01:18 jcamins Does anyone know if Koha require Apache 2?
02:10 chris nope it doesnt
02:10 chris but you are pretty hard pressed to find a machine running 1.3 anymore .. and i cant think of any good reason to do so :)
02:11 jcamins The server space is free?
02:16 chris thats almost good enough ;)
02:16 jcamins Hm. Any idea what the "Test" Perl dependency is? FreeBSD has Test split up into a gazillion different packages.
02:18 chris mostly Test::More

10:37 chris when you do make install
10:44 Amit left #koha
11:02 custard and on a deb install does it make them owned by root? (so far I've only played around in ubuntu)
11:04 chris installing from the debian packages? or installing from git, or installing from the tarball?
11:05 larsw if I remember correctly, the koha-create script in the koha-common .deb package creates a log directory owned by root, but I could be wrong

13:28 Genji joined #koha
13:28 Genji hiya!  ive got a report of a strange problem... searching for more than one word, in koha 3.06, doesn't work.. no result.
13:34 hdl Genji: mmm incredible
13:34 Genji incredible?
13:34 Genji oh.. this is arabic by the way...
13:36 francharb joined #koha
13:37 chris is it real 3.0.6, using zebra .. or is it your hacked upon and semi upgraded hybrid thingy?
13:38 Genji real 3.0.6, using zebra, some config in zebra has been modified.
13:39 chris must be something specific to the arabic set up, multiple words certainly works in english, and im sure in french too
13:39 kf has the item display in staff changed? I see date last seen and publication details columns?
13:40 kf Genji: do you use ICU for indexing?
13:40 Genji yeah.. icuchain is used..
13:40 Genji cause some transliteration needs to be done..
13:43 francharb left #koha
13:44 kf we have hebrew and icu - I made a quick test, works fine in our 3.1.61
13:45 kf owen: any ideas about my item display problem? showing date last seen and publication details (no content) and no public notes in staff.
13:46 owen kf: Non-xslt display?
13:47 kf hm xslt is on, give me a minute
13:47 kf no change
13:48 kf i think opac notes should be there and Im a bit confused abut the publication details
13:48 owen I'll bet you're looking at a record which is part of a series
13:48 kf hm I think you are right
13:48 owen a 440 tag?
13:48 kf yes
13:49 owen I submitted a bug fix for this problem in the OPAC. Koha thinks the record is a serial (which it is confusing with series)
13:49 kf ah
13:49 kf so its a bug in staff?
13:49 owen Yes, definitely
13:49 kf the item table is also a bit broken, some lines missing
13:50 kf I retested bug 3333
13:50 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3333 major, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, item status for "not for loan" by item type / item is different
13:50 kf I think the first bug I filed
13:50 kf there is a difference in status between opac and staff too...
13:51 kf I will file a bug then, is there a bug for the opac part?
13:53 owen Bug 2375

13:54 owen I wasn't aware of Bug 3333. I'll see if I can look at that one too
13:55 Genji something wrong with this lookup?

