* espressopp: package for the ESPResSo++ software This commit adds a package for the ESPResSo++ simulation software. * Move Espressopp package to CMakePackage This commit moves Espressopp package to CMakePackage. Addresses some comments in the PR. * Remove run_tests and changed type of dependencies Addressed some comments from @adamjstewart. Removed global run_tests setting and removed type from many dependencies. Set type for py-mpi4py to 'nolink'. * Updated to last version and fix mpi4py dependency Added latest espressopp version and changed mpi4py (version) dependency for different espressopp versions. * Changed mpi4py version requirements for espressopp Changed py-mpi4py version requirements for espressopp@1.9.4 according to the package build requirements for that version. |

Spack is a package management tool designed to support multiple versions and configurations of software on a wide variety of platforms and environments. It was designed for large supercomputing centers, where many users and application teams share common installations of software on clusters with exotic architectures, using libraries that do not have a standard ABI. Spack is non-destructive: installing a new version does not break existing installations, so many configurations can coexist on the same system.
Most importantly, Spack is simple. It offers a simple spec syntax so that users can specify versions and configuration options concisely. Spack is also simple for package authors: package files are written in pure Python, and specs allow package authors to write a single build script for many different builds of the same package.
See the Feature Overview for examples and highlights.
To install spack and install your first package:
$ git clone https://github.com/llnl/spack.git
$ cd spack/bin
$ ./spack install libelf
