Four cases in xCAT-test/bats/postscripts_otherpkgs.bats fail on the integrated tree. extract_shell_if_block reports that the upgrade anchor occurs 4 times and the url repository anchor occurs 2 times, where 1 is expected. "if [ $hasyum -eq 1 ]; then" opens the upgrade block and also the yum branch of the preremove, the install and the postremove blocks. "OTHERPKGDIR_INTERNET" matches the guard that opens the url repository block and an assignment inside that block. The earlier helper took the first match and said nothing. otherpkgs_block now passes NTH and TOTAL through to extract_shell_if_block. The two upgrade cases take occurrence 1 of 4, so a fifth identical line fails the test instead of moving it. The two url repository cases anchor on the guard line itself, which occurs once. Both blocks the earlier helper took are the blocks the assertions describe, so no case measured the wrong code. On the integrated tree bats -r xCAT-test/bats gives 113 ok and 0 not ok. On this branch, where the helper is not yet hardened, the file gives 18 ok. Signed-off-by: Daniel Hilst <392820+dhilst@users.noreply.github.com>
xCAT
xCAT is a toolkit for deployment and administration of clusters of all sizes.
The xCAT sunset was only a quick eclipse
Dear xCAT Community,
The xCAT sunset has changed course. VersatusHPC has been invited to join the xCAT Consortium, and future development will move toward direct upstream contributions coordinated with the Consortium and its existing member companies.
That matters most for Enterprise Linux 10 (EL10). EL10 support is coming to xCAT, restoring a future operating-system path for sites that still rely on xCAT. This is an important change from the previous sunset guidance, where the lack of an EL10 path was one of the strongest reasons to move away from xCAT.
The xCAT Consortium continues to recommend Confluent as the long-term successor to xCAT, and that remains the Consortium position. Users planning new cluster-management deployments should evaluate Confluent and its xCAT comparison documentation.
At the same time, xCAT is no longer sunsetted. The Consortium and participating companies will continue updating xCAT while there is community and user demand for it.
In summary:
- xCAT development is continuing upstream through the Consortium and participating companies.
- Enterprise Linux 10 support is coming.
- Confluent remains the Consortium-recommended successor and migration path.
- xCAT updates will continue while there is community and user demand.
We want to thank the xCAT Consortium and community for keeping this project moving. The sun went behind the moon for a moment, but xCAT is still here.
For more information on Confluent and how to get started, please visit the Confluent: Project Page, Documentation or Confluent vs xCAT comparison.
With thanks,
The xCAT Consortium
