Fixed In Version: clufter-0.77.1-1.el6
Doc Type: Rebase: Bug Fixes and Enhancements
Doc Text:
_clufter_ rebased to version 0.77.1 The _clufter_ packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.77.1, which provides a number of bug fixes, new features, and user experience enhancements over the previous version. Among the notable updates are the following: * When producing `pcs` commands, the `clufter` tool now supports a preferred ability to generate `pcs` commands that will update only the modifications made to a configuration by means of a differential update rather than a pushing a wholesale update of the entire configuration. Likewise when applicable, the `clufter` tool now supports instructing the `pcs` tool to configure user permissions (ACLs). For this to work across the instances of various major versions of the document schemas, `clufter` gained the notion of internal on-demand format upgrades, mirroring the internal mechanics of `pacemaker`. Similarly, `clufter` is now capable of configuring the `bundle` feature. * In any script-like output sequence such as that produced with the `ccs2pcscmd` and `pcs2pcscmd` families of `clufter` commands, the intended shell interpreter is now emitted in a valid form, so that the respective commented line can be honored by the operating system. * When using `clufter` to translate an existing configuration with the `pcs2pcscmd-needle` command in the case where the `corosync.conf` equivalent omits the `cluster_name` option (which is not the case with standard pcs-initiated configurations), the contained `pcs cluster setup` invocation no longer causes cluster misconfiguration with the name of the first given node interpreted as the required cluster name specification. The same invocation will now include the `--encryption 0|1` switch when available, in order to reflect the original configuration accurately. * All `clufter` commands having a sequence of `pcs` commands at the output, meaning they are passed through a post-processing to improve readability (unless disabled with `--noop=cmd-wrap`), no longer have the issue that some characters with special meaning in shell language were not being quoted, which changed their interpretation. * The `clufter` tool now also covers some additional recently added means of configuration as facilitated with `pcs` (heuristics for a quorum device, meta attributes for top-level `bundle` resource units) when producing the sequence of configuring `pcs` commands to reflect existing configurations when applicable. On the `corosync` configuration interfacing side, the format parser no longer misinterprets commented-out lines with spaces or tabulators in front of the respective delimiter, and support for some mechanically introduced options was reconsidered under closer examination of what `pcs` actually handles. For information on the capabilities of *clufter*, see the `clufter(1)` man page or the output of the "clufter -h" command. For examples of *clufter* usage, see the following Red Hat Knowledgebase article: https://access.redhat.com/articles/2810031.

Description Jan Pokorný [poki] 2017-12-15 16:02:38 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1367536 +++

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1387424 +++

Upstream development of clufter has progressed  so this asks for
a rebase.

NOTE:
It's understood that under normal circumstances, packages are not
receiving any updates sans the critical fixes, but this component begs
to differ as it also stands for a RHEL 7 migration technology, and RHEL
7 itself is a slightly moving target across minor releases, which is
in turn being gradually accommodated by this tool.  And because it's
reasonable to allow for tailored migration up to the latest RHEL 7 minor
version as of the particular RHEL 6 release (6.10 here), the request
to proceed with the rebase is deemed justified here.

More specifically, clufter received plentiful bug fixes and enhancements
compared to previous RHEL minor release (6.9/clufter-0.59.8) as
currently, clufter is at version 0.77.0.

Comment 8 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2018-04-19 15:21:42 UTC
Regarding changelog items (improving upon the procedure over that
of [bug 1387424 comment 12]):

