Security Policy / Test Plan
In response to Spot's blog post (see http://spot.livejournal.com/312216.html), Adamw offered to initiate discussion on defining a security policy. Adamw gave an update on his efforts to build consensus around a security policy. The discussion started and there was consensus that a policy would be a good thing, but activity has since petered-out. John Poelstra asked whether the request had been submited to FESCO yet.
Highlights of the discussion include:

wwoods updates
Last week, wwoods adapted kparal's autoqa local patch and commited to git. So tests can now be launched on your local system. This should aid with test development and integration. Kparal noted he tested the changes and everything looked good.
Some general updates to the watcher scripts, including running autoqa once for each repo/build that's updated. This will make running 'noarch' tests possible in the future for tests that don't require arch-specific test environments.

jlaska | poelcat: greetings | 16:05 |
poelcat | hi, thanks for the reminder | 16:05 |
jlaska | okay, let's dive in ... don't want to go too long (for a change) | 16:05 |
jlaska | #link https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-November/msg01223.html | 16:05 |
jlaska | ^^^ the proposed agenda for today | 16:05 |
jlaska | #topic Previous meeting follow-up | 16:05 |
jlaska | * adamw - initiate security policy discussion on fedora-{devel,security}-list (see http://spot.livejournal.com/312216.html) | 16:05 |
jlaska | that's a [X], that's for kicking that off adamw | 16:06 |
adamw | so, i did it | 16:06 |
jlaska | I've got a spot in the agenda to talk about progress there | 16:06 |
adamw | ok | 16:06 |
jlaska | anything else high-level to discuss there? | 16:06 |
jlaska | * jlaska to send request for retrospective feedback to fedora-test-list@ | 16:07 |
jlaska | same for me ... this was sent, folks have contributed already (thank you) ... and will do a status updates later in the meeting | 16:07 |
jlaska | that's all I have from last week's action items | 16:07 |
jlaska | anything I missed? | 16:07 |
jlaska | okay ... let's move on then | 16:08 |
jlaska | #topic Enhancing release criteria | 16:08 |
jlaska | poelcat introduced this topic and we discussed it from a high-level last week | 16:09 |
poelcat | thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the list and talk pages | 16:09 |
* jlaska notes ... poelcat beat me too it :) | 16:09 | |
poelcat | what do you think of next step of taking all that feedback and working it into the pages | 16:10 |
poelcat | and then send another reminder to the list by say tomorrow | 16:10 |
adamw | i think it would be a great job for someone whose irc nick is poelcat ;) | 16:10 |
poelcat | and then do an in person review/finalize this weekend! | 16:10 |
poelcat | at FUDCon :) | 16:10 |
jlaska | I've been adjusting the pages for the Talk feedback so far | 16:10 |
poelcat | jlaska: excellent | 16:11 |
jlaska | A hackfest session @ FUDCon? | 16:11 |
poelcat | i'll touch base w/ you after the meeting to see if there are any holes | 16:11 |
poelcat | jlaska: that was my thought | 16:11 |
jlaska | I'm still unclear on how best to account for what adamw raised | 16:11 |
poelcat | seems too specialized for barcamp | 16:11 |
poelcat | jlaska: what is that? | 16:12 |
adamw | which bit? | 16:12 |
jlaska | the impact on severity of hardware and local configuration issues | 16:12 |
jlaska | we all know it exists, but unclear on how best to put that into words | 16:12 |
adamw | i can write up a paragraph for that if you like | 16:12 |
jlaska | no objections here ... it's better than the empty string I've got | 16:13 |
* poelcat wonders if there is still a possiblity of some quantificapability? | 16:13 | |
jlaska | infrastructuralization? | 16:13 |
jlaska | :) | 16:13 |
poelcat | e.g. "5 or more systems" ? | 16:13 |
* Viking-Ice joins late inn.. | 16:13 | |
jlaska | Viking-Ice: welcome! | 16:13 |
adamw | poelcat: it's hard to do even that | 16:13 |
poelcat | adamw: true | 16:14 |
jlaska | we definitely want bugs filed ... but perhaps this data is used to facilitate the blocker bug decision | 16:14 |
* poelcat was thinking of the easy cases | 16:14 | |
