LordSputnik: pushed

LordSputnik: I've also delted Alias import, because it was unnecessary

stanislas: good thinking

stanislas: looks good, I'll approve that :)

My first lesson begins in 7 hours 15 minutes, so I should go to sleep now :) really thanks for help

good night then!

sorry for keeping you up so late

LordSputnik: thanks, see you :) Claimed and submited /edition/:id

Freso: LordSputnik What do I do? I am bored out of my mind...

opatel99: whats the matter with the rest of the BB tasks?

opatel99: Leftmost commented on the capitalisation stuff, I think he's probably right, maybe we could get that finalized?

(though I won't be able to check for 12 or so hours)

@ruaok: Hello Robert, this is Michael Zinman from Digital West. I was wondering if you had a moment to answer a quick question about your ticket, T20160113.0017, in regards to rebuilding the RAID array on baron?

MZinman : welcome, though ruaok may not be immediately available :)

Ahh, no problem. I see that baron has a degraded RAID array that will need to be rebuilt prior to installing the newer Ubuntu dist. I was going to rebuild it before attemting to install the new OS, but just need to ensure that everything has been properly backed up and secured from the existing array first.

Basically, I just wanted to check for the "all-clear" before rebuilding the array :)

it’s 9am in barcelona, which isn’t a very nice time to be awake ;)

I sent him another message via hangouts, in case he doesn’t get irc notifications

Oh, I see. I appologize, I didn't mean to wake him. I'll IM the technician who worked on this today here also and see if he has already performed this. I didn't see in the ticket notes that this has been done yet.

I'm sure he appreciates your active handling of the ticket, whether asleep or awake. :)

MZinman: i could lead you if needed, ruaok is sleeping atm, i'm sysadmin too. What do you need to know to proceed with baron ?

Anything on baron can be safely erased.

Hello zas, the notes on the ticket indicate that the RAID array needs to be rebuilt. I was going to do this before installing new distro of Ubuntu, but wanted to confirm that everything has been backed up from this array that you may need.

Perfect!

Yes, there's nothing to backup. The installed system was 14.10 and we want to go back to 14.04 LTS on this (yet unused) server.

Also, our tech indicated that one disc had gone bad and was going to be replaced. Robert advised he wanted RAID 1,0, but I didn't want to rebuild to a bad disc, would good-old RAID 1 be ok for now?

A disc was going bad ? i'm not aware of this issue. But all our servers are using RAID 1 anyway.

Huh, I see this now. This is from our tech earlier: "You will need to install to the degraded array. Robert is going to order a new drive." I'll rebuilt as RAID 1, should catch any problems during the rebuild process if there is a bad disc

If there is, I'll notify Robert of the drive ID and we can go from there

Yes. I think the bad drive was the reason for baron to be initially take out. But i thought this issue was fixed, since baron came back in the mean time. The reason of the re-install is due to the wrong version of the distribution.

Ok, no problem.

It is meant to be used as a secondary server, we need to have the same dist on it than on the primary server.

Sounds good! Sometimes, on night shift, it's good to get all the p's and q's in order before starting the work ;) Thank you for your help zas!

I'm around, and ruaok will prolly pop up in the next 2 hours.

MZinman: zas is correct. Please install onto the degraded array.

just be glad I didn't call you

I will order a new drive today.

alastairp: moi?

yes

Why?

to tell you that dwni wanted to talk

Ah, OK. Thanks for letting me sleep.

Was up til 3:30 doing just that. :-)

heh

any picard devs around?

how does picard deal with AC/DC since picard uses that as a seperator in id3v2 2.3 files?

zag2: it has an option to change separator if needed (check Options > Tags)

That said, just do a test after enabling debug log, i can't tell you much on this specific question.

sure but most of our users will just use the defaults from picard

If i remind correctly, the ID3v2 2.3 spec has no way to escape slash ... so it is not really a Picard issue.

i think it is one reason for 2.4 to exist, using / as separator without mean to escape is just plain stupid.

You may perhaps use a script to replace / in artist name before tagging though.

yeh we are thinking of just adding spaces before and after the slash /

http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=687 for an old topic about it

LordSputnik: sent the screenshots and updated less file :)

thx zas

It is possible that I am blind, but where is a release's release date stored in the database? The release table doesn't have a date in it. There's a release alias table which has dates in it, but I'm not sure what a release alias is

(also, there isn't enough data in the release alias table for there to be one per release :))

is it the date in release_country?

aquarius: yes. Or release_unknown_country, when there's no country

(not sure why we have two tables for that...)

cool; checking that out now. Thank you!

alias are alternative names (dates there are for "this release was called X from this time to this time and then renamed")

aha, cool; I don't need that, then :)

(dunno how often they'll get used there - they get much more use for artist names for example :) )

zas: I've merged #454

Mineo: ok, thank you. It is a good improvement imho.

ruaok | And by first thing monday, I really meant 35th thing in 2016. -- Can 35th really do it though? :D

opatel99 | Freso: The input field for the External URL on event/create/ does not have a name. -- I'm not sure what you mean by "name"?
