Host DR14 T.meter packages on Github
Closed this issue · 10 comments
I tried installing DR14 T.meter from Sourceforge, but the domain tiny.cc is blocked in Malware Domains hosts file and I don't want to visit that site. Can you move the packages to a more safe location?
I'm not sure if Sourceforge has made some changes recently or the domain has been just added to MD hosts file. Also, Fedora rpm package worked without any issues on openSUSE so you might want to add openSUSE as a supported platform.
tiny.cc is an URL shortening.
I've never noticed any problem whit this service.
Ok for Suse.
Well, at least uBlock Origin blocks sourceforge.com by default and many users don't want to go to that website. I'd rather install from here or I have to compile from source.
sourceforge.com is filled with announcements, but it don't seems a pishing/malaware site.
Strange.

If by any means possible, please move everything to Github.
The situation:
Actually the package hosting on github has been removed, via github it's possible to download only the git tag; so it's impossible to offers the distro related packages. Maybe I'm moving on doropbox.
For the home page: Sourceforge offers the possibility to install mediawiki, and it's extremely comfortable for maintaining a good looking site.
Tnx for the links.
Hi all!
Note that GitHub releases can also contain binary files:

Do you use URL shortening services or was that done by Sourceforge? Please don't if you can decide.
@ SzieberthAdam
Yes actually I'm using this release system, but it's based only on the git-tag. And it's de facto impossible to put some distro related packages.
@ reddit-is-fun
I'm using this service.
@07416 it seems it can be installed from pip
$ pip3 search dr14
DR14-T.meter (1.0.16) - Compute the DR14 of a given audio file according to the procedure described by the Pleasurize Music Foundation
https://pypi.python.org/pypi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pip_(package_manager)
If that works then I'm not sure if any other packages are even needed… ;D
@simon-r maybe time to close the issue?
The issue appear to have no current relevance.
