As always, minutes and IRC transcript available on the wiki at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20120611
Next meeting is scheduled for 2012-06-18 at 1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting.
If you have topics you think we should bring up at the meeting, please
add them to the Wiki page at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20120618 . Thanks!
TOPIC: Previous meeting follow-up
=======================================================================
* adamw to review F17 retrospective and come up with an action
plan - not done yet, but he's working on it
* adamw to work with rbergeron to make sure housekeeping gets
done for f16/f17/f18 - also not complete; j_dulaney reported
from SELF that spot will handle EOL bugs
TOPIC: Fedora 18 check-in
=======================================================================
* The current F18 feature list contains no features we find
particularly sensitive from a QA standpoint aside from the
new anaconda UI. other features to keep an eye on are the
package group re-organization, /tmp-on-tmpfs and the kerberos
changes
TOPIC: Bugzilla upgrade work
=======================================================================
* tflink will ensure the blocker bug tracker page is fixed for
new bugzilla, it may be turned into a static HTML page rather
than part of mediawiki
* We aren't aware of any other QA scripts that need fixing, and
Bodhi is already dealt with
TOPIC: AutoQA Update
=======================================================================
* Apart from some minor movement on RATS, nothing significant
TOPIC: Open Floor
=======================================================================
* j_dulaney noted that there was further discussion of ARM as a
primary arch at SELF, and asked for it to be added to the
agenda for the next meeting
ACTION ITEMS
=======================================================================
* adamw to review F17 retrospective and come up with an action
plan
* adamw to work with rbergeron to make sure housekeeping gets
done for f16/f17/f18
* tflink to fix up blocker bug page for new bugzilla, probably
as fedora-hosted static HTML rather than in MW
* tflink to set up QA git account

16:02:19 <dgilmore> hi
16:02:36 <cobra-the-joker> HERE !
16:02:46 * nirik waits a few more for folks to arrive.
16:03:51 <nirik> ok, lets go ahead and dive in then...
16:04:00 <nirik> #topic Broken Deps reports
16:04:19 <nirik> I meant to publish the basic script I had so people could work on it.
16:04:28 <nirik> but I failed. I will do so after the meeting. ;)
16:05:14 <nirik> Basically I have a script that works for epel6, it needs reworking so it could work for epel6+testing and epel5/epel5+testing...
16:05:21 <maxamillion> #info nirik to public broken dep script so people can review/hack on it
16:05:29 <maxamillion> oh wait, that's a chair thing isn't it?
16:05:37 <nirik> if someone can get it all set, I can add it to puppet, etc.
16:05:39 <nirik> maxamillion: yeah.

16:05:47 <maxamillion> oh goodness
16:05:49 <maxamillion> #info nirik to public broken dep script so people can review/hack on it
16:06:11 <nirik> ok, any questions there? if not, moving on...
16:06:24 * abadger1999 here
16:06:27 <nirik> #topic RHEL overlap policy
16:06:30 * Jeff_S here for one minute then need to run.
16:06:46 <nirik> so, we talked last time about a new policy, and there's been tons of discussion on list.
16:06:58 <nirik> Does anyone have any wording to propose? or further discussion to make on it?
16:07:28 <cobra-the-joker> everyone is sleepy o_0
16:07:38 <smooge> I believe the wording we had last time to cover just stuff under 6 basic is all that is needed
16:07:40 <nirik> yeah, I don't blame them. ;)
16:07:51 <maxamillion> smooge: +1
16:08:41 <nirik> what was that wording? because I want an actual thing we can look at. ;)
16:09:29 * nirik looks
16:10:08 <nirik> "EPEL6 will not ship any packages that have src.rpms under enterprise/6*/en/os/ with an exception for packages not shipped on one arch. Channels under enterprise/6/en/ may request EPEL remove any overlaping packages, and may be queried by EPEL about such overlaps from time to time."
16:10:14 <smooge> <nirik> proposal: EPEL6 will not ship any packages that have src.rpms under enterprise/6*/en/os/ with an exception for packages not shipped on one arch. Channels under enterprise/6/en/ may request EPEL remove any overlaping packages, and may be queried by EPEL about such overlaps from time to time.
16:11:06 <os_> cobra-the-joker, noy me
16:11:09 <os_> cobra-the-joker, not me
16:11:24 <cobra-the-joker> ؟!
16:11:34 <os_> <cobra-the-joker> everyone is sleepy o_0
16:11:38 <smooge> os_, please stay on topic here
16:11:40 <nirik> so, where does that leave the lb and ha channels? we currently use them in our build repo...
16:11:41 <cobra-the-joker> aha
16:11:44 <os_> sorry
16:12:09 <smooge> I think we need to see what gets pulled because of that
16:12:23 <nirik> and it leaves our users kind of unsure which channel is in what state... overlap ok, not ok, changed from ok to not ok... etc
16:13:20 <smooge> nirik, my main questions would be: Does CentOS/SciLin ship those rpms and does a basic subscription get those channels?
