# Recommended update for warewulf4

Announcement ID: SUSE-RU-2024:1004-1  
Rating: important  
References:

  * bsc#1221133
  * bsc#1221886

  
Affected Products:

  * HPC Module 15-SP5
  * openSUSE Leap 15.5
  * SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 15 SP5

  
  
An update that has two fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for warewulf4 fixes the following issues:

  * Warewulf was updated to version 4.5.0:

  * Disks, partitions and file systems can set in the configration and if
    ignition is present in the container, changes to the disks will be made

  * Grub can be used as alternative boot method instead of iPXE. The grub
    binairy is extracted from the container and shim is executed before the
    grub. This enables secure boot
  * wwctl has now the genconfig subcommand which will print/create valid
    configurations
  * All paths e.g the overlay dir, can now be configured in warewulf.conf

  * Notable bug fixes:

  * Fixed a bug where profile tags were erroneously overridden by empty node
    values.

  * Fixed bug where tags from profiles weren't rendered.
  * All configuration overlays now live in `/var/lib/warewulf4/overlays`. The
    overlay templates now reside under `rootfs` in each top level directory.
    This allows the overlays to be maintained in git repositories without risk
    of including git meta information into the node images.

When updating the package, an attempt will be made to move all added or modified
overlay templates to this directory. After an update, check whether
`/usr/share/warewulf/overlays` still exists and what files have remained and
move these manually. * Aarch64 compute nodes boot properly, now (bsc#1221133). *
Package Changes:

    * `dnsmasq` may be used instead of the ISC `dhcpd`. Specify `dnsmasq` as package to install when installing `warewulf4`:

    zypper in warewulf4 dnsmasq

  * Client configuration example templates have been moved to the package
    documentation.

  * Sub-package dependencies got fixed to avoid mixing package components from
    different versions.
  * The script generating ssh keys for users now perperly identifies 1000 as the
    minimal user UID (boo#1221886).
