[PATCH] Move owner-change to Monday at 10:00 UTC and to send to devel@ from nobody@
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

--- Hi, This commit makes the cron job run every monday at 10:00 UTC and send the email to devel(a)list.fp.o from nobody(a)fp.o as we discussed. It does mean that nobody(a)fp.o will have to be allowed to send to devel(a)l.fp.o (/me looks at Kevin ;-)) Could I have 2 +1?

freeze break - change process/thread count on mirrorlist-* servers
by Seth Vidal 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Hi, I'd like to change the number of processes/threads on the mirrorlist-servers. This morning we encountered a situation where mirrorlist-osuosl stopped being able to answer due to not being able to get responses back from the wsgi process server. After talking with Mdomsch he's suggested changing the config in the following way: diff --git a/files/mirrorlist/mirrorlist-server.conf b/files/mirrorlist/mirrorlist-server.conf index c96c35a..1ee87bc 100644 --- a/files/mirrorlist/mirrorlist-server.conf +++ b/files/mirrorlist/mirrorlist-server.conf @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ Alias /static /var/lib/mirrormanager/mirrorlists/static/ ExpiresDefault "modification plus 1 day" </Directory> -WSGIDaemonProcess mirrorlist user=apache processes=6 threads=25 display-name=mirrorlist maximum-requests=1000 +WSGIDaemonProcess mirrorlist user=apache processes=45 threads=1 display-name=mirrorlist maximum-requests=1000 WSGIScriptAlias /metalink /usr/share/mirrormanager/mirrorlist-server/mirrorlist_client.wsgi WSGIScriptAlias /mirrorlist /usr/share/mirrormanager/mirrorlist-server/mirrorlist_client.wsgi No other changes would be necessary. This is easy to revert if need be - can I get 2 +1s? -sv

Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction Avik
by Avik Pal 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Hi all, I'm Avik, Student of Computer Science at Bengal Engineering & Science University Shibpur. A little about myself:- I have about 5 years experience in programming, I am most fluently conversant with C, C++, Java, Python, Javascript. I was a member of the only team qualified from my university for the ACM-International Collegiate Programming Contest'12 regionals. I am an open source enthusiast and have experience working for open source projects. I have contributed to the open motion planning library (wrote a script to resolve installation dependencies). also I am presently working on a bug in Firefox for android. It has always been my dream to contribute to something as big as Fedora and I hope that under guidance from someone I will be able to fulfill it. I have very basic knowledge regarding kernel and would love to start working on something regarding that and try to learn simultaneously, actually I am interested to get started by working on any project which deals with core fedora services like packaging etc. I am accessible by both email and through IRC (nick *avikp* at freenode), I am from India and my time zone is *UTC+5:30*.

freeze break: puppetmaster update
by Kevin Fenzi 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Greetings. I have updated the puppet-server on lockbox01 with a build patched to fix http://puppetlabs.com/security/cve/cve-2013-3567/ Since this was a security issue, I went ahead and just did it. Hopefully we will see updated epel rpms soon, but this should hold us for now. Please do report any issues you see with puppet after this update. Thanks kevin

I can imagine that there are even people who experience the 'two- > accounts' as too much a burden and because of that never file bugs. That is a valid critique and one of the reasons is that Red Hat bugzilla isn't part of Fedora infrastructure and is disconnected from it but perhaps bodhi can accept open id logins?

Advertising "short links" in Ask Fedora
by Ankur Sinha 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi, We have a couple of "short links" in Ask Fedora: build#(\d+) -> http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=\1 bug#(\d+) -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=\1 rhbz#(\d+) -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=\1 wiki:(.+) -> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/\1 packagedb:(.+) -> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/\1 I was wondering if we could advertise them some how to make it easier for users/community members to add links to Fedora pages? I've added them to the sidebar in staging for the time being. It doesn't look too good though. Suggestions? Ideally, all of this would be much simpler to add to a sidebar in the question view, but there doesn't seem to be option to modify it at the moment. Upstream hasn't commented on it either[2]. I'd also like to add another "short link": question#(\d+) -> https://ask.stg.fedoraproject.org/question/\1 that would make it easier to point to duplicates etc. (At present, we post the entire link). So, we could write "duplicate of question#XXX" instead of "duplicate of https://ask.fedoraproject.org/questions/YYY/" "Short links" are modified using the settings on the MARKUP page[3] What do you folks think? [1] https://ask.stg.fedoraproject.org/questions/ [2] http://askbot.org/en/question/11041/how-do-i-modify-the-sidebar-for-the-ask… [3] https://ask.stg.fedoraproject.org/settings/MARKUP/ -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora!

nagios and ansible
by Seth Vidal 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

I've been thinking about how we should handle nagios in the ansible world. our current nagios config in puppet has a number of issues: 1. it's a bit cumbersome b/c you edit nagios independent of adding the host's config 2. when you remove a host the nagios config doesn't automatically go away 3. the fqdn/vpn hostname thing between noc01 and noc02 is kinda a giant pain in the ass 4. dependencies between Networks->vhosts->guests are manual and irritating to maintain. I'm open to suggestions about how to maintain all of this. Here are some ideas I've tinkered with: a. we stop putting nagios configs in the specific config mgmt entirely -and put it in another repo - like with dns. That doesn't make 1 or 2 any better - but it could allow us to script to make 3 and 4 much better b. we make populating nagios configs for hosts or services be a function of playbooking the host/group creation. So all of the nagios configs go on when you add the host. - tht doesn't solve 2 or 4 but maybe it does handle 1 and 3 a bit. c. we make the nagios configs generate from the host inventory data that ansible can retrieve. It will require us to define a series of additional variables per host or per group. So when you add a new host you'll need to wait for a cron run or an ansible run against our nagios hosts to get them to see the new hosts. With enough effort I think we can tag all of 1, 2, 3 and 4 in creating THE whole set of nagios configs that way and rsyncing them over using the ansible-rsync module (or just rsync). The problem with this one is that it seems like an all-or-nothing scenario - we need to drive ALL of our nagios configs off of this or none at all. With that in mind it seems like we would need to define hosts as part of ansible even if they are still being managed by puppet. That's extra work but I think it is work we'd have to do eventually. So (c) would be something like this: - take the list of hosts - look for a vmhost or if it is a cloud instance - make that a dep - look for a datacenter - make that a dep - look for a vpn cert - make that a dep - and on up the chain. - look for any special service definitions that we'd be managing manually - put all of the hosts definitions in one big file so changing out that file can be idempotent - put service definitions in individual files - but have the files rsynced over with --delete so removing one gets removed on the nagios side, too Anyone have an option D we should think about? I'd like to hear about more Thanks, -sv

Where to keep the badges repo?
by Ralph Bean 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

I spent some time last week learning ansible and setting up the new badges-backend01.stg. There's a daemon that runs there that reads in a number of yaml files. Each one defines a badge and a set of rules that must pass for the badge to be automatically awarded to a contributor (based on fedmsg activity). Up to now, I've been keeping all these badges in the ansible repo; ansible copies them into /usr/share/badges on the managed node. You can find the ones I have so far here: http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/infra/ansible/roles/badges-backend/… I need to get them out of the ansible repo. There's going to be too many of them, and we're going to be iterating on them and changing them often. I was thinking of creating another git repo on lockbox at /git/badges/ for this. In the longrun though, we want contributors from every corner of the community to contribute new badge ideas (come up with some artwork, make their own yaml definition -- and make it real). We'll have a process for debating and vetting new badges. GitHub's pull request work flow could be a good fit here. It would however set a new precedent for our degree of integration with gh.com. Any thoughts?