adamw | poelcat: you could find five systems that hit virtually any kernel bug, from kerneloops.org | 16:14 |
poelcat | we can move on | 16:14 |
jlaska | yeah sorry, rat hole | 16:14 |
adamw | on the contrary, there are some issues you might be hard-pressed to get five reporters for in beta stage but which many would hit in final | 16:15 |
adamw | so, yeah, i'd prefer to keep it general. | 16:15 |
jlaska | #info next step ... of taking all that feedback and working it into the pages | 16:15 |
jlaska | #info send another reminder to the list by say tomorrow | 16:15 |
adamw | can you #action me? | 16:15 |
jlaska | #info hackfest session at FUDCon to finalize | 16:15 |
jlaska | #action adamw to offer some guidance on how to handle hardware/local_configuration specific bugs | 16:16 |
jlaska | poelcat: thanks for the update, anything else? | 16:16 |
poelcat | jlaska: that's all | 16:16 |
jlaska | #topic Security Policy/Test_Plan | 16:17 |
jlaska | adamw: do you have a few minutes to talk about where that stands, issues/roadblocks etc... ? | 16:17 |
jlaska | #link https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-November/msg01745.html | 16:17 |
adamw | well | 16:18 |
adamw | the discussion has done a classic fedora peter-out | 16:18 |
adamw | it seems like there's vague consensus that we should have package defaults that are 'very secure' and then per-spin customization for less security (if desired) | 16:19 |
adamw | though that would seem to have lots of holes in it as an idea | 16:19 |
adamw | no-one has really stepped up and said 'yeah there's a plan and we're doing it here' | 16:19 |
adamw | so i may need to give it another poke | 16:19 |
poelcat | adamw: is FESCo tracking this issue? | 16:19 |
adamw | poelcat: I don't know. | 16:20 |
* poelcat would hope/think they have a ticket open and are discussing | 16:20 | |
adamw | we could ask... | 16:20 |
adamw | nirik: ping? | 16:20 |
Oxf13 | hey, I'm here, just running late. | 16:20 |
Oxf13 | kid decided to wake up at 5am and have a meltdown. | 16:20 |
nirik | adamw: whats up? | 16:21 |
jlaska | Oxf13: welcome! | 16:21 |
adamw | nirik: is FESco tracking the security policy question? | 16:21 |
adamw | nirik: see discussion about (since xx:17:17) | 16:21 |
adamw | s/about/above/ | 16:21 |
skvidal | adamw: I wrote a draft of the significant change policy | 16:21 |
skvidal | and I sent it to the fesco mailing list last week | 16:21 |
* nirik was just typing that... | 16:21 | |
skvidal | I've, as yet, received no comment At all | 16:22 |
skvidal | which makes me sad | 16:22 |
skvidal | I can send it to fedora-devel-list if that would help conversation | 16:22 |
nirik | skvidal: sorry, I was busy friday and didn't feel like answering over the weekend. It's in my mailbox to reply to today... | 16:22 |
skvidal | nirik: so folks did GET it | 16:22 |
skvidal | that's good | 16:22 |
nirik | yes, I got it. Just haven't had a chance to reply yet | 16:23 |
jlaska | #info there's vague consensus that we should have package defaults that are 'very secure' and then per-spin customization for less security (if desired) | 16:23 |
skvidal | b/c I couldn't tell if it had been held for approval or something | 16:23 |
jlaska | #info no-one has really stepped up and said 'yeah there's a plan and we're doing it here' | 16:23 |
nirik | with thanksgiving and the long weekend, I suspect many people were away from email. | 16:23 |
adamw | skvidal: do you think the 'significant change policy' is going to be enough to act as a 'security policy'? | 16:23 |
Viking-Ice | One question is there any security certification we can get on Fedora ( some one mentioned something NIST/DISA thingy ) if so is that something we would like to have ( for example a security certified workstation/server spin ) | 16:23 |
jlaska | #info skvidal drafted a change policy and sent to fesco mailing list last week | 16:23 |
skvidal | adamw: no - but it should help us not get caught out in the cold on changes | 16:23 |
nirik | We may want to also look at a 'secure by default, spins/etc can relax for their needs' policy... (since we don't have such a thing right now) | 16:24 |
adamw | that's kinda what I thought. i still feel like there's a need for security policy (policies) / packaging guidelines. so fesco doesn't have anything going on that front? | 16:24 |
