Convenience Symlinks for Git Repos on Fedora People
by Jeffrey Ollie
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:

FYI: I'm vacationing
by Toshio Kuratomi
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.

OpenSuSE Buildsystem
by Mike McGrath
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?

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.

noc1 moved house
by Nigel Jones
Hi All,
Just FYI, noc1 moved from xen2 to xen5 today which frees up xen1 and
xen2 to be dedicated for releng :)

db1 is dead
by Mike McGrath
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.
