Reviews

@aerozol

The main thing of interest was probably getting close to a final for the LB landing page, something I spent a while on because it’s a ‘high value’ kind of page
LB-1127: Illustrations for the home page
Thanks to mayhem and monkey for final feedback, and everyone else who commented
Otherwise some YIM stuff, a meeting with monkey, and the quite a bit of social media channels. We have some pretty cool Mastodon followers!

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last Monday I was finishing up a batch of test suite conversion, I already talked about it at last meeting but I’m happy about the result.
I spent the rest of the week preparing the year in music page, with good results !
And as aerozol said we had a good video chat
That’s all I have on my time sheet. Huh, I really did spend the whole week on YIM…

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] Last week, I finished the changes suggested by monkey and aerozol for the fresh release page.
Other than that I worked on BrainzPlayer queues, and opened a PR for that.
Also I picked up the work on Artist Similarity Graph, and have started refactoring and finishing the project.
Other than that, I was a bit busy as my end semester examinations are starting this week.

@CatQuest

[ApeKattQuest] I’ve had an abrupt end at the finish line due to a cold (again, sigh)
other than that I’m working on general stuff
this week will be very busy with my birthday on saturday

@reosarevok

I spent a lot of last week improving and rebasing old PRs for bitmap to review
Including a lot of huge refactoring things - our Perl code now has more commas in the right places and less semicolons in the wrong places
Other than that, the usual dealing with reports and whatnot
And debugging why test.mb had suddenly started requiring a verified email to edit

@snaekboi

[Pratha-Fish] Nothing much from me this week either.
Looking forward to deploying the area management project soon
as soon as I get my coding gear back, that is
That’s mostly it for me. Just forced to chill

@jasjeet

[jasje] last week was exams and college stuff for me

@bitmap

last week I mostly worked on [MBS pull 3111] [MBS pull 3113] [MBS pull 3114]
so some refactoring, artist credit editor improvements, and external links editor bug fixes
still fixing some test failures in the latter two
other than that, I was pretty much just doing code review

@kellnerd

Last week I was working on MB userscripts a bit (further experiments with my credit parser/importer, Discogs artwork importer fix).
Originally I also wanted to work on my Harmony release seeder again, but soon found a critical bug in the SQL of my caching logic with which I had to deal first.
It went unnoticed for a month and also was not covered by my tests… and I had thought this was my project with the best test coverage

@lucifer

last week, i worked on resolving SEC alerts in LB and CB. the CB took quite a long while but I took the opportunity to upgrade other depedencies as well.
did some regular dependency maintenance in LB. also went through tickets, picked up and fixed misc bugs mostly related to cover art.

@zas

Last week, I updated telegraf (in Ansible) in an attempt to fix minor issues on some servers, I had to partly revert one patch, because it wasn’t working as expected (Ansible groups issue)
I did usual user support, system upgrades, general maintenance and supervision
plus few PRs reviews and MB edits.

@rob

[mayhem] last week was catching up on business stuff and trying to get amazon and spotify to pay us – what a pain!
I also spent a lot of time finishing some PRs and improving the testing PR to prevent tests from running in prod – there were some issues with the previous PR.
good progress overall
and in the evenings I’ve been coding on listenbrainz-local, making good progress there too. hoping for the first locally created playlist being uploaded to navidrome later today. fingers crossed!

@yvanzo

Last week I attempted to review some pull requests, and mostly worked on evaluating search indexer again.
An update on security alerts: no SEC ticket but for our IRC logger is currently opened, thanks to lucifer for doing the regular maintenance.
Last, I’m calling [developers] for propositions of open source organization/developer to make our first year donations as per Summit 23.
Reminder: We are targeting projects that are used by our own projects and not widely funded already.
I will mostly reuse the list that mayhem started in 2022 but it is still open.

@atj

[after meeting] I made a start in fixing some issues with the telegraf ansible role highlighted by zas

absent: akshaaatt (is on holiday)

[vzell]

@kellnerd: I just read that you were working on your credit parser/importer

The “Import relationships from a discogs release in to a MusicBrainz release” userscript from Matt Goldspink is now in a very good shape (after it was fixed to work under the new react implementation)… see

mattgoldspink/musicbrainz-userscripts/blob/feature_fix_always_render_button/import-relationships-from-discogs.user.js

[tigerman325]

This has quit working for me. I get the following on everything it tries to add: “Error: Input not found: #add-relationship-dialog-root .entity-type. Is modal open?” using MS Edge or “TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘value’)” when trying it on Chrome.

[vzell]

I already wrote to Matt about it … let’s see if he can do something about it …

[vzell]

Matt just fixed it …
