The YAML config for paths and modules of external packages has
changed: the new format allows a single spec to load multiple
modules. Spack will automatically convert from the old format
when reading the configs (the updates do not add new essential
properties, so this change in Spack is backwards-compatible).
With this update, Spack cannot modify existing configs/environments
without updating them (e.g. “spack config add” will fail if the
configuration is in a format that predates this PR). The user is
prompted to do this explicitly and commands are provided. All
config scopes can be updated at once. Each environment must be
updated one at a time.
`spack -V` stopped working when we added the `releases/latest` tag to
track the most recent release. It started just reporting the version,
even on a `develop` checkout. We need to tell it to *only* search for
tags that start with `v`, so that it will ignore `releases/latest`.
`spack -V` also would print out unwanted git eror output on a shallow
clone.
- [x] add `--match 'v*'` to `git describe` arguments
- [x] route error output to `os.devnull`
`spack buildcache list` was trying to construct an `Arch` object and
compare it to `arch_for_spec(<spec>)`. for each spec in the buildcache.
`Arch` objects are only intended to be constructed for the machine they
describe. The `ArchSpec` object (part of the `Spec`) is the descriptor
that lets us talk about architectures anywhere.
- [x] Modify `spack buildcache list` and `spack buildcache install` to
filter with `Spec` matching instead of using `Arch`.
- [x] Make it easier to get a `Spec` with a proper `ArchSpec` from an
`Arch` object via new `Arch.to_spec()` method.
- [x] Pull `spack.architecture.default_arch()` out of
`spack.architecture.sys_type()` so we can get an `Arch` instead of
a string.
* Run Python2.6 unit tests on Github Actions
* Skip url tests on Python 2.6 to reduce waiting times
* Skip foreground background tests on Python 2.6 to reduce waiting times
* Removed references to Travis in the documentation
* Deleted install_patchelf.sh (can be installed from repo on CentOS 6)
Relative paths in views have been broken since #17608 or earlier.
- [x] Fix by passing base path of the environment into the `ViewDescriptor`.
Relative paths are calculated from this path.

A bug was introduced in #13100 where ChildErrors would be redundantly
printed when raised during a build. We should eventually revisit error
handling in builds and figure out what the right separation of
responsibilities is for distributed builds, but for now just skip
printing.
- [x] SpackErrors were designed to be printed by the forked process, not
by the parent, so check if they've already been printed.
- [x] update tests

Fixes#17299
Cray Shasta systems appear to use an unmodified Sles or other Linux operating system on the backend (like Cray "Cluster" systems and unlike Cray "XC40" systems that use CNL).
This updates the CNL version detection to properly note that this is the underlying OS instead of CNL and delegate to LinuxDistro.
* environment-views: fix bug where missing recipe/repo breaks env commands
When a recipe or a repo has been removed from Spack and an environment
is active, it causes the view activation to crash Spack before any
commands can be executed. Further, the error message it not at all clear
in explaining the issue.
This forces view regeneration to always start from scratch to avoid the
missing package recipes, and defaults add_view=False in main for views activated
by the `spack -e` option.
* add messages to env status and deactivate
Warn users that a view may be corrupt when deactivating an environment
or checking its status while active. Updated message for activate.
* tests for view checking

* switch from bool to int debug levels
* Added debug options and changed lock logging to use more detailed values
* Limit installer and timestamp PIDs to standard debug output
* Reduced verbosity of fetch/stage/install output, changing most to debug level 1
* Combine lock log methods; change build process install to debug
* Changed binary cache install messages to extraction messages
* bugfix: make compiler preferences slightly saner
This fixes two issues with the way we currently select compilers.
If multiple compilers have the same "id" (os/arch/compiler/version), we
currently prefer them by picking this one with the most supported
languages. This can have some surprising effects:
* If you have no `gfortran` but you have `gfortran-8`, you can detect
`clang` that has no configured C compiler -- just `f77` and `f90`. This
happens frequently on macOS with homebrew. The bug is due to some
kludginess about the way we detect mixed `clang`/`gfortran`.
* We can prefer suffixed versions of compilers to non-suffixed versions,
which means we may select `clang-gpu` over `clang` at LLNL. But,
`clang-gpu` is not actually clang, and it can break builds. We should
prefer `clang` if it's available.
- [x] prefer compilers that have C compilers and prefer no name variation
to variation.
* tests: add test for which()
Apple's gcc is really clang. We previously ignored it by default but
there was a regression in #17110.
Originally we checked for all clang versions with this, but I know of
none other than `gcc` on macos that actually do this, so limiting to
`apple-clang` should be ok.
- [x] Fix check for `apple-clang` in `gcc.py` to use version detection
from `spack.compilers.apple_clang`
The `spack-build-env.txt` file may contains many secrets, but the obvious one is the private signing key in `SPACK_SIGNING_KEY`. This file is nonetheless uploaded as a build artifact to gitlab. For anyone running CI on a public version of Gitlab this is a major security problem. Even for private Gitlab instances it can be very problematic.

Spack did not support usage of the `--config-scope` option in
combination with an environment: In `lib/spack/spack/main.py`,
`spack.config.command_line_scopes` is set equal to any config scopes
passed by the `--config-scope` option. However, this is done after
activating an environment. In the process of activating an environment,
the `spack.config.config` singleton is instantiated, so later setting of
`spack.config.command_line_scopes` is ignored.
This commit sets command line scopes before activating an environment to
ensure that they are included in the configuration.
