Neither is packaged by EPEL or Ubuntu, so the hard dependency made the
server uninstallable there without --nodeps or a stub package. Both are
already optional in the code: httpapi drops passkey support when
webauthn does not import, and the Lenovo IMM2 BIOS settings path reports
the missing module as unsupported functionality. Recommend them instead,
as the SUSE branch already does for webauthn.
See xcat2/confluent#192.
Linux-PAM reads vendor defaults from /usr/lib/pam.d and distributions are
migrating there package by package: systemd and polkit already ship into
it on both EL and Debian, and on SUSE 16 openssh has followed. There the
old code left a dangling /etc/pam.d/confluent and every pam authentication
against it failed.
The deb postinst carries the same logic, so fix it in step. ln -sf rather
than ln -s because -e is false for a dangling link, so the old code retried
the symlink and failed with 'File exists' instead of repairing it.
Release tags do not live on master: 3.15.2 through 3.15.6 were tagged on branch
3.15, so git describe reaches only 3.15.1 and dev builds were stamped
3.15.2.dev<n>. Besides being confusing, rpm and dpkg both rank the released
3.15.6 above that, so a dev package will not install over a released one.
Add a top-level VERSION file naming the release the branch is working toward
(4.0.0 on master) and a mkversion helper that stamps packages from it, keeping
the tag-derived value as a floor so a forgotten bump cannot go backwards.
mkversion also replaces the block copy-pasted into seven build scripts, and
makesetup no longer writes a per-package VERSION file, so the stale checked-in
confluent_common/VERSION goes with it.
The following post install steps were missing on Ubuntu builds:
- Permission fixes
- sysctl load
- Service restart
- confluent PAM symlink to /etc/pam.d/sshd. It works without it on
Ubuntu because it falls back to other which allows login on Ubuntu,
but the behaviour should be the same on every OS. Furtheremore, an
admin might implement additional steps to sshd PAM and would like to
have this in Confluent, too
