As an alternative -- can I just cp the "right" RPM into the package/switcher/RPMS directory during the setup API call? Then there's no need for multiple names, and whatever is in switcher/RPMS can be safely copied to /tftpboot/rpms and installed.
This assumes homogeneous distro (including version) between the head and compute nodes, but I think that's pretty safe for this version of OSCAR, right?
Yes... you'd probably want to do it at setup... I think that's before the RPM copy. If not, we can make sure setup is run before the RPM copy... that would solve most of these problems. There are functions that will return the distro, etc. of the server.
