[Trouble-maker-developers] trouble-maker-0.06 testing

[Developers l. f. trouble-m. <tro...@li...>]

I've been testing the beta on RHEL5 and when I run it with the following
options the engine doesn't backup any files or copy the script to the rescue
directory.  It does make the changes to the system though.

/usr/local/trouble-maker/bin/trouble-maker.pl --version=RHEL_5
--selection=apache-hostname_collision

However if I modify the trouble-maker.pl script and turn on all of the
debugging everything works just fine.  It backs up all the /etc/hosts and
/etc/sysconfig/network files and copies the script to the
"/tmp/trouble-script/rescue/TROUBLE-SCRIPT".  I would guess that we've got
another bug in there somewhere that DEBUG routes around.

I haven't tested with other trouble-scripts, but thought I'd get this bug
report out there over the weekend.

Any thoughts on this issue?

I have signed up to host a CampGround session on Wednesday afternoon (June
23rd) of the Red Hat Summit to show off what we have working.

Sorry, some unexpected travel got in my way here.

The new version of the engine is packaged up and available at
http://www.starmind.org/temp/trouble-maker-0.07.tgz

You were right.  I found four more instances of operator precedence
conflict.  I'm going to look for others tonight as well.

In case anyone else on this list cares, the way that phrases like this "Do A
or do B if C" got changed between perl 5.8 and 5.10.  In 5.8, it would do A
and then, if C were defined, it would do B.  In 5.10, it will only do A is C
is defined, which is why certain things were only working if debug was on.
Most aggravating.

The fix is for me to change the logic to read:

Try A, store value in A1.
If A1 is not happy, and C is defined, do B.

It's a bit more logically clear, if a consisting of a bit less perl magic.

Great news!  I'm running through all of the existing selections to verify
that they work on RHEL5.  I'll fix any that I can if they don't work and see
if I can come up with a few new ones too.  Thanks Josh!

Re: [Trouble-maker-developers] trouble-maker-0.06 testing

[Developers l. f. trouble-m. <tro...@li...>]

I have done my testing of all of the kits on RHEL5 and have them all
working.  I also updated the configs and some of the scripts to fully
support the other RHEL and Fedora releases.  I've also added a doc directory
with a ChangeLog, COPYING (GPL V2 license) and README file.  I've updated
all of the ./bin files to have usage information too if they didn't already
have it and updated all of the versions listed to 0.07alpha.

My tarred up version is here:
http://millardfam.com/trouble-maker/trouble-maker-0.07alpha_millard.tgz

Please take a look and let me know what you think.

One thing that I have notice is that the random function doesn't seem to be
working.

Re: [Trouble-maker-developers] trouble-maker-0.06 testing

[Developers l. f. trouble-m. <tro...@li...>]

I looked into the alpha and corrected the random function.  I also tweaked
one trouble module:  network-off to use regex matching in the distro checks
instead of manually checking each.  It'll be easier to maintain this way.

It's worth noting that we've run into a handful of little "nice to have"s
that should be on the list for future engine enhancements.  They're not
worth focusing on right now, as we need to boost the modules available.  For
posterity's sake, we have:

* Add logic to detect the OS version, and be overridden with the --version
flag.  Shouldn't be that hard.
* Add the concept of distro families and ranges, so we can specify things
like RHEL_4-6, instead of listing each one individually.  RHEL_* is a good
workaround for now, but it doesn't work for package changes.
* Make error processing of failed dependencies of specified modules more
obvious to the user.  It works with debug mode, but can be a bit confusing
if that mode isn't on.

[Developers l. f. trouble-m. <tro...@li...>]

So can we go ahead and get a release out soon?  I've updated the website and
would like to have whatever we have as the latest build available when I do
my presentation Wednesday afternoon.  Also don't forget that I added a
changelog file to the Alpha that I had uploaded so we'll want to update that
too.  Thanks!

I'm happy with that plan.

If anyone other than Matt and I are following this list, can you please test
my beta at http://www.starmind.org/temp/trouble-maker-0.08.tgz .  Let us
know of any problems.  I'd like to release next weekend.

Re: [Trouble-maker-developers] trouble-maker-0.06 testing

[Developers l. f. trouble-m. <tro...@li...>]

So it looks like some of the changes I'd made with my alpha are missing from
yours.

   1. /usr/local/trouble-maker/bin/check-trouble-config.pl is missing the
   Usage: section I added.
   2. The docs directory with the COPYING, README, and ChangeLog files are
   missing.

I'll run through the modules later today hopefully and report back.

Re: [Trouble-maker-developers] trouble-maker-0.06 testing

[Developers l. f. trouble-m. <tro...@li...>]

So I really wanted to have this available on SF for my presentation so I
pulled in the changes and merged them all together into a 0.09 release and
uploaded it to SF.  I've also added a download link on the website and fixed
the logo.

Looks good to me, and saves me the work I was going to do after my

Should we basically pause at this point until we hear how your presentation
goes?
