#musicbrainz-devel

that's all I know

But did he get to implement releases etc?

try it?

Ok

hmmm, i was going to suggest ruaok use pgq rather than timestamps for this, and then maybe mirror that into a table/log file

then you get deletes too

goodmorning mr. charles!

getting the same error as http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbra... when installing on debian, any hints or any info ya's need to help me out here?

thereisnospoon: it cannot find Catalyst, presumably something went wrong when installing the depedancies

thereisnospoon: run "carton install" again in the musicbrainz-server directory, see if that fixes it.

ok, runnin again now, just carton install, not with --deployment?

if it doesn't, check if you see any error messages when running "carton install" which is causing some modules to not get installed properly.

thereisnospoon: I usually just run "carton install" without --deployment, but either should work. it's still not clear to me how --deployment differs :)

kk, waiting for it to do its thing now

ok that did the trick it appears, its loading now, now any hints on how to change the port?

nvm, found it, thanks for that

lol

Do you have one of those mythical non-cloudy days?

it's gorgeous here today

So, what are you hacking on? :)

improving the front page to show off the latest releases that have front cover art

Sweet :)

I like how we're doing that before we even show the latest releases at all :P

nikki: I assumed it'd be because the new releases are more likely to change quite fast than the releases with new fronts are

ocharles: dunno if you read it - we were talking yesterday of some "look at all that editing" twitter account

is that a bit like my real time events stuff?

Probably

I think they wanted mostly to show off, like "look, changes all the time! so many!" :p

yep, that's sort of what this is about

this will say 'added x minutes ago'

won't people confuse that with the date the release was added?

you mean the date the release was release?

released*

no

it shows the date the release was added

oh

I thought it was supposed to be when the cover was added

ah, no

Hmm, that sounds strange

So you show them once they get cover art, but you order them by how long ago they were added in general?

yes, the cover art is just because it will be too plain to show things without cover art

So, let me get this straight

Are you checking the latest releases added, and showing the ones that have cover art?

Or are you checking the latest releases cover art was added to and showing them?

(also, CAA or also Amazon?)

the latest releases added that have front cover art is what i'm showing

ordered by date added

we know the cover art url though, so there's no reason we'd need to exclude amazon ones

this is about showing our own data off for now

it's just a prototype, let me prototype :)

no! you should do everything my way! :P

I'm hungry but it's too hot to feel like eating anything :(

Cold potato salad!

ew

noms

Hm. I think I'm done with all the code changes required.

now I just need to write a single static json file

warp: what was your project? :)

reosarevok: json-ld support

Explained for idiots, what does that allow? :)

can we make caa info replicated with the next schema change?

it makes a few tweaks to the json output so it can be read/parsed as RDF. which is useful for anyone working with RDF or other linked data.

nikki: I'd be in favour of that

dumps should come out on monday

or whenever the next dump after monday is

rob gave me one today

but I already want to update it :P

stupid edit table, why are you so big

ocharles: hmm, seems we only get an average of 10 new releases per hour

So if we don't show also the ones with Amazon art, it might feel a bit too... static :(

(either that or the last 24 hours have been slow)

booo, this laptop is not setup for development

hmm, our carton does seem to be completely borked

i'm getting that ExtUtils thing too, and I can't fix it

ok, you have to manually install the latest version of MakeMaker

http://i.imgur.com/jixac.png fun :)

ocharles, editor's ?

Really? :D

(but, nice!)

(I like that quite a lot :) )

oops

what do you think about crediting the editor? shall I do that too?

"added by reosarevok"

etc

Unsure

Both work I guess

I kinda like it now, though

Looks more like "the community did that" than "some specific guy did that"

true

(which makes sense since someone can have added it + someone else fixed it + someone else added art)

Of course that's just my opinion and other people might disagree

Not my fault they're wrong :D

I meeaaan, and they might be right :)

what other data can we show off on the homepage?

Can? Lots. Should? not sure

I think this is enough for the homepage

(and any other data-feed-thingies should be in a dashboard or something)

cool, then my hack is done and I can go and drink beer? :)

While you think about the second hack? Sure :p

Is there a limit to it? As in, will it always show the last 4, or does it change depending on how many recent releases with art are there?

it will only show 4

Ok

which page?

ah, thanks!

:)

i might work on the event feed later

i'll let you finish editing

Yeah, I just moved it up

To "in progress"

You do the rest

the cover is rather large next to the text imo (or vice versa, it just seems out of balance)

ianad

and something like that totally looks like it should have a way of scrolling left/right to show more :P

I thought that was kind of intentional, to show off the cover over the rest - but a couple more sizes couldn't hurt I guess

(I guess clicking the cover takes you to the release page - or does it open the lightbox?)

(if the latter, it should probably be the former :) )

it opens the lightbox

Oh, also, a small thing, ocharles: does it make sure they're thumbnailed?

because that's consistent with what cover art does atm

(we don't want people loading 4x10mb when loading the main site)

i don't know what you mean, it uses the thumbnail where it can, yes

I mean that it would make sense to avoid any that have no thumbnails

Dunno if that's simple though

can't do that

all i can do is be optimistic that the thumbnailer is doing its job

heh. Well, if it's fast enough, it's unlikely for more than one of the four to be a full image I guess

About the lightbox - yeah, but that happens when you're in a release page, and you click on a cover

You obviously don't want to go to the release, because, well, you are there :) )

In this case I'd expect people to want to go to the release if they click them

But let's get more opinions!

People, opinions please! :)

maniadb shows a lightbox if you click on a cover and I keep clicking it trying to go to the release page and it's really annoying

especially since their lightbox covers the link to the page, so you have to close it before you can click on the right thing >(

so basically I agree with reosarevok :P
