I've got the ttl for fedoraproject.org set to 60 seconds right now. It seems fairly responsive. I've been able to direct traffic to the tummy site or PHX site pretty much at will. 2007-09-27T14:00:13 <mmcgrath> We've been balancing between the two for the last week or so without issue. 2007-09-27T14:00:28 <mmcgrath> The last two pieces of that are to get the rest of the hosts on the VPN and setup our secondary VPN site. 2007-09-27T14:00:29 <jima> cool 2007-09-27T14:01:01 <mmcgrath> basically we're going to have two vpn servers one in PHX one, as a backup, elsewhere. If one fails, the others will automatically connect to the other one within 20 seconds. 2007-09-27T14:01:24 <mmcgrath> I'm going to see what problems that will cause, like will TCP be interupted/ etc. 2007-09-27T14:01:31 <jima> any idea where "elsewhere" will be? 2007-09-27T14:01:31 <mmcgrath> any questions comments on that before we move on? 2007-09-27T14:02:01 <mmcgrath> jima: initially it will be at the denver colo with tummy.com though I'll be moving it somewhere else if we get some space for it. 2007-09-27T14:02:10 * mmcgrath notes - http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/GlobalNetwork.png 2007-09-27T14:02:22 <mmcgrath> Ok, next ticket. 2007-09-27T14:02:30 *** ricky has joined #fedora-meeting 2007-09-27T14:02:35 * ricky is here now. 2007-09-27T14:02:38 <mmcgrath> .title https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/170 2007-09-27T14:02:40 <mmcgrathbot> mmcgrath: #170 (Hosting respins) - Fedora Infrastructure - Trac 2007-09-27T14:02:48 <mmcgrath> ricky: yo 2007-09-27T14:03:20 <mmcgrath> So I think there's been some miscommunication or me just not paying attention to whats going on with the respins. We've been talking about it a bit on f-a-b. 2007-09-27T14:03:20 <dgilmore> mmcgrath: do we have space for hosting random spins? 2007-09-27T14:03:24 <jima> mmcgrath: careful, that map is a tad bit depressing. ;) 2007-09-27T14:03:28 <lmacken> has anyone looked at wevisor, and what it offers ? 2007-09-27T14:03:28 *** JSchmitt has quit IRC 2007-09-27T14:04:11 <mmcgrath> dgilmore: we have spce for hosting *some* space now - 242G 123G 107G 54% /srv 2007-09-27T14:04:13 <abadger1999> lmacken: wevisor needs some work. The RH interns left and it's been stalled. 2007-09-27T14:04:23 <mmcgrath> I'm working to aquire much more space in the 1T range. 2007-09-27T14:04:24 <abadger1999> lmacken: Otherwise, its mostly done. 2007-09-27T14:04:42 <VileGent> fyi fedora unity has respins to go now 2007-09-27T14:04:44 *** LetoTo has left #fedora-meeting 2007-09-27T14:04:48 <mmcgrath> jeremy: is this a releng thing only or is this something infrastructure could or should be helping out with? 2007-09-27T14:05:07 <dgilmore> mmcgrath: can that grow? 2007-09-27T14:05:11 <mmcgrath> I get emails from time to time about it and the whole process is a bit murky in my mind. 2007-09-27T14:05:17 <abadger1999> lmacken: It's current goal, though is just to get you a kickstart file. You still have to pass the kickstart through pungi and other tools to get a spin out. 2007-09-27T14:05:29 <lmacken> abadger1999: ah, gotcha. 2007-09-27T14:05:30 <dgilmore> mmcgrath: i dont want to see us get to the point where we have to say sorry we cant host things anymore 2007-09-27T14:05:33 <mmcgrath> dgilmore: the 1T server or the 242G we have? 2007-09-27T14:05:50 <dgilmore> mmcgrath: well for future needs? 2007-09-27T14:06:01 <mmcgrath> dgilmore: I say we do a trial (we talked about it a bit on FAB) with first come first surve until we get a more dedicated source. 2007-09-27T14:06:01 <dgilmore> i know its not accurate but really both 2007-09-27T14:06:03 <nirik> could jigdo help here? 2007-09-27T14:06:50 <dgilmore> mmcgrath: ok. as long as we communicate that 2007-09-27T14:07:25 <mmcgrath> nirik: does anyone really use jigdo though? - http://www.google.com/trends?q=jigdo%2C+bittorrent 2007-09-27T14:07:32 <mmcgrath> jeremy: ? 