New member intro
by Paul Guglielmino
Hello everyone,
I joined the mail list about a week ago and wanted to send an introduction.
I've been working with unix systems for about 10 years. First as a
volunteer at my university and then at several companies. I'm
currently working with a software company as an operations engineer
for a web application that is in development. I work with the
developers on design issues, maintain the build servers and deployment
tools and keep all the servers running. We use fedora, apache, tomcat,
hudson, svn and other open source tools. Shell or perl are my primary
scripting languages but I'm at an immediate level with python.
Thanks!

CVS upgrade step2
by Mike McGrath
So I was going to finish the upgrade to cvs1 on Thursday or Friday. Both
Jesse and Toshio are out of the country though and it strikes me as a bad
idea to make potentially massive changes to that box without having at
least one of them around as backup :)
So I'm going to wait until next week.

[PATCH RFC] hosted-setup.sh: Automate trac-admin initenv
by Todd Zullinger
This avoids the need for prompting for values that can easily be
determined from the project name and the new REPOSTYPE argument.
This could be further improved to call a script to setup the
repository and any mailing lists.
---
As I'm still learning my way around sysadmin-hosted, I thought I'd ask
for some comments before committing a change like this.
In the process of handling requests, I'm hoping to help improve the
documentation and process so that it is easier and less error-prone.
It should probably also use && after each command so that any failures
stop execution, but I haven't tested trac-admin to verify that it sets
the return code or not.

[PATCH RFC] hosted: Add mailing lists to new project template
by Todd Zullinger
---
This patch is for the fedora-web repo, but I wanted to get
opinions on whether it was desirable or not. In looking at the
documentation for creating a new hosted project, I wonder whether it
is obvious to users that they can get a mailing list(s) and if it
would make things simpler if this were part of the new project
request, rather than having them file another ticket?

Packagedb 0.3.x branch closed; 0.4.x open
by Toshio Kuratomi
Hi,
I've branched 0.4.x as the new stable development branch of the
packagedb. If you have bugfixes you should commit them there. If you
have features that do not remove or change the API incompatibly (ie,
removing URLs served or changing the parameters that the URLs take) you
may commit them to 0.4.x if you want.
If you have API changing features to add, please use the
fedora-packagedb-devel branch for that. This will branch for 0.5.x
sometime in the Fall/Winter.
Please do not use the 0.3.x branch. We won't be attempting to pull from
it anymore.
Thanks!

I think we may want to look at converting from our use of the update
hook to the post-receive hook for sending commit notifications.
Upstream moved the mail notification bits from the update hook to a
new post-receive hook only a few weeks after Jeremy added the initial
fedora-git-commit-mail-hook. So what we're running now isn't
something which will receive any attention or bug fixes from upstream,
unfortunately. The reasoning for upstream moving mail notification is
stated in the the commit message for 46d409d:
The update hook's only job is to decide is a particular update
is allowed or not. It was not the right place to send out
update notification e-mails from to begin with, as the final
stage of updating refs can fail after this hook runs.

New to the group
by Chris Krough
Hello everyone,
I am new to the group and would like to introduce myself.
I'm employed as a systems engineer (admin/developer) in the NOC of a
large hosting provider. Most of our infrastructure systems run RHEL
and various open source and/or in-house applications for supporting
and monitoring a large network. My coding skills are probably
consistent with those of a long time systems admin and linux geek, but
are not near "OS Developer" levels. When given the choice I code in
PHP or Perl, and a number of the applications I work with at the
moment are written in Ruby and Python, so I can find my way around in
them as well. I've enjoyed lurking and helping in IRC and would like
to get a bit more involved in the project. By joining the project I am
hoping to make some worthwhile contributions and possibly get some
exposure to different systems and software practices.
Thanks!
Chris