16:13:30 <nirik> I'd guess we would need a table on the wiki with that info...
16:13:47 <nirik> I think the answer is no, and yes.
16:13:56 <nirik> but I would have to look to be sure.
16:14:07 <abadger1999> smooge: and, can we use them in our buildsystem.
16:14:25 <nirik> abadger1999: we do currently.
16:14:32 <nirik> http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taginfo?tagID=140
16:14:41 <nirik> server, optional, lb and ha
16:14:47 <abadger1999> yeah. true for those channels. I wasn't sure if smooge's quesetions were more broad.
16:15:29 <nirik> I think it's completely impractical/impossible for us to just enable all channels. Some channels conflict with each other.
16:15:41 <dgilmore> nirik: right
16:15:55 <dgilmore> and some ship different versions of the same thing
16:15:59 <nirik> or at least both provide different versions of the same package.
16:16:06 <smooge> Well if a basic subscription gives those channels then we should go with that. If it doesn't then we shouldn't.
16:16:07 <dgilmore> that could in theory have different sonames etc
16:16:15 * nirik nods.
16:16:20 <maxamillion> smooge: +1
16:16:28 <abadger1999> <nod> Which for me means we should either always allow overlap with those channels or pick one and allow overlap with the other because of the conflict.
16:16:42 <nirik> I have no idea off hand what a basic subscription provides channel wise.
16:16:51 <maxamillion> lemme look
16:16:58 <abadger1999> smooge: I like that position.
16:17:24 <strace> smooge: +1
16:17:29 <nirik> so that would be 'no overlap with channels in a basic subscription' ?
16:18:26 <maxamillion> crap, RHN changed ... I can't find anything
16:18:31 <strace> Actually, how are we defining "basic subscription"? Just RHEL Server or are we defining it as RHEL Desktop?
16:18:33 <smooge> yeah.. the question is how can we get a basic supscription
16:19:00 <nirik> strace: server I assume, thats what we build against.
16:19:06 <strace> ok
16:19:23 <maxamillion> I would think either server or workstation
16:19:33 <maxamillion> probably server though
16:19:47 <nirik> http://fpaste.org/xAPF/
16:20:33 * nirik thinks this is getting too complex again.
16:21:02 <maxamillion> I say we do Server and Optional
16:21:15 <maxamillion> because I think we require Optional anyways don't we?
16:21:21 <nirik> pulling ha and lb would probibly nuke a number of things. I know it will kill heartbeat.
16:22:00 <smooge> Well in that case, could we go with the "we will rebuild with source from channel but at a NVR less than in channel?"
16:22:30 <maxamillion> I feel like that would be a pain to maintain
16:22:34 <nirik> we can, but thats a gigantic pain.
16:22:43 <nirik> I suspect many of the packages we have doing that now are doing it wrong.
16:22:56 <smooge> yeah probably
16:23:24 <smooge> sigh. I propose we end EPEL and let someone else handle this.
16:23:57 <smooge> not too seriously.
16:24:41 <nirik> well, I think any plan we come up with may make some people unhappy, but such is life I fear.
16:25:14 <maxamillion> +1
16:25:37 <maxamillion> can't always satisfy everyone and no matter what, someone's going to complain
16:25:57 <nirik> I guess I am leaning toward: No overlap with os/optional. No overlap with lb or ha (current list, will add channels as requested). Arch exceptions allowed for any overlaps.
16:26:19 <nirik> then when we add a channel on request for no overlaps, we add it to the buildsys and check it then for overlaping.
16:26:27 <abadger1999> How many packages are in ha and lb? How many important ones are?
16:26:29 <nirik> but I don't know if channel owners are going to know to request that.
16:26:47 * nirik looks
16:26:58 <abadger1999> It's possible that we can get those into EPEL.
16:27:36 <nirik> which? all the lb/ha contents?
16:28:01 <maxamillion> we could always say "we don't overlap with anything in http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/ and if you need something there, just pay for it" ... I feel like that would simplify things (but likely upset some folks)
16:28:18 <maxamillion> erm
16:28:20 <maxamillion> http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/*
16:28:26 <maxamillion> asterisk is important ;)
16:29:15 <nirik> maxamillion: that would result in a large drop in epel packages.
16:29:30 <smooge> like over half
16:29:51 <maxamillion> it would make things more simple though ... didn't say it was the greatest suggestion in the world
16:30:16 <abadger1999> maxamillion: Just started browsing and already spotted conflicts there.
16:30:18 <nirik> maxamillion: well, it would make things more simple for end consumers, it would be a nightmare on the rel-eng side.
16:30:18 <maxamillion> I'm just throwing ideas out there and I'm open to others ... certainly not married to any of them
16:30:29 <maxamillion> nirik: oh?
16:30:31 <nirik> yeah, there's not a great answer here.
