* new package: py-youtube-dl + fixes for dependencies This PR adds the py-youtube-dl program. In addition, there are a couple of dependency packages that needed to be updated. * ffmpeg This is needed by py-youtube-dl. However, the spack ffmpeg recipe does not include a lot of options, specifically, a dependency on openssl for working with the https protocol. - Added updated version. - Added variants for the different licensing options. - Added "meta" variants for X and drawtext. These turn on/off several options. - Set variants and dependencies for many options. The defaults are based on the configuration settings in ffmpeg. - Set dependencies that were missing or that will likely get pulled in from the system. * libxml2 The ffmpeg+libxml2 variant initially failed to build. The issue is that libxml2 sets the headers property to include_dir = self.spec.prefix.include.libxml2 The ffmpeg configure looks for prefix.include and fills in the rest. This could probably be patched in ffmpeg but the headers property in the libxml2 recipe is not consistent with the environment module or the pkgconfig file, both of which set the headers path to prefix.include. This PR sets the libxml2 headers property to include_dir = self.spec.prefix.include A spot check of a few libxml2 dependents did not rreveal any problems with this change. * Comment out libxml2 dependency in ffmpeg The header property issue of the spack libxml2 package will need to be resolved in another PR before libxml2 can be enabled in ffmpeg.
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

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.
