File README.SUSE of Package spack

openSUSE/SUSE specific Settings =============================================

The packages build by a regular user are stored in the home directory and so
only available for this user.  When the packages should be available for all
users on a system, the user who builds the packages, must be able to write to
the global spack user directories under /usr/lib/spack/ Packages stored under
this path are available for all user via lmod.

To add a user to the group spack so that he can write to the global spack
directory, execute (as root):

 # usermod -a -G spack <user_login>

and change the setting for 'install_tree:' to the global spack directory in the
configuration '~/.spack/config.yaml' for this user.
 
 
NOTE:

As the recipes are contributed by the spack community and rely also on external
packages, a signification part of the recipes may fail to create packages.
