Hi! There yet again was a serious misconfiguration on our one and only x86-{32,64} builder that was caused indirectly by the branching of Fedora 14 a week ago. That's the reason why there are some packages with the tag "fc15" in our rawhide repos, which are still targeting F14, as we haven't branched yet. It's should be fixed now; thx Nicolas for letting me know (and partly blame me, as I should have seen that earlier and checked things when the adjustments for the builder were discussed something like two weeks ago iirc) That IMHO is just another(¹) sign that our infrastructure team doesn't work well (if at all). I don't blame anyone, but we IMHO really need to do something about it. A full reboot / fresh start with new people seems way overdue to many. Are there any options on it? Or maybe anybody even willing to lead that effort? Cu knurd (¹) there were lots of it in the past years and months (not to branch when Fedora branches is another(²); that only one of our x86-{32,64} builders work in another); heck we never even managed to set up a dependency checker and our server infrastructure to me looks a lot like fragile hack that could stop to work at any time and might take weeks to repair (²) and partly the fault of the "Release Engineering for RPM Fusion", which basically still is inly me, desperate my announcement from a few months ago to reduce my contributions to RPM Fusion (or leave it completely). That needs fixing as well, but doing one step at a time might be better(³) (³) to be precise: the whole project and it's (currently close to non existing) government afaics needs a small restart afaics...

I've tried to get more involved a few times, and its never really managed to go anywhere. I'd like to do more than just provide a build host, and occasionally hop on and fix (or break) things on it, but the reality is that I probably don't have the time to do much more than that. That said, I'm just about ready to replace the vm I currently provide as a builder with real hardware. I've got a glut of atom 330 boxes right now, so I was about to roll out a dual-core atom 330 box with 4GB of RAM and 1.5TB of storage (2x 250G internal + 1TB e-sata) as a replacement for the vm. It should be capable of providing additional services, if desired. (I've got other slightly more powerful hardware that could be rolled out as well, but went with this system for power consumption considerations). -- Jarod Wilson jarod(a)wilsonet.com
