per-environment variants
bcumming opened this issue · comments
Add support for setting a variant that will be applied to every package in an environment, e.g. to set the cuda arch or +mpi.
# example environments.yaml
my-gpu-mpi-env:
compiler:
- toolchain: gcc
spec: gcc@11
specs:
- hdf5
- osu-micro-benchmarks +cuda
mpi:
spec: cray-mpich-binary
gpu: None
unify: true
variants:
- +mpi
- cuda_arch=80
The generated spack.yaml
for the environment would contain:
packages:
all:
variants:
- cuda_arch=80
- +mpi
The result would be hdf5 being built with mpi support and the osu benchmarks with support for A100.
