Partial mass rebuild for Python 2.7 coming soon (I hope)
by David Malcolm 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

I'm planning to do a partial mass-rebuild for Python 2.7. This would cover all Python 2 users within the distribution, roughly 1000 src.rpms. Some notes can be seen at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_2.7/MassRebuild I hoped to start this tomorrow (2010-07-21) at 16:00 UTC, but it looks like I need to wait until at least after the outage that's due for that time [1]. Further, I'm still waiting to hear back to see if the build should be done with the "gold" linker, rather than "gnu-ld" [2]. I will delay the build until after a decision is made on this. This may mean that I'll wait until 2010-07-22. Some areas of uncertainty remain: - the script to do this, as written, assumes no build ordering is needed. I know that some ordering is needed, and plan to manually order the first four builds which I hope is the bulk of it, but it's not clear to me if more is needed; I'm running some tests to try to better determine this. Hope this makes sense Dave [1] https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2280 [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GoldLinkerDefault

Cleaning up sysadmin-test
by Stephen John Smoogen 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

As per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/GettingSponsored I am removing from both the waiting queue and the testers list administrators who have either been waiting for a long time or have not logged into the test systems in the last 3-6 months. This is meant to be routine security audit and not punitive. -- Stephen J Smoogen. “The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.” Randy Nelson, President of Pixar University.

dev.fedoraproject.org
by Mike McGrath 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

So it is probably time to have a dev.fedoraproject.org. Why? Well, toshio had mentioned having others do some of the 'sysadminy' tasks so developers can focus on development. Also Luke had an analogous request wrt community and staging but before I go setting things up some topics for discussion: 1) Security staging and production are identical. Since production data regularly gets migrated to staging people that have access to one, might as well have access to the other. Generally our staging environment is mostly used for integration work, some load work as well. 2) Should we run development from rpms that get edited (like live patches) or should we run them from scm(ish) checkouts. I generally vote for the latter as it feels more useful in a development lifecycle. But we should come up with a quick standard for how to store this stuff. something like /srv/dev/ 3) I don't want this to be all fancy. All of our apps run in their own namespaces so we should be able to get by with one or two app dev servers and we should be able to use them without a reverse proxy. Questions comments? It'd be nice to just throw them all together on a couple of hosts in their own namespace. It'll help find issues with them playing together. -Mike
