by Michael Schwendt

> Software error: > > install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains: -snip- .) at (eval 4) line 3. > Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed, > or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right. > Available drivers: ExampleP, Proxy, Sponge. > at globals.pl line 114 > > For help, please send mail to the webmaster (root@localhost), > giving this error message and the time and date of the error. Is what I get when trying the offered Bonsai CVS Tree Control Query Tool at: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/bonsai/cvsqueryform.cgi?cvsroot=/cvs/extras&... http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/bonsai/toplevel.cgi?treeid=extras Also desolate is LXR at: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/lxr/extras/source It points to out-of-date files from Nov 2006 just like the daily checkout seeds: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/webfiles/ The opened ticket has not gotten any attention yet. And yes, all this is offered at: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/extras.shtml

Multiple CLA Implementation

by Warren Togami

I just talked with Ken Reilly, one of RH's engineering managers. We are trying to solve the CLA problem, where legal surprised us by allowing Red Hat contributors to Fedora under Red Hat's CLA instead of Fedora's CLA. We both realize there are potential problems in this, but there is urgency to allow Red Hat CLA very soon because this blocks many Red Hat engineers from creating Fedora Accounts as we approach the merge. Below is an initial simple implementation to enable this very quickly. Luckily however, the groups shouldn't get in our way to further improve this process later. One Time Changes ================ 1) Existing cla_done is cloned to fedora_cla. 2) dell_cla group is created, Matt adds whoever he wants. Remove dell_cla members from fedora_cla. 3) redhat_cla group is created, populated through various means. 4) Modify existing Fedora CLA signing process to join fedora_cla instead of cla_done. Automatic Changes Thereafter ============================ fedora_cla auto adds to cla_done redhat_cla autoadds to cla_done dell_cla autoadds to cla_done Toshio's cvsextras -> fedorabugs code should work in these cases too? redhat_cla Management ===================== 1) (one time) Dump dist-fc7 package owners, match e-mail addresses with FAS accounts, add all those to redhat_cla. 2) (one time) Add everyone else that we know about who currently doesn't match e-mail addresses. 3) Give kreilly admin access to the redhat_cla group, so he can add/remove members in an interim. 4) Later give RH GIS access, so they can make it part of their standard "new employee" or "remove employee" process. See any problems in this? Please comment. We need this implemented REAL SOON, hopefully by tomorrow. Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

Trip to Phoenix

by Mike McGrath

I'll be traveling to our colo tomorrow night through Friday. I may be taking some boxes up and down for maintenance or upgrades. I'll give you guys as much notice as possible and I won't be taking any critical services down (so the wiki will be up even if I have to take one of the proxies down and I won't be messing with the buildsys or CVS at all. -Mike

Xen, application servers and going forward

by Mike McGrath

I'm working on getting our first production xen instance up and running for things like koji, smolt, bodhi and the package database. Here are some guidelines I'd like to put on the wiki as well as some changes I'd like to make. 1) xen dom0 - RHEL5 (its just a black box, lets set it up and forget about it) 2) after we update our RHEL4 boxes to RHEL5 We will maintain two types of servers, RHEL5 and FC6 (this is because not all required packages are in EPEL, and ultimately the FC6 boxes will probably become FC7,8,9 boxes. I'd like to keep just two types so we can create an appa[1-9] and an appb[1-9]. I'd like to put appa and appb behind a vip that gets balanced 1-9 RR. This will allow us to choose where we want to put our apps, stable environments vs cutting edge. 3) test and production xen guests will exist only on test and production xen hosts. (basically no mixing of production and test). Obviously emergencies are one thing but in general this is just for organizational purposes and because we may create a test network later and they won't be able to mix. 4) xen instances will be named by hostname. Naming by purpose is getting confusing. 5) We will probably start mixing hardware. Unlike before where we had builder hardware and app hardware, we'll be bluring this line as the need requires. I plan on building out a few more wiki instances before the F7 release. 6) Kickstarts - I'm working on a xen-host and xen-guest kickstart script. All of our boxes will be based off of one of these two scripts (they'll be sent to the list soon for examination / suggestions). Beyond that configuration will happen with puppet. Note: puppet can pull in config files, install packages and restart services. 7) Monitoring - I'm working on a monitoring piece (basically a web page) that will list exactly what xen guests are running on what xen hosts, if they are pingable, etc. What do you guys think? -Mike

nuking old zope/plone instance

by seth vidal

Hey, I've gotten the approvals from kwade and stickster (paul frields) about the old plone instance on fpserv.fedoraproject.org. I'm going to shut it down and kill it now as a step in killing all the extraneous services on fpserv. -sv

fedorapeople (planet and .org)

by seth vidal

Hey folks, So we've been thinking we're going to take fpserv.fedoraproject.org which lives at duke and make it into fedorapeople.org and also planet.fedoraproject.org fedorapeople.org will provide all the fedora account holders and groups with some quota-controlled space to put files up. what I was thinking might be cool is to reinstall fpserv with el5 so we can use Xen. Then setup 2 xen guests. 1 would be the system that people use to put their files up, the other would be for the planet code that makes the planet pages (planet.fedoraproject.org, etc) Does that sound pretty good to everyone? -sv

Introduction

by Pedro Fernandes Macedo

Hello list. I'm a lurker from the list that decided to help a bit . I work as a sysadmin here in Brazil, mostly with Fedora and Red Hat, but sometimes with debian, slackware , sometimes even sco unix and windows. My current focus is mail servers, so I guess I could help a bit in this area. My deployments are usually built around fc/rh + postfix + clamav + amavis (or maia mailguard) + postgrey . I"ve also worked a bit with nagios (not much, since we had one person who worked only with nagios at the time) and other network services. I'm also a bsc in computer science, so I got a bit of programming knowledge, even though most of my C is rusty, but my perl , php and shell script skills are still working. []'s
