Is there F11/12 test boxes around?
by susmit shannigrahi 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hi, When I try to test TG2 apps on publictest machines, they shout about python 2.4 and what not. Is there a spare machine which runs python 2.6? If yes, I could use it. Thanks. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

Introduction
by Gregory Sieranski 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi guys, I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a Programmer Analyst who works for a large fortune 500 company. I have been using Fedora for over 3 years and would love to give back in any way that I can. I absolutely love what Fedora and open source does and believe in both 100%. I am skilled in Java, J2EE, C, C++, Python, HTML, CSS and a bunch of other technologies. I am an avid programming language enthusiast and am working toward getting my Masters in Computer Science. I would love to contribute to the website project in any way that I can. I deal with website technology on a daily basis and feel that I would be able to provide a lot of help to the fedora website team. No task is to small. If you guys just need someone to enter text or change a CSS style I am willing to do it. Thank you for your time and I look forward to talking with all of you! -- -- Regards, Gregory Sieranski

Introduction -- new subscriber
by Andreas Osowski 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hello, My name is Andreas Osowski, I've been a Packager for the past ~6 months and joining Infrastructure has been on my todo-list for quite some time. After all, there is far more to Fedora than just Packaging :) I started using GNU/Linux on a regular base about 4 years ago, going from Debian to Fedora (and eventually from there on to Gentoo and back :) ) I've been a sysadmin at my school for the past 3 years where we are using a Linux distribution for schools (called Musterlösung) using PSQL, LDAP, Moodle and Linbo (an OSS solution for self-healing workstations). During the past few years, I have been running and administering various dedicated (and home) servers mostly based upon Gentoo Hardened, Debian or CentOS. I'm on good terms with RoR and Python and have used TurboGears from time to time in the past, mainly for recreational projects. I've been using Java and C++ for the past 4 years, too, but I am more interested in other areas right now. So yeah, I guess that I'm most interested in sysadmin-web for now, but I'm still unsure here; it might be a good start. By joining the sysadmin group I hope to be able to refine my skills in sysadmin matters and eventually become better in web development, too :) Regards, Andreas https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Th0br0

iptables heads up
by Mike McGrath 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

I just moved several hosts to using our new iptables module from the old configs template. It shouldn't have any impact on the firewalls as the rules haven't changed. But if people see anything... odd going on. Let me know. -Mike

Permission for an off-site copy of CVS
by Jon Stanley 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

In an effort to work on the cvs side of https://fedorahosted.org/packagedb/ticket/165 I'd like to have an offsite copy of cvs1:/cvs/pkgs to test on. Being that this is in violation of our security policy (http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/csi/security-policy/en-US/html/EndU…) and requires written permission, I'm asking for that permission here :) I just need two sysadmin-main members to +1 it, and I'll rsync it off tomorrow or so,

DNSSEC and Geodns
by Mike McGrath 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Nothing's ever easy, is it? So I got pdns up and going this afternoon with it's geo back end. It's working as expected and everything is good. The problem is pdns's dnssec implementation is... not particularly mature or really even usable AFAIK with geodns. Anyone out there doing both geo location and dnssec with their name servers? -Mike

Hi all, My name is René Jr Purcell and I'd like to join the Fedora community and I think the Infrastructure group is a good place to start! I started using Linux with Slackware 4.0, I remember all those night trying to understand this "new way of thinking and using computer" I had a lot of fun and I really started to understand and have fun after few weeks of work trying LFS (Linux From Scratch). I've been working as a Linux administrator for ther past 6 years, working with Suse linux enterprise server, RHEL and CentOS. During the past two years I got my CLP and RHCE certification which push me to try and use RedHat product. For now I'm trying to learn the administration of Oracle on Linux and I'm working hard to become a master of RHEV. I'm using Fedora daily, since Core 3 and I appreciate the work done by the community and I think it's the time for me to give back! Just like Ashley Biar ( who posted yesterday ) I'm not sure where I can start helping, I would like to learn first how everyone work together on the project, where are the biggest needs and I'll see later.. For now my main interest are the system administration and I'm trying to find if my knowledge of RPM could lead me to maintain/package rpms. Looking forward to see/chat with you on IRC. Regards René Jr Purcell

temporary rsync files visible on download-i2
by Adrian Reber 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

The configuration of download-i2 seems to be not the same as from the other non I2 download servers: rsync download-i2.fedora.redhat.com::fedora-linux-development/i386/debug/.~tmp~/ gives me a long list of files which should not be visible, whereas running rsync against the non I2 download server gives me rsync: link_stat "i386/debug/.~tmp~/." (in fedora-linux-development) failed: Permission denied (13) So the directory (which probably should not be there at all) is on both servers but the I2 server lets me also download it. Adrian

PackageDB 0.5.x branched
by Toshio Kuratomi 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

This is just a notice that PackageDB development is shifting to the 0.5.x branch and what that means if you have a checkout for hacking. First, the big news is that 0.5.x has been branched. We'll be working on stabilizing this with the goal of having a working version before Fedora 13 alpha (Currently scheduled for 2010-02-09). We'll have test releases on https://admin.stg.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/ before that time. 0.4.x is in maintainance mode. There probably won't be another release off of this branch although I will be committing any hotfixes that we generate for Fedora Infrastructure to it. If you want to work with 0.5.x the command to check it out is:: bzr branch bzr+ssh://bzr.fedorahosted.org/bzr/packagedb/0.5.x If you presently have an 0.4.x branch that you'd like to switch over to the 0.5.x branch, you'll need to do:: cd 0.4.x bzr merge bzr+ssh://bzr.fedorahosted.org/bzr/packagedb/0.5.x # Take care of any conflicts bzr commit bzr pull --remember bzr+ssh://bzr.fedorahosted.org/bzr/packagedb/0.5.x # Next time you push, use --remember as well to switch the branch you push # to by default # bzr push --remember bzr+ssh://bzr.fedorahosted.org/bzr/packagedb/0.5.x If you have changes that are going to change the API, are big changes, or destabilize things, please let me know and we can decide whether there's time to push them to 0.5.x or if they should go to fedora-packagedb-devel. We will be pushing a few more planned features to the 0.5.x branch but in general, we have a schedule to hit so we need to concentrate on getting the required features stable by the deadline. There are several big new features in the 0.5.x version and a reorganization of quite a bit of the code so I'll be spending quite a lot of my time working on this. If you need me for something else, I'll be on IRC but this is just a warning that I may not be able to help with random things as much as usual. -Toshio
