|
58 |
Welcome to the April issue of the Gentoo monthly newsletter! This month, we |
59 |
haven't made any significant changes from the previous edition. However, we |
60 |
have featured an interview, and we hope to include more of them in future |
61 |
issues. You'll note that we will be interviewing not only Gentoo developers, |
62 |
but also people involved in the Gentoo community at large. |
63 |
|
64 |
We also had to delay the publication of this issue by a few days in order to |
65 |
accommodate the announcement of selected projects for this year's Summer of |
66 |
Code. |
67 |
|
68 |
As usual, you can discuss any aspect of this issue of the GMN in the |
69 |
corresponding forum thread[1]. We look forward to hearing from you! |

80 |
After a long wait, baselayout-2 and OpenRC have finally hit the unstable |
81 |
tree. For those of you who want to be on the bleeding edge, please make sure |
82 |
you read the migration guide[2] before attempting to upgrade. Both packages |
83 |
are in ~arch for a reason. We recommend you don't upgrade these packages on |
84 |
machines where stability is of prime importance. |

Council Meeting Summary |
132 |
----------------------- |
133 |
|
134 |
The Gentoo Council[16] held its monthly meeting on April 10, 2008. The items |
135 |
put up for discussion were: |
136 |
|
137 |
16. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/ |
138 |
|
139 |
* Minimal activity for ebuild devs: Current activity required is 1 |
140 |
commit every 60 days. Should it be higher? Agreement was hard to find. |
141 |
Some people thought it should be 1 commit / week, others said that people |
142 |
have busy lives and questioned the benefits. A number of people did agree |
143 |
that we should trust the judgment of the undertakers[17], and that the |
144 |
number of commits is not the only activity indicator. |
145 |
* Initial comments on PMS[18]: Are there any major changes needed, or |
146 |
just tuning details? The council voted that kdebuild-1 and other |
147 |
unapproved EAPIs could not be in an approved PMS document. The spec isn't |
148 |
a place for proposals or things that will never be submitted for approval |
149 |
by the council. It's a specification, a reference of what is allowed in |
150 |
the main tree. |

154 |
|
155 |
Some items were rolled over from the previous meeting: |
156 |
|
157 |
* GLEP 46 (Allow upstream tags in metadata.xml): Approved. |
158 |
* Document of being an active developer: No updates. |
159 |
|
160 |
Coming Up |
161 |
--------- |
162 |
|
163 |
* Trustees Meeting: There will be a single topic trustees meeting on |
164 |
May 04 - #gentoo-trustees on irc.freenode.net at 1900 UTC - with the aim |
165 |
of adopting the bylaws. All are welcome to attend. |
166 |
* Bugday[19]: Looking for a way to help out Gentoo without investing a |
167 |
lot of time? Join us on May 05 for our monthly bugday, and help us squash |
168 |
some bugs[20]. |
169 |
* Council Meeting[16]: The Gentoo Council meets every month to discuss |
170 |
important technical issues that affect Gentoo as a whole. This month's |
171 |
meeting is scheduled to be held on May 08, and everyone is welcome to |
172 |
participate - #gentoo-council on irc.freenode.net at 2000UTC. |
173 |
* LinuxTag Berlin[21]: The biggest European Linux event is on again. On |
174 |
the Berlin Fairgrounds, Gentoo will be featured again. Join developers |
175 |
and users on the booth between May 28 and 31, we hope it'll be as much |
176 |
fun as Chemnitz was! |

