rawhide, /mnt/koji and /pub/fedora
by Jesse Keating
So I realized something last night. We created a user "masher" to have
the ability to write to /mnt/koji/mash/ but not any of the other koji
space. This is useful to prevent too much damage from a horribly wrong
rawhide compose. To make things easier in the rawhide compose configs,
we decided to run the cron/scripts as the masher user. This is also
good because it means things run unprivileged. However I ran into a
snag. We have another user, 'ftpsync' that has write access
to /pub/fedora/. Previously the rawhide script was ran as root, and
thus it was no problem to su ftpsync for the rsync calls. The masher
user does not possess the capability of doing this.
Since the ftpsync user is only really used to sync data onto the Fedora
netapp, I propose that we collapse ftpsync and masher into one user
(masher). It'll require minimal puppet changes, mostly just moving some
cron jobs from ftpsync over to masher. It will require UID changes,
either changing masher to the ftpsync UID (which breaks our new range we
just setup), or chmodding some stuff on the Fedora netapp and changing
what UID has write access there.
For now, I'm syncing rawhide by hand.
Comments?

publictest15
by Mike McGrath
Publictest15 is up and ready. If you were using publictest10, start
getting your stuff set back up on publictest15. If you need things
restored create a ticket and let us know what and why. Remember, the pt
servers don't get backed up, you should never be storing info there where
it is the only place that info exists.

Okay, looks like a known issue with the xen kernels. New test kernels
are available, see the bug for more info. We should get a fixed version
onto the Fedora xen builders very soon, and maybe disable them until
they can be fixed?

Puppet help - group membership on specific host
by Jesse Keating
I need a puppet trick. We have a shared user, masher, that has write
access to the mash/ directory on the koji store (but not the packages!).
This user currently exists on nfs1 and releng2. On releng2 the user is
used to run the rawhide creation cron, which involves running mock. To
run mock, the user must be in the 'mock' group. However this group
(which comes from the mock package) doesn't exist on nfs1 and we'd like
to keep it that way.
So, I need a way in puppet to express that the 'masher' user on releng2
needs to be in the mock group, but only on releng2.
Any thoughts/examples? This is probably one of those "puppet tricks" we
should have in a wiki somewhere.
