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

areas where we can invest in automation?
by Matthew Miller 30 May '13

30 May '13

I was asked (with my Red Hat hat on) to put together a little report on areas in Fedora which could be improved with an investment in better automation. From what I'm working on myself, I'm aware of the gigantic need in the cloud images production process, and I've been keeping an eye on Tim Flink's autoqa revamp ideas. I expect there are others, because I know from my previous jobs that there's always a balance between building condiment-passing machines and just _passing the salt_. [1] Are there other things which could be made better if only someone came up with the spare time and resources to do the work? 1. http://xkcd.com/974/ -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

Fedora 19 Beta Freeze in effect.
by Kevin Fenzi 29 May '13

29 May '13

Greetings. we are now in the infrastructure freeze leading up to the Fedora 19 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 2013-05-28 (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

Cron the fedora-owner-change?
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 28 May '13

28 May '13

Hi all, Yesterday I announced an idea that I've had of using datagrepper to announce package ownership changes [1]. The feedback seem positive, so I change the script [2] to send the email directly, so basically we can run it via a cron job easily. Do we want to have this script as a cron job in the infrastructure? All it needs to run is argparse and requests. The following question is how often should the cron run, this is opened for discussion. Regards, Pierre [1] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-May/182783.html

Observed Advantages to using Github?
by Tim Flink 28 May '13

28 May '13

As I recall, one of the claimed advantages of using github over fedorahosted is the ease with which people can submit code - the idea being that new contributors are more likely to have a github account than a FAS account. I'm curious whether anyone has observed an uptick in external contributions since the switch over to github, does anyone have any numbers or opinions on that? Tim

Freeze break request

24 May '13

Please forgive me if this isn't the right format for this request; it's been a long time since I've done one of these. I need to push the following change to the review-stats code through puppet: diff --git a/modules/review-stats/files/review-stats.py b/modules/review-stats/files/review-stats.py index 2c59752..e494168 100755 --- a/modules/review-stats/files/review-stats.py +++ b/modules/review-stats/files/review-stats.py @@ -205,7 +205,7 @@ def run_query(bz): bugdata[bug.id]['hidden'] = 1 # Get the status of each "interesting" bug - for i in seq_max_split(alldeps, 500): + for i in seq_max_split(alldeps, 100): for bug in filter(None, bz._proxy.Bug.get_bugs({'ids':i, 'permissive': 1})['bugs']): interesting[bug['id']] = bug RHBugzilla is pretty broken right now, and I'm working on fixing this code upstream in a better way which I will push once we unfreeze, but this is the minimal fix that appears to at least get the script to complete without throwing proxy errors. It takes ages to run but it does eventually finish. - J<

Freeze break: clean up logs on db01
by Kevin Fenzi 24 May '13

24 May '13

db01 is low on disk space again. This is due to us keeping transaction logs for a long long time. I would like to delete jan and feb transaction logs to free up space for now. After the freeze, we should fix this with a proper tmpwatch setup. +1s? kevin
