Reminder: Next meeting on 20080116 at 18:00 UTC Summary will be part of this weeks report (as always) 00:00:01 < knurd> | Hi everybody; who's around for the EPEL meeting? 00:00:01 * | knurd likes to remind everyone that the schedule for todays meeting as well as a list of all open tasks can be found on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Schedule 00:00:01 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Sig meeting -- Meeting rules at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/MeetingGuidelines -- Init process 00:00:14 < mmcgrath> | pong 00:00:14 * | nirik is here. 00:00:35 --> | stahnma (Michael Stahnke) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:00:46 < knurd> | ohh, and happy new year everyone 00:01:03 < EvilBob> | happy new year knurd 00:01:11 * | _blah_ can't believe it is 2008 already 00:01:17 < stahnma> | greeting's ya'll 00:01:38 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | next testing -> stable move | knurd | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove 00:01:40 < nirik> | happy new year back at you all. 00:01:47 * | quaid is here 00:01:47 < knurd> | so let's start 00:02:03 < knurd> | I wrote to the list about $TOPIC already 00:02:16 < knurd> | I'll prepare the next move this WE 00:02:20 < knurd> | for EPEL4 00:02:22 < nirik> | yeah, that sounds good. I think we should setup specific times for stable pushes. 00:02:31 < nirik> | ie, should it be every 2 weeks? every month? 00:02:32 < knurd> | yeah, might be a good idea 00:02:39 < knurd> | every four weeks? 00:02:41 < nirik> | so people know when to expect it, rather than ad-hoc 00:03:24 < knurd> | EPEL5 early each month, EPEL4 mid each month? 00:03:29 < nirik> | every 4 weeks sounds ok to me... 00:03:50 < nirik> | so how long does something need to be in testing? a full 4 weeks? or ? 00:04:16 < knurd> | at least two weeks? 00:04:25 < mmcgrath> | <nod> a schedule. 00:05:12 < nirik> | 2 weeks seems ok. So, around the 1st for epel5, and around the 15th for epel4? 00:05:19 < knurd> | nirik, +1 00:05:31 < knurd> | I'd say I write that to the list and ask for opinions 00:05:39 < knurd> | if that's fine for everyone we just do it 00:05:48 < stahnma> | fine with me 00:06:08 < nirik> | fine with me. I think a regular schedule is good. Let me know if you want me to try and do any of the pushes... 00:06:16 * | knurd will move on then if no one yells 00:06:27 < knurd> | nirik, I'll try to write down the proceedure next time 00:06:55 < nirik> | ok, I'd be happy to help, or just let you do it. ;) 00:07:07 < knurd> | :) 00:07:09 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | EL-updates to the buildsys | unassigned | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc 00:07:25 < knurd> | dgilmore, mmcgrath, how hard would be to realize that? 00:07:42 < mmcgrath> | using RHEL, not sure. 00:07:42 < knurd> | there was this build problem from remi on the list 00:07:45 < mmcgrath> | it'd be easy with CentOS. 00:08:14 < knurd> | https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00000.html 00:08:17 < mmcgrath> | We just need to figure out a way to keep the RHEL tree updated in an easy way. 00:08:26 * | nirik suggests we switch to centos? :) 00:08:48 * | mmcgrath one sec on the phone with IBM 00:08:50 < knurd> | nirik, that creates just problems in the other direction 00:09:02 < knurd> | and no support for ppc (yet) 00:09:07 < nirik> | yeah, I suppose... ;( 00:09:18 < stahnma> | can we just get entitlements from RH? 00:09:26 < stahnma> | this seems like it shouldn't be THAT hard 00:09:30 < knurd> | and people yeeling "why didn't you update to RHEL 5.2" 00:09:33 < mmcgrath> | we have entitlements from RH but its a matter of keeping it up to date. 00:09:58 < _blah_> | do we just fix build problems as they come up for now? 00:10:08 < knurd> | mmcgrath, can't reposync solve the problem? 00:10:18 < mmcgrath> | possibly. 