I have no previous knowledge of ovirt packaging, who's doing it now? 15:20:26 I believe there are automated jobs, aswell as some manual parts by mburns and others, but mburns surely knows 15:20:52 Hi all 15:20:57 Sorry - was in a meeting 15:21:23 ewoud, eedri_: Probably means it's reinstalled, but I don't have email about it yet 15:21:44 back 15:22:04 Rydekull: ok, we can ask mburns about how to do it 15:22:12 packages are built by the maintainers and then sent to oschreib or mburns to be posted 15:22:49 any ETA? anything we can do to help? 15:23:00 oschreib: is working on engine packages 15:23:15 * ewoud tried last weekend but too many unpackaged dependencies 15:27:12 so we want to wait for ovirt 3.2 on EL6 before we start with foreman & puppet, migrations 15:27:41 Why Wait? 15:27:43 Just do it? 15:27:54 without packages? 15:28:04 We have source? We can build packages? What's the issue? 15:28:12 its still the same oVirt 15:28:41 I tried building, but too little experience with it 15:28:51 well, generally the idea of sysadmin work on our type of Linux is as preference to package 15:29:21 so it could be ok to proceed with a package we build, not having to wait for it to be in an official repo 15:29:39 if you have more experience I'd like to work together to build packages 15:30:48 If we are dead set on using packages, which seems quite ridiculous in my mind. We still have the maintainers that we can ask 15:31:08 "Hey, you're building this for Fedora, are you willing to build it for CentOS too? Or provide me with instructions on how to do it?" 15:31:20 I dont see why we should wait for that though 15:31:35 It'll be the same ovirt base regardless 15:31:42 quaid, You could try with the original password (it wasn't "password" or "ChangeMe" but it was something like that) 15:31:46 still, upgrading may be harder 15:32:02 Why? 15:32:06 The idea behind is the same as the idea behind using ovirt, we should know the issues our uses are going through so we can improve all the process 15:32:21 dneary: I'm sorting email looking for that, I may have thrown it away 15:32:26 and personally I have a policy of just using packages unless there's a very good reason 15:33:52 * dcaro agrees 15:34:11 especially since the maintainers are working on packages 15:34:14 So 15:34:22 How does that differ from anything I've said? 15:34:36 Rydekull: I'll pull up the Infra team mission that I think is relevant, but be aware that the idea of running production systems in a packagized Linux but putting in non-packaged code ... that doesn't sit well with a certain type of sysadmin goal 15:34:53 http://www.ovirt.org/Infrastructure#Mission_Statement 15:35:22 Rydekull: when it comes to a Fedora/EL-type distro, packaging is the accepted professional standard of a sysadmin, at this point 15:35:42 Yes, up until the point that there are no packages 15:35:45 in the future I can see other methods becoming standard, the way we're now using e.g. cartridges on OpenShift 15:35:55 Which is when you 1. Use source 2. Create Packages 15:36:00 Its still the same source, regardless 15:36:13 We're in above situation, since we seem reluctant of "third-party" packages 15:36:14 Rydekull: right, and we either use source and have machines that are out spec & arguably harder to run, or we package the code, then proceed 15:36:29 I'd vote for using third-party packages, if we can trust them 15:36:30 And which is why im asying, why dont we just get on with it and ask the maintainers if they can provide packages 15:36:38 or just create our own? 15:37:06 +1 to create our own 15:37:14 +1 to pushing maintainers to supply :) 15:37:28 I'd say, ask maintainers for each required package first 15:37:36 +1 ask mantainers first 15:37:39 then if we get a negative response, find another solution 15:37:51 Just stop debating it endlessly :-) 15:38:07 mburns said they're working on it, question is the timeframe 15:40:35 So we all agree, let's create a list of each package, ask each maintainer if they can provide CentOS packages, ok? 15:40:46 Who wants ^ assignment? 15:41:30 * quaid a 15:41:47 * quaid dropped off network, is back 15:42:33 quaid: is that a yes? 15:43:15 * quaid is busy on the last assignment of getting sshkeys back on the alterway01 host, sorry 15:43:35 Ok, fine, i'll contact them 15:43:40 oh, I don't know the list of packages to start - if we just make that list on arch@ and ask at the same time? 15:44:29 * ewoud wouldn't know where to start either 15:45:39 http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.2/rpm/Fedora/17/SRPMS/ <-- i'd start there 15:45:41 #action Rydekull to ask for EL6 packages 15:46:47 anything else to discuss? 15:47:08 Rydekull: do you have logins for openstack now? 15:47:14 Nope 15:47:35 euh, openshift 15:47:35 quaid is the only one with 'master' access (rhc and webpage) cause he is the 'owner' 15:48:01 * ewoud is having a bad day today 15:48:05 and my key wont work 15:48:36 Rydekull: I added it last week, still not working? 15:48:45 Rydekull, I made some space on our instance, which should have solved the issues short-term 15:48:47 quaid: no, that's why I sent a mail saying "it doesnt work" :-P 15:48:48 I don't know of a way to share web UI because it's a single account 15:48:53 Just before running out to my plane yesterday 15:48:54 ah, haven't seen that email, sorry 15:49:14 dneary: yeah, but my issue is getting in and trying to sort out the ovirtbot ticket :-) 15:49:25 Rydekull, Ah, right 15:49:41 dneary: and to help out in future issues, naturally 15:50:16 Rydekull: btw, do you know that we're not supposed to work directly on the host instance via ssh? 15:50:55 quaid: well, considering I need to reach its files, I dont see many other ways :-) 15:51:01 quaid: and test its connections 15:52:01 Rydekull: I think most stuff is available via git, although I forget about logs 15:52:18 same issue there, no pubkey 15:52:19 :-) 15:52:21 Rydekull: it's that the content in ssh is not canonical, so a new push to git can and will overwrite 15:52:34 can you try again? I just repasted your key in to the web UI this time 15:53:08 im using, 847edb45aea84198838f915be6faa066@wiki-ovirt.rhcloud.com 15:53:17 Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic). 15:54:45 dneary, server delivered, check your mailbox.
