+ == Application categories

+ 

+ The Fedora Infrastructure runs a fairly larged number of applications. CPE runs

+ most of them and maintain (as in maintain the code base, writing code and patches)

+ quite a few of them.

+ However, not all applications will get the same level of attention from CPE. So

+ they have been categorized into two maintenance status and two maintenance level.

+ 

+ Each appliction can then be categorized using these, for example:

+ 

+ - bodhi is: CPE run and maintain - Critical path

+ - koji is: CPE run and don't maintain (type a) - Critical path

+ - waiverdb is: CPE run and don't maintain (type b) - Critical path

+ - simple-koji-ci is: CPE run and don't maintain (type b) - Not critical path

+ 

+ === Maintenance status

+ 

+ CPE run and maintain:: these are the applications that we run and for which the

+   team is responsible for the code base. We lead the project upstream and run it

+   in the infrastructure. If something break, we will look at it and if that

+   requires patching we will do it.

+ 

+ CPE run and don't maintain:: these are applications that are running in the

+   infrastructure but for which we do not write the code base. There are two

+   types of applications in this sections:

+     - a) applications that for which we look after the deployment

+     - b) applications for which other people look after the

+        deployment, in which case our work can be described as providing "power and pings",

+        in other words, providing power and network. If something goes wrong, we will

+        try to restart the service and if the service doesn't recove, we will contact

+        the maintainers of the application.

+ 

+ === Maintenance level

+ 

+ Critical path:: these are applications that are needed to build or ship one

+   of our deliverables to our users.

+ 

+ Not critical path:: these are applications that while important for the

+   community will not impact the production or delivery of the project's

+   artifacts.
