Usage Instructions

access-issm, defined in ./spack.yaml, will be deployed to Gadi as:

• 2025.11.0 as a Release (when merged).
• pr34-4 as a Prerelease (during this PR).

This Prerelease is accessible on Gadi using:

module use /g/data/vk83/prerelease/modules
module load access-issm/pr34-4

When using the above modules, the binaries shall be on your $PATH.

For advanced users, this Prerelease is also accessible on Gadi via /g/data/vk83/prerelease/apps/spack/0.22/spack in the access-issm-pr34-4 environment.
Due to inode-saving measures, one will have to manually untar the environment metadata before environment activation with tar -xf .spack-env .spack-env.tar. It will require one to have write privileges.

Configuration Information

This Prerelease is deployed using:

• access-nri/spack on branch 0.22
• access-nri/spack-packages version 2025.11.002
• access-nri/spack-config version 2025.08.000

If the above was not what was expected, commit changes to config/versions.json in this PR.
