Compare Package Commits

lib/scripts/diffPackageCommits.py

Compare a commit of a Spack package in Benchpark/repo with the package upstreamed to Spack. If the comparison of the package.py in benchpark/repo/ is identical to the package.py in spack/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/, package.py in benchpark/repo/ can be safely deleted without changing how the benchmark is built; this scenario occurs if package.py has been upstreamed to Spack. This script runs in the benchpark CI and will fail if a package should be deleted in benchpark.

Example: amg2023 and raja-perf

In this example, we made benchpark/repo/amg2023/package.py the same as the spack amg2023/package.py and equivalently benchpark/repo/raja-perf/package.py the same as spack raja-perf/package.py.

$ benchpark-python diffPackageCommits.py --packages amg2023 raja-perf
