Turn smock into a real program

Status:

Summary of idea: smock is a hack that Dan and I wrote a few years ago that lets you build a chain of RPMs in mock. It works out all the dependencies and builds the packages in the right order, using the result from an earlier build to satisfy dependencies in a later build, and being almost completely automated. What really needs to happen is that mock is extended to support this as a native feature.

Port Infrastructure TurboGears apps to TG2

Status: Proposed

Summary of idea: Several Fedora Infrastructure applications are written in TurboGears 1.0, and for longevity need to be ported to TG2. These include bodhi, mirrormanager, packagedb, elections, fas, smolt.

MirrorManager enhancements

Status: Proposed

Summary of idea: MirrorManager provides the mirror lists to all Fedora systems. In addition to porting to TG2 (see above), several enhancements would be welcome:

* Simplify creation of new MirrorManager instances (non-Fedora users, such as CentOS)
* Simplify selection of mirrors within Cloud Providers on granularity other than netblocks and ASNs
* Other items on the TODO list