14:56 kf nengard: testing amazon features now - did you solve the problem?
14:57 nengard nope
14:57 kf cant find a title with reviews right now, but I think its the data
14:57 nengard and someone else found the same issue as me
14:57 nengard i even tried owen's IDs and it works for him - so it's not an ID issue
14:57 kf yes, that was me ;)
14:57 nengard no not you - someone else
14:57 kf I work with the same IDs we use in our production environments
14:57 kf ah
14:57 kf so we are three
14:57 nengard yes - at least
14:57 kf I dont like errors like that
15:00 kf http://spedr.com/3jnvh - has reviews on amazon.com and .de and I see no reviews :(
15:03 hdl Is the ISBN cleaned before beeing sent ?
15:03 hdl Do you have hyphens in you ISBN data ?
15:04 kf HAH
15:04 kf I found it
15:04 kf sorry hdl :)
15:05 kf I saw an error message in the error log, copied url to browser, got timeout message: corrected date on my virtual box and now the reviews show :)
15:06 kf the only problem I see is that it shows <br /> tags in the review text
15:07 kf and I have Title notes too :)
15:08 kf nengard: is the date/time in your test installation correct?
15:09 nengard how so? on the server?
15:09 kf yes
15:09 Nate joined #koha
15:10 kf but I still dont see reviews in staff...
15:10 brendan joined #koha
15:11 nengard kf i think my time is wrong on the server
15:11 nengard you think that's causing the problem??
15:12 kf it seems the request links to amazon have a date/time coded into them and when your date is too old it does not work
15:12 nengard yeah my server says:  Tue Jun 29 18:34:59 EDT 2010
15:12 nengard trying to figure out how to set it now
15:12 kf I reset the date with date -s "2010-06-30 17:21"
15:15 nengard if that was it i'm going to be so upset!! :)
15:15 nengard trying it now
15:16 nengard OH MY GOODNESS!!! That did it!!!
15:16 nengard kf do you want to write up a short tip for the newsletter??
15:16 owen Jeepers, you kids solved the mystery!
15:17 kf kids? :)
15:17 nengard kf did it - not me
15:17 nengard kf++

15:17 owen You know, Scooby Doo kids ;)
15:17 nengard never saw scooby doo

15:18 kf ok, covers: staff and opac ok, reviews: only opac, title notes: staff and opac ok, similar items: still searching for a working example
15:18 nengard i'm adding an faw to the manual
15:18 kf thx nengard
15:19 nengard and kf should write for the newsletter
15:19 kf I always got bad grades on my english essays...
15:19 nengard and faw = faq
15:19 nengard kf i'll edit it :)
15:19 kf ok, when do you need it?

15:39 munin gmcharlt: The operation succeeded.  Quote #82 added.
15:42 owen Hi gmcharlt
15:42 gmcharlt hi owen
15:43 owen gmcharlt: I have a git question for you. What does it mean to "sign off" on a patch?
15:43 gmcharlt owen: signing off  = giving your stamp of approval on the patch
15:44 gmcharlt e.g., dev A makes a patch, passes it on to dev B at the same organization, who tests and signs off on it
15:44 gmcharlt and that could apply to any number of people in the chain, up to and including the RM
15:45 gmcharlt some projects have a convention of having the original author add their personal sign-off as well
15:45 gmcharlt "I made it, and it is good, or at least not-bad"
15:45 owen That seems redundant
15:45 gmcharlt in some cases, it signfiies a bit more
15:46 gmcharlt e.g., http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html
15:46 gmcharlt where the original author sign-off  is also an assertion that the author has the right to submit the patch in the first place
15:46 jwagner is now known as jwag_mtg
15:48 gmcharlt more history http://kerneltrap.org/node/3929
15:48 owen Do you see a benefit in using this process in Koha's case? Or would we need a more formal QA chain of command?
15:49 gmcharlt well, git makes it easy to manage patch review
15:49 gmcharlt and since 3.4 will have a QA manager
15:49 gmcharlt have a requirement that patches must have sign-offs by QA and RM is easy - that's what was done in 3.0
15:50 gmcharlt what would extend this process, and improve, would be (say) a requirement that a non-trivial patch have at least one non-author signoff before it is submitted
15:50 gmcharlt then would go through QA and RM
15:51 owen So if I had a non-trivial patch I would ask someone else to take a look at it before it got sent?
15:52 gmcharlt right
15:52 pianohack left #koha
15:55 hdl when process is to use branches as development goes on and then merge the branch once it is stable, the sign-off is not handy since you have to reprocess each commit to sign off commits
15:55 hdl But that is another workflow
15:57 gmcharlt right, although adding sign-offs can be automated in that case
15:58 gmcharlt another approach, which I've done at times, is to sign-off on the merge commit