2007-09-27T14:07:42 <nirik> debian does a lot. 2007-09-27T14:07:45 <jeremy> mmcgrath: infrastructure definitely could help. there are more people really workin gon infrastructure than rel-eng 2007-09-27T14:07:56 <jeremy> nirik: jigdo can't help with live images at all 2007-09-27T14:08:02 <EvilBob> People don't use jigdo because it is not offered as an atractive option 2007-09-27T14:08:04 <jeremy> nirik: which are the "interesting" things to provide really 2007-09-27T14:08:15 <VileGent> jeremy, ?? 2007-09-27T14:08:16 <nirik> yeah, I guess thats true. ;( 2007-09-27T14:08:36 <VileGent> nm 2007-09-27T14:08:42 <mmcgrath> jeremy: so my concern here is to make sure that this process doesn't rely soley on just you and jesse (you all have enough to worry about with the official spins) 2007-09-27T14:08:44 <EvilBob> people sit an leach off of BT and act like they are doing the world a service by capping their upstream 2007-09-27T14:08:53 <nirik> since the livecd is already installed image, it can't get a jigdo template to get packages from different mirrors. ;( 2007-09-27T14:08:57 <mmcgrath> Is there things we can do now or in the next couple of weeks? 2007-09-27T14:09:00 <jeremy> nirik: correct 2007-09-27T14:09:01 <mmcgrath> s/Is/Are/ 2007-09-27T14:09:19 <jeremy> mmcgrath: it's something that we could do to get more people involved with rel-eng, though. and in a pretty easy way 2007-09-27T14:09:48 <jeremy> mmcgrath: to be honest, even if it's right now still just me doing the extra spins, I'd still like to get the infrastructure in place (and have been meaning to send a mail for, oh, six weeks now but haven't gotten around to it) 2007-09-27T14:09:50 <mmcgrath> we do have a sysadmin-torrent group already for building torrents. We could delegate some of that to rel-eng. 2007-09-27T14:10:15 <jeremy> mmcgrath: I might say introduce a new spinmaster group or some such. plus, that sounds cool :) 2007-09-27T14:10:19 <mmcgrath> My main question is actually building the images from a ks and who can be trusted to do that? 2007-09-27T14:10:24 <mmcgrath> heh 2007-09-27T14:10:31 *** glezos has joined #fedora-meeting 2007-09-27T14:10:37 * glezos jumps in 2007-09-27T14:10:38 <dwmw2_gone> we should remember to seed the trackers at http://www.sixxs.net/tools/tracker/ when we release 2007-09-27T14:11:00 <jima> dwmw2_gone: yeah, someone with ipv6 needs to remember to do that ;) 2007-09-27T14:11:02 <jeremy> the big thing is that the config needs to just be checked over -- you can have %post --nochroot, and it's running as root, so .... 2007-09-27T14:11:16 * jima finds himself wishing, yet again, that he had native ipv6. 2007-09-27T14:11:30 <dgilmore> jima: as do i 2007-09-27T14:11:35 <dwmw2_gone> jima: doesn't take much to arrange it 2007-09-27T14:11:48 <dwmw2_gone> just set up a tunnel from sixxs.net 2007-09-27T14:11:49 <jeremy> but as looking over and doing sign off of the config is needed anyway, that shouldn't be a big deal 2007-09-27T14:11:50 <jima> dwmw2_gone: i did say "native" :P 2007-09-27T14:11:50 <mmcgrath> dwmw2_gone: add that to - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/SOP/Release if you get a moment 2007-09-27T14:12:01 <dwmw2_gone> mmcgrath: will do 2007-09-27T14:12:08 <dgilmore> dwmw2_gone: i have a tunnel. just not native support from my isp 2007-09-27T14:12:10 <mmcgrath> jeremy: Do we have any place on the wiki for this stuff or should I create one? 2007-09-27T14:12:36 * jima has numerous tunnels 2007-09-27T14:12:43 <dwmw2_gone> jima: even I don't have "native" at the moment -- I have a tunnel from my ISP. The ISP does support native IPv6 on PPP on the DSL, but I'm temporarily using a non-Linux box as a router (since I blew up the USB ports on my telephone exchange/router) 2007-09-27T14:12:45 <jeremy> mmcgrath: no place at the moment... if you want to start one, I can help flesh it out 2007-09-27T14:13:06 <mmcgrath> jeremy: k, I'll get some initial stuff setup. Including the spins.fp.o site. 2007-09-27T14:13:23 <jima> dwmw2_gone: even a tunnel from your immediate upstream isp is better than from halfway across the internet :( 2007-09-27T14:13:28 <dwmw2_gone> mmcgrath: or on the TorrentRelease page which that page refers to? 2007-09-27T14:13:30 <jeremy> mmcgrath: sounds good. and hopefully the board will agree with us :-) 2007-09-27T14:13:33 <mmcgrath> jeremy: the other question is who should approve secondary spins. I think FESCo would be good for that but some think board. What do you think? 2007-09-27T14:13:33 <dwmw2_gone> oh. The TorrentRelease page doesn't exist 2007-09-27T14:13:43 <f13> why not rel-eng itself? 2007-09-27T14:14:00 <jeremy> mmcgrath: it's trademark guidelines. the board can delegate if they want, but ultimately, control of the trademark rests with the board at the moment 2007-09-27T14:14:02 <f13> there are already guidelines, releng (who knows how to validate this stuff) could just once over and make sure things are being done right. 2007-09-27T14:14:09 <f13> or that. 2007-09-27T14:14:13 <EvilBob> rel-eng +1 2007-09-27T14:15:03 <mmcgrath> so a two part approval? releng says this is technically ready and the board says "give it our trademark" ? 2007-09-27T14:15:06 <dgilmore> mmcgrath: right now the board due to what jeremy said 2007-09-27T14:15:18 <dgilmore> mmcgrath: yup 2007-09-27T14:15:25 <mmcgrath> f13: that sound reasonable to you? 2007-09-27T14:16:38 *** bklemm has joined #fedora-meeting 2007-09-27T14:17:12 <mmcgrath> Ok, we'll just go with that for now. it will likely take some time before this completely gets flushed out anyway. I'll start an initial page and point rahul at it with the exception that he be patient as we're still working it out. 2007-09-27T14:17:19 <mmcgrath> Anyone else have anything to discuss on that topic? 2007-09-27T14:17:58 <jeremy> thanks for jumping in and doing some quick thinking on it 2007-09-27T14:18:42 <dwmw2_gone> mmcgrath: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/SOP/Release?action=diff 2007-09-27T14:18:46 <f13> mmcgrath: seems fine to me. 2007-09-27T14:18:59 <mmcgrath> solid. 2007-09-27T14:19:04 * mmcgrath is glad to get moving on that. 2007-09-27T14:19:37 <mmcgrath> Ok, on to the next topic 2007-09-27T14:19:45 *** mmcgrath changes topic to "Infrastructure -- Schedule - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Schedule" 2007-09-27T14:20:18 <mmcgrath> Corporate Sponsorship. We're getting some more interest in this but no new sponsors this week. 2007-09-27T14:20:40 <mmcgrath> I've been asking for some collaboration servers to host dedicated instances of gobby, pastebins, asterisk and a few other things we use to work together. 2007-09-27T14:21:02 <mmcgrath> I'm looking for a 1T torrent server both as an upgrade to our current server and because the current torrent is getting old. 2007-09-27T14:21:03 <lmacken> sweet 2007-09-27T14:21:18 <mmcgrath> I've also been pushing to find a new hosting server with about 1T of storage and onsite backup. 2007-09-27T14:21:45 <f13> nice 2007-09-27T14:21:47 <mmcgrath> I figure if we can get that setup and keep an off site backup in PHX hosted will be a very viable and attractive solution when combined with the Fedoraverse. 2007-09-27T14:22:00 <f13> mmcgrath: what ever happened to the blade center thing? 2007-09-27T14:22:17 <mmcgrath> f13: the last thing I heard from Jay Madison was "we'll tell you when we hear more" 2007-09-27T14:22:29 <mmcgrath> We're quickly coming up on a year of that thing just sitting on the floor. 2007-09-27T14:22:45 <jima> how big is it? 2007-09-27T14:22:58 <mmcgrath> jima: I think its more the power thats the problem, not the height. 