Before this change, in pipeline environments where runners do not have access to persistent shared file-system storage, the only way to pass buildcaches to dependents in later stages was by using the "enable-artifacts-buildcache" flag in the gitlab-ci section of the spack.yaml. This change supports a second mechanism, named "temporary-storage-url-prefix", which can be provided instead of the "enable-artifacts-buildcache" feature, but the two cannot be used at the same time. If this prefix is provided (only "file://" and "s3://" urls are supported), the gitlab "CI_PIPELINE_ID" will be appended to it to create a url for a mirror where pipeline jobs will write buildcache entries for use by jobs in subsequent stages. If this prefix is provided, a cleanup job will be generated to run after all the rebuild jobs have finished that will delete the contents of the temporary mirror. To support this behavior a new mirror sub-command has been added: "spack mirror destroy" which can take either a mirror name or url. This change also fixes a bug in generation of "needs" list for each job. Each jobs "needs" list is supposed to only contain direct dependencies for scheduling purposes, unless "enable-artifacts-buildcache" is specified. Only in that case are the needs lists supposed to contain all transitive dependencies. This changes fixes a bug that caused the needs lists to always contain all transitive dependencies, regardless of whether or not "enable-artifacts-buildcache" was specified. |

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 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.
