Using double quotes creates issues with shell variable substitutions,
in particular when the manifest has "definitions:" in it. Use single
quotes instead.
Add a "require" directive to packages, which functions exactly like
requirements specified in packages.yaml (uses the same fact-generation
logic); update both to allow making the requirement conditional.
* Packages may now use "require" to add constraints. This can be useful
for something like "require(%gcc)" (where before we had to add a
conflict for every compiler except gcc).
* Requirements (in packages.yaml or in a "require" directive) can be
conditional on a spec, e.g. "require(%gcc, when=@1.0.0)" (version
1.0.0 can only build with gcc).
* Requirements may include a message which clarifies why they are needed.
The concretizer assigns a high priority to errors which generate these
messages (in particular over errors for unsatisfied requirements that
do not produce messages, but also over a number of more-generic
errors).
## Version types, parsing and printing
- The version classes have changed: `VersionBase` is removed, there is now a
`ConcreteVersion` base class. `StandardVersion` and `GitVersion` both inherit
from this.
- The public api (`Version`, `VersionRange`, `ver`) has changed a bit:
1. `Version` produces either `StandardVersion` or `GitVersion` instances.
2. `VersionRange` produces a `ClosedOpenRange`, but this shouldn't affect the user.
3. `ver` produces any of `VersionList`, `ClosedOpenRange`, `StandardVersion`
or `GitVersion`.
- No unexpected type promotion, so that the following is no longer an identity:
`Version(x) != VersionRange(x, x)`.
- `VersionList.concrete` now returns a version if it contains only a single element
subtyping `ConcreteVersion` (i.e. `StandardVersion(...)` or `GitVersion(...)`)
- In version lists, the parser turns `@x` into `VersionRange(x, x)` instead
of `Version(x)`.
- The above also means that `ver("x")` produces a range, whereas
`ver("=x")` produces a `StandardVersion`. The `=` is part of _VersionList_
syntax.
- `VersionList.__str__` now outputs `=x.y.z` for specific version entries,
and `x.y.z` as a short-hand for ranges `x.y.z:x.y.z`.
- `Spec.format` no longer aliases `{version}` to `{versions}`, but pulls the
concrete version out of the list and prints that -- except when the list is
is not concrete, then is falls back to `{versions}` to avoid a pedantic error.
For projections of concrete specs, `{version}` should be used to render
`1.2.3` instead of `=1.2.3` (which you would get with `{versions}`).
The default `Spec` format string used in `Spec.__str__` now uses
`{versions}` so that `str(Spec(string)) == string` holds.
## Changes to `GitVersion`
- `GitVersion` is a small wrapper around `StandardVersion` which enriches it
with a git ref. It no longer inherits from it.
- `GitVersion` _always_ needs to be able to look up an associated Spack version
if it was not assigned (yet). It throws a `VersionLookupError` whenever `ref_version`
is accessed but it has no means to look up the ref; in the past Spack would
not error and use the commit sha as a literal version, which was incorrect.
- `GitVersion` is never equal to `StandardVersion`, nor is satisfied by it. This
is such that we don't lose transitivity. This fixes the following bug on `develop`
where `git_version_a == standard_version == git_version_b` does not imply
`git_version_a == git_version_b`. It also ensures equality always implies equal
hash, which is also currently broken on develop; inclusion tests of a set of
versions + git versions would behave differently from inclusion tests of a
list of the same objects.
- The above means `ver("ref=1.2.3) != ver("=1.2.3")` could break packages that branch
on specific versions, but that was brittle already, since the same happens with
externals: `pkg@1.2.3-external` suffixes wouldn't be exactly equal either. Instead,
those checks should be `x.satisfies("@1.2.3")` which works both for git versions and
custom version suffixes.
- `GitVersion` from commit will now print as `<hash>=<version>` once the
git ref is resolved to a spack version. This is for reliability -- version is frozen
when added to the database and queried later. It also improves performance
since there is no need to clone all repos of all git versions after `spack clean -m`
is run and something queries the database, triggering version comparison, such
as potentially reuse concretization.
- The "empty VerstionStrComponent trick" for `GitVerison` is dropped since it wasn't
representable as a version string (by design). Instead, it's replaced by `git`,
so you get `1.2.3.git.4` (which reads 4 commits after a tag 1.2.3). This means
that there's an edge case for version schemes `1.1.1`, `1.1.1a`, since the
generated git version `1.1.1.git.1` (1 commit after `1.1.1`) compares larger
than `1.1.1a`, since `a < git` are compared as strings. This is currently a
wont-fix edge case, but if really required, could be fixed by special casing
the `git` string.
- Saved, concrete specs (database, lock file, ...) that only had a git sha as their
version, but have no means to look the effective Spack version anymore, will
now see their version mapped to `hash=develop`. Previously these specs
would always have their sha literally interpreted as a version string (even when
it _could_ be looked up). This only applies to databases, lock files and spec.json
files created before Spack 0.20; after this PR, we always have a Spack version
associated to the relevant GitVersion).
- Fixes a bug where previously `to_dict` / `from_dict` (de)serialization would not
reattach the repo to the GitVersion, causing the git hash to be used as a literal
(bogus) version instead of the resolved version. This was in particularly breaking
version comparison in the build process on macOS/Windows.
## Installing or matching specific versions
- In the past, `spack install pkg@3.2` would install `pkg@=3.2` if it was a
known specific version defined in the package, even when newer patch releases
`3.2.1`, `3.2.2`, `...` were available. This behavior was only there because
there was no syntax to distinguish between `3.2` and `3.2.1`. Since there is
syntax for this now through `pkg@=3.2`, the old exact matching behavior is
removed. This means that `spack install pkg@3.2` constrains the `pkg` version
to the range `3.2`, and `spack install pkg@=3.2` constrains it to the specific
version `3.2`.
- Also in directives such as `depends_on("pkg@2.3")` and their when
conditions `conflicts("...", when="@2.3")` ranges are ranges, and specific
version matches require `@=2.3.`.
- No matching version: in the case `pkg@3.2` matches nothing, concretization
errors. However, if you run `spack install pkg@=3.2` and this version
doesn't exist, Spack will define it; this allows you to install non-registered
versions.
- For consistency, you can now do `%gcc@10` and let it match a configured
`10.x.y` compiler. It errors when there is no matching compiler.
In the past it was interpreted like a specific `gcc@=10` version, which
would get bootstrapped.
- When compiler _bootstrapping_ is enabled, `%gcc@=10.2.0` can be used to
bootstrap a specific compiler version.
## Other changes
- Externals, compilers, and develop spec definitions are backwards compatible.
They are typically defined as `pkg@3.2.1` even though they should be
saying `pkg@=3.2.1`. Spack now transforms `pkg@3` into `pkg@=3` in those cases.
- Finally, fix strictness of `version(...)` directive/declaration. It just does a simple
type check, and now requires strings/integers. Floats are not allowed because
they are ambiguous `str(3.10) == "3.1"`.
