Change request: fasClient
by Toshio Kuratomi 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

I'd like to apply the following patch to the fasClient on bastion. I'll spin a new fasClient package with it applied but we probably won't update fas-clients on all the machines until after the change freeze. The patch changes how the email aliases are generated. The server is removing accounts that are marked inactive from having individual aliases. This change causes fasClient to eliminate those email addresses from the group aliases as well. Possible impact: We could break break email alias generation What it fixes: Currently group email aliases have many undeliverable addresses. Mitigating factors: - Tested this on fas1.stg. A brief look at the alias lists seems to be correct (only people who are inactive are left out). - This change will only be on bastion so it's easy to back out a change by copying fasClient from another machine. Can I get two +1's ? -Toshio diff --git a/client/fasClient b/client/fasClient index ee83eae..8203e90 100644 --- a/client/fasClient +++ b/client/fasClient @@ -500,6 +500,10 @@ class MakeShellAccounts(AccountSystem): for membership in self.memberships[name]: role_type = membership['role_type'] person = self.all_people[membership['person_id']]['username'] + if person not in sorted_emails: + # If the person isn't in sorted_emails, their account has + # been inactivated.

We're in the change freeze, I have two changes I would like to make: 1) an update to django-contact-form-0.3-3.el5.hg97559a887345 2) An addition of /site_media/ Proxy Pass on translate.fp.o Risk: low, neither 1) nor 2) is in use already and is only adding functionality. Roll back is easy. 2+1's? -Mike

We have a infrastructure for elections at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/voting but that is probably a overkill for simple polls. CC'ing Fedora infrastructure list to see if we have a better system for this but meanwhile you can do this via fedoraforum.org if necessary. > The sessions in #fedora-classroom (UTC) occur quite late nights (IST). True. Kevin Fenzi (CC'ed) is leading this effort. Maybe we can do it other timings as well? Rahul

Change Freeze and an exception
by Mike McGrath 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Hey guys, just a reminder the beta release is to be released at the end of the month. The change freeze will start on the 10th and be lifted on March 25th. Also during this freeze we're going to be working with the translations team to deploy a new tx instance. Based on what I know the risk to the beta release is fairly low. At worst we'll see some downtime on our webapps for a small period of time. Still, it's a risk and we'll be treating tx like everything else and asking for changes every time we have them... but be prepared, there could be many. -Mike

Introduction
by Clifford Chandler 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Hello everyone, My name is Cliff Chandler, and I'm a student at GA State University. I'm really looking forward to being involved with Fedora. I've been using Fedora since Fedora 6, and I've been gradually using it more and more, and now I nearly depend on it. At school I do all my programming in Java, so I've become quite proficient at that, however in my free time, I prefer to write in C and play with OpenGL and SDL. As for web development, I am comfortable with HTML/CSS, PHP (and SQL when a database is needed), and basic JavaScript. Python seems to be more important every day, so I've just started with that as well. I've checked out the infrastructure/getting started page (this message is to the infrastructure-list as well as the websites-list), but any more guidance is appreciated. -Cliff

FAS freeze
by Mike McGrath 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

If you're not toshio or myself please leave the account system stuff alone in puppet until further notice. We're in the process of a multi-part migration (both an FAS update and a conversion to an fas module) and changes would muddy things up :) I hope to have it all cleaned up soon. If you do need to make a change coordinate it with me or toshio. -Mike
