More active role in QA
by Mike McGrath 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

I'd like to see our infrastructure team take a more active role in QA during pre-release times. What did I have in mind? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_Alpha_Install_Test_Results We've got a lot of smart people on this list, so I figure I'll just nag people about it :) -Mike

Interesting mirror rediness results for alpha
by Mike McGrath 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

So, I've been monitoring the mirrors all day, its been sort of a manual process (thus the sporadic times there). I'm going to re-run this for the beta and continue to run it for the alpha but the results are not at all what I expected: http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/alphaMirrorRediness.html So the 10:00 AM portion is when we announced the alpha. People coming to the mirrors would have had a less then 10% hit rate. It went up from there mostly and wasn't until hours later that we saw a big spike upwards (after a mirror crawl completed). What I don't understand is why we've actually started losing mirrors. We were almost at 90% hit rate for a bit today, and now we're back down to just above 60. Any theories? I'm going to keep monitoring. Feel free to monitor yourself. I've basically been going to: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/11-Alpha/F… And seeing if it comes up with a found or not found/perm denied. I'm going to think on my methods a bit. Currently I'm just running wget's in a loop for 5+ minutes at a time and taking the total number of 200's / total requests * 100. -Mike

Change request: make ping and traceroute tools work from Zabbix dashboard
by Jeffrey Ollie 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

The ping and traceroute tools in the Zabbix dashboard do not work because the web front end does not know how to connect to the Zabbix server to initiate the commands. The following patch adds that configuration as well as tweaks a selinux boolean. The Zabbix web front end runs on the app servers so this is affected by the change freeze. The impact should be minor, reverting should be relatively easy in case of problems. diff --git a/manifests/servergroups/appRhel.pp b/manifests/servergroups/appRhel.pp index e43b275..a68b396 100644 --- a/manifests/servergroups/appRhel.pp +++ b/manifests/servergroups/appRhel.pp @@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ class appRhel { } ## SElinux + selinux_bool { 'httpd_can_network_connect': bool => 'on' } selinux_bool { 'httpd_can_network_connect_db': bool => 'on' } selinux_bool { 'httpd_can_network_relay': bool => 'on' } selinux_bool { 'httpd_enable_homedirs': bool => 'on' } diff --git a/modules/zabbix/templates/zabbix.conf.php.erb b/modules/zabbix/templates/zabbix.conf.php.erb index c2cae5b..8486cf4 100644 --- a/modules/zabbix/templates/zabbix.conf.php.erb +++ b/modules/zabbix/templates/zabbix.conf.php.erb @@ -28,4 +28,8 @@ $DB_USER = "zabbix"; $DB_PASSWORD = "<%= zabbixPassword %>"; $IMAGE_FORMAT_DEFAULT = IMAGE_FORMAT_PNG; + +$ZBX_SERVER = "noc1.fedora.phx.redhat.com"; +$ZBX_SERVER_PORT = "10051"; + ?> -- Jeff Ollie "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair.

Change Request
by Mike McGrath 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

If this get's +1'd tonight I'll do it tonight, if not I'll wait till tomorrow. Karsten had a request for the docs site to be updated more often. We'd initially lowered it because of a request of one of our sponsors. It was running hourly, during that time it did a 400M transfer so it produced noticeable load spikes. I've altered the script to keep a cache. Please comment (attached) +1's? -Mike

Announcing Fedora 11 Alpha (blink) (fwd)
by Mike McGrath 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Bored at work? Tired fo the freeze? Test the alpha! Its not a privilege, its a responsiblity :) -Mike To blink or not to blink: that is the question; Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous users, Or to take arms against a see of power drains. And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more: and by a sleep to say we suspend. Ok enough of that. The Fedora project is proud to present the availability of Fedora 11 (Leonidas) Alpha. Now is the time to test, now is the time to improve. The Alpha release provides the first opportunity for the wider community to become involved with testing Fedora 11 by way of Rawhide: Alpha represents a sanitized snapshot of rawhide, Fedora's development branch, which undergoes rapid changes before becoming the next major release. * The Alpha should boot on the majority of systems, and provides: * A look at what new features are to be included in the next release * A way to provide feedback and bug reports to help ensure that the next release is as good as possible For information about what new and wonderful things Alpha brings us, please check out the release notes: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Alpha_release_notes What to test Test status is being tracked here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_Alpha_Install_Test_Results Check out this page before reporting problems, including looking through the bug trackers as linked on that page. Get the Alpha http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-prerelease (Please bear in mind that our mirrors are still picking up the permission change and you may get a few permission denied messages while this happens this morning) Join Fedora To find ways you can help and participate, visit: http://join.fedoraproject.org/ -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list

Alpha Release - Website Pushing
by Ricky Zhou 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hey, I just finished updating the website for the Alpha release tomorrow. I won't be around for this one, so somebody will have to push the website. I've put some instructions in a comment in configs/system/syncStatic.sh in puppet, but here they are again: The website is currently frozen to a single commit in syncStatic.sh. To take this off during the Alpha release, remove the "git checkout" line in configs/system/syncStatic.sh and push it to puppet1. Then sudo /etc/cron.hourly/syncStatic.sh on puppet1 to generate the new website. Finally, run sudo func proxy\* call command run \ "/usr/local/bin/syncFiles.sh fedoraproject.org \ /srv/web/fedoraproject.org/" to make the proxies pull the new website. After this, it may be a good idea to clear the proxy caches by removing the contents of /srv/cache/mod_cache on proxy[1-5]. If any last-minute changes are required after this, commit/push it the the fedora-web repo, then re-run syncStatic.sh and the func command. Sorry I won't be around, and good luck tomorrow! Ricky

Local community domains
by Paul W. Frields 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hello Infrastructure team, We occasionally have local communities that want to set up supporting sites for spreading Fedora in their region. They might offer localized forums or other assistance that helps them spread Fedora in their respective locales. Red Hat indicated they would be willing to purchase a domain for Fedora that we could maintain on behalf of these local communities. They purchased "fedoracommunity.org" on behalf of the local communities, so if we're approached by someone looking for a domain, we can assign a subdomain like "xx.fedoracommunity.org". Mike McGrath worked with us to establish an acceptable way to do this, but we probably should have a procedure that makes the process acceptable for the Infrastructure team. I've started drafting a wiki page here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Local_community_domains I'd appreciate it if interested parties would review and then edit the page, or put input on its Talk page. I want to end up with a clear process for a community member to follow to request and receive a community domain. -- Paul W.

The staging environment was rebuilt recently but not updated in ssh_known_hosts. This patch updates those keys (its a bit rough to read so its attached) Can I get 2+1's? This is a global change. -Mike

squid issues
by Jesse Keating 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

I noticed something while composing this release. Packages gotten from kojipkgs (and thus the proxy) all have a timestamp of when the file was downloaded, vs the timestamp of the file on the fileserver. This has caused me some... frustration in getting my composes synced on the master mirror using hardlinks to rawhide. Can somebody help me debug why this is? I'm not familiar with our squid setup, and I couldn't find it in a quick wiki search for 'squid'. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
