This is the CFS Hardware Synchronization Agent.
The sole responsibility of this deployment is to automatically inform CFS of any changes in hardware on the system. The agent polls both CFS and HMS and reconciles the difference so that CFS Batcher is able to schedule configuration changes to the system.
This repo uses some build helpers from the cms-meta-tools repo. See that repo for more details.
If you wish to perform a local build, you will first need to clone or copy the contents of the
cms-meta-tools repo to ./cms_meta_tools in the same directory as the Makefile. When building
on github, the cloneCMSMetaTools() function clones the cms-meta-tools repo into that directory.
For a local build, you will also need to manually write the .version, .docker_version (if this repo builds a docker image), and .chart_version (if this repo builds a helm chart) files. When building on github, this is done by the setVersionFiles() function.
The version of this repo is generated dynamically at build time by running the version.py script in cms-meta-tools. The version is included near the very beginning of the github build output.
In order to make it easier to go from an artifact back to the source code that produced that artifact, a text file named gitInfo.txt is added to Docker images built from this repo. For Docker images, it can be found in the / folder. This file contains the branch from which it was built and the most recent commits to that branch.
For helm charts, a few annotation metadata fields are appended which contain similar information.
For RPMs, a changelog entry is added with similar information.
When making a new release branch:
* Be sure to set the .x and .y files to the desired major and minor version number for this repo for this release.
* If an update_external_versions.conf file exists in this repo, be sure to update that as well, if needed.

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, and shell scripts. It does not include Jenkinsfiles 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.
