Dear all, I am currently working with dealii version 9.1.1 and would like to install the latest version because I need access to the new element formulations. I cloned the spack repository and installed dealii via 'spack install dealii' and did all necessary instructions imposed by the dealii wiki entry on spack. However, I could not figure out from there how to install a newer version, for instance 9.3.3.
In my local working copy of the spack repository, I only have one master branch so far. I guess I first to need to upgrade spack somehow, in order to be able to install newer versions of a package, since 'spack info dealii' only shows me versions up to 9.1.1, i.e. the one which I currently have installed. 1. So, should I first create a new branch in my local spack repo and then type 'git fetch origin' in order to bring spack up to date? I would like to keep version 9.1.1 as well, so I am a bit afraid of overwriting existing packages if I do everything on the master branch. Is this a valid approach at all or am I on the wrong track? 2. Is special care necessary, if a second version of dealii will be installed? As far as I know, spack is able to work with several versions of a package. However, I do not know how a second version of dealii affects all it's dependencies, for instance. UMFPACK. Will there newer versions installed 'on-the-fly' as well, for the case they exist,...? My lack of experience with spack makes me a bit careful to simple try things out, so I would appreciate to get some guidance how to accomplish this.