16:04 gmcharlt hi schuster
16:05 schuster It was great to see many of you at ALA...  Thanks for the ideas and suggestions at KUDOS
16:06 schuster When Vicki gets back and settled in we will get the minutes posted from the meeting.  I want to thank PTFS and ByWater again for hosting and providing refreshments.
16:07 schuster For those of you interested I did get a note back from John Brice that the paperwork has been "adjusted" and be resubmitted by the end of July for the 501c3 KUDOS application.
16:07 gmcharlt cool

16:20 druthb hi, cait! :)
16:20 cait hi druthb :)
16:20 owen Hi cait, I have a question about Bug 4922
16:20 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4922 major, P5, ---, paul.poulain, NEW, Wrong item display in staff (wrong columns, no notes)
16:21 cait oh, sorry
16:21 cait for not being clear on bug 3333....
16:21 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3333 major, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, item status for "not for loan" by item type / item is different
16:21 cait whats your question?
16:21 owen Do other kinds of records show your notes?
16:21 owen It looks to me like that is a separate issue
16:22 cait cant check this installation now, because its on my computer at work
16:22 paul_p left #koha
16:22 cait from 440?
16:22 owen Yes. I don't see notes displayed for non-440-tagged records either
16:22 cait I think you are right
16:22 owen (in the staff client)
16:22 cait and it did not show up after I deleted 440
16:23 cait opac is fine and the database entries seemed ok too
16:23 owen What I found is that detail.pl tells the template to display the "publication details" column if '$itemfields{enumchron} || $dat->{'serial'} ,'
16:24 cait does this make sense?
16:24 cait what is shown in publication details, more than enumchron?
16:24 owen I'm going to suggest taking out the '|| $dat->{'serial'}' because actual serial records have their information displayed under a subscriptions tab
16:25 cait this will still work when enumchron is filled?
16:25 owen Yes
16:25 cait because we have serials with items and enumchron :)
16:25 owen With an actual serial record, a different column is shown in the holdings table: "Copy No."
16:26 cait hm
16:26 owen In my test, this column shows information like "Vol 5, No 13, Issue 1"
16:26 owen Would a serial record *also* have enumchron information attached to the item record?
16:26 cait ok, Im a bit confused now :)
16:26 cait yes
16:26 cait ours have
16:26 cait we put the information Vol 5, No 13, Issue 1" in enumchron
16:27 cait and copynumber is for when you have the same item more than once
16:27 owen cait: Are you talking about true Koha-managed subscriptions?
16:27 cait about items and serials
16:27 cait our library does not use serials yet, but we have items at the serial records (they can be checked out and have rfid tags)
16:28 cait as far as I understood serials with items will fill enumchron with the information later
16:28 cait not copy
16:29 owen My example Koha-managed subscription creates item records with the Volume/Number information in Copy Number
16:29 owen Should that be getting put in h - Serial Enumeration / chronology instead?
16:30 owen gmcharlt do you know anything about this?
16:30 cait I think there was a patch somewhere
16:31 gmcharlt owen: it should be going into enumchorn
16:32 owen Okay then... new bug
16:32 cait sometimes its like this.. finding new bugs everywhere :(
16:33 owen Is information like "Vol 5, No 13, Issue 1" properly given the heading "Publication details" ?
16:34 cait we use something like volume/issue
16:35 cait perhaps ask a native speaker :)
16:36 owen Right now enumchron for standard records is displaying under the heading "Publication details" and volume/issue information on serial records is displaying under the heading "Copy no."
16:37 owen I wonder if "Publication details" is the appropriate heading in both cases
16:37 * gmcharlt is a native speaker, but is afriad that his suggestions of "Enumeration/Chronology" is probably too much library-speak
16:41 cait I can translate it to whatever I want ;)
16:41 cait owen: the copy thing sounds strange to me...
16:42 owen Which thing?
16:42 cait the old manual states: Copy number for items that have the same location and call number.
16:43 cait I always thought its for cases where you have more than one item, but can only distinguish them by copynumber
16:43 cait not not only for volumes
16:44 owen Right, you should be able to show copy number and volume numbers in separate columns
16:44 owen You could have more than one copy of the same Volume X
16:45 cait thats an example from our catalog, with enumchron: https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin[…]biblionumber=6358
16:45 cait the column heading iss vol info - its shorter than publication details, but better?
16:46 owen I like "Vol. info" unless someone is going to complain that "volume" is incorrect for serials which use "number"
16:49 cait use enumchron for serials and volume information and copy number for c. 1, c. 3...?
16:49 owen That sounds right
16:50 * owen notices the "Text for OPAC" field controlled by marc_subfields_structure.pl doesn't actually display in the OPAC.
16:51 owen Oh wait, maybe I'm in the wrong framework
16:53 owen Okay, yeah, wrong framework.
16:54 owen Bug 4923

