| tpw_rules | * how does it constrain things? version numbers? i assume that's what "version picking" means | 16:58:55 |
 tnias | you can provide constrains like what packages you are interested in and (optionally) their version numbers, compiler flags, etc.
then there is a sat solver (they call it concretizer) that provides a solution to the constrains. This solution is saved as a *.lock file. From a lock file you can reproduce the environment.
packages can also provide their own constraints. as in: "version x of this package needs gcc >= 9"

| fzakaria | Spack is like Nix; it's different than debian since it can also do source base compilation | 22:00:47 |
