Fedora and EPEL users who use fpaste<\/em> to paste and share snippets of text might have noticed some changes recently. Recently, an update went out which sends pastes made by fpaste<\/em> to the CentOS Pastebin<\/a> instead of the Modern Paste<\/a> instance that Fedora was running. Don’t fear — this was an intentional change, and is part of the effort to lower the workload<\/a> within the Fedora Infrastructure and Community Platform Engineering teams. Keep reading to learn more about what’s happening with pastebin and your pastes.<\/p>\n

About the service<\/h2>\n

A pastebin lets you save text on a website for a length of time. This helps you exchange data easily with other users. For example, you can post error messages for help with a bug or other issue.<\/p>\n

The CentOS Pastebin is a community-maintained service that keeps pastes around for up to 24 hours. It also offers syntax highlighting for a large number of programming and markup languages.<\/p>\n

As before, you can paste files:<\/p>\n

$ fpaste sql\/010.add_owner_ip_index.sql Uploading (0.1KiB)...\nhttps:\/\/paste.centos.org\/view\/6ee941cc<\/pre>\n
…or command output…<\/p>\n
$ rpm -ql python3 | fpaste\nUploading (0.7KiB)...\nhttps:\/\/paste.centos.org\/view\/44945a99<\/pre>\n
…or system information:<\/p>\n
$ fpaste --sysinfo Gathering system info .............Uploading (8.1KiB)...\nhttps:\/\/paste.centos.org\/view\/8d5bb827<\/pre>\n
What to expect from Pastebin<\/h2>\n
On December 1st, 2019, Fedora Infrastructure will turn off its Modern Paste servers. It will then redirect fpaste.org<\/em>, www.fpaste.org<\/em>, and paste.fedoraproject.org<\/em> to paste.centos.org<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
If you notice any issues with fpaste<\/em>, first try updating your fpaste<\/em> package. On Fedora use this command:<\/p>\n
$ dnf update fpaste<\/pre>\n
Or, on machines that use the EPEL repository, use this command:<\/p>\n
$ yum update fpaste<\/pre>\n
If you still run into issues, please file a bug on the fpaste issue tracker<\/a>, and please be as detailed as possible. Happy pasting!<\/p>\n
