The purpose of this tool is to inform the configuration management framework service (CMF) of the initial unconfigured state of a node during boot. This allows CFS to bring the node into a state of known good configuration during initial clean boot, as well, to restore configuration to prescribed configuration in the event of a loss of power.
The responsibility of this client is to successfully communicate that the node is without configuration ONCE to CFS.
This repo uses some build helper scripts from the cms-meta-tools repo.
We use SemVer. The version is generated at build time by the version.py script in the cms-meta-tools repo, and then written to the .version file.
All other files either read from that file or have the version string written to them at build time based on the information in the update_versions.conf file.
Since the migration to github, there is also some additional version massaging that takes place in Jenkinsfile.github.
In order to make it easier to go from a version number back to the source code that produced that version, some information about the most recent git commit is added at build time to build artifacts. For RPMs, it is added to the changelog. For Helm charts, it is added as annotations metadata. And for Docker images, it is written to gitInfo.txt in the root of the container. This is done using the git_info tool in cms-meta-tools, which is called automatically by the runBuildPrep script.

When making any modifications to a file that has a Cray/HPE copyright header, that header must be updated to include the current year.
When creating any new files in this repo, if they contain source code, they must have the HPE copyright and license text in their header, unless the file is covered under someone else's copyright/license (in which case that should be in the header). For this purpose, source code files include Dockerfiles, Ansible files, RPM spec files, and shell scripts. It does not include Jenkinsfiles, OpenAPI/Swagger specs, or READMEs.
When in doubt, provided the file is not covered under someone else's copyright or license, then it does not hurt to add ours to the header.
