[Fedora-legacy-list] System

[Jesse Keating]

So it looks like Red Hat's build system may not be ready in time for our 
December deadline for 7.3 EOLd.  That means we need to launch with 
something else.  Perhaps we can use mach?  Has anybody had experience 
with mach, and whether or not we could use it temporarily until the 
real build system gets put into place?  The host OS will be RHEL 3 AS 
for amd64 (dual opteron system).  I think I'm just going to load it up 
with 4x 250gig SATA drives, in a raid 10 array, for 500gigs of space 
initially.  That should be plenty of space to hold the build systems 
and build for 4~ trees (7.3/9, and 2x FC releases), as well as seed the 
mirrors.

Speaking of mirrors, it seems that our content isn't welcome on Red Hat 
ftp servers, but they are making the directory structure friendly for 
our content to be on other mirrors and require very little config 
changes.  So I need to start collecting information on folks that will 
be willing to mirror our content, yumified.  Have any of you experience 
working with Red Hat's mirror system, something that we can adopt for 
our schtuff?

Lastly, we'll need a Bugzilla system.  Probably our own to start with, 
maybe merged down the road with Fedora's.  I'd like to use Red Hat's 
pgsql'd version of bugzilla, but it's woefully lacking in 
documentation.  Anybody got any experience with that?

I'd like to launch our server and start handing out builder logins on 
it, and start getting some of the kinks worked out with test packages 
by the end of November.  That way we should be ready for December when 
7.3 goes done.

Well, I can't think of too much else right now, so there.
