#musicbrainz-devel

Are we using google analytics now?

We're using COVERS

:D

yay, there are "at least" 345 add cover art edits :)

First page is all reosarevok

lol

nikki, y u not add covers

partly because pages aren't loading properly

hard to add covers without a form to upload them :/

So hang on, we've finally released the CAA, yet the only mention of it in the release notes is "We’ve also improved cover art support slightly." ???

Yeah

Are we still trying to keep things hush hush?

We're not advertising it

At least

:p

hawke_1: there are CAA stats, incidentally, although I realize they may not be in statistics/view.js

heh, no, I guess not

but there's still http://musicbrainz.org/statistics/dataset/count... and also count.coverart.type and count.release.status.<status>.has_coverart and count.release.type.<type>.has_coverart and count.release.format.<format>.has_coverart and count.coverart.per_release.<1-9>images and count.release.has_caa

feh. its been at 254 for an hour now.

I suspect that reosarevok wussed out and went to sleep.

ruaok: it only updates daily :)

:p

ah. :)

unless you're looking somewhere that doesn't

oh hai reosarevok

I'm still uploading ugly rap demo covers :p

so that's where it was at midnight UTC, we'll see where it ends up tomorrow :)

I also added what is clearly the best cover we'll get today http://musicbrainz.org/release/91e2ae47-d0e7-43...

hah

incidentally, I wonder if the archive provides a "download all in a given identifier" option

http://archive.org/details/mbid-5472f28f-30a8-4... seems to suggest no, but that'd be really useful

at 637 now

:-)

we're going to easily add a 1000 covers in our first day.

only a hundred days to go!

why 100?

ruaok: Think it’s better to focus on covers only at first, or on complete artwork for entire releases?

hawke_1: I think you should upload everything you have :P

ianmcorvidae: Well, that’s the idea.

but front covers are probably what'll get used most; I'd do things in whatever order is best for your own organization

I would think that covers only might be best for getting traction

ianmcorvidae: but starting with scanning that’s “nothing”

yeah

So on the one hand i want to scan everything while I have a release handy

and 100k images is my random metric for having a non-trivial amount of images.

(also bandcamp)

ianmcorvidae: can you start with one to import all the currently linked archive pics?

heh

It feels silly to move them from the archive to the archive :p

I should probably work on i18n if anything :P

but I imagine getting as many covers as possible is also important…so…

also, all of jamendo is on the archive, so it's possible that would also be archive -> other part of the archive :P

Oh, ruaok

Someone has proposed allowing wikimedia commons for lyrics

(which makes sense for classical stuff + poems)

Any problem with that?

it was wikisource, I think, actually

Oh, yeah

Wikisource

anyway, it's mostly PD IIRC

ah. send me a reminder. I need to look at it more closely

Mail sent

looks like it's by-sa by default

incidentally

Anyone help me get the new server running?

I've run perl Makefile.PL and then make

(Just running again to make sure there is nothing new)

you probaly want to use carton

Then when I run up the server it's saying it's missing an Amazon S3 module. But I saw that install when I ran the make

probably*

Carton to do the install?

for perl dependencies, yes

Ok, what's the magic words? :)

well, once you have carton itself installed (cpan will do), it's 'carton install --deployment' from the root directory of the server

Ok, I'll try that.

that puts everything into <server root>/local

It's worked in the past, just not working with the latest update

and then you can run the server, and associated scripts, using 'carton exec -- <whatever>'

I'll let this make finish first

that's reasonable :)

I believe current INSTALL has carton-based instructions, also

Oh ok, I'll take a look

transcluders/wiki editors/probably reosarevok: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/How_to_Add_Cover_Art seems out of date, given it says only on test.mb

ianmcorvidae, I am too asleep to think

Can you update the page and I can transclude?

(pretty please?)

Carton install taking a while!

adhawkins: it does that, heh

:)

reosarevok: I just deleted the note about test.mb, it probably needs more review but for now that'll do

oh, heh, that page isn't even transcluded

(well, in the transclusion table, that is)

Oh, much better

huh

The doc hasn't changed

I wonder if it checks for changes on the hour or what

it's cached for some amount of time

I forget exactly how long

Should I expect any output from the carton install?

This is all I have at the moment:

Installing modules using carton.lock (deployment mode)

it'll eventually output things, it may just be really slow

Ok. This is a VM running on an Atom box, so hardly cutting edge in terms of speed :)

Yay, getting some output now

Will this duplicate the installs of stuff I already have? Or just install new stuff?

not sure; I think probably duplicate, actually, since it's designed to create a self-contained environment

Ah, it's now started saying 'You have...' so I assume it'd not going to duplicate

ah, okay

never mind then

cool :)

Yay, it's filled the disk.

Still failing ianmcorvidae

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at app.psgi line 21.

hm, I guess Net::CoverArtArchive didn't get added to the requirements

if you do 'carton install Net::CoverArtArchive' it should install it

Trying now

it's possible that the CAA release today broke devel servers, heh

Installing modules failed

Installing modules failed

hm

Hm indeed :)

I think this may be beyond my expertise then -- you might have luck if you check out a pre-CAA revision

or wait for ocharles to get here so he can tell you how to install that module properly
