rawhide, /mnt/koji and /pub/fedora
by Jesse Keating 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

So I realized something last night. We created a user "masher" to have the ability to write to /mnt/koji/mash/ but not any of the other koji space. This is useful to prevent too much damage from a horribly wrong rawhide compose. To make things easier in the rawhide compose configs, we decided to run the cron/scripts as the masher user. This is also good because it means things run unprivileged. However I ran into a snag. We have another user, 'ftpsync' that has write access to /pub/fedora/. Previously the rawhide script was ran as root, and thus it was no problem to su ftpsync for the rsync calls. The masher user does not possess the capability of doing this. Since the ftpsync user is only really used to sync data onto the Fedora netapp, I propose that we collapse ftpsync and masher into one user (masher). It'll require minimal puppet changes, mostly just moving some cron jobs from ftpsync over to masher. It will require UID changes, either changing masher to the ftpsync UID (which breaks our new range we just setup), or chmodding some stuff on the Fedora netapp and changing what UID has write access there. For now, I'm syncing rawhide by hand. Comments? -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

publictest15
by Mike McGrath 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Publictest15 is up and ready. If you were using publictest10, start getting your stuff set back up on publictest15. If you need things restored create a ticket and let us know what and why. Remember, the pt servers don't get backed up, you should never be storing info there where it is the only place that info exists. -Mike

New test kernels are available, see the bug for more info. We should get a fixed version onto the Fedora xen builders very soon, and maybe disable them until they can be fixed? -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com

nfs1 and a test kernel
by Seth Vidal 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Having some issues with lockd dying on nfs1 - kevin fenzi was nice enough to point out: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453094 which suggests trying one of the kernels from: http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5/ so - any objections if I try one of those on nfs1 to see if it cures what ails us? -sv -- I only speak for me.

Puppet help - group membership on specific host
by Jesse Keating 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

I need a puppet trick. We have a shared user, masher, that has write access to the mash/ directory on the koji store (but not the packages!). This user currently exists on nfs1 and releng2. On releng2 the user is used to run the rawhide creation cron, which involves running mock. To run mock, the user must be in the 'mock' group. However this group (which comes from the mock package) doesn't exist on nfs1 and we'd like to keep it that way. So, I need a way in puppet to express that the 'masher' user on releng2 needs to be in the mock group, but only on releng2. Any thoughts/examples? This is probably one of those "puppet tricks" we should have in a wiki somewhere. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
