So it looks like Red Hat's build system may not be ready in time for our December deadline for 7.3 EOLd. That means we need to launch with something else. Perhaps we can use mach? Has anybody had experience with mach, and whether or not we could use it temporarily until the real build system gets put into place? The host OS will be RHEL 3 AS for amd64 (dual opteron system). I think I'm just going to load it up with 4x 250gig SATA drives, in a raid 10 array, for 500gigs of space initially. That should be plenty of space to hold the build systems and build for 4~ trees (7.3/9, and 2x FC releases), as well as seed the mirrors. Speaking of mirrors, it seems that our content isn't welcome on Red Hat ftp servers, but they are making the directory structure friendly for our content to be on other mirrors and require very little config changes. So I need to start collecting information on folks that will be willing to mirror our content, yumified. Have any of you experience working with Red Hat's mirror system, something that we can adopt for our schtuff? Lastly, we'll need a Bugzilla system. Probably our own to start with, maybe merged down the road with Fedora's. I'd like to use Red Hat's pgsql'd version of bugzilla, but it's woefully lacking in documentation. Anybody got any experience with that? I'd like to launch our server and start handing out builder logins on it, and start getting some of the kinks worked out with test packages by the end of November. That way we should be ready for December when 7.3 goes done. Well, I can't think of too much else right now, so there. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraLegacy) Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
