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/

SSH changed to pubkey auth only
by Ricky Zhou 05 Jun '11

Hey, just a note to let everybody know, we just switched all of our machines to disallow SSH password authentication, so if you were previously using passwords to login anywhere, you'll need to use key auth now. Thanks, Ricky

retiring blogs.fedoraproject.org on 2011-07-01
by Kevin Fenzi 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Greetings. There has been some confusion and misunderstanding around blogs.fedoraproject.org recently. This email will hopefully clear them up. At the Tempe Fudcon, the Fedora Infrastructure team determined that we should retire our blogs.fedoraproject.org service. The reasons for this were: * We currently have no infrastructure members who are driving support of this service. (Fixing bugs, following upstream or improving the service). * Wordpress has a long history of security issues, requiring frequent, custom patches or updates to keep it secure. * Many other sites out there are providing blog services as their core mission, likely resulting in a more feature-full and compelling offering. Some of these sites like wordpress.com are commited to free software, like Fedora is. * Usage of the service was quite low. We have 92 blogs, but only 39 of them had more than 5 posts. Only 6 of them had posts in the last month, and only 23 had posts in 2011. While we are open to interested parties stepping forward to help us maintain the service, currently there is no compelling reason to keep the service running. We will be happy to help any user wishing to transition their blog to another service. We will provide web site redirects and dumps of their posts. Please contact fedora infrastructure (infrastructure(a)lists.fedoraproject.org) with further questions or concerns. kevin

EOL Torrents
by Frank Murphy 31 May '11

31 May '11

I'm not in Infrastructure, unsure if a websites matter. But noticed while grabbing F15 torrents, that a lot of EOL torrent files, are still available. Would these be better removed? http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/ http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/spins/ -- Regards, Frank Murphy UTF_8 Encoded Friend of Fedora
