Label releases, can it be?

the page bitmap links to sorts like that
2011-07-01 18211, 2011
ocharles
but I'm not talking about the page sorting
2011-07-01 18221, 2011
reosarevok
Yeah, sure
2011-07-01 18227, 2011
reosarevok just wonders if it should be consistent
2011-07-01 18246, 2011
bitmap
well, I prefer sorting the more-specific dates first, because a lot of times the original date is known, and the less-specific ones are just slightly later issues in other countries around the same time...

The "age" thing assumes January if no month is given

reosarevok wonders if Opera is made in perl

don't think so

well, some stuff is working, even though it's perl

but e.g. cpan{m,p,} aren't working
2011-07-01 18208, 2011

and certainly none of the mb_server anything

reosarevok: just wait until I show you the SQL query for how many releases a given instrument is used on :P

huh, instrument can be used on one recording-release AR

apparently also artist-artist, but that one I can at least just ignore

ianmcorvidae: not only it can

But I'd imagine that's as common as the other option
2011-07-01 18219, 2011
reosarevok
(as if the record says "drums: X" to add it to every track you would theoretically need to check that all have drums, and if it says "drums: X and Y" you're screwed)
2011-07-01 18219, 2011
ianmcorvidae
well, the only recording-release one is 'samples material'
2011-07-01 18200, 2011
ianmcorvidae
I figured most would be artist-recording or artist-release ARs
2011-07-01 18208, 2011

nikki wonders how much work it would be to change the schema to allow multiple packaging options (even if we don't fix the interface to allow multiple ones just yet)
nikki: In the schema we'd probably remove the packaging column from the release table and add a release column to the release_packaging table.

nikki: it doesn't sound too invasive, but the way our querying is set up I do think quite a few perl files would have to be changed.

warp: release_packaging is the actual list of packaging, I guess it'd need a separate table (or rename release_packaging to packaging and then use release_packaging as you suggested)
