cacti public
by Mike McGrath 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

So I changed cacti to use cacti internal auth (instead of http auth). So its public now: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/cacti/graph_view.php The bad news is I have to create users individually now in cacti. If you need access to alter things just let me know and I'll get you set up. -Mike

Suggestion for BitTorrent page - Fedora 7
by Julian Yap 31 May '07

31 May '07

The new downloads for Fedora 7 are different from previous releases. This gives you an initial 'Hmm' when deciding what to download. Suggest, adding description of media required for each torrent for Fedora 7. ie. Current: Fedora 7 i386 Proposed: Fedora 7 - single DVD image for i386 Otherwise you don't initially know if that 2.8G torrent requires 5 CDs or 1 DVD. This page is also linked from the front page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/Download#Understand It needs to be updated to be Fedora 7 specific. eg. Why would you want to download the Live CD image vs. the DVD image? What is not included in the CD image? - Julian

0-day bodhi
by Luke Macken 31 May '07

31 May '07

So, after about 20 hours of straight hacking, bodhi seems to be in fairly good shape at the moment (after rewriting/gutting most of it in the past 2 days). The first instance was/is deployed to app3, but was only able to take submissions as it cannot write to /mnt/koji. So I deployed bodhi on app5 and did a bunch of initial testing in a development environment with a local sqlite db. Everything seemed to work great ("everything" meaning mashing the repos and generating/sending update announcements. Other stuff like updateinfo.xml generation will have to be redesigned and reimplemented)). I changed the proxy config to point to app5, so hopefully that should propagate shortly and transparently switch over. So I threw together a Masher[0] for bodhi that should allow releng to queue up pushes as they please, and it will churn them out to /mnt/koji/mash/updates/f7-updates{,-testing}-YYMMDD.HHSS, and then symlink it to /mnt/koji/mash/updates/fc7-updates{,testing} when complete. From here an hourly sync script (that may or may not exist yet) will pick it up and it will eventually make it out to the mirrors. >From bodhi's end, it should be able to crunch out updates repos and send email notices around just fine. Some critical stuff that we need ASAP: o Access control. We need to make sure that only {,co-}maintainers can submit/modify/push their packages. It would be nice to be able to do this by calling the pkdb or koji, but the pkgdb doesn't have the API, and koji doesn't know about co-maintainers. Worse case scenario is we parse the owners.list ourselves. o Bodhi needs a client cert (instead of using mine) o Ability to submit/modify multiple updates at once. See my post on fedora-maintainers[1] o XML-RPC API and bodhi-client tool, for doing stuff from the command-line. As shiny as bodhi is, I'd personally rather stay out of firefox as much as possible. o updateinfo.xml.gz integration. The old-style updates pushing would insert/remove the extended metadata on the fly (and move it out of the way when running createrepo, then shove it back in). I'm thinking it would be fairly simple to iterate over the mashed repo and create/insert this metadata on the fly. I'm not sure how intensive of a process this will be, so we'll just have to try it and find out. That's all I can think of at the moment.. anyone have anything else that is a top priority for bodhi ? luke [0]: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/bodhi/browser/bodhi/masher.py [1]: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-May/msg01034.html

Apache tweak
by Damian Myerscough 30 May '07

30 May '07

I thought I would email everyone before touching the Apache server, plus check it was OK to go ahead and make the changes. I would like to try an optimize Apache before Thursday (Fedora 7 is release) to handle the traffic a bit better. I will be performing some benchmarking on the Apache server using Apache benchmark. I would also like to deploy mod_evasive which should help with the load on Apache. I will be attending the meeting this week, however I would like any responses via email if possible as the meeting is Thursday, and Fedora 7 is release then. -- Regards, Damian

[Fwd: fedora.redhat.com -> fedoraproject.org instead of the wiki]

I think this redirect request/fix is more of the Infra purview, right? -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Rahul Sundaram <sundaram(a)fedoraproject.org> > Someone in IRC noted that the redirect currently points to the wiki > which is obviously wrong even when it was first setup. Not to get side-tracked, but what was wrong with redirecting to the Wiki when the redirect was setup? > It should just > point to http://fedoraproject.org directly. Good point, thanks. Hope it's easy to do with the various mappings already done. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
