News

1. Spack v0.10 release still scheduled for end of December

• See project page
• any questions?

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.
