Like `spack change` for specs in environments, this can e.g. replace `examplespec+debug` with `examplespec~debug` in a `require:` section.
Example behavior for a config like:
```
packages:
foo:
require:
- spec: +debug
```
* `spack config change packages:foo:require:~debug` replaces `+debug` with `~debug`
* `spack config change packages:foo:require:@1.1` adds a requirement to the list
* `spack config change packages:bar:require:~debug` adds a requirement
As observed in #40944, when using `spack config add <path>`, the `path` might
contain keys that are enclosed in quotes.
This was broken in https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/39831, which assumed that
only the value (if present, the final element of the path) would use quotes.
This preserves the primary intended behavior of #39931 (allowing ":" in values when
using `spack config add`) while also allowing quotes on keys.
This has complicated the function `process_config_path`, but:
* It is not used outside of `config.py`
* The docstring has been updated to account for this
* Created an object to formalize the DSL, added a test for that, and
refactored parsing to make use of regular expressions as well.
* Updated the parsing and also updated the `config_path_dsl` test with an explicit check.
At a higher level, split the parsing to check if something is either a key or not:
* in the first case, it is covered by a regex
* in the second, it may be a YAML value, but in that case it would have to be the last
entry of x:y:z, so in that case I attempt to use the YAML handling logic to parse it as such
- Use MakefilePackage and simplified package.py
- Deprecate old versions - they did not build for me with OCaml 4.13.1
that is currently in Spack. Also, the changes from the previous
versions seem to be quite significant.
Spack packages may not have a public download option, and can implement
`download_instr` to inform users how to obtain the artifacts needed to
build. `spack checksum` however did not account for this and would print
out a confusing error message when invoked on such packages ("Could not
find any remote versions").
This PR updates the error message to output the manual download instructions
if `spack checksum` is invoked on a package with `manual_download = True`.
Currently when you repeatedly create a bootstrap mirror that includes
`clingo-bootstrap@spack` you get different tarballs every time.
This is a general problem with mirroring checkouts from version control
as tarballs. I think it's best to create tarballs ourselves, since that way we
have more control over its contents.
This PR ensures normalized tarballs like we do for build caches:
- normalize file permissions (in fact that was already inspired by git, so
should be good)
- normalized file creation/modification time (timestamp 0)
- uid / guid = 0, no usernames
- normalized gzip header
- dir entries are ordered by `(is_dir, name)` where strings are not locale aware ;)
- POSIX says st_mode of symlinks is unspecified, so work around it and
force mode to `0o755`
R embeds an absolute path to the `which` executable in the sources for
`Sys.which`. This gets ultimately stored as serialized byte code in some
custom database format, which uses compression for entries.
As a result, Spack cannot relocate `<prefix which>/bin/which` when
installing from a build cache.
The patch works around this by making R create a symlink to `which` in
its own prefix, have the R sources call that, so that relocation works
again.

Explicitly requested namespaces are annotated during
the setup phase, and used to retrieve the correct package
class.
An attribute for the namespace has been added for each node.
Currently, a single namespace per package is allowed
during concretization.
