Is gcc-gfortran really required?

I think various tests in DIB expect DIB_RELEASE to be just the major version?

Can we move these into a DIB element? Leaving all packages in the image is a security anti-pattern - at least let's remove them as a final step?

Build Rocky Linux 9.6 + DOCA OFED 3.5.0.
Use a simplified model for containerfile installation with fewer dependencies pulled in.

- Around line 8-9: Remove the nested RUN from the continued Dockerfile command,
and chain dnf update -y to the chkconfig installation with && so an update
failure fails the build.
- Line 37: Update the DOCA repository configuration so GPG signature
verification is enabled, and ensure the build imports or references the trusted
DOCA signing key before installing packages from that repository.
Walkthrough

Adds a Rocky Linux 9.6 container build that installs DOCA OFED 3.5.0 packages. Adds a public qcow2 image configuration with cloud-init settings, a UEFI/GPT layout, separate LVM filesystems, and default Dracut modules.

Changes: Rocky Linux 9.6 DOCA OFED image

Layer / File(s) Summary
Container build and DOCA package installation
containerfiles/rocky-9.6-doca-ofed-3.5.0
Adds Rocky Linux 9.6 setup, the DOCA 3.5.0 repository, and DOCA OFED package installation. It selects the highest installed kernel-core version for doca-kernel-support, installs the generated kernel-repository RPM, then installs userspace and kernel packages with the DOCA repository disabled.
Image definition and disk layout
examples/images.yml
Adds the image to the configured list and defines its build settings, packages, and cloud-init configuration. Defines a 20 GiB GPT layout with EFI, boot, and LVM partitions, separate logical volumes, and default Dracut modules for crypt, LVM, and mdraid.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 8b9c2

The image build silently skips its package update and installs DOCA packages without signature verification. Correct the command chain and configure trusted package verification before merging.

The PR adds a Rocky Linux 9.6 container build with DOCA OFED 3.5.0 (containerfiles/rocky-9.6-doca-ofed-3.5.0) and a matching image entry in examples/images.yml (openstack_image_rocky_96_doca_ofed_350). The title is short, specific, and free of noise. It does not name the version (9.6 or 3.5.0), but that detail is not required.

Chain the update with && and remove the stray RUN on line 8.

Line 8 starts a new RUN inside the previous command's continuation. The shell runs RUN as a missing command, so dnf update -y never executes. The ; then makes the chkconfig install set the exit status, so a failed update would also succeed once the chain is fixed. Use && so an update failure fails the build.

Enable GPG verification for the DOCA repository.

The doca repository sets gpgcheck=0, and no step in the build imports a signing key or verifies package signatures. The DOCA packages installed from this repository, and the Glance image built from them, are therefore not signature-checked. The image is uploaded as a public image, so a substituted package would reach every user of the image.
