xcatprobe subcommands (xcatmn, discovery, osdeploy) and hierarchy.pm load
xCAT:: perl modules but only add $XCATROOT/probe/lib/perl to @INC, not the
main $XCATROOT/lib/perl where perl-xCAT ships them. The RPM builder stopped
embedding those helpers, so /opt/xcat/probe/lib/perl/xCAT/ was absent on
installed systems and the subcommands were reported "Unsupported sub command".
Stage GlobalDef.pm, NetworkUtils.pm and ServiceNodeUtils.pm into a temporary
xCAT-probe tree and build its source tarball once, before the parallel target
builds fork, so workers only read a complete archive. Add package-payload
regression tests. Adopts the approach from upstream PR #7581.
The remaining buildrpms.pl changes are deployment-compliance refactoring
(signed, self-contained core repo output).
Closes#7579

(cherry picked from commit 0c3c44f28b)
Docker container lifecycle management (mgt=docker, mkdocker, rmdocker,
lsdocker) was added in 2015-2016 as an experiment targeting Docker API
v1.22 on Ubuntu only. Documentation and man pages were deliberately
removed in 2019 (PRs #6222 and #6324) with the original developer's
approval, noting that "the interface of Docker has become very simple
right now, so there is no value for xCAT to offer such functions."
The plugin was still being shipped but has had no functional code changes
since April 2016, was never listed as a valid mgt value in Schema.pm,
and no user ever filed an issue about it.
Removed:
- xCAT-server/lib/xcat/plugins/docker.pm (1,142 lines)
- xCAT/postscripts/setupdockerhost
- xCAT-server/share/xcat/scripts/setup-dockerhost-cert.sh
- xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/dockercommand/ (test cases)
- Docker attribute definitions in Schema.pm
- Client symlinks (mkdocker, rmdocker, lsdocker)
- Usage entries and dockerhost cert handling in credentials.pm
- Docker attribute documentation in man7 pages
The "Running xCAT in Docker" documentation (dockerized_xcat/) is
retained as it documents containerizing xCAT itself, not the removed
mgt=docker feature.
Closes#7518
When mkdef is called with an object name but no attributes (e.g.
mkdef -t node -o mynode), setFINALattrs produces an empty hash
and the OBJ loop has nothing to iterate. The code falls through to
"0 object definitions have been created or modified" with no
explanation of what went wrong.
Add a check after setFINALattrs: if FINALATTRS is empty, tell the
user what's missing. For nodes, mention that 'groups' is required.
Fixes#2765
