python install and lib/spack/external have the same library installed. This
requires modifying the names of some modules in lib/spack/external in cases
where both the system python and backported features of future python versions
(i.e. after 2.6) are used (previously distinguished by "from external import X"
and "import X").
- `remove_prefix` was modified to remove from the DB, but the package
may not have been added to the DB yet when `remove_prefix` is called
from `cleanup`.
- Made `remove_prefix` a pure utility function (it just removes the prefix)
- Added `installed_db.remove()` call only after the `remove_prefix` in
`uninstall`.
- Code simplification ignored case where exception was raised.
- If LockError was raised, read and write counts were incremented erroneously.
- updated lock test.
output path is specified. Test output files are placed in this directory.
Furthermore the filenames now have the prefix "test" (but otherwise are the
string representation of the spec ID as before).
- llnl.util.lock now uses fcntl.lockf instead of flock
- purported to have more NFS compatibility.
- Added an extensive test case for locks.
- tests acquiring, releasing, upgrading, timeouts, shared, & exclusive cases.
convert individual bytes, so therefore incorrectly converts utf-8 encoded
characters. Decoding byte strings to unicode objects results in correct HTML
number encodings.
2. The parent of a failed child process in build_environment.fork no longer
calls sys.exit - instead it raises a CommandError (from [1])
3. test-install command now attempts to install all packages even if one fails
command by having it consume exactly 1 positional argument (i.e. by removing
"nargs=argparse.REMAINDER") but this does not work when configuring dependencies
of a top-level package (which show up as additional positional args). Instead
now there is an explicit check to ensure there is only 1 top-level package.
argument). The default path is [package id].xml in the CWD where test-install
is called from.
2. Fixed a bug with package.build_log_path (which was added in this branch).
3. keep_stage for package.do_install is now set. This allows uninstalling and
reinstalling packages without (re) downloading them.
Also even though I calculated which installs are new (e.g. vs. packages that
have already been installed by a previous command) I forgot to make use of that
in create_test_output (so I was always generating test output even if a package
had been installed before running the test-install command).
Note to avoid confusion: the 'handled' variable (removed in this commit) did not
serve the same purpose as 'newInstalls': it was originally required because the
recursive approach would visit the same dependency twice if more than one
package depended on it.
