buildrpms_source_only.t's CLI half failed in CI: the runner has no
Parallel::ForkManager, so buildrpms.pl aborted at compile time and never
reached the option check the test is about. The module is needed only by
the test suite -- buildrpms.pl is not a runtime dependency of any package
-- so it goes in the workflow apt list.
The same half also escaped its scratch tree. Before buildrpms.pl looks at
@ARGV it rewrites the tracked Gitinfo in its working directory and creates
$HOME/rpmbuild, so running it from the checkout left the tree dirty and
reached into the developer's home to exercise argument parsing. It now
runs from a staged copy with HOME pointed at the sandbox.
Exit 2 is pinned rather than "non-zero", though perl also exits 2 on a
compile abort -- which is exactly how this assertion stayed green in CI
while the program could not load. The message assertion is what separates
the two, and the comment now says so.

Label a PR 'backport <branch>' (e.g. 'backport 2.18') and, once it
merges, this workflow cherry-picks the PR's commits onto that branch
and opens the backport PR automatically. Labeling an already-merged
PR triggers it retroactively. On cherry-pick conflict the action
comments on the original PR so the backport can be done by hand.
On the ubuntu-24.04 runner, dpkg-buildpackage aborted every xcat-core
package with 'Unmet build dependencies: build-essential:native', so zero
debs were produced, reprepro created no dists/noble, and 'apt-get update'
against the local file: repo failed with 'dists/noble/.../Packages File
not found' -> install_xcat failed. Add build-essential to the workflow
dependency install so the local package repo is actually built.
The xcat-dep APT repo now publishes only the noble (24.04) codename at
.../apt/latest/xcat-dep; the bionic/devel dist no longer exists, so
install_xcat failed on apt-get update/install. Run the workflow on
ubuntu-24.04 and point the apt source at latest/xcat-dep noble main.
Drop the apt-key step: apt-key is removed on Ubuntu 24.04 and the legacy
apt.key is gone from the xcat-dep dir; the repo already installs via
allow-insecure-repositories/allow-unauthenticated.
