VxJasonxV: Ping?

VxJasonxV: Where were the docs for the advanced GitHub hooks docs again?

Some JSON interface thing...

hiho, small question about a deluxe edition: my brother baught this release http://www.amazon.de/Beatsteaks-Ltd-Edition/dp/... which is a box containing the cd, vinyl+downloadcode and some bonus cd and other bonus material

should i add all the mediums? the album itself is included 3 times. as a cd, vinyl and digital

if it were just the cd with a download code this would have been a nobrainer, but now i’m not sure what to do

yeeeargh: yes!

yeeeargh: I'm not sure about the downloadcode, if someone doesn't download it, it isn't part of the release for them.

:D

http://musicbrainz.org/release/0ec67913-5de5-4c... <-- an example of a CD + Vinyl release which is the same album.

http://musicbrainz.org/release/18715b52-3a80-4f... <-- in a way this is also an example of that, each disc is included twice -- once as separate tracks and once as a continuous mix of all tracks.

the download code is coupled to the vinyl. so i guess i could skip the digital release since it seem that this is common to do with vinyl+downloadcode

if the download code gets you a download which can also just be purchased, I wouldn't bother adding it. If it is unique to this release, that would be a more interesting situation.

yeah,... that whole downloadcode situation is a bit weird since it’s handled in a different ways depending on the release and the content of the download itself

but i'll add this release without the digital medium for now

perhaps the key thing is "code"

yeeeargh: what if the release contained a voucher with which you could separately obtain another physical copy (casette? :) of the same album.

if the "code" would contain other bonus material instead of a copy of the release itself you would add the bonus material as a seperate medium i guess

yeeeargh: we'd probably enter that a separate release, even though it is only available to those who obtained the first release.

good point

i guess it's hard to cover each and every case, let alone the cases people come up with in the future

next question: should i add a new label for this http://www.discogs.com/label/183779-Warner-Musi... or add an alias to this one http://musicbrainz.org/label/9622fc5c-0562-473c...

getting 502s

Congrats! :)

:P

I guess I'm not alone then ?

I'm not on MB right now and no one else has said anything.

So maybe you are!

we're all alone on a spec of dust in a cold, dark void!

hehe, 502 are gone now, perhaps just a hiccup

all that dust makes it sneeze

Are there any import scripts or something for FreeDB?

I seem to recall a function on the site once, but it seems it's only doing already-existing stubs now.

should i add a new label for this http://www.discogs.com/label/183779-Warner-Musi... or add an alias to this one http://musicbrainz.org/label/9622fc5c-0562-473c...

yeeeargh: I would say new label

am i missing something or isn't there an acapella attribute for work-recording relations like we have for instrumentals?

yeeeargh: I don’t think so

what would be better in that case? don't relate them or relate them without any attributes

i guess i'll leave them for now. easier to spot them when such an attributes gets introduced at some time

Freso: yo

but the web interface allows you to select events now

errr, that was the case last we talked too

but you need it for things like the IRC hook and what not

so, yeah, ^^^

VxJasonxV: Cheers. :)

Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up musicbrainz-server on OSX Mavericks. Is this the right place where I can ask a question or two?

yes

gcw: I would probably ask in #musicbrainz-devel - but here probably works as well.

alrighty, I'm attempting to make postgressql-musicbrainz-collate but it's trying to include a header file from libicu that make can't find

specifically: unicode/utypes.h

But I have icu install via homebrew and the file exists

Even specifying the direct include path to make fails

(One reason to use -devel is that ianmcorvidae is in there and not here, and he's one of the people that can help with those things you ask about. :))

Ok, if you don't know, I can try there

+1

here is ok, -devel is marginally better

hehe, ok. Well, any ideas before I jump over to -devel?

Yeah. Most people here are also in -devel.

(And vice versa, if you needed that spelled out. :p)

Even if there are some exceptions.

gcw: I would probably ask the question in -devel and then leave your IRC client open for some hours and see if anyone responds.

People are in different timezones with differing schedules, so those who may be able to respond, may not be around this very second. (E.g., I asked a question at 16:30 my time today and got the reply at 23:00.)

ok, probably doesn't help that I'm asking at the start of a weekend either, eh? :p

The People Who Know(tm) are still around, but the delays may be a bit longer. :)

kk, thx
