Fedora services

This document describes the services ran by the Fedora Infrastructure (note that they may be maintained by other people or team).

Accounts

Services handling identity and providing personal space to our contributors.

Badges badges.fp.o

Achievement system for Fedora contributors, awarding badges based on activity in the community.

Fedora Planet fedoraplanet.org

Content & documentation

Tools for wordsmiths — the apps that store and archive the troves of content that Fedora authors produce.

Docs docs.fp.o

Probably the best place to find documentation about Fedora, including the changes between releases (and a big kudos to the translation teams to keep this resource up to date in the different languages!).

Magazine fedoramagazine.org

Fedora Magazine is a WordPress-based site which delivers all the news of the Fedora Community.

Wiki fp.o/wiki

Any page that does not fit in the main docs website: user and team pages, change proposals or legacy documents.

Coordination

Bugzilla bugzilla.rh.com

Bug tracker shared with and run by Red Hat, used to track issues with the Fedora packages.

Calendar calendar.fp.o

The Fedora Calendar (or fedocal), you might have already guessed, is a public calendar service. You can create your own calendar, or subscribe to others. Want to be kept abrest of releases, freezes, and events? This is the tool for you.

Discussion discussion.fp.o

Forum based oriented towards the development of Fedora, not to be mistaken with ask.fp.o.

Elections elections.fp.o

As a member of the community, you can now vote for the different steering committees and for this you will use the Election application. Voting is a right and a duty as a member of the community; it is one of the things you can do to influence the development of Fedora.

Mailing lists lists.fp.o

Mailing lists are used for communication within the community. There are lists for generic topics and lists more dedicated to a specific topic, there is for sure one for you.

Packaging

Tools for packagers — where the pieces of the distribution get built.

COPR copr.fedorainfracloud.org

Copr is an easy-to-use automatic build system providing a package repository as its output. You can make your own repositories!

Koji koji.fp.o

MBS UI re.github.ui/mbs-ui

Web interface atop the Fedora Module Build Service.

Packages packages.fp.o

A meta-app over the other packaging apps; the best place to find out what is in the Fedora repositories. Which packages are present in which version, who is maintaining them, what patches have been applied, what bugs have been reported against them. All these kind of questions can be answered here.

SCM src.fp.o

Ever wonder exactly what is in the new release of a Fedora package? This is where the change histories of all the packages in Fedora for every release of Fedora (and EPEL) are kept.. forever! A gold mine.

QA

Tools for testers — the people who tell us it’s broken, so we can fix it.

Blocker Bugs qa.fp.o/blockerbugs

The Fedora Blocker Bug Tracker tracks release blocking bugs and related updates in Fedora releases currently under development.

Kerneltest apps.fp.o/kerneltest

Koschei apps.fp.o/koschei

Koschei is a continuous integration system for RPM packages. It tracks dependency changes done in Koji repositories and rebuilds packages whose dependencies change. It can help packagers to detect failures early and provide relevant information to narrow down the cause.

Retrace retrace.fp.o

Platform for collecting and analyzing package crashes reported via ABRT (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool). It makes it easy to see what problems users are hitting the most, and allows you to filter them by Fedora release, associate, or component.

Review Status fp.o/PackageReviewStatus

These pages contain periodically generated reports with information on the current state of all Fedora package review tickets — a super useful window on bugzilla.

Misc

Services that do not fit in the above categories.

DataGrepper apps.fp.o/datagrepper

DataGrepper is an HTTP API for querying the datanommer database. You can use it to dig into the history of the fedora messaging message bus. You can grab events by username, by package, by message source, by topic…​ you name it.

mdapi mdapi.fp.o

Small API exposing the metadata contained in different RPM repositories.

MirrorManager admin.fp.o/mirrormanager

Fedora is distributed to millions of systems globally. This would not be possible without the donations of time, disk space, and bandwidth by hundreds of volunteer system administrators and their companies or institutions. Your fast download experience is made possible by these donations. The list on the MirrorManager site is dynamically generated every hour, listing only up-to-date mirrors.

Pagure pagure.io

Pagure is a git-centered forge. With pagure you can host your project with its documentation, let your users report issues or request enhancements using the ticketing system and build your community of contributors by allowing them to fork your projects and contribute to it via the now-popular pull-request mechanism.

PDC pdc.fp.o

The Product Definition Center is repository and API for storing and querying metadata related to packages, product releases, engineering processes and artifacts which are required to support automation of release engineering workflows.

Release Monitoring release-monitoring.org

Code named anitya, this project tracks upstream tarball locations and publish notifications to the fedora messaging bus when new ones are found. Other daemons will then be responsible for filing bugs, attempting to automatically build packages, perform some preliminary QA checks, etc..

Status status.fp.o

Sometimes the Fedora Infrastructure team messes up (or lightning strikes our datacenter(s)). Sorry about that. You can use this website to check the status.
