Fix variant expressions that will never match (#46314)
In #44425, we add stricter variant audits that catch expressions that can never match.

This fixes 13 packages that had this type of issue.

Most packages had lingering spec expressions from before conditional variants with
`when=` statements were added. For example:

* Given `conflicts("+a", when="~b")`, if the package has since added
  `variant("a", when="+b")`, the conflict is no longer needed, because
  `a` and `b` will never exist together.

* Similarly, two packages that depended on `py-torch` depended on
  `py-torch~cuda~cudnn`, which can't match because the `cudnn` variant
  doesn't exist when `cuda` is disabled. Note that neither `+foo` or `~foo`
  match (intentionally) if the `foo` variant doesn't exist.

* Some packages referred to impossible version/variant combinations, e.g.,
  `ceed@1.0.0+mfem~petsc` when the `petsc` variant only exist at version `2`
  or higher.

Some of these correct real issues (e.g. the `py-torch` dependencies would have never
worked). Others simply declutter old code in packages by making all constraints
consistent with version and variant updates.

The only one of these that I think is not all that useful is the one for `acts`,
where looping over `cxxstd` versions and package versions ends up adding some
constraints that are impossible. The additional dependencies could never have
happened and the code is more complicated with the needed extra constriant.
I think *probably* the best thing to do in `acts` is to just not to use a loop
and to write out the constraints explicitly, but maybe the code is easier to
maintain as written.

Spack is a multi-platform package manager that builds and installs multiple versions and configurations of software. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows, 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 -c feature.manyFiles=true https://github.com/spack/spack.git
$ cd spack/bin
$ ./spack install zlib

Documentation

Full documentation is available, or run spack help or spack help --all.

For a cheat sheet on Spack syntax, run spack help --spec.

Tutorial

We maintain a hands-on tutorial. It covers basic to advanced usage, packaging, developer features, and large HPC deployments. You can do all of the exercises on your own laptop using a Docker container.

Feel free to use these materials to teach users at your organization about Spack.

Community

Spack is an open source project. Questions, discussion, and contributions are welcome. Contributions can be anything from new packages to bugfixes, documentation, or even new core features.

Resources:

Contributing

Contributing to Spack is relatively easy. Just send us a pull request. When you send your request, make develop the destination branch on the Spack repository.

Your PR must pass Spack's unit tests and documentation tests, and must be PEP 8 compliant. We enforce these guidelines with our CI process. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.

Spack's develop branch has the latest contributions. Pull requests should target develop, and users who want the latest package versions, features, etc. can use develop.

Releases

For multi-user site deployments or other use cases that need very stable software installations, we recommend using Spack's stable releases.

Each Spack release series also has a corresponding branch, e.g. releases/v0.14 has 0.14.x versions of Spack, and releases/v0.13 has 0.13.x versions. We backport important bug fixes to these branches but we do not advance the package versions or make other changes that would change the way Spack concretizes dependencies within a release branch. So, you can base your Spack deployment on a release branch and git pull to get fixes, without the package churn that comes with develop.

The latest release is always available with the releases/latest tag.

See the docs on releases for more details.

Code of Conduct

Please note that Spack has a Code of Conduct. By participating in the Spack community, you agree to abide by its rules.
