fixes #12915 closes #12916 Since Spack has support for specific targets it might happen that software is built for targets that are not exactly the host because it was either an explicit user request or the compiler being used is too old to support the host. Modules for different targets are written into different directories and by default Spack was adding to MODULEPATH only the directory corresponding to the current host. This PR modifies this behavior to add all the directories that are **compatible** with the current host. |

Spack
Spack is a multi-platform package manager that builds and installs multiple versions and configurations of software. It works on Linux, macOS, and many supercomputers. Spack is non-destructive: installing a new version of a package does not break existing installations, so many configurations of the same package can coexist.
Spack offers a simple "spec" syntax that allows users to specify versions and configuration options. Package files are written in pure Python, and specs allow package authors to write a single script for many different builds of the same package. With Spack, you can build your software all the ways you want to.
See the Feature Overview for examples and highlights.
To install spack and your first package, make sure you have Python. Then:
$ git clone https://github.com/spack/spack.git
$ cd spack/bin
$ ./spack install zlib
Documentation
Full documentation is available, or
run spack help or spack help --all.
Tutorial
We maintain a hands-on tutorial. It covers basic to advanced usage, packaging, developer features, and large HPC deployments. You can do all of the exercises on your own laptop using a Docker container.
Feel free to use these materials to teach users at your organization about Spack.

Contributing
Contributing to Spack is relatively easy. Just send us a
pull request.
When you send your request, make develop the destination branch on the
Spack repository.
Your PR must pass Spack's unit tests and documentation tests, and must be PEP 8 compliant. We enforce these guidelines with Travis CI. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.
Spack uses a rough approximation of the
Git Flow
branching model. The develop branch contains the latest
contributions, and master is always tagged and points to the latest
stable release.
