Not yet tracked in an issue

Ideas that are on the table but have no issue yet.

GPG keys: one signing key per module

The harmonized GPG model from xcp-hl#3 is implemented: offline master key with two signing subkeys (one for the RPMs, one for the ISO), public key published on keys.openpgp.org (see GPG signing). Remaining refinement: split the shared RPM subkey so each module has its own key: one for the xo-lite-ce RPM, one for the xoa-proxy RPM, one for the ISO.

Automated upstream version tracking

The buildorchestration Rust daemon already triggers and monitors all component builds on a daily timer, skips components whose latest GitHub release is already up to date, and diagnoses failed CI logs with a local LLM (Ollama). Still to do: detect new XCP-ng 8.x point releases and XO Lite version bumps and open a PR that updates the version pin (e.g. UPSTREAM_TAG in xolite-ce).

answerfile.xml automated install support

Provide an example answerfile.xml for fully unattended HL deployments (PXE boot / scripted provisioning). This requires the answerfile to be injected inside install.img (SquashFS), which the current build pipeline already supports.