Interview: Gentoo in a production environment |
188 |
--------------------------------------------- |
189 |
|
190 |
This month, we had the opportunity to catch up with Ramon van Alteren[22], |
191 |
team leader of the system engineering department at Hyves[23]. Hyves is a |
192 |
European social networking site akin to MySpace, FaceBook or Orkut. |
193 |
|
194 |
22. http://ramon71.hyves.nl/ |
195 |
23. http://www.hyves.net/ |
196 |
|
197 |
GMN: Please give us a brief introduction of yourself and your role at Hyves. |
198 |
|
199 |
Ramon: I'm a long time Gentoo user both personally and professionally and |
200 |
started using Gentoo somewhere in 2002 coming from Mandrake. Before that I'd |
201 |
been using Linux for about 5 years. |
202 |
|
203 |
Hyves is a social network site akin to MySpace, FaceBook, Orkut etc. The |
204 |
website was originally started by Koen, Floris and Raymond, I joined the |
205 |
company in November 2005 as the first paid sysadmin to help with managing the |
206 |
40+ Gentoo linux servers. |
207 |
|
208 |
The System Engineering department currently is a team of 9 people who manage |
209 |
all servers from bare-metal provisioning up to the application software |
210 |
including the network infrastructure. The website itself is created by the |
211 |
developers (a team of 14 people). |
212 |
|
213 |
GMN: What is the scale of your website? |
214 |
|
215 |
Ramon: We currently have over 6 million registered users and counting, peak |
216 |
performance is currently at 150+ million page views per day (13 million per |
217 |
hour). These are filtered page views, raw http requests on our web farm are |
218 |
well over 20.000 req/sec. |
219 |
|
220 |
On our mysql database backend, we serve roughly 100.000 actions/sec at peak |
221 |
performance. Aside from the web frontend and the database backend we have a |
222 |
very large file-storage for media that our users upload. The total used |
223 |
storage totals around roughly about 280 Terabytes. All in all with all hosts |
224 |
accounted for we have 1800 servers most of them with 2 or 4 cores each. All |
225 |
of these run Gentoo Linux. :-) |
226 |
|
227 |
GMN: Why did you choose Gentoo Linux to power your infrastructure? What |
228 |
features in particular made you choose Gentoo over all the other |
229 |
distributions out there? |
230 |
|
231 |
Ramon: We've been running on Gentoo Linux since the inception of the website. |
232 |
There has been a very short period at the very beginning when the company |
233 |
owned two colocated servers which came with Fedora but that was a very long |
234 |
time ago. Our main reasons to switch to Gentoo were: |
235 |
|
236 |
* USE flags (the ability to easily switch additional functionality on |
237 |
or off) |
238 |
* Extreme customizability (custom ebuilds, install locations etc.) |
239 |
* Close tracking of upstream (speed of updates) |
240 |
* Good community support |
241 |
* Excellent documentation |
242 |
|
243 |
We're using some very bleeding edge software in some cases to run our website |
244 |
with fairly extensive customizations in general to adjust for scale and/or |
245 |
performance. Portage, overlays and the ebuild system in general go a long way |
246 |
to achieve that while staying within the Gentoo distribution framework for |
247 |
all the other stuff. |
248 |
|
249 |
The fact that a bare-bones Gentoo install doesn't come with all kinds of |
250 |
cruft and distribution-centric customizations, helps to keep our systems mean |
251 |
and lean. |
252 |
|
253 |
In upgrading from php-4 to php-5 we've found slotting to be an invaluable |
254 |
feature which eased the migration a great deal. Additionally we had to stay |
255 |
on php-4 for some time after Gentoo deprecated support for it, pulling in |
256 |
security patches with an ebuild turned out to be fairly simple, enabling us |
257 |
to migrate at our own pace. |
258 |
|
259 |
GMN: Please describe how you used the tools Gentoo offers to make maintaining |
260 |
such a huge pool of servers easier. |
261 |
|
262 |
Ramon: Most of our system administration is not done using Gentoo tools but |
263 |
by using an automated configuration management system for Unix hosts called |
264 |
puppet[24]. It uses eix[25] to build a package database. |
265 |
|
266 |
24. http://www.reductivelabs.com |
267 |
25. http://eix.sourceforge.net/ |
268 |
|
269 |
Among the tools Gentoo offers: |
270 |
|
271 |
* We use catalyst[26] to build our own stage3 and stage4 tarballs. |
272 |
* We use quickinstall by Andrew Gaffney[27] as part of our provisioning |
273 |
framework |
274 |
* Catalyst relies on genkernel[28] to build our kernel |
275 |
* We use Portage's binary package support for critical fixes |
276 |

