RFC Fedora 23 Change idea
by Dennis Gilmore 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hi all, I was thinking today that for Fedora 23 it would really cool to deliver a NAS version of Fedora 23. I could see it being delivered in 2 formats. 1 an atomic based disk image. it could be preinstalled, you dd the image onto a disk or a usb stick plug it in and boot, you could use initial-setup to set a root password, set timezone etc, then use cockpit to manage and configure. my thought here is that you could use a mirco-atx system with 4 or 6 sata ports and you use all the disks for data and boot and run the system from a small piece of media, 16 or 32G usb stick for instance. or even a beaglebone black or similar arm based device with a attached usb disk 2 as a option you can select on a regular install. The roles would be iscsi( or some other block device), nfs, smb/cifs. all managed and configured using cockpit, a user could carve up the attached disk, be able to alloacte nfs or smb/cifs or export some raw space as a block device, for use in vms etc. I know it is a pretty rough outline but figured I would get something out and some discussion to see if what others thought. I think especially the atomic version could be really useful. a very simple way to get some storage up and running and use and keep it updated. especially long term, since going from Fedora 23 to 24 should be a simple atomic update. Regards Dennis

Agenda for Server SIG weekly meeting (2015-05-26)
by Stephen Gallagher 26 May '15

26 May '15

So, given the discussion on the list about a NAS role, I think we have a topic to discuss today as we plan the F23 release. Additionally, we should follow up on the earlier topics of deciding on stable APIs and gathering documentation. Focus today should be on deciding our course and selecting a captain for each major effort. Agenda Topics: * File-sharing Role * Stable API Documentation * Dependency Chain Reduction (if we have time)

Council Engineering update
by Josh Boyer 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hi Server WG, As part of the on-going Council updates, I'm organizing a Fedora Engineering update. This includes the various WGs, rel-eng, infrastructure, and a few others. The idea behind this is to give a brief update of the work your group is doing towards the F23 and F24 releases. Think of this as a 5-10 minute "lightning talk" of the highlights you want to see in those releases. The meeting is July 7th. It would be excellent if you could have a volunteer present the update for your group and stay around to answer any questions. Worst case, please gather the information and send it to me and I can do the overview, but representation from the group is clearly preferred. If you have questions, please let me know. The idea and format are somewhat new, so we'll work through this as best we can. josh

Some analysis of dependencies in Fedora Server
by Stephen Gallagher 19 May '15

19 May '15

I noticed recently that the size of the Fedora Server DVD grew quite a bit between F21 and F22, despite not really changing the requested content. I've been trying to do a bit of analysis to see what packages are pulling in huge numbers of dependencies. For a first pass, I wrote a simple Python script to analyze the dep chains of every package on the Fedora Server standard install and also on the "full" install (clicking every optional component checkbox in Anaconda). Right now, the output only shows which packages have the largest *count* of dependencies (it doesn't dabble in installed size at all), but it can give us an idea of which packages are pulling in the most stuff and start focusing our efforts on breaking the dependencies. So, for each of the output files, what you will see is the recursive (non-repeating) count of the number of packages necessary to satisfy the dependencies for every package on the system. It's certainly worth mentioning that the "winner" is freeipa (specifically, freeipa-server-trust-ad, which pulls in pretty much everything else in the freeipa stack). With a little quick examination though, one can also see that pki-ca (a dependency of FreeIPA) is sixth from the top, so it's worth looking at whether any part of its chain can be broken. Anyway, enjoy this (mostly) raw data. I'll continue to process it and see what else turns up. Side-note: the two lists do not always have the same count for all packages; I suspect that this is due to having multiple possibilities to satisfy the same dependency, where one may be pulled in explicitly during the maximal install where the despsolver might have chosen another during the standard install.

Proposal to cancel weekly meeting
by Stephen Gallagher 19 May '15

19 May '15

We should have a release candidate for Fedora 22 sometime today. Instead of having a meeting today, let's just all focus on running through release validation if we can. We have a Go/No-Go meeting on Thursday and I'd very much like to see us ship on time if at all possible. Reminder: Adam Williamson is on vacation this week, so it's up to all of us to pick up the testing slack. I'll be doing my part. Please do yours.

Starting the Talking Points for F22
by Joe Brockmeier 18 May '15

18 May '15

Hey all, Have put up the page for talking points for this release: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_22_talking_points What we want to get to is a coherent story for Fedora 22 so marketing can weave that into the beta and final announcements, plus Ambassadors can use the talking points when they're at events (etc.), and for anybody who's talking to press about the F22 release. Cross-posting to working group lists to get feedback on the Cloud, Server, and Workstation editions. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier | Principal Cloud & Storage Analyst jzb(a)redhat.com | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/

F22 Final testing - I'm away
by Adam Williamson 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi folks! Just wanted to give a heads-up that I'm on vacation from tomorrow. I won't be around to do Server testing for the Final RCs. If the list could pick up the slack, that would be great. Thanks! Remember, you can always find the current validation pages: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test are the ones relevant to Server, and testcase_stats: https://www.happyassassin.net/testcase_stats/22/ can tell you how recently the tests have been run. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net