16:30:35 <abadger1999> CloudForms has a different mod_wsgi package from os
16:30:47 <nirik> and a different puppet from epel
16:30:48 <maxamillion> abadger1999: heh, of course it does
16:31:48 <abadger1999> nirik: yeah, all the lb/ha content
16:33:00 <maxamillion> so is LB/HA considered wide spread enough that we don't want to conflict with it because it would impact a large enough user base that it could be problematic where as other additional subscription channels are a bit more niche or aren't likely candidate deployments for adding in EPEL? (just trying to clarify for myself)
16:33:13 <nirik> since the channels are so different, I don't think we are going to get one size fits all here.
16:33:50 <nirik> maxamillion: yeah, I would agree with that. Base sub allows you to use lb and ha... and they have many popular packages for rhel.
16:34:34 <abadger1999> <nod>
16:34:59 * abadger1999 looks at the list of what's available with base sub again
16:35:14 <nirik> there's some more than I pasted... there's beta ones.
16:35:26 <nirik> but I don't think those should count.
16:36:16 <nirik> lb has 3 packages in it.
16:36:34 <nirik> ha has 158
16:37:00 <abadger1999> Additional channels are: Resilient Storage, Supplementary V2VWin RHN Tools for RHEL, RH Ent Virt Agent, FasTrack (which is a different "type" of channel?)
16:37:20 <nirik> yeah, fastrack is different.
16:39:36 <nirik> so, anyone want to push a proposal? or shall we try and ponder on it more?
16:40:21 <smooge> Well I think status quo works best.
16:40:32 <maxamillion> "status quo" ?
16:40:45 <smooge> ServerOS, LB, HA
16:40:46 <nirik> I guess I will put forth:
16:40:49 <maxamillion> smooge: +1
16:41:15 <abadger1999> nirik: What was "Arch exceptions allowed for any overlaps" above?
16:41:50 * abadger1999 has some wording but would like to incorporate that idea as well.
16:41:58 <nirik> EPEL6 will not conflict with os and optional. Addtionally, it will not conflict with: lb, ha (this list subject to additions). Arch overlaps allowed when there's overlaping.
16:42:05 <nirik> abadger1999: let me get a link, just a sec.
16:42:22 <nirik> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL:Packaging#Limited_Arch_Packages
16:42:37 <abadger1999> <nod> k
16:43:13 * nirik notes that inode0 didn't like per channel exceptions as it seemed potentitally confusing to end users, but I'm not sure how to avoid it.
16:43:52 <abadger1999> How about changing your "this list subject to additions) to: (this list subject to additions available to a base subscription where the channels do not conflict with each other, os, or optional)
16:44:44 <nirik> hum, that reads more confusing to me. what does that get us?
16:44:56 * abadger1999 works on the language some
16:45:04 <abadger1999> it gets us a better set of expectations.
16:45:54 <nirik> I see that ha and rs have overlapping packages...
16:45:57 <smooge> does "Overlaps are allowed in arches that do not ship packages in those channels." work better for the second sentence?
16:46:07 <nirik> at least from a quick glance, cluster-glue is shipped in both
16:46:10 <abadger1999> rather than Oh, someone asked that we add this random channel so we should add it and cause disruption to users, it limits the set of channels that could potentially be added.
16:46:21 <nirik> ah, I see...
16:46:38 <nirik> so if we got some other channel telling us not to overlap, we could say sorry/
16:47:56 <abadger1999> yeah.
16:48:16 * nirik doesn't want to cause problems for other channels... you would think they would have a good reason for asking us not to overlap.
16:50:22 <abadger1999> EPEL6 will not conflict with os, optional and certain channels available to a Base Subscription. Currently, those channels are lb and ha but other base subscription channels may be added if they do not conflict with os and optional. Overlaps are allowed to resolve packages missing on a specific arch according to [link].
16:51:06 <abadger1999> that doesn't quite capture things like conflict between ha and rs... hmmm...
16:51:12 <nirik> yeah.
16:51:18 <nirik> I think we need to be more generic.
16:52:00 <smooge> EPEL6 will not conflict with os, optional and certain channels available to a Base Subscription. People who have a problem with this are to see Dennis Gilmore in Blind Dark Alley.
16:52:40 <nirik> EPEL6 will not conflict with os, optional and specific other RHEL channels. Currently those are lb and ha. Other channels may be added on a case by case basis. Overlaps are allowed to resolve packages missing on specific arches according to <link>
16:52:47 <nirik> smooge: +1
16:53:33 <abadger1999> So... od we all agree on the idea of limiting additional channels to (1) no conflicts with the channels already in the buildroot. (2) available to a base subscription?
16:53:36 <abadger1999> *do
16:53:46 <smooge> I do
16:53:48 <nirik> dgilmore: you've been trying to talk with channel owners? How possible is it to find out who owns a channel and communicate with them about this?
