19:01:43 <dgilmore> hey
19:02:13 <nirik> ok, lets go ahead then...
19:02:17 <smooge> here
19:02:17 * tflink is lurking
19:02:20 <nirik> #topic New folks introductions and Apprentice tasks.
19:02:29 <oddshocks> yo
19:02:30 <nirik> any new folks like to say hi, or apprentices with questions?
19:02:39 <rhaen> Here.
19:03:04 <rhaen> Hello fedora team, I am a sysadmin/dev in real life
19:03:05 <kushal> just hi
19:03:10 <rhaen> and would like to join.
19:03:13 <threebean> rhaen: hi :)
19:03:17 <nirik> welcome rhaen
19:03:20 * oddshocks waves at rhaen
19:03:22 <pingou> welcome rhaen
19:03:23 * rhaen bows.
19:03:31 <nirik> are you more interested in sysadmin or development stuff? or both?
19:03:58 <rhaen> nirik: actually, I haven't wrapped my mind around it. I am
spending building packages for the company I am working for
19:04:05 <rhaen> and do lots and lots of puppet coding
19:04:17 <rhaen> So I think I could help with the puppet stuff.
19:04:22 <nirik> rhaen: ok. we do use puppet, but we are moving to ansible. ;)
19:04:38 <nirik> help with things is always welcome. ;)
19:04:43 <rhaen> oh, that's not an issue -
19:04:55 <rhaen> I am looking forward to :)
19:04:55 <nirik> see me after the meeting and I can add you to our apprentice group
to look around...
19:05:04 <rhaen> sure! Thanks, nirik
19:05:09 <nirik> also...
19:05:39 <nirik> #info nirik has slacked and not done his monthly apprentice group
purge yet... will do it later today. If you're an existing apprentice, please reply to
the status update email. :)
19:06:20 <nirik> #topic moment of silence
19:06:56 <nirik> as most of you know, we lost our friend and fedora family member
skvidal this week.
19:07:29 <nirik> please do keep him and his family and friends in your thoughts.
19:07:44 <nirik> and be patient with us as we all try and move forward.
19:08:33 <nirik> #topic Applications status / discussion
19:08:53 <nirik> any news in the application world...
19:09:18 <abadger1999> anyone who wants to review this pull request is invited to do
so: https://github.com/fedora-infra/python-fedora/pull/45
19:09:35 <abadger1999> it's a pretty invasive change to python-fedora's
client.
19:09:39 <abadger1999> more eyes are better.
19:10:10 * threebean nods
19:10:29 <threebean> #link https://apps.stg.fedoraproject.org/badges/
19:10:58 <threebean> badges are moving ahead. we've been struggling with css
recently. there's plenty of other work to be done, but there's progress.
19:11:19 <abadger1999> One of puiterwijk's comments:
https://github.com/fedora-infra/python-fedora/pull/45#discussion-diff-500... needs input
-- I think we should be doing something about that but I'm not sure we should be doing
it as part ofthis pull request/release or the next release.
19:11:53 <nirik> threebean / oddshocks are we on target to give badges in prod at
flock? or hard to say?
19:12:10 <threebean> nirik: on track, yes.
19:13:05 <nirik> abadger1999: so with this we could look at implementing 2fa in the
webapps? it would require more work on each of them? or is plugin?
19:13:40 <pingou> nirik: they will all require more work anyway at, least the input
field (unless they use openid)
19:13:46 <abadger1999> nirik: it is the first step for the client.
19:13:52 <nirik> ok.
19:14:01 <abadger1999> it makes it so the client has an api that can handle otps
19:14:05 <abadger1999> (in two different ways)
19:14:18 <abadger1999> the servers then need to be able to handle the otps.
19:14:37 <nirik> might be nice to add a planning doc to the wiki with the various
stages of what we are thinking... in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Infrastructure_Planning
19:15:09 <abadger1999> I think that really requires that we modify fas to handle
them... SmootherFrOgZ had some work to do that but he might have to modify it a bit since
the clientside api is different than what he originally wrote.
