spinifex.target, the daemon and vpcd now order against ovsdb-server,
ovs-vswitchd and ovn-controller instead of Debian's openvswitch-switch,
which EL does not have, and want spinifex-hostnet without requiring it.
A unit test fails when a unit names an OVS or OVN unit outside that set.
setup-ovn.sh takes the OVS umbrella and the OVN central units from the
distro.sh probes, runs OVS and OVN as root where /etc/sysconfig sets their
users, and hooks the socket-permission helper onto ovs-vswitchd (and EL's
ovn-northd), so a standalone restart of either OVS daemon keeps the sockets
usable by the service users. It stops when an OVS or OVN unit the
installed Spinifex units name is not installed.
setup.sh accepts Oracle Linux 10.2+ (<11) on x86_64 with a running UEK R8
kernel and an x86-64-v3 CPU, beside Debian 13+ and Ubuntu 24.04+, and parses
os-release instead of sourcing it. New scripts/lib/distro.sh probes the
package manager, OVS umbrella unit, OVN central layout, CA trust store and
OVN logrotate file; it ships in the release tarball, is installed to
/usr/local/share/spinifex/lib/, and is sourced by setup-ovn.sh,
uninstall-spx.sh and dev-install.sh. setup.sh and node-reset.sh carry inline
copies, kept identical by scripts/lib/distro_test.sh.
New runtime/host/hostos resolves the QEMU binary, CA trust store and boot
tools by probing, naming every candidate on failure. Callers are wired in
later stages.