16:54:16 <dgilmore> nirik: so far ive not gotten very far
16:54:16 <nirik> abadger1999: I'm not sure about the base subscription thing...
16:54:50 <nirik> I guess the idea is that people with more niche subscriptions would know better how to deal with conflicts/overlaps?
16:55:44 <nirik> but I can think of cases where channel foo ships package bar thats also in epel, and a different version and it's causing them support problems with people overlaping and they ask us to remove bar...
16:56:19 * nirik notes we are coming up on an hour now.
16:56:31 <abadger1999> I was thinking more of the "can contributors still build and run the packages" aspect.
16:56:58 <abadger1999> a base subscription seems like a reasonable line to draw there.
16:57:19 <nirik> yeah, true.
16:57:42 <abadger1999> that said, I feel no conflicts is a blocker for me.
16:57:52 <nirik> yeah.
16:58:02 <abadger1999> base subscription would be very nice, but I could live without it.
16:58:09 <nirik> for example the cluster-glue in ha and rs is the exact same version... does that mean they keep in sync? no idea.
16:58:38 <abadger1999> yeah.
16:59:52 <nirik> so, where shall we go here? proposals on list? more thoughts? different meeting time? ;)
17:00:10 <smooge> I think this time as good as it gets at the moment
17:00:22 <smooge> proposals on list with vote next week
17:00:57 <nirik> ok.
17:01:04 <nirik> #info proposals on list, further discussion.
17:01:10 <nirik> #topic Open Floor
17:01:15 <nirik> anything for open floor real quick?
17:01:50 <nirik> ok, will close out in a minute then.
17:01:53 <nirik> thanks for coming everyone.

18:02:45 <rossdylan> Hi everyone
18:02:48 <nirik> welcome rossdylan
18:02:53 <threebean> Hi :)
18:02:55 <nirik> cool on the badges. ;)
18:02:56 <marcdeop> welcome rossdylan :)
18:03:12 <rossdylan> thanks :D
18:03:51 <nirik> ok, I guess lets move along then...
18:03:53 <nirik> #topic two factor auth status
18:04:03 <nirik> any news on this this week?
18:04:06 <skvidal> nothing really. I tried to get ahold of wolfkit
18:04:14 <skvidal> not much
18:04:20 <nirik> yeah, I've not seen him on irc of late much
18:04:34 <nirik> I get the idea we are close to ready to setup a staging/test
18:04:39 <skvidal> we are
18:04:55 <nirik> which will be very nice. ;)
18:04:57 <skvidal> it's round-tuits and a little bit of code
18:05:01 <skvidal> also - I wanted to ask
18:05:14 <skvidal> has anyone in here used http://code.google.com/p/mod-auth-external/
18:05:16 <skvidal> and
18:05:20 <skvidal> http://code.google.com/p/pwauth/
18:05:26 <relrod> Yeah I haven't talked to wolfkit much recently either, I can try poking him via other means (I have contact with him outside of Fedora) and get him to check in
18:05:28 <skvidal> it's somewhat related
18:05:37 * nirik hasn't
18:05:37 <skvidal> relrod: that'd be great
18:05:48 <skvidal> so the gist of it is
18:05:55 <skvidal> we use mod-auth-external
18:06:01 <skvidal> coupled with pwauth
18:06:20 <skvidal> to do auth to fas2 for things like hosted trac, nagios, etc etc
18:06:32 <skvidal> w/o needing a direct db connection to fas2
18:06:41 <nirik> yeah, and that gets them to the same level as other places where the fas servers do not need to be up
18:06:53 <skvidal> yah
18:07:14 <nirik> (or the database as the case may be)
18:07:19 <skvidal> I've read the security warnings about both
18:07:27 <skvidal> and they don't seem more dramatic than anything else
18:07:41 <nirik> are they packaged up yet?
18:07:43 <skvidal> yes
18:07:44 <skvidal> in epel
18:07:47 <skvidal> all ready to roll
18:08:04 <nirik> cool. Sounds like a good thing to test out and see if there are any gotchas.
18:08:14 <skvidal> nod
18:08:19 <skvidal> it would, of course, HAVE to be ssl'd
18:08:23 <skvidal> but I think we assume that now anyway
18:08:25 <nirik> I was looking at mod_auth_openid... but it doesn't solve that problem (still need the fas openid provider to login)
18:08:45 <skvidal> so the only thing I am hazy on is this
18:08:51 <skvidal> pwauth needs to be setuid
18:09:00 <skvidal> so it can make the pam check at all
18:09:06 <skvidal> so the gist of it is
18:09:33 <skvidal> apache -> mod-auth-external -> pwauth -> pam -> talks to local pam auth
18:09:42 <nirik> we might run this idea by the RH security folks too?
18:09:43 <skvidal> then you can make a fall through to check for a group membership
18:10:04 <skvidal> maybe...
18:10:29 <skvidal> okay - that's all.
18:10:37 <nirik> ok, sounds good.
