10:49 kf          good night chris
10:36 imp         good night
10:27 chris       why shouldnt you have as many languages as possible on your opac?
10:27 kf          than intranet
10:27 kf          opac-languages are more likely to be added later
10:26 imp         kf: sure, but how many languages do you need in your installation? ;)
10:25 kf          but it should be also possible to add languages later
10:25 imp         paul_p: or being able to select the ones you want to install
10:22 paul_p      in fact, the best solution would be to distribute only english, and create templates in web installer
10:19 kf          imp: i think to have localized images is a nice option, we already use bridge icons with german subtitles in our currend opacs. but I agree, that with more and more languages it uses to much space, so perhaps it could be optional, so when you create a localized folder, it will be used
10:12 imp         kf: there is already intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/img/
10:07 kf          perhaps it should use a default folder when there is no folder with localized images
10:06 imp         316mb for a default installation is just huge - and 195M for intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl looks stupid
10:05 paul_p      (but at least, it's not a visible bug)
10:04 paul_p      although I agree in most cases, it's useless
10:04 paul_p      imp: with specific images, a library with multiple language can have "localized" versions of images. so that's not necessary a bad thing.
10:04 imp         indeed :)
10:02 chris       its the beauty of free software, if you dont like something you can change it :)
10:01 chris       yep
10:00 imp         always the same answer ;P
09:57 chris       :-)
09:57 chris       send a patch
09:51 imp         errrm.... why does any language contain it's own images? a shared folder for the images would be great
09:47 chris       hmm yeah i think i remember atz saying it was buggy
09:43 kf          i think this may be perhaps a problem
09:42 kf          there is already the option in barcode to use annual numbers like 2008/1
09:42 kf          i thought about a plugin similar to barcode.pl
09:42 kf          nice to know that
09:42 kf          ah
09:41 chris       and if you use xslt you can make them show in the search results too
09:41 chris       and then just edit the framework to make them show in the edit screens
09:40 chris       ie you can store stuff in marc fields and subfields that arent mapped to a field in items or biblio etc
09:40 chris       you probably dont need to map it at all
09:38 chris       ahh ok
09:37 kf          its not used now, i want to use it for import of accession numbers
09:36 chris       what is 952i?
09:36 kf          but im not sure if this will have any disadvantages
09:36 kf          now i can save
09:36 kf          i reconfigured 952$i using no items column
09:35 kf          thx chris
09:35 kf          ok
09:35 chris       i search the recent patches cant see any thing
09:35 chris       ahh yeah i think stuff in there is stored as xml, might be best to ask on the koha-devel list
09:31 kf          is it necessary to link all item fields to columns in item?
09:30 kf          but now, when i save something like "2009/123" i get an xml-output, when editing the item the next time
09:29 kf          chris: i think it changed its behaviour lately - we need a additional field for german accession numbers (additional to barcode). someone suggested using that column
09:29 kf          chris: you can train with German Koha version :)
09:28 chris       hmm im not sure what that column is for
09:28 Koha        Anyone? Trouble creating a staff user with LDAP switched on, no access. Denied.
09:28 chris       kf: will do :)
09:27 kf          hi amit
09:27 Amit        hi kf
09:26 kf          just ask, when you want to learn more :)
09:26 Koha        Hi all, are there any LDAP guru's around ATM?
09:25 Kivutar     thanks chris
09:24 chris       kf: ill have a look and no that was all the german i remember from when we had a swiss exchange student living with us :)
09:24 chris       if they are any use to them, feel free to use/fix :)
09:24 kf          i tried to use it for our accession numbery by linking it to 952$i
09:24 chris       http://git.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=rest/borrowers/single_borrower.pl
09:23 chris       and
09:23 chris       http://git.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=koha.git;a=tree;f=lib/Koha;hb=cache
09:23 Kivutar     oh i see
09:23 kf          can someone explain how more_subfields_xml is supposed to work?
09:23 chris       and using webservices as a good way to test
09:23 chris       im playing with the caching framework
09:23 kf           :)
09:23 Kivutar     ok
09:22 chris       not really, just playing around
09:22 Kivutar     chris: so you're coding webservices for koha too?
09:22 chris       thanks
09:22 chris       ahh :)
09:22 kf          P1: wie geht es dir? P2: danke gut. und dir? P1: mir auch.
