Target Users of spack-c2sm
=============================

Researchers from C2SM-community
--------------------------------
These users generally have little knowledge about programming or packaging.
They want spack-c2sm to compile their code in a oneliner. No modifications
in recipes or the model/libraries they use.

BuildBot as part of the ICON-consortium CI
---------------------------------------------
The CI running at CSCS is using spack-c2sm to build ICON.
The main focus here is on reliability and reproducability. We do not want any
inconsistencies to be introduced by spack-c2sm. Therefore a strict versioning
policy is in place there. Only a specific version of spack-c2sm is guaranteed to work in BuildBot.
Also all recipes used for ICON builds need to have
predefined versions. Defining a spack version of a package simply as a branch is a no-go.

Sofware Engineers
-------------------
Software experts belong to this user-group. They are able to add new recipes or edit existing ones.
Experiment with new setups and ways to build software.

Maintainers of spack-c2sm
-------------------------
Staff from C2SM core-team and MeteoSwiss maintain spack-c2sm. They install upstream instances providing pre-built
libraries or manage integration of spack-c2sm in ICON etc. Also upgrade spack to newer versions
or extend it to new system like Vial or Balfrin.
**Main point of contact for all other users!**

Why was Spack chosen by MeteoSwiss?
