Weekly Rawhide Snapshots

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

I was interested in creating rawhide snapshots of Fedora Desktop Live CD
similar to the recent Xfce rawhide images and Kevin Fenzi and I agreed
that instead of creating and posting the regular rawhide snapshots in a
ad-hoc manner, it would be useful if we could get some space in alt.fp.o
and run it a semi automated fashion as part of Fedora infrastructure. A
scripted instance of livecd-creator that does this would fit the bill, I
think. Comments?

I agree. ;) 

I think we could have the spin1 machine do nightly composes and check
whatever we like, but then once a week (whatever day we pick) take the
composes and upload them to alt to get QA/test input. 

I would hope that since they would be done internally, we could have
them branded. This might entail getting someone from QA or rel-eng to
do the composes or at least vet the process, but I think it's worth it.

I'm in, we just need to make sure the script does a 'git pull' before
generating the images (I flat forgot to do that the other day and it
took me far longer than it should have to figure out that's why
nothing was changing)

Other than expressing concerns for not duplicating my own failures,
this would be great! :)

I have scripts ready that do this sorta thing on a daily basis, based on 
Revisor, so maybe that's something you want to look at as well;

http://fedorahosted.org/revisor/browser/unity/scripts/respin.sh

Products show up at http://www.kanarip.com/revisor/ and 
http://kanarip.kicks-ass.org:6969/

Regrettably though, since this runs on my SOHO infrastructure, the 
torrents are not as fast as they could be ;-)

While the initial target for spin1 was not to distribute anything (but 
for us to be able to reproduce foo on Fedora Infra proper in the sense 
of troubleshooting and testing), if Fedora Infra is fine with limited 
forms of distribution then of course we should do it.

I believe Kevin has logged a ticket @infra to get spin1 upgraded to 
rawhide, and ricky was working on that immediately after. Kevin, do you 
have a ticket number or status?

Thanks,

Yes. It's already done. ;) 

I don't know what group has access to the machine, but I would be happy
to look at setting something up there or assisting someone to do so.

I think there's a group in FAS called sysadmin-spin, that's what you 
need to get access.
