We have just tagged and uploaded to the Yum repositories Quattor 13.3. Special changes include:
New configuration modules
ncm-network
The old ncm-network
is part of this release. It is shipped for
completitude. While it will be replaced by a more maintainable
component, we need to be able to configure the network now.
ncm-openldap
UGent’s fork of ncm-openldap
has made it into this release. The
schema is slightly different from the old version, but it adds the
ability to handle multiple databases, better defined access
restrictions and much more.
Improvements to configuration modules
cron
: remove whitespace from log file names, even if the job name has them.sendmail
: bug fixesspma
: many bug fixes. Users of the Yum-based SPMA are strongly recommended to upgrade to this release.accounts
: account removal is now safer and more reliable.
CCM
ccm-fetch
can ignore/etc/noquattor
by passing--force-quattor
on the command line.- Some spurious dependencies have been dropped. This version should be easier to install on very old platforms.
- CCM can now download profiles from dynamic URLs. For instance,
https://my.quattor.srv/profiles?profile_name=node.doma.in&version=1.2
AII
- It is now possible to enable SSH during the Anaconda phase, making it easier to debug installation problems.
Compatibility notes
- This is the last version of SPMA that keeps copatibility with the old implementation.
