640682 - Need hardware/vm for yum repository machine

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: RelOps: General, task)

Description

[John Ford [:jhford] CET/CEST Berlin Time]

In order to complete bug 600317, I need a machine that runs either Fedora 14 or RHEL 6 to host the yum repository creation programs and nightly keys.  Getting this repository set up is a Q1 goal.

This machine will be used to generate a yum repository and delta-rpms.  Creating the repository involves a lot of hashing of rpms and creating delta-rpms.  This machine will need to receive incoming SSH connections from any/all linux build slaves as well as make outgoing SSH network connections to stage.mozilla.org.

A no-op run of the delta rpm creation program used 1.1GB of memory and took a minute to run on a machine that didn't need to use swap.

$ tstime makedeltarpm  minefield-4.0-b13pre.20110308154012.x86_64.rpm minefield-4.0-b13pre.20110308154012.x86_64.rpm out.drpm

Going to deploy this in scl2, but the machines don't appear to have IPMI configured as expected. Will make a site visit tomorrow AM to sort this out.