00:10:19 < knurd> | _blah_, until now we ignored the problem 00:10:28 < _blah_> | knurd: :) 00:10:38 < knurd> | _blah_, that's why I ddin#t answer yet on remi's mail 00:10:42 < mmcgrath> | We're doing similar things in our infrastructure already. how often would we propose running it? 00:10:42 < nirik> | so does it require manually pulling updates and adding them to plague right now? 00:11:02 < dgilmore> | mmcgrath: daily or weekly 00:11:03 < knurd> | mmcgrath, a cronjob that runs once or twiecea day maybe? 00:11:18 < knurd> | s/twiecea/twice a/ 00:11:20 < dgilmore> | knurd: certainly not more than once a day 00:11:40 < nirik> | daily would be great. 00:11:50 < nirik> | weekly would be ok if daily causes issues IMHO 00:11:57 < knurd> | dgilmore, well, if we get stuff into EPEL that depends on a specific firefox then daily is a minimum 00:12:07 < knurd> | or how is the firefox problem handled in EL? 00:12:18 < knurd> | is there s stable firefox abi? 00:12:24 < nirik> | I don't think rhel pushes updates more often than once a day anyhow, does it? 00:12:27 --> | awjb (Andreas Bierfert) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:12:37 < nirik> | no, no stable abi... it's firefox-devel like fedora. 00:12:41 < dgilmore> | knurd: rhel is lucky to get updates weekly 00:13:03 < knurd> | dgilmore, yeah, but if there is a new firefox we should rebuild stuff against ir quickly 00:13:14 < dgilmore> | knurd: there is no way it should be done more than daily 00:13:18 < nirik> | daily would be great if possible... dgilmore, could you set that up? 00:13:24 < dgilmore> | nirik: no 00:14:02 * | Jeff_S shows up a bit late... 00:14:06 < nirik> | ok. :) perhaps mmcgrath could? 00:14:12 < knurd> | who can set this up? Does anyone from us besides dgilmore and mmcgrath have access to the machines? 00:14:43 < mmcgrath> | knurd: anyone in sysadmin-main 00:14:46 < dgilmore> | knurd: it is not a matter of just having access 00:15:11 * | quaid senses a stronger objection 00:15:15 < knurd> | dgilmore, --verbose? 00:15:46 --> | kital (JoergSimon) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:16:30 < mmcgrath> | we'd have to make sure we're getting all the various channels copying them to the right place and running the createrepo script on them. 00:16:30 --- | rdieter is now known as rdieter_away 00:16:35 < mmcgrath> | it can all be scripted. 00:16:49 < mmcgrath> | at least I think it can. 00:16:58 < mmcgrath> | we also have to do bad things to get it to contact RHN properly. 00:17:50 <-- | mbacovsk has quit (Remote closed the connection) 00:18:07 < knurd> | so, what to do? 00:18:10 < knurd> | put it on a todo list 00:18:11 < mmcgrath> | So the decision has been made? "We want this to run daily?" or some such thing? 00:18:12 < nirik> | well, the other options I see: do the updates at the same time as the stable pushes? 00:18:18 < knurd> | put it high on the todo-list 00:18:24 < knurd> | ignore the problem? 00:18:25 < nirik> | or just: 'apply updates as people require them' ? 00:18:29 < mmcgrath> | make a ticket it - https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ 00:18:35 --> | mbacovsk (Martin Bacovsky) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:18:56 * | knurd will file a ticket 00:19:04 < knurd> | then we can see where we get from there 00:19:10 < knurd> | that okay for everybody? 00:19:43 < nirik> | sure. I think daily would be great, but less often would be fine too. 00:19:54 < knurd> | nirik, yeah, for the start less often should do 00:20:00 * | knurd moves on 00:20:03 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | RHEL MetaData | stahnma | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/RhelMetaData 00:20:05 < knurd> | stahnma ? 00:21:00 < stahnma> | sorry 00:21:08 < stahnma> | not much to update 00:21:14 < stahnma> | I am working on it 00:21:21 < stahnma> | and didn't have much time over the holidays 00:21:24 < stahnma> | am hoping for more very soon 00:21:31 < knurd> | k :) 00:21:38 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | KojiAndBodhiForEpel | mmcgrath | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/KojiAndBodhiForEpel 00:21:41 < knurd> | mmcgrath, any news? 00:22:01 < mmcgrath> | knurd: nothing over the holidays.

