hosts for rawhide build chroots - different rpm versions?
by Axel Thimm 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hi, AFAIK the build hosts are RHEL5 (or maybe F10 by now?). At any rate the rpm used in rawhide is quite different than the ones from the hosts, how has this been solved in the build hosts? Has the hosting OS upgraded its rpm to be compatible to all hosted chroots? Or is the rpm within the chroot used? I'm asking in a double context: First I'd like to understand if smart can properly handle chroots of rawhide/F11 on F10/RHEL5 hosts. Anders Björklund (in the Cc, please keep him there on replies) has put a great deal of effort to have smart working on F10 and F11, and a smart version for managing F11 and later chroots on F10 or earlier would be great. And second I'd like to know how to setup a build environment for F11 for getting some ATrpms packages out. Thanks! -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

Hello, My intro
by Chris Johnson 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi all, I've been lurking on the mailing list for a while and I finally registered for my fedora account today (username: chrisj) I'm interested in helping out as time permits. I got on irc once (lurking again) and haven't really logged in since. I'll try to make a few meetings after the holidays I'm planning to get my personal test systems setup soon. I just moved and still getting things straight at home. Bought a 750GB drive last night and will be installing F10 over the weekend. I had been running the U... distro and it's time to get back to the fedora/RH rpm way of doing things :-) I've used RedHat since before Fedora existed (I think 6 was the first one). Started as a hobbyist, 2 years. Then got a job as an admin and have been doing Linux admin and Cisco networks for the last 5 years. My current employer is a Win shop so I just get to run the DNS, email, and network, but the network is 50 remote offices and 3 different data centers in the midwest. I don't mind the Windows too much and can find my way around them, it's also kinda fun to get the Linux and MS products to play nice together. I've worked with a lot of different linux and OSS software products including: postfix, openldap, apache, bind, samba, mailman, pam, built some custom rpm's, etc. I use RHEL mostly at work and some fedora and Cent for testing (some suse, deb, and slackware in the past). I used to do lots of security firewall apliances with various linux distros (I was a big fan of LRP when it would fit on a floppy), most of this is now done with Cisco in my world. I can shell script pretty well and I've written several perl scripts in the last few years (dabbled in php but not enough to know it well). I've always been interested in python but don't have much if any exp with it. I also don't have much experience with SQL/DB or source control. I was looking at the FIGs and would be interested in the base sysadmin and sysadmin-noc for now while I figure out where everything is and what it does. I'm also interested in more info on the sysadmin-tools and sysadmin-web FIG. So, next just apply for the FIGs, keep lurking, ask some questions, show up for IRC meetings? Thanks all, -- Chris Johnson ++++++++++ j.chris.johnson(a)gmail.com ++++++++++++++++++++

remove old video torrents
by Matt Domsch 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

(I screwed up and did this w/o asking first; I expect thugs^Wenforcers from the Chicago area to arrive momentarily; fortunately, steaks are on the grill and hopefully they can be appeased. I can easily put the content back if need be.) I want to move the videos (ogg and avi files) currently hosted only on torrent.fp.o, to alt.fp.o/pub/alt/videos/ with the other videos. I have already copied the content over. This request will remove the torrents, their contents, and their .ini files on torrent1. Then, the normal processes will refresh the torrent.fp.o web page and the tracker. There are currently 0 or 1 seed, and 0 downloaders, for this content, which dates back to January 2008 at the most recent. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux

