Automating hosted projects?
by Paul W. Frields 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Hi Infrastructure team, Not sure if this inquiry belongs here or on websites, but I'll start here. Personally my experience has been that the Fedora admins act on requests for Fedora Hosted projects requests very quickly. Some potential contributors may want or need more instantaneous results, and I would hate to see folks going to somewhere like Google Code if we can keep their projects more open and transparent (and portable) to the community. Does the team have any sense as to whether we could further automate the Fedora Hosted project creation process? -- Paul W.

What is doing this?
by Mike McGrath 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

We've got a cron job that creates the fedorahosted webpage. It produces (on occasion) this output: ========== START ============== ...... done. ...... done. ========== END OUTPUT ========= I've been poking at it for a bit and I just don't know what is causing that, so to the list I came. Anyone have any bright ideas? I've attached the script. My first inclination is that it's the make. But what in it is causing this to happen sometimes but not every time? -Mike

DRBD
by Mike McGrath 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

I have a small research project if someone is interested in taking it up. I want to know of Debian, Ubuntu, SuSE and the other major distributions, How many of them include DRBD by default or via some official channel. Also, of people on this list, how many of you use DRBD, in what capacity and what do you think of it? -Mike

Change Request: python-bugzilla and packagedb on app servers
by Toshio Kuratomi 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

The update of the packagedb yesterday has a problem. The bugzilla checking code doesn't work when started as the apache user because python-bugzilla issues a traceback when it's unable to write to a cookiefile in the user's home directory. This is preventing anyone from taking ownership of a package including new branch requests. I've got an updated python-bugzilla and packagedb that address this. I'd like to install them on the app servers. Can I get some +1's to do this tomorrow? -Toshio

Alpha Release Readiness
by John Poelstra 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

With the Alpha Release for Fedora 11 scheduled for Tuesday, February 3, 2009, this means it is time to meet again with representatives from each of the teams to have our release readiness meeting. We usually have this meeting at 18:00 UTC (13:00 EST) the Wednesday before, which means next Wednesday, January 28, 2009, is the day. On Monday, January 26, 2009, I will be sending out the dial-in information and a meeting reminder to all the attendees. In the meantime I need to know who will be representing your group at these meetings for the Fedora 11 meetings. Usually this is the designated team leader, but I wanted to ask to make sure you coordinate within your team to make sure someone comes. When responding to this list, please CC me so that I am sure to see the reply. This message is going out to the respective mailings lists for these groups: Ambassadors Artwork/Design Documentation FESCo Infrastructure Marketing Quality Release Engineering Translation Websites Thanks, John

Change freeze
by Mike McGrath 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

We are FROZEN! Sorry for the short notice, the alpha always sneaks up on us. But we are now FROZEN! Whats this mean? Well, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/SOP/Release#Change_Freeze BAM! It means that. This is a pre-freeze so many things aren't frozen (see that link to find what does and does not apply to you). We will unfreeze 2009-02-04. If you've got something to do, make sure it gets +1'ed. Also, we'll be doing a fairly major upgrade after the Alpha ships of moving from RHEL 5.2 to RHEL5.3 I haven't done any work on this yet but will over the coming months to see if we will run in to any issues. -Mike

Disk IO issues
by Mike McGrath 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Lets pool some knowledge together because at this point, I'm missing something. I've been doing all measurements with sar as bonnie, etc, causes builds to timeout. Problem: We're seeing slower then normal disk IO. At least I think we are. This is a PERC5/E and MD1000 array. When I try to do a normal copy "cp -adv /mnt/koji/packages /tmp/" I get around 4-6MBytes/s When I do a cp of a large file "cp /mnt/koji/out /tmp/" I get 30-40MBytes/s. Then I "dd if=/dev/sde of=/dev/null" I get around 60-70 MBytes/s read. If I "cat /dev/sde > /dev/null" I get between 225-300MBytes/s read. The above tests are pretty consistent. /dev/sde is a raid5 array, hardware raid. So my question here is, wtf? I've been working to do a backup which I would think would either cause network utilization to max out, or disk io to max out. I'm not seeing either. Sar says the disks are 100% utilized but I can cause major increases in actual disk reads and writes by just running additional commands. Also, if the disks were 100% utilized I'd expect we would see lots more iowait. We're not though, iowait on the box is only %0.06 today. So, long story short, we're seeing much better performance when just reading or writing lots of data (though dd is many times slower then cat). But with our real-world traffic, we're just seeing crappy crappy IO. Thoughts, theories or opinions? Some of the sysadmin noc guys have access to run diagnostic commands, if you want more info about a setting, let me know. I should also mention there's lots going on with this box, for example its hardware raid, lvm and I've got xen running on it (though the tests above were not in a xen guest). -Mike

FYI: New packagedb depends on python-bugzilla snapshot
by Toshio Kuratomi 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Just a heads up. I've updated the app servers with a new version of the packagedb today. This reflects the most recent code from the bzr repository. It requires a snapshot package of python-bugzilla in order to do checking of bugzilla email accounts. I've added both python-bugzilla-0.4-0.2.20080121git packages and packagedb packages to the infrastructure repo for epel-5[1]_ and fedora-10[2]_. If you need it for a different release, the SRPMs are present so you should be able to do a rebuild. .. _[1]: http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/el/5/ .. _[2]: http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/fedora/10/ -Toshio
