Standard Operating Procedures
by Mike McGrath
I've been working on getting some SOP's together for our environment. I
guess the natural lifecycle will be RFR -> SOP. There's still much to
get documented but I'm hoping we can keep much of these public so others
can look them over. I've only got two of them up there so far:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/SOP/database?action=fullsear...
One of which is the wiki, which as lmacken points out, won't be much
good if the wiki is totally dead :-) Anyway, if you're a member of the
team who regularly does something and you don't want to be the only one
to know how to do that thing. Put it up here!

Firstname.Lastname@fedoraproject.org is no more!
by Mike McGrath
As has been discussed in the past, firstname.lastname(a)fedoraproject.org
aliases are no more. username(a)fedoraproject.org is, of course, still
valid. The reasons behind this are purely technical. Specifically:
firstname.lastname currently produces many invalid email addresses.
firstname.lastname is prone to collisions.
Anyone seeking questions please let me know or stop by #fedora-admin on
irc.freenode.net

bastion now using puppet
by Mike McGrath
Bastion is now using puppet, probably its most common config change is
the aliases.template. To do this from lockbox:
cvs -d /cvs/puppet co configs
cd configs
vi system/smtp/aliases.template
cvs commit -m "Luke broke something so I'm redirecting all mail to him"
sudo make install
after the make install is complete bastion will pick up the changes and
automatically build the aliases file within a half hour. If this is not
fast enough just restart puppet on bastion to pick up the changes
immediately.

Set Reply-to Header for mailing list
by Wilmer Jaramillo M.
Hi, I have a suggestion, because don't is set the "Reply-to" header
for fedora-infrastructure-list(a)redhat.com on mailing list?. When I
answer a mail, only one _should_ receive the mail, but all of the
internal list possibly does not, should use the header to redirect
replies to messages into to mailing list.

cvsextras > packager Change List
by Warren Togami
Stuff Needing Changing for cvsextras > packager rename
======================================================
1) PostgreSQL project_group.name row.
2) FASv1 website.py.
3) FASv2?
4) PackageDB
5) Documentation? (Where?)
6) Filesystems? chown was mentioned, but isn't this unnecessary because
the name is changing, not the gid?
Can anybody else think of other places that need to be changed for
cvsextras to be renamed successfully?
Rename Procedure
================
1) Shutdown FAS, CVS, buildsys.
2) Make changes all at once.
3) Run export-shell-accounts.sh on app2.
4) Run process-shell-accounts.py on every other machine.
5) Start FAS, CVS and buildsys.
Anything missing?