09:22 kf          i think: auch
09:21 Kivutar     :)
09:21 chris       hi Kivutar :)
09:21 Kivutar     hi
09:21 paul_p      chris: kivutar is jean-andre
09:21 chris       how do you say also?
09:20 kf          und dir?
09:20 kf          fine, thx ;) learning german, chris?
09:20 kf          gut, danke
09:19 chris       wie geht es dir?
09:17 kf          heya chris :)
09:15 chris       heya kf

07:59 paul_p      hi chris
07:58 chris       hi paul
07:32 chris       <firstname>Chris</firstname><cardnumber>1</cardnumber><borrowernumber>1</borrowernumber><surname>Cormack</surname> at rest/borrowers/single_borrower.pl line 12.
07:31 chris       it even works
07:30 chris       http://git.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=rest/borrowers/single_borrower.pl
07:13 Elwell      wanted to get into the HPC kit (I was sysadmin for the 1st bluegene in europe) but they didn't have any spaces
07:12 chris       christchurch is weird anyway
07:12 Elwell      sysadmin
07:12 chris       what was the job?
07:12 chris       heh
07:12 Elwell      (stoppy sods didn't even shortlist me. pah.
07:11 chris       but there are 4 companies who provide that, there are tons of isps that do colo etc ... but they all have to buy transit from one of those 4
07:11 Elwell      ah cool. yeah. I was a bit shocked when I applied for a job at U.canterbury and they said you paid for bandwith
07:11 chris       its international transit that is the expensive bit
07:10 chris       yeah tons
07:10 Elwell      is there any competetion for colos / telcos?
07:10 Elwell      ok, hosting bandwith then
07:10 chris       depends where you live
07:09 Elwell      How expensive is bandwidth in NZ?
07:08 chris       in a week
07:08 chris       yep, 3.47 terrabytes
07:01 nicomo      is stuff.nz doing well?
07:00 nicomo      morning/evening Chris
07:00 chris       hi nicomo

03:24 chris       green wickets
03:24 chris       thats why we usually won in the past
03:24 chris       the pitches are too good for batsmen
03:24 mason       heh
03:23 chris       he is batting very well, but we are also making it very easy for him
03:21 Amit        what about sehwag batting chris
03:20 chris       hi amit
03:20 Amit        hi chris

03:14 Amit        hi mason, si
03:14 Amit        hi koha
00:45 ron         ciao
00:44 slef        ok. night all
00:41 ron         slef: I'll fill you in via email
00:40 ron         ok
00:39 slef        ron: I've been a DD for a few years and a debian sysadmin for longer, if that's what you mean.
00:37 ron         slef: do you have a background in managing debs in the longer term?
00:37 ron         s/ath/that/
00:37 ron         not ath I've got any excuse, at 11:30am. heh
00:37 ron         ;-)
00:37 ron         slef: seems I am too
00:36 slef        ron: hello. I'm asleep at the console.
00:25 ron         slef: howdy
00:21 chris       :)
00:21 chris       i think it just needs that last 20% that takes 80% of the time
00:21 chris       i built a package from vincents repo, and it mostly worked
00:21 chris       *nod*
00:20 slef        there's no webapp policy - there's an old discussion after I asked how to do it on debian-perl, but it'll be a bit off into the unknown
00:19 chris       there are also a couple of dd's at my work .. so i think the sticking point is getting the packages built
00:19 chris       there ya go, another option ron :)
00:17 slef        I just have no-one willing to pay me to make it happen and a life full of paid work.
00:16 slef        if a non-maintainer wants to make a koha.deb, I'm a debian developer so could sponsor the upload if vincent doesn't
00:16 Jo          Si : are you about
23:42 chris       http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=openoffice_excel_delimited_text_to_koha_using_marcedit
23:42 chris       ah no it was another of the Indian developers
23:40 ron         http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php
23:40 ron         found a video
23:39 chris       i think krishnan did a good tutorial let me look
23:39 chris       c
23:39 chris       to convert csv to marc, then koha can import the mar
23:39 chris       marcedit is your friend ron
23:38 chris       it can import borrower data tho
23:38 ron         bugga
23:38 chris       nope
23:38 ron         catalogue
23:38 chris       what sort of data?
