Contact/join the team

Participating to the team

The whole infrastructure is managed by Puppet and SVN. The repository is public, and can be found at: http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/

If you wish to join the team, the recommended way is to study how the infrastructure is organized, and start sending patchs, like any free software project.

To get a checkout of our puppet configuration, you use :

 svn co svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/adm/puppet/

To test it, you should use a virtual machine, running Mageia, and you will need a recent puppet backport ( > 2.6.0 ). Any virtualisation technology should work.

Infrastructure clone

To replicate our own infrastructure for test purpose, the main puppet server should be on a computer who can be contacted on puppetmaster.$yourdomain. It is much easier to call the computers like we do ( valstar being the main node ), see [1] ). Using our configuration will automatically run a svn checkout in /etc/puppet on the puppetmaster, so take care if you plan to use git-svn or similar. For the more advanced tests, a ldap directory is needed, even if almost empty.

Mailing lists

User accounts requests

Requests about user accounts or additional permissions should be done using bugzilla on the Infrastructure -> Account request component.
