Infrastructure Projects
Expected results: A configuration package that, when installed, will correctly set up Avahi for local discovery on the Pi
 
== Create a Fedpkg-compatible Package Repository for Pidora ==
 
Fedpkg is a tool used to manage Fedora packages using GIT (and http). We'd like to be able to use it for Pidora-specific (non-Fedora) packages as well. To set up Fedpkg, a package database (pkgdb), GIT repository, http repository, and Fedpg configuration will be required. Completion of the various components of this project should result in a usable, RPM-installable Fedpkg configuration for Pidora packages.
 
Skills required: system administration, testing, packaging
 
Maximum number of participants: 3
 
Expected result: A working Fedpkg repository, plus configuration files package up in an RPM
== Upstream the Pidora RPM Changes ==
* Quick2wire python library
There are a number of See the [http://trac.proximity.on.ca/projects/rpfr/report/1 Pidora Bug Tracker] for ideas for other package requests packages that people want included in the Pidora bug tracking system.
Skills required: packaging
Expected result: A working, Pidora-compatible package that has gone through package review
 
== Clean Up the Pidora Kickstart File ==
 
The Pidora images are composed using a kickstart-based process. The kickstart file could be cleaned up for better readability and smallest-functional package selection.
 
Recent (but not necessarily latest) kickstart: http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/raspberrypi/test-releases/rpfr18v6/latest/pidora-18.ks
 
Skills required: packaging, composing
 
Maximum number of participants: 1
 
Expeccted result: A clean kickstart file for Pidora 19

== Mirrorlist CGI Script ==
 
Yum uses a mirrorlist retrieved from a server to determine which mirrors to use for downloading packages. This mirrorlist can be generated by a script (e.g., to randomize or to optimize mirror selection), but at the present time a static file is just passed through to the yum client.
 
Skills required: scripting, testing
 
Maximum number of participants: 1
 
Expected result: An updated mirrorlist script
