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

Freeze Break Request - fedmsg for freemedia fedorahosted instance
by Ralph Bean 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

I just added a new badge this afternoon for people who complete freemedia requests: https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge/free-the-fedora It only needs the fedmsg hook to be enabled for the freemedia fedorahosted instance. There is a SOP for this: http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/infra/docs/fedorahosted-fedmsg.txt hosted03 is frozen right now, so I'm requesting a freeze break to enable the hook. It's a one-line change to the trac.ini for freemedia and requires restarting apache. It is of minor importance but would have relatively low impact if things went wrong. Can I get 2 +1s? -Ralph
