BFO install FC17
by Kenneth Brun Nielsen
Dear infrastructure mailing list,
I'm stuck in a BFO install of Fedora 17 and described the problem
briefly here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1582671#post1582671
As I have read elsewhere, the infrastructure guys are the experts,
when it comes to BFO install, and in lack of relevant answers in my
thread on Fedoraforum, I take the chance to write to you guys - let me
know if this is not the ideal list to post. Sure, the easy solution is
to stick to a regular installation, but I really like the idea of BFO,
so I hope you can help me (and obviously, others) to succeed, if
possible.
I will update the thread at Fedoraforum within 12 hours with a decent
dmesg output and other relevant things (let me know, if anything is
particularly useful). The reason I haven't done it yet, is due to
inability to mount an external drive under the debug shell in order to
copy the contents of the message/log files. I hope to solve this issue
myself soon.
In the meantime, my question is: has anyone successfully installed
Fedora 17 using BFO install?
Best regards,
Kenneth

Fedora Account Change
by Leonardo Rodrigues de Mello
Hi,
I do not know if this is the correct place to place this question, please
feel free to redirect me to the right place.
I have one account at fedora project 'lmello' this account is assigned with
my old employer email (lmello AT redhat.com), since i no longer work at
redhat i am unable to change my password and associate my account with my
new email address.
Could some one change my lmello account email address from lmello AT
redhat.com to l at lmello.eu.org ? I had created a new account associated
with my new email address called lmello2, feel free to remove it if
necessary.
Best.

qa machine management
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings.
Just had a talk with tflink on IRC about the management of the qa
network machines. Long ago when we setup those machines we were
thinking we could use them as a testbed for bcfg2 to see if we wanted
to start using it or if it worked ok, etc. I setup a bcfg2 server to
try this with, but sadly have never found the time to even start
configuring it.
Machines involved:
virthost-comm01.qa (real hardware)
autoqa01.qa (guest)
autoqa-stg01.qa (guest)
lockbox-comm01.qa (guest)
bastion-comm01.qa (guest)
(someday we may add a sign-bridge-comm01 and sign-vault-comm01 to allow
secondary archs like ppc and arm to sign packages).
Options:
- Try and push forward with a bcfg2 setup on lockbox-comm01.qa and
evaluate it. This would be nice, but I'm really not sure anyone has
the time to do it.
- Just add all the above machines to our puppet repo and configure them
there and call it done. This would mean they wouldn't be seperate
from us and we just update and configure and monitor them like any
other machine.
- Try and work out some setup with ansible or the like to see if it
could manage them. Again, this would be a learning and tweaking
curve, so not sure we have the time.
- We could setup a new puppet for them on lockbox-comm01.qa and use
that to manage them. We could reuse a lot of our current puppet
setup, but it would still be a fair bit of work to get it all
configured.
Thoughts? Brilliant ideas?

Adding the infra mailing list for them to look at it closly…

gitweb[-caching] vs cgit
by Seth Vidal
We're currently using gitweb[-caching] on fedorahosted and on
fedorapeople.
A discussion today suggested maybe we should move to cgit in its lieu.
First things first:
1. cgit means we break old links to gitweb urls
2. cgit is a different pkg - maintained by other folks
3. gitweb-caching appears to be abandoned (gitweb is maintained but it
doesn't do caching) - kernel.org is using gitweb-caching
so - question - is cgit different and better enough to warrant the hurt
of moving?
is cgit more reliably maintained?
is it faster? (hell, not sure it is possible for it to be slower)
Are we overlooking other options?

cron jobs and puppet
by Seth Vidal
From now on -PLEASE- no one use the cron {} keyword in puppet.
If you need to put a cron job in place via puppet you do it either
using /etc/cron.[hourly|daily] or you put a .cron file in /etc/cron.d
and reference it that way.
I am so tired of having to chase through /var/spool/cron for system
cron jobs and I'm really tired of ensure=absent for cron jobs not
working.
so no more.
it's gone.
poof.
I'll work on rooting out the rest of them as I get to them.
