Participation in the venerable Spack google group has dwindled, though we still have
540+ subscribers there. I've made the mailing list announcement-only, and I've given
a few maintainers posting privileges.
This PR adds some notes to the README indicating that the mailing list is only for
announcements.
This tweaks the matrix description to indicate that it's bridged with Slack. So people
don't think they're missing out (even though the icon says there are only 3 users on
Matrix).
Modifications:
- Modify the workflow to build container images without pushing when the workflow file itself is modified
- Strip the leading ghcr.io/spack/ from env.container env.versioned to prepare pushing to multiple registries
- Fixed CentOS 7 and Amazon Linux builds
- Login and push to Docker Hub as well as Github Action
- Add a badge to README.md with the status of docker images
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:
- Remove the "build tests" workflow from GitHub Actions
- Setup a similar e2e test on Gitlab
In this way we'll reduce load on GitHub Actions workflows and for e2e tests will
benefit from the buildcache reuse granted by pipelines.
* unit tests: mark slow tests as "maybeslow"
This commit also removes the "network" marker and
marks every "network" test as "maybeslow". Tests
marked as db are maintained, but they're not slow
anymore.
* GA: require style tests to pass before running unit-tests
* GA: make MacOS unit tests fail fast
* GA: move all unit tests into the same workflow, run style tests as a prerequisite
All the unit tests have been moved into the same workflow so that a single
run of the dorny/paths-filter action can be used to ask for coverage based
on the files that have been changed in a PR. The basic idea is that for PRs
that introduce only changes to packages coverage is not necessary, this
resulting in a faster execution of the tests.
Also, for package only PRs slow unit tests are skipped.
Finally, MacOS and linux unit tests are now conditional on style tests passing
meaning that e.g. we won't waste a MacOS worker if we know that the PR has
flake8 issues.
* Addressed review comments
* Skipping slow tests on MacOS for package only recipes
* QA: make tests on changes correct before merging
* Run Python2.6 unit tests on Github Actions
* Skip url tests on Python 2.6 to reduce waiting times
* Skip foreground background tests on Python 2.6 to reduce waiting times
* Removed references to Travis in the documentation
* Deleted install_patchelf.sh (can be installed from repo on CentOS 6)
We got rid of `master` after #17377, but users still want a way to get
the latest stable release without knowing its number.
We've added a `releases/latest` tag to replace what was once `master`.

- [x] Remove references to `master` branch
- [x] Document how release branches are structured
- [x] Document how to make a major release
- [x] Document how to make a point release
- [x] Document how to do work in our release projects
* Added unit tests to Github Actions
* Set user e-mail and name for git tests to succeed
* Simplify setup.sh logic
* Replicate Travis script on Github Actions
* Update flags since '.' is not allowed
* Added badge, simplified workflow
* Remove pinning of coverage
* Remove unit tests run on Github Actions from Travis
The release number in the README had not been updated since we did the
relicense to Apache-2.0 OR MIT in v0.12.0. LLNL-CODE-811652 is Spack's
new LLNL release number.
I usually want to look at the Travis CI output, but I currently have to
scroll down to see it. This renames checks to be a bit shorter and more
consistent with Travis's naming, and also so that actions appear lower
than travis and codecov in the list of checks.
This PR moves build smoke tests from TravisCI and migrates them to Github Actions. The result is that build tests are performed in parallel with unit tests and they don't hog additional resources on Travis. The workflow will not run if a PR only changes packages in the built-in repository, but will always run on pushes to develop or master.
* Removed build tests from Travis and passed them to Github Actions
* Store ~/.ccache in Github Actions cache
* Add filters on paths and make sure this workflow don't run
* Use paths-ignore and exclude only files in the built-in repo
* Added a badge to README.md
- This isn't one of those autogenerated SVGs from a drawing program!
- This is a completely re-traced, minimalist SVG file with clearly
delineated pieces so that your favorite renderer can draw a Spack logo
at whatever resolution you want.
- Included versions with text, as well.
