Attendees

• Peter Scheibel
• (TBD: whoever wants to discuss Spack issues)

Agenda

• (Peter) Externals cut off dependencies: https://github.com/spack/spack/issues/9149#issuecomment-1020740273
• Possible continuation from two weeks ago: vendored dependencies
  • (Andrew) nvhpc installs CUDA, so which CUDA is being used if I install nvhpc with Spack?
  • (Wileam) Should nvhpc be modularized like oneAPI? This would partially solve the embedded CUDA issue, I think
• Possible topic: Separating package repository from core
  • There are some larger changes we plan which mean we can't do this immediately
  • But we could record what is in the way and how to manage this transition
• Possible topic: new concretizer and handling of merged package repositories
