Support mirroring all packages with `spack mirror create --all`.
In this mode there is no concretization:
* Spack pulls every version of every package into the created mirror.
* It also makes multiple attempts for each package/version combination
(if there is a temporary connection failure).
* Continues if all attempts fail. i.e., this makes its best effort to
fetch evrerything, even if all attempts to fetch one package fail.
This also changes mirroring logic to prefer storing sources by their hash
or by a unique name derived from the source. For example:
* Archives with checksums are named by the sha256 sum, i.e.,
`archive/f6/f6cf3bd233f9ea6147b21c7c02cac24e5363570ce4fd6be11dab9f499ed6a7d8.tar.gz`
vs the previous `<package-name>-package-version>.tar.gz`
* VCS repositories are stored by a path derived from their URL,
e.g. `git/google/leveldb.git/master.tar.gz`.
The new mirror layout allows different packages to refer to the same
resource or source without duplicating that download in the
mirror/cache. This change is not essential to mirroring everything but is
expected to save space when mirroring packages that all use the same
resource.
The new structure of the mirror is:
```
<base directory>/
_source-cache/ <-- the _source-cache directory is new
archive/ <-- archives/resources/patches stored by hash
00/ <-- 2-letter sha256 prefix
002748bdd0319d5ab82606cf92dc210fc1c05d0607a2e1d5538f60512b029056.tar.gz
01/
0154c25c45b5506b6d618ca8e18d0ef093dac47946ac0df464fb21e77b504118.tar.gz
0173a74a515211997a3117a47e7b9ea43594a04b865b69da5a71c0886fa829ea.tar.gz
...
git/
OpenFAST/
openfast.git/
master.tar.gz <-- repo by branch name
PHASTA/
phasta.git/
11f431f2d1a53a529dab4b0f079ab8aab7ca1109.tar.gz <-- repo by commit
...
svn/ <-- each fetch strategy has its own subdirectory
...
openmpi/ <-- the remaining package directories have the old format
openmpi-1.10.1.tar.gz <-- human-readable name is symlink to _source-cache
```
In addition to the archive names as described above, `mirror create` now
also creates symlinks with the old format to help users understand which
package each mirrored archive is associated with, and to allow mirrors to
work with old spack versions. The symlinks are relative so the mirror
directory can still itself be archived.
Other improvements:
* `spack mirror create` will not re-download resources that have already
been placed in it.
* When creating a mirror, the resources downloaded to the mirror will not
be cached (things are not stored twice).
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 zlib
Documentation
Full documentation is available, or
run spack help or spack help --all.
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.

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 Travis CI. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.
Spack uses a rough approximation of the
Git Flow
branching model. The develop branch contains the latest
contributions, and master is always tagged and points to the latest
stable release.
