Dear Open Source developer I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate. You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it. With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development. With many thanks for your participation, Benno Luthiger PS: The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/. We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________ |

Hello: After much testing I am pleased to announce the release of the MP3 database version 2.8-final. MP3DB2 is a collection of bash scripts for keeping track of large MP3 collections. It will retrieve song information from the filenames and ID3 tags of a directory or CD of MP3s and store them in a local database. It then allows you to search any of the fields, generate a master listing of all your complete albums, see the size of your entire collection, and more. The 2.8 development cycle has focused primarily on making the scripts easier to install. There is now an interactive configuration script that can be run at install time to generate the configuration file and make sure all of the path names are valid. The configuration file is now stored in the file '.mp3db2rc' in the user's home directory. Christian Webber has also contributed a set of scripts that can be used to convert the database to HTML. These scripts were integrated so that they will use the .mp3db2rc configuration file generated by configure. There were also many small bug fixes and documentation updates made during 2.8 development. Take a look at the changes file in the package for a complete list of changes. All of the database and index files still use the same format so there should be no need to regenerate the program indexes. You can find a tar ball of version 2.8 at the following URL: http://mp3db2.sourceforge.net/mp3db2-2.8.tar.gz The projects homepage is: http://mp3db2.sourceforge.net/ Please report any bugs you may find to the discussion mailing list: mp3...@li... or directly to me: gr...@us.... |

I have released version 2.8.17 of mp3db2. http://mp3db2.sourceforge.net/mp3db2-devel.diff The 2.8 release is scheduled for next Tuesday. Hopefully there are no bugs found and 2.8.17 can become the actual release in a week. Today's batch of changes is just some prep work for the actual release. ChangeLog follows: Tue Oct 7 18:13:58 EST 2003 ground/X README: Added information about the development mailing list. configure: Disabled some debugging code in preparation for release. get_dev_version: now patches version 2.8.17-this will be the release in one week if no bugs are found. |

I have created a pre-release version of mp3db2-2.8. I have done some limited testing on this code and I've fixed the bugs I've found, but I'm sure there are some left. I'd like to find these before the final release so if you're using mp3db2 please give this version a test run. I have completely changed the configuration system. There should be no more need to edit mp3db.cfg or any of the scripts even if you're not running from $HOME/mp3db2. I have also changed the name of the configuration file from $HOME/mp3db2/mp3db.cfg to $HOME/.mp3db2rc - this seems more Unix-like. All that really should be required is an untar, configure, and use. I am especially interested in any installation problems as all of this code is new in this version. You can grab the tar ball of the pre-release version at: http://mp3db2.sourceforge.net/mp3db2-2.8.16-snapshot.tar.gz There is also a test database: http://mp3db2.sourceforge.net/mp3db2-sample_catalog.tar.gz Please report any bugs you find to the discussion mailing list mp3...@li... or directly to me gr...@us... The changelog from version 2.7 to 2.8.16 follows: :41:27 EST 2003 ground/X configure: Fixed a bug that was causing the html_dir variable to be written to the configuration file incorrectly. Thu Oct 2 16:33:20 EST 2003 ground/X configure: Now offers to make data_dir, ndx_dir, and html_dir if they do not exist. mp3size: uses new configuration file. mp3dupe: uses new config file. makeplete: Uses new config file. mp3db.cfg: goes away now contained in configure script. README: Documented new config file. README: Documented contrib directory README: changed my email address gr...@us... README: updated docs for configure script README,mp3dupe,get_dev_version: removed references to mp3db.cfg Wed Oct 1 20:09:36 EST 2003 ground/X mp3gen: now uses new config file mp3ndx: now uses new config file mp3ndx: code cleanup-don't try to change to the data directory at the top of the script before we have a chance to run load_cfg. Sun Sep 28 18:14:44 EST 2003 ground/X unfinished/load_cfg: First version of this generic function that will be used in all scripts to load the configuration file. Each script will need to include its own copy of this function however since script_path is defined in the configuration file. mp3: now uses the new configuration file. Wed Sep 24 02:33:14 EST 2003 ground/X configure: Fix a small typo in the configuration file. configure: Try to make ndx and html_dir dynamic in configuration file since they both depend on $ndx_dir configure: Change the default data directory to $HOME/mp3cat and the default index directory to $HOME/mp3cat-ndx. configure: All values assigned to variables in the configuration file are now in double quotes as was the case in mp3db.cfg. Tue Sep 23 21:49:57 EST 2003 ground/X configure: Added default configuration variables from mp3db.cfg. these were imported from unfinished/initvars. configure: can now save the configuration file to disk. configure: The configuration file is now saved as .mp3db2rc in the user's home directory. This is how it should have been at the start of the project. configure: Imported the interactive configuration menu all settings can now be edited in the configure script. The only exception is the "contributed packages" section at the end of the config file. Right now the configure script is the only thing using the new .mp3db2rc file. By the time 2.8 release happens I hope to have all utilities using this new file so mp3db.cfg can be removed from the distribution. Thu Sep 18 03:50:21 EST 2003 ground/X mp3db.cfg: Added another variable for mp3db_html that I had missed. Wed Sep 17 15:49:21 EST 2003 ground/X mp3db.cfg: Added variables for the mp3db to html converter in contrib/mp3dbhtml Sun Jun 8 21:16:07 EST 2003 README: included a URL to the development diff. README: added a note asking users to include "mp3db2" in the subject line if they email. Sat Apr 19 16:46:56 EST 2003 ground/X contrib/mp3db_html: Added a database to HTML converter submitted by Christian Webber. This may still need some tuning before the 2.8 release happens. contrib: Added this directory for contributed projects. |
