- Avoid netplan race condition
- #267: Add EL9 support
- #266: Fix GROW_ROOTFS and GROW_FS on btrfs
- #265: Improve START_SCRIPT

Known issues:

- Fedora 36,37 have systemd-networkd-wait-online.service to avoid a timeout when no interface uses networkd renderer
v6.4.0
This is a stable release of the Linux contextualization packages, which comes along with OpenNebula 6.4 Archeon.
Package was updated to reflect changes in the OpenNebula 6.4 - mainly new VM states exposed by OneGate and otherwise contains only small fixes and improvements listed below. One possibly breaking change is moving the package open-vm-tools for RedHat-like 7/8 systems from being a hard dependency to being a recommended dependency - this was done due to the support of ARM64 images where VMware tools package was missing on CentOS platforms. This way we can still be using one noarch package instead of multiple architecture-specific.
VMware users, please, note that you may need to explicitly install open-vm-tools package in RedHat-like systems and their clones (el7 and el8 rpms) if the recommended packages are not installed by default!
Changes since the previous stable version:
- #255: Add weak dependency support
- #258: Sync onegate cli with OpenNebula 6.4
- #251: Fix growing fs on international locales

The contextualization packages are compatible with OpenNebula versions from 4.6 to 6.4.
v6.2.0
This is a stable release of the Linux contextualization packages, which comes along with OpenNebula 6.2 Red Square.
The most significant changes are in the network configuration scripts, which have been refactored to reduce redundant code and provide flexibility to support new network configuration services. Newly NetworkManager, systemd-networkd, and Netplan can be used to manage the guest NICs. The most suitable network service is automatically detected, but can be enforced via context parameters (e.g., NETCFG_TYPE="networkd"). Reworked network code also allows selecting the IP configuration method inside the guest from common (and default) static network configuration to various dynamic configuration options, skipping any configuration actions, or even disabling IPv6 at all. This is configurable on the NIC level in OpenNebula VM template through new parameters METHOD (for IPv4) and IP6_METHOD (for IPv6), which are then propagated into corresponding context parameters (example of VM template snippet: NIC = [ NETWORK="example", METHOD = "dhcp", IP6_METHOD="disable" ]).
Recontextualization on vCenter is now possible even for updates, that don't cause a direct change in the VM. This is implemented by periodic recontextualization checks (via systemd timer or cronjob). Partition and filesystem growing on disks resized in the OpenNebula previously limited only to the root filesystem can now extend any custom disk (example: GROW_FS="/ /srv /mnt/data"). When reporting readiness of VM back to OpenNebula (if READY="yes"), it now retries failed operations and avoids hangs by using timeouts. When the hostname is changed during contextualization, the logging service is restarted to propagate the change also into the logs.
And, several other bug fixes and compatibility improvements.
Changes since the previous stable version:
- F #86: DHCP configured interfaces
- F #87: Add netplan support
- B #163: Services not enabled on upgrade
- F #170: Add NetworkManager support
- F #185: Recontextualizaton on vCenter
- #225: Sanitize init script names
- F #227: Selectable Network Configuration Renderers
- B #230: Fix potential mount/umount issues on FreeBSD 13

v6.0.0
This is a stable release of the Linux contextualization packages, which comes along with OpenNebula 6.0 Mutara. It contains few bug fixes, support for Oracle Linux, and a new tool onesysprep (similar to sysprep for Windows) to generalize Virtual Machines so that their images can be used as a base of other Virtual Machines. Unlike the similar virt-sysprep tool which must be executed by cloud administrator on the hypervisor Node while VM is powered-off, onesysprep runs the end-user right inside his Virtual Machine.
Changes since previous stable version:
- B #112: Move script location outside of /tmp
- F #127: New onesysprep tool
- F #219: Add ifupdown2 support on Debian/Ubuntu
- B #221: Swap on LVM system disk triggers extra recontextualization
- B #223: Generate SSH host keys with ssh-keygen -A on Debian/Ubuntu
- B OpenNebula/one#5258: OneGate ruby client does not terminate a VM
- New parameter
RECREATE_RUNto reconstruct content of/runfrom base image when tmpfs mounted on/run(Firecracker)
Supported guests:
- AlmaLinux: 8
- Alpine Linux: 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13
- ALT Linux: p9, Sisyphus

v5.12.0.2
