gdfs -- The so-called "gPodder download folder synchronizer"
============================================================
When using a filesystem that supports hard links (ext2/ext3, reiserfs,
...), and you have your download directory on the same filesystem
(partition) as the folder where you want your downloads to appear,
you can use these scripts to create a hard-linked mirror of your
downloads with easy-to-use, human-readable names.
These scripts are not yet incorporated into gPodder, as they are mostly
untested (although they "work for me"(tm)). If there are any problems,
suggestions, bug reports (basically anything at all), just mail our
mailing list:
gpodder-devel@lists.berlios.de
To use these scripts with SVN versions of gPodder, you have to set the
$PYTHONPATH variable according to the text below ("src/" subdir of
your working tree).
-- Thomas Perl <thp@perli.net>, 2007-11-08
============================================================
Here is the original mail with instructions, from
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/gpodder-devel/2007-November/001140.html
============================================================
I've been working on a compatible hard-linking system that will
preserve the download folder structure, generate a new structure that
(given it resides on the same filesystem as the download folder and it
supports hard links) will not use any additional hard disk space and is
even compatible with renames.
Save the two attached scripts somewhere in your $PATH and don't forget
to set the PYTHONPATH variable to the "src/" subfolder of your SVN
checkout, so the scripts will find the gPodder libraries.
Usage: gdfs-init.py [--yes] [Podcasts dir]
Populates "Podcasts dir" with hard links from gPodder's
downloads folder. "Podcasts dir" should be on the same
filesystem as the downloads folder, and the filesystem
has to support hard links.
If "Podcasts dir" already exists, the script will ask
to overwrite its contents and re-build the mirror.
The optional "--yes" parameter will skip the overwrite
question and foribly re-build the folder if it exists.
Usage: gdfs-check.py [from-gpodder|from-podcasts] [Podcasts dir]
If you have deleted episodes from your Podcast mirror
folder, use "from-podcasts" to get a list of files
that you have to delete from gPodder's download
folder to "sync" with your podcast mirror.
If you have deleted episodes in gPodder, you can use
"from-gpodder" to get a list of files that are still
available in your podcasts dir, but not in gPodder's
download directory.
So, basically, to get things going, download the two scripts to your
Desktop, run "python gdfs-init.py --yes Podcasts" and you should have
your podcasts in human-readable folder and file names on your Desktop.
You can always refresh this "mirror" of your download directory by
running the same command again, which will overwrite the old "Podcasts"
folder.
