network time default, f23
by Chris Murphy
Short version: network time is not enabled in a default installation
of Fedora 23 Server, using Fedora-Server-netinst-i386-23_Beta_TC1.iso.
- Is this intended?
- What is the user expected to do? It's not obvious.
Long version:
chrony is not installed, meanwhile it's installed and the default on
workstation. Right off the bat it's confusing that server and
workstation will use different services for time synchronization.
ntp and ntpdate are installed, but both are disabled, and I don't even
know what ntpdate is.
systemd-timedated.service is masked.
systemd-timesyncd.service is disabled.
dbus-org.freedesktop.timedate1.service is enabled, which apparently
just points to
timedatex.service
Based on searching the journal, nothing is looking out to an ntp
server to set the date and time correctly. If I set the hardware clock
wrong (by a year) in firmware setup, it never gets corrected.
# timedatectl
Local time: Fri 2013-08-30 23:32:34 MDT
Universal time: Sat 2013-08-31 05:32:34 UTC
RTC time: Sat 2013-08-31 05:32:34
Time zone: America/Denver (MDT, -0600)
Network time on: no
NTP synchronized: no
RTC in local TZ: no
# systemctl enable ntpd
# systemctl start ntpd
Fixes this, but it seems like something should be enabled by default.

Agenda for Server SIG weekly meeting (2015-09-01)
by Stephen Gallagher
Welcome to September, folks!
We have the following items that need attention this week:
* Providing a list of blocking (and non-blocking) media
* Deciding on our NTP story for Fedora 23+
For the former, I'm going to propose the following so we can hopefully
just vote to approve and move on to the tougher topic:
== Blocking for F23 ==
* x86_64 Server DVD ISO
* x86_64 Server netinstall ISO
* i686 Server DVD ISO
* i686 Server netinstall ISO
* armv7hl (aka armhfp) sda disk image
== Blocking for F24 ==
* x86_64 Server DVD ISO
* x86_64 Server netinstall ISO
* armv7hl (aka
armhfp) sda disk image
I also propose that (as discussed in the weekly meeting on 2015-08-18), we will not produce i686 install media as part of the Server SIG output. If it gets produced as a side-effect of the releng process, it should not be shipped to end-users (in the sense of being shipped to mirrors or linked on the getfedora.org website).

Server deliverables for F23
by Jan Kurik
Hi Working Group,
currently we are missing list of release deliverables (blocking as
well as non-blocking) for Fedora releases. Some time ago there has
been an activity started in FESCo to fill this gap [1].
As part of this activity has been put together a Wiki page summarizing
all the deliverables we need, to have a Fedora release complete [2].
I would like to ask you (WG) to go through the section "Server" of the
Wiki page and put together the list of deliverables which is produced
by Server WG for Fedora 23.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Regards,
Jan
