Greetings,
I am in search of sponsorship for hosting space to deploy a test
instance of nitrate [1]. Some of you may recall several years back when
we deployed an instance of Testopia. That exploration was cut short
when we discovered license incompatibilities between testopia and
Fedora. At that time, a small group of Red Hat associates began
creating a new Django-based test management system to remove the
components that had conflicting licenses. That new system became
nitrate [1].
The Fedora QA team would like to experiment/explore this newer
Django-based test management system. At the very least, I believe we'll
need a publicly accessible server where we can host the nitrate instance
and a mysql database for it.
I filed ticket#2673
(
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2673) to track
this request. Please don't hesitate with any
questions/comments/concerns.
Hurry (rhe), Danqing (dli) and myself will be able to assist with the
draft RFR guidelines proposal at noted in ticket #2674. This
includes ...
1. Applying rpm updates to the service (and to any underlying
pieces of the application stack) if necessary.
2. Applying hotfixes via the puppet hotfix module if there's a
securiry fix or bugfix that needs to go in and it's not worth
spinning a new rpm.
3. Keeping up with upstream development
4. Answering questions about whether a yum update (to your app or
to the underlying stack) might break your app.
5. Fixing things should an app start throwing errors in production
for unknown reasons
6. Work on deployment problems
Don't hesitate if there are any other concerns or questions on this
pilot and RFR request.
Thanks,
James
