app servers updated

[Toshio Kuratomi]

I've built and added to the fedora-infrastructure repo the following 
packages:

* fas-clients -- Contains a backported patch so we don't see deprecation 
warnings when run with the new python-fedora.
* fas -- Contains one backported patch that we're currently running on 
fas1 and fas2.
* python-sqlalchemy -- Major version upgrade.  from 0.3 => 0.4.  AFAIK 
this update only affects smolt and packagedb, both of which have been 
ported and tested with this release.
* fedora-packagedb -- Major changes to support SQLAlchemy 0.4 and to 
re-optimize some code paths for FAS2.  This release should be much 
faster for certain operations like viewing the firefox page or mass 
branching.
* python-fedora -- Major changes.  removed all FAS1 code.  Moved 
BaseClient and deprecated the old location.  Updated json.py for 
SQLAlchemy-0.4.  Added a kludge for bz_email handling.  Threaded 
jsonfasvisit so it contacts the fas server less often.

fas-clients, python-sqlalchemy, fedora-packagedb, and python-fedora have 
been installed on app2, app4, and app5.vpn.  These are our TurboGears 
app servers.  I haven't installed them on fas1 & fas2 or any of the 
other machines yet.  We can do that if we want or wait until after the 
change freeze.

*If there's any problems with the new packagedb or other TurboGears apps 
please contact me so I can look at fixing it or rolling back these 
changes before the change freeze.  (abadger1999 on freenode)*

The next version of python-fedora will likely have some incompatible 
changes to the interface between BaseClient and the Server.  Those 
changes will make error handling between the Server and Clients better 
and standardize some of the things that we currently do in an ad hoc 
fashion but will require modifications of all the servers that talk to 
clients in order to work.

I'll let people know when I have a new version of BaseClient ready to 
test against.  The specification from the server side view is here::
