## Description:
This update for spack fixes the following issues:
spack was updated from version 0.21.3 to 0.23.0:
* Improved documentation generation (bsc#1235144)
* Version v0.23.0:
* New features:
* Spec splicing
* Broader variant propagation
* Ability to query specs by namespace
* `spack spec` now respects environment settings and `unify:true`
* Improved and polished `spack spec` and `spack find -c` output
* The command `spack -C <env>` allows to use an environment's configuration without activation
* New commands, options, and directives:
* The new `spack env track` command takes a non-managed Spack environment and adds a symlink to Spack's `$environments_root` directory.
* Added `-t` short option for `spack --backtrace` to output backtrace errors
* `gc` now allows to garbage-collect specific packages through the command line
* `oci buildcaches` now supports the option `--only=package`
* Highlighted bugfixes:
* Externals no longer override the preferred provider
* Composable `cflags`
* Fixed concretizer Unification for included environments
* Deprecations, removals, and syntax changes:
* The old concretizer has been removed from Spack, along with the `config:concretizer` config option
* Best-effort expansion of spec matrices has been removed
* The old Cray `platform` (based on Cray PE modules) has been removed, and `platform=cray` is no longer supported
* The `config:install_missing_compilers` config option has beendeprecated
* Config options that deprecated in `v0.21` have been removed
* Spack's old test interface has been removed
* The `spack versions --safe-only` option, deprecated since `v0.21.0`, has been removed
* The `--dependencies` and `--optimize` arguments to `spack ci` have been deprecated
* Version 0.22.2:
* Bugs fixed:
* Bumped vendored `archspec` for better aarch64 support
* Fixed regression in `{variants.X}` and `{variants.X.value}` format strings
* Ensure shell escaping of environment variable values in load and activate commands
* Fixed an issue where `spec[pkg]` considers specs outside the current DAG
* Do not halt concretization on unknown variants in externals
* Improved validation of `develop` config section/
* Explicitly disable `ccache` if turned off in config, to avoid cache pollution
* Improved backwards compatibility in `include_concrete`
* Fixed issue where package tags were sometimes repeated
* Make `setup-env.sh` "sourced only" by dropping execution bits
* Make certain source/binary fetch errors recoverable instead of a hard error
* Do not initialize previous store state in `use_store`
* Update to 0.22.1.
* Bugs fixed:
* Fix reuse of externals on Linux
* Ensure parent gcc-runtime version >= child
* Ensure the latest gcc-runtime is rpath'ed when multiple exist among link deps
* Improve version detection of glibc
* Improve heuristics for solver
* Make strong preferences override reuse
* Reduce verbosity when C compiler is missing
* Make missing ccache executable an error when required
* Make every environment view containing `python` a `venv`
* Fix external detection for compilers with os but no target.
* Fix version optimization for roots.
* Handle common implementations of pagination of tags in OCI build caches.
* Apply fetched patches to develop specs
* Avoid Windows wrappers for filesystem utilities on non-Windows
* Fix formatting issue in `spack audit`
* Other changes:
* Give 'site' scope a lower precedence than 'system' scope
* Version 0.22.0:
* New features:
* Compiler dependencies are moving from `compilers.yaml` to `packages.yaml`
* Improved spack find UI for Environments
* Improved command-line string quoting
* Revert default spack install behavior to `--reuse`
* The `install` command now offers three options
* More control over reused specs
* New `conflict:` and `prefer:` syntax for package preferences
* `include_concrete` in environments
* `python-venv` isolation
* Packages can now specify whether they may be distributed in source or binary form
* Removals, deprecations, and syntax changes:
* Removed `dpcpp` compiler and package
* `spack load`: removed `--only` argument
* Bugs fixed:
* repo.py: drop deleted packages from provider cache
* Allow `+` in module file names
* `cmd/python`: use runpy to allow multiprocessing in scripts
* Show extension commands with `spack -h`
* Support environment variable expansion inside module projections
* Alert user to failed concretizations
* `shell`: fix `zsh` color formatting for PS1 in environments
* `spack mirror create --all`: include patches
