Guys,
     I know I missed this meeting. But just to let you guys know ahead 
of time; I'm going to explain why I won't be /that /active in the next 
few months. The following things will take up most of my time:

   1. I'm getting married soon (yay!)
   2. I'm going back to college
   3. I'm working on the days that I'm not in college.


I hope you guys can understand. I'm still going to try my best to help 
out as much as I can.

> 19:04:22<nirik>  we finally are getting all out new machines on line in phx2.
> 19:04:30 * abadger1999 is finally making tie to deploy raffle
> 19:04:41<nirik>  abadger1999: cool.
> 19:05:01<nirik>  once we have new machines installed and added to monitoring, we can:
> 19:05:39<nirik>  look at whats on xen03/05/09/15 and migrate those things to (hopefully) new rhel6 instances on the new virthosts.
> 19:05:52<nirik>  those 4 machines are out of warentee at the end of next month.
> 19:06:22<nirik>  also, will look at migrating more rel-eng stuff to rhel6
> 19:06:49<nirik>  we still need community to work to move to rhel6 app servers.
> 19:06:49 * skvidal looks at virthost-lists.out and wonders what broke
> 19:07:11 * skvidal runs vmdiff
> 19:07:13<lmacken>  nirik: yeah, i'm working on the whole tg2/moksha/fedoracommunity on RHEL6 thing...
> 19:07:39<nirik>  lmacken: yeah, thanks for that. ;)
> 19:08:04 * lmacken just deployed a new fedoracommunity bugfix release... hopefully no more log spamming too :)
> 19:08:10<nirik>  hurray
> 19:08:13<skvidal>  lmacken: cool
> 19:08:47<nirik>  I have some random projects on my todo list anyone else is welcome to take and run with:
> 19:09:11<nirik>  * setup arpwatch on dhcp01/noc01, so we can notice if something new plugs into our networks in phx2.
> 19:09:26<nirik>  * add ipv6 to noc02 and get ipv6 monitoring working. ;)
> 19:09:45<nirik>  * more bcfg2 work in qa
> 19:10:09<nirik>  * get clamav filter working with mailman
> 19:10:12<skvidal>  * setup and config sec on log02 for specific log event alert
> 19:10:23<lmacken>  arpwatch sounds interesting. would it trigger a nagios alert or something?
> 19:10:30<nirik>  lmacken: it does email by default.
> 19:10:41 * lmacken runs arpon --static on all of his machines to force static arp tables (to mitigate mitm)
> 19:10:44 * rfelsburg will brb
> 19:10:52 * skvidal does not need a page about a new mac :)
> 19:10:56<nirik>  mails you the mac address and a thing looking it up to see what vendor, etc.
> 19:11:04<nirik>  it should be rare.
> 19:11:36<tibbs>  I use arpwatch here and find it useful.
> 19:11:49<skvidal>  * plan combining hosted01's mailing lists with collab1's lists
> 19:11:51 * nirik uses it at home.
> 19:12:01<skvidal>  tibbs: it is useful - not sure we need to stow stuff into nagios for it, though
> 19:12:09<skvidal>  an email or even just a log notice about it sshould be sufficient
> 19:12:32<nirik>  On the hosted/collab front, I am still waiting to hear back from serverbeach... I wonder if they got confused about our status as donated or something.
> 19:12:39 * nirik will followup on that.
> 19:13:09<skvidal>  nirik: wouldn't shock me :)
> 19:13:48<nirik>  so the xen move stuff will entail some outage... since db02 is in there... I'll try and come up with a schedule/plan.
> 19:14:10<nirik>  anyhow, any other upcoming plans? any releases for pkgdb/other apps?
> 19:14:30<lmacken>  i'll probably do a bodhi bugfix release tomorrow
> 19:14:40<abadger1999>  We might hotfix some pkgdb stuff before next freeze but we're not going to fit a new release in.
> 19:15:06<abadger1999>  I'm waiting with elections until we get tg2 stack fixed for rhel6 and rhel6 app servers.
> 19:15:09<nirik>  ok.
> 19:15:30<abadger1999>  Since it'll be a tg2 port.
> 19:15:31<nirik>  lmacken: will that fix the override needs commit on rawhide thing?
> 19:15:54<lmacken>  nirik: yes, it will
> 19:15:59<nirik>  excellent.
> 19:16:12<lmacken>  that patch isn't written yet, but I'll make sure to get it done before the release. should be simple.
> 19:16:32<nirik>  so it should just need commit on that branch or provenpackager?
> 19:16:59 * rfelsburg back
> 19:17:11<lmacken>  nirik: yep. that logic is already written for the updates portion of bodhi, so I just need to copy/paste/tweak
> 19:17:23<nirik>  cool.
> 19:17:58<skvidal>  the virthost-lists output is fixed
> 19:18:08<skvidal>  and the bug causing it ot be mostly empty is corrected
> 19:18:15<skvidal>  (sorry for the interruption)
> 19:18:16<nirik>  oh, I am also going to make the log02 changes I posted to the list a while back... unless folks have objections? basically allow apprentice and make the logs readable to apprentice...