18:10:44 <skvidal> if anyone wants to setup those and test them - feel free to let me know
18:10:48 <skvidal> otherwise roundtuits
18:10:55 <nirik> #info will look at testing mod_auth_external / pwauth for nagios/trac
18:11:33 <nirik> #topic Applications status / discussion
18:11:46 <nirik> Any application news this week?
18:11:52 * pingou has not much
18:12:01 <threebean> oo, oo. me!
18:12:05 <threebean> https://admin.stg.fedoraproject.org/updates (bodhi) and http://community01.dev.fedoraproject.org/tagger (tagger) are emitting zmq messages now.
18:12:06 <nirik> I hear that we had actual messages going accross fedmsg bus in staging this week? :)
18:12:19 <threebean> :)
18:12:23 <threebean> You can see them by logging onto a staging machine and running: "$ fedmsg-tail --really-pretty" while poking at the apps.
18:12:39 <ianweller_> and that means it's time for me to start work on datanommer ;)
18:13:00 <threebean> I'm splitting up the config into /etc/fedmsg.d/ now (because /etc/fedmsg-config.py is ballooning).
18:13:03 <nirik> threebean: does that need to be any specific machine? or just anything?
18:13:04 <threebean> After that, I'll try standing up mediawiki+fedmsg in staging.
18:13:20 <threebean> nirik: should be anything in puppetEnvironment == 'staging'
18:13:24 <nirik> cool.
18:13:38 <smooge> tres cool
18:14:12 <nirik> speaking of mediawiki... smooge / ianweller_: whats next for mediawiki 119?
18:14:34 * relrod has a few small things - I worked with abadger1999 last night on making a new python-fedora release which adds a method to create FAS groups, which I needed for the fedorahosted app. Also did some testing with him making sure fas01.dev is working fine.
18:14:52 <ianweller_> i think since we're still working on mw118, we do that
18:14:53 <smooge> I need to build it in EPEL. I need to get the plugins reviewed
18:14:57 <ianweller_> wait
18:14:59 <ianweller_> we are doing 119
18:15:00 <ianweller_> that's right
18:15:05 * ianweller_ shuts up
18:15:19 <nirik> I can help with plugins.
18:15:27 <nirik> would be nice to get it updated. ;)
18:15:29 <smooge> right now the plugins are the ones we use in our private idaho
18:16:11 <smooge> my steps would be then would be update in a .dev. environment to see if it will work cleanly. Then do so in staging and then production
18:16:21 <nirik> yeah.
18:16:23 <smooge> ianweller_, did the last "update" so I will need info from him
18:16:30 <relrod> As far as the fedorahosted app itself, I'm working on getting the various fedorahosted SCMs processable via the CLI. Git requests should almost kindasorta work. Mailing lists should get created via ansible when we move lists to hosted-lists01 (I need to test the ansible bits locally, but it *should* work as-is).
18:16:38 <nirik> we can probibly just go to stg with it... do it on one of the apps there.
18:16:47 <ianweller_> that's fun, because i don't remember doing the last updat e;)
18:17:03 <threebean> relrod: that's awesome
18:17:14 <nirik> excellent.
18:17:29 <threebean> smooge, nirik: if it winds up in app*.stg, let's just communicate so aren't both fighting over mediawiki at the same time. :)
18:17:29 <nirik> ianweller_: I'm sure we can sort it out. ;)
18:17:32 <ianweller_> smooge: are you wanting to work on this stuff today?
18:17:35 <ianweller_> smooge: or when
18:17:45 <nirik> threebean: yeah, agreed. Please coordinate.
18:18:34 <smooge> GNOME server went tango uniform again.. will be focusing on that for a few minutes
18:18:51 <skvidal> smooge: I hear if you just reseat everything it'll be fine
18:18:52 <skvidal> ;)
18:19:04 <nirik> In other application news, we moved fas db to it's own db server. This should prevent it from getting hit by load issues on other apps.
18:19:20 <skvidal> w00t
18:19:23 <nirik> smooge: ;(
18:19:28 <nirik> ok, any other application news?
18:19:30 <skvidal> we also gave db02.stg more ram
18:19:38 <skvidal> so hopefully it will stop crapping out occasionally
18:19:39 <nirik> oh yeah.
18:19:51 <threebean> rossdylan is making rapid progress on badges for week #1.
18:20:00 <nirik> skvidal: are we overcommited on any virthosts now?
18:20:05 <nirik> (on mem)
18:20:18 <skvidal> umm lemme look
18:20:35 <nirik> threebean / rossdylan: cool. Is there any place with a plan/overview of the badges setup? or place were folks could step up to help?
18:20:37 <rossdylan> indeed I am, you can now award badges to people (based on email) by listening on the fedmsg bus
18:20:59 <skvidal> nirik: running
18:21:00 <rossdylan> current dev is hosted on github.com/rossdylan/fedmsg
18:21:31 <threebean> nirik: nothing written down :/
18:21:52 <threebean> rossdylan: let's definitely do that so infra peeps can review it
18:21:56 <nirik> also, dunno if it's worth looking at to see if you could pull in, but our askbot instance has badges...
