postgresql8.4-8.3.6
by Toshio Kuratomi 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

As discussed with jcollie and mmcgrath on IRC, we can take advantage of the koji downtime to upgrade db3 (koji's db) to postgresql8.3-8.3.6. We're currently on 8.3.3. This version should bring a many bugfixes; none of which are affecting our ability to get things done and probably will not result in noticable performance changes. This release does not require a dump and reload over what we're currrently running. That means we should be free to revert if we find that 8.3.6 is not as reliable as 8.3.3. This seems to be something nice to have but not essential. I've built the packages we'll need and put them in the infrastructure repo. jcollie, dgilmore, and others, if you want to test postgresql8.3, feedback on whether you encounter any issues would be appreciated. -Toshio

New SOP page
by Toshio Kuratomi 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Hey, I've categorized all of our SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) pages in the [[Category:Infrastructure SOPs]] and made a new page for them: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Infrastructure_SOPs (The old URL redirects there so old, external links are still fine). The index on the page is generated automatically by the category. This means that anytime you create a new SOP simply place this Category tag at the bottom of the page and it will appear here as well:: [[Category:Infrastructure SOPs]] As you can see from the index on the page, the MoinMoin, hierarchical directory index scheme makes the Category Index a little ugly (everything is listed as beginning with "I" because they all start with "Infrastructure". Additionally, the docs folks recommend that everyone renames pages to be more natural language oriented so that mediawiki's search functionality works better. If I rename in Mediawiki, there will be redirects from the old names to the new ones. Does anyone mind if I start doing that? I was thinking of one of the following schemes: A) Infrastructure/SOP/Baculs => Bacula B) Infrastructure/SOP/Bacula => Bacula SOP -Toshio

Since 2009-02-11 I get following errors syncing from secondary.fedoraproject.org::fedora-secondary/ rsync: send_files failed to open "/development/arm/os/Packages/.VLGothic-fonts-proportional-20080908-1.fc10.noarch.rpm.pBjp2o" (in fedora-secondary): Permission denied (13) rsync: send_files failed to open "/development/arm/os/Packages/.gcc-debuginfo-4.3.2-7.fa4.armv5tel.rpm.Hulh62" (in fedora-secondary): Permission denied (13) rsync: send_files failed to open "/development/arm/os/Packages/.gettext-devel-0.17-8.fc10.fa1.armv5tel.rpm.THlo5A" (in fedora-secondary): Permission denied (13) Would be great if someone could delete those temporary files.

keeping up with the status of alerts
by Seth Vidal 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi folks, I'd like to try something new. We've been getting a fair number of alerts via nagios/zabbix/etc. Sometimes, due to the conversation in #fedora-admin it is hard to tell who is working on what and what is in need of immediate attention. I'd like to suggest we use #fedora-noc for 'X is down, I'm working on it' and discussion for immediate crisises, problems. I sometimes have a hard time knowing what I should look at and/or what is an expected alert due to work being done. So it would be best to keep the noise down in #fedora-noc unless it is directly related to an outage. What do y'all think? -sv

I suggested #fedora-noc a while ago (October actually) no one seemed interested. Ian was going to write a plugin for zodbot to echo Zabbix notices to IRC, but my understanding the code tree is dead with nothing. I'm going to try and come up with an alternative soon.

New fasClient
by Toshio Kuratomi 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

For quite a while (I think sometime around the Incident) we've had a fas-client update pending that is broken. We finally got around to looking into the problem and have something that we think works. I've deployed it on hosted1, hosted2, bastion, and fedorapeople. Everything looks fine with those hosts. There are a few changes: 1) There's still one bug where old home directories aren't deleted/moved to /home/fedora.bak/. The owners are removed, though. 2) The new script and server methods are stricter than the old one. The new script checks for cla_done and active status whereas the old script doesn't. This has lead to a few removals on hosted1&2, bastion, and a whole lot of removals on fedorapeople. For now I'm turning the fas-clients version back to "present" in puppet and removing the known broken fas-clients packages from the fi-repo (0.8.4.5-2 and 0.8.4.7-2, the good versions, remain). We should be good to upgrade fas-clients on the other hosts anytime. -Toshio