19:15:31 <abadger1999> once fas is modified, we can look at modifying fas_openid and
other webapps that use fas to authenticate.
19:15:42 <nirik> k
19:16:30 <nirik> one sidenote to mention..
19:17:22 <nirik> sources.debian.org popped up not long ago. its a flask app to
search/show sources for all their packages. It might be a neat thing to have for us, and
could mean just implemeting in packages?
19:17:40 <threebean> shows package contents?
19:17:50 * nirik gets an example
19:17:57 <pingou> threebean: packages has this but needs to be fixed
19:18:03 <nirik> http://sources.debian.net/src/calibre/0.7.7%2Bdfsg-1squeeze1
19:18:19 <pingou> https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/guake/contents
19:18:27 <nirik> they also have a search function via that
19:18:34 <nirik> not sure if it's flask or something else.
19:18:49 <nirik> http://codesearch.debian.net/about
19:18:52 <nirik> ha, it's in 'go'
19:18:59 <smooge> oooooooooh
19:19:24 <nirik> anyhow, not that we need more things, but this might be a nice side
project or good way to get involved if someone finds it interesting.
19:19:37 * threebean nods
19:19:48 <pingou> the front-end is flask indeed
19:20:20 <pingou> threebean: isn't/wasn't packages searching content as well
at some point?
19:21:09 <threebean> I don't think so
19:21:12 <nirik> #info see #fedora-apps if you are interested in working on
codesearch or showing code for pkgs
19:21:21 <threebean> it ought to though.. should just be a matter of adding it to
xapian during the indexing cronjob.
19:21:34 <pingou> +1
19:21:41 <pingou> I miss-remember then
19:22:18 <nirik> anyhow, any further apps news? or shall we move on?
19:22:45 <threebean> nah, none here.
19:22:57 <nirik> just to note:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/report/15 is the list of our hotfixes
currently. :) Do consider new releases before f20alpha to clean up some.
19:23:24 <nirik> #topic Sysadmin status / discussion
19:23:31 <nirik> so, on the sysadmin side...
19:24:07 <nirik> I'm still more commited than ever to moving to ansible, but our
progress will be definitely slowed as Seth was working on our tooling. ;(
19:24:33 <threebean> yeah :/
19:24:39 <nirik> #info nirik to be in phx2 july 29-31st
19:25:00 <nirik> #info outage for the 30th to add memory and drives to systems,
etc.
19:25:14 <nirik> #info koji outage next week... thursday night and friday.
19:25:20 <abadger1999> nirik: for ansible -- are we at a place where we could have a
1-2 hour irc or google hangout training?
19:25:38 <abadger1999> ie -- what the various folders in the ansible git repo are
for.
19:25:47 <abadger1999> walk through of creating a new host for a particular
purpose.
19:26:19 <abadger1999> maybe some common things that get changed like proxies, app
servers?
19:26:20 <nirik> abadger1999: possibly. The thing that was being worked on was the
parts to allow non sysadmin-main to run playbooks on hosts they could sudo on, and a
trigger/cronjob to run playbooks on changes. I was hoping to get those in place and then
do some training...
19:26:31 <abadger1999> <nod>
19:26:50 <nirik> I'd be happy to do a irc/hangout meetup tho to help get people
up to speed...
19:26:58 <rhaen> are vagrant boxes an option for this?
19:27:00 <nirik> and solicit help/ideas for the parts we still need.
19:27:11 <nirik> rhaen: nope, we don't use vagrant. ;)
19:27:34 <pingou> do we want to do it online or at flock?
19:27:46 <pingou> (one being not entirely against the other of course)
19:27:50 <nirik> rhaen: we actually have the virt setup story down pretty nicely...
you can just define variables in ansible and it makes it for you, installs, and runs
playbooks.
19:28:12 <rhaen> nirik: yep, got it - already looked into it.
19:28:31 <nirik> I think vagrant is premade images? (I've not used it much tho,
so not sure)
19:28:39 <nirik> pingou: we could do both possibly.
19:28:40 <rhaen> I thought just for the training to provide anyone with a
"fedora alike" environment for testing and educational stuff
19:28:57 <nirik> rhaen: ah, I see, misunderstood... yeah, you can use any box you
like to play with ansible.