nirik | adamw: not currently, but concrete proposals welcome. | 16:25 |
adamw | nirik: that involves defining what 'secure' means, also runs into the 'desktop spin' border issue, and at least one security team member has posted to the thread that he isn't happy with the idea of spin SIGs having complete control over security policy in their spins. | 16:25 |
adamw | nirik: OK, thanks. | 16:25 |
* nirik nods. | 16:26 | |
Viking-Ice | Well I do belive we should allow spins to have complete control over their own security | 16:26 |
adamw | Viking-Ice: we don't really need to debate it here | 16:26 |
adamw | Viking-Ice: just flagging up the issues | 16:26 |
adamw | it's not qa group's job to decide the answers | 16:26 |
Viking-Ice | They just need to document how the deviate from the uber secure policy ;) | 16:26 |
adamw | skvidal: um, where is the fesco mailing list? is it private? it doesn't seem to be listed on the fesco wiki page | 16:27 |
Oxf13 | if anything, it'd be QAs job to ensure the security policy as defined by the project and/or the spin matches reality | 16:27 |
adamw | Oxf13: right. | 16:27 |
skvidal | adamw: 'fedora-extras-steering' | 16:27 |
skvidal | adamw: it's private, I believe | 16:27 |
adamw | Oxf13: that's where we came into this issue: if we want to do testing we need a policy to test against. | 16:27 |
adamw | skvidal: ah, k. | 16:27 |
skvidal | adamw: it's mostly so we can talk trash about you. :) | 16:27 |
adamw | skvidal: that's what i figured =) | 16:27 |
jlaska | okay, so help me capture next steps here | 16:27 |
jlaska | is profit one of them yet? | 16:28 |
adamw | i guess i should file a ticket with fesco | 16:28 |
adamw | and profit is ALWAYS one of the steps | 16:28 |
nirik | yeah, a ticket with a proposed policy would be great. | 16:28 |
nirik | or a post to devel with it, wait for flames to subside, then a ticket. ;) | 16:28 |
adamw | i'm not sure i'm the guy to propose a policy | 16:29 |
poelcat | nirik: fesco is expecting someone else to propose a policy? | 16:29 |
adamw | given that i have precisely zero security qualifications | 16:29 |
nirik | poelcat: expecting? probibly not, just hoping. ;) | 16:29 |
adamw | i was thinking more along the lines of a ticket asking fesco to look into the issue, flagging up the problematic areas | 16:29 |
jlaska | adamw: nirik: and the ticket is to just get this on FESCO's radar? | 16:29 |
* nirik can try and do something if nothing appears soon. | 16:29 | |
nirik | adamw: thats fine too. | 16:29 |
adamw | if it'd be preferred, i could ask the security team to work with me to come up with a proposed policy | 16:29 |
Viking-Ice | +1 | 16:30 |
* poelcat hoping to say this is the nicest way, but would expect that creating/reviewing/make sure a security policy happens is FESCo's job | 16:30 | |
* poelcat realizes we are off topic for this meeting | 16:30 | |
Viking-Ice | I do believe having the sec xperts on board and preferable defining the sec policy is the way to go.. . | 16:31 |
jlaska | #info next step ... file a FESCO ticket asking fesco to look into the issue and help us move towards a security policy | 16:31 |
nirik | poelcat: sure, agreed. | 16:31 |
Oxf13 | poelcat: while that is true, you don't have to be in FESCo to create the policy or any proposal. | 16:31 |
adamw | just #action me to do a fesco ticket and i'll figure it out | 16:31 |
Oxf13 | poelcat: in fact, a subject matter expert may be a better choice to create such a policy, rather than the members of FESCo | 16:32 |
* adamw is talking to security team now | 16:32 | |
jlaska | #action adamw will reach out to FESCO for guidance on defining a security policy | 16:32 |
poelcat | Oxf13: yep, that is part of "make sure a security policy happens" | 16:33 |
jlaska | adamw: okay ... anything else I missed or need to capture? | 16:33 |
Oxf13 | poelcat: that also assumes that FESCo or the Fedora Board has determined that a security policy is even necessary. | 16:34 |
poelcat | we're off topic, let's move on :) | 16:34 |
adamw | jlaska: i think that's okay. | 16:34 |
jlaska | adamw: alright, thank you | 16:34 |
jlaska | #topic F-12 QA retrospective | 16:35 |
