- Since early Spack versions, the SpecParser has (weirdly) been
responsible for initializing Spec fields.
- This refactors initialization to take place in Spec.__init__, as it
probably should have originally.
- This makes the code easier to read, the parser easier to understand,
and removes the use of __new__ in the parser to initialize the Spec.
- This also makes it possible to make a completely empty Spec with
`Spec()` -- this is an abstract Spec that will match anything.
* "spack install" now uses cache by default, update examples accordingly
* Replace some example packages with others
* Packing tutorial reference to "spack env" replaced with "spack build-env"
* Command line prompts in examples are shortened
* Example output (including paths) are updated to be more relevant to training environment
Update all examples that need an MPI provider to build with MPICH; reorganize so that fixing MPICH (as part of environment section) comes first in the tutorial (most examples in the tutorial use an MPI provider).
- previously, uninstall would complain if a spec was needed by an
environment.
- Now, we analyze dependents and dependent environments and simply remove
(not uninstall) specs that are needed by environments
- with no arguments, these commands will now edit or dump the
environment's `spack.yaml` file.
- users may not know where named environments live
- this makes it convenient for users to get to the spack.yaml
configuration file for their named environment.
* Update Makefile to use property methods ("build_targets"/"install_targets")
to demonstrate their usage
* Fix highlighting
* Change cbench example to ESMF:
CBench package file was changed and no longer uses the example shown in
the old docs
Scopes added with -C are now referred to as "custom scopes"
rather than "command line scopes". "command line scope" now refers
to specific config options that are set on the command line (like
"--insecure")
- default is still to use the cache, but we've added back the
`--use-cache` argument so that scripts that used it are still correct.
- `--no-cache` is stil present and is mutually exclusive with `--use-cache`
* Introduce FFTW2 and FFT3 providers for Intel-MKL and FFTW Spack packages.
* make fftw default package for fftw-api virtual package
* virtual package test assertion now provides location of default virtual packages.
* Change name of virtual package to fftw-api and used versioned interface.
- all commands (except `spack find`, through `ConstraintAction`) now go
through get_env() to get the active environment
- ev.active was hard to read -- and the name wasn't descriptive.
- rename it to _active_environment to be more descriptive and to strongly
indicate that spack.environment manages it
- to aovid changing spec hashes drastically, only add this attribute to
differentiated abstract specs.
- othherwise assume that read-in specs are concrete
- spack.yaml files in the current directory were picked up inconsistently
-- make this a sure thing by moving that logic into find_environment()
and moving find_environment() to main()
- simplify arguments to Spack command:
- remove short args for infrequently used commands (--pdb/-D, -P, -s)
- `spack -D` now forces an env with a directory
- The `Spec` class maintains a special `_patches_in_order_of_appearance`
attribute on patch variants, but it is was preserved when specs are
copied.
- This caused issues for some builds
- Add special logic to `Spec` to preserve this variant on copy
- TODO: in the long term we should get rid of the special variant and
make it the responsibility of one of the variant classes.
- split 'environment' section into 'environments' and 'modules'
- move location to 'query packages' section
- move cd to developer section
- --env-dir no longer has a short optino (was -E)
- -E now means "run without an environment" (no longer same as --env-dir)
- -D now means "run with this directory environment"
- remove short options for may infrequently used top-level commands
- `spack env status` used to show install status; consolidate that into
`spack find`.
- `spack env status` will still print out whether there is an active
environment
- uninstall now:
- restricts its spec search to the current environment
- removes uninstalled specs from the current environment
- reports envs that still need specs you're trying to uninstall
- removed spack env uninstall command
- updated tests
- moved get_env from cmd/env.py to environment.py
- spack install will now install into the active environment when no
arguments are provided. It looks:
1. at the command line
2. for a local spack.yaml file
3. for any currently activated environment
- `spack env create <name>` works as before
- `spack env create <path>` now works as well -- environments can be
created in their own directories outside of Spack.
- `spack install` will look for a `spack.yaml` file in the current
directory, and will install the entire project from the environment
- The Environment class has been refactored so that it does not depend on
the internal Spack environment root; it just takes a path and operates
on an environment in that path (so internal and external envs are
handled the same)
- The named environment interface has been hoisted to the
spack.environment module level.
- env.yaml is now spack.yaml in all places. It was easier to go with one
name for these files than to try to handle logic for both env.yaml and
spack.yaml.
