Hmmm... that throws up an interesting issue. If changes are made down-stream in your sqlCVS how do you get those changes back upstream? Whats the thinking about how this will be managed?

have not discussed that with Daniel or pluto yet (all are busy with the 0710). I'm still busy staring at the sqlCVS code to explore the innards. Great stuff that is. Some brilliant mind came up with that. But from what i have seen in my journey it does not fit for that task at the moment. I'm still awaiting response from pluto. We will discuss the topic after Daniel's vacation. My first task was to do a rudimentary "batch viewer" to see the affected rows. The biggest thing hindering me from automatic merging at the moment is the id reordering. How should the script now if eg a devicetemplate is the same in the two repos if they have different id's..
Other than that it should be pretty easy to extend sqlCVS for some "merge" option to pull a specific batch from another repo and push it into the local database (without psc and stuff). That changes could then be checked in upstream.

But maybe I'm completely wrong...

you're right !
however some features are still not implemented !

what is missing for you?

Hy,
knx become famous in europe with more than 100 manufacturer as abb hagger legrand... it's the new version of the eib !

it's a new name for the EIB

if you have a FT1.2 bus connector it should work fine with pluto.

250GB over "100Mbps" ethernet/SMB (Windows Share) will never get 100Mbps, maybe more like 40Mbps, or even less. So that 2Tb will take 5000s, or about half an hour, at best, possibly much longer.

With correct network and host configuration you should be able to get at about 11 megabytes per second over 100mbit.

Your Windows machines get 88Mbps over 100Mbps ethernet?

no, but my linux machines with samba
i'm no windows guy but even nt4 was able to saturate a 100FD serving big files when configured properly.

When the Pluto guys attempted to check my template was checked into the pluto sqlcvs server, they encountered problems due to the fact that I had checked it into Hari's server earlier.  Dan, if your templates are already checked into the plut sqlcvs server, there may be the same issues checking into Hari's sqlcvs server.

yeah, that of course leads to problems. With sqlCVS a client can only be synchronized to one repository (the one from which it imported the .sqlcvs dumps).

Hari, Will that also handle things lik PNP Detection scripts?
How do I handle 'external' files?

they go into the svn:
http://svn.charonmedia.org/trac.cgi/browser/trunk/src/pnp_detection_scripts

bulek: i already did a script for the Marantz SR detection:
http://svn.charonmedia.org/trac.cgi/browser/trunk/src/pnp_detection_scripts/20_MarantzReceiver.sh
after resorting sqlCVS things we have to insert the final DeviceTemplate id.
Can you add the marantz template to a fresh 0704 installation after running the sqlcvs sync script (http://sqlcvs.charonmedia.org/ReinitSqlCVS.sh)? You could then check in and i could test it with my 7001

EDIT:
you have to refer to the script from the DHCPDevice Table (referred by DeviceTemplate):

Code:

| PnpDetectionScript | varchar(25) | YES  |     | NULL              |                |

the field should hold the scriptname without path. Can be done in the pluto-admin (device template).

Xine has been customized for LMCE and you will have a mess on your hands if you muck with it. I hear that Xine will be replaced in the next release any week now so just wait.

as far as i got it for now the xine wrapper simply uses libxine without modifications. Xine won't be replaced for now. Mplayer was added as an additional media player.

Oh, BTW, I'm in the same boat... 

I need to update sqlcvs too.....

Hari, any word of wisdom here??

for now we had to reset the repository to provide some developing sqlCVS service, the local database has to be resynchronized after a fresh 0704 installation (there is a script for that, see the sqlCVS thread). After that you can checkin your local changes and pull updates from the database.
After daniel's return we will see how to include the dump from the new repo in the 0710.
sqlCVS makes it easy to identify which rows are affected by a batch (for example see Zaerc's addition for the Logitech webcam: http://sqlcvs.charonmedia.org/sqlcvs/?site=batch/detail&repository=dce&batchid=-2).
The next step for me will be a crude perl hack to merge a batch between two repositories. The final "merge" code should maybe go into the sqlCVS binary, there are already some routines to sort out id collisions.

Any better thoughts?

Hari

I'm trying to install 704, as a first-timer trying to familiarise myself with LinuxMCE before 710 is released.

I keep having a problem with AppServer not starting up, and a black screen saying not all devices have successfully started up (not the exact wording).

I've installed several times, each time doing a fresh install with different installation options - with/without DCHP server, with/without different hardware, always with the same error.

So, what does device #15, AppServer do, and what can affect it during startup? Any ideas?

iirc the appserver segfaults when using amixer without a sound card. Do you have a sound card?

so any 803.af injector should work ok. not sure why my prestandard cisco injector didnt.

oh, i hope they work with the old 7905 phones.. i will post my results,

Hari

so i tried the PWR-INJ3 from the Cisco Aironet Series (very cheap, "dumb" injector) with the 7905. Worked like a charm. When I am back in Berlin i will try with the 7970, too.

(Hey, this is another reason for moving to a mailing list  )

we have a list

I would expect the real Beta will be the 3.8g version...

thats what i got from daniel...

btw, look at your post count
