- module avail spelled out fully
- typos from @adamjstewart
- rewording of a few sentences
* module file tutorial : first batch of corrections
- emphasized lines in yaml files
* module file tutorial : fixes according to @citibeth and @adamjstewart reviews
- used long format for command options
- reworded unclear sentence on tokes
- reworked table in reference manual to make it clearer
* module file tutorial : implemented corrections collected on site from @schlyfts
* module file tutorial : removed comment (@hartzell suggestion)
* Add options for hashes, tree depth, and YAML to `spack spec`.
- Can now display hashes with `spack spec`, like `spack find`.
- Removed the old "ids" argument to `spack spec` (which
printed numerical values)b
- Can output YAML spec from `spack spec` with `-y`
- Can control depth of DAG traversal with --cover=[nodes|edges|paths]
- Can print install status (installed, missing, not installed) with -I
* Don't use YAML aliases in specs.
- Force Spack's YAML dumper to ignore aliases.
- aliases cause non-canonical YAML to be used in DAG hash, and result in
redundant hashes.
- add a test to ensure this behavior stays
* spack install: forward sys.stdin to child processes fixes#2140
- [ ] redirection process is spawned in __enter__ instead of __init__
- [ ] sys.stdin is forwarded to child processes
* log: wrapped __init__ definition
1) list gfortran as a fc and f77 compiler that can work with clang
2) allow compatible gfortran to ./spack compiler find with clang by matching version numbers
This is based on the discussions in
https://github.com/LLNL/spack/issues/237https://github.com/dealii/dealii/wiki/deal.II-in-Spack#mixing-gcc-and-clang-on-osx
This is not a long term solution but something to get us through the next months until the compiler
infrastructure is reworked to allow mixing and matching for C/C++ and Fortran compilers

- Detailed debug information is now handed back to the parent process
from builds, for *any* type of exception.
- previously this only worked for Spack ProcessErrors, but now it works
for any type of error raised in a child.
- Spack will print an error message and source code context for build
errors by default.
- It will print a stack trace when using `spack -d`, even when the error
occurred in the child process.
- Ported old run-flake8-tests qa script to `spack flake8` command.
- New command does not modify files in the source tree
- Copies files to a temp stage modifies them there, and runs tests.
- Updated docs and `run-flake8-tests` script to call `spack flake8`.
- generalized and fixed to work with any key in YAML file
- simplified schema writing, as well
- add more unit tests for the config system
- Rename test/yaml.py to test/spack_yaml.py
- Add test/yaml.pyc to ignored pyc files.
- Added a schema for config.yaml
- Moved install tree configuration to config.yaml
- Moved etc/spack/install.yaml to etc/spack/defaults/config.yaml
- renamed install_area to "store", to use a term in common with guix/nix.
- in `config.yaml` file, it's called the `install_tree` to be more
intuitive to users.
- `install_tree` might've worked in the code, but `install_tree` is
already a global function in the spack namespace, from
llnl.util.filesystem.
Merge #2030 added a cyclic dependency between the Cray platform needing
to read a `targets.yaml` config file and `config.py` needing to get the
platform names.
This commit removes the cyclic dependency in favor of the more general
config scheme. It also removes the now functionless `targets.yaml`
config file. This breaks 'frontend' targets on the Cray platform but
all architecture targets, including the frontend, that are provided by
CrayPE are added to the Platform anyway so users can be explicit about
the architecture targeted by the Cray compiler wrappers:
```
spack spec libelf arch=cray-CNL-frontend
```
becomes
```
spack spec libelf arch=cray-CNL-mc8 # on an XK7 or
spack spec libelf arch=cray-CNL-sandybridge # on an older XC30, etc..
```
The only way the 'frontend' target can be defined after this commit is
through target environment variables.
On MacOS, brew installs /usr/local/bin/python but the Python prefix is not /usr/local/bin
Use the python command sys.exec to get the correct directory, instead of the ad hoc self.prefix
previously used
This was a bear to debug; been driving me nuts since I started using spack.
Since spack passes PYTHONHOME down to package builds in the environment
it was passing PYTHONHOME of /usr/local/bin to the PETSc build that uses Python so
the PETSc Python ./configure errored immediately with
ImportError: No module named site
since python could find no python modules. Todd Gamblin pointed out that my first try to fix
this was wrong since it assumed the spack python was the same python used to run spack. Elizabeth Fischer
suggested how to get it to work also with python3

* module file support: major rework of docs
* module file support: fixed issues found by @adamjstewart
- list or enumeration should not be indented
- use console instead of bash or csh in things that are not scripts
- other typos
* module file support: fixed other issues found by @adamjstewart
- tables should not be indented
- substitute lines with pyobject to import an entire function
- get help output running commands
- typos
* module file support: fixes according to review comments
- @citibeth moved `spack module loads` after `spack load`
- @glennpj tried to clarify installation table + changes to language
- @tgamblin Removed top level section and moved the whole thing into the reference manual
* module file support: moved directive before spack module loads
External packages do not have an spec.yaml file so don't check for it.
Without this change any time a package depends on an external package
when the new package is installed you will get the error
Install prefix exists but contains no spec.yaml
This problem has also haunted me since I started using Spack since PETSc
depends on Python and I used an external python but fortunately it
was relatively easy to debug once I could reproduce it at will.

This replaces a custom token-based substitution format with calls to
Spec.format in modules.py
This also resolves a couple issues:
- LmodModules set configuration globally instead of in its initializer
which meant test-specific configuration was not applied
- Added support for setting hash_length=0 for LmodModules. This only
affects the module filename and not the directory names for the
hierarchy tokens in the path. This includes an additional unit test.