18:22:00 <skvidal> nirik: virthost10.phx2.fedoraproject.org:-479
18:22:07 <skvidal> still a little short there - but I bet we never hit it
18:22:24 <nirik> http://ask.fedoraproject.org/badges/
18:22:29 <skvidal> nirik: oh and virthost06.phx2.fedoraproject.org:-814
18:22:29 <nirik> skvidal: ok, good to know.
18:22:45 <skvidal> hmm
18:22:58 <skvidal> releng01, ask01, bapp02, packages01
18:23:08 <nirik> releng01 is bvirthost06. ;)
18:23:19 <rossdylan> nirik, we were thinking about creating scripts to dump existing badges (or existing activities that need awarding) into the newer open badges system
18:23:44 <nirik> rossdylan: sounds reasonable.
18:23:53 <nirik> ok, shall we move on then?
18:23:55 <skvidal> nirik: right - sorry - bad grep
18:24:13 <nirik> #topic Upcoming Tasks/Items
18:24:27 <nirik> here's what I have on my list for upcoming:

18:24:34 <nirik> #info 2012-06-28 Seth at jury duty.
18:24:46 <nirik> I'm going to ask fesco about the people who have bugzilla email issues...
18:24:53 <nirik> get permission to just remove them all.
18:25:02 <nirik> next wed we will be doing mass reboots.
18:25:14 <nirik> anything else folks would like to schedule or note?
18:26:14 <nirik> we need to reschedule the lists.fedorahosted move sometime.
18:26:35 <skvidal> does anyone here have any dyndns or round-robin dns mgmt experience?
18:26:58 <skvidal> I was looking for some input on if there is a vastly simpler way to do something we're currently doing in a kludgy, horrible way
18:26:59 <skvidal> :)
18:27:20 * nirik has avoided those setups in the past. ;)
18:27:35 <skvidal> well we're stuck with roundrobin
18:27:38 <abadger1999> nirik: I don't have the date handy but -- date that RH is turning of old bugzilla compatibility should probably be noted
18:27:40 <skvidal> I do not know a way around it for our proxies
18:27:47 <nirik> skvidal: oh, we might ask letoto, he's mr dns.
18:27:59 <nirik> abadger1999: good idea. I think I saw it somewhere, let me look.
18:27:59 <skvidal> nirik: I thought he only cared about dnssec
18:28:01 <smooge> skvidal, I do
18:28:52 <skvidal> smooge: so right now the process we use for updating dns for hte proxies is....
18:28:56 <skvidal> ridiculously complicated
18:28:59 <skvidal> 1. edit in 12 locations
18:29:01 <skvidal> 2. edit serial
18:29:03 <nirik> #topic Dns
18:29:05 <skvidal> 3. commit to git
18:29:08 <skvidal> 4. push
18:29:15 <skvidal> 5. force-puppet on ns\*
18:29:17 <skvidal> 6. wait
18:29:22 <skvidal> 7. do what you want to do
18:29:30 <skvidal> 8. do those again to put it all back
18:29:33 <marcdeop> wow, that's a lot of steps
18:29:46 <skvidal> sorry 12 is an exaggeration
18:29:52 <skvidal> it's only 6 locations
18:29:56 <smooge> yeah.. pretty much standard fair for doing the "we want people in X to use this proxy over that proxy"
18:30:06 <skvidal> so here's what I was thinking
18:30:16 <smooge> listening
18:30:24 <skvidal> we use the proxies just as fedoraproject.org and wildcard.fedoraproject.org
18:31:03 <skvidal> in most cases the sites are CNAMES to wildcard
18:31:21 <skvidal> (admin.fp.o, for example or www)
18:31:36 <smooge> yes
18:31:36 <skvidal> what I was thinking is that we setup a subdomain
18:31:43 <skvidal> dyn.fedoraproject.org
18:32:06 <skvidal> so we can edit that one domain - for changes to the proxies
18:32:15 <skvidal> and bump only the serial in that domain
18:32:31 <skvidal> the website names, of course, don't change
18:32:35 <skvidal> that's the point of the cnames
18:32:42 <skvidal> so if I go to www.fedoraproject.org
18:32:49 <skvidal> it currently goes to wildcard.fedoraproject.org
18:33:05 <skvidal> which RR dns to one of our proxy ips - dependent on which GEOip you're coming from
18:33:22 <skvidal> all we'd be changing is instead of going to wildcard.fedoraproject.org
18:33:28 <skvidal> it would be wildcard.dyn.fedoraproject.org
18:33:50 <skvidal> and instead of hand-editing the zones in puppet/git and pushing them out
18:34:01 <skvidal> we could script the creation/updating of that zone
18:34:26 <skvidal> just create a dictionary of ips and which regions they should exist in
18:34:32 <nirik> I think this is worth persuing.
