The case failed on openeuler20.03sp4, openeuler22.03sp4 and openeuler24.03sp4, 3 occurrences in xcat-ci build 89. The diff check failed, not the extraction. encrypted_passwd_openssl_diskfull is the only case in passwd/case0 that selects the extraction by distribution. It greps /etc/*release for SUSE, then for "Red Hat|CentOS|Rocky|Alma", then for Ubuntu. On an openEuler management node all three miss and openEuler matches, so the case takes the final arm, prints "Sorry,this is not supported os", writes nothing to /tmp/instcryptedpasswd, and the diff against the password table reports rc=2. openEuler now takes the Red Hat arm. compute.openeuler.tmpl writes "rootpw --iscrypted #CRYPT:passwd:key=system,username=root:password#", which is byte-identical to every EL template, so field 3 holds the hash and the EL cells already pass with that arm. The diff check is unchanged, so the case still fails when the extraction reads the wrong field: field 3 of the expanded line gives diff rc=0 and field 4 gives rc=1.

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
