<Steap>That Python thing is tricky. <Fulax>Steap: yes, the Gentoo way of handling python modules is far from simple <civodul>are you in a position to upload the GHM videos? <mark_weaver>civodul: I don't know for sure though. I haven't used that access in many years. <civodul>lucasaiu: what the URL of your server already? <mark_weaver>lucasaiu: thank you! please give me a few minutes to investigate what I need to do to upload these. <mark_weaver>It seems likely that I no longer have the necessary access to upload, despite my vestigial membership in that group. or perhaps I've simply forgotten how to do it. <lucasaiu>mark_weaver: shall we write to somebody? <mark_weaver>It looks like they could use some help anyway. I'll write to the sysadmins and ask to reinstate my access. <mark_weaver>Thanks for making the videos! I've already watched most of them :) <lucasaiu>Actually most of the work was done by the people who shot the videos <lucasaiu>So, please let me know if there's any problem <lucasaiu>I'd like to link each video from the official GHM page when everything's done *mark_weaver is working on it <lucasaiu>Sometimes rediscovering an old password is like meeting an old friend again :-) <lucasaiu>In the beginning I was worried about machine load, but I saw that it's no problem <mark_weaver>I found it very energizing to watch the GHM videos. Lots of exciting work being done. Maybe next year I'll ask the FSF for travel funds. <lucasaiu>Yes, I had the same sensation as well. It's very motivating to see that people are energetic about their GNU work. <lucasaiu>So you're just rsync'ing me from my server <lucasaiu>If you do that without renaming files, it will be particularly easy to add links <lucasaiu>Actually it's not really necessary, but it might look good <mark_weaver>If you wanted to write up the HTML, that would be helpful :) <mark_weaver>I certainly agree that we should have an index.html, as well as a pointer to it from the main audio-video page. <lucasaiu>If I understand correctly, audio-video is separate from www; so it doesn't use the same HTML templates <lucasaiu>(of course, I'll add links; there will be a little information duplication, but this information is "stable" so I don't think it's serious) <mark_weaver>lucasaiu: if you request membership to the audio-video group on savannah, I'd be glad to give you access. <lucasaiu>So is it managed via CVS, like the rest of gnu.org? <lucasaiu>My username on Savannah is "positrone", with a final E. I was young and naïf :-). <mark_weaver>I can see that the web pages are managed via CVS. I haven't looked at the GNU web servers in the while, so I don't know what the current practices are. <mark_weaver>but I suppose you could use one of the earlier GHM pages there as a guide. <mark_weaver>lucasaiu: here's what to do: CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d:ext:positrone@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/audio-video co . <lucasaiu>Ok, this isn't written anywhere, so it's important <mark_weaver>yes, it was not as easy to figure out on savannah as I'd like. <mark_weaver>also, the top-level "Readme" file in that CVS repository explains how to upload the media files (using rsync) <lucasaiu>I don't plan to do anything "traumatic", anyway <mark_weaver>lucasaiu: btw, in case it wasn't clear: I finished downloading the files from you long ago, so you could remove the files from your server.
