Wordpress?
by Máirín Duffy 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone had interest in setting up a Wordpress MU install for Fedora's infrastructure? Gerold Kassube on the marketing team had this cool idea to set up a blog per Fedora foundation (freedom, friends, features, first) and the multiuser capabilities of wordpress seem ideal to drive the project. Let me know if you have any interest in this. It would be really, really useful for Fedora's marketing. Thanks, ~m

[Change Request] Minor bodhi update
by Luke Macken 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

Hi guys, I'd like to do a low-risk bodhi upgrade this weekend. Changes include: * A new argument to the 'list' API method that will be utilized by Fedora Community. This does not break the existing API. * Added FormEncode validators to the 'list' API method, which fixes a couple of issues, and ensures we get the data that we expect. * Made some parts of the updates push process a bit more robust, so if there is a problem with 1 update, it won't effect the others. This will help us mitigate some recent explosions that we saw due to race-conditions. * Fixed some Koji session issues, which we have been hitting every now and then during pushes. luke

Another hello
by Tomek Wałkuski 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

Hi, my name is Tomek Walkuski. I want to introduce myself and write something about my skills, responsibilities at day job and so on. I am administering a few CentOS servers, two of these are under VERY high load running some Java and MySQL powered applications. One of these is running quite small Oracle instance. I am also using CentOS in my Master's degree thesis. What I want to achieve? Always learn something new (to be more proficient in Red Hat / CentOS / Fedora and to pass someday RHCE certificate), give my skills, experience (well...) and knowledge back. I think sticking to Fedora Infrastructure Team someday would be great opportunity to get involved in FOSS development. Now I will try to wander around a little :) During my free time, I am riding my bike, playing with Ada and Eiffel languages, "doing things". -- Tomek Wałkuski tomek.walkuski(a)gmail.com tel. +48 505 766 148

Hello

Hi, My name is Will Morris. I thought that I would say hi, and mention some of my skills as that is what it says to do. I have an ever growing knowledge of HTML and CSS. I am starting to learn how to do shell scripting, as well as creating MySQL. I am looking to learn how to administer a larger network better than I currently do. I am currently running a medium sized home network, and hope to increase the size of. If you have any questions please feel free to email me or ask a question of me on the mailing list. Cheers!

[Change Request] Use single quotes for the mysql backup cronjob.
by Ricky Zhou 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

This has been causing us to get extra cron spam (and stalling mysql updates).

MM changes needed for moving 7/8 content to archive
by Matt Domsch 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

To move pub/fedora/linux/releases/[78] to /pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/, and to retain the MM yum redirects, we're going to have to do some changes. * mount archive on bapp1 (add to mirrormanager-server in puppet) * create directory /pub/archive in MM db * create category "Fedora Archive" in MM db * edit /etc/mirrormanager/prod.cfg to add Fedora Archive * edit repomap.py to add Fedora Archive * ensure Repository pointers get moved to new location, which means deleting previous repository pointers. - the new Repository pointers will collide with the existing ones, and by virtue of the uniqueness, the new ones won't get created. So, we'll have to delete the original ones from the DB before adding the new ones. Will need to kill the u-m-d-l cronjob to accomplish this, then can restart it. * mirror admins will have to manually move the content, as we don't expose /pub/fedora/ and /pub/archive under the same rsync module anywhere such that we can use hardlinks for a few days. Otherwise they'll delete it and have to re-download it. What else am I missing? This won't require downtime from a user's perspective, but will require pausing some jobs on bapp1, and editing some files in place in /usr/share/mirrormanager until I can get a new release rolled out (which I've been preparing but we're in change freeze so haven't pushed hard...) Also, I'm mostly offline this week as it's Spring Break. How fast do we need this? Presumably by Thursday or so... -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux
