- updated to version 0.19.0 with follwoinig changes:
* Spack's traditional package preferences are soft, but we've added hard
requriements to packages.yaml and spack.yaml
* spack install in an environment will no longer add to the specs: list; you'll
need to either use spack add <spec> or spack install --add <spec>.
* spack uninstall will not remove from your environment's specs:
list; you'll need to use spack remove or spack uninstall --remove.
* concretizer:unify:true is now the default mode for new environments
* include environment configuration from URLs
* An increasing number of packages in the ecosystem need the ability to
support multiple build systems
* package ++variant:
enabled variant that will be propagated to dependencies
* git. prefix to specify git tags or branches as versions. All of these are
valid git versions in
* spack ci generate --tests will generate a .gitlab-ci.yml file that not only
does builds but also runs tests for built packages
* spack test run --explicit will only run tests for packages that are
explicitly installed, instead of all packages.
* You can add a new shared_linking option to config.yaml to make Spack embed absolute paths
to needed shared libraries in ELF executables and shared libraries on Linux
* spack spec prints dependencies more legibly. Dependencies in the output now
appear at the earliest level of indentation possible (#33406)
* You can override package.py attributes like url, directly in packages.yaml
* There are a number of new architecture-related format strings you can use
in Spack configuration files to specify paths
- Improvement from v0.18.0
* spack install --reuse was introduced in v0.17.0, and --reuse is now the
default concretization mode. Spack will try hard to resolve dependencies
using installed packages or binaries

- Fix: Fix-error-during-documentation-build-due-to-recursive-module-inclusion.patch
This is needed to prevent an AttributeError during
'import spack.environment as some_name'
when building Sphinx documentation - due to an outdated
Python on SLE.
The original version caused errors:
'NameError: name 'uenv' is not defined'
when using 'spack env activate' et.al. (bsc#1198212). (forwarded request 967985 from eeich)

- updated to version 0.17.0
(Upstream feature/bug references (<ID>) are relative to
https://github.com/spack/spack/issues/<ID>).
* New concretizer is now default
The new concretizer introduced as an experimental feature in v0.16.0
is now the default (#25502). The new concretizer is based on the
clingo logic programming system,
and it enables us to do much higher quality and faster dependency solving
The old concretizer is still available via the concretizer: original
setting, but it is deprecated and will be removed in v0.18.0.
* Binary Bootstrapping
To make it easier to use the new concretizer and binary packages,
Spack now bootstraps clingo and GnuPG from public binaries. If it
is not able to bootstrap them from binaries, it installs them from
source code. With these changes, you should still be able to clone Spack
and start using it almost immediately.
* Reuse existing packages (experimental)
The most wanted feature from our
2020 user survey and
the most wanted Spack feature of all time (#25310). spack install,
spack spec, and spack concretize now have a --reuse option, which
causes Spack to minimize the number of rebuilds it does. The --reuse
option will try to find existing installations and binary packages locally
and in registered mirrors, and will prefer to use them over building new
versions. This will allow users to build from source far less than in
prior versions of Spack. This feature will continue to be improved, with
configuration options and better CLI expected in v0.17.1. It will become
the default concretization mode in v0.18.0.
* Better error messages
We have improved the error messages generated by the new concretizer by