jlaska | #link https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-November/msg01126.html | 16:35 |
jlaska | lots of good feedback on the wiki and mailing list already, so thanks to all who contributed so far | 16:35 |
jlaska | I'm still migrating mailing list feedback into the wiki page, I expect to wrap that up today | 16:35 |
jlaska | #link Fedora_12_QA_Retrospective | 16:36 |
jlaska | As for next steps ... I plan to organize the feedback into related groups to make it easier to see trends/problem_areas | 16:37 |
jlaska | I'd like to then see some discussion around what the group wants to focus on for F-13 testing | 16:37 |
jlaska | I'm still uncertain on the most effective forum for that ... I'm guessing a mix of mailing list and a FUDCon break-out | 16:38 |
jlaska | this shouldn't be anything new ... we informally did this for F-12 | 16:38 |
jlaska | all I'm trying to do now is make this process a bit more repeatable+transparent ... and hopefully help interested participants take part in our objectives for F-13 | 16:39 |
jlaska | #info Next steps ... I plan to organize the feedback into related groups to make it easier to see trends/problem_areas | 16:39 |
jlaska | anyone else have questions or concerns on this topic? | 16:40 |
adamw | nothing really | 16:41 |
Oxf13 | nope | 16:41 |
* Viking-Ice nothing from me.. | 16:41 | |
jlaska | alrighty ... let's move on then | 16:41 |
jlaska | #topic AutoQA Updates | 16:41 |
jlaska | Just our usual check-in to see how things are progressing on the wwoods and kparal autoqa front | 16:42 |
jlaska | who wants to go first? | 16:42 |
kparal | ok, a few words from me :) | 16:42 |
wwoods | er, I'll go real quick | 16:42 |
kparal | heh | 16:42 |
wwoods | or.. yes | 16:42 |
wwoods | kparal: you go first | 16:42 |
kparal | alright | 16:43 |
jlaska | hehe, sorry guys ... I'll pick one of you first to avoid confusion next time | 16:43 |
kparal | there are a few patches in the autoqa mailing from me, maybe you have seen them | 16:43 |
kparal | the purpose is to make test development even easier | 16:43 |
wwoods | kparal: ooh, I didn't see the optparse patch for the watchers | 16:44 |
kparal | so all the watchers should have now (after accepting the patches) --help and --dry-run standardized | 16:44 |
* wwoods was out of the office and off the VPN Nov. 25 until now, still catching up | 16:44 | |
kparal | so now it could improve the expectations that people have when trying out the code | 16:44 |
kparal | I will start documenting the 'Getting started' stuff after it's in master | 16:45 |
jlaska | #info kparal has a few autoqa patches out for review - adding --help and --dry-run options to all watchers | 16:45 |
kparal | and I also worked a little bit on integrating rpmguard into autoqa, but not finished yet | 16:45 |
jlaska | #info kparal plans to contribute to the 'Getting started' use case once changes are in | 16:46 |
* jlaska going crazy with meetbot tags ... sorry for annoyance | 16:46 | |
kparal | wwoods, you may go on now :) | 16:46 |
wwoods | heh - thanks, kparal | 16:47 |
jlaska | #info kparal some progress on integrating rpmguard, more work remains | 16:47 |
wwoods | So last week I adapted kparal's patch for the autoqa harness to add the --local flag | 16:47 |
wwoods | so tests can be launched on your local system, to help with test development | 16:47 |
wwoods | it also supports the --dry-run flag, like the watchers | 16:48 |
kparal | already tried that, works perfect | 16:48 |
wwoods | kparal: great! | 16:48 |
wwoods | let's see - there were some fixes to the watchers | 16:49 |
jlaska | #info Wwoods accepted kparal's local autoqa harness patch ... tests can now be launched on your local system to facilitate test development/integration | 16:49 |
wwoods | they should be running autoqa only once for each repo/build that's updated, regardless of which (or how many) arches the build/tree/repo is available for | 16:49 |
wwoods | this is going to be important when we start working with more 'noarch' tests - tests like rpmlint, which don't need to run on the same arch as the target package/tree | 16:50 |
wwoods | also watch-repos.py was running tests too often, that was fixed | 16:51 |
