Currently, environments can either be concretized fully together or fully separately. This works well for users who create environments for interoperable software and can use `concretizer:unify:true`. It does not allow environments with conflicting software to be concretized for maximal interoperability. The primary use-case for this is facilities providing system software. Facilities provide multiple MPI implementations, but all software built against a given MPI ought to be interoperable. This PR adds a concretization option `concretizer:unify:when_possible`. When this option is used, Spack will concretize specs in the environment separately, but will optimize for minimal differences in overlapping packages. * Add a level of indirection to root specs This commit introduce the "literal" atom, which comes with a few different "arities". The unary "literal" contains an integer that id the ID of a spec literal. Other "literals" contain information on the requests made by literal ID. For instance zlib@1.2.11 generates the following facts: literal(0,"root","zlib"). literal(0,"node","zlib"). literal(0,"node_version_satisfies","zlib","1.2.11"). This should help with solving large environments "together where possible" since later literals can be now solved together in batches. * Add a mechanism to relax the number of literals being solved * Modify spack solve to display the new criteria Since the new criteria is above all the build criteria, we need to modify the way we display the output. Originally done by Greg in #27964 and cherry-picked to this branch by the co-author of the commit. Co-authored-by: Massimiliano Culpo <massimiliano.culpo@gmail.com> * Inject reusable specs into the solve Instead of coupling the PyclingoDriver() object with spack.config, inject the concrete specs that can be reused. A method level function takes care of reading from the store and the buildcache. * spack solve: show output of multi-rounds * add tests for best-effort coconcretization * Enforce having at least a literal being solved Co-authored-by: Greg Becker <becker33@llnl.gov> |

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.
- Mailing list: groups.google.com/d/forum/spack
- Twitter: @spackpm. Be sure to
@mentionus!
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.
