Change Request - Transifex ticket 1655
by Mike McGrath 16 Feb '10

When we downgraded transifex last week I missed one of the hot fixes. Can I get 2 +1's to push this patch out? https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1655 -Mike

Hello Fedora Infrastructure team!
by Kevin 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Hi Team! My name is Kevin, and I'm very much interested in being a part of the Fedora Infrastructure team! Currently, I support and maintain approximately 120 SLES/Solaris/RedHat servers running WebSphere Application Server 6.0/1 and Portal Server 6.0, as well as IBM HTTP Server and SunONE Web Server. I am also our legacy DNS administrator, and the secondary sendmail administrator. I've been an engineer/administrator for approximately 3 years professionally, and approximately 5 personally. I do work days - from about 0300 UTC to about 1200/1300 UTC - so I will probably not be on the meetings very much, as my employer frowns (read: blocks) access to IRC. Please feel free to contact me - and I look forward to being part of the team! Respectfully Yours, Kevin Huntly

Actually, as required by the Fedora Project's privacy policy[1], we can remove accounts in the Fedora Account System. We probably need a SOP on the wiki for this, since I couldn't find information on how exactly this is done and whom should be contacted in the FAS page[2]. I'm cc'ing the infrastructure list to see if I missed this somewhere. * * * [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/PrivacyPolicy#How_to_Access.2C_Modify_… [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem#Account_Termina… Paul On Sat, Feb 13, 2010 at 3:32 PM, Darren VanBuren <onekopaka(a)gmail.com> wrote: > We do not remove accounts, however you can mark your account as inactive. > > > On Sat, Feb 13, 2010 at 11:12, Simon Lewis <simon.lewis(a)slnet-online.de> wrote: >> Hello Webmaster >> >> Please remove my account from fedoraproject.org. >> >> Many thanks, Simon Lewis

RE: Additional IPv6 Bittorrent tracker
by Matt Domsch 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

We do have a Xen host and several VMs on native IPv6 hosted at ibiblio.org, which is where we would want to run such a tracker ourselves if possible. The goal was to run the opentracker-v6 in parallel with the existing bittorrent-based tracker. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/IPv6 notes our v6 infrastructure. The problem wasn't just that statistics were unavailable (which would be a problem - we like having some counts of download methods), but that even retrieving them via http would crash the tracker. :-( I looked into Azureus briefly, but IIRC it's java-based? We don't have any java in our infra environment right now. That doesn't mean we couldn't add it, but most FI maintainers aren't java experts. I haven't looked into BitTornado. Thank you for your offer to host though - that's something we can consider. The infrastructure list (copied) is the right place for this discussion. Anyone else have thoughts on this? -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux ________________________________________ From: Bernhard Schmidt [berni(a)birkenwald.de] Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 11:19 AM To: Domsch, Matt Cc: admin(a)fedoraproject.org; infrastructure(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Re: Additional IPv6 Bittorrent tracker On Sat, Feb 13, 2010 at 11:08:31AM -0600, Matt_Domsch(a)Dell.com wrote: Hi Matt, there are not that many trackers that support IPv6 as of now. The only others I know are Azureus/Vuze and (limited) BitTornado. However, this mail was about running a Tracker on IPv6, not changing the currently used tracker software to OpenTracker. You need IPv6 connectivity to run the IPv6 tracker though, which does not seem to be in use in the Fedora infrastructure at the moment (as far as I could tell). This is why I volunteered my system, running opentracker, to be used by Fedora. I haven't had any stability issues, although I have to agree with you that statistics are a weak point (by design?) of opentracker.

We have been looking at using opentracker, but it has been slow going, with us finding several bugs and needing to resolve those. Last I knew, extracting statistics from it was difficult and prone to crashing. If that's resolved now, we could use opentracker, but I haven't looked in a few weeks to know. -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux ________________________________________ From: Bernhard Schmidt [berni(a)birkenwald.de] Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 9:17 AM To: admin(a)fedoraproject.org Subject: Additional IPv6 Bittorrent tracker Hi, as most of you probably know IPv6 is the upcoming successor of the current internet protocol IPv4. I have recently started to look into the Bittorrent over IPv6 situation (my summary is available at http://www.birkenwald.de/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=projects:ipv6-bittorrent ). Currently, while most Bittorrent clients are IPv6-capable most trackers are not. This makes it very hard to impossible for clients to find IPv6 peers on their own. The Bittorrent Multitracker extensions, which are implemented in almost any client known today (and still provide a full backup path for clients not implementing it) allow multiple trackers to be specified for a torrent. We have recently done this for the conference recordings of 26c3 (a big german hacker conference) and had good results. The same scheme is now in action for Ubuntu and Knoppix. The OpenOffice project gave positive feedback, but has not implemented it so far. Therefor I'd like to ask you to put an IPv6-only tracker into the Fedora torrents. If there is a need I would volunteer to run that (see the URL) and I also have a few very high-speed seeders (>= 1Gbps) on native v6 that can help out to seed. But as stated before, this would only be an additional tracker, not replacing the current one. Please tell me what you think about this. Best Regards, Bernhard

FYI, toshio and lmacken going to pycon
by Toshio Kuratomi 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi guys, lmacken, dmalcolm, and I will be away at Pycon from the 17th thru the 25th. The first half of that will be conference days with meetings, presentations, etc. The second half will be a hackfest. Depending on the reliability of internet there (never a given when you get over a thousand people hitting the wireless network at once ;-) we'll be somewhat available during the second half. The first part less so. If you have any questions for python, turbogears, distribute(setuptools++) people that you think I might get answered, let us know. -Toshio
