Build with Spack?

[lee218llnl]

Just a suggestion since I had a lot of trouble getting arcsim and all the dependencies to build, but would it be possible to package this up so it installs with spack (https://spack.io). If done properly, this will allow users to build without sudo privileges, as al the dependencies can be specified and spack will build them too. As is, I had to install my own scons, since our system's version was too old, install my own atlas from source, and manually unpack blas/lapack libraries from rpms.

Hi!
Thanks for raising the issue. At the moment, I and (afaik) others who work with this repository have not tried to use Spack and I personally didn't know about it. It looks like an interesting piece of software that could potentially make the packaging and distribution way easier. However, at the moment I don't have much spare time since I am working on other projects, unrelated to Arcsim.
@lee218llnl would you or someone you know like to become a contributor to the repository by implementing this feature? 😄

sorry, I don't have time to devote to this. You may close this if you like, or keep it open in hopes that you or someone else will be able to package arcsim in spack in the future.
