Re-phrase now that problem is clear.

1. I ran out of space during a spack install --keep-stage llvm. I still have the stage, but spack install now deletes any existing stages. So assuming I get enough free space for a make install, will spack reindex then show that it has llvm installed, or do I need to do something else?

2. LLVM defaults to a debug build. This is an unacceptable reversion from when there was a debug variant. It likely has ensnared many victims. It's gotten me twice now.

blame shows @adamjstewart , it fell in here. Is there any particular reason you deleted the debug variant and also made it Debug by default?

I still ❤️ you, but this one needs to go back right? The problem now is that if debug variant is reintroduced, that's going to orphan anybody who has currently installed llvm without that variant (hashes will change).

I assume no, but am hoping I just don't know enough. I must recompile this in order to have the expected sizes right? There is no way to use the existing (but successful) installation without also wasting over 32GB of space?
