This adds a `SetupContext` class which is responsible for setting package.py module globals, and computing the changes to environment variables for the build, test or run context. The class uses `effective_deptypes` which takes a list of specs (e.g. single item of a spec to build, or a list of environment roots) and a context (build, run, test), and outputs a flat list of specs that affect the environment together with a flag in what way they do so. This list is topologically ordered from root to leaf, so that one can be assured that dependents override variables set by dependencies, not the other way around. This is used to replace the logic in `modifications_from_dependencies`, which has several issues: missing calls to `setup_run_environment`, and the order in which operations are applied. Further, it should improve performance a bit in certain cases, since `effective_deptypes` run in O(v + e) time, whereas `spack env activate` currently can take up to O(v^2 + e) time due to loops over roots. Each edge in the DAG is visited once by calling `effective_deptypes` with `env.concrete_roots()`. By marking and propagating flags through the DAG, this commit also fixes a bug where Spack wouldn't call `setup_run_environment` for runtime dependencies of link dependencies. And this PR ensures that Spack correctly sets up the runtime environment of direct build dependencies. Regarding test dependencies: in a build context they are are build-time test deps, whereas in a test context they are install-time test deps. Since there are no means to distinguish the build/install type test deps, they're both. Further changes: - all `package.py` module globals are guaranteed to be set before any of the `setup_(dependent)_(run|build)_env` functions is called - traversal order during setup: first the group of externals, then the group of non-externals, with specs in each group traversed topological (dependencies are setup before dependents) - modules: only ever call `setup_dependent_run_environment` of *direct* link/run type deps - the marker in `set_module_variables_for_package` is dropped, since we should call the method once per spec. This allows us to set only a cheap subset of globals on the module: for example it's not necessary to compute the expensive `cmake_args` and w/e if the spec under consideration is not the root node to be built. - `spack load`'s `--only` is deprecated (it has no effect now), and `spack load x` now means: do everything that's required for `x` to work at runtime, which requires runtime deps to be setup -- just like `spack env activate`. - `spack load` no longer loads build deps (of build deps) ... - `spack env activate` on partially installed or broken environments: this is all or nothing now. If some spec errors during setup of its runtime env, you'll only get the unconditional variables + a warning that says the runtime changes for specs couldn't be applied. - Remove traversal in upward direction from `setup_dependent_*` in packages. Upward traversal may iterate to specs that aren't children of the roots (e.g. zlib / python have hundreds of dependents, only a small fraction is reachable from the roots. Packages should only modify the direct dependent they receive as an argument) |

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 -c feature.manyFiles=true 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
.
For a cheat sheet on Spack syntax, run spack help --spec
.
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.
Community
Spack is an open source project. Questions, discussion, and contributions are welcome. Contributions can be anything from new packages to bugfixes, documentation, or even new core features.
Resources:
- Slack workspace: spackpm.slack.com. To get an invitation, visit slack.spack.io.
- Matrix space: #spack-space:matrix.org: bridged to Slack.
- Github Discussions: not just for discussions, also Q&A.
- Mailing list: groups.google.com/d/forum/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 our CI process. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.
Spack's develop
branch has the latest contributions. Pull requests
should target develop
, and users who want the latest package versions,
features, etc. can use develop
.
Releases
For multi-user site deployments or other use cases that need very stable software installations, we recommend using Spack's stable releases.
Each Spack release series also has a corresponding branch, e.g.
releases/v0.14
has 0.14.x
versions of Spack, and releases/v0.13
has
0.13.x
versions. We backport important bug fixes to these branches but
we do not advance the package versions or make other changes that would
change the way Spack concretizes dependencies within a release branch.
So, you can base your Spack deployment on a release branch and git pull
to get fixes, without the package churn that comes with develop
.
The latest release is always available with the releases/latest
tag.
See the docs on releases for more details.