19:29:01 <tflink> vagrant also doesn't work well with other-than-virtualbox vms,
IIRC
19:29:27 <rhaen> tflink: true, it supports vmware, too - however no kvms
19:29:36 <nirik> how about I try and setup a time next week sometime? and we can at
least gather and I can show what we have now and we can plan and see what our gaps are?
19:29:51 <pingou> sounds good
19:29:52 <abadger1999> nirik: sounds good.
19:30:19 <threebean> nirik: for the "run playbooks on changes" trigger..
did you have a git hook in mind?
19:30:24 <nirik> #info nirik to plan an ansible session next week to bring people up
to speed and discuss plans.
19:31:09 <nirik> threebean: yeah. We (well, Seth) was going to be more clever than
that tho... and figure out what hosts were affected by the change. So, if you check in a
badges01 change it would only re-run the badges playbook.
19:31:15 <smooge> looks like someone doesn't like freenode again
19:31:35 <threebean> nirik: yeah, I'm thinking about it now.
19:31:43 <nirik> we wanted to move to a more triggered model than a run every 30min
model that we have in puppet.
19:31:46 <oddshocks> smooge: yep
19:31:56 <nirik> sometimes of course you can't tell, and have to just run
everything.
19:31:57 <threebean> but, a smart git hook would be cool? you push, and it updates
only hosts that need updating?
19:32:11 <smooge> threebean, yeah
19:32:43 <nirik> threebean: yeah, although we also talked about making it time
delayed a bit... ie, so you could commit and someone could see your commit and tell you
about a mistake before it ran...
19:32:49 <nirik> but thats all up in the air.
19:33:17 <pingou> I remembered that last part
19:33:22 <oddshocks> that sounds cool.
19:33:57 <nirik> in some cases I like that our puppet commits run out after a
delay...
19:33:57 <threebean> cool..
19:34:08 <nirik> in other cases, it's something urgent and you really would
prefer fast.
19:34:37 <threebean> idea -> it would be cool if zodbot published a link to
ansible git diffs when we push so review can happen faster.
19:34:40 <threebean> at least, be more public.
19:34:50 <nirik> yep. I'm all for that.
19:34:58 <pingou> nirik: aren't these the same most of the time (ie: urgent
-> overlooked? :))
19:35:05 <nirik> sometimes. ;)
19:35:23 <pingou> threebean: fedmsg? :)
19:35:43 <threebean> pingou: https://gist.github.com/ralphbean/5963084
19:35:49 <smooge> well if zodbot listened to fedmesg and published them
19:36:11 <pingou> threebean: <3 #9
19:36:18 <nirik> fedmsg would be ok with me too I guess... although not sure how
interesting those messages would be to many fedmsg consumers.
19:36:36 <nirik> but I guess they can filter them if they don't care.
19:36:50 <nirik> lets see... other sysadmin stuff...
19:37:01 <pingou> nirik: you don't want your desktop notifications of commit on
ansible ? :)
19:37:06 <nirik> smooge: any news on new bladecenter, bvirthost replacements or
memory ordering? ;)
19:37:16 <smooge> nope
19:37:25 <nirik> pingou: might be amusing. I mostly just watch #fedora-fedmsg tho
19:37:28 <smooge> I am getting a quote on memory. and I will be putting it in
tomorrow
19:37:39 <smooge> I have been spending most of my week on a GNOME hardware issue
19:37:39 <nirik> smooge: the bvirthosts should be ready to order right?
19:37:42 <nirik> yeah. ;(
19:38:02 <smooge> nirik, I believe so I will do so after I get my allergy shot after
this meeting
19:38:15 <nirik> smooge: oh, also, where were we with that other ppc box?
19:38:25 <smooge> completely unknown.
19:38:48 <smooge> I will ping shaun on it
19:38:49 <nirik> it was racked? or we don't even know that?
19:39:21 <smooge> I thought it was racked but I can't find the email on it
19:39:40 <smooge> what I thought was it was the other ppc that we are removing
19:39:44 <nirik> oh yeah, and on the other ppc box... we were waiting for nfs
network to get them added to koji..
