resalloc v5.1

New in v5.1:

• New Features:

  • A new concept of "agent-like" resources has been implemented. A new
    resalloc-agent-spawner daemon (shipped in resalloc-agent-spawner
    package) converges the number of agents (tickets opened against the
    resalloc server) according to the current state of the external system
    (e.g., according to the wishes of the OpenScanHub, software based on the
    Kobo framework). This feature is now provided in "beta" quality.

  • The resalloc ticket-check now raises a WARNING for non-existing ticket
    IDs. The API has been appropriately fixed so that even clients with the
    .survive_server_restart option won't indefinitely hang on a non-existing
    ticket ID.

• Bugfixes:

  • Web browsing the pools has been fixed to prevent users from encountering
    500 errors. For more information, see
    fedora-copr/copr#2882

  • The resalloc-selinux package has dropped the RPM dependency on
    resalloc-webui.

  • A bug in the "on-demand" resources concept has been fixed so that even a
    single ticket can no longer trigger the allocation of multiple resources.

  • A traceback bug-fix has been added to the "cleanup resource orphans"
    logic, addressing cases when no resource has yet started in the configured
    pool. A user-friendly warning is now raised instead.
