View the deployment at https://cache.spack.io/.
When you select a package name from the tree in the sidebar, you'll be presented with a table to compare available specs for that package.
Note: This usage guide recommends running these scripts via uv, so most commands are prefixed with
uv run. You may also elect to run these scripts with native python instead, but you will need to runpip install -e .first.
This Python script will parse data from https://binaries.spack.io/.
uv run data.py
By default, the data script will parse data for all build tags and all packages. To reduce data size, you may pass in optional arguments to filter by tag name and/or package name.
| Shorthand | Longhand | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -t | --tag | Build tag to include. Can be specified multiple times. |
| -s | --stack | Stack name to include. Can be specified multiple times. |
| -p | --package | Package name to include. Can be specified multiple times. |
After obtaining data via the data script, you can build static web pages with the build script. The build script leverages Jinja2 to load the data into a set of HTML templates and saves the populated pages to the build directory.
uv run build.py
After building the static web pages with the build script, you can serve them locally with the serve static script, which leverages the builtin python package http.server.
uv run serve_static.py --port 8000
Note: You may chose to replace 8000 with any other available port number.
When developing templates, it can be burdensome to rebuild after every change. Instead, you may launch a local development server that will reload after every change to the template files. This local development server leverages Uvicorn and FastAPI. Visit localhost:8000 in your browser to view the local development server.
uv run serve_dev.py
Note: Ensure that your browser has disabled caching of static files.
This step is optional. If you choose not to do this step, you will need to refresh the page in your browser whenever the local development server reloads.
In a separate terminal, run the proxy command. The command below will leverage Browsersync to run a proxy server on port 8080 that will automatically refresh the browser when changes are made. Visit localhost:8080 in your browser and start making changes to templates.
cd sync
npm i
npm run sync
