Software in infrastructure vs repositories
by Rahul Sundaram 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hi Has Fedora Infrastructure team consider a rule not to deploy any proprietary software and not even any software that is not available in the official Fedora repository? That would make things easier for ensuring good packaging, maintenance and licensing. Rahul

App3 unreachable
by Paulo Santos 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi guys, Looks like app3 is pingable but we are unable to ssh into it. Same goes if you telnet to port80 to test http connectivity. >From what i know both app3 and app4 should be reachable, since they are hosting mirrormanager, is this correct ? [santosp@bastion ~]$ telnet app3 80 Trying 10.8.34.61... telnet: connect to address 10.8.34.61: Connection timed out telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out [santosp@bastion ~]$ ssh -v app3 OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to app3 [10.8.34.61] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/fedora/santosp/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/fedora/santosp/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/fedora/santosp/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 (stalls until timeout) Thanks, Paulo

Distributing static content
by Mike McGrath 26 May '07

26 May '07

Over the last couple of weeks we've been using puppet to distribute static content across some of our application servers and proxy servers. Static content might include the new static webpage or an application like our accounts system. This has proved to be a bit of an issue. Puppet wasn't really designed to do this and as such puts a noticeable load on the boxes while running as well as causing longer runs. Puppet works for this but we're currently into it managing thousands of files and initial deploys take a long time :) In the past we'd discussed moving some things (like turbogears apps) around using rpms. We can do that with tg pretty easily. But what about other static content, images, things like that? This needs to be scriptable from start to finish, here's the options as I see them: 1. Straight nfs mount (boo) 2. nfs mount to cron copy the files 3. recursive wget to an http store somewhere 4. rsync via ssh keys or rsync server (I'm currently leaning towards this) 5. Figure out how to make puppet more efficient with large numbers of files. We've got a whole pool of sysadmins on this list. How do you deal with these issues in your current environments? -Mike

bodhi
by Luke Macken 25 May '07

25 May '07

So we're less than a week away from F7, so why not completely change the way updates are pushed? :) We're going to use mash[0] to compose our updates repo instead of managing it by hand. This removes the burden of multilib, repo-cleaning, and dep closure checking from bodhi. This means that we need to change the push process to be something like: - Move all submitted builds from dist-f7-updates-candidate to dist-f7-updates-testing in Koji - Run mash - Add/remove appropriate updates from updateinfo.xml and insert it into all of the repodata - Sync out to wallace, which will sync to the mirrors In theory, this should do the trick. The roadmap[1] to 1.0 should be fairly accurate now. So what we have left, aside from the new push process mentioned above, is: - ACLs. We need to make sure that all updates are submitted by the appropriate {,co-}maintainers. - Package signing stuff. Jesse pointed me to the sign_unsigned tool[2] that we could potentially integrate with to help do this. I won't be able to start hacking on this until monday, as I am graduating tomorrow and then moving on Sunday, so any help would be appreciated :) luke [0]: http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/mash;a=summary [1]: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/bodhi/roadmap [2]: http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=fedora/releng;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/sign_u…
