News

  1. Spack v0.10 release still scheduled for end of December
  1. Concretizer needs some work; this is planned for v1.0:
  • There isn't enough backtracking in the solver for conflicting variants (see #2590)
  • We are going to be doing build dependencies slightly differently for v1.0 (see #2548)
    • concretize build deps for the front-end platform / default compiler
    • avoid building things like cmake with "weird" compilers when it's not needed
    • make sure build deps are built entirely for the front-end on platforms that need it

  1. Plan:

  2. Get the last few bugs out the door for 0.10

  3. Getting a CDash site set up with a reasonably comprehensive set of package builds so that we can see what works and what does not. Right now we are playing whack-a-mole with github issues and we need a dashboard so we can make the thing converge to green.

  4. Get the concretizer fixes in for 1.0 in the Jan-Feb timeframe.

  5. Testing status

  • We're working on CDash setup concurrently with v1.0
  • Waiting for LLNL approval to set up CDash site for public use (sigh)
  • Massimiliano has converted nose tests to pytest
    • pytest seems a lot nicer
    • fixtures seem much better than the mockup we were doing
  1. Lowercase package names (#2475)
  • going to standardize on lowercase
  • had to put in some fixes for Mac OS X to properly check out git repos with case changes (#2562)
  1. Check out Mario's command to automatically add external packages #2507 (WIP)
  • spack external add <package name> <path>
  • Feedback would be great
  1. compilers.yaml now distinguishes compiler by OS and target.
  • ppc64le Linux has same OS as x86_64 Linux, but different targets.
  • spack wasn't differentiating well on LLNL's shared filesystem.
  1. Anything else?
