Re: [Ius-community] Issues With dMirr (Mirror List Server)

2010-08-10 Thread BJ Dierkes
Hello all,

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their patience and 
understanding.  With growth always comes growing pains.  To outline the issue, 
our primary 'official' download server [dl.iuscommunity.org] has been under 
high load the last two days do to an increase in traffic.  For that reason we 
have removed this server from the mirrorlist (meaning only manual access should 
hit this box) and have also moved dMirr (our mirror list server) services to a 
dedicated box.  

These changes should immediately resolve any timeout and lag issues being 
experienced.  We are planning on moving these services to more robust 
infrastructure within the coming months when we roll out some other 
software/services.

Please do not hesitate to contact us via this list, #iuscommunity or 
irc.freenode.net, or my email directly if you have any further issues.

 Mirrorlist functionality is temporarily restored while we prepare to migrate 
 it to another server.  In the meantime, '/pub/ius' has been disabled on 
 dl.iuscommunity.org to reduce load on the server.  To manually pull down 
 files (such as ius-release, etc) you can access from any of the downstream 
 mirror servers here:
 
 http://dmirr.iuscommunity.org/project/ius
 
 
 Further updates will be posted as available.

 Unfortunately we are still experiencing issues with our mirrorlist service.  
 We will be migrating to a new system today and will update when more info is 
 available.

 Hello all,
 
 We are experiencing issues with our dMirr server which handles the 
 'mirrorlist' functionality that Yum clients connect to.  Once resolved we 
 will send out a follow up email.

Re: [Ius-community] New yum 'replace' plugin for upgrading to IUS packages

2010-08-10 Thread BJ Dierkes
Kurt,

I've updated yum-plugin-replace to version 0.2.4, which is now pushed to 
ius-testing.  Can you please test, and verify that this resolves your issues?  
You can either wait 24 hours for all mirrors to be updated, or you can pull the 
packages down directly from:

http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/testing

 Can you tell what version of yum-plugin-replace and I'm not familiar with 
 yum-dump...  Where can I get this for testing?
 
 I will be in the office tomorrow and can assist further.  Thank you

 Hello,
 
 (forewarning: I am writing this as a sysadmin on a CentOS host with IUS 
 installed by the host owner/user, but paltry knowledge of IUS)
 
 I have been running Chef [1] on one of my CentOS 5.5 hosts. Recently, 
 either the host's owner installed IUS, or upgraded it [2], and now CentOS 
 and Chef are no longer on speaking terms. I traced the problem down to a 
 certain yum-dump.py [3] script within Chef, which works with stock Yum, 
 but gets very angry when package yum-plugin-replace has been installed 
 [4].
 
 It looks like yum-plugin-replace overrode the preconf functions within 
 Python's yum. Can someone confirm that this is the case, and suggest a fix 
 and/or workaround for me? Confirming this problem should be simple:
 
 - Retrieve yum-dump.py (from [3])
 - On a system without yum-plugin-replace, run sudo python yum-dump.py
 - Install yum-plugin-replace
 - Run sudo python yum-dump.py once more
 - (Optional) Bask in your god-like intelligence for knowing how to fix this 
 problem
 
 Thanks,
