yllona: Where do you want the link?-)

srotta: drop it here, i've got about an hour to burn before "real life" beckons

I meant do you want the link to the release or some music company?

http://www.emi.fi/julkaisut/49/allaboutveetithe... That's the release I was talking about.

please follow up with an e-mail. [my nick] at gmail

srotta: before i click... is it in english? :P

Of course not.

I'll see if I can find something more legible :P

srotta: awww sh--, let me look at this

So that's a compilation. That page actually says it was published by EMI Finland.

okay, got ya

let me take a quick look, gimme a few minutes to get off the phone

Yeah.

ruaok and luks if you're lurking in the background... MB most definitely needs a "subsidiary" AR... if it doesn't already exist ;)

it does

luks thank you!

http://musicbrainz.org/show/label/relationships... - for example

luks: last i checked (sunday night -- late), i couldn't get that far.

i'll go back and look

back in about an hour and a half.

ta ta!

srotta: were you able to find veeti & the velvets on AMG?

AMG usually don't have info about music from outside of the US

luks & srotta: veeti, was never released in the US?

yllona: Probably not.

And no, it's not in AMG 8)

srotta: i just foound the english page on EMI... i'm slow, but not stoopid

srotta: "has operated in Finland since 1972 signing and developing local artists, marketing and promoting both local and EMI Music’s international artists, and distributing their talent and music to customers."

Yeah.

http://www.esounds.com/esounds/en/ has a very complete EMI catalog, but it's mostly UK-only

contact info on this page (in english): http://www.emi.fi/www/english

{global notice} Hi all! Freenode is currently looking for more leaf and hub servers for both the US and Europe, as well as AU and other countries. If you would be interested in possibley hosting a server, please see 'http://freenode.net/hosting_ircd.shtml' for more information.

EMI is pretty responsive, and has been "internet positive" for quite some time now -- several years

srotta: i'd go ahead a send a polite e-mail. make it as concise as possible... enough detail to get the job done :)

Yeah, the problem I'm having here is "what to use as the label", when there are several options.

And that's a generic question, not just for that particular release.

yeah, it's not an easy question. drop the e-mail. EMI is one of the "good guys"

Yesterday we were talking about Herodes, which is another Finnish label owned by EMI. They were independent for about four hours during 1990, but the name sticks in several prominent artists' releases.

Ok, so maybe they were a bit more long-lived, but still :P

srotta: include the MB URLs so the EMI folk have "point of reference" -- you have the skillz for this type of communication. just remember, you'

*you're *not* communicating with a programmer

Hehe

Zen Caf�'s albums have Evidence's logo, Fazer Records copyright and "Warner Music Finland" or "Warner Music Europe" in big letters :P

and given the Apple/EMI announcement last week... i'll bet you some serious money that EMI is "grossly understaffed". please be patient....

Yeah, I'll probably send it in Finnish and then mail you with results.

srotta: purr-fect! :)

srotta: one more thing... please mention that MB is an open source, community-developed project. MB is a fully qualified, registered "non-profit" in the US.

srotta: you'd be surprised how much difference that makes

:-D

8)

anyone seend rouak lately?

BigMcLargeHuge: he just left for "a meeting"

ohok

i hope i can catch him today, i have a US mirror setup for mb

nappy time, bye

Jugdish_ is now known as Jugdish

hey ruaok

hey

how do i update this mirror :)

which dataset do you have loaded?

if its from yesterday, then go to:

admin/replication

./LoadReplicationChanges

and fire that off in a cron job hourly 10 minutes after the hour

ok let me try that

This is not a slave server!

whoops.

error it give me

edit DBDefs.pm and change the type to RT_SLAVE.

then drop the functions, foreign keys and triggers.

then run it again

how do i drop those?

sorry on the phone

Use of uninitialized value in integer eq (==) at ./LoadReplicationChanges line 113.

Wed Apr 4 17:06:32 2007 : Schema sequence mismatch - codebase is 7, database is 0

i guess thats because i didnt fo drop the functions, foreign keys and triggers.

do*

luks and/or ruaok: any chance we could have the nifty artist lookup box when specifying an artist filter in an advanced edit serach?

:P

BigMcLargeHuge: I'm worried that the data import didn't go as it should've.

probably didnt

can you re-import the data now that you have the type set to RT_SLAVE?

that will probably be the easiest.

thats what i get

i edited the pm file to RT_SLAVE

and then tried to run it

oh, you need to drop the existing database and re run the InitDb.pl command.

because initdb does different things based on the database type.

so ./psql READWRITE < sql/CreateViews.sql again?

and the functions one?

you need to DROP the database.

then InitDb.pl --createdb --import <file>

or files.

su - postgres

dropdb musicbrainz_db

exit

to drop the database

ok

so i need to download that tar again?

if you deleted them, yes.

yes, download all except the moderation ones. those are not needed.

grab all the others.

download to say /tmp

then

./InitDb.pl --createdb --import=/tmp/mbdump*

this is going to take a little bit to download

Jugdish: yes -> bugs.mb.org :)

ok getting the last one i skipped the closedmoderation one

14:57

left

still downloading

bleh
