* Added support to query packages by tags.
- The querying commands `spack list`, `spack find` and `spack info` have
been modified to support querying by tags. Tests have been added to
check that the feature is working correctly under what should be the
most frequent use cases.
* Refactored Repo class to make insertion of new file caches easier.
- Added the class FastPackageChecker. This class is a Mapping from
package names to stat info, that gets memoized for faster access.
- Extracted the creation of a ProviderIndex to its own factory function.
* Added a cache file for tags.
- Following what was done for providers, a TagIndex class has been added.
This class can serialize and deserialize objects from json. Repo and
RepoPath have a new method 'packages_with_tags', that uses the TagIndex
to compute a list of package names that have all the tags passed as
arguments.
On Ubuntu 14.04 the effect if the cache reduces the time for spack list
from ~3sec. to ~0.3sec. after the cache has been built.
* Fixed colorization of `spack info`
This command broke after #5109. It was using the default value for the
"dirty" argument in `setup_package`. Now it adopts the same logic as
in `spack install`. Changed help for '--clean' and '--dirty'.
Improved coverage of spack env.
The private method `Spec._dup` was missing a line (when setting compiler
flags the parent spec was not set to `self`). This resulted in
an inconsistent state of the duplicated Spec. This problem has been
fixed here. The docstring of `Spec._dup` has been updated.
This change is done to avoid inconsistencies during refactoring. The rationale is that functions at different levels in the call stack all define a default for the 'dirty' argument. This PR removes the default value for all the functions except the top-level one (`PackageBase.do_install`).
In this way not defining 'dirty' will result in an error, instead of the default value being used. This will reduce the risk of having an inconsistent behavior after a refactoring.
* Respect --insecure when fetching list_url.
* Ensure support for Python 2.6, and that urlopen works for python versions prior 2.7.9 and between 3.0 and 3.4.3.
pkgconf is a new pkg-config implementation with additional features and
no external dependencies.

* Simplified Spec.__init__ signature by removing the *dep_like argument.
The `*dep_like` argument of `Spec.__init__` is used only for tests. This
PR removes it from the call signature and introduces an equivalent
fixture to be used in tests.
* Refactored ``spec_from_dict`` to be a static method of ``Spec``
The fixture ``spec_from_dict`` has been refactored to be a static method
of ``Spec``. Test code has been updated accordingly. Added tests for
exceptional paths.
* Renamed argument `unique` to `normal` + added LazySpecCache class
As requested in the review the argument `unique` of `Spec.from_literal`
has been renamed to `normal`. To avoid eager evaluations of
`Spec(spec_like)` expressions a subclass of `collections.defaultdict`
has been introduced.
* Spec object can be keys of the dictionary for a spec literal.
Added back the possibility use a spec directly as a key. This permits
to build DAGs that are partially normalized.
Adds a development version of boost, based on their github master
repo.
Git clones the submodules forever, but installs! :)
Useful for testing since boost tends to break complex software
dependencies quite often. This helps testing it before releases.
