[maven] Mirroring maven repositories for oVirt
by Eyal Edri 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Since we all know that compiling oVirt on fedora for the first time downloads a very large amount of jars... We need to think about mirroring the maven repositories we're using. There are a few advantages for that: * closer and faster servers * better control over the servers, meaning if the original repos are down, ours can still be online. * there is a chance we can be temporarily blocked if too many d/l are bring done. (or if some user d/l the entire repo using wget for e.g.) here is info about mirroring from the maven site: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html Eyal Edri.

Alias /releases/ /var/www/html/releases/ Alias /releases /var/www/html/releases That seems to have solved the directory traversal problem.

repo setup [RFC]
by Karsten 'quaid' Wade 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So the requests I have received or heard so far around "providing package and tarball download locations" are: 1. ftp.ovirt.org as location with packages for various distros as well as binary and source tarballs. 2. Yum repository for the Fedora packages being worked on, until they get in to Fedora. 3. Location for different distros package management tools to find packages. 4. Centrally maintained details (examples) of the files used for different package management needs, e.g. files for /etc/yum.repos.do/ etc. Items 2 & 3 are essentially the same, but I wanted to call out the Yum repository since it's a top priority to happen this week. :) Here are my proposals for this: A. We have a neutral package repository URL base of ovirt.org/repo. B. The same directory tree can host .zip and tarballs. C. We setup ftp.ovirt.org to serve FTP and HTTP of the /repo directory as the DocumentRoot for ftp.ovirt.org. Any thoughts? - - Karsten http://ovirt.org/wiki/Yum_repo_file # Place this file in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory [ovirt] name=Builds of the oVirt project baseurl=http://ovirt.org/repo/fedora-$releasever/$basearch/ enabled=1 skip_if_unavailable=1 gpgcheck=0 [ovirt-source] name=Builds of the oVirt project - Source baseurl=http://ovirt.org/repo/fedora-$releasever/$basearch/SRPMS enabled=0 skip_if_unavailable=1 gpgcheck=0 - -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Architect team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFOwsyA2ZIOBq0ODEERAop6AKCH1+gtRh4P+d6xch59EH2eoQSVJgCdFUQC b3yLPRVNTM/FjScNHCSIxDs= =fa0q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

how we do things
by Karsten 'quaid' Wade 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ofer - I set up your sshkey and sudo access, as per this procedure: http://ovirt.org/wiki/Adding_a_new_system_administrator_to_a_host The real question is, how do we make sure that we are working in the same direction? Documenting everything we do is one way. Version controlling the configuration files will help with rollback & learning we have done each time. Talking with Apache infra folk earlier, I learned about 'ckl': https://www.apache.org/dev/ckl.html It is a wrapper for your shell session; when you close the session, the contents are written to a database with a user-written log message of what and why the work was done. This in then queued for other admins to review the work. What is a good-enough way to get started that will take us somewhere sane? - - Karsten - -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Architect team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFOw0q92ZIOBq0ODEERAqryAJ0T0uu9SXo+h9hBHzzR3px6AqBV5wCfclli JhR9OnD6pVlAUd3fVsGE/SI= =TQ6c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

version controlling our configurations
by Karsten 'quaid' Wade 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just like I would be nervous without backup, I'm nervous that our configuration files are not (yet) under version control. I'd prefer that we use e.g. Puppet or Chef (I'd like to try Puppet because of the knowledge around me, but am flexible if you are a Chef du jour), but until we get to that, I had a quick-fix idea. Because /etc contains a few passwords, I don't want to put this on any open systems, and we don't have that many systems (yet) to have a dedicated backup/config cluster (or whatever is the solution there.) What if we use a local git repo on linode01.ovirt.org, then do a checkout on each of the other hosts so root can locally update the repository and push to the master on linode01? Trusted admins can have a clone of the repository locally (on their encrypted partitions, natch.) Good? Bad? Have a better solution for now? - - Karsten - -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Architect team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFOw0Na2ZIOBq0ODEERArXNAJwK7l3yeV2HWwfDKyUNWIx4o1HlwQCg1vbN GONkwgIYlgBuCvx7aLr/oTg= =thSr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Mailing list request
by Mike Burns 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

I'm not sure this is the right place, but it seems like the logical place to me. I need a node-patches@ mailing list for the node project. Any additional steps I need to take to get this done? Thanks Mike