2007-09-27T14:23:01 * mmcgrath digs up last email 2007-09-27T14:24:22 <jeremy> jima: it's a bladecenter. they're 14U iirc 2007-09-27T14:24:44 <jima> jeremy: i don't know bladecenters; that second part helps. ;) 2007-09-27T14:24:55 <jeremy> (but my RC may well not be... waaaayy too much rattling around in my head today :) 2007-09-27T14:25:28 <mmcgrath> f13: yeah, last email I got was on 9/04/07 that said "none yet, standby please. We'll let you know when we have everything with this sorted out. " 2007-09-27T14:25:42 <mmcgrath> So thats the latest. 2007-09-27T14:26:17 <mmcgrath> So anyway, thats the latest on corporate sponsorship, any questions before moving on? 2007-09-27T14:27:04 <mmcgrath> The next item on the schedule is architecture documentation.

Intro / application for Sysadmin group. Request for sponsor
by Mark Hutchinson 26 Sep '07

26 Sep '07

I need a sponsor. My name is Mark Hutchinson. I have about 10 year experience with Linux/Unix. I am an RHCE and working toward my RHCA. My experience is primarily in Oil/Gas and ISP. ( I will attach my resume as well ) I am a contractor currently for a Large Oil/Gas company and look after local and global Linux environments. I have also worked with NIS and LDAP quite a bit over the years. I am In Calgary, Alberta Canada ( MST ) I would like to be involved in the build and admin of environments. Though testing would also interest me as well. Giving a little back would be great as I have been using Fedora and RedHat for many years as an end user. My experience related to what is needed: * Web clustering - done with HA - Failover * Building and build environments - I have built many many environments for multiple purposes * Monitoring - Nagios and BigBrother extensively * Virtualization - Mostly with VMware but learning XEN now as well. * Source control management - I would like to learn more here * Script writers and automators - Lots of standard admin scripts and notification / automation script work in bash. * Years experience. * Skills (especially those listed below in "What we are looking for"). * Specific tasks you are interested in working on. * Current Location / Time Zone. * Why you are interested in working on the team. * Resume CV (not required, but a good idea)

Outage Notification - 2007-09-26 04:00 UTC (DB2)
by Mike McGrath 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

There will be an outage starting at 2007-09-26 04:00 UTC UTC, which will last approximately 5 hours. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2007-09-26 04:00 UTC' Affected Services: Websites Buildsystem Database Unaffected Services: CVS / Source Control DNS Mail Torrent Ticket Link: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/163 Reason for Outage: DB2 is running out of disk space. This is a preventative maintenance to ensure that we don't completely run out. There are a couple of avenues I'm still examining but if they fail I'll be forced to rebuild db2 with more storage and that's the reason for the outage. Its possible the actual outage will only take an hour or two but just in case I've created a 5 hour block. Contact Information: Please join #fedora-admin in irc.freenode.net or respond to this email to track the status of this outage.

by ria das 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Hi, I am working on the project mitwi (http://publictest1.fedora.redhat.com/mitwi/index.cgi) for SoC. I was suggested for url rewriting and so I was looking for it. For this I wrote : RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / Rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(index|language|direct).cgi RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /direct.cgi?data=$1 [L,QSA] I tried out this, but did not get any result. So can anyone please help me out to solve the problem. Ria Das
