#5215: Stage comps and spin-kickstarts during freezes

#5215: Stage comps and spin-kickstarts during freezes -----------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: adamwill | Owner: rel-eng@… Type: task | Status: new Milestone: Fedora 18 Alpha | Component: git Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | -----------------------------+------------------------ As noted on the F17 QA retrospective by me and Bruno Wolff: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_QA_Retrospective it's a problem that we use git master of both comps and spin-kickstarts for composes - not the latest packaged version - and both these git repos are not frozen during freezes. During the 17 cycle, we had a concrete example of a comps change during a freeze causing considerable trouble: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=807879 - pulling Boxes into comps during the Beta freeze made that issue a serious problem. For spin-kickstarts, the same kind of thing is possible, and we also have a release criterion requiring a spin-kickstarts package which matches the .ks files used for the compose to be present in the release repository; obviously, the lack of a git freeze makes this tricky to ensure. So we would strongly recommend, at minimum, a mechanism for freezing spin- kickstarts and comps at Alpha, Beta and Final freeze. Post-freeze changes could be made following the same blocker/NTH process used for other post- freeze changes. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5215> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

#5223: F18 TODO: automate torrent generation -----------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: ausil | Owner: rel-eng@… Type: task | Status: new Milestone: Fedora 18 Alpha | Component: koji Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | -----------------------------+------------------------ Torrent Releases Infrastructure SOP http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ is our master torrent server for Fedora distribution. It runs out of ServerBeach. Contact Information Owner: Fedora Infrastructure Team Contact: #fedora-admin, sysadmin-torrent group Location: ibiblio Servers: torrent.fedoraproject.org Purpose: Provides the torrent master server for Fedora distribution Torrent Release When you want to add a new torrent to the tracker at http://torrent.fedoraproject.org you need to take the following steps to have it listed correctly: 1. login to torrent.fedoraproject.org. If you are unable to do so please contact the fedora infrastructure group about access. This procedure requires membership in the torrentadmin group. 2. upload the files you want to add to the torrent to torrent.fedoraproject.org:/srv/torrent/new/$yourOrg/ 3. use sha1sum and verify the file you have uploaded matches the source 4. organize the files into subdirs (or not) as you would like 5. run /srv/torrent/new/maketorrent [file-or-dir-to-torrent] ([file-or-dir-to-torrent]) to generate a .torrent file or files 6. copy the .torrent file(s) to: /srv/torrent/www/torrents/$yourOrg/ 7. cd to /srv/torrent/torrent-generator/ or /srv/torrent/spins- generator/ (depending on if it is an official release or spins release) 8. add a .ini file in this directory for the content you'll be torrenting. we use fedora-torrent-ini.py from fedora releng git repo to generate it 9. mv all files from /srv/torrent/new/$yourOrg into /srv/torrent/btholding/ - this includes the files you uploaded as well as the .torrent files you've created. Your files will be linked on the website and available on the tracker after this. $yourOrg is one of fedora or spins this all needs to be setup to be done via a single script. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5223> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

#4985: Extend test image creation SOP to require notification of delays

#4985: Extend test image creation SOP to require notification of delays ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: adamwill | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Type: task | Status: new Milestone: | Component: koji Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Working through the F16 QA retrospective here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_QA_Retrospective One of the notes is: "jlaska - Alpha TC1 - Missed the Alpha-TC1 milestone by 1 week, little to no communication regarding status. With only two weeks Alpha ISO test time, losing 50% of time almost certainly results in a slip. See rel-eng ticket#4844 . None of the Alpha rel-eng release tickets have been filed at this time. adamw - perhaps releng image compose SOP should require updating of ticket with progress info, especially when image compose / delivery is delayed?" So: this ticket proposes that the releng 'Composing test images' SOP - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Composing_test_images - should be extended to require whoever is creating the images to post a comment on the image request ticket if the compose is delayed, explaining the reasons for the delay (so that any other interested party can attempt to contribute to resolving them) and giving a best estimate of an ETA if possible (so other groups can adjust their scheduling as best they can).

#4355: metadata for "grouped" files on master mirror

#4355: metadata for "grouped" files on master mirror ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: mdomsch | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Type: task | Status: new Milestone: | Component: other Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ This may be less of an issue now that we don't have the split CD set, but I would like it if rel-eng could produce a file into the master mirror tree for "groups" of files that should be a single consistent download set, such as a DVD and the checksum file, or the set of files that are together inside a single torrent. MirrorManager is growing the idea of a "file group", a single requestable entity that will return a metalink listing each of the files in the file group. The intent was to use it for the multi-CD download sets, but it's just as valuable for the DVD and checksum file, or other similar groups. But it needs to be a file (say, .fileset or something), in a directory that MM can find and use to build the FileGroups. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4355> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

I'm sharing bugs with my colleagues in RHEL and we'd like to have it also for Fedora. I suppose set up mailing list is also needed. This should be applied only for perl modules, where I am an owner of the package. Not only co-maintainer. The group perl-fedora-maint should include mmaslano, ppisar, psabata. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/3903> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

#5214: Setup koji tags and repo for Docs -----------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: crantila | Owner: rel-eng@… Type: task | Status: new Milestone: Fedora 18 Alpha | Component: koji Keywords: docs | Blocked By: Blocking: | -----------------------------+------------------------ 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! -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5214> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project
