FC-6 box rebuild's
by Dennis Gilmore 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

One of the takeaway items from the meeting on thursday was the need to rebuild all boxes that are currently running FC-6 before FC-6 is EOL'd Right now we know we need to rebuild the buildsystem. which includes all builders and the koji hub. Some of the app servers need rebuilding. We need to test the applications running on FC-6 on their new platform wether it is RHEL5 or F-8 right now i would like to do the buildsystem on the weekend of Dec 1-2. Volunteers to help would be appreciated as well as identifying what else needs migration and testing Dennis

comps corruption.. again.
by Luke Macken 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374801 Once again, the checksums match up when they hit /mnt/koji/mash/updates, but from there they get synced out to our mirrors corrupted. We may be experiencing some corruption on the master mirror, but I don't believe I have the access to verify. luke

Mirror Manager Backup
by Warren Togami 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Just a quick thought after tonight's outage. If *everything* is down, the most important thing to have up is the mirrormanager since all of our users depend on it on a regular basis. It might be a relatively easy thing to periodically replicate the entire mirrormanager database over to an external box (like @ serverbeach) so we can repoint DNS and bring it back online at moment's notice. Just a thought. Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

RFE: torrents.fp.o -> torrent.fp.o?
by Chris Weyl 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

>From the "d'oh!" category: I tend to go reflexively to torrents.fedoraproject.org rather than torrent.fp.o, always resulting in a momentary twinge of panic when I get the "server not found" alert. Any chance we can setup a "torrents" subdomain and just have it redirect (dns alias, apache, whatever) to torrent? My brain would appreciate it :) Thanks- -Chris -- Chris Weyl Ex astris, scientia

F8 postmortem
by Matt Domsch 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Here are a few thoughts on the F8 release, from the mirror manager perspective. :-) Handoff from rel-eng to IS to put on masters worked great, all the bits were landed by Monday morning. Content on the masters wasn't hardlinked at first, which caused some churn and unnecessary downloading. A tree that was hardlinked from rawhide, carrying only i386 and x86_64, would have downloaded only 12GB instead of 109GB for the full unhardlinked tree. Let's be sure the tree is hardlinked. Permissions on dirs/files on the mirror should be revisited. All directories should be 0750 and files should be 0640 before the bitflip, to prevent leaks. vsftpd will serve a file with a known name and perms 0644 even if the directory or one above it is 0750. Apache won't. Let's be sure to use these permissions. Release day bitflip was 30 minutes later than expected, which caused churn for our mirroradmins. Can this be a scheduled cronjob? I'd like a way to be notified automatically when changes, such as the bitflip or content landing, has actually been snapmirrored everywhere. After this message is received, I'd then like to be able to send email to the mirror admins. Is this possible? all in all it's been smooth, just a few hiccups.

yum depsolver patch for releng1
by Luke Macken 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

As most are probably aware, we are hitting a bug[0] in the yum depsolver when trying to mash dist-f7-updates-testing. Tim Lauridsen wrote a patch[1] that seems to fix the problem and allows us to compose updates-testing again (WOOOOOOOO!). Tim sent the patch to yum-devel for review, but in the mean time I'd be happy to apply this to the yum on releng1 so we can get these repos back under testing. What do you guys think? luke [0]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=360291 [1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=360291#c24

Bad drive on app4
by Mike McGrath 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

We've got a bad drive on app4, this box is scheduled to be removed soon but hasn't been yet and, is not under warranty. I consider this to be of emergency in importance, and I will be finding a different location to build app4 immediately. Getting the new app server up is of medium risk but not having it up for tomorrow is of HIGH risk as it would cause all mirror traffic to go through app3, and only app3. -Mike

syncStatic.sh Change
by Ricky Zhou 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

I had to make a last-minute change to syncStatic.sh - the counter image said "1 days" instead of "1 day." Since I had frozen it to a single commit, it'll just wget the updated image from fedorapeople.org- of course, I'll remove this before pushing the F8 site. Next time, I'll branch fedora-web instead of locking to a commit to make these sorts of changes much easier. Thanks, Ricky
