* Remove vestigial code to be compatible with Spack v0.9.X
* ArchSpec: reworked __repr__ to be more adherent to common Python idioms
* ArchSpec: simplified __init__.py and copy()
The logic to perform detection of already installed
packages has been extracted from cmd/external.py
and put into the spack.detection package.
In this way it can be reused programmatically for
other purposes, like bootstrapping.
The new implementation accounts for cases where the
executables are placed in a subdirectory within <prefix>/bin
* Use gnuconfig package for config file replacement
Currently the autotools build system tries to pick up config.sub and
config.guess files from the system (in /usr/share) on arm and power.
This is introduces an implicit system dependency which we can avoid by
distributing config.guess and config.sub files in a separate package,
such as the new `gnuconfig` package which is very lightweight/text only
(unlike automake where we previously pulled these files from as a
backup). This PR adds `gnuconfig` as an unconditional build dependency
for arm and power archs.
In case the user needs a system version of config.sub and config.guess,
they are free to mark `gnuconfig` as an external package with the prefix
pointing to the directory containing the config files:
```yaml
gnuconfig:
externals:
- spec: gnuconfig@master
prefix: /tmp/tmp.ooBlkyAKdw/lol
buildable: false
```
Apart from that, this PR gives some better instructions for users when
replacing config files goes wrong.
* Mock needs this package too now, because autotools adds a depends_on
* Add documentation
* Make patch_config_files a prop, fix the docs, add integrations tests
* Make macOS happy
- Match failed autotest tests show the word "FAILED" near the end
- Match "FAIL: ", "FATAL: ", "failed ", "Failed test" of other suites
- autotest " ok"$ means the test passed, independend of text before.
- autoconf messages showing missing tools are fatal later, show them.
* autotoolspackage.rst: No depends_on('m4') with depends_on('autoconf')
- Remove `m4` from the example depends_on() lines for the autoreconf phase.
- Change the branch used as example from develop to master as it is
far more common in the packages of spack's builtin repo.
- Fix the wrong info that libtoolize and aclocal are run explicitly
in the autoreconf phase by default. autoreconf calls these internally
as needed, thus autotools.py also does not call them directly.
- Add that autoreconf() also adds -I<aclocal-prefix>/share/aclocal.
- Add an example how to set autoreconf_extra_args.
- Add an example of a custom autoreconf phase for running autogen.sh.

This commit shows a template for cut-and-paste into the package to fix it:
```py
==> fast-global-file-status: Executing phase: 'autoreconf'
==> Error: RuntimeError: Cannot generate configure: missing dependencies autoconf, automake, libtool.
Please add the following lines to the package:
depends_on('autoconf', type='build', when='@master')
depends_on('automake', type='build', when='@master')
depends_on('libtool', type='build', when='@master')
Update the version (when='@master') as needed.

clean_environment(): Unset three more environment variables:
MAKEFLAGS: Affects make, can eg indirectly inhibit enabling parallel build
DISPLAY: Tests of GUI widget libraries might try to connect to an X server
TERM: Could make testsuites attempt to color their output
fixes#25992
Currently the bootstrapping process may need a compiler.
When bootstrapping from sources the need is obvious, while
when bootstrapping from binaries it's currently needed in
case patchelf is not on the system (since it will be then
bootstrapped from sources).
Before this PR we were searching for compilers as the
first operation, in case they were not declared in
the configuration. This fails in case we start
bootstrapping from within an environment.
The fix is to defer the search until we have swapped
configuration.
While debugging #24508, I noticed that we call `basename` in `cc`. The
same can be achieved by using Bash's parameter expansion, saving one
external process per call.
Parameter expansion cannot replace basename for directories in some
cases, but is guaranteed to work for executables.
Git 2.24 introduced a feature flag for repositories with many files, see:
https://github.blog/2019-11-03-highlights-from-git-2-24/#feature-macros
Since Spack's Git repository contains roughly 8,500 files, it can be
worthwhile to enable this, especially on slow file systems such as NFS:
```
$ hyperfine --warmup 3 'cd spack-default; git status' 'cd spack-manyfiles; git status'
Benchmark #1: cd spack-default; git status
Time (mean ± σ): 3.388 s ± 0.095 s [User: 256.2 ms, System: 625.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 3.168 s … 3.535 s 10 runs
Benchmark #2: cd spack-manyfiles; git status
Time (mean ± σ): 168.7 ms ± 10.9 ms [User: 98.6 ms, System: 126.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 144.8 ms … 188.0 ms 19 runs
Summary
'cd spack-manyfiles; git status' ran
20.09 ± 1.42 times faster than 'cd spack-default; git status'
```
Modifications:
- [x] Change `defaults/config.yaml`
- [x] Add a fix for bootstrapping patchelf from sources if `compilers.yaml` is empty
- [x] Make `SPACK_TEST_SOLVER=clingo` the default for unit-tests
- [x] Fix package failures in the e4s pipeline
Caveats:
1. CentOS 6 still uses the original concretizer as it can't connect to the buildcache due to issues with `ssl` (bootstrapping from sources requires a C++14 capable compiler)
