+# After running this script, add the following line to

 # 
-# Getting Started:
-#  - Check out the xcat-core svn repository (either the trunk or a branch) into
-#    a dir called <rel>/src/xcat-core, where <rel> is the same as the release dir it will be
-#    uploaded to in sourceforge (e.g. devel, or 2.3).
-#  - You probably also want to put root's pub key from the build machine onto sourceforge for
-#    the upload user listed below, so you don't have to keep entering pw's.  You can do this
-#    at https://sourceforge.net/account/ssh
-#  - make sure reprepro is installed on the build machine
-#  - Run this script from the local svn repository you just created.  It will create the other directories that are needed.
-
-# Usage:  attr=value attr=value ... ./build-ubunturepo { -c | -d }
-#               PROMOTE=1 - if the attribute "PROMOTE" is specified, means an official dot release.  This does not
-#                                       actually build xcat, just uploads the most recent snap build to https://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/xcat/ .
-#                                       If not specified, a snap build is assumed, which uploads to https://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/yum/
-#                                       or https://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/aix/.
-#               PREGA=1 - use this option with PROMOTE=1 on a branch that already has a released dot release, but this build is
-#                                       a GA candidate build, not to be released yet.  This will result in the tarball being uploaded to
-#                                       https://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/yum/ or https://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/aix/
-#                                       (but the tarball file name will be like a released tarball, not a snap build).  When you are ready to
-#                                       release this build, use PROMOTE=1 without PREGA
-#               BUILDALL=1 - build all rpms, whether they changed or not.  Should be used for snap builds that are in prep for a release.
-#               UP=0 or UP=1 - override the default upload behavior
-#
-# For the dependency packages 1. please run the build-debs-all in xcat-dep svn first( there is usage detail in that script)
-#                             2. run ./build-ubunturepo -d

+The xCAT database spans a number of tables, some with records associated with particular nodes
+(such as nodelist and nodehm) and others that do not have a direct relationship with any given node.
+The tables not associated with a given node are straightforward, the data is stored and retrieved
+as-is from the database without interpretation, and without any generic inheritance
+(though some calling code may implement inheritance for specific fields, for example
+nodehm.power inheriting from nodehm.mgt).
+
+The tables with records typically retrieved by node name have some extra features to enable a more
 template-based style to be used:

-Any group name can be used in lieu of a node name in the node field, and that row will then
-provide "default" attribute values for any node in that group.  A row with a specific node name
-can then override one or more attribute values for that specific node.  For example, if the nodehm table contains:
+Any group name can be used in lieu of a node name in the node field, and that record will then
+be taken to be applicable to any node in that group.  If a field is requested for a specific node,
+and either a record doesn't exist specifically for that nodename or a record exists, but has no
+definition for the requested field, that node's groups are then used to search for
+records.  If multiple records could apply from two different groups, the precedence is
+the order the groups are specified in the nodelist table for that node.  This is nearly identical to
+most xCAT 1.x tab file conventions.  This is useful in tables such as noderes, where typical
+configurations have exactly the same field values for large sets of nodes.

- #node,power,mgt,cons,termserver,termport,conserver,serialport,serialspeed,serialflow,getmac,cmdmapping,comments,disable
- "mygroup",,"ipmi",,,,,,"19200",,,,,
- "node1",,,,,,,,"115200",,,,,
+xCAT 2 extends the above to be made useful where a field will vary for every node with a given tag,
+but in ways that would be trivial to describe.  If a field is of the format /I<pattern>/I<replacement>/,
+it is taken to be a perl regular expression, to be performed on the nodename.  For example, the bmc field
+of the ipmi table might be B</\z/-bmc/> for a record with node=ipmi to specify that the BMC hostname is derived
+by appending B<-bmc> to the end of the nodename of every node in the ipmi group.

-In the above example, the node group called mygroup sets mgt=ipmi and serialspeed=19200.  Any nodes that are in this group
-will have those attribute values, unless overridden.  For example, if node2 is a member of mygroup, it will automatically
-inherit these attribute values (even though it is not explicitly listed in this table).  In the case of node1 above, it
-inherits mgt=ipmi, but overrides the serialspeed to be 115200, instead of 19200.  A useful, typical way to use this
-capability is to create a node group for your nodes and for all the attribute values that are the same for every node,
-set them at the group level.  Then you only have to set attributes for each node that vary from node to node.
+As an extension to the above, a regular expression extended with arithmetic operators is available,
+by using the format |I<pattern>|I<replacement>|.  This behaves similarly to the above, but () enclosed parts
+in I<replacement> are taken to signify arithmetic operations and substituted in.  All operations are integer
+arithmetic, so 5/4 would come out as 1.  The typical perl positional variables are available in such expressions.

