This Week in Fedora Infrastructure Apps
Aug 23, 2012 | categories: fedmsg, fedora View CommentsJust got out of the Fedora Infrastructure weekly meeting. Some highlights from the development side of things:
Status app -- http://status.fedoraproject.org/ is live. Keep it open in a tab in your browser; the favicon should dynamically change when sysadmin-noc declares an outage.
pkgdb migration -- There's a plan in the works to migrate some pieces of pkgdb out to other apps where those pieces make more sense. Some of those pieces (in /packages and /tagger have hit staging).
fedora-packages has a /bugs path that we intend to replace bugz.fedoraproject.org some day. How does it look? Need more work?
fedora-tagger can now export a sqlite-db for yum like pkgdb's sqlitebuildtags did. We still need to test that it works with bodhi's masher before moving forwards with it.
Raw stream -- You can now access a raw stream of zmq messages from our staging infrastructure.
I'll have a handy works-out-of-the-box fedmsg config coming to your Fedora repo soon but in the meantime, you could try connecting to it yourself by running this script like $ python topics_sub.py tcp://stg.fedoraproject.org:9940.
You won't see much; its only broadcasting the quiet solace of our staging environment. But to make it and busmon dance, you could go hit the staging wiki, login, and make an edit.
rossdylan is working on a desktop notification app that will hook into this. Awesome.
Websockets -- (moksha, ftw) This was the one of the first things I wrote when I started work on fedmsg, and it finally made it to staging.
Check it out at https://apps.stg.fedoraproject.org/busmon/. Think of it as a web based version of #fedora-fedmsg with live regex filtering. You won't see much data. It's just displaying messages from the staging bus.
New hooks -- I have an untested fedmsg koji plugin ready to try out once staging has a builder.
There's also a new supybot plugin (supybot-fedmsg) that is ready to try out, but there's no stg instance of zodbot to do this easily. I'll wait until post-freeze. I like the code a bunch.. it is kind of magical.
You can always track the status of all the hooks at the fedmsg status page.