27. agaffney@g.o |
279 |
28. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/genkernel.xml |
280 |
|
281 |
GMN: Have you been through any major "stumbling blocks" while setting up your |
282 |
infrastructure? If so, how did you go about resolving them? Did you find the |
283 |
various support avenues that Gentoo offers to be helpful at the time? |
284 |
|
285 |
Ramon: Several of course! Most of them had absolutely nothing to do with |
286 |
Gentoo but more with bugs and performance issues in various software |
287 |
packages. |
288 |
|
289 |
With respect to community support, we actively search and query IRC, bugzilla |
290 |
and sometimes the forums as well. Additionally we track the gentoo-dev list |
291 |
for changes. The forums tend to be a valuable source of information for |
292 |
desktop issues we might have had (most of the system engineering team runs |
293 |
Gentoo as desktop OS). However for large-scale server issues it has a bit too |
294 |
high noise/content ratio because of its desktop oriented nature. |
295 |
|
296 |
We try to give stuff that we learned back to the community by filing bugs, if |
297 |
possible with patches. However we find that most of the stuff we customize is |
298 |
of fairly limited interest to the larger community because of its focus on |
299 |
our own environment. |
300 |
|
301 |
Running a server park this large is usually eats away most of the time |
302 |
available, so there is little left to clean up patches and/or ebuilds to make |
303 |
them more generally usable. We do try to file amd64 keyword stabling reports |
304 |
on stuff we deploy in our server park that hasn't been marked stable (yet). |
305 |
|
306 |
GMN: Is there a feature that you wish Gentoo had? |
307 |
|
308 |
Ramon: Let's see [rumbles around desk for the long list of features we'd wish |
309 |
gentoo had]. More seriously, the list is actually surprisingly short: |
310 |
|
311 |
* Currently I'm working on getting stackless python[29] working in an |
312 |
agreeable fashion with the rest of the python framework in Gentoo. We've |
313 |
rolled out a preliminary stackless ebuild which basically installs it |
314 |
side by side with the normal python setup in /opt but I consider this to |
315 |
be sub-optimal at the least. We haven't finished it yet, but I think it |
316 |
will be doable. |
317 |
* I'd really really like to see a release-based Portage snapshot |
318 |
released together with the actual release. However, that is not of much |
319 |
use without a snapshot from the distfiles mirrors at the same time. This |
320 |
would make Gentoo less of a moving target and a more reliable base to |
321 |
build servers on. There has been talk about this on several mailing lists |
322 |
where people invariably object that this would create a false sense of |
323 |
stability because no one would port security patches and/or issues but as |
324 |
far as we are concerned that would not be necessary. I understand the |
325 |
constraints placed on the mirror system by such a setup. We are doing |
326 |
this internally for our stage4 files at the moment and that's pretty |
327 |
doable, but then, we only mirror the distfiles part (that we actually use |
328 |
in our stage4 builds) and not the entire Gentoo release with all the |
329 |
related desktop software. |
330 |
* We depend fairly heavily on the binary package support in Gentoo, and |
331 |
we need to separate packages over multiple ServerOS images (stage4 |
332 |
builds) if we need them with different USE flags. I would like proper USE |
333 |
flag support for binary packages. |
334 |
* A little less aggressive pruning of ebuilds in the Portage tree would |
335 |
help. A lot of people are probably still running apache-2.0.x versions, |
336 |
as we are. They've left the Portage tree which is kind of sad, I miss |
337 |
them! |
338 |
|
339 |
29. http://www.stackless.com/ |
340 |
|
341 |
GMN: Any concluding comments? |
342 |
|
343 |
Ramon: The beauty of Gentoo is that it offers a flexible framework for |
344 |
building a highly customizable linux base to run your application on without |
345 |
getting in the way. That flexibility and customizability brings its own |
346 |
complexity but as far as I'm concerned it has been worth the trouble. |
347 |
|
348 |
Running this kind of infrastructure with just 9 people is a form of highly |
349 |
organized madness! If there are any developers or sysadmins out there with a |
350 |
healthy interest in high-performance large-scale infrastructures and |
351 |
Amsterdam I'd like to talk to them. We have open positions in both |
352 |
development and system engineering and would prefer to hire people from the |
353 |
Gentoo community. |
354 |
|
355 |
We welcome feedback from the community, you can reach me personally by |
356 |
email[30] or poke me on IRC (My nick is Innocenti on the Freenode network). |
357 |
If you're interested in working with us, please don't contact me directly but |
358 |
send mail to: jobs.sysadmin@×××××.nl. |

