The build process

Dependencies

In general, Pacemaker 3 will support dependency versions that are available in supported releases of major Linux distributions (usually but not always including long-term support releases). The following are specifically targeted for support:

• Debian 10 "buster" and later
• RHEL 8.0 and later
• SUSE 15.0 and later
• Ubuntu 18 "bionic" and later

The only changes are these new minimum dependency versions:

• libdbus 1.5.12
• libgnutls 3.1.7 (also now required rather than optional)
• libqb 1.0.1
• libxml2 2.9.2
• pkg-config 0.28 (or pkgconf)
• Python 3.6
• rpm 4.14.0 (if building RPMs)

configure script

The following configure script options are no longer supported:

• --enable-legacy-links (deprecated since Pacemaker 2.1.0)
• --enable-compat-2.0 (introduced in 2.1.0 explicitly for the 2.1 series only)
• --enable-upstart (deprecated since Pacemaker 2.1.0)
• --with-gnutls (GnuTLS is now required and cannot be disabled)
• --with-nagios (deprecated since Pacemaker 2.1.6)

Additionally, the --with-concurrent-fencing-default option is now deprecated and defaults to true.

RPMs

• The RPMDEST Makefile variable may no longer be set to toplevel. The default of subtree, and explicit paths, are still supported.

• The spec file now longer supports the --with-doc and --without-doc options. Documentation will always be built.

• Pacemaker's logrotate script is now part of the pacemaker package instead of the pacemaker-cli package.

• The --with stonithd/--without stonithd spec file option, which controls support for Linux-HA fencing agents, has been renamed to --with linuxha/--without linuxha

• build.counter, used to set the RPM package version during development, is now looked for only in the rpm subdirectory, not the toplevel source directory.

Resource agents

• The obsolete and deprecated ocf:pacemaker:o2cb resource agent (which manages the no-longer-used ocf_controld.pcmk daemon for OCFS2 file systems) has been dropped.
