Fedora Docs Translations FAD Report

April 23, 2019 / asamalik / 0 Comments

Last week Jean-Baptiste Holcroft and Adam Šamalík met in Strasbourg for Docs Translations mini-FAD in order to prototype translations support for the Fedora Docs website. And we did a lot of work! This post is a report from the event, a status report, and a brief plan for how to move forward.

Our goal was to make sure we’re both on the same page about how it’s all going to work, to do some coding and publish a functional prototype, and to write a set of requirements for a potential production deployment.

The event happened a co-working space Le Shadok and we were grateful for being able to use the spaces for free.

Stories from the amazing world of release-monitoring.org #4

The Future chamber was lit by hundreds of candles with strange symbols glowing on the walls. In the center of the chamber stood I, wearing the ceremonial robe and preparing for the task that lies before me.

Somebody opened the doors, I turned around to see, who that could be. “Oh, a pleasant surprise, traveler. Stand near the door and watch this, you will love it.” I focused back to my thoughts and added. “Today I will show you the future that is waiting for this realm, but first we need to see current situation to understand the changes.”

The darkness is slowly falling on my wizard tower, where I’m spending most of the time, when working on the new stuff in realm of the release-monitoring.org. But if you already arrived I could give you some of my time. You probably want to know what I’m working on. It’s not really a secret, but if you insist, I will tell you what happened in the realm in past weeks. So take a chair and hear my words.

Two shell functions to simplify Pagure pull request reviews

April 9, 2019 / Justin W. Flory / 0 Comments

A project maintainer of an active open source project will learn new git magic tricks. Every maintainer also has their own procedure of reviewing and testing pull requests. To do this, a maintainer may have an incantation of git commands to set things up exactly the way they want.

But there is no easy, one-click way of doing this. Some commands must be run a specific order to pull a fresh local copy of a pull request. While reviewing several pull requests in a week, I realized a set of commands I was using frequently and converted them into these shell functions:

Fedora Happiness Packets - project update

Integrating Fedora Messaging in Fedora Happiness Packets

April 5, 2019 / shraddhaag / 0 Comments

The Federated Message Bus, or Fedmsg, is used within the Fedora Infrastructure to easily connect services using ZeroMQ publishers and subscribers. This library is now deprecated in favour of Fedora Messaging.

Fedora Messaging provides a framework for declaring message schemas and a set of APIs to publish and consume messages to and from AMQP brokers.

In the project Fedora Happiness Packets, Fedmsg was set up to send messages to the Bus so that Fedora Badges could be awarded to the sender when they send a Happiness Packet, i.e an email worth of appreciation! My piece in this jigsaw was to migrate from Fedmsg to Fedora Messaging in this containerized project.