18:34:36 <skvidal> and populate the various region-specific files that way
18:34:47 <smooge> skvidal, that sounds good.
18:34:47 <skvidal> so I guess what I'm wondering is..
18:34:52 <skvidal> has someone else already done this?
18:35:02 <nirik> not only for less editing/stuff when we change things, but allowing for automation (example nagios pulls a site thats down from dns for us)
18:35:36 <skvidal> it also seems like
18:35:39 <smooge> well we were using cobbler to do zones for building stuff and editing bind files that way. At another spot we had a shell script which did pretty much what you said for a limited domain
18:35:42 <skvidal> it would make the process less error prine
18:35:51 <skvidal> s/prine/prone/
18:35:56 <nirik> yes.
18:36:28 <nirik> also, ideally I'd prefer if there were a nag when it's not in the 'normal' config state. Currently, we take something out, and when it's back up, we forget to re-add it
18:37:19 <skvidal> okay..
18:37:22 <nirik> anyhow, I don't know of anything done like this before, but we could look around on the net?
18:37:23 <skvidal> here's what I might do
18:37:33 <skvidal> there's no reason to NOT setup the dns zone
18:37:37 <skvidal> and just not USE it for anything
18:37:45 <skvidal> ie: just test populating/updating the zones
18:37:54 <skvidal> but nothing is ever referred to inside it
18:37:55 <skvidal> right?
18:37:59 <skvidal> that seems harm-free to me
18:38:11 <nirik> yep. Should be fine.
18:38:20 <skvidal> so I may look into that as a start
18:38:26 <skvidal> unless someone else wants to take this on
18:39:05 * marcdeop is not sure has the knowledge need but wants to help skvidal out
18:39:08 * nirik listens to the silence. ;)
18:39:19 * marcdeop s/need/needed
18:39:28 <skvidal> marcdeop: do you have any dns experience?
18:39:35 <nirik> #info skvidal to work on more automated/dynamic zone updates for our primary zone
18:39:35 <marcdeop> a little bit, yes
18:40:03 <skvidal> marcdeop: well - all we're talking about is a script that lets us generate a pretty simple dns zone
18:40:11 <skvidal> it's really just a template
18:40:22 <skvidal> I bet I could use python jinja to most of it
18:40:33 <skvidal> the only tricky part is state maintenance
18:40:42 <skvidal> and making the commands make sense to someone updating it
18:40:53 <skvidal> marcdeop: I'll sketch up some pseudocode
18:40:58 <skvidal> and post to infra for complaints
18:41:04 <skvidal> if you want to work on fleshing it out - feel free
18:41:10 <nirik> sounds good.
18:41:39 <nirik> #topic Open Floor
18:41:48 <nirik> Any other items anyone has? questions? comments?
18:41:58 <skvidal> how about the clean up issues we encountered this week?
18:42:08 <smooge> I will be out next Thursday
18:42:13 <skvidal> smooge: have fun!
18:42:22 <nirik> skvidal: sure, would be good to note those...
18:42:23 <smooge> I am going to a security conference in Santa Fe for a couple of hours
18:42:33 <smooge> should be learning some new things
18:42:52 <smooge> hopefully not all Windows related :)
18:42:58 <nirik> smooge: cool.
18:43:00 <skvidal> nirik: well I was thinking of these items:
18:43:10 <marcdeop> couple of hours = next week? wooow
18:43:12 <marcdeop> :P
18:43:32 <skvidal> 1. all of sign-* hosts redo/work/update
18:43:35 <skvidal> 2. old puppet crap
18:43:55 <nirik> 3. firewalls?
18:43:57 <skvidal> 3. httpd::site vs httpd::website and porting things around
18:44:02 <skvidal> (firewalls, yes)
18:44:06 <skvidal> 4. fakefas reinstall
18:44:36 <skvidal> 5. it's been a while since the last time we changed global root pws
18:44:58 <relrod> 5 I was thinking about the other day and agree with.
18:45:10 <nirik> right. So, on 1. I am wondering if we should consider a late summer FAD for infrastructure security stuff. We could gather somewhere and work on redoing our sign stuff, finish implementing the 2factor auth stuff, talk about signing commits, talk about any other secuity deliverables we might want to have.
18:45:32 <nirik> we could also do 5 at that time with many of us in person?
18:45:47 <skvidal> nirik: root pw change is triviall, actually
18:45:53 <nirik> well, yeah, true.
18:45:54 <skvidal> i have a func script which can do it globally
18:46:08 <skvidal> speaking of that I made a change to our global ssh configuration this week
18:46:16 * marcdeop is sorry but has to leave. Hopes to read any stuff left in the log :)
18:46:22 <skvidal> such that it is now possible for us to allow root to login - but only using ssh keys
18:46:28 <nirik> marcdeop: no problem.
