Update of goconserver is not tracked with xCAT-core/dep changes

[whowutwut]

Looks like there's no automatic update of goconserver per our instructions for updating xCAT product.

Currently we document, to update xCAT (using yum):

yum update "*xCAT*" "*xcat*" 

This will not pull in any goconserver updates...

How do we feel we should handle this?

I was able to update using: yum update "*xCAT*" "*xcat*" "goconserver*"

@whowutwut , as you said, user has to upgrade goconserver manually.
The habit of xcat to setup or upgrade dependency packages rely on the RPM or DEB heavily, but this is not flexible enough especially when installing or upgrading a xcat cluster.

My opinion is that some work of xcat should be move to the orchestration tool like ansible or others. For example, if we ship a playbook to setup or upgrade xcat, user could simply specify something like below to decide which one to setup.

dependencies:
  console: goconserver, confluent or conserver
  openbmc: perl or python
  xcat-inventory: true

The steps about CA , certificate generation could also be moved to the playbook.
