PROFILE

Davis Herring

Over a two-month period, this developer focused on build systems, C++ standards, and documentation across spack/spack, spack-packages, and cplusplus/draft repositories. They delivered the Flecsi 2.3.2 release, simplifying build dependencies by removing external METIS/ParMETIS for newer versions and clarifying Kokkos/OpenMP variant handling, which improved build reliability and upgrade paths. In the cplusplus/draft repository, they refined cross-references for constant expressions, standardizing documentation and supporting contributor onboarding. Their work leveraged Python, C++, and TeX, emphasizing technical writing and package management to enhance both the stability of software releases and the clarity of technical documentation.

March 2025: Delivered the Flecsi 2.3.2 release across core repositories with a focus on stabilizing the release, reducing build complexity, and clarifying versioning. Key changes include deprecating 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 in favor of 2.3.2, removing external METIS/ParMETIS dependencies for 2.3.2+, and updating METIS/ParMETIS constraints to apply only to versions prior to 2.3.2. The work spanned spack/spack and spack-packages with coordinated changes across both repos.