$ git tag --no-merged v0.59.8
> v0.70.0
> v0.75.0
> v0.76.0
> v0.77.0
> v0.77.1

$ git tag -n9999 --no-merged v0.59.8 | sed 's|^v[^ ]*[ ]*|\n&\n-------\n|'
> 
> v0.70.0         
> -------
> bug fix, enhancement and, foremostly, Python 3 compatibility release
>     
>     - bug fixes:
>       . since v0.59.7, {ccs,pcs}2pcscmd commands were meant to emit
>         hashbangs so as to make it clear which shell (e.g. bash if its
>         extensions are relied upon) the suggested scripts should be run
>         under, but alas, exclamation mark has been accidentally missing
>         [related rhbz#1381531]
>       . invocations like "clufter ccs2pcscmd | bash -x", despite being
>         discouraged (review is needed for any nontrivial case, anyway),
>         if "pcs cluster auth" part interactively prompting credentials
>         was part of the run, they would be obtained from the piped script
>         under interpreter's execution itself due to the way the descriptors
>         are inherited; now there is an explicit stdin/stdout redirect
>         against /dev/tty in place to prevent such undesired side-effect
>     - functional changes:
>       . owing to the internal overhaul, *2pcscmd commands now properly
>         adapt to whether the output is directed to a terminal or not
>         (including piping to another command) with regards to colorizing
>         and text-wrapping for reasonable line lengths unless overridden
>         with explicit switches
>       . commands dealing with XML format (at some internal, not necessarily
>         user-facing phase; covers all *2pcs* ones) are now proofed so as
>         to preserve XML attribute ordering, leading to consistent results
>         (desired way beyond internal test suite)
>       . better diagnostics are now provided for some previously neglected
>         error conditions
>     - feature highlight: Python 3 support (-> minor version bump so high)
>       . beside Python 2.6, clufter project now strives to support 3.2+
>         as well; brand new compatibility with the latter was casually
>         and unit tested (the suite was also adapted to support both),
>         but some corner cases may have not been hit yet, hence this
>         class of bug reports is especially appreciated
>       . for the clufter as a library users: under Python 3, "bytestring"
>         protocol now, due to a strict dichotomy, indeed means "passed as
>         bytes (or compatible) type" (if the contrary is observed, it is
>         a bug to be fixed)
>       . *2pcscmd commands now state also the Python interpreter in the
>         initial informative comment block to ease the troubleshooting
>         in the light of newly introduced dual Python 2/3 support
>       . so-called external plugins are now implicitly searched also in
>         additional, Python interpreter agnostic path intended primarily
>         for plugins maintaining dual Python 2/3 compatibility (in the same
>         vein as core clufter as of this release)
>       . meta-spec prescribing a suggested RPM packaging in a generic way
>         now encompasses the above point as well as it offers python3-clufter
>         subpackage, and in turn factors some shared files to other new
>         subpackages (clufter-bin, clufter-common)
> 
> v0.75.0         
> -------
> enhancement and Python 3 compatibility improving release
>     
>     - enhancements:

Summarization of the most important items, taking [bug 1509381 comment 4]
and [RHEL7.4relnotes] into account:

---

When producing `pcs` commands, the `clufter` tool now supports
a preferred ability to generate `pcs` commands that will update only
the modifications made to a configuration by means of a differential
update rather than a pushing a wholesale update of the entire
configuration. Likewise when applicable, the `clufter` tool now
supports instructing the `pcs` tool to configure user permissions
(ACLs). For this to work across the instances of various major versions
of the document schemas, `clufter` gained the notion of internal
on-demand format upgrades, mirroring the internal mechanics of
`pacemaker`.  Similarly, `clufter` is now capable of configuring
the `bundle` feature. (BZ#1381531)

In any script-like output sequence such as that produced by the
`ccs2pcscmd` and `pcs2pcscmd` families of `clufter` commands,
the intended shell interpreter is now emitted in a valid form,
so that the respective commented line can finally be honored
by the operating system. (BZ#1381531)

When using `clufter` to translate existing configuration with
`pcs2pcscmd-needle` command whereby `corosync.conf` equivalent
omits `cluster_name` option (not the case with standard `pcs`
initiated configurations), the contained `pcs cluster setup`
invocation no longer causes cluster misconfiguration with the
name of the first given node interpreted as the required cluster
name specification.  The same invocation will now be enriched
with "--encryption 0|1" switch when available, in order to
reflect the original configuration truthfully.

All `clufter` commands having sequence of `pcs` commands at the
output, which are hence passed through a post-processing with the
intention to gain on human friendliness (unless disabled with
`--noop=cmd-wrap`), shall no longer suffer from some characters
with special meaning in shell language not being quoted, thus
changing their interpretation undesirably.

The `clufter` tool now also covers some other recently added
means of configuration as facilitated with `pcs` (heuristics
for a quorum device, meta attributes for top-level `bundle`
encapsulations) when producing sequence of configuring `pcs`
commands to reflect existing configurations when applicable.
On the `corosync` configuration interfacing side, the format
parser no longer mistreats commented-out lines with spaces
or tabulators in front of the respective delimiter, and
support for some mechanically introduced options was
reconsidered under closer examination of what `pcs` actually
handles. (BZ#1517834, BZ#1552666)
