blogs.fedoraproject.org and planet
by Luca Foppiano 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hi all, I'm interested to know the status of the blogs instances in the fedoraproject domains. I would like to use the blog and the planet as news/story board for the local fedora communities website . * About the blog, Is something work in progress? I saw a nice infrastructure but with some work more to do: - are you aware that the css has some class broken? like the images are not correctly shown? - do you think is possible to customize also the left bar? * about the planet, are there any plans to create a multi-instance, planet, maybe by country or by language? let me know luca

change request: make sure all the repos for el5 on infrastructure.fp.o have sqlite dbs made
by Seth Vidal 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

We have a number of el5-ish repos on infrastructure.fp.o. I've been using one of them over and over and over again this week building and testing something in mock and I noticed that we don't seem to have the sqlite dbs built for these repos. So my change request is to rebuild those repos with the database creation enabled. If we encounter any oddnesses or new bugs I can revert the change trivially. Can I get a couple of +1's to this? -sv

Change Request: fedoracommunity upgrade
by Luke Macken 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

The recent pkgdb update broke fedoracommunity. I have since applied a a couple of simple, low-risk fixes to get things working again. I wish to push the version in staging out into production. https://admin.stg.fedoraproject.org/community/ This code also contains a fix for the bug that caused fedoracommunity to flip out when it couldn't access fedorapeople.org, as well as a new 'Statistics' section. Can I get some +1's? Thanks, luke

Change Request: theme priorities in pkgdb
by Toshio Kuratomi 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Christopher Aillon brought up a problem in the current icon code for PackageDB. It seems that mozilla is sensitive to the icon that is associated with the firefox web browser. So we shouldn't be showing icons other than the default or hicolor icon set for firefox or risk trademark repurcussions. I've removed the other icons from the pkgdb for now but newer packages with icons for firefox that get imported into the database could potentially occur at any time. Martin Bacovsky has a small patch for pkgdb that prioritises the themes that are used when choosing an icon. That should be enough to always choose a proper icon for displaying alongside firefox. Could I get two +1s for applying this to the app servers? === modified file 'pkgdb/applications.py' --- pkgdb/applications.py 2010-03-15 16:26:59 +0000 +++ pkgdb/applications.py 2010-03-25 12:30:12 +0000 @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ from pkgdb.model import Comment, Application, Icon, IconName, PackageBuild from pkgdb.model import Tag, Usage, ApplicationUsage, ApplicationTag -from pkgdb.model import MimeType +from pkgdb.model import MimeType, Theme from pkgdb.lib.utils import mod_grp from pkgdb import release, _ from pkgdb.lib.text_utils import excerpt @@ -531,15 +531,18 @@ def show(self, *app_name): app_name = '/'.join(app_name) - # TODO: themes - icon_data = session.query(Icon.icon)\ - .join(Icon.name, IconName.applications)\ + icon_data = session.query(Theme.name, Icon.icon)\ + .join(Icon.name, IconName.applications, Icon.theme)\ .filter(Application.name==app_name)\ - .first() + .all() + if not icon_data: redirect('/static/images/noicon.png') - return str(icon_data[0]) + icons = dict(icon_data) + + # icon theme priority: default > hicolor > whatever + return str(icons.get('default', None) or icons.get('hicolor', None) or icons[icons.keys()[0]]) -Toshio
