Spack

Introduction

Spack is a multi-package setup and build system. It replaces UPS and MRB (Multi-Repo Build) and related packages. The computing division will work to build and provide their software (art, ifdhc) within spack. Mu2e will probably not use the spack build features, but will have to use spack to access pre-built software, instead of ups setup command.

Usage

source /cvmfs/mu2e.opensciencegrid.org/setupmu2e-art.sh
source /cvmfs/fermilab.opensciencegrid.org/packages/common/spack/rollout/NULL/share/spack/setup-env.sh

defines

SPACK_ROOT=/cvmfs/fermilab.opensciencegrid.org/packages/common/spack/rollout/NULL
MODULEPATH=$SPACK_ROOT/share/spack/modules/linux-scientific7-x86_64
DK_NODE=$SPACK_ROOT/share/spack/dotkit/linux-scientific7-x86_64
PATH= ... /cvmfs/fermilab.opensciencegrid.org/packages/common/spack/rollout/NULL/bin

and some useful commands

spack -h
spack find -
spack find

You can see the common lab packages are available in spack: ifdhc, jobsub_client, sam_web_client.
