[OT?] removing plague jobs...
by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano
A question that may be off topic for the list...
I have a mock/plague build system I'm just configuring and I wonder how
can I get rid of old builds? (ie: erase all related files and clean up
the database). Should be simple[*] but as far as I can tell there are no
tools for that. I must be missing something obvious...

Bacula 2.2.8
by roger.sinel@lo.se
Hello,
Are there any plans to add the latest Bacula rpms to EPEL? It would be a
appreciated addition.
I'd like to upgrade my bacula 2.0 installation on CentOS 5 via yum.

livecd-tools, mayflower and revisor
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
Hi there,
Revisor 2.0.5-16.el5 shipped it's own mayflower package from what was in
livecd-tools as livecd-tools was not in EPEL and the upstream
maintainers did not feel like maintaining it in EPEL either. Now that
Rahul has submitted livecd-tools to EPEL, Revisor has a new build
without any mayflower and some bugfixes.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen

SOAPpy and ZSI
by Stanley A. Klein
I noticed that SOAPpy is in the EPEL repository. According to the
pywebsvcs web page:
SOAPpy
A second web services toolkit which is getting functionally
integrated into the ZSI toolkit. In the future, the Python Web
Services Project will only support one merged web services
toolkit, under the ZSI name.
I don't think SOAPpy is being maintained any longer. It should be
replaced with ZSI. This should apply to Fedora as well.

Duplicity 0.4.3 vs. 0.4.9 - incompatible update?
by Robert Scheck
Good evening,
I'm the EPEL maintainer of duplicity and I've the following problem: All
branches currently have 0.4.3 which has a) at least one unfixed CVE and b)
the version has several bugs which are fixed in later versions. If you're
looking to Red Hat Bugzilla, there are just a few issues tracked, but there
are many more - unfortunately. And the other thing is, that backporting is
IMHO very time-consuming, because there is active development and rewrites
of the code between the different versions without looking to downstream.
I would like to upgrade duplicity to 0.4.9 to get rid of this issues, but
upstream seems to smoke crack or whatever makes high. In duplicity 0.4.4 an
incompatible change was introduced: The command line syntax changed and is
not backwards compatible:
duplicity >= 0.4.4:
duplicity [full|incr] [options] source_dir target_url
duplicity [restore] [options] source_url target_dir
duplicity verify [options] source_url target_dir
duplicity collection-status [options] target_url
duplicity list-current-files [options] target_url
duplicity cleanup [options] target_url
duplicity remove-older-than time [options] target_url
duplicity <= 0.4.3:
duplicity [options] input_directory destination_url
duplicity [options] source_url target_directory
duplicity [options] --verify source_url filename
duplicity [options] --collection-status source_url
duplicity [options] --list-current-files source_url
duplicity [options] --cleanup target_url
duplicity [options] --remove-older-than target_url
Are there suggestions how to get rid of this? Just break everything in EPEL
and push? Is somebody a good python hacker and can provide a compatibility
patch or similar?
Oh and somewhen since > 0.4.4, python 2.4 is required means, that EPEL4 can
not be updated normally, because python 2.3 is there. Luckily it is just a
decorator syntax which I was able to rewrite with less work. Command line
problem still remains: Comments or ideas?
Greetings,
Robert

= Weekly EPEL Summary =
Week 05/2008
== Most important happenings ==
* EPEL5 testing -> stable move happened (as always around the 1st each month). We have now 1011 different software packages (counting SRPMs) in the EPEL5 proper repositories for RHEL5/CentOS5.
* Two things from https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00191.html
* Stephen J Smoogen ([:StephenJSmoogen:smooge]) filled the vacant seat in the EPEL Steering Committee
* Thorsten Leemhuis ([:ThorstenLeemhuis:knurd]) will step down as chair for the EPEL Steering Committee; he also plans to leave it, thus there is another seat to fill (see also https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00177.html ); self nominations welcome
== Mailing list ==
=== Noteworthy discussions ===
* Xavier Bachelot is working on rt3 for EPEL: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00174.html
* Michael A. Peters want to see Gnome office in EPEL: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-February/msg00000.html

* [:MichaelStahnke:stahnma]
Summary:
* broken dep reports go to the list | mmcgrath ? | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc
* the old script isn't running anymore
* discussing how to move forward; the script from mschwendt looks better then the old one, as it mails the list as well (and likely runs faster); more discussions needed (see also: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00194.html )
* next testing -> stable move | knurd | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove
* knurd prepared it prepared and improved the docs how to do the move
* KojiAndBodhiForEpel | mmcgrath | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/KojiAndBodhiForEpel
* no news from Jess_S or mmcgrath
* fill the steering committee | all | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc
* smooge (who self nominated on the list) was approved as steering committee member
* knurd want's to leave:
* thus we have a vacant seat again; self-nominations welcome; quaid: "I wonder if any of the RHTers who deal with RHX would be interested"
* smooge and nirik are nominated as new chairmen; more nominations welcome; new chair will be elected in the next meeting
* new meeting time can be discussed
* Free discussion around EPEL
* smooge> | ok how are we doing for packages etc? how many are still in waiting to be branched etc? and wish list?
* no exact numbers, but there are likely about 2500 - 3000 packages (counting SRPMS) in Fedora which are not in EPEL
* smooge> | I think once we are pushing things regularly and getting more packages.. it would be a good idea to start recruuitiong more mirrors
* more mirrors can't hurt; asking on that closed mirror list might be the best start to get more mirrors

mock and local repo cache
by Michael A. Peters
neither package foo nor bar are in an existing repo that mock can see.
package bar BuildRequires package foo-devel
mock builds foo and then I put it the results local repo and run createrepo
then attempt to mock build bar and build fails because it can not find
package foo-devel.
if I manually delete the mock cache for the local repo, then mock finds
foo-devel and builds bar.
I did not have this problem with the old version of mock from CentOS
Is there a way to configure mock to not cache the local repo?
