Fedora pastebin and fpaste updates
<div><p>Fedora and EPEL users who use <em>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 <em>fpaste</em> to the <a href="https://pastebin.centos.org/">CentOS Pastebin</a> instead of the <a href="https://fedoramagazine.org/hello-modern-paste/">Modern Paste</a> instance that Fedora was running. Don’t fear — this was an intentional change, and is part of the effort to <a href="https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/outcome-of-the-cpes-teams-face-to-face/">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>

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