May 2014 - devel-announce - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Pierre-Yves Chibon

Dear all, Here is some information regarding the consequences of deploying pkgdb2: * The first and most annoying one is that PkgDB2 having a new API, it needs a new packagedb-cli [1] which is necessary to have `fedpkg retire` working. There is already a bug opened for it [2] but the solution is simply to update your local packagedb-cli F20: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-6393/packagedb-cli-2.... F19: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-6375/packagedb-cli-2.... EL6: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2014-1418/packagedb-c... Note: packagedb-cli now provides a python interface for the pkgdb API ``import pkgdb2client` * The second item is simply based on the observation that so far we have had bug reports for pkgdb on the fedora-infrastructure trac, the bodhi trac as well as the pkgdb2 project on fedorahosted and github. If you could concentrate your bug reports to either of the two last ones it would help getting our attention :) * Finally, the form used in bugzilla to do SCM requests has been updated and now asks for the `Upstream URL` to be specified next to the `Package Name` and `Short Description`. So the template for SCM request is now: New Package SCM Request ======================= Package Name: Short Description: Upstream URL: Owners: Branches: InitialCC: See [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_SCM_admin_requests for more information and examples Thanks for your help! The Fedora Infrastructure development team [1] https://fedorahosted.org/packagedb-cli/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1098462

PkgDB2 is now in production

by Pierre-Yves Chibon

After more than 15 months in development, today we deployed pkgdb2 into production at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/ pkgdb is the application that manages package metadata for Fedora, including commit access for packagers, bugzilla assignment, and scm changes notifications. A few of the more notable changes in this new version of pkgdb: * Redesigned interface: faster and cleaner * Packages no longer have 'owners', instead there is now a 'point of contact' who is assigned bugs in bugzilla. * Now uses Fedora OpenID for authentication * Provide a clearly defined and documented API (but completely different from the pkgdb1 one) * Re-written in the flask framework There might still be minor bugs or un-expected features, if you face some of them please let us know. For more information, see: Project page: https://fedorahosted.org/pkgdb2/ Documentation: http://pkgdb2.rtfd.org Git repository: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/pkgdb2 Github mirror: https://github.com/fedora-infra/pkgdb2 Mailing list: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/packagedb Many thanks to the hard work of the Fedora Infrastructure development team

F21 Self Contained Change: Serf 0.4.5

by Jaroslav Reznik

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Serf 0.4.5 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Serf_0.4.5 Change owner(s): Jeff Schroeder <jeffschroeder(a)computer.org> Serf [1] is a decentralized solution for service discovery and orchestration that is lightweight, highly available, and fault tolerant. This change is to package serf for Fedora users. == Detailed Description == This is the first set of dependencies for serf. After these are merged, the second set of dependencies can be independently reviewed and merged. Finally, once all of the dependencies are available in fedora, serf can be packaged. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Serf_0.4.5#Detailed_Description == Scope == * Proposal owners: Package dependencies and serf itself. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) [1] http://www.serfdom.io/

F21 System Wide Change: Web Assets

by Jaroslav Reznik

= Proposed System Wide Change: Web Assets = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Web_Assets Change owner(s): T.C. Hollingsworth <tchollingsworth(a)gmail.com> This is multi-release change, already approved for Fedora 20. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2013-July/001197... Traditionally, Fedora has been pushing bits from its various servers to people's browsers in an ad-hoc fashion, and issues surrounding JavaScript have been swept under the rug. This change proposal provides a simple framework for shipping static web content and a way forward to treat JavaScript more closely to other code in the distribution. == Detailed Description == A standard directory (/usr/share/web-assets) for static bits that are intended to be delivered to web browsers, such as CSS Frameworks, UI libraries, etc. will be introduced. HTTP daemons in the distribution should make this directory available publicly as /.sysassets. Additionally, a standard directory (/usr/share/javascript) for JavaScript code, which may be used in browsers or server-side by applications such as nodejs or rubygem-execjs will also be introduced. Finally, new packaging guidelines [1] will provide instructions for making proper use of these new directories. == Scope == See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Web_Assets#Scope [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Patches/PackagingDrafts/Web_Assets

F21 Self Contained Change: SSSD GPO-Based Access Control

by Jaroslav Reznik

= Proposed Self Contained Change: SSSD GPO-Based Access Control = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SssdGpoBasedAccessControl Change owner(s): Yassir Elley <yelley(a)redhat.com> This change will enhance SSSD, by adding support for centrally managed host- based access control in an Active Directory (AD) environment, using Group Policy Objects (GPOs). == Detailed Description == GPO policy settings are commonly used to manage host-based access control in an AD environment. The two specific GPO policy settings ("Allow Log On Locally" and "Deny Log On Locally") essentially serve as a whitelist and blacklist of domain users/groups that are consulted to determine whether logon access to a particular domain computer should be granted. When dealing with GPOs, there is typically a management piece (used to specify the policy settings) and a client-side processing piece (used to retrieve and enforce the policy settings). Since the two policy settings of interest already exist in AD, administrators can continue to use existing mechanisms to specify the whitelist and blacklist (e.g. Group Policy Management Console, or GPMC). As such, this change is related only to the retrieval and enforcement of policy settings. This change only affects SSSD's AD provider. It has no effect on any other SSSD providers (e.g. IPA provider).The upstream design page that includes deeper technical details can be found in the SSSD Trac [1]. == Scope == Since this functionality would only be used by SSSD's AD provider, it would be included as part of the sssd-ad package. This feature would be enabled by default, but a build switch would be provided for those who do not wish to deploy this functionality. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) [1] http://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/DesignDocs/ActiveDirectoryGPOIntegration

F21 Self Contained Change: Web Application Authentication

by Jaroslav Reznik

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Web Application Authentication = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Web_App_Authentication Change owner(s): Jan Pazdziora <jpazdziora(a)redhat.com>, Jakub Hrozek On operating system level, there are numerous authentication and identity lookup mechanisms, some of them using sssd. With new Apache modules and new sssd, some of those mechanisms become more easily consumable by web applications. Various web application environments and frameworks can then consume results of the authentication and information retrieval using environment variables similar to REMOTE_USER. == Detailed Description == With mod_authnz_pam, PAM authentication and access checks are available to web applications, allowing wider combination of authentication and access controls. One specific target is host-based access control rules of FreeIPA for Kerberos SSO via pam_sss and sssd. The mod_intercept_form_submit module makes it possible to enable the PAM authentication of mod_authnz_pam on normal logon form handling paths, which can then be consumed by web application with fairly minimal changes. The mod_lookup_identity uses sssd-dbus to retrieve additional attributes like name, email address, or group membership, and populates environment variables for easy consumption of this information by web applications. The sssd-dbus implements new service ifp which provides access to additional user-related pieces of information. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Three new packages (Apache modules) and rebase of sssd. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

F21 Self Contained Change: Review Board 2.0

by Jaroslav Reznik

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Review Board 2.0 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReviewBoard2 Change owner(s): Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh(a)redhat.com> Review Board is a powerful tool for managing patch reviews. == Detailed Description == Review Board integrates with many types of repository (svn, git, mercurial, perforce and more) as well as popular hosting environments such as Fedora Hosted, Github and Bitbucket. It provides a powerful and clean interface to managing patches for review. Review Board 2.0 adds the ability to post committed changes from a branch directly from the web UI, adds review of text file attachments, greatly extends the capabilities of the public API and extension framework, and offers significant performance improvements, usability enhancements, and visual cleanups. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Review Board 2.0 RC3 is in Rawhide today and will be upgraded to 2.0 final when it is released (expected by the end of May, 2014) * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
