mirrormanager causes python error
by Thomas Lenggenhager 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

Hi I succeeded in adding my host. However, now I can no longer access mirror.switch.ch I added. When I request https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/host/14 I always get the following error page: 500 Internal error The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. Page handler: <function _wrapper at 0x2dc6398> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cherrypy/_cphttptools.py", line 105, in _run self.main() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cherrypy/_cphttptools.py", line 254, in main body = page_handler(*virtual_path, **self.params) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/identity/conditions.py", line 275, in _wrapper return fn( *args, **kw ) File "<string>", line 3, in default File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/controllers.py", line 334, in expose output = database.run_with_transaction( File "<string>", line 5, in run_with_transaction File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/database.py", line 352, in sa_rwt retval = dispatch_exception(e,args,kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/database.py", line 341, in sa_rwt retval = func(*args, **kw) File "<string>", line 5, in _expose File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/controllers.py", line 351, in <lambda> mapping, fragment, args, kw))) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/controllers.py", line 378, in _execute_func output = errorhandling.try_call(func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/errorhandling.py", line 73, in try_call return func(self, *args, **kw) File "/home/fedora/mdomsch/mirrormanager/mirrors/mirrors/controllers.py", line 62, in default return action(item['values'], **params) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/identity/conditions.py", line 275, in _wrapper return fn( *args, **kw ) File "<string>", line 3, in read File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/controllers.py", line 330, in expose output = func._expose(func, accept, func._allow_json, File "<string>", line 5, in _expose File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/controllers.py", line 351, in <lambda> mapping, fragment, args, kw))) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/controllers.py", line 391, in _execute_func return _process_output(output, template, format, content_type, mapping, fragment) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/controllers.py", line 82, in _process_output fragment=fragment) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbogears/view/base.py", line 131, in render return engine.render(**kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/turbokid/kidsupport.py", line 174, in render return t.serialize(encoding=self.defaultencoding, output=format, fragment=fragment) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/__init__.py", line 299, in serialize raise_template_error(module=self.__module__) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/__init__.py", line 297, in serialize return serializer.serialize(self, encoding, fragment, format) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/serialization.py", line 105, in serialize text = ''.join(self.generate(stream, encoding, fragment, format)) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/serialization.py", line 630, in generate for ev, item in self.apply_filters(stream, format): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/serialization.py", line 163, in format_stream for ev, item in stream: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/parser.py", line 219, in _coalesce for ev, item in stream: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/serialization.py", line 478, in inject_meta_tags for ev, item in stream: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/parser.py", line 177, in _track for p in stream: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/filter.py", line 30, in apply_matches item = stream.expand() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/parser.py", line 106, in expand for ev, item in self._iter: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/parser.py", line 177, in _track for p in stream: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid/parser.py", line 219, in _coalesce for ev, item in stream: File "/home/fedora/mdomsch/mirrormanager/mirrors/mirrors/templates/host.py", line 295, in _pull AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name' Error location in template file '/home/fedora/mdomsch/mirrormanager/mirrors/mirrors/templates/host.kid' between line 69, column 55 and line 70, column 53: ... <span py:replace="c.category.name">Category Name</span> ... Thanks for fixing it. For the Country field, some guidance would be helpful. Full English Name, two letter ISO code or what to use? In addition to allowed countries you could also add something like world-region or continent to group the entries, when the list grows. Africa, Asia - Pacific, Europe, Middle East, North America, South America. Otherwise, the interface is pretty straight forward to use. Regards, Thomas BTW: I tried to use an accented character in the comments field. That caused also a Python error. So I removed it again. I wanted to write 'On Internet2 & GÉANT2' and now I only wrote 'On Internet2 & GEANT' without accent on the E. That works. -- Thomas Lenggenhager http://www.switch.ch/ SWITCH The Swiss Education & Research Network Zurich, Switzerland Tel: +41 44 268 1505

Google Summer of Code Project
by ROBERT KROMER 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

Hello Fedora Infrastructure members, I am planning on applying to the Fedora project through the Google Summer of Code program. I am interested in taking on the "Web infrastructure to help pup and puplet" suggestion. However, before I fully commit and write the project proposal I was wondering if I could scrape up some more information about what is wanted. Are we talking overhauling pup/puplet to create a nicer interface/more informative notification system or just the infrastructure to support it? Some information on the current setup would be helpful as well so I can write a very exact proposal. Thanks for your time! ~Robert Kromer

