- One file with all the module classes (spack/modules.py)
- Has an EnvModule superclass that does most of the work and consolidates common code
- Subclasses have specializations for different module systems (TclModule, Dotkit)
- One command (spack module) for all the types of modules to use
- the one command is used by the scripts, only need to maintain in one place
- has some subcommands for different module types, but they're handled mostly generically.
- Consolidate zsh support into a single setup-env.sh script.
- TAU doesn't install to directories with '@' in the name.
- Need to fix up its scripts.
- routines to filter files as sed would, but using python regular expressions.
- TAU package uses this.
- Packages now live in <package_name>/package.py
- spack.packages refactored to use a PackageDB object instead of
monolithic module.
- Implementation of mock_packages_test.py is greatly simplified
- Added test to exercise install/uninstall code because that wasn't
covered by existing tests and kept breaking.
You can now do this:
class MyPackage(Package):
def install(self):
...default install...
@platform('bgqos_0')
def install(self):
...specialized install for bgq...
This works on functions other than install, as well (as long as they're in a Package)
