i uploaded 3 videos and 3 pictures, after some seconds celery stops working. the processes are still there but can't get stopped with the init script from joar. (some processes are still there, also the pidfile)

root@mediagoblin2:/var/www/mediagoblin# /etc/init.d/mediagoblin-celeryd status
mediagoblin-celeryd start/running, process 2851
root@mediagoblin2:/var/www/mediagoblin# /etc/init.d/mediagoblin-celeryd stop
Stopping GNU MediaGoblin Celery task queue: mediagoblin-celerydFailed to shut down after 20 seconds. Aborting.
 failed!

also strange is, that 2 files get the id of celery task as name (see picture).

my setup: vm with 8 cores and 2048 mb ram debian 7 postgres gunicorn nginx newest mediagoblin

As this discussed in the meeting today (2014-06-07), dependency versions should be pinned.

For all dependencies which adhere to ​http://semver.org/ only the MAJOR and MINOR version should be pinned, never the PATCH version. If a particular release of mediagoblin is known to work with a wider range of versions, pinning to a wide range is better.

Versions should be pinned in requirements.txt, which is convenient for users deploying using pip and virtualenv. Leave the versions in setup.py unpinned (except for minimum versions where necessary).

Verify requirements.txt for each release, and update it if necessary.

The install instructions tell on: ​http://mediagoblin.readthedocs.org/en/v0.6.1/siteadmin/deploying.html

Tell me to install the prerequisite python-imaging on Fedora. But in the version I'm using (Fedora 20), this package has been replaced by

python-pillow

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Pillow
Replace PIL (python-imaging) with Pillow, an actively maintained fork which is also heading for python3 compatibility

When trying to install with:

./experimental-bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make

I get:

checking for Python 'Image' library... no
configure: error: Python Imaging Library is required