19:39:58 <nirik> should finish that up if we can.
19:40:41 <nirik> ok, any other sysadmin type stuff?
19:40:48 <smooge> oh email ticket was put into system about bladecenter.
19:40:58 <smooge> nirik, I need you to go look at fed-cloud03
19:41:12 <nirik> smooge: ok, can do after meeting?
19:41:32 <smooge> I believe its eth0 is now pointing to the internet but I can't
get into it because well its uhm pointing to the internet with an 172 ip
19:41:42 <dgilmore> nirik: we could always not use it for createrepo
19:42:16 <smooge> dgilmore, ? with all the net noise not sure what you are talking
about
19:42:20 <nirik> dgilmore: yeah, although they have a lot of memory and will mostly
be sitting there doing nothing, so it seems like createrepo would be something productive
for them. ;)
19:42:32 <nirik> smooge: the ppc01/ppc02 instances on the first new ppc box.
19:42:57 <smooge> dgilmore, I believe it should be a quick edit and push to the
puppet repo
19:43:11 <smooge> the internal puppet repo for netapps not ours
19:43:22 <nirik> smooge: they are on the nfs network on eth1 now?
19:43:31 <smooge> I believe so
19:43:56 <smooge> I tested pinging and such
19:44:13 <nirik> cool, we can finish that up then.
19:44:25 <nirik> #topic Upcoming Tasks/Items
19:44:25 <nirik> https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/list/infrastructure/
19:44:31 <smooge> by the way. I found our backup AIX knowledge person who can help
us
19:44:36 <nirik> anything upcoming folks would like to schedule or note?
19:44:39 <nirik> smooge: excellent.
19:44:42 <smooge> rbergeron,
19:44:45 <nirik> sad that we need one.
19:44:51 <nirik> ha! nice!
19:45:51 <nirik> #topic Open Floor
19:45:59 <nirik> any items for open floor?
19:45:59 <smooge> ok I think we are going to need to set aside some time at Flock
for a bunch of things
19:46:06 <rbergeron> smooge: NO
19:46:17 <dgilmore> rbergeron: NO?
19:46:19 <nirik> smooge: yeah, we always have quite a list. ;)
19:46:26 <smooge> sorry rbergeron you laid out your darkest secret about AIX and I
jumped on it
19:46:36 <smooge> because I am a rat bastard
19:47:04 <rbergeron> smooge: i have a 13 year old ppc aix box if you need me to send
it to you
19:47:25 <smooge> see rbergeron you can use it to test the commands for our LPARs
19:47:33 <smooge> and you are in PHX
19:47:43 <smooge> its all win
19:47:46 <rbergeron> i love when a plan comes together
19:47:54 <nirik> heh
19:48:21 <dgilmore> rbergeron: we love you
19:48:48 <nirik> ok, anything else from anyone, or shall we call it a meeting?
19:48:53 <smooge> ok for the Flock stuff I think it is mainly going to be not cool
stuff :/.
19:49:12 * mdomsch will have to miss flock :-(
19:49:18 <dgilmore> smooge: i have a list for you to do ;)
19:49:22 <dgilmore> mdomsch: :(
19:49:25 <smooge> :(
19:49:41 <nirik> mdomsch: :( Thats very sad news.
19:49:47 <smooge> mdomsch, I notice you mention it after I said it was not cool
stuff.
19:50:00 <mdomsch> smooge: not entire coincidental :-)
19:50:04 <pingou> mdomsch: arf :(
19:50:04 <smooge> that was a lie. It is really we are going to do it on the Aircraft
Carrier Yorktown
19:50:16 <threebean> woo!
19:50:19 <smooge> and there is cake
19:50:25 <nirik> punch and pie.
19:50:30 <pingou> smooge: you know what they say about cake
19:50:32 <pingou> and spoon
19:51:08 <smooge> ok well I don;'t have anything
19:51:19 <nirik> ok, will close out in a minute if nothing more.
19:52:29 <nirik> thanks for coming everyone.
