The Debian package set the xCAT helper directory to 0644, preventing
unprivileged users from loading the probe modules.
Set library directories to 0755 and regular files to 0644. Repair the old
helper-directory mode during configuration because dpkg preserves existing
modes. Leave administrator overrides, other modes, and symlinks unchanged.
The kit commands refuse RHEL 8 and later, but compared the release as a
string. "10.1" sorts before "8", so the kit commands ran on RHEL 10.
They now compare the major release as a number.
An extra file must go into its destination directory, which the import
creates with its missing parents. A file at the destination path, or at
a parent of it, must fail the import and stay as it was. A file name
with glob characters must stay literal. A failed backup of the previous
file must fail the import.
imgexport records an extra file with its destination directory. When
that directory did not exist, imgimport copied the file to the path of
the directory, so the file took the name of the directory. When a file
was at that path, imgimport replaced it.
imgimport now creates the destination directory and its missing
parents, as it does for an extra directory. A file at that path fails
the import and stays as it was. The copy runs without a shell, so a
file name with glob characters cannot match another file. A failed
backup of the previous file now fails the import.
A cached reader that saw an update before a rollback must see the
committed value after the rollback. This also holds when the rollback
goes through another table on the same handle, and after a table failed
to open on that handle.
rollback did not mark the caches of the rolled-back tables as stale. A
cached read after a write and before the rollback kept the rejected
value. Cached readers then got it for up to 5 seconds after the
rollback. MySQL and PostgreSQL share one handle among tables, so a
rollback through one table also undoes the changes of the others.
rollback now refreshes the cache of every table on its handle.
setAttribsWhere did not mark the cache of its table as stale, as the
other writes of xCAT::Table do. A cached reader, such as the one that
gives nodes their postscripts, got the previous values for up to 5
seconds after an update. setAttribsWhere now refreshes the cache after
an update.
When the configured database is MySQL, the litefile lookup of a
statelite import must quote the image column with backticks. An ALL
entry must still cover the same file of the image.
