Interesting mirror rediness results for alpha
by Mike McGrath
So, I've been monitoring the mirrors all day, its been sort of a manual
process (thus the sporadic times there). I'm going to re-run this for the
beta and continue to run it for the alpha but the results are not at all
what I expected:
http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/alphaMirrorRediness.html
So the 10:00 AM portion is when we announced the alpha. People coming to
the mirrors would have had a less then 10% hit rate. It went up from
there mostly and wasn't until hours later that we saw a big spike upwards
(after a mirror crawl completed).
What I don't understand is why we've actually started losing mirrors. We
were almost at 90% hit rate for a bit today, and now we're back down to
just above 60. Any theories? I'm going to keep monitoring. Feel free to
monitor yourself. I've basically been going to:
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/11-Alpha...
And seeing if it comes up with a found or not found/perm denied. I'm
going to think on my methods a bit. Currently I'm just running wget's in
a loop for 5+ minutes at a time and taking the total number of 200's /
total requests * 100.

Change request: make ping and traceroute tools work from Zabbix dashboard
by Jeffrey Ollie
The ping and traceroute tools in the Zabbix dashboard do not work
because the web front end does not know how to connect to the Zabbix
server to initiate the commands. The following patch adds that
configuration as well as tweaks a selinux boolean. The Zabbix web
front end runs on the app servers so this is affected by the change
freeze. The impact should be minor, reverting should be relatively
easy in case of problems.

Change Request
by Mike McGrath
If this get's +1'd tonight I'll do it tonight, if not I'll wait till
tomorrow.
Karsten had a request for the docs site to be updated more often. We'd
initially lowered it because of a request of one of our sponsors. It was
running hourly, during that time it did a 400M transfer so it produced
noticeable load spikes.
I've altered the script to keep a cache. Please comment (attached)
+1's?

Announcing Fedora 11 Alpha (blink) (fwd)
by Mike McGrath
Bored at work? Tired fo the freeze?
Test the alpha! Its not a privilege, its a responsiblity :)
-Mike
To blink or not to blink: that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous users,
Or to take arms against a see of power drains.
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more: and by a sleep to say we suspend.
Ok enough of that. The Fedora project is proud to present the
availability of Fedora 11 (Leonidas) Alpha. Now is the time to test,
now is the time to improve.
The Alpha release provides the first opportunity for the wider community
to become involved with testing Fedora 11 by way of Rawhide:
Alpha represents a sanitized snapshot of rawhide, Fedora's development
branch, which undergoes rapid changes before becoming the next major
release.
* The Alpha should boot on the majority of systems, and provides:
* A look at what new features are to be included in the
next release
* A way to provide feedback and bug reports to help ensure
that the next release is as good as possible
For information about what new and wonderful things Alpha brings us,
please check out the release notes:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Alpha_release_notes
What to test
Test status is being tracked here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_Alpha_Install_Test_Results
Check out this page before reporting problems, including looking through
the bug trackers as linked on that page.
Get the Alpha

(Please bear in mind that our mirrors are still picking up the
permission change and you may get a few permission denied messages while
this happens this morning)

Alpha Release - Website Pushing
by Ricky Zhou
Hey, I just finished updating the website for the Alpha release
tomorrow. I won't be around for this one, so somebody will have to push
the website. I've put some instructions in a comment in
configs/system/syncStatic.sh in puppet, but here they are again:
The website is currently frozen to a single commit in syncStatic.sh. To
take this off during the Alpha release, remove the "git checkout" line
in configs/system/syncStatic.sh and push it to puppet1.
Then
sudo /etc/cron.hourly/syncStatic.sh
on puppet1 to generate the new website.
Finally, run
sudo func proxy\* call command run \
"/usr/local/bin/syncFiles.sh fedoraproject.org \
/srv/web/fedoraproject.org/"
to make the proxies pull the new website. After this, it may be a good
idea to clear the proxy caches by removing the contents of
/srv/cache/mod_cache on proxy[1-5].
If any last-minute changes are required after this, commit/push it the the
fedora-web repo, then re-run syncStatic.sh and the func command.
Sorry I won't be around, and good luck tomorrow!

Local community domains
by Paul W. Frields
Hello Infrastructure team,
We occasionally have local communities that want to set up supporting
sites for spreading Fedora in their region. They might offer
localized forums or other assistance that helps them spread Fedora in
their respective locales. Red Hat indicated they would be willing to
purchase a domain for Fedora that we could maintain on behalf of these
local communities.
They purchased "fedoracommunity.org" on behalf of the local
communities, so if we're approached by someone looking for a domain,
we can assign a subdomain like "xx.fedoracommunity.org". Mike McGrath
worked with us to establish an acceptable way to do this, but we
probably should have a procedure that makes the process acceptable for
the Infrastructure team.
I've started drafting a wiki page here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Local_community_domains
I'd appreciate it if interested parties would review and then edit the
page, or put input on its Talk page. I want to end up with a clear
process for a community member to follow to request and receive a
community domain.

Change Request ssh_known_hosts
by Mike McGrath
The staging environment was rebuilt recently but not updated in
ssh_known_hosts. This patch updates those keys (its a bit rough to read
so its attached)
Can I get 2+1's? This is a global change.

squid issues
by Jesse Keating
I noticed something while composing this release. Packages gotten from
kojipkgs (and thus the proxy) all have a timestamp of when the file was
downloaded, vs the timestamp of the file on the fileserver. This has
caused me some... frustration in getting my composes synced on the
master mirror using hardlinks to rawhide.
Can somebody help me debug why this is? I'm not familiar with our squid
setup, and I couldn't find it in a quick wiki search for 'squid'.
