Jul 1, 2025

July 2025 monthly summary for lanl/singularity-eos. Key features delivered include Spack packaging modernization with API 2.2 migration and repository restructuring, plus CI automation improvements to correctly handle v1 vs v2 packaging in the spack-repo. Major bugs fixed include explicit C compiler dependency for spiner build to ensure reliable toolchain resolution. Overall impact: more robust and reproducible packaging and CI pipelines, reducing build failures and accelerating adoption of new packaging standards. Technologies demonstrated: Spack packaging, Package API 2.2, GitHub Actions CI, dependency management, and build-system integration. Business value: fewer build failures, faster packaging cycles, easier maintenance, and a clearer upgrade path to Spack API 2.2.
