Anton Steketee worked on the ACCESS-NRI/spack-packages repository, focusing on build configuration and package management for climate model components. Over two months, Anton established stable branches and version tags for packages such as CICE, MOM6, and WW3, aligning the OM3 model release and improving build reproducibility. Using Python and YAML, Anton updated Spack manifests and build systems to reference current component versions, ensuring reliable, repeatable environments for downstream users. The work emphasized dependency management and version control, reducing integration risk and build failures. Anton’s contributions provided depth in stabilizing the build pipeline and enhancing compatibility across collaborative workflows.

January 2026 monthly summary for ACCESS-NRI/spack-packages: Delivered two key features to enhance build reliability and compatibility: Access-ESM1.6 Spack manifest updated for master-branch builds, and CICE5 package upgraded to version 2026.01.000 with updated build configurations and dependencies. No critical bug fixes recorded this month; focus was on stabilizing the build pipeline, improving reproducibility, and readiness for downstream deployment.