17:02 owen The only reference I can find to enumeration is in a fixed bug: Bug 3380
17:02 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3380 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, RESOLVED FIXED, Serial enumeration / chronology should display in opac holds interface.
17:04 cait I know that one :)
17:05 cait will search a bit, perhaps I can find it
17:26 cait bug 3899
17:26 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3899 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, nengard, RESOLVED FIXED, Receive Serial Item Has Copy Info in Wrong Field
17:28 cait owen: found it
17:29 owen Hmm... Marked as fixed?
17:30 nengard it was
17:30 nengard maybe it has reappeared
17:30 sekjal left #koha
17:30 cait owen: will you look at item notes too or want me to file a separate bug for that?
17:31 owen There really ought to be a separate bug for it
17:31 owen I'm not going to submit a patch for both issues at once
17:33 jwag_mtg is now known as jwagner
17:35 cait ok, will write a new bug
17:36 cait you make me work hard today owen :)
17:36 * owen cracks the whip
17:37 owen Thanks for your efforts cait, I appreciate it!
17:37 cait :)
17:42 druthb cait++
17:46 cait owen: assign bug to you?
17:46 owen Sure, I'll give it a shot
17:47 cait bug 4924
17:47 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4924 major, P5, ---, oleonard, NEW, Public/Internal notes missing in staff normal view
17:51 owen It looks like biblio.serial gets set as 1 for any biblio with a series tag?
17:52 jcamins That explains all the monographis in our database with biblio.serial=1.
17:52 owen Hm... Koha to MARC mapping says biblio.serial is mapped to 942s, "Serial record flag"
17:56 owen I don't get it
18:09 owen Oh great, and on a record which has an actual subscription attached to it biblio.serial is NULL
18:10 * cait sends owen some chocolate

18:11 munin cait: Quote #15: "<|Lupin|>ricardo: you are like the Portuguese Hitchcock!!" (added by wizzyrea at 10:58 AM, July 10, 2009)
18:12 cait munin: I was thinking about the one with the zillion ants
18:12 munin cait: Error: "I" is not a valid command.
18:12 jcamins owen: Do I remember correctly that you submitted a patch that fixed the XSLT stylesheets so that when you clicked on a subject, the link would search for the entire subject, and not just the main entry?
18:13 owen I remember looking at it, but I don't think I came up with a solution
18:14 jwagner collum came up with a partial solution for that -- I poked at it some, and so did he, but we didn't finish it.
18:14 jcamins Ah. Thanks. Any idea how I might find that bug in bugzilla?
18:15 jwagner Bug 4276 (had to go look for it)
18:15 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4276 critical, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, "Related subjects" search is OPAC doesn't work with chained subject terms
18:15 jcamins Thank you.
18:31 owen I'm thinking Liblime ought to change the theme of their public demo given the news that http://www.hclibrary.org/ just went live on Polaris
18:32 owen http://public.demo.kohalibrary.com/
18:36 cait ooh
18:37 cait and they kept the design...
18:38 wizzyrea oh dear
18:39 nengard such a sad story :( was so proud of HC for going all OSS
18:40 druthb Amy still grieves over that a little, I think.
18:41 wizzyrea is it a total windows shop now?
18:41 nengard total proprietary shop
18:41 nengard not sure what kinds
18:42 wizzyrea I know their public access machines were all OSS at one point

