As a mentor I'd feel bad telling people about Fedora's values and knowing at the same time the Project itself is not consistent with exactly these values. It's the same discussion we had for 3d party repositories, but we should focus on this single topic. Zanata actually is an alternative, probably not on the same level as TX, but anyway, I'd feel better using Zanata knowing we are respecting or 4 foundations, than staying on a proprietary tool.

[pkgdb2] Group Maintainership - Ready to test?
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Dear all, I have just put in pkgdb2's git what I believe is the current final touch to allow testing group maintainership in pkgdb2. Basically, pkgdb2 will now ask you upon log-in if you are: in one of the admin groups, a packager, in a group that is currently maintaining one or more packages in the database. I also created an `infra-sig` group in FAS with the type: pkgdb, the two requirements enforced by pkgdb2 are: - the group should be of type pkgdb - the group should end with `-sig` So I would like to ask who has some time to start looking at this, maybe early next week? On the pkgdb side, unless we want to change some things, I think it will be alright (and if not, I'll adjust), but I think we still need to adjust our scripts syncing ACLs to git and bugzilla or at least test them. We'll also probably want to see how bodhi reacts and if it allows a packager to create a package because the packager is in the appropriate FAS group. So, Toshio, Luke, would you have time to help with this? Thanks, Pierre

[Ask Fedora] What do we do with questions related to rawhide?
by Ankur Sinha 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Hi, Over the past few days, I've come across two questions where the asker was on rawhide. While I'd like to help these people, rawhide is way too quick and sometimes way too buggy - Ask Fedora is probably not the best place for these questions just like #fedora isn't - the Q&A mailing list is. Should we add a policy that says we will not deal with rawhide issues on Ask Fedora in general, and that people should head to the Q&A mailing list? https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/50379/fedora-21-rawhide-failed/ https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/50414/gnome-software-3133-shows-n… -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora!

FYI, note on sudo
by Kevin Fenzi 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Greetings. Thanks to some detective work from Siddhesh Poyarekar (a glibc maintainer) and then fas work from Xavier LAMIEN, we have now fixed the long standing anoying bug with fas enabled machines where users wouldn't get all their shell groups on login. This means you no longer need to run 'newgrp' before sudo, it should just work (provided you are in a group that is allowed to sudo on that host). Thanks again everyone involved. It's great to have this fixed. kevin

July status update for Fedora Infrastructure Apprentices
by Kevin Fenzi 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Greetings. You are getting this email because you are in the 'fi-apprentice' group in the fedora account system (or are reading this on the infrastructure list). Feel free to reply just directly to me, or cc the infrastructure list for everyone to see and comment on. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Apprentice At the first of every month(or so), I am going to be sending out an email like this one. I would like feedback on how things are going for you. I'd like to ask for everyone to send me a quick reply with the following data or anything related you can think of that might help us make the apprentice program more useful. 0. Whats your fedora account system login? 1. Have you logged in and used your fi-apprentice membership to look at our machines/setup in the last month? Do you plan to? 2. Has it helped you decide any area you wish to focus on or contribute to more? 3. Have you looked at or been able to work on any of the fi-apprentice 'easyfix' tickets? https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/report/14 4. Do you still wish to be a member of the group? If not (for whatever reason) could you provide any hints to help others down the road? 5. Is there any help or communication or ideas you have that would help you do any of the above? 6. What do you find to be the hardest part of getting involved? Finding things to work on? Getting attention from others to help you? Finding tickets in your interest area? 7. Have you been able to make any weekly irc meetings? Do you find them helpful or interesting? 8. What is your favorite movie of all time? Any other general feedback is also quite welcome, including improvements to this email, the wiki page, etc. Any folks I do not hear from in the next week will be removed from the group. (Note that it's easy to be readded when you have time or whatever and it's nothing at all personal, we just want to keep the group up to date with active folks). Thanks, and looking forward to your feedback! kevin

Dear infrastructure devs, My name is Michel Alexandre Salim (IRC handle: michel_slm); I've been a longtime contributor on the packaging side, and was previously involved tangentially with the sysadmin-darkserver FIG when Kushal and I were exploring a potential rewrite that ended up not take place. I'm currently in charge of system administration for a local ISP (cergis.net.id), and had a similar responsibility at my previous job for an Indonesian hospital group; and am versed in the tools that this team uses: - Linux - Fedora/CentOS (Debian too but that's not relevant) - Python - Django - SQL - MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle - Ansible I'm looking at the list of outstanding issues now -- I'll perhaps ask at the next meeting which of the non-sensitive issues could use some help at the moment. Best regards, -- Michel Alexandre Salim Fedora Project Contributor: http://fedoraproject.org/ Email: salimma(a)fedoraproject.org | GPG key ID: A36A937A Jabber: hircus(a)jabber.ccc.de | IRC: michel_slm(a)irc.freenode.net () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Following up on Atomic in Fedora infrastructure
by Colin Walters 13 Jul '14

13 Jul '14

For https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Atomic_Cloud_Image I was talking with Dennis Gilmore about some of what we would need to do in order to have Atomic be more closely integrated into the mainline infrastructure. >From memory, some action items: * Define repodata.xml or similar to enable mirroring, add mirrorlist support [walters] * Start doing tree composes in daily compose runs [dgilmore] * Move fedora-atomic git repository into fedorahosted [walters] * Determine how Anaconda-in-Koji can pull tree content [?] Also, I need to followup to Kevin on the mirroring, which is related to the last item. Dennis, can you post the picture you took of the whiteboard?

pkgdb2 obsolete field
by Christopher Meng 12 Jul '14

12 Jul '14

HI, I'd like to know what does "Obsolete" mean in the pkgdb commit access, and I couldn't understand why it still presents if someone has dropped the ACL. Plus, why can't the point of the contact remove the obslete acl? Thanks. Yours sincerely, Christopher Meng Noob here. http://cicku.me
