For resources, it is desirable to use the expanded archive name of the resource as the name of the directory when adding it to the root staging area. #11528 established 'spack-src' as the universal directory where source files are placed, which also affected the behavior of resources managed with Stages. This adds a new property ('srcdir') to Stage to remember the name of the expanded source directory, and uses this as the default name when placing a resource directory in the root staging area. This also: * Ensures that downloaded sources are archived using the expanded archive name (otherwise Spack will not be able to determine the original directory name when using a cached archive). * Updates working_dir context manager to guarantee restoration of original working directory when an exception occurs * Adds a "temp_cwd" context manager which creates a temporary directory and sets it as the working directory |

Spack
Spack is a multi-platform package manager that builds and installs multiple versions and configurations of software. It works on Linux, macOS, and many supercomputers. Spack is non-destructive: installing a new version of a package does not break existing installations, so many configurations of the same package can coexist.
Spack offers a simple "spec" syntax that allows users to specify versions and configuration options. Package files are written in pure Python, and specs allow package authors to write a single script for many different builds of the same package. With Spack, you can build your software all the ways you want to.
See the Feature Overview for examples and highlights.
To install spack and your first package, make sure you have Python. Then:
$ git clone https://github.com/spack/spack.git
$ cd spack/bin
$ ./spack install libelf
