Cockpit 134
by 'Dominik Perpeet' 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-134.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 134. Login page is now translatable ------------------------------ The majority of Cockpit has long been translatable. Since the login page is a bit of a special case, it required some special attention to make that also play well with the language display settings. Take a look at the video below for a demo. Check out the Zanata link below, it's very easy to contribute translations to Cockpit. At this time our top 3 translations (>90%) are Polish (pl), Ukranian (uk) and Chinese (zh-CN). Every bit of help here is greatly appreciated and a big thank you to our contributors! Demo: https://youtu.be/_4jQ6NYSL-c Translations: https://fedora.zanata.org/project/view/cockpit?dswid=-8859 Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6013 Show message of the day on the System page ------------------------------------------ Cockpit now supports one more feature it was previously missing compared to the command line login: the |System| page now shows the current message of the day (|/etc/motd|). When dismissed by clicking on the |X| close button, the message is hidden until it changes. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/cockpit-motd.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5988 Expose fewer system service actions ----------------------------------- Cockpit previously exposed systemd unit actions such as |Reload or Try Restart| which are primarily intended for scripts. The dropdown list now only shows actions which are useful for interactive human usage: |Start|, |Stop|, |Restart| and |Reload|. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/cockpit-service-actions.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6063 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 134 is available for Fedora 25, but due to the Fedora 26 branch this won't become "stable": https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-134-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/134 Thanks, Dominik

Continuous delivery of release 132 failed and recovery
by Stef Walter 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

If you've been following on IRC, you may have noticed that releasing Cockpit 132 failed yesterday. Here's why, and how it's been solved. In general we want the entire release process to be completely automatic, with all failures detected before hand. Earlier this week I made a pull request that passed integration tests, but broke the continuous delivery: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5924 The symptom was that certain files we installed in 'make install' when they shouldn't have been installed there. But the root cause was that we were building RPMs differently during integration tests, and later during release: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/cockpit/logs/release-132/log To solve this problem I added patches to the release-132 branch to fix this problem, and then ran the continuous delivery scripts manually from that branch: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/tree/release-132 ... in the cockpit/infra-release container ... $ git fetch origin $ git checkout release-132 $ RELEASE_SINK= RELEASE_TAG=132 release-runner -v /usr/local/bin/major-cockpit-release What this does is use the 132 git tag to create a tarball, and then any commits after that are included in the SRPM as patches. So how do we prevent this from happening again? 1. Build RPMs during integration more like release: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5942 2. Cleanup the code related to 'make install' and 'make install-tests' https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5941 3. Document how to solve this in the future (this email). 4. I noticed that the release-dsc file does not consider patches the way that release-srpm does. This needs a fix, any takers? https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpituous/blob/master/release/release-… This wasn't a problem this time around because the patches did not affect debian builds. 5. Figure out how to test upgrading. Martin Pitt caught it this time, but it should have failed before going in: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5937 Cheers, Stef

Supporting ABRT in Cockpit
by Matej Marusak 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hi Cockpit people, A while ago the ABRT team presented [1] Cockpit module showing problems detected by ABRT and allowing users to report them. It was more less a proof of concept. But we are eager to finish this effort. After speaking with some members of the Cockpit team on DevConf we were advised to start by writing user stories. We did so and today I presented them on the wikipage of cockpit's github [2]. We would love to have a feedback from you. What do you think of this? Is it suitable for Cockpit? We are open-minded to yours ideas. Best regards, Matej ABRT 1: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/cockpit-devel@lists.fedorahost… 2: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/wiki/Feature:-ABRT

Cockpit 133
by 'Dominik Perpeet' 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-133.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 133. Remotely managed machines are now configured in /etc/cockpit/machines.d ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit plugins, other packages, admins, VM management software, or config management systems like Ansible/puppet/cloud-init might want to pre-configure machines for cockpit. Previously this information was stored in |/var/lib/cockpit/machines.json|, but now that information is stored in individual json files in |/etc/cockpit/machines.d|. Existing |machines.json| files are migrated automatically to the new format. Check out the documentation below for more information on the format and use. Documentation: http://cockpit-project.org/guide/133/feature-machines.html Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5963 Packages can register additional bridges ---------------------------------------- On the server side the |cockpit-bridge| connects to various system APIs. There are additional bridges for specific tasks that the main |cockpit-bridge| cannot handle, such as tasks that should be carried out with privilege escalation. These additional bridges can be registered in the |bridges| section of a package’s |manifest.json |file. Check out the documentation below for more information on the format and use. Documentation: http://cockpit-project.org/guide/133/packages.html#package-bridges Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5683 Split translations into individual packages ------------------------------------------- Behind the scenes there’s been a lot of work on making translations work more smoothly and future-proof. As part of this the translations have been split into the individual packages, which also means they can be updated per package in the future. Check out the Zanata link below, it’s very easy to contribute translations to Cockpit. At this time our top 3 translations (>90%) are Polish (pl), Ukranian (uk) and Chinese (zh-CN). Every bit of help here is greatly appreciated and a big thank you to our contributors!
