go-xcat's install list still named yaboot-xcat, which was obsoleted in the
xcat-dep 2.18 rebuild and is no longer published. It also lists the cross-arch
ppc64 genesis packages, which the arch-split 2.18 dep repo no longer places in
the x86_64 view an x86 management node reads. Because EL dnf is strict by
default, any one of these unresolvable names aborts the entire `dnf install`
transaction, so `go-xcat install` fails outright on EL9/EL10 even though every
package the node actually needs is available.
Drop yaboot-xcat from the install list (kept in the uninstall list so existing
installs are still cleaned up) and pass `dnf --setopt=strict=0` so a package
missing from the enabled repository is warned and skipped instead of failing
the whole install. The existing post-install smoke test still catches a
genuinely broken install.

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.
Master is the 2.19 development line: it already carries 2.19-bound
features (statelite NFS root mount options, DHCP OMAPI HMAC-SHA256
defaults for new sites, the xcat-release package). 2.18.x maintenance
releases are cut from the 2.18 branch, and 2.18.1 has already been
published to the EL yum repos, so builds from master must not label
themselves 2.18.x.
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.
