Cockpit 125
by Stef Walter 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-125.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 123, 124 and 125. Cockpit is now properly translatable ------------------------------------ Cockpit is now properly translatable. It was a big task to extract all the translatable strings and make translations work consistently between the browser and installed tools like the bridge. We now start also run the login user session with a proper locale and LANG environment variables. You can help translate cockpit in Zanata, or if you find text in the front end that isn't translatable, then please do report it. https://fedora.zanata.org/iteration/view/cockpit/master Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5362 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5418 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5418 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5420 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/1728 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5442 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5444 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5443 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5461 Display OSTree signatures ------------------------- Peter implement displaying OSTree tree signatures. You can tell where a certain update tree came from and who signed it. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/ostree-signatures.png Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5433 New expandable views for storage partitions ------------------------------------------- Marius implemented expandable views in the *Storage* pages. These let you dive into the details of a particular partition without having to navigate away from the page describing where it lives. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/storage-listing.png Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5097 Other storage fixes ------------------- Marius did work to fix many other storage related bugs. In particular Cockpit now deals properly with passphrases stored for LUKS encrypted devices, and also no longer offers to format read-only block devices. Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5343 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5097 Full testing on RHEL 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 8 Jessie ---------------------------------------------------------- The Cockpit project started testing on Cockpit on RHEL 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 8 Jessie along the operating systems we tested earlier. These will be part of our usual continuous integration, where we boot thousands or tens of thousands of instances per day to test changes and contributions. Marius fixed many bugs we found, and filed operating system bugs in the issue trackers for those operating systems. You can see the which operating systems we test Cockpit on: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html There's no Debian Jessie repository yet, but hopefully we can have that ready as time permits. Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5445 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5285 System shutdown can be scheduled by date ---------------------------------------- Fridolin did work a long time ago, so that users could select a specific date and time to schedule a shutdown or reboot of the system. Stef finished that work added tests and it's now in Cockpit. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/shutdown-date.png Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/2419 Properly terminate user sessions on the Accounts page ----------------------------------------------------- The Accounts page now properly terminates user sessions when the Terminate Session button is clicked. We use the correct systemd loginctl commands. Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5359 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 125 is available in Fedora 25: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-125-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/125 Take care, Stef

The Fedora Prioritized bugs and issues process
by Jan Kurik 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Hi everybody, as discussed in [1] email thread, we are starting the "Fedora Prioritized bugs and issues process" [2]. The main goal is to identify and make more visible bugs and issues which have critical impact on a Fedora Edition or on a council-approved Fedora Objective. We will start with our first evaluation meeting on Wednesday November the 30th, 2016 at 15:00 UTC on #fedora-meeting IRC channel [3]. I will be happy if people interested in participation on the evaluation will let me know, so we can setup the initial Evaluation team.

I won't be able to make it today and I know that several others are dealing with release-day issues. Probably best to cancel this week.

systemd centos7 backport from rawhide (repo availabile)
by Phil Dibowitz 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hey folks, [This is slightly off-topic, but it's related to direction of using redhat/fedora systems as servers, so I figured there may be interest here.] At systemd.conf this year we met a bunch of people who were interested in our (Facebook) work to backport rawhide's systemd to CentOS 7 (see our talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhYd0S3qiMY) we've released the repo of specs and diffs that make this possible here: https://github.com/facebookincubator/rpm-backports We hope to add more here over time (we're working on releasing initscripts backports now). We keep this repo in sync with our internal tools, so as the targeted software moves forward in rawhide, you should see the repo keep up. Feel free to email me on or off list as appropriate if you have questions/comments. -- Phil Dibowitz phil(a)ipom.com Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss

NFS Role Definition
by Jon Stanley 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

I'd like some feedback on a (very early) draft that I have of the document for the NFS role definition (if you'd like edit access, just shoot me an email): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLyKsECdHdlKltmHGgf_-iOKj-hj4Qjbh5Zgm7a… How I thought of this was to go from user stories, to technical requirements, and finally to activities to meet those requirements. The actor in all of the user stories in an inexperienced admin - are there other actors that we need to be concerned with? Totally open to feedback here - is this even on the right path?

Tasks for overseers
by Stephen Gallagher 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

At this week's Server SIG meeting, we put a call out for volunteers to oversee various parts of our upcoming deliverables. I'm going to start putting together a document and a presentation for the Fedora Council on this, but I need help from the overseers. Specifically, I'd like each of you to put together a "success" document. What I mean by this is a document that describes how exactly you will define your goals for that project during the next two Fedora milestones (F26 and F27). Essentially, it should be a set of things whose presence or absence is immediately obvious to an observer. For example, he's a very rough first draft of the firewall project: Fedora 25 Deliverables: * Fedora Server ships by default with a firewall that disallows all incoming traffic except that which is necessary to remotely administer the system using the official mechanisms[1]. * Fedora Server provides a local public API to manipulate the firewall. * The API for firewall manipulation is secured and accessible only to administrative users. Fedora 26 Deliverables: * We provide a set of playbook snippets to simplify the setup of firewall rules for the creation of new Server Roles with Ansible. I'd like to have these in the next couple weeks so I can merge them together into a single requirements document and probably Fedora Magazine post. [1] SSH, Cockpit and Ansible
