Change software package to be top down install. #80

Closed mhuguesaws closed 1 year ago

mhuguesaws commented 1 year ago

This enhancement add the ability to add specify the dependencies on packages of an application, then all dependencies will be installed from the application dependencies description.

Currently, each package is installed from down to top such as Open MPI, Compiler and then the application. The challenge is that only version of a package can be installed across different applications. This feature add the ability to have compiler and mpi per application.

In a second round of change, we'll add function to have package per application as well.

It will simplify maintenance moving forward.