1. I had to update the image tag for GitlabCI in e699f14.
1. libtool v2.4.2 has been deprecated and other packages received some update
This will allow a user to (from anywhere a Spec is parsed including both name and version) refer to a git commit in lieu of
a package version, and be able to make comparisons with releases in the history based on commits (or with other commits). We do this by way of:
- Adding a property, is_commit, to a version, meaning I can always check if a version is a commit and then change some action.
- Adding an attribute to the Version object which can lookup commits from a git repo and find the last known version before that commit, and the distance
- Construct new Version comparators, which are tuples. For normal versions, they are unchanged. For commits with a previous version x.y.z, d commits away, the comparator is (x, y, z, '', d). For commits with no previous version, the comparator is ('', d) where d is the distance from the first commit in the repo.
- Metadata on git commits is cached in the misc_cache, for quick lookup later.
- Git repos are cached as bare repos in `~/.spack/git_repos`
- In both caches, git repo urls are turned into file paths within the cache
If a commit cannot be found in the cached git repo, we fetch from the repo. If a commit is found in the cached metadata, we do not recompare to newly downloaded tags (assuming repo structure does not change). The cached metadata may be thrown out by using the `spack clean -m` option if you know the repo structure has changed in a way that invalidates existing entries. Future work will include automatic updates.
# Finding previous versions
Spack will search the repo for any tags that match the string of a version given by the `version` directive. Spack will also search for any tags that match `v + string` for any version string. Beyond that, Spack will search for tags that match a SEMVER regex (i.e., tags of the form x.y.z) and interpret those tags as valid versions as well. Future work will increase the breadth of tags understood by Spack
For each tag, Spack queries git to determine whether the tag is an ancestor of the commit in question or not. Spack then sorts the tags that are ancestors of the commit by commit-distance in the repo, and takes the nearest ancestor. The version represented by that tag is listed as the previous version for the commit.
Not all commits will find a previous version, depending on the package workflow. Future work may enable more tangential relationships between commits and versions to be discovered, but many commits in real world git repos require human knowledge to associate with a most recent previous version. Future work will also allow packages to specify commit/tag/version relationships manually for such situations.
# Version comparisons.
The empty string is a valid component of a Spack version tuple, and is in fact the lowest-valued component. It cannot be generated as part of any valid version. These two characteristics make it perfect for delineating previous versions from distances. For any version x.y.z, (x, y, z, '', _) will be less than any "real" version beginning x.y.z. This ensures that no distance from a release will cause the commit to be interpreted as "greater than" a version which is not an ancestor of it.

This PR coincides with tiny changes to spack to support spack monitor using the new spec
the corresponding spack monitor PR is at https://github.com/spack/spack-monitor/pull/31.
Since there are no changes to the database we can actually update the current server
fairly easily, so either someone can test locally or we can just update and then
test from that (and update as needed).

#22845 revealed a long-standing bug that had never been triggered before, because the
hashing algorithm had been stable for multiple years while the bug was in production. The
bug was that when reading a concretized environment, Spack did not properly read in the
build hashes associated with the specs in the environment. Those hashes were recomputed
(and as long as we didn't change the algorithm, were recomputed identically). Spack's
policy, though, is never to recompute a hash. Once something is installed, we respect its
metadata hash forever -- even if internally Spack changes the hashing method. Put
differently, once something is concretized, it has a concrete hash, and that's it -- forever.
When we changed the hashing algorithm for performance in #22845 we exposed the bug.
This PR fixes the bug at its source, but properly reading in the cached build hash attributes
associated with the specs. I've also renamed some variables in the Environment class
methods to make a mistake of this sort more difficult to make in the future.
* ensure environment build hashes are never recomputed
* add comment clarifying reattachment of env build hashes
* bump lockfile version and include specfile version in env meta
* Fix unit-test for v1 to v2 conversion

* Refactor platform etc. to avoid circular dependencies
All the base classes in spack.architecture have been
moved to the corresponding specialized subpackages,
e.g. Platform is now defined within spack.platforms.
This resolves a circular dependency where spack.architecture
was both:
- Defining the base classes for spack.platforms, etc.
- Collecting derived classes from spack.platforms, etc.
Now it dopes only the latter.
* Move a few platform related functions to "spack.platforms"
* Removed spack.architecture.sys_type()
* Fixup for docs
* Rename Python modules according to review
Currently as part of installing a package, we lock a prefix, check if
it exists, and create it if not; the logic for creating the prefix
included a check for the existence of that prefix (and raised an
exception if it did), which was redundant.
