(though for those of you that read https://gist.github.com/ianmcorvidae/1de5aa43b6... it's basically the same)

New post: blog: Musing: compacting replication packets <http://blog.musicbrainz.org/2013/12/03/musing-c...;

ianmcorvidae: the blog post was at least interesting for me :-)

surprisingly accessible to know-nothings such as myself :-)

yes, I like that it introduces to the replication first

JonnyJD_: good to hear :)

ianmcorvidae: If you're still around: http://geordi.musicbrainz.org/?type=query&q...

JonnyJD_: I don't think that users should see the messages. it's something that we should run as developers

(which is one of the reasons I was originally against ian's pr)

is there a delay until the cover art is visible (after uploading manually to MB) for Picard (because I can see it in MB) and can be fetched along with the rest of metadata?

I'm wondering if musicbrainz might be interested in this: "I have 89,830 sound clips of rare records. What should I do?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6838757

chrisirc: not really sure, since we usually only store information about complete tracks and our fingerprinting also works on complete tracks (yielding different fingerprints for the snippets)

they could be stored on archive.org, though

we do store relationships for "free download", but currently also only for full tracks and no snippets

k, thanks for the reply

hahahaha

Some other page who is asking us to remove spam

(to themselves)

wtf

*sigh* it is really frustrating that githubs news feed does *intentionally* *not* include comments on your own pull requests unless you start watching the whole target repository

o_O

yeah, I'm not sure who thought that would be a good idea, but apparently someone did

probably somebody thought this isn't needed, since you have email notifications for these anyways

it does unclutter the news feed from stuff "you already know"

in that case it doesn't make sense that the news feed does contain entries for which email notifications are sent

Mineo: although I do have some comments in the news feeds. What do you mean by "your own pull requests", PRs you opened?

yes

or PRs you opened in your own projects?

no, PRs you opened to a repository you're not watching

ah, that would only be Picard, for me

that's exactly why it's stupid, there's no reason to special-case this

well, I don't think this is special cased. It's probably that the "watch repo" bucket is added to the feed, but not the "watch PR" bucket. Sometimes a comment is in both, and sometimes not.

and how does it make sense to add one but not the other to the feed? I mean, this basically means that you can't use the news feed because you might miss a notification that you only receive via email/web notification

(both of which you can disable if you're not aware that means missing some comments)

I use the news feed on github similar to the one in Facebook: Only when I have some spare time and want to browse a bit. Everything that is important gives a notification per mail

the news feed is just a toy.. basically.

unless you use the rss feed :)

hm, I actually have the RSS feed somewhere. But I don't really use it as much as my notification mails

im new to this org and i wanna contribute

can someone help me out ?

Maybe? Have you read some guides?

(also do you have some more specific doubts :) )

which guides ?

Well, depending on what you want to do I guess :)

Add data? Write code?

write code i guess

Our bug tracker is at http://tickets.musicbrainz.org

oh alright is there a getting started link ?

We do code review on bitbucket, https://bitbucket.org/metabrainz/musicbrainz-se... (you should send any pull requests to the beta branch)

And... hmm. Would have sweared that someone had a short intro for devs, but maybe I imagined that one :/

sam____: probably a first good thing to do would be to get a replicated server running locally, so you have the codebase running so you can play with it.

Yeah, true :)

yeah what do i do for that ?

theres not git link ?

if you want that ;-)

so i cloned the metabrainz-server

sam____: the musicbrainz-server is different, though

and probably more interesting for you

alright thanks

i cloned it

i guess itll take some more time

and like reosarevok said, the code is on github, but the review will be done on bitbucket (better review there)

Yeah, github's review tools kinda suck

I'd just use bitbucket as origin myself I think, although github is officially the central place

They're mirrored anyway

maybe reosarevok was thinking of musicbrainz-server/docs/coding_style?

I had no idea we had that, so no :)

(I probably should have known we had that :p)

the only other thing I can think of is http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/How_to_Contribute#C...

Oh

Ok

That's what I had in mind but I thought it was longer :p

i cloned the repo

now for installing ,

is this the link https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

sam____: according to http://beta.musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Ser... , yes

If I am using the MusicBrainz database in my project, how should I display the copyright to state what I am using?

mstnorris: are you using the database in a commercial project?

mstnorris: if you're using the data commercially, you should talk to ruaok (or e-mail info [at musicbrainz.org]).

warp: No I'm not, but I would like to provide some sort of credit like you guys do with coverartarchive.org :)

mstnorris: if not, you simply need to follow the attribution requirement of the creative commons license

warp: Could you provide an example of what you would like to see?

mstnorris: to be honest, we're not great at this ourselves :)

mstnorris: for the stuff we use, we have an AUTHORS file in the root of the project:
