Adds `spack external read-cray-manifest`, which reads a json file that describes a set of package DAGs. The parsed results are stored directly in the database. A user can see these installed specs with `spack find` (like any installed spec). The easiest way to use them right now as dependencies is to run `spack spec ... ^/hash-of-external-package`. Changes include: * `spack external read-cray-manifest --file <path/to/file>` will add all specs described in the file to Spack's installation DB and will also install described compilers to the compilers configuration (the expected format of the file is described in this PR as well including examples of the file) * Database records now may include an "origin" (the command added in this PR registers the origin as "external-db"). In the future, it is assumed users may want to be able to treat installs registered with this command differently (e.g. they may want to uninstall all specs added with this command) * Hash properties are now always preserved when copying specs if the source spec is concrete * I don't think the hashes of installed-and-concrete specs should change and this was the easiest way to handle that * also specs that are concrete preserve their `.normal` property when copied (external specs may mention compilers that are not registered, and without this change they would fail in `normalize` when calling `validate_or_raise`) * it might be this should only be the case if the spec was installed - [x] Improve testing - [x] Specifically mark DB records added with this command (so that users can do something like "uninstall all packages added with `spack read-external-db`) * This is now possible with `spack uninstall --all --origin=external-db` (this will remove all specs added from manifest files) - [x] Strip variants that are listed in json entries but don't actually exist for the package Co-authored-by: Harmen Stoppels <harmenstoppels@gmail.com> |

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 -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:
- Slack workspace: spackpm.slack.com. To get an invitation, visit slack.spack.io.
- Mailing list: groups.google.com/d/forum/spack
- Twitter: @spackpm. Be sure to
@mentionus!
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.
