I can point you at sysadmin stuff after the meeting over in #fedora-admin... most of our app developer types are at pycon this week, but they hang out in #fedora-apps. 19:07:18 <nirik> suehle: yeah, we can move next week if you want us too... whatever works. ;) 19:07:52 <nirik> #topic Applications status / discussion 19:07:59 <nirik> any app/devel news this week? 19:08:08 <nirik> (again, many folks are at pycon...) 19:08:40 <relrod> threebean started working on a selenium test suite for our staging infra, it's pretty neat 19:08:42 <relrod> https://github.com/fedora-infra/rube 19:08:43 <nirik> I've been working a bit on getting blockerbugs app moved into staging. 19:09:07 <nirik> but it needs db setup, and proxy setup and I've not had time to poke at it much 19:09:24 <pingou> I've pushed to github a new branch for fedora-tagger, basically the basis for fedora-tagger v2.0 19:09:51 <nirik> cool. 19:09:57 <pingou> it comes with its own API (that's what is there atm), handles tagging and rating, change a little bit the db scheme 19:10:12 <nirik> #info selenium test suite for stg hosts: https://github.com/fedora-infra/rube 19:10:15 <pingou> threebean wants to port the UI to it soonish 19:10:19 <nirik> #info blockbugs moving into staging 19:10:29 <nirik> #info new fedora-tagger v2.0 work starting. 19:10:39 <nirik> cool. 19:10:40 <pingou> and the idea would be to integrate this with the gnome-app store that rhughsie is working on 19:10:56 <nirik> ok. 19:11:05 * nirik keeps meaning to read up on that, but hasn't yet 19:11:05 <pingou> otherwise, more copr, more pkgdb2, a surprise for next week and fedocal is in stg :) 19:11:18 <skvidal> pingou: wait 19:11:20 <skvidal> hold on 19:11:22 <skvidal> a surprise? 19:11:25 <pingou> yes :) 19:11:29 * skvidal dislikes surprises 19:11:50 <pingou> it's kinda ready for a 1.0 but I'm waiting for threebean to be there to reveal it :) 19:11:55 <nirik> a good surprise I hope. ;) 19:12:03 <pingou> I don't think you will dislike it :) 19:12:22 <pingou> (well, I certainly hope so at least!) 19:12:23 <relrod> that's what they always say. ;) 19:12:37 <skvidal> yes... 19:12:39 <skvidal> I see 19:12:40 <pingou> suspens... :) 19:13:04 <skvidal> okay moving along 19:13:06 <nirik> relrod: random memory... what happened to that php auth thing we were going to try and use for wiki and gallery? did we just decide to look at moving to openid ? 19:13:24 * nirik feels bad we haven't gotten anything moving with gallery. 19:13:46 <skvidal> what is gallery _for_ again? 19:13:55 <relrod> nirik: Well I haven't done much with it recently (I might move it to the fedora-infra org and pick back up on it again) - but if we want to look at doing openid for Gallery instead, that's fine too 19:13:59 <nirik> pics at events. 19:14:04 <nirik> suehle and spot wanted it. 19:14:06 <skvidal> nirik: ah 19:14:26 <nirik> If we can, that might move us forward quicker and also just be nicer. 19:14:48 * nirik doesn't know the state of openid for wiki / gallery, but we can look. 19:15:09 <nirik> ok, any other application/devel news? 19:15:13 <relrod> nirik: There's no maintained/decent openid thing for Gallery, afaik - we can probably dep on another openid php library and write whatever it needs to link that library to gallery. 19:15:22 <nirik> ok. 19:15:31 <nirik> hopefully that wouldn't be _too_ much work 19:15:37 <relrod> indeed 19:15:39 <biker> what about using Persona? 19:15:51 <relrod> hah, that was just mentioned in -noc a few hours ago 19:15:56 <pingou> biker: w/ fas account ? 19:16:04 <biker> pingou, .fas rugebiker 19:16:06 <nirik> biker: we are looking into it... 19:16:21 <biker> .fas rugebiker 19:16:22 <nirik> biker: puiterwijk thinks it might be not too hard to add it... 19:16:23 <zodbot> biker: rugebiker 'Ruben Guerra Marin' <rguerra.marin@xxxxxxxxx> 19:16:45 <pingou> I don't follow ther 19:16:47 <pingou> +E 19:16:59 <nirik> pingou: mozilla is pushing a web auth thing called 'persona' 19:17:10 <nirik> we may be able to add support for it to our fas-openid... 19:17:21 <biker> pingou, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/persona/ 19:17:23 <puiterwijk> nirik: fedora-idprovider ;) 19:17:39 <nirik> sorry, another similar service anyhow. ;) 19:17:43 <pingou> I know what is personna, but then it's no longer linked to FAS, no? 19:17:50 <puiterwijk> actually the same, but renamed :) 19:17:51 <biker> for what i have read, persona is going more serious than openid 19:18:22 <skvidal> 'more serious'? 19:18:24 <pingou> or do we want to run our own persona server and link it to FAS ? 