It should be doable with a cron script or systemd.timer.

zas where are we hosting 1.4 then?

the current 1.3.2 is hosted on ftp.mb.org

samj1912: i think we should host 1.4 packages at ftp.mb.org too

cool

was it 14:00 gmt?

so well update that and remove the dev links

CatQuest: Yes. 15:00 our time.

samj1912: can you prepare changes for the website as a PR ?

zas yup on it

anything else?

who is writing the blog post ?

Freso: how long is it sicne last release?

CatQuest: tooooo long

CatQuest: More than 2 years.

965 commits.

right

:p

So close to 1000!!

Freso: so, abort and wait?

:p

Anything else about Picard?

reosarevok: ;)

samj1912: ?

that's about it from my side

Alright.

Good luck tomorrow, and godspeed!

!m everyone

You're doing good work, everyone!

yvanz: MBS-9062: Convert Spotify URLs

!m samj1912

You're doing good work, samj1912!

This is about how to convert over 4,000 https://play.spotify.com/… URLs into https://open.spotify.com/… ones, see https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9062

More background from parent ticket:

“There are two subdomains being used now, open.spotify.com and play.spotify.com. Actually open.spotify.com is preferred over play.spotify.com as it is more versatile. Spotify user settings allow to redirect from open.spotify.com to play.spotify.com.”

I propose to handle this in the same way as previous changes to https (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Discogs…): using direct SQL update in a cron job. It still consists into replacing a regular prefix of selected URLs.

I much prefer doing edits to entities as proper edits.

whos writing the blog post (we forgot to finalize that) :P

I also feel like we already had a resolution about how to do the conversion at a previous meeting?

made a skeleton: https://paste.ee/p/zNzzI

last picard release was long enough ago that it's in debian testing :-)

CallerNo6: !!!!

oh snap

for the blog psot

zas blog? :P

does anyone have a bot for entering edits to convert those urls?

I mean https://paste.ee/p/zNzzI is a blog post skeleton

bitmap: I'd ping chirlu, but he isn't online. :(

Can we continue Picard discussion after meeting? (In ~5 minutes.)

okay

+1

I kind of want to try and find the resolution from last time this was discussed.

Freso: Why preferring edits?

history preservation?

yvanz: Because it leaves a proper paper trail of what was changed.

chang*

e

is there a MB API for programatically submitting edits that a human can then review and confirm or reject?

This might be the discussion you are looking for: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-8451?...

MBS-8451: Update Wikipedia (etc) links and URL cleanup

eh, yea

agentsim: No.

offline editing would necessiate such a thing i think

yvanz: I remember we specifically had it as a meeting topic before the new year.

there were a lot more of the https replacements and it was a smaller change

https://github.com/96187/musicbrainz-bot should be able to edit URLs, although any samples of how to do that specifically that I had were lost with rika IIRC

Freso: This is a very minor change as ‘play’ and ‘open’ subdomains are interchangeables.

R.I.P. rika.

rip rika, i miss your reports

even if I myself never figured otu how to make one

I mean, it is exactly the same type of change than http to https, just 4 characters more.

It doesn't seem like we're getting to a resolution about the Spotify URLs right now.

And the allotted meeting time has run out.

Agreed.

And with that...

</BANG>

playing devils advocate: the makingi nt oedits will create a lot of subscription "spam" on artists

reosarevok: you can edit urls with murdos' musicbrainz-bot as well, see https://github.com/mineo/mb2wikidatabot/blob/ma...

I'm sure you can, I just only ever used nikki's :)

So I can't really speak for others

zas: Do you think you could write up a blog post? If I have wifi on the plane tomorrow, I can proofread and schedule it.

anyway for a proper blogpost, there eneeds to be the list of icets that where esolved/features added

hello

Not an entire list, please no.

ok fine, never midn my attempt then

The entire list is for the release notes. The blog post should just be highlights, IMHO.

https://paste.ee/p/zNzzI is rubbish anyway

yea

i did mena for it to be a skeleton for others to add to, thoguh

CatQuest: I thought you said it was a skeleton, I didn't know you wanted to write the entire thing.

Right.

"highlights included"

CatQuest: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/secure/ReleaseNo...

Freso: sorry, i am to tired to do it justic rigt now

more fun stats at https://tickets.metabrainz.org/projects/PICARD?...

Right. Hence my suggesting zas take a poke at it.

ok, zas can chose (or not) to implemen whatever of my skeleton then :)

samj1912: Statistics can be fun indeed. :)

Anyway.

I guess it's time for me to pack up and head home so I can pack up and head home tomorrow.

\o

Freso: i will not have time tonight, but i can work on it tomorrow morning.

I can help with proof-reading

if I am awake i can help too

zas: Cool. :) Maybe bitmap or Mineo could be willing to? I'll be on a plane ~9-12 CET. I hope it'll have wifi.

* ~9–12

Freso: you remember the alt-code for – O.o

samj1912: No. CompKey + - + - + .

I don't remember any Alt-keys, and I don't even think they work here.

I won't be home before 17:30 or so german time tomorrow

alt - for me :D
