Highlights of the week

Infrastructure & Release Engineering

Goal of this Initiative

Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work.
It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors, mass branching, new namespaces etc.).
The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might take on.

Docs

Update

Fedora Infra

  • Move old FMN to F38
  • Server updates/reboots
  • New koji theme deployed on koji.stg.fedoraproject.org
  • Bunch of machines upgraded to f38: all builders, koji hubs, proxies, kojipkgs
  • Mass update/reboot cycle over all machines completed. Some stability issues with rhel8.8 kernel still being investigated. (db01 outage due to that)
  • Setup smtp auth for flock call for papers (and copr machines too)
  • Retired old old space in rdu2 to be replaced by an internal vm.

CentOS Infra including CentOS CI

Release Engineering

EPEL

Goal of this initiative

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high-quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL).

EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more.

Updates

  • Carl presenting “RPM Workshop” at Red Hat Summit.
  • Started coordination for “State of EPEL” presentation for the Release Party
  • Working on EPEL docs overhaul

Community Design

Goal of this initiative

CPE has few members that are working as part of Community Design Team. This team is working on anything related to design in Fedora Community.

Updates

  • Design Docs transfer from Wiki underway.
  • Creative Freedom Summit
    • Art Challenge organization in progress.
    • Preparing talk for release party.
  • TikTok:

DNF mirrors-countme improvement

Goal of this initiative

This initiative is working on enhancing current DNF mirrors-countme script, which is used to provide statistics about number of Fedora installations on machines. This script has few bottlenecks that will be addressed as part of this intiative.
ARC investigation

Updates

  • Start poking at individual IP statistics
  • More cleanup work (remove unused code, split up code along topical boundaries, make function signatures less opaque)
  • Resume work on test coverage

Wrapping up the Fedora Websites and Apps Community Initiative: Part IV

This is the fourth post in a series covering details about the journey of the Fedora Websites and Apps community Initiative, those who were involved in making it a grand success, and what lies ahead down the road for the team. If you have not already, read the previous post before delving into this one.

Promising community diversification

By October 2022, the experiment of me stepping away to assess the team’s strength began to show promising results. Niko Dunk, Jefferson Oliviera, Deepesh Nair, and many others, joined the development efforts. Likewise, Madeline Peck, Jess Chitas, Dawn Desmarais, and numerous others contributed to the design aspects. Hari Rana also participated in testing, alongside others who were already involved. I am immensely grateful to Ashlyn Knox, Francois Andrieu, and Niko Dunk for their effective collaboration with members from Fedora Infrastructure, Fedora Design, Fedora Marketing, and other teams. Together, they gathered requirements and provided valuable feedback. This development initiative commenced on GitLab itself, making it the first project to be entirely developed there. The team utilized planning tools such as epics, stories, issues, and timelines. In addition to Fedora Websites 3.0, we began collecting testimonials to gauge community interest in maintaining Fedora Badges.
