Okay, so here's my Request for Resources, figured I had better get it in so that it can *possibly* happen for FUDCon F11 Boston. Please let me know if you fellas have any questions.

Convenience Symlinks for Git Repos on Fedora People
by Jeffrey Ollie 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

I would like to automate the creation of symlinks to people's public_git directories on Fedora People. The symlinks would take the form /git/$user -> /home/fedora/$user/public_git Having these symlinks would make urls to git repositories on fedorapeople.org much simpler and would look like: git://fedorapeople.org/git/$user/$repo.git instead of: git://fedorapeople.org/home/fedora/$user/public_git/$repo.git I can't think of any downsides... The symlinks wouldn't take up much disk space, they wouldn't allow access to anything new, and wouldn't take much processing power to keep updates. A test run ran in under a second. Of course, the cron job would run as a normal user for extra safety. The script that I wrote is attached to ticket 1058: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1058 -- Jeff Ollie "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." -- Marcus to Franklin in Babylon 5: "A Late Delivery from Avalon"

FYI: I'm vacationing
by Toshio Kuratomi 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Just a heads up, I'm going to be taking all of the Christmas/New Years weeks off (ie: this weekend through Jan 4). I'll be near a computer for the early part of that so you can pester me for information if you see me then. I'll be away for the latter part, though, so I'll be mighty scarce from Christmas on. -Toshio

OpenSuSE Buildsystem
by Mike McGrath 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

I've been talking with some of the SuSE guys and we agree there's some overlap or at least coordination between their buildsystem and ours. The first obvious low hanging fruit is common macros. For those who wonder "why would we help OpenSuSE?" the answer is common goals, and better user experiences. The problem is time and coordination. So on a whim I thought I'd send this email out. Do we have any contributors out there who are both members of Fedora and SuSE who would be willing to lead this charge, find similarities and places for coordination? -Mike

Outage Notification - 2008-12-17 17:00 UTC
by Mike McGrath 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

There will be an outage starting at 2008-12-17 17:00 UTC, which will last approximately 4 hours. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2008-12-17 17:00 UTC' Affected Services: Buildsystem Database Unaffected Services: CVS / Source Control DNS Fedora Hosted Fedora People Fedora Talk Mail Mirror System Torrent Translation Services Websites Ticket Link: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1064 Reason for Outage: Part of the outage earlier this week involved moving our primary koji database to a temporary location. Now that the machine has been repaired its time to move it back. In order to keep downtime to a minimum and not interrupt the latest compose I'm scheduling this outage for a 4 hour window though it should only actually be down for an hour. As soon as the compose finishes I'll start. Contact Information: Please join #fedora-admin in irc.freenode.net or respond to this email to track the status of this outage.

db1 is dead
by Mike McGrath 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Long story short db1's server has had hardware issues... again. And my ability to grant the tech access does not exist and the normal channels for doing this on the weekend don't exist (yet). I'm hoping to deal with all this on monday. So what have we done? I got db1 up long enough to get a dump of the data off of it. db3 is now running the mysql db (db3 was designed to be a backup for db1 and db2 just for stuff like this) So sleep easy (I sure hope I will) knowing its all on good hardware. We'll have the tech come out and replace the motherboard (again[1]) and hopefully this box will be stable again. We got a bunch with the shipment this box came with but only it has had problems, some of you might remember the memory issues it had upon first install. Side note: I'm not going to be here much of the rest of this weekend or I would have had the tech come out on Sat. But we'll be fine till monday (thankfully) -Mike [1] This tech came out while I was on site but the installation failed and we needed to put the old mother board back in.