-xCAT extends the group capability so that it can also be used for attribute values that vary from node to node
-in a very regular pattern.  For example, if in the ipmi table you want the bmc attribute to be set to whatever the nodename is with
-"-bmc" appended to the end of it, then use this in the ipmi table:
+For example, if you have many blades in your cluster and their hostnames have a regular
+pattern of blade1, blade2, etc., and your BladeCenter management modules also have a hostname
+pattern of amm1, amm2, etc., then your B<mp> table could be expressed by the following single row:

- #node,bmc,bmcport,taggedvlan,bmcid,username,password,comments,disable
- "compute","/\z/-bmc/",,,,,,,
-
-In this example, "compute" is a node group that contains all of the compute nodes.  The 2nd attribute (bmc) is a regular
-expression that is similar to a substitution pattern.  The 1st part "\z" matches the end of the node name and substitutes "-bmc", effectively appending it to the node name.
-
-Another example is if node1 is to have IP address 10.0.0.1, node2 is to have IP address 10.0.0.2, etc.,
-then this could be represented in the hosts table with the single row:
-
- #node,ip,hostnames,otherinterfaces,comments,disable
- "compute","|node(\d+)|10.0.0.($1+0)|",,,,
-
-In this example, the regular expression in the ip attribute uses "|" to separate the 1st and 2nd part.  This means that
-xCAT will allow arithmetic operations in the 2nd part.  In the 1st part, "(\d+)", will match the number part of the node
-name and put that in a variable called $1.  The 2nd part
-is what value to give the ip attribute.  In this case it will set it to the string "10.0.0." and the number that is
-in $1.  (Zero is added to $1 just to remove any leading zeroes.)
-
-A more involved example is with the mp table.  If your blades have node names node01, node02, etc., and your chassis
-node names are cmm01, cmm02, etc., then you might have an mp table like:
-
- #node,mpa,id,nodetype,comments,disable
- "blade","|\D+(\d+)|cmm(sprintf('%02d',($1-1)/14+1))|","|\D+(\d+)|(($1-1)%14+1)|",,
+  "blade","|\D+(\d+)|amm(($1-1)/14+1)|","|\D+(\d+)|(($1-1)%14+1)|",,

+of a specific blade (e.g. B<blade20>), this row will match (because B<blade20> is in the B<blade> group).
+Once this row is matched for B<blade20>, then the processing described in the following items will take
 place.

-=item B<|\D+(\d+)|cmm(sprintf('%02d',($1-1)/14+1))|>
+=item B<|\D+(\d+)|amm(($1-1)/14+1)|>

 This is a perl substitution pattern that will produce the value for the second column of the table (the
-management module hostname).  The text B<\D+(\d+)> between the 1st two vertical bars is
+management module hostname).
+The text B<\D+(\d+)> between the 1st two vertical bars is
 a regular expression that matches the node
-name that was searched for in this table (in this example B<node20>).  The text that matches
+name that was searched for in this table (in this example B<blade20>).  The text that matches
 within the 1st set of parentheses is set to $1.  (If there was a 2nd set of parentheses, it would
 be set to $2, and so on.)  In our case, the \D+ matches the non-numeric part of the name
-(B<node>) and the B<\d+> matches the numeric part (B<20>).  So $1 is set to B<20>.  The text B<cmm(sprintf('%02d',($1-1)/14+1))> between the
-2nd and 3rd vertical bars produces the string that should be used as the value for the mpa attribute for node20.
-Since $1 is set to 20, the expression B<($1-1)/14+1> equals
-19/14 + 1, which equals 2.  (The division is integer division,
-so 19/14 equals 1.  Fourteen is used as the divisor, because there are 14 blades in each chassis.)  The value of 2 is then passed into sprintf() with a format string to add a leading
-zero, if necessary, to always make the number two digits.  Lastly the string B<cmm> is added to the beginning,
-making the resulting string B<cmm02>, which will be used as the hostname
+(B<blade>) and the \d+ matches the numeric part (B<20>).  So $1 is set to B<20>.  The text B<amm(($1-1)/14+1)> between the
+2nd and 3rd vertical bars produces the string that should be used as the value
+for this column in a hypothetical row for blade20.  Since $1 is set to 20, the expression B<($1-1)/14+1> equals
+19/14 + 1, which equals 2.  Therefore the whole string is B<amm2>, which will be used as the hostname
 of the management module.

