hmmm

so what do you think, should add it as a collab artist?

but if you change it back to VA, nobody knows how long it'll stay like that :-)

i personally think VA is better

matter of taste, I'd say

another possible solution: two artists "Česko hledá SuperStar Top 5" and "Česko hledá SuperStar Top 10"

hmm

messy

DB question: is it now possible to file VA albums under an artist != 'Various Artists'?

yes

that's what SG5DR is about

ah, I see

do you have an example album, please? I'd like to check the RDF

maybe the XML schema has to be updated :-/

thanks!

http://musicbrainz.org/album/379b1214-87ed-4bff... is another example

ok, thanks :-)

oh! sexy!

hmm. it seems that breaks a lot of client side code

i know a few albums which could use that.

yalaforge: the new code?

no, the old code

the old code works fine

most tools just test if the album's artist is VA

that's problem of the tools not the lib :)

yes, but the client library is fine

Shepard: hello subscribers

hehe

admitedly, the library example programs need fixing

inhouseuk: i can just move a VA album to the correct artist now?

yes, make sure you choose the correct move track artist options

you don't want to change the track artists

inhouseuk: you're looking at getalbum.c, hm? :-)

yalaforge: yes, I think that is one of them.

yay :)

hey, it's still cool! ;-)

warp: it worked?

inhouseuk: yes.

oh, I thought you're talking about the RDF :-)

maybe there's even someone who wants to write bindings for C ...

inhouseuk: http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4272319 and http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4272317

:P

he isn't?

nope

i'm too lazy, i don't mod enough.

just the stuff which directly concerns me.

sorry ;_;

same with me. I should give back my privs at some point

bindings for C for what?

the web service?

for the new web service, yup

if there's a spec, i'd be tempted

if i have time

is there any code right now?

yalaforge: what bindings are being worked on currently?

yes, there's python client code.

inhouseuk: I'm working on the python bindings. they're working already

do you have a link to the code?

or cvs info

or svn, or whatever it's in

inhouseuk: is it ok to credit DJ Mix albums to the DJ now?

svn http://test.musicbrainz.org/python-webservice/t... python-ws

err, damn.

i need to spend less time editing mb albums, anyway and more time programming

svn svn://test.musicbrainz.org/python-webservice/trunk python-ws

(obviously leaving the track artists the way they are)

ok, neat

warp: afaik yes

hi everybody

chocomo: great, thanks. and hi :)

hi hi

hisen

chocomo has changed the topic to: http://musicbrainz.org/ | http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/HowToSearch needs writing

such

if youve PMed me at all i havntreceived it

naw I haven't

:)

ok

gonna make some vegitarian fryed meatball type things :p

well i gotta get ready for work

I gotta eat

bb later peeps

cu

cu? any realtion to ku or chu?

(I know it means see you)

hm this package name 'musicbrainz2' is misleading

don't start with that :-/

python's package system is totally crap. even worse than perl's

'musicbrainz' is already taken

:(

i just thought because MB2.0 is a term used for the NextGenerationSchema + moderation system improvements + ...

after a long discussion, we decided musicbrain2 is better than the alternatives

ok ok :)

hmm.. python has object orientation, yes?

yes

I would probably make the URL an object

in java it's an object, I know. python's class libraries use plain strings

and for the direction attribute constants heh

yup :-)

is it okay to use & in an album title?

yup

so instead of Relation r = ...; r.getAttributes(); you would do what in python? ...getAttributes(r) ?

this self thing is confusing me

r.getAttributes()

that's something you find in many script languages. C++ started that way, too :-)

in C++, the self parameter was made implicit at some point (and called this)

the getAttributes(self) just says that it's a method of the object, not of the class, or what?

err, yes

strange :)

the 'self' is just convention, you could call it whatever you like

no, it's done like that in other script languages, too

i like how mb_server's code uses both $this and $self :)

yeah

even in the same class

maybe there was a smalltalk programmer around ;-)

the user class is not yet in the webservice, is it?
