14.5.0-rc8: perl-AppConfig-caf vs perl-AppConfig

[jouvin]

I'm afraid you are running in all these problems because you have a problem in your YUM repos... or you did something wrong with the standard templates provided by the template library... There is no reason to have perl-AppConfig-caf anymore on a Quattor machine but you may be using the wrong perl-AppConfig as it used to exist one distributed by Quattor that add this dependency.

Thank you Michel,

I found the rpm in the following places:

cfg/quattor/13.1.2/quattor/aii/ks/config.pan:    "perl-AppConfig-caf",
cfg/quattor/13.1.2/quattor/client/rpms.pan:"/software/packages"=pkg_repl("perl-AppConfig-caf","1.9.1-1",         "noarch");
cfg/quattor/13.12/quattor/aii/ks/config.pan:    "perl-AppConfig-caf",
cfg/standard/quattor/aii/ks/config.tpl:    "perl-AppConfig-caf",
cfg/standard/quattor/client/rpms.tpl:"/software/packages"=pkg_repl("perl-AppConfig-caf","1.9.1-1","noarch");
cfg/sites/ral-tier1/os/sl600-x86_64/config/quattor/client.tpl:'/software/packages'=pkg_repl('perl-AppConfig-caf','1.8.7-1','noarch');

Should I just nuke it?

• 13.1.2 is correct and not affected by the last release.
• standard/quattor should no longer exist if you were using the last version of the template library (everything has been moved to cfg/quattor and what was in standard/quator is now in cfg/quattor/legacy).
• cfg/sites/... is your responsibility but for me this is a hack that used to be required at a early stage of SL6 support, before we created cfg/quattor.

Thank you Michel. Then this is probably a remnant of old hacks. I will not touch it in 13.x series and standard (which is legacy for us).

[jouvin]

There is no reason to touch 13.1.2.. But you should revisit at some point your usage of standard. You should restore standard as one of the standard directory in your include path and remove standard/quattor. We did it a while ago at GRIF, this is easy: just copy standard/quattor into cfg/quattor/legacy and add cfg/quattor/legacy to your cluster.build.properties for your cluster ou the equivalent in Aquilon.

Can we close it?