RFR: triageweb
by Brennan Ashton 30 May '09

30 May '09

==Primary Contact== Name: Brennan Ashton Fedora Account Name: bashton Group: Bugzappers Infrastructure Sponsor: ==Secondary Contact== Name: John Poelstra Fedora Account Name: poelstra Group: Bugzappers ==Project Info== Project Name: TriageWeb Target Audience: Bug Triagers, Developers, Quality Assurance. To some extent this might include the general public, as a way to see how fedora is managing bugs and developing. Expiration/Delivery Date (Required): 06/06/2009 ==Description/Summary== TriageWeb is a turbogears application that automatically queries and processes bugzilla bugs to generate user defined reports on triage related activities. Base reports include: * Number of bugs of each work flow status changed for Fedora product as a whole over time * Number of bugs of each work flow status changed for component D over time * Number of bugs of each work flow status changed for component group E over time * Number of bugs of each work flow status changed by user F over time * Number of bugs of each work flow status changed by user group G over time Data is presented in both tabular and graphical displays (these lack some UI changes for customizing queries): Here are some samples: * http://bashton.fedorapeople.org/personalstat.png * http://bashton.fedorapeople.org/mainlist.png Tabular data can be sorted and date ranges can be selected. Graphical data can have data ranges limited, as well as statuses. Refreshes of bug data would be updated at the end of each day, as processing the few hundred bug reports changed each day take a fair amount of time. FutureFeatures (not so far away): * Will integrate with FAS so that users can store there queries for later, they also can create custom user and component groups here. * Send weekly reports on rawhide bugs, and well as top reporters, triagers, and bug closers. * A Look Into Rawhide --This is an idea that I discussed with jlaska, the idea is that this is a work bench that people can visit to see how we are progressing with blockers as milestone are reached. This would also include a section that more effectively then bugzilla, shows the top duplicated bugs, so that developers and traigers spend less time having to sort through 50 dup bug reports filed when component X failed today. *Create a section where FAS groups and users can create a monitor goals that are compared to standard queries. What this means will be partially determined by feedback on what people use and how they use the core features. ==Project Plan== * Currently the project is locally hosted and is in a nearly usable state already. There is still one known bug in the scripts that pull data from bugzilla, this just requires going back and tracing what types of bugs cause the error and then fixing the script to process these correctly. * In a week or as soon as the RFR is granted, people are wanting to start testing the app, the triage group is especially eager to start using it, this will give me significant feedback as to what needs to be changed or added. *After this has become stable, I will request that the application be pushed live as a release application. * I need to start looking into optimizing the database queries and format, as the application is database intensive. * Once the core app is running smoothly I will start to integrate and develop the tasks outlined in FutureFeatures in the order that I have listed them. The development of these features will mostly take place during the months of June and July, and then continue at a slower pace during the school year where the focus will be primarily maintenance and bug fixes as I will have more limited time. ==Specific Resources Needed== *Webspace to run the turbogears application *Ability to create cron jobs for daily data fetching scripts (no more then an hour each day) --When rebuilding the database to introduce feature requests a script will take around 10-12 hours. This should happen only very occasionally, and does not take much processing power as most of the time is spent doing xmlrpc communications with bugzilla. *Database space to store metrics data as well as user preferences. The metrics data right now in a sqlite db is only a few MB, I would not expect it to grow beyond 50MB even with heavy user usage. I have no preference between MySQL and postgresql *Package wise all dependencies are in fedora already, with the exception of traigeweb itself. --Python --TurboGears --python-turboflot --python-fedora --python-bugzilla --python-sqlalchemy --python-numeric --httpd There may be a few others, but that should be a very representative list. ==Goals== The point of this project is to give the traige, packaging, and QA groups some new tools so that they can better measure there status as well as monitor critical areas. This should especially help with the development cycles once some of the FutureFeatures have been introduced. This also allows fedora to better recognize the commitment of some members in the community who spend there time in the drudgery of processing, reporting, and solving bugs. ==Other Notes== * I am looking for someone in the sysadmin-web group to sponsor me. * I have filed this as ticket #1314 https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1314 Thank you for the consideration, Brennan Ashton

This was just done as a demonstration. ... Hmm... Make the technology work *for* you. A novel idea. Maybe the GA could be distributed the same way, like to mirrors and end users. It only works for places that already have the previous image (i.e., Preview in this case), but that's at least the testers. Worth it?

Change request - Proxy1 (x86_64)
by Mike McGrath 29 May '09

29 May '09

This one's an oops, probably on me. I happened to notice proxy1 is an x86_64 box. We have two options. 1) double it's ram 2) rebuild it as x86 I'd prefer to do 2 since the release slipped again and we've generally got time for it. The concern is the boxes are tuned for i686 with 4G of ram and don't generally like to operate if either of those change. -Mike