19:18:25 * nirik shrugs. I don't know if it will take off, but if we can easily provide support for it, it might be handy for those sites that add support for it. 19:18:28 * skvidal has no idea what that means in this context 19:18:45 <nirik> pingou: yes, a provider, like our fas-openid provides openid based on fas 19:18:53 <pingou> ok 19:19:00 <pingou> now I get it :) 19:19:06 <biker> oo,., i dont know if we can make like our own persona server 19:19:07 <skvidal> lwn had an article on it today 19:19:07 <nirik> "publisher" I guess they call it 19:19:21 <skvidal> biker: that's the whole point 19:19:33 * nirik nods. 19:19:36 <pingou> +1 19:19:48 <skvidal> so we can use apps using persona for auth 19:19:59 <skvidal> it's why we have an openid provider 19:20:01 <nirik> so, the entire idea is that we provide a personal publisher, so you can login to any persona enabled site by using your @fedoraproject.org address. 19:20:04 <pingou> like hypertitty :) 19:20:24 <biker> sweet (: 19:20:27 <nirik> pingou: yep. 19:20:31 <pingou> your @fedoraproject.org address and your FAS password 19:20:38 <nirik> right. 19:20:53 <skvidal> pingou: s/ti/ki/ 19:21:02 <pingou> skvidal: indeed 19:21:02 <nirik> ok, shall we move on to exciting sysadmin news ? 19:21:08 <nirik> #topic Sysadmin status / discussion 19:21:09 <skvidal> oh yes, lets 19:21:20 <nirik> so, the fun has been fedorahosted.org this week. 19:21:29 <skvidal> 'the fun' 19:21:47 <skvidal> I 'think' I will 'talk' in 'quotes' for the rest of the 'meeting' 19:21:48 <nirik> basically it's been having load issues and isn't happy. 19:21:53 <nirik> 'yes' 19:22:07 * nirik hears skvidal talking like william shatner. 19:22:09 <pingou> skvidal: just """ now and close them at the end ;) 19:22:21 <nirik> anyhow, we have done some things to get the load back down to usable. 19:22:22 <skvidal> but I need ironic emphasis 19:22:31 <nirik> it's not great, but it should be usable right now. 19:22:40 <skvidal> nirik: it'sa darn-sight better than it was 19:22:48 <skvidal> so here's what we did 19:22:58 <skvidal> we look in gluster volume top hosted read|write|etc 19:23:00 <nirik> we are syncing all the data off it, then are going to have an outage in the next few days to move it to using ext4 directly without gluster. 19:23:17 <skvidal> oh sure - if you want to say it all quickly :) 19:23:24 <pingou> splitting ? 19:23:47 <skvidal> pingou: ? 19:23:48 <skvidal> what do you mean? 19:24:13 <pingou> do we take advantage of this and start splitting some of the project to another instance? 19:24:22 <nirik> pingou: yeah, thats the next part. 19:24:25 <skvidal> so that brings up the PLANS 19:24:28 <skvidal> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_FedoraHosted_Version2_Notes 19:25:04 <nirik> ideally the idea is that we get things seutp so we can split things by project. 19:25:15 <nirik> and have project1 and project2 on different machines, or the same... 19:25:28 <nirik> it's going to take some work to get there, but I think it's a good thing to do. 19:25:52 <skvidal> nirik: what about your other suggestion? 19:26:16 <nirik> Not sure. My other suggestion was more short term: just make a massive single instance and move everything to it. 19:26:24 <nirik> that doesn't help us scale at all 19:26:34 <nirik> but it would be simple, no changes... 19:26:48 <nirik> also, it would mean a spof for hosted. 19:26:56 <nirik> (which to be fair we currently have now too) 19:27:37 <nirik> I guess I'd like to try and finish the short term stuff and look at the list and then decide next week or so what we want to do 19:28:22 <nirik> thoughts? rants? 19:28:39 <skvidal> nirik: so I have a fear 19:28:46 <skvidal> on both things 19:29:08 <pingou> thought and rant ? 19:29:10 <skvidal> 1. if we don't move something around and stabilize it that next week we will have a NEW fire and all-hands on that 19:29:33 <nirik> well, I am hoping moving to the raw storage will help it a lot... 19:29:40 <skvidal> 2. that we're not changing things ENOUGH 19:29:41 <nirik> but I could be wrong. 19:29:42 <skvidal> in the v2 19:29:59 <pingou> skvidal: are you thinking cloud? 19:30:04 <nirik> yeah, that could be true. 19:30:09 <skvidal> pingou: no 19:30:14 <skvidal> pingou: I was actually thinking gitolite 19:30:18 <skvidal> or something like it 19:30:28 <skvidal> right now for commits we have local shell accounts 19:30:33 <skvidal> and normal unix groups 19:30:42 <skvidal> and that doesn't scale very well.. 19:30:45 <pingou> oh, I thought we were using gitolite 19:30:46 <nirik> One thing is that we have been approaching it I think (or at least I have) more from a 'this is what we have, how do we safely migrate this to split it out' instead of 'hey, how would I setup to host 100 git projects with trac' 19:31:16 <skvidal> but nirik made a good a point that we're not seeing a lot of new projects being added at hosted in the recent past 19:31:22 <nirik> yeah, our ssh wrapper is... arcane. 