REVIEW/RFC: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kevin/Updates_Policy_Draft
by Kevin Fenzi 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Greetings. I'd like to ask for feedback and helping cleaning up an updates policy draft page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kevin/Updates_Policy_Draft How can we clarify the language or the layout of the page to be more clear? Are there places that it could be more like the existing package update howto page? Could we be more detailed about what bodhi enforces and whats just good practice? Are there other exceptions cases that could be covered that you can think of? NOTE that this is a draft. I'd like constructive feedback. If we can get something that looks ok by next week, FESCo would like to approve this and put it in place. Please do try and keep technical and constructive in replies, pretty please? With a cherry on top? kevin

Review request: Nice-to-have bug process documentation proposal
by Adam Williamson 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

Hi, everyone. So we partly used the proposed new nice-to-have bug tracking system during the F14 Beta process, and it seemed to go well. In a quick burst of airport productivity, I've quickly written up a bunch of proposed new wiki pages and modifications to existing ones to document the nice-to-have process (and, incidentally, extend documentation of the blocker process, since we don't seem to have much of it beyond the blocker meeting SOP right now). All the pages can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:NTH_adjustment_drafts it should be pretty obvious which are new and which are modifications of existing pages. I hope this is mostly straightforward and non-controversial. A quick five-minute summary is that we will now have (in fact, we already do) trackers for nice-to-have bugs for Alpha, Beta and Final releases as well as trackers for blocker bugs. Bugs on these NTH lists will be given priority after blocker bugs for QA, devel and releng work for releases. Fixes for these bugs - and *only* these bugs, if a fix is to be taken through a freeze, there must be a matching accepted NTH bug - will be taken through release freezes. Proposing, reviewing and monitoring NTH bugs will work exactly as it does for blocker bugs, and mostly happen in the blocker meetings, but of course after consideration of the blocker lists. In practice this is a formalization of existing procedure - until F14 Beta, QA and releng did much the same process but entirely informally, we just kept lists of bugs we'd take fixes for either in our heads or in the RC creation trac tickets. This process is meant to be more robust, documented and discoverable. Some releng SOP pages may require minor updates, I figured I'd leave that to releng. The process for creating blocker trackers should also be updated to cover creating NTH trackers (I couldn't find that; poelcat, where is it?) Comments, questions, suggestions welcome! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Lookaside failure. Check your cert.
by Chitlesh GOORAH 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hello there, I'm having the following error with some of my packages (iverilog and perl-Verilog-Perl) since last week, even after updating my certs. $ fedpkg import /home/chitlesh/rpmbuild/SRPMS/iverilog-0.9.20100928-1.el6.src.rpm Uploading: d004408ea595b13780c4c036f8188b66 verilog-0.9.3.tar.gz Could not import srpm: Lookaside failure. Check your cert. However, I managed to build verilator on koji somehow. Can you please tell me what it may cause this ? Chitlesh

bodhi v0.7.9 deployed
by Luke Macken 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

A new version of bodhi has just hit production. This release contains a number of bugfixes and enhancements. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates Web UI Changes ============== - Improved editing functionality - Only unpush edited updates when builds are altered - Make a note in the comments of which builds were added/removed - Allow people to revert their karma vote more than once - Add mouseover tooltips to the update status with more details - Prevent different versions of a package from being added to the same update - Handle more types of bugzilla auto-linking in comments (ex: rhbz#1234) - Link to the newer update in the obsoleted ones - Link to gitweb instead of viewvc - Set default (un)stable karma values if re-enabled - Anonymous karma has never effected karma, so we now mark them as being ignored in the interface to make it obvious - Get the 'suggest reboot' flag working again - Allow non-critpath updates to be pushed to stable after meeting our critpath requirements - Allow maintainers to request that their update be pushed to stable before the automatic approval job runs, if it already meets the time-in-testing requirements. Client Changes ============== - Add --stablekarma, --unstablekarma, and --disable-autokarma client arguments - Fix a bug in using `bodhi --push-build=` on multi-build updates - Add a --bodhi-url command-line option - Instead of requiring only one argument with a comma separated list of updates, support several builds as several arguments. API Changes =========== - Remove our API pagination query limit of 1000 - Add a new 'author_group' field to each comment in our JSON API Backend Changes =============== - Add the new 'dist-fN-updates{-testing,}-pending' tags to builds so AutoQA can start testing them before they get pushed - List security & critpath testing updates in our updates-testing digest emails - Download and inject the pkgtags sqlite db into our repodata from the pkgdb (which will be utilized by `yum search`) - Email the proventesters about stale unapproved critical path updates - Update the bug titles for all security updates before pushing (since security bug titles frequently change after the update is submitted to reflect the CVE id) - Improved sanity checking in the masher when resuming pushes - Properly capture & log stderr from our mash subprocess - Improved metrics report generator (soon to be integrated into the web interface) Bugs & RFEs =========== Please file and bug reports or enhancement requests here: https://fedorahosted.org/bodhi/newticket _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce

Getting more info about updates on headless server
by Richard Fearn 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hi, I have yum-updatesd installed on a headless Fedora server, so every so often I get the email saying there are updates available. The email itself doesn't tell me much about the updates (e.g. for iproute tonight it said it was a "bugfix"). Running yum update on the server doesn't tell me much either. In the past I modified yum-updatesd-helper to look in the package-announce list archives (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/) to find each update, and to build a bodhi search URL, using the package name/version. Then there were at least 1 or 2 links in the yum-updatesd email that I could click on to get some more information. Is there a more standard way of getting this info? (Not the links, but the information about the updates.) If not, I'll get my modified yum-updatesd-helper working on F13 (I upgraded from F11 the other day). Regards, Rich

systemd and network service
by Patrick Monnerat 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Until now (with upstart), my rawhide system started the network service but not the NetworkManager service. With systemd, neither of these are started by default. I've read some previous discussions about creating missing links, defaults, etc. There is a listed solution based on NetworkManager, but it is not applicable on the network service, because the file "/lib/systemd/system/network.service" does not exist and thus cannot be linked to from a *.wants directory. Does anybody has resolved this problem ? Thanks for any hints. Patrick

Re: xulrunner 2.0 in rawhide (F15) bundles several system libs
by Takanori MATSUURA 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi Chen, For modules/libimg/png, mozilla products use aPNG which was rejected by upstream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG So we have to use internal png. For media/libvorbis, mozilla has custom patches in the source tree. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517422 Fro media/libvpx, I don't know well. However you are welcome to file the issue to bugzilla.mozilla.org. Takanori