Smolt deployment
by Mike McGrath 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

This is mostly for the TurboGears guys in the group. We've discussed this a little in the past but I wanted to get something down for sure before all of our stuff goes live. Whats going to be our official deployment method? Personally I'd vote mod_python though I haven't actually done this yet. Does using mod_python still require a proxypass to a tg port? I'd tend towards mod_python just because it would behave just like the rest of our apps do though I know toshio has some neat script that makes it behave that way too. What do you guys think? mod_python may be too complex for what we're trying to accomplish. -Mike

FAS Frontpage: Confusion Reduction
by Warren Togami 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

I was just attempt to walk through a RH engineer through the FAS account creation process. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ This page is confusing to a new visitor because the action links on the left and right distract from the important stuff in the center. In the long-term, we need to put some thought into improving the user interface experience across the entire infrastructure. But in the short-term, this page would be less confusing if the side bars were just removed. That way nothing distracts from the center content. This should be a simple change to the CSS. Mike, could you take care of this quick change? For my own reference so I can make changes like this later myself... Where is this in CVS? Where is this in production?

Smolt I18N
by Jeffrey Ollie 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

I've started working on internationalization for Smolt. It's not ready to commit to the main smolt repository, as it's not complete and I'm sure I've committed some boneheaded mistakes because I've never done any internationalizing of code before. I've set up a separate Mercurial repository here. You can access it through the web here: http://hg.ocjtech.us/smolt-i18n or check out a copy of the code: hg clone http://hg.ocjtech.us/smolt-i18n Jeff

Self-Introduction: Kostas Georgiou
by Kostas Georgiou 18 Mar '07

18 Mar '07

Never had to do this before but here it is.... I am a Unix sysadmin since ~1995 although it's almost exclusively Linux (RHEL/Fedora) for quite some time now. In my day job I am managing a few hundred machines, mainly HPC related but also web/email/nfs/db/dns/dhcp/kerberos/ldap/+WhateverTheUsersRequireThisWeek. I'll be more than happy to help with anything really :). From a look at the schedules page Config Management is interesting (I am already using puppet in my day job) but everything else seems interesting as well :) Cheers, Kostas

Introduction
by John Saalwaechter 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

Hello all, My name is John Saalwaechter. I'm a long-time RH/Fedora user (since 1995). I do unix sysadmin and systems engineering work in Indianapolis, with a primary focus on Linux since 1999. I concentrate on HPC Linux clusters and systems integration for a large research environment. I saw the request for FI help recently, and I'm interested in getting involved. For testing I've got access to basic PCs plus VMware. I looked through the FI schedule, and the yum delta rpm project looks intriguing to me. Cheers, John key id B61184CA key fingerprint = F0EF 0660 419A 290A 1E86 3BBA 913F A66B B611 84CA -- saalwaechter(a)gmail.com

intro
by Jason 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Hi gang, my name is Jason Taylor, I have been using RH/Fedora for a while now (RH 5.x) and while not nearly as competent as most folks on this list, I would like to do what I can to give back to something that has helped me immensely. I have been around *nix for about 10 years and have worked on Solaris/AIX/various Linux flavors in that time (network admin type stuff), also at one time fancied myself a competent CNE (Netware) have also been a network admin for some sizable MS networks (ugh). I have also done some Cisco router/switch installs/config. I enjoy the security aspect of network administration, SSL/Firewalls/PGP/data encryption. I don't have any programming experience per se, I have just hacked stuff to do what I needed it to when the occasion arose. So, that all being said point me in a direction and if I can help I will be more than happy to. -Jason

CIA - The open source informant
by Dimitris Glezos 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Hey all. I happened to notice that Fedora is not one of the projects reported at http://cia.navi.cx/. Basically, it's an open-source notification system: it collects events from SCMs (via email or XMLRPC) and reports them on the page (RSS) and on the IRC via a bot. How about adding Fedora there? It should be as simple as adding a (ready-made) script on our SCMs [1]. Seems that Bugzilla and Trac clients are on their way. -d [1]: http://cia.navi.cx/doc/clients/ -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
