Ten months ago, I started to look at other version control systems because I was fed up with the Subversion centralized model. It tested Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, etc.. Bazaar was the good choice because it allowed the dev teams to make branches easily in a decentralized environment, to push commits to the old subversion repository, to keep an easy syntax, etc...

Now there are few reasons to switch back to Git:

• we want to checkout and test branches faster without managing dozens of repositories,
• we do not want to upload 500 ko of data for a 1 line commit,
• we want to push the generic Telemeta to GitHub.

Sorry Bzr folks, I like your stuff, but Git is more appropriate now for this project.

Developers, please ​update your skills :)

What you need to do with the new repository:

• Get the lastest development version to try the lastest useful features :

  git clone http://vcs.parisson.com/git/telemeta.git
  

• To get the CREM's branch:

  git clone http://vcs.parisson.com/git/telemeta.git
  git checkout crem
  

• You can also ​follow / fork the project on GitHub !

• To get write access to the main repository (i.e. git+ssh://vcs.parisson.com/var/git/telemeta.git), please contact us by email.

NB : ​This is the good method to convert a Bzr repo.

Voici le communiqué de presse du CREM mis à jour pour le projet :

Acknowledgments

We want to thank all the participants to this 5 year project from 2006 to now. Telemeta 1.0 is the result of a very hard and passionate work of many people. We hope this project will help communities to get their audio archives out of their desks and then allow many international research collaborations and better music harvesting.

​Bazaar is now our version control system. Please see below how to checkout our development version.

Sorry, some merges between svn, git and bzr have broken the continuity of the repository since r538. But all old revision logs and changes have been kept so that you can retrieve all the history of the app development.

Bother with SVN branching, have tried GIT, but now switching to ​BZR.

Bazaar allowed me to merge svn and our young git repo. It is a great versioning tool written in python.

Get it ​here.

It is the last version before the inclusion of our new full ​TimeSide API and tools.

Many changes (154 commits !) in models, add a GEO Navigator, MANY bugfixes. See Changelog.

In the perspective of Telemeta 1.0, most parts of the code are currently being refactored.

In this context, you should expect the SVN trunk to be very unstable.
You may not be able to use it at all until we're done actually...

So please be patient. We will warn you here once things get better, and that we get closer to the beta stage.

We're very happy to announce that the CREM has ordered us to develop Telemeta 1.0 which will be released on january 2010.

You can follow the desired features and their development on the ticket list.

It includes many bug fixes concerning metadata encoding and now drives an [​http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Archives_Initiative_Protocol_f or_Metadata_Harvesting OAI-PMH] Data Provider allowing Telemeta's DublinCore metadata to be externally harvested.

It includes some fundamental [http://telemeta.org/log changes] as a completely new and dynamical player thanks to Timeside and Soundmanager2, new analysis plugins and templating methods. Enjoy ! ;)