Faster builds
by Michael Schwendt 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Some good news for package maintainers with many sub-packages: Plague used to sleep at least 20 seconds for each (!) file it had to download from a builder. Even downloading the several small log files used to take at least 20 seconds *each*. Reading and debugging the code, I found the source of the problem and taught the build server to sleep less when files are being downloaded. Interestingly, the speedup is noticeable even for tiny build-jobs, e.g. revisor down from 7m to 4m nagios down from 6m to 4m but it will be incredible for build-jobs with a larger number of pkgs (e.g. try moodle or nagios-plugins which are in EPEL already). That means, such packagers get the build-results and the mail notification much faster.

Please add the following to the wish list: Inkscape - SVG-based drawing tool. Also good for rendering hand edited svg wxPython - Wx is already provided. This is the Python interface Xpdf - Useful because of utilities and evince limited previous file list Bluefish editor - provides editing capabilities not found in gedit octave-forge - Octave is already provided. These are needed octave add-ons. xmlcopyeditor - This one isn't in Fedora but had provided Fedora rpms. Thanks. Stan Klein

plague: Job waited too long for repo to unlock. Killing it...
by Michael Schwendt 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

If in a failed job.log you see the message Job waited too long for repo to unlock. Killing it... please notify me. It's a problem in the plague server code that results in a denial of service for subsequent build jobs. I have a traceback from Dec 28th, but in the context of the source code it doesn't make sense yet (because a few lines earlier the code ensures that the files to be copied exist and are readable). Buildsys runs a slightly modified version that adds a bit more debug output in this area. [...] 37683 (grads/ppc): Build result files - [ 'state.log', 'grads-1.9b4-21.el5.src.rpm', 'grads-debuginfo-1.9b4-21.el5.ppc.rpm', 'grads-1.9b4-21.el5.ppc.rpm', 'root.log', 'build.log', 'job.log' ] 37683 (grads/x86_64): Build result files - [ 'root.log', 'build.log', 'grads-debuginfo-1.9b4-21.el5.x86_64.rpm', 'grads-1.9b4-21.el5.x86_64.rpm', 'grads-1.9b4-21.el5.src.rpm', 'state.log', 'job.log' ] 37683 (grads/i386): Build result files - [ 'build.log', 'state.log', 'grads-1.9b4-21.el5.i386.rpm', 'job.log', 'root.log', 'grads-debuginfo-1.9b4-21.el5.i386.rpm', 'grads-1.9b4-21.el5.src.rpm' ] Repo 'fedora-5-epel': updating repository metadata...

Revisor built in EL-5
by Jeroen van Meeuwen 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi All, I'm glad to be able to tell you Revisor has been successfully built in the EL-5 branch ;-) Results are now at http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/plague-results/fedora-5-epel/revisor/2.0.… and should hit epel-testing soon. As I'm not exactly sure when the package hits epel-testing or when it is removed from the above URL, feel free to use http://www.kanarip.com/custom/el5/ but keep in mind that has other versions of Revisor, and other packages as well. Looking forward to your bug reports and comments ;-) Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen

BUG: clamav packages badly broken
by Florin Andrei 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Just a few quick observations: I am trying to use clamd with amavis and Postfix. Amavis is supposed to pass the attachments to clamd via a Unix socket. That's how it worked for a while with the clamav packages made by Dag Wieers, no problems at all. Today I uninstalled Dag's packages and installed the EPEL ones instead. Big mistake. The /etc/init.d stuff is badly broken. There isn't even a script proper, there's just a symlink to a wrapper. The wrapper file is not in the recognized init.d scripts style. There's a clamd.init file somewhere in /usr/share, but there's a <SERVICE> tag in it that needs to be adjusted. That same tag is somehow propagated in the clamd.sysconfig file and possibly in a buch of other places. No explanation for its purpose. The way it currently is, the scripts just fail. Why is the package failing to work after install? Why it doesn't just work? Why the over-engineered customization with <SERVICE>? There's a bunch of CLAMD_SERVICE variables sprinkled all over the place in the wrapper script, that appears to be related to the <SERVICE> tag. Holy freaking bejesus. Why should I care about that? If I wanted to care about that, I would install clamav from source, thank you very much. After installing clamav-server and the related packages, the stuff should Just Work (TM). It should not require dozens of obscure tweaks. What's the point in having a package otherwise? The Dag packages simply worked, as they always do, perhaps with some small adjustments in the .conf file. I uninstalled them today, due to a conflict with EPEL and thought I could use the EPEL packages instead. How silly of me. If I can't figure out how to make the EPEL stuff work, I'll have to go back to Dag's packages and set up all kinds of exceptions in yum, to work around the broken EPEL packages. How did these packages go through the verifications before being made public? Meanwhile my mail server can either be offline, or without an antivirus. Merry Christmas. :-( -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/repoview/ I've been waiting for one package to appear for quite a long time (ocaml-libvirt). It hasn't appeared in the list of latest packages above.
