I mean, I'm a DBA, I understand that there are many more relationships between things than things.

adding a release is a lot of work for relatively few edits, adding the same conductor and orchestra to every track of a classical release is a whole bunch of edits in a minute

(well, "lot of work" depends of course, with a decent importer you can fill out a lot of stuff, but it still can't match the numbers you get from adding relationships)
(not that having nicer stats is a particularly good reason to implement that XD)

Got an album here that has 2 bonus tracks that are only on the CD if you bought it from Target. Should I label the tracks with (Target Exclusive)? Is there a common style guide for that?

is it will be a different tracklist and disc id

Yea, I created a new release, added the extra tracks and added the disambig.

Is there a way to preview what your edits would look like before you commit them?
2013-11-01 30540, 2013
nikki
other than in the release editor, no
2013-11-01 30510, 2013
xandora|mac
So for things like release group merges, you just have to either know how it's going to turn out or find out after it happens?
2013-11-01 30528, 2013
nikki
yes :(
2013-11-01 30538, 2013
xandora|mac
…exciting!
2013-11-01 30553, 2013
nikki
for merging we really need something which gives us more control over what happens, but there's also a zillion other things we need >_<
you should get a release group with both releases in it credited to the artist with "as" lowercased (since it prefers the data on the target release group)
2013-11-01 30538, 2013
xandora|mac
Ahh, I didn't even see the 'As' or 'as'. No wonder they didn't end up in the same group. DERP.
2013-11-01 30512, 2013
nikki
they'll only end up in the same group if you actually tell it to use the same group
2013-11-01 30507, 2013
xandora|mac
Yea, I was wondering why it didn't tell me there was a duplicate release. Should've noticed something was up.

anything persistent won't change until you restart
2013-11-01 30511, 2013
nikki
making it automatically update is likely to break something at some point
2013-11-01 30512, 2013
nikki
what are you trying to achieve by updating the code automatically anyway?
2013-11-01 30513, 2013
daveh
nikki - like what?
2013-11-01 30527, 2013
kepstin-laptop
perl deps change and need reinstallation, the server needs restarting, dbdefs needs manual updating...
2013-11-01 30528, 2013

catalyst wil be fine, it's persistent. jsut restart at the end.
2013-11-01 30554, 2013
nikki
it always restarts when the files change for me, so I imagine the setup other people are using will do the same
2013-11-01 30506, 2013

(since I didn't go out of my way to make it do that)

well, if you're autoupdating, it's obviously not a production setup ;)
What's the best way to update my musicbrainz-server files (not database, I have slave.sh on cron) from GitHub? Do I just make a cron to run 'git pull'?

http://pastebin.com/AHNmaNJP - What release countries we should use? (WordWide or should we list all countries?)

reosarevok
Heh
2013-11-01 30522, 2013
reosarevok
Technically, all countries. Although that looks terrible, so dunno. I'd just put one and say "fuck it" but if you feel like adding all of them that should be fine too I guess?
2013-11-01 30509, 2013
Jozo
I usually use just one or two... but many other uses 'WorldWide'
if a live version of a track is listed under a different name because it has a different arrangement, the recording is still just a "live" version of the work?
