ticket#2673 - nitrate deployment
by James Laska 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Greetings, I am in search of sponsorship for hosting space to deploy a test instance of nitrate [1]. Some of you may recall several years back when we deployed an instance of Testopia. That exploration was cut short when we discovered license incompatibilities between testopia and Fedora. At that time, a small group of Red Hat associates began creating a new Django-based test management system to remove the components that had conflicting licenses. That new system became nitrate [1]. The Fedora QA team would like to experiment/explore this newer Django-based test management system. At the very least, I believe we'll need a publicly accessible server where we can host the nitrate instance and a mysql database for it. I filed ticket#2673 (https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2673) to track this request. Please don't hesitate with any questions/comments/concerns. Thanks, James [1] https://fedorahosted.org/nitrate/

Second rounds of lists clean-up
by Andrea Veri 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

hey guys, I've just finished tracking down inactive lists et all on collab01. The list can be found at [1]. Will wait 14 days from now and then clean-up the really inactive lists. I've used the following policy to avoid any problem: Lists with messages older than January 2011 or with no messages at all, will receive a mail from me asking if they still think their list is active or will be so in the near future. If no mails will be sent back to me within 14 days from today the list will be closed using the procedure explained above. (lists can be re-opened at any time later) Obviously the above didnt apply to the summer-coding lists that are inactive now since september for a valid motivation. Wow, it's finally done, it was a never-ending list! cheers! Andrea [1] http://averi.fedorapeople.org/inactive_lists_fp.txt

[Bug 656076] BFO installation PITA (fwd)

This was fixed for Fedora 14 and earlier on February 28. As suggested in comment #12, for Fedora 15 no "method=xxx" line is necessary. Remove it and the install will proceed without the constant "Retry? message. (Apparently, whoever added the Fedora 15 configuration sections on boot.fedoraproject.org didn't see the email telling them to leave out the "append method=..." part. Oh well.) If anyone can confirm that removing "method=xxx" from the boot commandline makes the install proceed as expected, we'll change the configuration on boot.fedoraproject.org and close this bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

loggerhead updated for a CVE
by Toshio Kuratomi 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

I've updated loggerhead on hosted01/02 due to an XSS flaw. This is using the new EPEL5 builds. The changes are not large but (since el5 was on 1.17 and the fix is in 1.18.1) the changes do touch things that aren't related to the XSS fix. Likely, only projects that I'm involved in use bzr on fedorahosted (and thus loggerhead as the web viewer), but in case someone complains about problems, this is a likely culprit. PS: Thanks to ricky for making sure I saw this. -Toshio

RE: Introduction
by Richard Walker 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Hi Infrastructure Team, I'm an Enterprise Support Analyst from Yorkshire, United Kingdom. I have a fair amount of Linux experience and now work full time with Tru64, HP-UX and most significantly Red Hat Enterprise. Although I still have a lot to learn I will be getting formal Red Hat training at some point and more experience under my belt moving forward. I'm still finding my way around here but hope to get involved if I have anything to offer, I'm a fan of Red Hat/Fedora and hope to master everything about it - so if I can learn and help out along the way - all the better! Regards, Richard.

changing a few things in our host mgmt tools
by Seth Vidal 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hi folks, some thoughts have been slowly coalescing in my head about how we're managing our boxes/services and I have some suggestions I've passed by various folks but I wanted to check them out with everyone: 1. puppetd sucks..... memory. Right now we have puppetd running on every box and it wakes up every half hour and runs itself. This is fine but in the time where it is not doing anything it just eats memory for no good reason. I'd like to suggest we move to a cron-driven model instead of puppetd. I'd write a simple cron job that runs every half hour to run puppetd, if a lock file is not found. Pretty straightforward, of course. 2. monitoring if puppetd has run properly: two things we want to know about puppet runs: a. when they last happened per-box b. if they fell over in a horrible way. (a) can be known by looking at the $nodename.yaml file which lives on the puppetmaster. I've written a script to check if that file is older than 1 hour and report the nodename if it is. (b) can be done via the cron job - ie: taking error output from the puppet run and mailing to people until we fix it! :) 3. sign** boxes. problems here: a. These boxes are falling out of date, repeatedly, b/c they aren't in our normal updating path. b. these boxes don't email out to the same locations as the other boxes c. these boxes don't get faspassword updates properly d. these boxes don't get config changes normally via puppet (a) I'd like to suggest that they be put into a normal updating path and/or we setup a nag mail to tell us about them (b) obviously, fix their mail configs (c) fasclient is failing b/c of a missing token b/c, most likely, of (d) I'm open to suggestions on those but it is a bit annoying b/c while I understand their 'sensitivity' I think our way of treating them is making the problem WORSE not better. -sv