30. mailto:ramon@×××××.nl |
361 |
|
362 |
And last but not least I'm really pleased to make the following announcement: |
363 |
|
364 |
Based on a recent discussion with Robin H. Johnson[31] and Alex Howells[32] |
365 |
from gentoo-infra, Hyves will sponsor the Gentoo community by helping out |
366 |
with new servers for Bugzilla. We are putting up two large AMD64, 16Gb |
367 |
servers with fast SCSI disks for the database backend and 2 beefy webservers |
368 |
to improve the current bugzilla situation. We're currently working with infra |
369 |
to get the stuff up and running and I hope the servers to go live soon. |

|
450 |
PC Magazine: An article featuring the Zonbu PC mentions that it runs Gentoo |
451 |
Linux - "Though sold through a nontraditional channel there's no hard drive, |
452 |
so you pay monthly for online storage the Zonbu PC is a good alternative to |
453 |
the traditional desktop PC. It runs Gentoo Linux, which is a lot more usable |
454 |
than the gOS Linux on the gPC. This is the EPEAT Gold and Energy Star 4.0 |
455 |
certified PC to buy if your computing needs run mainly on the Web. It's the |
456 |
first PC Mag Green Approved product ever". For more information, check out |

Linux Devices: PC-Doctor, a well known software vendor has developed a new |
462 |
Network Factory appliance, which is currently in the prototype phase. The |
463 |
device runs Gentoo, on an undisclosed hardware platform. The company chose |
464 |
the Gentoo distro, "because we know it," said van Aman. "We chose a |
465 |
source-based distribution because we only need to support a few hardware |
466 |
configurations, and we want to squeeze the maximum performance out of the |
467 |
hardware that we have". For more information, check out the complete |

4. Tips and Tricks |
481 |
================== |
482 |
|
483 |
Speedup Boot Time |
484 |
----------------- |
485 |
|
486 |
Are you impatient when booting your computer? If yes, try the following: |
487 |
|
488 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
489 |
| Code Listing 4.1 | |
490 |
| Tell Gentoo's startup system to turn on services in parallel | |
491 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
492 |
| $ $EDITOR /etc/conf.d/rc | |
493 |
| (Change) | |
494 |
| RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="no" | |
495 |
| (To) | |
496 |
| RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes" | |
497 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
498 |
|
499 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
500 |
| Code Listing 4.2 | |
501 |
| Prevent the kernel from displaying status messages | |
502 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
503 |
| (Assuming you are using GRUB and /boot is mounted correctly) | |
504 |
| $ $EDITOR /boot/grub/grub.conf | |
505 |
| (Append the 'quiet' option to the kernel you use, for example:) | |
506 |
| kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.9 root=/dev/hda2 quiet | |
507 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
508 |
|
509 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
510 |
| Code Listing 4.3 | |
511 |
| Remove services that you do not need | |
512 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
513 |
| (View what services are currently activated on boot) | |
514 |
| $ rc-status boot | |
515 |
| (Check what is good with a default runlevel) | |
516 |
| $ rc-default default | |
517 |
| (For example, you probably won't need keymap if you're building a carputer:) | |
518 |
| $ rc-update del keymap | |
519 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
520 |
|
521 |
If you build your kernel with no modules, you can remove modules from boot. |
522 |
|
523 |
Note: If you do not understand what a particular service or module does, do |
524 |
not remove it! |
525 |
|
526 |
You may also like to install BootChart[61], a tool for performance analysis |
527 |
and visualization of the Linux boot process. |
528 |
|
529 |
61. http://www.bootchart.org/ |
530 |
|
531 |
IRSSI and BitlBee |
532 |
----------------- |
533 |
|
534 |
Irssi and BitlBee are both great for simple chat clients. If you have a shell |
535 |
available, we recommend you run them off the server, since you will never |
536 |
logoff. |
537 |
|
538 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
539 |
| Code Listing 4.1 | |
540 |
| Installing | |
541 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
542 |
| # emerge irssi bitlbee screenie | |
543 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
544 |
|
545 |
A previous GMN featured tips and tricks on screenie[62]. Now, configure |
546 |
bitlbee to your taste, and start it: |
547 |
|
548 |
62. http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gmn/20080218-newsletter.xml#doc_chap4 |
549 |
|
550 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
551 |
| Code Listing 4.2 | |
552 |
| Starting bitlbee | |
553 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
554 |
| $ /etc/init.d/bitlbeed start | |
555 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
556 |
|
557 |
Now start screenie and start an irssi session: |
558 |
|
559 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
560 |
| Code Listing 4.3 | |
561 |
| Creating an IRSSI session | |
562 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
563 |
| $ /connect 127.0.0.1 | |
564 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
565 |
|
566 |
Now follow the instructions and connect into your IM accounts and IRC, never |
567 |
worrying about logging off. |

