kill prelink
by Seth Vidal 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Discussion from irc today pointed out the..... difficulty with our security with prelink running on our systems. From a suggestion from both Ricky (Zhou) and Kevin (Fenzi) I'd like to kill prelink with fire from our systems. Anyone have a good reason not to do this? -sv

download.fedora.redhat.com
by Kevin Fenzi 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

So, does anyone see any problems or objections to just removing download.fedora.redhat.com from dns? It's been replaced with dl.fedoraproject.org for a long time. It causes ssl cert issues (see https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3118 ) There were some references to it on the wiki, but I cleaned those up. Can anyone think of anything that would break if we just remove this and announce to the mirror list it's gone? kevin

06 Feb '12

Hello all, my name is Danijel Starman (danstar or irc) and I would like to join the Infrastructure team and volounteer some time. I'm a long time linux user and I'm trying to learn more about the sysadmin side of things as I was taking care of some servers and chassis at past jobs . I have RHCT and I'm currently preparing to recertify as a RHCSA and then hopefully RHCE. I also have experience with voice services and networking (mainly Cisco) but I'm not sure if anything from those fields is needed here. I'm in the CET timezone. Looking forward to help and learn! -- *blap*

Join apprentice group
by Aljerin Butler,Jr. 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Hi, My name is Al Butler. I introduced myself several weeks ago and have been attending your online meetings since. I would like to join your apprentice group. As I had mentioned in my introduction, I am interested in web development and have some experience in script programming via Perl. Am new to Python but getting more familiar with it these past weeks. abadger1999 had pointed me to https://fedorahosted.org/elections/report/3, https://fedorahosted.org/elections/ticket/19 and https://fedorahosted.org/elections/ticket/36 for starters. I'm not familiar with the software development process, so could you point me to any info as to how your process works in checking software in and out as I get going? Where can I find out about using gettext with Python? Thanks much

For me sphinx sounds like the best tool for that job out of the box from the description provided. I have a couple concerns that we need to be sure to test with xapian being a crawler. - Will this work for pages on the wiki that are already hard to find because they are not linked to from anywhere? - Are we sure it will work on docs.fp.o and it's JavaScript navigation menu? I am willing to help out testing if another can take the lead on it. -- Bob