19:31:34 <nirik> gitolite would be much much much better 19:31:46 <skvidal> nirik: so... that's fair - my argument was that if we break things out to project.fh.o - that we can try new things on new projects 19:31:49 <skvidal> nirik: or on test projects 19:31:54 <skvidal> w/o ripping up a lot of the infra 19:32:14 <skvidal> so our ssh wrapper exists afaict 19:32:18 <skvidal> b/c we support non-git repos 19:32:25 <skvidal> svn, bzr, hg 19:32:27 <nirik> right. and to be fair we wanted to do this for a long time, but we got it working 'good enough' that we put it lower pri, and... never got to it. ;) 19:32:46 <nirik> also true... 19:33:04 <pingou> as a side note, we convinced our only bzr user to move away from bzr at the last FUDCon :) 19:33:13 <skvidal> pingou: there are still remaining projects 19:33:22 <skvidal> pingou: notably only to move him to github :) 19:33:41 <pingou> skvidal: yes, still not sure how I feel about that part :s 19:33:51 <skvidal> anyway - that's immaterial 19:33:57 <skvidal> we have a number of svn and hg repos, too 19:34:01 <skvidal> some of them active 19:34:09 <nirik> so, I dunno... I guess I'd like more time to ponder on it... there doesn't seem to be a clear winner in my mind. 19:34:11 <skvidal> though, to be fair, the hg repo looks like a project graveyard 19:34:20 <skvidal> nirik: what do you mean clear-winner? 19:34:26 <skvidal> nirik: winner in which discussion? 19:35:07 <skvidal> nirik: so - we do have the scm-named CNAMES - so we can always walk away from the ssh-wrapper that way 19:35:17 <nirik> well, between: just do enough to split projects but otherwise keep setup, or just make a bigger one and leave things exactly the same, or put more work in it and do gitolite, etc. 19:35:44 <skvidal> nirik: and to be fair - that may be the simplest way to break these up git.fedorahosted.org (one big instance) and others.fedorahosted.org (other instance -not-so-big) 19:35:55 <nirik> yeah, thats an option too. 19:36:16 <skvidal> nirik: so I really do think that if we don't change things NOW we'll get it 'working' and we will never have the time to go back to it 19:36:18 <skvidal> EVER 19:36:23 <nirik> then we could be more flexable on the git one. 19:36:23 <skvidal> it's not like we have any spare hours 19:36:31 <nirik> yep. That is very true. 19:36:49 <nirik> on the other hand, we do have lots of things to work on, so how much work on this is important... 19:36:49 <skvidal> and we still need to COMPLETE the clouds 19:36:58 <skvidal> nirik: agreed 19:36:58 <nirik> yeah 19:37:23 <skvidal> nirik: if you want to get this moving and re-approach it later that's fine 19:37:30 <skvidal> nirik: but make the call one way or the other 19:38:02 <nirik> sure. I'd just like to ponder on it possibly over weekend... been fighting the fire enough to not have had time to think about the big picture 19:38:19 <skvidal> fair enough 19:38:43 <nirik> and hopefully it will be stable enough to do that. ;) 19:39:20 <nirik> ok, any other sysadminy news? 19:39:41 <nirik> #topic Private Cloud status update / discussion 19:39:52 <nirik> I think we have done nothing really cloud wise this week. ;) 19:39:59 <nirik> see above hosted doom. 19:40:13 <nirik> #topic Upcoming Tasks/Items 19:40:25 <nirik> #info 2013-03-19 to 2013-03-26 - koji update 19:40:25 <nirik> #info 2013-03-29 - spring holiday. 19:40:25 <nirik> #info 2013-04-02 to 2013-04-16 ALPHA infrastructure freeze 19:40:25 <nirik> #info 2013-04-15 - remove legacy-openid 19:40:26 <nirik> #info 2013-04-16 F19 alpha release 19:40:27 <nirik> #info 2013-05-07 to 2013-05-21 BETA infrastructure freeze 19:40:28 <nirik> #info 2013-05-21 F19 beta release 19:40:30 <nirik> #info 2013-05-31 end of 1st quarter 19:40:32 <nirik> #info 2013-06-11 to 2013-06-25 FINAL infrastructure freeze. 19:40:33 <nirik> #info 2013-06-25 F19 FINAL release 19:40:36 <nirik> anything anyone wants to schedule or note? 19:41:01 <biker> i wanna say something on the open floor (if there is one) :P 19:41:07 <nirik> yep... coming up. ;) 19:41:12 <nirik> #topic Open Floor 19:41:16 <nirik> go ahead. ;) 19:41:17 <pingou> 2013-06-30 pingou's end of work 19:41:20 <biker> hehe thanks :P 19:41:33 <nirik> pingou: ? 19:41:39 <biker> well ive been a fedora ambassador since last year,., but im also a student,., and i would like to participate on the google summer of code 19:41:55 <biker> and it would be great to help in the fedora infrastructure (: 19:42:01 <pingou> nirik: hopefully at that time I'll have my thesis submitted and I can start actually working 19:42:10 <nirik> pingou: ah ha.
