Supporting EPEL Builds in Koji
by Mike Bonnet 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hi. I've written up a proposal for a way to support EPEL builds in Koji. It's not the only way we could do this, but I think it's doable with a reasonable amount of effort, and has the side-effect of greatly simplifying the Koji setup process for a lot of people (by removing the need to bootstrap/import an entire distro of packages into your private Koji instance). You can view the proposal here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji/EPELSupport It's fairly detailed regarding the data model changes necessary, so if you're not familiar with the Koji codebase you can skip those parts. Questions and comments welcome. Thanks, Mike

Can pungi put packages in the iso that are not installed?
by Joe Nall 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

Can pungi put packages/groups in the iso that are not installed? Context: I'm building spin using pungi that includes packages that get installed in a second pass in a manner similar to firstboot. The packages require a number of services to be running to properly configure themselves and can't be grouped in the initial install. I want to include the packages in the repo, but not install them until the system has more services running. joe

OpenSuSE Buildsystem
by Mike McGrath 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

I've been talking with some of the SuSE guys and we agree there's some overlap or at least coordination between their buildsystem and ours. The first obvious low hanging fruit is common macros. For those who wonder "why would we help OpenSuSE?" the answer is common goals, and better user experiences. The problem is time and coordination. So on a whim I thought I'd send this email out. Do we have any contributors out there who are both members of Fedora and SuSE who would be willing to lead this charge, find similarities and places for coordination? -Mike

Pungi 2.0 in F9
by Bryan Kearney 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Are there any plans to bring 2.0 back into F9? I am working on an appliance building tool which sits on top of pungi, appliance-creator, EC2, and some other tools. I have it working on F10... but the API is readically different then from F9. -- bk

by Chen Baozi 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

i have rebuilt a fedora 9 distribution with pungi in Fedora 9. but it seems that there is something wrong with the font in the anaconda graphic mode while installing. no characters can be seen during installation except the unknown "□". here is the error message below: 15:10:33 WARNING: step installtype does not exist 15:10:33 WARNING: step confirminstall does not exist 15:10:33 WARNING: setup complete does not exist 15:10:34 WARNING: /usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py:1460: PangoWarning: No fonts found: This probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. you may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration files. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org domain="anaconda") 15:10:34 WARNING: /usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py:1460: PangoWarning: failed to find shape engine, expect ugly output. enginetype="PangoRender", script='latin' domain="anaconda") 15:10:34 INFO : moving (1) to step welcome and i have checked the stage2.img. it seems there is no /usr/share/fonts/ directory. i think it is something wrong with anaconda-runtime, but i don't know where.

Cockroach task
by Bryce 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

(refers to koji-1.2.6-1) -scratch head- Koji seems to have derailed itself and created an unkillable task Although it has built the rpms, it then seems to have done something odd to itself because it's entered a failed state but the koji system still believes that it is still building the package State failed ... Result RetryError: unable to retry call 7 (method host.importChangelog) for session 18591 I've tried koji cancel, and a few of the less savory koji call api commands but it refuses to accept that the task is dead Ideas? I assume that for some reason it's been unable to communicate with the postgres database but I don't see a means to tell it to retry or just plain abandon the whole task Phil =--=
