Feature

• Add carts using URLs. Remove Unpack Carts

  Add carts using URL.
  Remove "unpack" cart command
  Clean up docstrings. Use authentication for downloading
  carts using URLS

  Fixes JIRA: STACKI-503

• Reject common hostnames ('frontend' and 'backend')

  This fixes JIRA: STACKI-350

• Add user settable host metadata

  This is similar to the AWS meta-data, the idea being a container for
  arbitrary data unique to a host. stack set host metadata is used
  to set this and the data itself is made available from a read-only
  host attribute called metadata.

  The same thing could have been accomplished using a standard attribute,
  but the intention is to have the semantics that this is unique to a host
  and not subject to the standard attribute inheritance rules.

  BREAKING CHANGE: schema addition

  $ mysql cluster
  MariaDB [cluster]> alter table nodes add column MetaData text default NULL;
  

• Have the test-framework VMs use less RAM

  Change all the VMs to be created with 1GB of RAM instead of 2GB. That
  should still be enough for them to get their jobs done.

• Generate Release Notes Automatically

  stack-releasenotes is installed on all nodes

  This is generated from the Git Log and assumes the new nice
  format for commits. Ugly old git logs are also included (for now)

Bugfix

• Cart permissions need to be recursively applied.

  Cart permissions were only being applied at the top level, and
  to the files in the directories. None of the directory permissions
  changed. This commit fixes it so that directory permissions change
  as well

• Give backends 2GB each during tests

  It turns out that the Centos 7 backends don't like to install into
  anything with less than 2GB of RAM.

• Don't install the stacki-releasenotes package on SLES11

• stack list os

  list os needs to trick the endOutput code to report only one column, all
  other commands report multiple columns. Recent changes in endOutput broke
  the trick. For output-format=json the was not broken, only for text output.

• stack list host sorts hosts by rack/rank numerically then alphabetically

  Hosts will be sorted by rack numerically first, then alphabetically. That is, all hosts with
  numerical rack values will be listed first, then all hosts with non-numerical rack values will
  be listed last.

  Hosts with the same rack value, will be sorted numerically first, then alphabetically. Below
  is an example output of stack list host:

  HOST	RACK	RANK	APPLIANCE
  stacki-2-1	0	0	frontend
  backend-0-0	1	station-11	backend
  ethernet-2-1	2	1	switch
  stacki-2-10	2	10	backend
  stacki-2-11	2	11	backend
  stacki-2-12	2	12	backend
  infiniband-2-18	2	18	switch
  infiniband-2-20	2	20	switch
  ethernet-2-43	2	43	switch
  backend-0-1	sector-42	2	backend
  backend-0-2	sector-42	3	backend
  backend-0-3	sector-42	4	backend
  backend-0-4	sector-42	station-8	backend

• Ignore drop database warning

  This fixes JIRA: STACKI-493

• SLES11 doesn't have the stack-releasenotes package (currently)

• Better handling for old pip wheel files

  pip2src crashed on a package update because it of lazy parsing
  of the METADATA file.

• stack-releasenotes missing from manifest