This also includes removal of tests which were not verifying
anything (they pass with or without the modifications in this PR).
Modifications:
- Export platforms from spack.platforms directly, so that client modules don't have to import submodules
- Use only plain imports in test/architecture.py
- Parametrized test in test/architecture.py and put most of the setup/teardown in fixtures
This is a major rework of Spack's core core `spec.yaml` metadata format. It moves from `spec.yaml` to `spec.json` for speed, and it changes the format in several ways. Specifically:
1. The spec format now has a `_meta` section with a version (now set to version `2`). This will simplify major changes like this one in the future.
2. The node list in spec dictionaries is no longer keyed by name. Instead, it is a list of records with no required key. The name, hash, etc. are fields in the dictionary records like any other.
3. Dependencies can be keyed by any hash (`hash`, `full_hash`, `build_hash`).
4. `build_spec` provenance from #20262 is included in the spec format. This means that, for spliced specs, we preserve the *full* provenance of how to build, and we can reproduce a spliced spec from the original builds that produced it.
**NOTE**: Because we have switched the spec format, this PR changes Spack's hashing algorithm. This means that after this commit, Spack will think a lot of things need rebuilds.
There are two major benefits this PR provides:
* The switch to JSON format speeds up Spack significantly, as Python's builtin JSON implementation is orders of magnitude faster than YAML.
* The new Spec format will soon allow us to represent DAGs with potentially multiple versions of the same dependency -- e.g., for build dependencies or for compilers-as-dependencies. This PR lays the necessary groundwork for those features.
The old `spec.yaml` format continues to be supported, but is now considered a legacy format, and Spack will opportunistically convert these to the new `spec.json` format.
This modification accounts for:
1. Bootstrapping from sources using system, non-standard Python
2. Using later an ABI compatible standard Python interpreter
* tests: make `spack url [stats|summary]` work on mock packages
Mock packages have historically had mock hashes, but this means they're also invalid
as far as Spack's hash detection is concerned.
- [x] convert all hashes in mock package to md5 or sha256
- [x] ensure that all mock packages have a URL
- [x] ignore some special cases with multiple VCS fetchers
* url stats: add `--show-issues` option
`spack url stats` tells us how many URLs are using what protocol, type of checksum,
etc., but it previously did not tell us which packages and URLs had the issues. This
adds a `--show-issues` option to show URLs with insecure (`http`) URLs or `md5` hashes
(which are now deprecated by NIST).
Fixes removal of SPACK_ENV_PATH from PATH in the presence of trailing
slashes in the elements of PATH:
The compiler wrapper has to ensure that it is not called nested like
it would happen when gcc's collect2 uses PATH to call the linker ld,
or else the compilation fails.
To prevent nested calls, the compiler wrapper removes the elements
of SPACK_ENV_PATH from PATH.
Sadly, the autotest framework appends a slash to each element
of PATH when adding AUTOTEST_PATH to the PATH for the tests,
and some tests like those of GNU bison run cc inside the test.
Thus, ensure that PATH cleanup works even with trailing slashes.
This fixes the autotest suite of bison, compiling hundreds of
bison-generated test cases in a autotest-generated testsuite.

This PR will add a new audit, specifically for spack package homepage urls (and eventually
other kinds I suspect) to see if there is an http address that can be changed to https.
Usage is as follows:
```bash
$ spack audit packages-https <package>
```
And in list view:
```bash
$ spack audit list
generic:
Generic checks relying on global variables
configs:
Sanity checks on compilers.yaml
Sanity checks on packages.yaml
packages:
Sanity checks on specs used in directives
packages-https:
Sanity checks on https checks of package urls, etc.
```
I think it would be unwise to include with packages, because when run for all, since we do requests it takes a long time. I also like the idea of more well scoped checks - likely there will be other addresses for http/https within a package that we eventually check. For now, there are two error cases - one is when an https url is tried but there is some SSL error (or other error that means we cannot update to https):
```bash
$ spack audit packages-https zoltan
PKG-HTTPS-DIRECTIVES: 1 issue found
1. Error with attempting https for "zoltan":
<urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Hostname mismatch, certificate is not valid for 'www.cs.sandia.gov'. (_ssl.c:1125)>
```
This is either not fixable, or could be fixed with a change to the url or (better) contacting the site owners to ask about some certificate or similar.
The second case is when there is an http that needs to be https, which is a huge issue now, but hopefully not after this spack PR.
```bash
$ spack audit packages-https xman
Package "xman" uses http but has a valid https endpoint.
```
And then when a package is fixed:
```bash
$ spack audit packages-https zlib
PKG-HTTPS-DIRECTIVES: 0 issues found.
```
And that's mostly it. :)
