- some commands were missed in the rollout of spack environments
- this makes all commands that need to disambiguate specs restrict the
disambiguation to installed packages in the active environment, as
users would expect
* This fixes a number of bugs:
* Patches were not properly downloaded and added to mirrors.
* Mirror create didn't respect `list_url` in packages
* Update the `spack mirror` command to add all packages in the
concretized DAG (where originally it only added the package specified
by the user). This is required in order to collect patches that are specified
by dependents. Example:
* if X->Y and X requires a patch on Y called Pxy, then Pxy will only
be discovered if you create a mirror with X.
* replace confusing --one-version-per-spec option for `spack mirror create`
with --versions-per-spec; support retrieving multiple versions for
concrete specs
* Implementation details:
* `spack mirror create` now uses regular staging logic to download files
into a mirror, instead of reimplementing it in `add_single_spec`.
* use a separate resource caching object to keep track of new
resources and already-existing resources; also accepts storing
resources retrieved from a cache (unlike the local cache)
* mirror cache object now stores resources that are considered
non-cachable, like (e.g. the tip of a branch);
* the 'create' function of the mirror module no longer traverses
dependencies since this was already handled by the 'mirror' command;
* Change handling of `--no-checksum`:
* now that 'mirror create' uses stages, the mirror tests disable
checksums when creating the mirror
* remove `no_checksum` argument from library functions - this is now
handled at the Spack-command-level (like for 'spack install')
- all multimethod tests are now run for both `multimethod` and
`multimethod-inheritor`
- do this with a parameterized fixture (pkg_name) that runs the same
tests on both
- 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.