 =item B<|\D+(\d+)|(($1-1)%14+1)|>

 This item is similar to the one above.  This substituion pattern will produce the value for
-the 3rd column (the chassis slot number for this blade).  Because this row was
-the match for B<node20>, the parentheses
+the 3rd column (the BladeCenter chassis slot number for this blade).  Because this row was
+the match for B<blade20>, the parentheses
 within the 1st set of vertical bars will set $1 to 20.  Since % means modulo division, the
-expression B<($1-1)%14+1> will evaluate to B<6>.
+expression B<($1-1)%14+1> will evaluate to 6.

-=head3 updateCFMSynclistFile
-    Update the synclist file(/install/osimages/<imagename>/synclist.cfm) for CFM function. 
-    It will recursively scan the files under cfmdir directory and then add them to CFM synclist file.
-    Note:
-    The files with suffix ".append" will be appended to the dest file(records in "APPEND:" section).
-    The files with suffix ".merge" will be merged to the dest file(records in "MERGE:" section).
-
-    In addition, it will reserve the user specified records in the synclist file. The example synclist file:
-	<cfmdir>/etc/hosts -> /etc/hosts
-	/root/install.log -> /tmp/install.log
-	...
-
-	APPEND:
-	<cfmdir>/etc/hosts.append -> /etc/hosts
-	/root/install.log.syslog -> /tmp/install.log
-	...
-	EXECUTE:
-	...
-	EXECUTEALWAYS:
-	...
-	MERGE:
-	<cfmdir>/etc/group.merge -> /etc/group
-	<cfmdir>/etc/shadow.merge -> /etc/shadow
-	<cfmdir>/etc/passwd.merge -> /etc/passwd

+=head1 NAME
+
+xCAT::NameRange - Perl module for xCAT namerange expansion
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+	use xCAT::NameRange;
+	my @nodes=namerange("storage@rack1,node[1-200],^/tmp/nodelist,node300-node400,node401+10,500-550");
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+namerange interprets xCAT noderange formatted strings and returns a list of 
+names. The following two operations are supported on elements, and interpreted 
+left to right:
+
+  , union next element with everything to the left.
+
+  @ take intersection of element to the right with everything on the left 
+   (i.e. mask out anything to the left not belonging to what is described to 
+   the right)
+
+Each element can be a number of things:
+
+  A node name, i.e.:
+
+=item * node1
+
+A hyphenated node range (only one group of numbers may differ between the left and right hand side, and those numbers will increment in a base 10 fashion):
+
+node1-node200 node1-compute-node200-compute
+node1:node200 node1-compute:node200-compute
+
+A namerange denoted by brackets:
+
+node[1-200] node[001-200]
+
+A regular expression describing the namerange:
+
+/d(1.?.?|200)
+
+A node plus offset (this increments the first number found in nodename):
+
+node1+199
+
+And most of the above substituting groupnames.
+3C
+3C
+
+NameRange tries to be intelligent about detecting padding, so you can:
+node001-node200
+And it will increment according to the pattern.

-
-THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
-
-1. DEFINITIONS
-
-"Contribution" means:
-
-a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and
-b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
-
-i) changes to the Program, and
-
-ii) additions to the Program;
-
-where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
-
-"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
-
-"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.
-
-"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
-
-"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.
-
-2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
-
-a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.
-
-b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
-
-c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.
-
-d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
-
-3. REQUIREMENTS
-
-A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:
-
-a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
-
-b) its license agreement:
-
-i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
-
-ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
-
-iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
-
-iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
-
-When the Program is made available in source code form:
-
-a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
-
-b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
-
-Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
-
-Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.
-
-4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
-
-Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
-
-For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.
-
-5. NO WARRANTY

-7. GENERAL
-
-If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
-
-If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