1141 |
Welcome to the April issue of the Gentoo monthly newsletter! This month, we |
1142 |
haven't made any significant changes from the previous edition. However, we have |
1143 |
featured an interview, and we hope to include more of them in future issues. |
1144 |
You'll note that we will be interviewing not only Gentoo developers, but also |
1145 |
people involved in the Gentoo community at large. |
1146 |
</p> |
1147 |
|
1148 |
<p> |
1149 |
We also had to delay the publication of this issue by a few days in order to |
1150 |
accommodate the announcement of selected projects for this year's Summer of |
1151 |
Code. |
1152 |

the <uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml">migration |

<title>Council Meeting Summary</title> |

1248 |
|
1249 |
<p> |
1250 |
The <uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/">Gentoo Council</uri> held |
1251 |
its monthly meeting on April 10, 2008. The items put up for discussion were: |
1252 |
</p> |
1253 |
|
1254 |
<ul> |
1255 |
<li> |
1256 |
<b>Minimal activity for ebuild devs</b>: Current activity required is 1 |
1257 |
commit every 60 days. Should it be higher? Agreement was hard to find. Some |
1258 |
people thought it should be 1 commit / week, others said that people have |
1259 |
busy lives and questioned the benefits. A number of people did agree that we |
1260 |
should trust the judgment of the <uri |
1261 |
link="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/undertakers/index.xml">undertakers</uri>, |
1262 |
and that the number of commits is not the only activity indicator. |
1263 |
</li> |
1264 |
<li> |
1265 |
<b>Initial comments on <uri link="http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git">PMS</uri></b>: |
1266 |
Are there any major changes needed, or just tuning details? |
1267 |
The council voted that kdebuild-1 and other unapproved EAPIs could |
1268 |
not be in an approved PMS document. The spec isn't a place for |
1269 |
proposals or things that will never be submitted for approval by the |
1270 |
council. It's a specification, a reference of what is allowed in the |
1271 |
main tree. |
1272 |
</li> |
1273 |
</ul> |
1274 |
|
1275 |
<p> |
1276 |
Some items were rolled over from the previous meeting: |
1277 |
</p> |
1278 |
|
1279 |
<ul> |
1280 |
<li><b>GLEP 46</b> (Allow upstream tags in metadata.xml): Approved.</li> |
1281 |
<li><b>Document of being an active developer</b>: No updates.</li> |

