MPU Meeting Monday 19th February 2007

LCFG website

Chris has (just) asked Craig about the possibility of serving /repository from pezenas. He'll chase up a reply.

Solaris Improvement Project

Chris will test out the new headers on phlegethon and Craig will test them on manticore.

FC5 Upgrade

The move of the LCFG master services to tobermory was done successfully. A number of non-LCFG, non-MPU services remain on achilles. Stephen will mail COs listing these and asking folk to speak up and take responsibility for theirs.

FC6 Project

The core is complete. Updaterpms now runs successfully, though it's not yet being run automatically. Version 3 of updaterpms is being used; this version has no /noarch default.

Operational

installbase documentation

this is now in the testing release, and all being well will go into the stable release later this week.

Holiday

Chris will be on holiday next week.

LCFG wiki

Chris will look at this.

64 bit CD images

The release management process should build new install CD images for 64 bit operating systems - initially fc5_64 - alongside the 32 bit ones already made each week. It should but it doesn't yet. Chris will tweak scripts and release procedures to make the 64 bit CD images happen.

Pezenas disk space

The disk space on pezenas has doubled to 200GB. There's now room for more OSes' master package repositories. Stephen is going to use it for FC6.
