bodhi 0.6.0 with EPEL support
by Luke Macken
Hey all,
I just deployed bodhi 0.6.0 to app1-6 and releng{2,1.stg}. This release
contains patches from both Dennis Gilmore and myself to support pushing
updates for EPEL.
I just submitted my first EPEL update into bodhi, so things seem to be
working properly so far. It should be safe to start queueing EPEL
updates, and we'll try doing a small push early next week.
Please file bugs here: https://fedorahosted.org/bodhi/newticket
Thanks,

current orphan packages in EPEL
by Kevin Fenzi
I meant to post this a while back.
This is the current list of orphaned packages in EPEL.
Some of them were retired for good reason, see the
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Retired_packages
page to find out if thats the case.
Some of them simply need new maintainers to step up and give them
love. ;)

Fail2ban + Shorewall Question
by BJ Dierkes
Hello all,
I bring this to the list being that the issue isn't necessarily a bug,
rather a concern about implementation. Per the documentation [http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/MANUAL_0_8
] fail2ban is _capable_ of supporting shorewall (among other things)
and even states that "the following software is optional but
recommended" with reference to shorewall. However, fail2ban does not
_require_ shorewall to function.
That said, having a 'Requires: shorewall' in the fail2ban spec seems
unnecessary and in my opinion improper. Breaking the package out into
a sub package doesn't seem necessary either... being that the only
file(s) I see that could be split off would be:
]# rpm -ql fail2ban | grep shorewall
/etc/fail2ban/action.d/shorewall.conf
Regardless, for the sake of those that have no interest in shorewall
(and in particular those that want to avoid having to support
shorewall) I'd like to suggest that fail2ban-shorewall be broken off
in a sub-package so that the dependency of shorewall is only enacted
when desired.
Thoughts?
Thank you for your time.

Builds that may need updates created
by Dennis Gilmore
if you are the owner of one of the following builds please make sure that you
have created an update for it in bodhi either via "make update" in your cvs
checkout or via https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates
builds that don't get updates created will never get pushed to stable.
Thanks
Dennis

EPEL Bug Day July 11, 2009 0-23:59 UTC
by Michael Stahnke
EPEL bug day is fast approaching and we are looking for your help. This is a
chance to get involved with EPEL and help make the overall product a little
better.
Goal: Reduce or update bugs from EPEL.
Strategy: The vast majority of EPEL bugs have been classified loosely into
three categories.
* ActualBug -- A real bug, often times with upstream software issues, or
perhaps packaging dependencies. To triage, see if you can reproduce, ask for
more input, and in general see what can be done to fix it.
* PackageBranch -- This is a request to get something into EPEL that currently
isn't there. To triage, see if the package has been branched in CVS. Perhaps
the maintainer simply hasn't built it yet. Or, if it requires dependencies,
contact the maintainer for those dependencies, open another bug, and create the
proper relationship between them.
* UpdatePackage -- Requests to update packages can be difficult in EPEL, but
each should be evaluated. Ask for reasons why the update is required (security
is an extremely valid reason). Sometimes the old version is no longer
maintained upstream, etc. Keep in mind that updates that cause breakage should
at least be mentioned on the epel-announce mailing list.
Feel free to take a bug and help out. It's a 24 hour event, and we have about
135 bugs. If we can get 6 bugs an hour triage and updated, that would be all of
them.
Event coordination and collaboration will occur in #epel on irc.freenode.net.
(Also you don't have to wait until July 11 to start)

New Mailing lists reminder
by Kevin Fenzi
Just a quick reminder/note that there are several new mailing lists in
EPEL land:
epel-announce:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/epel-announce
A low volume list that contains announcements of interest to users of
EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux).
(ie, this is a list to tell end users of EPEL to subscribe to for
occasional announcements of interest to them).
and
epel-package-announce:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/epel-package-announce
This mailing list is used for announcing package updates for the Fedora
EPEL Project.
(This is the list that bodhi sends announcements about security
updates, and other stable updates. Subscribe to this if you want to
know as soon as packages are pushed to stable).
Tell your friends to subscribe today!
