[petsc-dev] error in Jenkins but not nightly

[Balay, Satish]

now configure needs to know and support full spack build and query all the dependency info from spack..

For now - I'll try out a simpler model [i.e manually rebuild as needed]

I guess essentially Buildsystem would issues commands to spack on each "prebuilt" package each time it runs in test mode (using the URL in the package file?)  and after the first time spack would ignore the commands since it already had the version ready. I could use this on my machine also.
