Ok. Looks like this one _may_ fulfill our calendering needs. Testing required.

Hi, I am quite "frightened" to take up this topic again and again lest you all be bored. But interestingly, this one http://publictest15.fedoraproject.org/calender/ can fulfill all our requisites. But, I don't use a calender on my phone, so I never used remote export/import etc. And no surprise that I shall not be able to test it fully. So, if someone who is familiar with these help me out, it will be nice. Thanks.

hosts for rawhide build chroots - different rpm versions?
by Axel Thimm 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi, AFAIK the build hosts are RHEL5 (or maybe F10 by now?). At any rate the rpm used in rawhide is quite different than the ones from the hosts, how has this been solved in the build hosts? Has the hosting OS upgraded its rpm to be compatible to all hosted chroots? Or is the rpm within the chroot used? I'm asking in a double context: First I'd like to understand if smart can properly handle chroots of rawhide/F11 on F10/RHEL5 hosts. Anders Björklund (in the Cc, please keep him there on replies) has put a great deal of effort to have smart working on F10 and F11, and a smart version for managing F11 and later chroots on F10 or earlier would be great. And second I'd like to know how to setup a build environment for F11 for getting some ATrpms packages out. Thanks! -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

Hello, My intro
by Chris Johnson 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hi all, I've been lurking on the mailing list for a while and I finally registered for my fedora account today (username: chrisj) I'm interested in helping out as time permits. I got on irc once (lurking again) and haven't really logged in since. I'll try to make a few meetings after the holidays I'm planning to get my personal test systems setup soon. I just moved and still getting things straight at home. Bought a 750GB drive last night and will be installing F10 over the weekend. I had been running the U... distro and it's time to get back to the fedora/RH rpm way of doing things :-) I've used RedHat since before Fedora existed (I think 6 was the first one). Started as a hobbyist, 2 years. Then got a job as an admin and have been doing Linux admin and Cisco networks for the last 5 years. My current employer is a Win shop so I just get to run the DNS, email, and network, but the network is 50 remote offices and 3 different data centers in the midwest. I don't mind the Windows too much and can find my way around them, it's also kinda fun to get the Linux and MS products to play nice together. I've worked with a lot of different linux and OSS software products including: postfix, openldap, apache, bind, samba, mailman, pam, built some custom rpm's, etc. I use RHEL mostly at work and some fedora and Cent for testing (some suse, deb, and slackware in the past). I used to do lots of security firewall apliances with various linux distros (I was a big fan of LRP when it would fit on a floppy), most of this is now done with Cisco in my world. I can shell script pretty well and I've written several perl scripts in the last few years (dabbled in php but not enough to know it well). I've always been interested in python but don't have much if any exp with it. I also don't have much experience with SQL/DB or source control. I was looking at the FIGs and would be interested in the base sysadmin and sysadmin-noc for now while I figure out where everything is and what it does. I'm also interested in more info on the sysadmin-tools and sysadmin-web FIG. So, next just apply for the FIGs, keep lurking, ask some questions, show up for IRC meetings? Thanks all, -- Chris Johnson ++++++++++ j.chris.johnson(a)gmail.com ++++++++++++++++++++

memcached opinions
by Mike McGrath 10 Sep '09

I'm not sure if we have any memcached experience on the list but I thought I'd ask. Can anyone explain this: http://pastebin.ca/1481219 Notice how memcached1 has a much higher hit rate and memcached2 has a much lower hit rate? -Mike

Hello everyone, My name is Chris. I am looking to contribute my skills and time to the Fedora Infrastructure group. I started using Linux back in 1996 while in college. In 2005, I became a system administrator at a small company helping them build, deploy, and support Linux based laptops for use in capturing clinical data. Other tasks included projects to help the company scale our operations. I have a Bachelor's in Computer Science, and I am currently pursuing a Master's in Information Systems, with a couple of semesters to go. I also became a Red Hat Certified Technician back in 2004. My skills include: Bash scripting MySQL C++ HTML CSS Some Python Some PostgreSQL Started learning some Django. I want to be involved in the Fedora community by helping out where I can, and also learn some more new skills along the way. Thanks! Regards, Chris DelPino

FYI. -----Original Message----- From: Boris Zentner [mailto:bzentner@maxmind.com] Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2009 9:36 PM To: Matt Domsch Subject: Re: python-geoip IPv6 functions? Hi Matt, yes, sure. I commit a first set of IPv6 glue for python right now. Please see the new file test_v6.py and/or take a look into the Changelog. But you need the CVS version of the CAPI.

IPv6 for Fedora services?
by Jeff Garzik 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Is there any IPv6 plan for *.fedoraproject.org ? One plan chosen by projects (including wikimedia) is a staged rollout, like this: 1) enable IPv6 reachability and AAAA records for DNS servers 2) enable IPv6 for small-audience or developer-only services, such as cvs/svn/git services 3) enable IPv6 for primary services, such as public web Such staged rollouts attempt to balance the potential for service disruption due to end-user misconfiguration, with pushing technological progress foward. As of today, for months, the DNS root servers are reachable via IPv6 and have AAAA records. Any chance we could look at step #1 or #2 for Fedora? I am hoping that Fedora can be a leader rather than a follower in deploying this new technology. Jeff

RE: F8/F9 torrent links
by Matt Domsch 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

When I last did cleanup, it was before F9 went EOL, so it stayed. F9 has ~20 downloaders right now. I didn't nuke F8 just because there were still a few seeders and downloaders. I see there are 12 downloaders at present for it. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-infrastructure-list/2009-May/msg0016… describes the policy we have in place. By rights, if we move F9 to archive.fp.o, then we can nuke both F8 and F9 from torrent1. -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux -----Original Message----- From: sijis.aviles(a)gmail.com on behalf of Sijis Aviles Sent: Wed 8/26/2009 11:08 PM To: torrentadmin-members(a)fedoraproject.org Subject: F8/F9 torrent links Hey all, I was browsing the torrent.fedoraproject.org website and i noticed that there are torrent links still listed for F8 and F9. I was looking for a way to remove them via the fedora-web git repo but nb and G noticed the Torrent_SOP. I figured i'd email the torrent group and see if these should be removed since they are EOL. Let me know if in the future i should direct this to somewhere/someone else. Thanks, Sijis