18:46:32 <skvidal> however, I have not enabled any authorized_keys
18:46:55 <nirik> I'm ok with a rootpw change anytime.
18:47:32 <skvidal> nirik: okay I'll jot it down
18:47:53 * nirik was also wanting to change the default IMM passwords/other places thats used.
18:47:58 <nirik> but thats more work
18:48:07 <relrod> nirik: when/where are you thinking about the FAD? I was thinking 'VFAD' but you said in-person
18:48:14 <skvidal> nirik: can we do that via the ssh connection?
18:48:20 <skvidal> nirik: b/c that would be WAY easier
18:48:21 <nirik> skvidal: not sure.
18:48:24 <skvidal> relrod: VFADs suck
18:48:29 <skvidal> relrod: b/c people are still distracted
18:48:45 <skvidal> let me rephrase
18:48:50 <skvidal> vfads do not suck
18:48:53 <skvidal> they suck for things like this
18:48:54 <nirik> relrod: yeah, if we can get funding... it occured to me that no one does FAD's anymore... but perhaps infra could put together a compelling one.
18:49:11 * pingou likes the idea
18:49:14 <relrod> Yeah. I think it'd be cool
18:49:17 <skvidal> in person, relatively isolated could work for hammering out something.
18:49:19 <nirik> not that I like traveling, but I bet we could get a lot done in a weekend face to face with less distractions.
18:49:31 <skvidal> or better yet! not a weekend! :)
18:49:34 <nirik> or at least a lot of plans to bring back
18:49:38 <nirik> sure, that too.
18:49:43 <pingou> a long week-end ? :)
18:50:02 <nirik> anyhow, it's just an idea.
18:50:12 <nirik> I'll run it by the list and see what interest there is.
18:50:16 <pingou> nirik: in your idea, where would it be held ?
18:50:16 * relrod likes it - if I can help plan it somehow let me know
18:50:29 <nirik> pingou: good question.
18:50:37 <nirik> we are pretty spread out...
18:50:39 <pingou> nirik: US is the basic answer, but east/west cost ?
18:50:54 <skvidal> I bet we could get a conference room in the RDU office for free
18:50:57 <nirik> I suspect it would come down to costs...
18:51:19 <nirik> where can we get space/net/etc... where is cheap to fly people into...where is cheap to have people stay
18:52:03 * relrod likes the idea a lot
18:52:05 <smooge> let us do one in Phoenix :). In the summer
18:52:09 <nirik> another possibility would be to try something next to fudcon... have folks come in a few days sooner or leave a few days later.
18:52:17 <nirik> but thats next year
18:53:13 <nirik> smooge: we could all sit next to the servers in the datacenter. ;)
18:53:25 <pingou> \ó/
18:53:32 <pingou> nice and cold
18:53:41 <nirik> but unfortunately, loud.
18:53:46 <skvidal> incredibly loud
18:53:56 <pingou> hear plugs ? :)
18:53:59 <nirik> anyhow, I'll send out a thing to the list and see what folks think...
18:53:59 <skvidal> I've never been in a quiet datacenter
18:54:05 <skvidal> nirik: cool
18:54:06 <pingou> and we can chat on irc :)
18:54:24 <nirik> I'll note it's important for FAD's to have a list of specific deliverables...
18:54:36 <nirik> not just "work on stuff"
18:54:39 <skvidal> right
18:54:42 <skvidal> I think that list is not hard
18:54:51 <skvidal> sign* fixup/redo/document/process
18:54:56 <skvidal> 2fa
18:54:59 <nirik> yeah, I have a long list of things I would like to have done/do/plan
18:55:11 <skvidal> well we could focus it down to only auth/security if it would help
18:55:21 <pingou> abadger1999: webapp FAD ?
18:55:22 <nirik> yeah, thats what I was thinking too.
18:55:34 <abadger1999> Maybe Colorado is the closest to all of infra-sysadmin :-)
18:55:51 <jaysonr> sorry i almost missed the meeting - I was thinking it was #PM EDT :)
18:55:53 <nirik> abadger1999: we could make a graph. ;)
18:55:58 <jaysonr> 3PM*
18:55:58 <abadger1999> pingou: We could. I bet Boston area is most central for those.
18:56:07 <skvidal> anyway - to the list?
18:56:12 <pingou> abadger1999: likely
18:56:27 <relrod> webapp/fedora-apps FAD would be cool too, yes :P
18:56:31 <nirik> yeah. (I would be happy with colorado, because then I wouldn't have to fly)
18:56:40 <nirik> anyhow, anything else? or shall we call it a meeting?
18:56:44 <skvidal> nirik: you could drive to raleigh if you really wanted to
18:56:58 <nirik> yeah.
18:57:16 <nirik> possibly could do train too, but I bet I would have to go via chicago or something silly.
18:57:48 <nirik> ok, thanks for coming everyone.
18:57:58 <nirik> #endmeeting