18:42 wizzyrea is what they were using
18:43 nengard yup
18:44 nengard i remember
18:44 wizzyrea did they give that up?
18:44 nengard think so
18:44 wizzyrea ew
18:44 nengard that was my impression
18:44 nengard new director
18:44 wizzyrea we had amy at our tech day a couple of years ago talking about their OSS setup
18:46 wizzyrea I think we're thinking of doing something similar with Mint, actually.
18:48 wizzyrea ooh, there's deepfreeze for linux now
19:01 jwagner I'm trying to catch up on some of the very old things on my list (I can actually see portions of my desktop now!).  Working on Bug 3782 -- I tried changing the z39.50 setup for  NYU as jcamins had it in the bug report, but when I send a search, it produces an error:
19:01 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3782 enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, delivered z39.50 targets wrong for NY Public Library and NY University Library
19:01 jwagner Wide character in null operation at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Charset/Table.pm line 96.
19:01 jwagner Any idea what that one is about?
19:05 druthb left #koha
19:05 jcamins That's strange. I'll try searching NYU, just to make sure that it hasn't broken recently or something.
19:11 jwagner I've never seen that kind of Perl error with a z39.50, and others are working OK.
19:12 nengard left #koha
19:12 jwagner While I'm at it, would there be any objection if I removed Smithsonian from the delivered set of z39.50 targets?  It seems to be of limited use as a resource, and I spent quite a long time working with them on search problems.  With their server config, only raw (keyword) and author searches will work
19:13 jwagner Everything else fails because it wants specific use attributes which Koha can't send
19:14 paul_p joined #koha
19:15 gmcharlt jwagner: no objection from me
19:17 jwagner I think I'll do that as a separate bug entry, just to avoid muddying the waters on the original problem.
19:18 collum joined #koha
19:18 owen Is it just me or does "misc/sax_parser_print.pl" always say "looks bad" during a new Koha install?
19:20 chris what version owen
19:21 owen Sorry--what version of what?
19:21 chris koha
19:21 chris head?
19:21 * owen is trying an install of 3.0.x
19:21 chris and yeah it will
19:22 chris theres i a patch out there for it, that has been reformatted a few times, to tell koha to explicitly use the right sax parser, rather than making ppl edit the parserdetails.ini file
19:23 owen I seem to recall something about moving the contents of parserdetails.ini around?
19:25 chris yeah thats it
19:26 jwagner jcamins, I have to head out in a few minutes -- I updated the bug report with the error message so as not to lose it.
19:32 cait tired, bye all
19:32 cait left #koha
19:39 owen When trying "force intsall DVD::mysql" I get errors about "Can't exec "mysql_config""
19:43 wizzyrea do you mean DBD::mysql?
19:43 chris hmm why not install the debian package?
19:43 chris sudo apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl
19:43 chris ok bus time
19:43 jwagner left #koha
19:43 * owen is following the instructions in the INSTALL.ubuntu file
19:44 owen ...since that's what a new Koha user would do
19:46 owen So "force install DBD::mysql" installs the same thing as "sudo apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl" ?
19:47 owen If so, the instructions are incorrect
19:49 owen Warning: prerequisite HTTP::OAI 3.2 not found.
19:49 owen Warning: prerequisite XML::SAX::Writer 0.44 not found.
19:56 chris Yes
19:57 wizzyrea we should probably update the instructions to point to the debian/ubuntu packages
19:57 chris Patching the file would be good too
19:57 wizzyrea b/c most people would leap straight to cpan
19:57 chris Yeah cpan should be las resort
19:57 chris T
19:58 collum left #koha
19:59 chris Those ones are debian squeeze not sure about ubuntu
19:59 chris Gah can't type on phone today
20:00 owen ubuntu.packages already lists libdbd-mysql-perl, so it that's all that is required, the whole section on using cpan to install DBD::mysql could be removed
20:04 chris Yes
