Here's some output when the script is run

I'll run it myself too and see if I can work out where the problem is

Sure.

Please try running the "mapper_gen_names.py" script

and maybe we can talk more tomorrow to see if we find the issue?

do I need to run something first to generate the parquet data files?

Yes that's right

please run the "gen_tables.py" script for the same

great

Also, if you're free right now can we discuss the timeline for this project?

yes, let's do it

when do you start classes?

My classes are active now, and the schedule goes is from 9AM to 4:30 PM

I sometimes do overtime in case there's extra work. But mostly, I am free by 6PM

so, in my opinion I think it really makes sense that you scale back your SoC time, perhaps to part time. we can extend out the end of the project to compensate for this

Right

How much do you think we'd need to extend it?

a regular project is 12 weeks, and we did the first 6 weeks fine, then you had your break for exams and this trip.

so we could extend the last 6 weeks out to another 12 if you need the time

Sounds fair

On the flipside, a lot of the work is already done and as far as I understand mostly figuring out the artist conflation issue is left

So would we even need to extend the last 6 weeks to 12?

yeah, that's true. if we think that we'll get it finished soon then perhaps we don't need too much more time

Right, even parts of the script are already there, and we even have run through the complete dataset once

the final week for the regular project length is September 12, I absolutely recommend that we extend by some time

perhaps not another 12 weeks, but I don't think we'll have time to finish in the next 4 weeks

Definitely

We could maybe extend it by 3-4 weeks?

I'm sure we'll also have a bit of additional flexibility... if we extend to 12 but finish in 8 then I don't see any problem. However if we only extend to 8 but find that we need more time to finish, then that may cause problems

Yes, the GSoC guidelines probably won't allow 2 extensions

from my perspective, I think we still need 6 weeks of full time work on the project, and given your additional commitments I think that extending it to another 12 from this week would be a good idea (I think that would end up being ~20 weeks in total - 6 full time + 2 weeks off just now + 12 more (~= remaining 6 at part time)

That sounds better, just to be on the safer side

al-bondigas, cc bitmap: The initial error message comes indeed from trying to create a database in standalone mode with usual dumps (derived but not editor) for mirror.

The standalone mode is purposed for development setup which loads sample data dump instead. That’s why this case never occurred before.

I added checks to createdb.sh to prevent this case from occurring again.

tandy1000: oops, artist redesign ticket if you haven't found it already: MBS-12349

MBS-12349: Redesign of Artist page https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12349

Hello akshaaatt , I was working on the BrainzPlayer Activity, which has multiple screens like songs, artists, albums playlists. I was wondering, to populate each screen, which have different repositories, should I create 1 viewmodel which has all repositories, or should I just create different viewModels and instantiate each in the activity?

Which approach is better design wise?

yvanzo: thanks for looking into it. another issue was how come 'admin/configure rm musicbrainz-standalone' didn't unset MUSICBRAINZ_STANDALONE_SERVER. does that mean it was still set in the .env file?
