After approval in the last EPEL meeting [1], I have submitted an incompatible 
upgrade of singularity-ce to testing for EPEL 7, 8 & 9.

These updates upgrade singularity-ce from v3.11.5 to v4.1.1.

The following incompatibilities should be noted by users:

1) Some functionality previously provided by the `singularity remote` command 
is split into new `singularity registry` and `singularity keyserver` commands.
2) The `singularity remote add` command now sets a newly added remote as the 
default (unless suppressed). Previously the user had to set the default remote 
manually.
3) The deprecated and unmaintained `—vm` flag to start singularity inside a 
Virtual Machine has been removed.

4) Bind mounts are now performed in the order in which they are specified. 
Previously, image based bind mounts were performed before others.
5) Current working directory on the host is now created in the container, 
restoring a behaviour from Singularity <3.6.0 unless suppressed.
6) If the current directory paths on the container and host contains symlinks 
to different locations, the current working directory is not mounted.

Changes 1,2,3 are expected to have minimal impact, and 4,5,6 are likely to be 
considered bug fixes by many users.

No changes are required to existing configuration files for this update.

A complete description of changes and additions between v3.11 and v4.1.1 is 
available in the upstream documentation at https://sylabs.io/docs/

In the absence of any issues, the updates will be pushed to stable after a one 
week testing period has passed, with a follow-up notification here.

Cheers,

David Trudgian
