Reading the database repeatedly can be quite slow. We need a way to speed
up Spack when it reads the DB multiple times, but the DB has not been
modified between reads (which is nearly all the time).
- [x] Add a file containing a unique uuid that is regenerated at database
write time. Use this uuid to suppress re-parsing the database
contents if we know a previous uuid and the uuid has not changed.
- [x] Fix mutable_database fixture so that it resets the last seen
verifier when it resets.
- [x] Enable not rereading the database immediately after a write. Make
the tests reset the last seen verifier in between tests that use the
database fixture.
- [x] make presence of uuid module optional
* Add gmsh v4.5.4 with new options
This adds OpenCASCADE as an alternative to the oce package.
A new variant 'privateapi' is added to enable the gmsh private API.
* Make oce conflict with opencascade in gmsh
Spack currently cannot run as a background process uninterrupted because some of the logging functions used in the install method (especially to create the dynamic verbosity toggle with the v key) cause the OS to issue a SIGTTOU to Spack when it's backgrounded.
This PR puts the necessary gatekeeping in place so that Spack doesn't do anything that will cause a signal to stop the process when operating as a background process.

This makes sure that a package's fetch_options are used when fetching
new versions to checksum. This allows working around problems with
slow servers or those requiring a cookie to be set.
Bug: Spack hangs on some Cray machines
Reason: The TERM environment variable is necessary to run bash -lc "echo $CRAY_CPU_TARGET", but we run that command within env -i, which wipes the environment.
Fix: Manually forward the TERM environment variable to env -i /bin/bash -lc "echo $CRAY_CPU_TARGET"
When trying to use an upstream Spack repository, as of f2aca86 Spack
was attempting to write to the upstream DB based on a new metadata
directory added in that commit. Upstream DBs are read-only, so this
should not occur.
This adds a check to prevent Spack from writing to the upstream DB
fixes#15449
Before this PR a call to pkg.url_for_version was modifying
class attributes determining different results for subsequents
calls and an error when the urls was empty.
This recovers the old behavior of replace_prefix_bin that was
modified to work with elf binaries by prefixing os.sep to new prefix
until length is the same as old prefix.
Testing the install StopIteration exception resulted in an attribute error:
AttributeError: 'StopIteration' object has no attribute 'message'
This PR adds a unit test and resolves that error.
The new build process, introduced in #13100 , relies on a spec's dependents in addition to their dependencies. Loading a spec from a yaml file was not initializing the dependents.
- [x] populate dependents when loading from yaml
The distributed build PR (#13100) -- did not check the install status of dependencies when using the `--only package` option so would refuse to install a package with the claim that it had uninstalled dependencies whether that was the case or not.
- [x] add install status checks for the `--only package` case.
- [x] add initial set of tests
This change stores packages' configure arguments during build and makes
use of them while refreshing module files. This fixes problems such as in
#10716.
* Add version 6.20.{00,02}, don't yet mark it preferred
* It needs zstd
* It needs numpy (at least for 6.20.00:6.20.03)
* Reorder python dependencies a bit
* Add mlp variant, default False
Older versions always include mlp, so no conflicts there.
* Disable tmva, because it needs mlp
* tmva needs mlp, so add conflict