1332 |
This month, we had the opportunity to catch up with <uri |
1333 |
link="http://ramon71.hyves.nl/">Ramon van Alteren</uri>, team leader of the |
1334 |
system engineering department at <uri link="http://www.hyves.net/">Hyves</uri>. |
1335 |
Hyves is a European social networking site akin to MySpace, FaceBook or Orkut. |
1336 |
</p> |
1337 |
|
1338 |
<p> |
1339 |
<b>GMN:</b> Please give us a brief introduction of yourself and your role at Hyves. |
1340 |
</p> |
1341 |
|
1342 |
<p> |
1343 |
<b>Ramon:</b> I'm a long time Gentoo user both personally and professionally and |
1344 |
started using Gentoo somewhere in 2002 coming from Mandrake. Before that I'd |
1345 |
been using Linux for about 5 years. |
1346 |
</p> |
1347 |
|
1348 |
<p> |
1349 |
Hyves is a social network site akin to MySpace, FaceBook, Orkut etc. The |
1350 |
website was originally started by Koen, Floris and Raymond, I joined the company |
1351 |
in November 2005 as the first paid sysadmin to help with managing the 40+ Gentoo |
1352 |
linux servers. |
1353 |
</p> |
1354 |
|
1355 |
<p> |
1356 |
The System Engineering department currently is a team of 9 people who manage all |
1357 |
servers from bare-metal provisioning up to the application software including |
1358 |
the network infrastructure. The website itself is created by the developers (a |
1359 |
team of 14 people). |
1360 |
</p> |
1361 |
|
1362 |
<p> |
1363 |
<b>GMN:</b> What is the scale of your website?<br/> |
1364 |
</p> |
1365 |
|
1366 |
<p> |
1367 |
<b>Ramon:</b> We currently have over 6 million registered users and counting, |
1368 |
peak performance is currently at 150+ million page views per day (13 million per |
1369 |
hour). These are filtered page views, raw http requests on our web farm are well |
1370 |
over 20.000 req/sec. |
1371 |
</p> |
1372 |
|
1373 |
<p> |
1374 |
On our mysql database backend, we serve roughly 100.000 actions/sec at peak |
1375 |
performance. Aside from the web frontend and the database backend we have a very |
1376 |
large file-storage for media that our users upload. The total used storage |
1377 |
totals around roughly about 280 Terabytes. All in all with all hosts accounted |
1378 |
for we have 1800 servers most of them with 2 or 4 cores each. All of these run |
1379 |
Gentoo Linux. :-) |
1380 |
</p> |
1381 |
|
1382 |
<p> |
1383 |
<b>GMN:</b> Why did you choose Gentoo Linux to power your infrastructure? What |
1384 |
features in particular made you choose Gentoo over all the other distributions |
1385 |
out there? |
1386 |
</p> |
1387 |
|
1388 |
<p> |
1389 |
<b>Ramon:</b> We've been running on Gentoo Linux since the inception of the |
1390 |
website. There has been a very short period at the very beginning when the |
1391 |
company owned two colocated servers which came with Fedora but that was a very |
1392 |
long time ago. Our main reasons to switch to Gentoo were: |
1393 |
</p> |
1394 |
|
1395 |
<ul> |
1396 |
<li> |
1397 |
USE flags (the ability to easily switch additional functionality on or off) |
1398 |
</li> |
1399 |
<li>Extreme customizability (custom ebuilds, install locations etc.)</li> |
1400 |
<li>Close tracking of upstream (speed of updates)</li> |
1401 |
<li>Good community support</li> |
1402 |
<li>Excellent documentation</li> |
1403 |
</ul> |
1404 |
|
1405 |
<p> |
1406 |
We're using some very bleeding edge software in some cases to run our website |
1407 |
with fairly extensive customizations in general to adjust for scale and/or |
1408 |
performance. Portage, overlays and the ebuild system in general go a long way to |
1409 |
achieve that while staying within the Gentoo distribution framework for all the |
1410 |
other stuff. |
1411 |
</p> |
1412 |
|
1413 |
<p> |
1414 |
The fact that a bare-bones Gentoo install doesn't come with all kinds of cruft |
1415 |
and distribution-centric customizations, helps to keep our systems mean and |
1416 |
lean. |
1417 |
</p> |
1418 |
|
1419 |
<p> |
1420 |
In upgrading from php-4 to php-5 we've found slotting to be an invaluable |
1421 |
feature which eased the migration a great deal. Additionally we had to stay on |
1422 |
php-4 for some time after Gentoo deprecated support for it, pulling in security |
1423 |
patches with an ebuild turned out to be fairly simple, enabling us to migrate at |
1424 |
our own pace. |
1425 |
</p> |
1426 |
|
1427 |
<p> |
1428 |
<b>GMN:</b> Please describe how you used the tools Gentoo offers to make |
1429 |
maintaining such a huge pool of servers easier. |
1430 |
</p> |
1431 |
|
1432 |
<p> |
1433 |
<b>Ramon:</b> Most of our system administration is not done using Gentoo tools |
1434 |
but by using an automated configuration management system for Unix hosts called |
1435 |
<uri link="http://www.reductivelabs.com">puppet</uri>. It uses <uri |
1436 |
link="http://eix.sourceforge.net/">eix</uri> to build a package database. |
1437 |
</p> |
1438 |
|
1439 |
<p> |
1440 |
Among the tools Gentoo offers: |
1441 |

