Reviews

@rob

[mailed in] [mayhem] I’m off on vacation this week, but last week I spent doing the usual MeB background chores and some travel arrangements for the summit and such. I’ve got some updates on supporters, but I’ll hold that for a week, in case there are question. (hint: win some, lose some. zero sum)
I also spent some time working with Lucifer about how to build a scalable fuzzy MBID mapping lookup system. This process is very much 2 steps forward, 3 steps at any given time. Challenging and a pain in the ass all at the same time.
I handled a SEC ticket for meb, merged a PR for ericd and started looking at some troi bugs and issues that have come my way, but no real progress on this front yet.
But now its time to go down to the creek, splash about and try to keep cool.

@yvanzo

[mailed in] Last half-time week again, I reviewed PRs (yay React event editing form), helped reosarevok with releasing MBS, plus usual GSoC mentoring, and support.
Away for the week!

@ercd

[mailed in] [ericd] Last week I implemented feed for recommendation playlist. This week I will take a look at feed UI and cover arts.

@kubrimskii

[mailed in] [rimskii] Hi everyone! On this weekends I returned to my home, so spending quality time with my family
In the past week, I’ve made significant progress on the Apple and SoundCloud export features in Troi
I restructured the codebase and created two dedicated classes for these services to streamline API call management.
Additionally, I updated the code to support playlist generation for Apple and SoundCloud, and I’m now focusing on resolving unplayable tracks for these platforms. Hope to open a PR in the next few days
I also discussed ticket LB-1599 with aerozol and monkey , and I anticipate closing it within a few days.

@theflash

[theflash_] Had an tiring interview today at campus
Other than than working on my dashboard tasks

@bitmap

last week I worked on MBS-13703 and some changes related to the Flow upgrades reosarevok was working on
[MBS-13703: Recognize tokens issued by the MeB OAuth Provider]
plus a bit more on some commits to support pull 3334
[[WIP] MBS-6741: Include area containment in WS responses]
did the usual testing code/review of open PRs, and had the weekly GSoC meetings with our two MB stars

@lucifer

last week, i worked on exploring ways to improve MBID mapping/search resource usage, had a meeting with LB team to discuss open tasks, reviewed some PRs.

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last week I continued polishing the LB stats page, made some good progress and I’m finally happy with the result
[LB stats test page] for the curious, feedback welcome
Investigated a webpack error, looked into Spotify import a bit more, and had a chat about the LB roadmap
I closed a whole bunch of old / unapplicable tickets, a good spring cleaning in the middle of summer when the brain can’t work well.
And last but not least reviewed and discussed progress of kellnerd’s GSOC project.

@kellnerd

Last week I finished my import, edit and approve tests for all 6 BB entity types (with all fields which can be populated so far).
Especially editions and series required a bit more work, for the latter I still had to add the missing pages and server routes
Also passed my GSoC midterm evaluations and got positive feedback from monkey
Meanwhile, the necessary schema changes to support relationships for imported entities are ready now, I only have to run the migration script before I can start fixing the impacts on the website.
(Was about to that right when the meeting started)
Additionally I helped out ROpdebee with reviewing a few small userscript PRs and issues.

@zas

Last week I reviewed and merged even more very good PRs from twodoorcoupe GSoC project
I upgraded Grafana
I unblocked / blocked few IPs, and did usual supervision
plus MB edits and minor things.

@twodoorcoupe

last week I continued working on making image processing multithreaded
then I worked on Picard’s multithreading options themselves
about to do that right
also added a bunch of unit tests

@outsidecontext

I returned from vacation yesterday. so no much, but managed to look into some tickets and do code review for twodoorcoupe .
Currently looking into some strange Picard crash on macOS, which I had already started investigating before my vacation. But currently I’m stuck there. Seems to be some weird threading issue which is not always reproducible.
But will continue trying to narrow this down. It’s PICARD-2914 for those interested
[PICARD-2914: macOS: Crash when opening options with Spanish UI]

@Ashutosh_Aswal

[yellowhatpro] last week winded up archival implementation, added more sentry captures
refactored the messy code pointed by rustynova (thanks sempai o7)
Explored some prometheus docs to be configured with the rust project
But yeah, most of the core implementation is done, all there left is monitoring, tests and tests, and later deployment

@JadedBlueEyes

[Jade] Last week was a busy one
In no particular order:
We’ve moved mb-mail-service to the metabrainz org
I’ve improved the Github Actions pipeline:

• I’ve switched out a bunch of the actions used to ones that will show annotations in the github UI
• A new step shows tests run/passed/skipped/failed in the github UI
• Code coverage is automatically checked and reported

We’ve fully set up website integration!

• Weblate will push to the translations branch. When new translations are added, and action will automatically create a PR and run tests on it.
• This could be set up to automatically merge the PR in future too

Thank you to everyone who helped with getting weblate working!
I’ve added /available_locales and /healthcheck routes
And added a working healthcheck to the Docker image
I sped up Docker builds, and other misc improvements
Added Prometheus metrics monitoring support
Created an example Dockerfile with the mail service, a SMTP catcher, Prometheus and Grafana set up
Improved text formatting of emails (This got merged upstream!)
Finished improvements to configuration
And finally I added some tests, increasing coverage by 1.75x (lines) / 2.4x (functions)
(I almost didn’t believe all of this was this week when I was putting this list together )

@ansh

Last week, I mostly spent time on some final changes on BrainzPlayer SPA. Since this is a big PR, this week, we’ll put it out on BETA for the community to test and report any bugs they encounter.
Other than that I worked on adding new stats on LB page.
And, after a long summer break, I’ve finally moved back to my college for my final year of my degree.

@akshaaatt

Last week was kinda meh. Just some usual investigations on bug reports from people on the lb android app and staring at some code.
Looking forward to PRs this week from our coders. Other than that, next week looks promising.

@reosarevok

Last week I spent quite a bit of time trying to fix MBS-13707 (a new beta regression) without just reverting the code that introduced it
[MBS-13707: beta.mb: Work table: artist and length columns shift one to the left]
Also MBS-9373 to make user management more nuanced
[MBS-9373: Split voting and editing privilege revoking]
And a bunch of smaller tickets
Plus Spanish translation, support, community stuff

@CatQuest

[LupinIII] doing picard translations! I finished the norw installer and am now working on the website!
otherwise it seems we’re actually getting some sun this week so trying to actually go out and such. doing other offline things like fix windows and cut grass at a community garden thing.

@jasjeet

[jasje] nothing much to report last week, its been a very busy week.
