During August 2025, Daniel Kuehn upgraded the CASTEP package in the spack/spack-packages repository, focusing on modernizing its build system. He migrated the package from Makefiles to CMake, introducing new build variants and dependencies to support the updated workflow and ensure compatibility with newer compiler toolchains. This work leveraged his expertise in C, Fortran, and build systems, and was consolidated into a single, well-scoped commit. The modernization improved maintainability, reproducibility, and CI integration for the package, while isolating changes to CASTEP and avoiding regressions. No critical bugs were reported, reflecting a careful and thorough engineering approach.
