So the release is.. well tomorrow. I've got a list of static urls to create. I'm working on getting them up and ready on the proxy servers. This is part of ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/528 -Mike

Change request: add dist-f10-build as a static repo
by Jesse Keating 12 May '08

12 May '08

When we created the dist-f10 build targets I forgot to create a corresponding static-repo for it. This diff will create one, and allow people who are working on F10 actually be able to populate buildroots from the f10 content and match koji.

I'd like to take care of this as soon after change freeze as possible. It's the same as last time: Disable the pieces of the cron scripts which vacuum koji's dbs in puppet cvs commit; make install; make push HOSTS=db2 ssh db2 screen time sudo -u postgres vacuumdb -vd koji [wait a few hours for this to finish during which koji is somewhat more sluggish but there's no actual outage.] reenable the pieces of the cron scripts which vacuum koji, commit, install, push. Done.

mod_wsgi vs cherrypy
by Mike McGrath 09 May '08

09 May '08

As many of you have seen we've started getting timeouts with fasClient against the accounts system. After some probing I decided to look at alternate deployment methods. Bottom line... python threading blows. So here's the scoop. Right now we use cherrypy + supervisor to deploy each turbogears app. Each app gets its own port. WSGI also relies on cherrypy but does things in a different way. mod_wsgi is an apache plugin, and instead of every app getting its own port, it gets its own apache namespace (like /accounts/) mod_wsgi can be setup to deploy more then one process at a time and send requests to both. Straight tg + cherrypy cannot do this unless you have two instance listening on different ports and have a load balancer in front sending to both ports. So I ran some tests. (attached and at - http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/wsgivscherrypy1.png) After proper tuning for the machine mod_wsgi was not only a little faster (20 seconds faster in the extreme end) it was also considerably more reliable and scaled predictably. Straight cherrypy would reliably die on me at around 40 concurrent requests. Those requests would complete but sometimes timeout or take too long for the client to listen. I think this is helping attribute to whats going on in our environment. The test in question was /accounts/group/list (its not a quick/small request) There's other code changes on the way but I think mod_wsgi is a win for us in this instance. After the freeze I'd like to deploy it on the fas boxes and see how things go. We should then talk about our other deployments. I like supervisord but it may be better for us in the long run to use apache straight up. Also we get some other niceties like being able to more easily serve static content, and all the mod_[headers,rewrite] stuff as well that comes with apache. Thoughts, questions, comments? -Mike

16:23 < mmcgrath> I'll take that as a no. 16:23 < mmcgrath> so next bit 16:23 -!- mmcgrath changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Infrastructure -- mod_wsgi vs straight cherrypy 16:24 < mmcgrath> lmacken abadger1999 ricky: any thoughts on that? 16:24 * dgilmore is all for reliability 16:24 < abadger1999> I want mod_wsgi 16:24 < mmcgrath> I saw no tangible downside to doing this. 16:24 < lmacken> WSGI is the way to go, and mod_wsgi looks to have great benefits 16:24 < lmacken> it'll definitely put us in the right direction for adopting TG2 as well 16:24 < abadger1999> How do we restart pps under mod_wsgi? 16:24 < abadger1999> restart apache? 16:24 < abadger1999> s/pps/apps/ 16:25 < mmcgrath> interestingly I found that lots of other of our applications could use the WSGI interface as well so we could at least have common configuration components that way. 16:25 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: yeah, just restart apache. 16:25 < abadger1999> Very nice. 16:25 * mmcgrath wonders if a graceful would work. 16:25 -!- wolfy [n=lonewolf@fedora/wolfy] has left #fedora-meeting ["I fought the lawn, and the - lawn won!"] 16:25 < abadger1999> Okay... so the only drawback of that is that we'd have to restart all of the apps on a machine if we update one. 16:25 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: the other thing thats nice is we can control memory bloat through other means like limiting the number of requests a process will be allowed to run before restarting, etc. 16:26 < abadger1999> mmcgrath: :-) That makes very happy 16:26 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: yes, with the exception of a graceful which, if I understand how it _should_ work... is something like this. 16:26 < abadger1999> <nod> 16:26 < mmcgrath> any http processes that are currently in use will be told to restart when they are done. 16:26 < mmcgrath> any process not in use is told to restart and it does so. 16:26 < abadger1999> There was also a startup cost, though? 16:27 < mmcgrath> so there should be no actual downtime. The only thing is after httpd is restarted, the initial request to start the processes usually takes an additional 3-5 seconds because its actually starting turbogears. 16:27 < abadger1999> Ah. 3-5 seconds isn't bad. 16:27 < mmcgrath> the startup cost is pretty high but still not horrible. 16:27 < abadger1999> I'm all for this. 16:27 * lmacken too 16:28 < mmcgrath> especially since, in my tests, its only worth it to have the number of processes == the number of cpus you have so its not like a whole lot of them will be starting at once. 16:28 < mmcgrath> alrighty then, we'll deploy this right after F9 ships. 16:28 < mmcgrath> I'll stick what I have for fas.wsgi into the git repo with directions on how to get it going. 16:28 < mmcgrath> abadger1999: interested in helping me test it? 16:28 -!- petreu| [n=peter(a)p3EE3E652.dip.t-dialin.net] has quit Read error: 113 (No route to host) 16:28 < lmacken> what TG changes did you have to make to get it under mod_wsgi ? 16:28 < abadger1999> Sure.

Change Request: Setup Awstats for download.fp.o (and fix the torrent.fp.o one)
by Ricky Zhou 08 May '08

08 May '08

It'd be really useful to have awstats track download.fp.o and torrent.fp.o. Normally, I wouldn't mention this until after the change freeze, but it's really low risk, and we could use this to get a lot of valuable statistics during the mass downloading following the release. I don't think download.fp.o is in the config yet, and torrent.fp.o is at http://fedoraproject.org/awstats/torrent/, but it doesn't seem to be working (no stats). Thanks, Ricky

xen5 change request
by Dennis Gilmore 08 May '08

08 May '08

prior to the network maintenance outage, we had puppet disbaled on xen5 and iptables stopped. as an interim measure i would like to return to that state so that backups will run again. longer term, we need to adjust iptables. But for right now just wanting to do the minimum to have backups functioning again. nothing else runs on xen5 so its low impact. Dennis

Using consistent URLs
by Paul W. Frields 07 May '08

07 May '08

One of the issues that we talked about at today's "release readiness" meeting -- made up of reps from many subprojects in Fedora -- the issue of using consistent URLs came up. If we can settle on URLs that can cross releases, and use them consistently for any public communication, it's easier for us to (1) provide a good user experience through superior Web server administration, (2) track on metrics of user visits, and (3) create unified marketing materials. In our press releases, stories for digg, Slashdot, and anywhere else people might see them, let's make sure we are using these URLs: To get Fedora: --> http://get.fedoraproject.org/ To join Fedora: --> http://join.fedoraproject.org/ To read Release Notes: --> http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes --> http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ (can be shortened if needed) -- Paul W.

change request (CROND)
by Mike McGrath 06 May '08

06 May '08

This weekends outage we disabled crond on a bunch of the boxes. We forgot to re-enable them on a few. I'd like to enable them. Risk: Moderate I can't think of anything that'd break per-say.. Its just a couple of boxes though. None of them in Fedora's critical path except for our torrent server. anyone want to +1? -Mike
