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

GitLab packaging progress and discussion about deployment on fedorahosted
by Achilleas Pipinellis 19 Sep '13

19 Sep '13

Dear infra team and others that this mail may concern, As many of you know (I hope :p), one of this year's GSoC projects, is to package GitLab and all its dependencies for Fedora and later for EPEL. There have been at least 3 discussion threads about this since March [0][1][2][3]. I have been in contact with GitLab's core team and we talked about how we could all work together to make this happen and how GitLab could be eventually deployed in fedorahosted as an alternative git service. For the time being there are 2 major show-stoppers: 1) GitLab uses some forked gems. These are the forked gems by GitLab which add some extra functionality or fix some bugs of the original gem: Upstream | GitLab ------------------------------------- grit | gitlab-grit grack | gitlab-grack gollum-lib | gitlab-gollum-lib omniauth-ldap | gitlab_omniauth-ldap pygments.rb | gitlab-pygments.rb ------------------------------------- Vit Ondruch, my mentor, pointed me in these FESCO [4] and FPC [5] tickets, which pretty much conclude that: "FESCo is fine with forks as long as they are parallel installable and don't interfere with each other." and "The FPC does not see a need for additional guidelines relating to forks at this time, they should be treated like any other package." I also raised this issue in #fedora-devel today and they told me the same thing FESCo concluded. I think GitLab's forks don't abide by FESCo's verdict, as both original and forked gem are called with the same library, eg. require 'grit', so there is no distinction between them. I am cc'ing Sytse Sijbrandij from GitLab's core team to talk about what changes could be made in order for the forks to get accepted. 2) The feature of public browserability for non logged in users is not yet implemented. This long awaited feature is the major show-stopper for getting GitLab deployed on fedorahosted. Quoting Sytse's proposal: > Of the two improvements I think that 2) is the most necessary. Without > a public project UI Fedora will not switch to GitLab. There is already > a public project git clone functionality in GitLab. Opening up more of > the project such as issues might load to in-advert exposure of issues. > Therefore we want to do it only on a major version upgrade. We started > with GitLab 6.0 a week ago and would like to merge this fast so it can > be included in the beta released on July 22. If Axilleas works on this > then Dmitriy is prepared to coach him, this will be needed since this > feature will impact the whole application. > > Our proposal would be to: > A) Start working on the public UI immediately > B arrange a online meeting between Fedora and GitLab.com people to talk > about packaging > C) have beta version of GitLab run on a demo server with Fedora project > on August 1 > D) aim to have GitLab in production for all Fedora projects on > September 1 > > Of course this is just a proposal. We have too little knowledge of the > Fedora project to make a proper plan. The initial plan of the GSoC proposal is to package GitLab, but since I talked about it with Sytse I thought it would be more productive to bring the discussion here and sort some things out all together.

Askbot: Where are the theme changes?
by Ankur Sinha 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, I thought I'll look at completing the theme so we can think of finally moving it to production. Just one problem, I can't locate how the staging fedora theme was done. It doesn't appear to be a hotfix, and it doesn't appear to be a setting change from live settings either. Could some one please point me to where the modifications were made? I've filed a ticket to track the issue[1] I also noticed that the theme doesn't work well with cell phones, or probably smaller screens in general. Here's what it looks like[2]. Some additional work will be required to get the logo etc. to resize, I guess.

Askbot: Why not BeautifulSoup?
by Ankur Sinha 22 Jul '13

Hi, I was looking through the hotfix file for askbot and noticed we modify the html.py to not use BeautifulSoup? Just wondering why this is, and if it causes any changes in the behaviour of askfedora. -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora!
