bodhi 0.6.0 with EPEL support
by Luke Macken 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hey all, I just deployed bodhi 0.6.0 to app1-6 and releng{2,1.stg}. This release contains patches from both Dennis Gilmore and myself to support pushing updates for EPEL. I just submitted my first EPEL update into bodhi, so things seem to be working properly so far. It should be safe to start queueing EPEL updates, and we'll try doing a small push early next week. Please file bugs here: https://fedorahosted.org/bodhi/newticket Thanks, luke

current orphan packages in EPEL
by Kevin Fenzi 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

I meant to post this a while back. This is the current list of orphaned packages in EPEL. Some of them were retired for good reason, see the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Retired_packages page to find out if thats the case. Some of them simply need new maintainers to step up and give them love. ;) SDL_image abcde apt cd-discid chrpath csync2 cvs2cl djvulibre fakechroot fedora-package-config-apt fedora-package-config-smart freetennis fxload gedit-plugins ginac gkrellm gkrellm-volume greylistd gtkhtml38 hellanzb homestead horde imp ingo jeta js kronolith libFoundation libburn libcdaudio libid3tag libmodplug mach ms-sys nopaste otrs perl-Class-MethodMaker perl-Text-CharWidth perl-Text-WrapI18N po4a python-dbsprockets python-paramiko pytz reciteword redet redet-doc scim-chewing scim-hangul shapelib smart sos sqlite svn2cl synaptic tpm-tools turba viewmtn vpnc windowlab Before taking ownership of any of these, please check the retired packages page, and consider contacting the former maintainer for more information. kevin

Fail2ban + Shorewall Question
by BJ Dierkes 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hello all, I bring this to the list being that the issue isn't necessarily a bug, rather a concern about implementation. Per the documentation [http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/MANUAL_0_8 ] fail2ban is _capable_ of supporting shorewall (among other things) and even states that "the following software is optional but recommended" with reference to shorewall. However, fail2ban does not _require_ shorewall to function. That said, having a 'Requires: shorewall' in the fail2ban spec seems unnecessary and in my opinion improper. Breaking the package out into a sub package doesn't seem necessary either... being that the only file(s) I see that could be split off would be: ]# rpm -ql fail2ban | grep shorewall /etc/fail2ban/action.d/shorewall.conf Regardless, for the sake of those that have no interest in shorewall (and in particular those that want to avoid having to support shorewall) I'd like to suggest that fail2ban-shorewall be broken off in a sub-package so that the dependency of shorewall is only enacted when desired. Thoughts? Thank you for your time. --- derks

by Dennis Gilmore 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

if you are the owner of one of the following builds please make sure that you have created an update for it in bodhi either via "make update" in your cvs checkout or via https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates builds that don't get updates created will never get pushed to stable.

EPEL Bug Day July 11, 2009 0-23:59 UTC
by Michael Stahnke 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

EPEL bug day is fast approaching and we are looking for your help. This is a chance to get involved with EPEL and help make the overall product a little better. Goal: Reduce or update bugs from EPEL. Strategy: The vast majority of EPEL bugs have been classified loosely into three categories. * ActualBug -- A real bug, often times with upstream software issues, or perhaps packaging dependencies. To triage, see if you can reproduce, ask for more input, and in general see what can be done to fix it. * PackageBranch -- This is a request to get something into EPEL that currently isn't there. To triage, see if the package has been branched in CVS. Perhaps the maintainer simply hasn't built it yet. Or, if it requires dependencies, contact the maintainer for those dependencies, open another bug, and create the proper relationship between them. * UpdatePackage -- Requests to update packages can be difficult in EPEL, but each should be evaluated. Ask for reasons why the update is required (security is an extremely valid reason). Sometimes the old version is no longer maintained upstream, etc. Keep in mind that updates that cause breakage should at least be mentioned on the epel-announce mailing list. Feel free to take a bug and help out. It's a 24 hour event, and we have about 135 bugs. If we can get 6 bugs an hour triage and updated, that would be all of them. Event coordination and collaboration will occur in #epel on irc.freenode.net. (Also you don't have to wait until July 11 to start) More Information: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL_Bug_Day_July_2009 Current Bug List * http://tr.im/epelbugs

New Mailing lists reminder
by Kevin Fenzi 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Just a quick reminder/note that there are several new mailing lists in EPEL land: epel-announce: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/epel-announce A low volume list that contains announcements of interest to users of EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux). (ie, this is a list to tell end users of EPEL to subscribe to for occasional announcements of interest to them). and epel-package-announce: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/epel-package-announce This mailing list is used for announcing package updates for the Fedora EPEL Project. (This is the list that bodhi sends announcements about security updates, and other stable updates. Subscribe to this if you want to know as soon as packages are pushed to stable). Tell your friends to subscribe today! kevin