wwoods | and I updated repoinfo to reflect the fact that there's no ppc rawhide anymore | 16:51 |
* jlaska makes a note to ensure we're tracking the documentation needed for autotest system tagging | 16:51 | |
wwoods | with the new repoinfo library that's just a simple config file change, so that's nice | 16:51 |
wwoods | in preparation for FUDCon I'm planning to write up some notes on AutoQA for Fedora developers | 16:52 |
* jlaska was impressed with the repoinfo config file | 16:52 | |
wwoods | and hopefully I'll be helping kparal get rpmguard running and sending emails and stuff | 16:52 |
wwoods | that's all from me. | 16:53 |
jlaska | wwoods: great stuff | 16:53 |
* jlaska info's ... | 16:53 | |
jlaska | #info wwoods improved support for running 'noarch' tests - tests like rpmlint, which don't need to run on the same arch as the target package/tree | 16:53 |
jlaska | #info wwoods updated repoinfo to reflect the fact that there's no ppc rawhide anymore | 16:54 |
jlaska | #info wwoods plans ... some FUDCon prep work and helping kparal integrate rpmguard | 16:54 |
jlaska | I think that gets it ... shout if I've missed anything | 16:54 |
wwoods | to be fair, the current support for 'noarch' tests is kind of a gross hack | 16:54 |
jlaska | we like hacks | 16:55 |
wwoods | but I laid some of the groundwork to make it work sanely later | 16:55 |
* jlaska makes a note to head to cafepress after meeting :) | 16:55 | |
skvidal | wwoods: repoinfo is in autoqa? | 16:55 |
wwoods | skvidal: yes | 16:55 |
skvidal | wwoods: thanks | 16:55 |
jlaska | Just a few updates on some of my autoqa action items ... | 16:56 |
jlaska | #info thanks to help from abadger1999, autoqa-israwhidebroken is now packaged. I sent a link to the branch to autoqa-devel. If folks are happy, I can merge that into master | 16:56 |
jlaska | having this packaged highlighted a few next steps for having this service run as http://admin.fedoraproject.org/israwhidebroken | 16:57 |
jlaska | I don't think I'll be able to knock those out before FUDCon, so might look for guidance from abadger1999 and/or mmcgrath if they have the time | 16:57 |
jlaska | wwoods: kparal: anything else on the autoqa front? | 16:58 |
kparal | not from me | 16:58 |
jlaska | kparal: okay ... oh, wwoods said he was good earlier ... alright, next up ... | 16:59 |
jlaska | #topic Open Discussion - <your topic here> | 16:59 |
adamw | FINALLY time for the week's most important topic | 16:59 |

jlaska | adamw: hit it! | 16:59 |
adamw | i move that glogg be adopted as the new official drink of QA | 16:59 |
adamw | http://loupgaroublond.blogspot.com/2009/11/glogg.html | 16:59 |
adamw | it involves wine, port and whiskey, and has an awesome name. i see no drawbacks. | 16:59 |
jlaska | #topic Open Discussion - Glögg as the official drink of QA | 17:00 |
wwoods | glogg!! | 17:00 |
wwoods | I have a bottle of that in my house right now | 17:00 |
jlaska | adamw: if we drink too much, side affects? | 17:00 |
Oxf13 | adamw: I was thinking more 'Magic Hobo Gravy' http://hijinksensue.com/2009/11/27/the-special-sauce/ | 17:00 |
jlaska | "Best code I ever wrote!" | 17:00 |
kparal | I want pictures! :) | 17:00 |
adamw | i do not understand what you mean by 'too much' | 17:00 |
adamw | this seems a nonsensical concept | 17:00 |
jlaska | the first images.google.com result for grogg is not what I'd expect | 17:01 |
jlaska | adamw: :) | 17:01 |
jlaska | http://www.mostphotos.com/preview/150009/grogg-drink-ice-glas-red.jpg ? | 17:01 |
adamw | iced grogg? | 17:01 |
jlaska | http://www.drunkenblog.com/drunkenblog-archives/i/oh_glogg_youdevil.jpg | 17:01 |
Oxf13 | jlaska: "grogg" vs "glogg" | 17:01 |
wwoods | yeah I think maybe Glögg and grog(g) are different things | 17:01 |
adamw | http://www.acatinthekitchen.com/photo/advent/glogg.jpg | 17:01 |
jlaska | indeed they are ... never trust "Maybe you meant grogg" :) | 17:02 |
jlaska | kparal: I've seen this a lot http://www.saturnus.se/images/produkter/glogg_export.jpg | 17:02 |
jlaska | okay ... anything else on the radar we need to discuss? | 17:02 |
kparal | never seen that in czech republic | 17:02 |
Oxf13 | yeah, who is going to be on the bus? | 17:03 |
jlaska | kparal: You've got some of the best stuff on earth right in your back yard :) | 17:03 |
