See [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700020 bug #700020] for
details.
I was informed that yum and createrepo already support xz compression for
metadata, yet in Fedora still use bz2. We should probably switch
repositories to use xz as well.
I was told to talk with rel-eng, I hope this is the right place to do so.

#5214: Setup koji tags and repo for Docs

Reporter: crantila | Owner: rel-eng@…

-----------------------------+------------------------
Posted here as per [https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-
infrastructure/ticket/3320]
'''phenomenon'''
To support simpler and more robust updates to docs.fp.o, need to setup
koji to handle a new tag and repo for Docs.
'''implementation recommendation'''
<Sparks> What would be required to stand up a separate instance of koji
for Docs? <dgilmore> Sparks: why would you want a seperate instance?
<dgilmore> Sparks: i dont see any valid reason to do so <Sparks> dgilmore:
For the Docs website. Publican has the ability publish documentation from
packages (separate repo from the Fedora repo) for the website. We want to
replace the git repo that operates it now. <dgilmore> Sparks: and why does
that need a seperate koji? <Sparks> The git repo has gotten HUGE and is
becoming an issue. <dgilmore> Sparks: so, why does that mean a seperate
koji instance <dgilmore> Sparks: we could use a seperate tag and targets
in koji <dgilmore> i dont see why it would need its own koji <Sparks>
dgilmore: It's either that or try to get everyone setup as packagers.
<dgilmore> Sparks: get everyone setup as packagers <Sparks> dgilmore:
Except that they really won't be packagers. <dgilmore> Sparks: though you
dont need to be a a packager to get a koji cert <dgilmore> you just need
fas <dgilmore> Sparks: what would be the workflow? <Sparks> dgilmore:
Okay, and with that we can send packages through koji and tag them
separately? <Sparks> dgilmore: Basically we just tell Publican to build
the package and submit it to koji. The Publican software does all the
work. <dgilmore> Sparks: I still really dont know what your trying to do.
pretend im an idiot(not really that hard) and explain what it is and how
it should work <Sparks> dgilmore: I'm not far off... <Sparks> dgilmore: So
Publican will make an SRPM package, submit it to koji destined for a repo.
Our Publican backend will install those packages and publish the data to
the website. <Sparks> ...as I understand it <dgilmore> Sparks: so we would
need to set up seperate tags and tagets for it, defining a koji policy
allowing srpms to be built. likely we would add a new group to koji and
add people allowed to build docs to it and limit access to the
tags/targets to people in that group <dgilmore> Sparks: so its all doable
<Sparks> dgilmore: Well that's a lot easier. :) <Sparks> dgilmore: We
already have a group in FAS for people that should have access (docs-
publishers). Should I open a ticket? <dgilmore> Sparks: koji doesnt know
anything about fas <dgilmore> Sparks: please file a ticket. We wont be
able to make changes until after f17 is done <Sparks> dgilmore: That's
fine. We're not completely ready for the transition so after F17 would be
good. <Sparks> dgilmore: Thanks!

#3624: fullfilelist changes

After each push, we need to run the following command:
rsync -r . > fullfilelist
This should overwrite the fullfilelist that's there and isn't very useful
at the moment:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/fullfilelist
We can't do this via a cron job, it has to go out after each push so it
needs to be added to those scripts.

#3761: add gpg signature for .treeinfo file and/or add CHECKSUM file for unsigned
content of images
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: jkeating | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Type: task | Status: new
Milestone: | Component: other
Keywords: meeting |
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Description of problem:
Currently the only way to verify the contents of .treeinfo or the
installer
images is to download the .iso and the regarding -CHECKSUM file and check
it.
But e.g. preupgrade does not download the .iso but the *.img files, the
kernel
and the .treeinfo directly from a mirror. Therefore it is also not
possible to
easily verify these files. I guess the preupgrade way of updating is
somehow
popular, therefore it should be possible to do this securely.
I filed a bug against preupgrade for not verifying anything and not
announcing
this here: bug 509338

Can we get collectd in EPEL set to disable multi-lib? It has become an
issue on EPEL where installing "collectd" via yum creates conflicts it
shouldn't.

#4324: Change product string in pungi for better syslinux usability
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: duffy | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Type: task | Status: new
Milestone: | Component: other

-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Right now when you boot Fedora live media or otherwise call up Syslinux,
you are greeted with:
"Welcome to Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop!"
It's not the most welcoming message though because the string is a bit
unwieldy and hard-to-read. Syslinux pulls from the PRODUCT string produced
via pungi:
scripts/mk-images.x86: sed -i "s/@PRODUCT@/$PRODUCT/g"
$MBD_BOOTTREE/syslinux.cfg
I was hoping that string produced by pungi could be cleaned up a bit to be
more friendly. Some examples I think that would be better:
Fedora 14 (32-bit)
Fedora 14 (64-bit)
Fedora 14 (32-bit DVD)
Fedora 14 (64-bit DVD)
Fedora 14: KDE Plasma (32-bit)
Fedora 14: KDE Plasma (64-bit)
Fedora 14: LXDE (32-bit)
Fedora 14: LXDE (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Xfce (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Xfce (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Electronic Lab (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Electronic Lab (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Design Suite (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Design Suite (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Sugar on a Stick (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Sugar on a Stick (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Games Spin (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Games Spin (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Security Lab (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Security Lab (64-bit)
So the rules I'm suggesting for the strings:
- The default desktop is called simply "Fedora $VERSION ($ARCH)"
- Any non-default spins are called "Fedora $VERSION: $NAME_OF_SPIN
($ARCH)"
- The spin name is derived from either the http://fedoraproject.org/en
/get-fedora-options#desktops get.fpo options page or the
spins.fedoraproject.org full name for the spin. (KDE is probably updating
theirs to KDE Plasma as reflected in example strings above.)
- Put the arch in () after the name of the spin. Where arch is '32-bit',
'64-bit', 'Power PC', etc. The arch names here are suggested to be
consistent with what the downloads are labeled on our main web pages
(get.fpo and spins.fpo)
- If it's live media, don't indicate that, don't point it out. Only
indicate if it's a DVD.
If it's DVD, point it out after the arch in the ( )
- $VERSION should be a whole number without decimals for a final release.
For test releases / release candidates it would be nice to indicate
something like, '14.92 RC1' '14.91 Nightly 06 Jan 2011' but that's up to
your discretion!
This is where the text will appear in syslinux:

#3883: more meaningful error if module isn't found

Right now fedpkg fails with access denied message if there is not such
module:
{{{
$ fedpkg clone gtkmm30
R access for gtkmm30 DENIED to kalev
}}}
Would be nice to get a more meaningful error in that case, perhaps "module
not found".
Filing it in releng trac as the error is coming from gitolite, just being
passed along by fedpkg.
