Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction James
by James Gretton 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi all, My name is James and my IRC nick handle is jjlit. I am a system admin in Australia, recently completed post graduate university qualifications and am looking for a new hobby, now that ive finished uni. I have been a long time linux user and fan, and would love to be actively involved in the system administration of the fedora server infrastructure, no matter what task. I have a passion for linux and down here in Australia its hard to be involved in linux as the microsoft juggernaut is very powerful down here. I realise it will be a while before I am allowed to participate in active sysadmin tasks, but thats fine, im the same with my networks. I would also like to get to a stage whereby I can hopefully train others who are like me, looking for something to devote their time to. Im also looking for a sponsor to help me get onboard with the infrastructure team asap, anyone who can help out, much appreciated in advance. Regards, James

Freeze break for post-update hook on pkgs01?
by Ralph Bean 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

When we were adding the fedmsg hooks to pkgs01 and pkgs01.stg, we decided it would be a nice "extra" to run "git update server-info" on each repo for each push. This made cloning via http possible. We ran a script "git check-perms /srv/git/rpms --check=post-update --fix" on pkgs01 that added this hook for every repo, but I forgot to add it to "setup_git_package" so that it would be added for every new repo. Now there are a handful of repos that do not have the hook, while most others do. Other than the inconsistency, this doesn't matter all too much. It is annoying, however, due to a cron job that is checking for the new hook, failing to find it, and bothering sysadmins about it over email. I'm seeking +1s for a freeze break to make the following two changes: 1) Run "git check-perms /srv/git/rpms --check=post-update --fix" on pkgs01 again to fix the handful of repos that are out of sync. 2) Apply the following patch in puppet which will add the hook for new repos. diff --git a/modules/gitolite/files/distgit/setup_git_package b/modules/gitolite/files/distgit/setup_git_package index bd42b95..eeaa16f 100755 --- a/modules/gitolite/files/distgit/setup_git_package +++ b/modules/gitolite/files/distgit/setup_git_package @@ -121,6 +121,9 @@ ln -s /usr/share/git-core/post-receive-fedmsg \ ln -s /usr/share/git-core/post-receive-chained \ $GITROOT/$PACKAGE.git/hooks/post-receive +# This executes "git update-server-info" on each push for clone via http +ln -s /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks/post-update.sample \ + $GITROOT/$PACKAGE.git/hooks/post-update rm -rf $TMPDIR echo "Done."

Fedora pastebin server (sticky-notes) - move to staging
by Clint Savage 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

For those of you who may be interested, we're finally moving forward to update the fedora pastebin server. We're planning the new pastebin to represent fpaste.org and be an instance of sticky-notes (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/sticky-notes). Athmane already has a puppet configuration and this is noted in the ticket below. We will also be needing to work with the maintainer of fpaste to update the configuration there and should have that part done soon as well. Any other information is in the ticket. https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1591 Please let us know if there are any concerns. Cheers, Clint

Please test: http://stg.fedoraproject.org/wiki/ The database conversion took about 45minutes or so, but seems to have gone fine, and we ran into a theme issue, but athmane managed to fix that right up. I've tested: * Login works. * editing pages works. * lockdown works because it won't let me edit Legal namespace pages. * pages load in general and look ok. * Performance seems ok. Please do check and make sure everything works as you expect. If things look good we can try and push this into production before the next freeze hopefully. thanks, kevin

Hello all, Your IRC handle: PatStein What skills you have to offer and which you would like to learn: Right now, I don't have much skills in this area. But I want to do system admin, and network admin work as my career. So I am starting to learn everything I can, I am getting LPIC +1, Network +, CCNA, and Linux + within the next few months. What you would like to work on and quite possibly which outstanding issues you would like to help resolve: I don't know yet, I am again just starting out with this. I would like to add that I am also a Fedora Ambassador. Thank You for your time, Patrick Stein
