CandlePin and Subscription Manager Evaluation
by Nilesh Shah 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Hi, We want to evaluate CandlePin for following requirements 1) Managing in-house software licenses and subscriptions, its purchases, entitlements, usage and any deviations 2) We currently manage this data in excel files. Need a way by which we can bulk upload this data to CandlePin 3) We need reporting capabilities to understand software license usage, expiring licenses and subscriptions 4) Some Misc features like, email notification if over usage, email notifications for expiring software licenses etc... Along with CandlePin, we are also evaluating Kwok (http://www.kwoksys.com/) However CandlePin looks more mature. What we want to understand is, 1) While CandlePin does not have any UI, does Subscription manager is the only UI/CLI for CandlePin? Are there any other UI applications for CandlePin? 2) Does subscription manager provide all UI Capabilities? It means that does it support above mentioned functionality what we are looking at? Please consider emailing and reporting also here as mentioned above? 3) While using CandlePin and subscription manager, if we need any support in actual installation/deployment and use, do we get channelized support to address the issues we are facing? Can you please help us addressing above queries so that we can progress our evaluation? Thanks Nilesh

Koji repogen is finally working - send your builds
by Lukas Zapletal 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Guys, I know you are all tired of these kind of emails, but I was doing my best yesterday and even when I thought all is set up correctly, one builder was not ok and repo generation was all failing. Now it is all fixed hopefully. I would like to form a Koji NG Steering Committee (Yes, Minister!) across all our teams to drive reinstallation of Koji (or replacement with Copr). Each representative from Pulp, Candlepin, Katello please drop me a line and I will set up a Hangout or something like that next week. We need to identify needs of each team and select the best and reliable solution. -- Later, Lukas #lzap Zapletal

Koji is back online
by Lukas Zapletal 11 Sep '14

Hey, TL;DR - after another out-of-space incident, Koji is back online accepting builds. I created new 600 GB volume and copied over the content of the /mnt/koji plus moved there directories "packages" and "external-repos" from /mnt/tmp (ephemeral volume which was filling up). Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvde1 5.7G 3.0G 2.7G 53% / none 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 4.0G 44M 4.0G 2% /tmp /dev/xvdab1 591G 378G 183G 68% /mnt/koji /dev/xvdt1 50G 27G 21G 56% /mnt2/koji /dev/xvdm1 148G 108G 33G 77% /mnt2/xvdm /dev/xvdj1 367G 30G 322G 9% /mnt/tmp Old volumes xvdt1 and xvdm1 are mounted under /mnt2 and can be removed and returned to the EBS pool once we confirm koji is working again. First, I moved everything under single volume until I realized this was deadly slow. For building processes, local storage must be used. This was the reason why there was such a mess with symlinks. But due to fact that the instance was small flavor, ephemeral volume is small and limiting. Fortunately I found "packages" dirs together with "external-repos" 'moveable' to EBS volume (Koji is sensitive in multi-volume setups beacuse heavy use of hardlinks). Builds can be slower in this setup. We should have enough space now (183 G + 322 G). -- Later, Lukas #lzap Zapletal

Dropping i386 arch from koji.katello.org
by Lukas Zapletal 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hello all, we are having troubles with free space on koji.katello.org and the easiest way of resolving this is not adding more space but rather dropping i386 external repositories (Fedora, EPEL, RHEL). Foreman and Katello do not build against this arch and I suppose the same for Pulp and Candlepin. Please confirm and we are good to go, thanks. -- Later, Lukas #lzap Zapletal
