Gobby
by John Mahowald 13 May '07

13 May '07

I propose a gobby service be provided, perhaps gobby.fedoraproject.org. >From the package description: Gobby is a free collaborative editor. This means that it provides you with the possibility to edit files simultaneously with other users over a network. It supports multiple documents in one session and a multi-user chat. I see several uses for this, primarily in package spec review but also in document editing or collaborative hacking.

mirrormanager woes fixed for now
by Matt Domsch 13 May '07

13 May '07

A few things have conspired against mirrormanger in the last 12 hours, but appear to be going OK now. 1) httpd re-reads its mod_python targets when re-forking. I had moved the report_mirrorlist mod_python CGI, so that broke between midnight and 3:15am. Thanks to lmacken for restarting httpd on publictest7 for me there. 2) publictest7 went belly up about 10am. Pings ok, but can't connect. I moved the report_mirrorlist CGI over to app3 and got it running there serving traffic now. It belongs there anyhow. We need to get app3 httpd into supervisord to make sure that stays up now.

Fedora 7 Launch
by Mike McGrath 12 May '07

12 May '07

We've got a lot of prep work to do before Fedora 7 launches. I'd like to compile a list so if anything is missing let me know: 1) Static page content: Work with duffy, karsten, ricky and the websites team to create a nice looking static page. Even better would be getting this page into plone. Here's where it is at now: http://people.redhat.com/duffy/fedora/web/static-page.html Ultimately this page will be distributed to the mirrors in hopes we'll not need to use them. The idea is that a GET request followed by a REDIRECT is the easiest, most efficient operation we can do if our webservers get overloaded like they did last release. 2) Mirrors.fedoraproject.org: Looking good so far except for the memory leak which steps have been taken to negate. We will also need to deploy this on an additional box. I have an idea where to put it and hope to have it up fairly soon. 3) Proxy server upgrades. Right now our proxy servers are running stock RHEL4. We've been meaning to upgrade them to RHEL5 for a while now but they are on a different network segment then the rest of our hardware and as such we cannot easily pxe boot them (it would involve a request to the SOC). I'm going to put a plan together to do this and minimize any risk that may come up. The main benefit being mod_proxy_balancer. I'm still hoping we can acquire some hardware balancers but this will help us limp along for this release :) 4) PPC Builder: Is being delivered right now. Still needs to be installed, built out put into the koji mix. What am I missing? -Mike

python-kid on buildsys server
by Michael Schwendt 11 May '07

11 May '07

$ rpm -q python-kid python-kid-0.9-2.centos4 on buildsys.fedoraproject.org would benefit from an update to 0.9.5 which includes xml related fixes and makes it possible to create pages that don't fail in the w3c validator. $ rpm -q --whatrequires python-kid repoview-0.5.1-1.centos4

That's far from a good reason to not fix it nevertheless.

With publishing packages in EPEL comes the requirement to maintain them in EPEL many years with less or no opportunity to upgrade to a new API as time passes by. I'm not willing to do that. Other requirements, like createrepo-0.4.8 and its dependencies, have been installed in violation of that "policy".

wiki offline this morning
by seth vidal 10 May '07

10 May '07

Hey, wiki went away this morning - test2 was unhappy. oom-killer had gone wild - saying there was 0 swap available. I couldn't even login. So I connected to xen5 and bounced it. It appears to be up now but I just wanted to let folks know what was going on. -sv

mirrors.fp.o DNS change coming
by Matt Domsch 09 May '07

09 May '07

I think we're ready to switch mirrors.fp.o from fpserv to the PHX infrastructure with mirrormanger as the back end. For those interested in trying it out, put into /etc/hosts: 209.132.176.120 mirrors.fedoraproject.org then hit http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/ and subpages for the list of mirrors by country and content and /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files should hit mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=core-6&arch=i386 or similar (the default lines should be fine) Let me know if you run into any troubles.
