Gap: packaging

[bernhold]

Apart from references in Events and a blog post, there is no content on Spack on BSSw.io, and probably nothing for the more general topic of packaging for HPC/CSE software (though I haven't done an exhaustive search).

So should we have something in BSSw and how to we want to present it?

Personally, I would favor a page on the broader topic of packaging, pointing to a number of the tools and resources out there. Maybe this is more of an original article than curated content, but maybe that's not so important.

Consensus within the EB is that we do need some basic content on packaging approaches/tools, more than spack specifically. "How to get started packaging your software" something like that. We decided that this had probably moved into Ready for Development prematurely, since there's no concrete proposal for content. So we're turning it into a gap and moving it back to backlog.