<b>GMN:</b> Have you been through any major "stumbling blocks" while setting up |
1463 |
your infrastructure? If so, how did you go about resolving them? Did you find |
1464 |
the various support avenues that Gentoo offers to be helpful at the time? |
1465 |
</p> |
1466 |
|
1467 |
<p> |
1468 |
<b>Ramon:</b> Several of course! Most of them had absolutely nothing to do with |
1469 |
Gentoo but more with bugs and performance issues in various software packages. |
1470 |
</p> |
1471 |
|
1472 |
<p> |
1473 |
With respect to community support, we actively search and query IRC, bugzilla |
1474 |
and sometimes the forums as well. Additionally we track the gentoo-dev list for |
1475 |
changes. The forums tend to be a valuable source of information for desktop |
1476 |
issues we might have had (most of the system engineering team runs Gentoo as |
1477 |
desktop OS). However for large-scale server issues it has a bit too high |
1478 |
noise/content ratio because of its desktop oriented nature. |
1479 |
</p> |
1480 |
|
1481 |
<p> |
1482 |
We try to give stuff that we learned back to the community by filing bugs, if |
1483 |
possible with patches. However we find that most of the stuff we customize is of |
1484 |
fairly limited interest to the larger community because of its focus on our own |
1485 |
environment. |
1486 |
</p> |
1487 |
|
1488 |
<p> |
1489 |
Running a server park this large is usually eats away most of the time |
1490 |
available, so there is little left to clean up patches and/or ebuilds to make |
1491 |
them more generally usable. We do try to file amd64 keyword stabling reports on |
1492 |
stuff we deploy in our server park that hasn't been marked stable (yet). |
1493 |
</p> |
1494 |
|
1495 |
<p> |
1496 |
<b>GMN:</b> Is there a feature that you wish Gentoo had? |
1497 |
</p> |
1498 |
|
1499 |
<p> |
1500 |
<b>Ramon:</b> Let's see [rumbles around desk for the long list of features we'd |
1501 |
wish gentoo had]. More seriously, the list is actually surprisingly short: |
1502 |
</p> |
1503 |
|
1504 |
<ul> |
1505 |
<li> |
1506 |
Currently I'm working on getting <uri |
1507 |
link="http://www.stackless.com/">stackless python</uri> working in an |
1508 |
agreeable fashion with the rest of the python framework in Gentoo. We've |
1509 |
rolled out a preliminary stackless ebuild which basically installs it side |
1510 |
by side with the normal python setup in <path>/opt</path> but I consider |
1511 |
this to be sub-optimal at the least. We haven't finished it yet, but I think |
1512 |
it will be doable. |
1513 |
</li> |
1514 |
<li> |
1515 |
I'd really really like to see a release-based Portage snapshot released |
1516 |
together with the actual release. However, that is not of much use without a |
1517 |
snapshot from the distfiles mirrors at the same time. This would make |
1518 |
Gentoo less of a moving target and a more reliable base to build servers on. |
1519 |
There has been talk about this on several mailing lists where people |
1520 |
invariably object that this would create a false sense of stability because |
1521 |
no one would port security patches and/or issues but as far as we are |
1522 |
concerned that would not be necessary. I understand the constraints placed |
1523 |
on the mirror system by such a setup. We are doing this internally for our |
1524 |
stage4 files at the moment and that's pretty doable, but then, we only |
1525 |
mirror the distfiles part (that we actually use in our stage4 builds) and |
1526 |
not the entire Gentoo release with all the related desktop software. |
1527 |
</li> |
1528 |
<li> |
1529 |
We depend fairly heavily on the binary package support in Gentoo, and we |
1530 |
need to separate packages over multiple ServerOS images (stage4 builds) if |
1531 |
we need them with different USE flags. I would like proper USE flag support |
1532 |
for binary packages. |
1533 |
</li> |
1534 |
<li> |
1535 |
A little less aggressive pruning of ebuilds in the Portage tree would help. |
1536 |
A lot of people are probably still running apache-2.0.x versions, as we are. |
1537 |
They've left the Portage tree which is kind of sad, I miss them! |
1538 |
</li> |
1539 |
</ul> |
1540 |
|
1541 |
<p> |
1542 |
<b>GMN:</b> Any concluding comments? |
1543 |
</p> |
1544 |
|
1545 |
<p> |
1546 |
<b>Ramon:</b> The beauty of Gentoo is that it offers a flexible framework for |
1547 |
building a highly customizable linux base to run your application on without |
1548 |
getting in the way. That flexibility and customizability brings its own |
1549 |
complexity but as far as I'm concerned it has been worth the trouble. |
1550 |
</p> |
1551 |
|
1552 |
<p> |
1553 |
Running this kind of infrastructure with just 9 people is a form of highly |
1554 |
organized madness! If there are any developers or sysadmins out there with a |
1555 |
healthy interest in high-performance large-scale infrastructures and Amsterdam |
1556 |
I'd like to talk to them. We have open positions in both development and system |
1557 |
engineering and would prefer to hire people from the Gentoo community. |
1558 |

|
1572 |
<p> |
1573 |
Based on a recent discussion with <mail link="robbat2"/> and |
1574 |
<mail link="astinus"/> from gentoo-infra, Hyves will sponsor the Gentoo |
1575 |
community by helping out with new servers for Bugzilla. We are putting up |
1576 |
two large AMD64, 16Gb servers with fast SCSI disks for the database backend |
1577 |
and 2 beefy webservers to improve the current bugzilla situation. We're |
1578 |
currently working with infra to get the stuff up and running and I hope |
1579 |
the servers to go live soon. |
