warp: thanks. I appreciate that. I think everyone should do that on their branches.

ruaok: my schema change tickets both need a tiny bit more work which I will also finish tomorrow. I've had a bunch of feedback on them already, so hopefully they'll be ready then.

(UI changes is a bit misleading for MBS-6023, because the vast majority of the changes shouldn't affect the interface at all)
having just pushed out five changes it didn't, guessing no :)

(it takes a few seconds for bitbucket to realize a pull request is closed if you just push it, but so far it has always closed them for me)

or something about that particular pull requests is confusing bitbucket.

“When the supply of registrant codes for use with the United Kingdom country code of “GB” has been exhausted, new registrant codes will be allocated for use with a new “UK” country code. This is expected to happen in early 2013.”

also, there's a reason they're trying to figure out a replacement for the ISRC system :P

tonyschuite: you can try putting perl in front of it, so something like carton exec -Ilib -- perl ./admin/InitDb.pl -- --createdb etc...

I wonder why they chose DG

(instead of a user-assigned one like QM)

nikki: “[CP and DG] are used by the International Telecommunications Union to identify certain technical installations (on Clipperton Island and Diego Garcia respectively) and no ambiguity can arise.”

nikki, because they are the voiced alternatives to /T/ and /K/!

nikki: I think they just went “well, what can we use that won’t break too many peoples’ validation systems?”
2013-03-15 07441, 2013
hawke_1
since their validation specifies that everything in ISO 3166-1 is allowed…
2013-03-15 07459, 2013
hawke_1
…that means that DG is already allowed.
2013-03-15 07409, 2013
hawke_1
of course that doesn’t explain the inconsistency, but hey whatever
2013-03-15 07417, 2013
nikki
technically DG is only "exceptionally reserved" :P
2013-03-15 07429, 2013
hawke_1
nikki: yes, they say that too.

I didn’t paste the whole bulletin. :-p
2013-03-15 07405, 2013

and if they're worried about breaking stuff that doesn't believe QM to QZ exists, then they're a bit late
2013-03-15 07439, 2013
hawke_1
Yes, it’s completely stupid.
2013-03-15 07457, 2013
hawke_1
Now can I move on to the stupidity in their validation criteria?
“An ISRC is always invalid if:… it is the same as the code assigned to a different recording It is a fundamental principle of the ISRC system that two different recordings must have different ISRCs. If an ISRC is found that has already been seen assigned to a different recording, then an error has occurred. The source of the error should be investigated.”
2013-03-15 07446, 2013
hawke_1
How do you know if a recording is different? Well, it has a different ISRC of course!
