Update to version 3.2.1:
This point release fixes the following bugs:
- Allows users to join instances with non-suid workflow
- Removes false warning when seccomp is disabled on the host
- Fixes an issue in the terminal when piping output to commands
- Binds NVIDIA persistenced socket when `--nv` is invoked
Improve integration with SUSE Products: add support to create Singularity
images with SLE.
* Newer SUSE versions use a different path for the RPM database.
* When the installation succeeds by an installation scriptlet fails zypper
returns error code 107. Don't treat this as an error.
* In order to specify a repository GPG key, add support for multi line
variables.
* In order to specify a list of additional repos, add support to 'indexed'
variables.
* Improve handling of SUSE repositires:
- For SLE, use SUSEConnect to get all product repos.
- Allow to specify a repository GPG key.
- Allow to specify additional installation repositories.
- Add group 'singularity', fix ownerships.
Updated to singularity v3.2.0
* CVE-2019-11328: Instance files are now stored in user's home directory
for privacy and many checks have been added to ensure that a user can't
manipulate files to change `starter-suid` behavior when instances are
joined (many thanks to Matthias Gerstner from the SUSE security team for
finding and securely reporting this vulnerability) (boo#1128598)
* New features / functionalities
- Introduced a new basic framework for creating and managing plugins
- Added the ability to create containers through multi-stage builds
- Created the concept of a Sylabs Cloud "remote" endpoint and added the
ability for users and admins to set them through CLI and conf files
- Added caching for images from Singularity Hub
- Made it possible to compile Singularity outside of `$GOPATH`
- Added a json partition to SIF files for OCI configuration when
building from an OCI source
- Full integration with Singularity desktop for MacOS code base
* New Commands
- Introduced the `plugin` command group for creating and managing
plugins.
* Introduced the `remote` command group to support management of
Singularity endpoints.
* Added to the `key` command group to improve PGP key management.
* Added the `Stage: ` keyword to the definition file header and the
`from ` option/argument pair to the `%files` section to
support multistage builds
* Deprecated / removed commands
- The `--token/-t` option has been deprecated in favor of the
`singularity remote` command group
* Changed defaults / behaviors
- Ask to confirm password on a newly generated PGP key
- Prompt to push a key to the KeyStore when generated
- Refuse to push an unsigned container unless overridden with
`--allow-unauthenticated/-U` option
- Warn and prompt when pulling an unsigned container without the
`--allow-unauthenticated/-U` option For more information check:

* New Commands
- New hidden `buildcfg` command to display compile-time parameters - Added support for `LDFLAGS`, `CFLAGS`, `CGO_` variables in build system

logging
* Removed Commands

- Repeated binds no longer cause Singularity to exit and fail, just warn
instead
- Corrected typos and improved docstrings throughout
- Removed warning when CWD does not exist on the host system
- Added support to spec file for RPM building on SLES 11
Update to singularity 3.1.0 what is reimplementaion in go so this is a

* build stripped executable
- Change from /var/singularity to /var/lib/singularity
- Fix warning on bash-completion file about non-executible script.
- Add bash completions directory to file list for suse_version < 1500 to
