Anonymized access log from a fedora mirror
by Lukas Zapletal 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hello, I have two students interested in diploma thesis called Yum plugin for suggesting packages based on usage: http://bit.ly/18hrHbL TL;DR - from anonymized access log, create a database of suggested packages using data mining techniques and provide a Yum plugin that would suggest "Users of vim also installed: ctags, git, ..." I am gonna create a Fedora Feature wiki page shortly describing this in more detail. Our goal is to offer this project for integration into Fedora later on, at least provide Fedora packages for it. To do that, we need good source of data. It would be best to collect access logs from one or two main Fedora mirrors. We would provide short script in Python that would parse access logs and anonymize the data (IP address hash-salted) and filtered only relevant data (RPM files from latest Fedora release or updates repositories). That would be phase one which should give us a sample data. Phase two would be to integrate this script with logrotate and for one Fedora release cycle (Fedora 19) the script would collect relevant anonymized data into a file. Final suggested package database would be created from this file (or maybe files to allow us to move them on the fly out of the stat directory). The big (legal) question is if we are able to provide this anonymized data to public, or if we want to sign NDA with all people involved. I am CCing Tom for this question. I need your help with connecting to relevant people. Any comments are appreciated. Many thanks and I hope this effort will lead to improving user experience with Fedora packaging. -- Later, Lukas "lzap" Zapletal irc: lzap #theforeman

Greetings. we are now in the infrastructure freeze leading up to the Fedora 20 Beta release. This is a pre-release freeze. You can see a list of hosts that do not freeze by checking out the ansible repo and running the freezelist script: git clone http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/infra/ansible.git scripts/freezelist -i inventory/inventory Anything listed as freezes is frozen until 2013-10-29 (or later if Beta slips). Frozen hosts should have no changes made to them without a signoff on the change from at least 2 sysadmin-main or rel-eng members. Thanks, kevin

Fedora search
by Frankie 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Hi guys, I hope all is well. I am writing in regards to something I had written about two months ago. This in regards to the search engine. https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1055#trac-add-comment I think we need to seriously fix this thing once and for all. I am looking at designing a solution for us. I however would like to start from the basics. We will need to look at the solutions that are present at the current time. This should allow us to critic and analyse them. I will then take this issue into the meeting for voting and whatever is decided is what I shall implement. Kindly do advice if you have any pointers on this project. I however must be honest and say it will take me about 2 months to complete when i start because I have a day job elsewhere. This does not mean I will not want assistance. As always assistance is highly appreciated. I hope this will be fruitful so we can close this once and for all. Or should I say until we need a revision done. Thanks, Kind Regards, -- Skype: Frankie Onuonga twitter: Frankie.onuonga irc #freenode: Frankie.onuonga

Your IRC handle IRC: masta FAS: parasense What skills you have to offer and which you would like to learn [So I stared at the screen for about 3 minutes, and blanked out.] Got just the usual skills. Many years of system administration, managed hosting, and development. lots and lots of scripting experience: bash, ksh, perl, php, expect. Currently learning python What you would like to work on and quite possibly which outstanding issues you would like to help resolve Fedora is in the process of bootstrapping a new 64 bit ARM (secondary) architecture. I'm here to help with the koji instance relating to 64 bit ARM. As an active participant in the Fedora-arm community, I'm well suited for this task. Would be happy to assist with any activities, react to alerts, fix trouble, etc. Thanks! -- -Jon Disnard

Freeze break request: drop http requests from abusive ip
by Kevin Fenzi 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Greetings. The last few days we have been getting 1000's of connections to dl.fedoraproject.org from a .ru ip address. They seem to launch thousands of downloads at once. This is causing download servers to alert about max processes and possibly not serve content to others. I'd like to block them in httpd for now: (note, IP changed below, since I dont think we want to point out this IP address for all time in our mail archives. The NN.NN.NN.NN will be replaced with the final IP when the commit is pushed) +1's? kevin -- diff --git a/modules/fedora-web/files/redirects.conf b/modules/fedora-web/files/redirects.conf index bbd3ced..717c3fe 100644 --- a/modules/fedora-web/files/redirects.conf +++ b/modules/fedora-web/files/redirects.conf @@ -15,6 +15,10 @@ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*/feed/index\.php\?pid2=.*&sid2=.*&mb2=.*&p RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://playdot.net/.*$ RewriteRule .* - [F] +# Drop connections from .ru site thats spawning thousands of connections at a time. +RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^NN\.NN\.NN\.NN$ +RewriteRule .* - [F] + # Comment this when there is a prerelease available #RewriteRule ^(/.*)?/get-prerelease.*$ $1/get-fedora [R=302]

Jenkins updates
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hi all, I have spent some time updating our jenkins server today. - we are now running the latest version - we have a brand new F19 builder (which builds fedocal fine) - all plugins have been updated to their latest versions (although some of them seems to not agree that they are) The F19 builder seems to have a problem, some package conflicting when trying to install the list of packages we ask. I have not looked into this yet. Let me know if you see any problem, Pierre
