Description:

This update brings the genders package to the HPC module (FATE#324149 bsc#1085090), adding support for it in pdsh (FATE#325288 bsc#1085091), and includes the following fixes:

Changes in pdsh:

  • Since different host-list plugins have conflicting options and 'the first one wins' policy is not well defined, package all of them separately and make ones with identical options conflict. (bsc#1081673)
  • Put the SLURM plugin into separate package. (FATE#325289)

Changes in genders:

  • Added new package genders-base for the configuration file common to the libraries. (bsc#1081479)

Genders is a static cluster configuration database used for cluster configuration management. It is used by a variety of tools and scripts for management of large clusters. The genders database is typically replicated on every node of the cluster. It describes the layout and configuration of the cluster so that tools and scripts can sense the variations of cluster nodes. By abstracting this information into a plain text file, it becomes possible to change the configuration of a cluster by modifying only one file.
