Fedora Project Infrastructure Map/Landscape/Overview
by jtroan＠jt-sw.com 15 May '14

15 May '14

As a follow-up from today's infrastructure meeting, this is a heads-up to everyone on the mailing list that I'm starting work on the (current) FP Infrastructure "Map/Landscape/Overview" (as Kevin phrased it). In gathering information, my starting points are -- 1. http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/infra/docs/ 2. Nagios, both the map and lists of servers 3. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Architecture (some older information -- thanks Kevin!) 4. browse the list of servers in the DNS tables If anyone knows of another place I should also look at, please let me know. The final output is yet to be determined, but I've thought about .png (portability) and .pdf (in-line links). Considering the need to update it, .png is the front runner. Now that I know about the architecture wiki page (#3 above), I'm starting to lean toward making an updated version of the wiki page. Also.... if you want to e-mail me directly, use jtroan(a)jt-sw.com. Please use "FP:" -- that is a colon at the end -- in the subject so that my mail rule will re-folder it next to the stuff I get from this mailing list. Side note..... I'm looking for suggestions on what info to add for FP into my .sig -- intermingled with my football and Trek club blurbs. :-) Thanks..... ======================================================================= John M.

Meeting Agenda Item: Introduction Michael Haynes
by Michael Haynes 13 May '14

13 May '14

Greetings. My name is Michael Haynes (IRC: mhaynes) and I'm from southern Alabama in the US. I've been working with computers for around 25 years with 20 of them being in a professional capacity. Over the years I have worked in PC support, network installation and support, and for the past 8 years as a developer. Currently I am working toward moving more into system administration and security. I would like to apply my current skill set to the Fedora project in any way I can while getting some more hands-on experience with administration / security so that I can build up that skill set to an acceptable level. Here's a short list of what I bring to the table: - C++, C#, Java, Python - HTML, Javascript, JQuery - XML, XSLT, XPath - MS SQL, PostgreSQL - A+, Network+, Security+, MCP, and several CIW certifications. Currently preparing for the Linux+ and hope to achieve that within the next 6 weeks. - Good communication skills (and not too shabby at documentation) There are several goals I hope to achieve here. First and foremost is the opportunity to be a part of this community and learn from you all while hopefully contributing something positive back to the group and the project as a whole. And on a personal level I want to further develop my current skills while also building up the required skills to move my career in a new direction. For the next few weeks I will probably be hiding in the background just trying to get acclimated to how the team works and the processes you follow. Once I've got a good feel for things I'll be jumping in with both feet! Feel free to contact me at mhaynes.linux(a)gmail.com if you have any questions or just want to chat about something. Thanks, Michael Haynes

private/topic branches in dist-git
by Honza Horak 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi, I've found a proposal [1] and removal manual [2] for private topic branches in Fedora dist-git, but no official documentation for that. What I'm looking for is a way to collaborate on some bigger change between co-maintainers or keeping a different dist-git content for copr build for example. I tried to create one such a topic branch with private- as a prefix and it seems to work fine. If that is an expected way to do such things, is there any documentation I just have not found or should we create one?

How mirrormanager works
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 04 May '14

04 May '14

Hi Matt, I would like to run by you my understanding of how mirrormanager works, I hope I am not to far from the truth but please if I am let me know :) Mirrormanager is splitted into three parts: the UI, the API and a cron task. The UI is the current TurboGears1 application [1]. People can login in there and register an institution (Site) with one or more sub-domain (Host) each mirroring one or more Product (Fedora, EPEL...). For each sub-domain (Host), there are a number of settings available such as from where the mirror pulls its updates, who can pull from it, restricting the user's country or network. Users manage their mirror there, admin can access any Site/Host and update their settings as well. The API is a cgi script, called in our case by yum, which redirects the user to the closest mirror, active, up-to-date and according to the settings of the mirror. The cron task, runs daily and crawls the mirror to check if they are up to date or not and register in the database which folder are up to date and which are not for every single mirror. This cron task (or is it another?) also generates the publiclist pages [2] using the data it just retrieved about each mirror. I have been trying to figure out how exactly are retrieved the mirrors on publiclist. I found the query used by MM1 [3] and I was wondering if there would not be a way to simplify that. Would it be an option to have the cron task setting a flag on the database saying if a host is up to date or not? Or am I missing some of the information? If we could simplify this part we could drop the cron task generating the publiclist pages and just display them on the fly as part of the UI. As part of the re-write, there is of course the UI since it is TurboGears1, but the CGI script and the cron tasks should not need much changes, would they? Thanks for your help, Pierre [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/ [2] http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/ [3] https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/mirrormanager/tree/server/mirrormanager/m…