> 19:19:45 * nirik is going to look at cleaning out the meeting tagged tickets.
> 19:19:56<nirik>  just put it on those ones we really do want to talk about at meetings.
> 19:20:45 * nirik listens to the crickets.
> 19:20:50<nirik>  #topic Open Floor
> 19:20:57<nirik>  Anyone have items for open floor?
> 19:22:04<skvidal>  anyone want to work on the func2nagios stuff?
> 19:22:27<skvidal>  it's not hard to get started and it would mean never having to ask for the basic host entry for just seeing if the box is running, etc
> 19:22:59<rfelsburg>  Since this has been circulating for the last week or so give or take, are we doing anything to mitigate the range header problem in apache?
> 19:23:23<skvidal>  rfelsburg: I suspect wait for the patch
> 19:23:32<nirik>  skvidal: might file a ticket on it and we can point people to it?
> 19:23:34<rfelsburg>  skvidal: is that puppet? the func2nagios stuff
> 19:23:43<skvidal>  rfelsburg: is it puppet?
> 19:23:50<nirik>  rfelsburg: yes, waiting for the fix. None of the workarounds are that good.
> 19:24:00<rfelsburg>  nirik: thanks.
> 19:24:11<skvidal>  rfelsburg: no - func2nagios - take list of hosts from func - do some magic to them, ask them for listening ports, dump out host entries and some basic service entries for them
> 19:24:11<rfelsburg>  skvidal: is the func2nagios stuff puppet related?
> 19:24:27<rfelsburg>  skvidal: gotcha, sorry no experience with that or i would
> 19:24:39<skvidal>  rfelsburg: it is mainly b/c maintianing simple, common, repeptive host entries in puppet is irritating
> 19:25:21<rfelsburg>  skvidal: makes sense.
> 19:25:25<nirik>  oh, also:
> 19:26:01<nirik>  #info ask fedora RFR: I am going to see if I can help mether get an initial cut added to puppet for staging. It doesn't look too hard to puppetize
> 19:26:21<nirik>  #info paste RFR: need to ask herlo status. He was fixing bugs in the epel package
> 19:27:00<nirik>  ok, if nothing else, we can call it a short meeting and get back to infraing.
> 19:27:04<abadger1999>  There's been some changes to hosted that people should be aware of
> 19:27:13<nirik>  oh yes, might be good to note those...
> 19:27:47<abadger1999>  I changed the hosted restricted ssh command script in the past week for a few issues
> 19:27:55<abadger1999>  Added ability to upload to releases via rsync
> 19:28:00<abadger1999>  Removed monotone support
> 19:28:39<skvidal>  yay
> 19:28:49<skvidal>  can we remove svn, hg and bzr support too?
> 19:28:53 * skvidal watches abadger1999 twitch
> 19:28:53<nirik>  abadger1999: did you see the followup about timestamps with rsync?
> 19:28:54<abadger1999>  And did my best to lock down bzr and hg -- before they were able to write to the user's ome dir (and thus overwrite authorized_keys and thus get them an ssh shell instead of being locked into only running SCM commands)
> 19:29:14<abadger1999>  nirik: I did... but I don't know what we'd need to do there.
> 19:29:17<skvidal>  abadger1999: good job
> 19:29:24<abadger1999>  nirik: I'm only limiting the directory paths in the script.
> 19:29:27<nirik>  yeah, I'm not sure if thats possible if you aren't root.
> 19:29:37<nirik>  but perhaps it should be. Will look.
> 19:30:06<abadger1999>  nirik: Thanks.  I can help with coding.. but I don't know what rsync options (if they exist) we'd need to inject.
> 19:31:19<nirik>  we don't really have any way to announce things to hosted people do we?
> 19:31:56<skvidal>  nirik: I guess we can email every account on the machine
> 19:31:59<abadger1999>  anyhow.. If there's some sort of authenticated, scm-specific issue in the next week, let me know as it might be the updated script.
> 19:32:05<nirik>  I thought once about: make a fedorahosted-announce list, invite all project owners to it. Would that be viable?
> 19:33:06<nirik>  it would be nice to have a place to announce stuff, but allow them to opt into that spamming. ;)
> 19:33:29<skvidal>  nirik: how much just make a list of all of them on-the-fly
> 19:33:38<skvidal>  and only enable the list when we need it
> 19:34:12<nirik>  I suppose. I bet we get people telling us they don't care... but that could work.
> 19:34:20<nirik>  ie, please remove me from your list.
> 19:34:53<nirik>  we can work out the details out of band...
> 19:35:13<nirik>  in addition to this rsync addition, I'd like to be able to announce the new hosted machine, migration, etc.
> 19:35:38<skvidal>  nirik: if they want to be removed from the list then they can stop using hosted
> 19:35:40<skvidal>  :)
> 19:35:50<nirik>  indeed.
> 19:35:52<skvidal>  nirik: but as long as the list defaults to 'off' when not in use
> 19:35:57<skvidal>  it's not like it will be a spam sync
> 19:36:01<nirik>  true.
> 19:36:02<skvidal>  I dunno
> 19:36:04<skvidal>  that might be silly
> 19:36:11 * skvidal doesn't really have a dog in the fight much
> 19:36:38<nirik>  ok, any other items? or shall we call it a meeting?
> 19:37:26<nirik>  ok. Thanks for coming everyone!