23:38 ron         can Koha import data from a csv file?
23:37 chris       if your webserver can run cgi's you can use it with koha
23:36 chris       there is currently nothing apache specific with koha, just that the installer will make a config file for you that works with apache
23:36 imp         what's about monkeyd?
23:35 chris       or IIS if you are a nutjob :)
23:35 chris       or nginx
23:35 chris       yes
23:35 imp         is it possible to use koha without apache? (something like lighttpd)
23:31 ron         will do. thx
23:31 chris       his email address will be in the koha archives somewhere
23:31 chris       is his repo, drop him a line :)
23:31 chris       http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/koha.git;a=summary
23:31 chris       for the community
23:31 ron         either way, we're quite willing to pay for his efforts - especially if he can get it into the deb repos
23:30 ron         was he doing it for a client, or for the community?
23:29 bob         good idea
23:29 bob         chris: any idea how far along vincent is with the koha .deb package?
23:29 chris       id recommend getting in touch with him and asking him what he needs to finish it off
23:29 pianohacker brb, remodeling
23:28 bob         sweet
23:28 chris       so it would actually make it into the distro
23:28 ron         ahh, neat
23:28 chris       if you put it in debian, it will end up in ubuntu, plus vincent danjeans is a debian developer
23:27 ron         more generic = more uptake, more support, etc
23:27 ron         actually, I'd prefer tahth it was more generic
23:27 chris       plus ubuntu is debian, with non-free stuff added to
23:27 ron         just one that works on 8.04 LTS
23:26 ron         not necessarily
23:26 bob         hi chris
23:26 chris       i wouldnt
23:26 bob         so you'd be perfering a ubuntu-centric one right?
23:25 bob         cool
23:25 ron         there you go
23:24 ron         09:32 < atz> vincent danjean was working on a debian package
23:24 ron         hang on, chking log
23:24 ron         yeah, someone said earlier that it has been looked into previously.
23:24 bob         and was wondering how advanced along the idea was
23:24 ron         bob: I wonder if it is necessary to make an Ubuntu-specific package, or if a Debian package would suffice
23:24 bob         i think i read on lists that there was talk of having a all encompasing .deb package
23:23 ron         I beat you to the punch, it seems. :)
23:23 ron         howdy
23:23 bob         hi
23:23 ron         bob, @katipo
23:23 ron         of course
23:23 ron         oh
23:22 ron         bob: what's your interest?
23:22 ron         heh. this is what we were just now discussing
23:17 bob         one where all the dependencies are included?
23:16 bob         is there a koha.deb type package being developed?
23:16 bob         hi all
22:44 ron         hmm... phone again
22:42 ron         we've installed a couple of servers and a bunch of desktops (all running linux) in a gov't facility. they want koha, but we need to be able to provide security updates etc. the rest of the environment is all managed by apt-get/dpkg/etc. My strong preference is to not break this discipline
22:41 ron         if you guys would deb this (for ubuntu, especially) then yes you'd increase the uptake
22:40 ron         ok, ubuntu installs debs, although I don't know if it is happy with *debian* debs
22:40 ron         atz: sorry, was on the phone with strategicdata
22:39 atz         or does it need something special to do that?
22:39 atz         ubuntu can install debian debs right?
22:39 pianohacker Are there any other webapp packages out there for ubuntu whose installation package we could emulate?
22:34 atz         ron: that's actually a great idea to make Koha *very readily* adoptable
22:34 pianohacker Track down lazy contributors and break a few fingers
22:33 pianohacker The open source world needs something like a code-debt collections agency
22:32 atz         i'm sure it would make a lot of ppl happy though!
22:32 atz         haven't heard from vincent in months though
22:32 ron         bleh. fat fingers
22:32 ron         er... atx: mate...
22:32 ron         atxmate, I've got a government client who's willing to pay for it
22:32 atz         vincent danjean was working on a debian package
22:31 ron         oh... startegicdata.com.au. heh, I know those guys
22:31 atz         ron: actually, that's the first i've heard of somebody willing to pay to make it happen
22:31 ron         presumably this has been raised a number of times previously?
22:30 ron         what I was hoping for is someone who would maintain debs for ubuntu
22:30 ron         :)
22:30 ron         yep
22:29 atz         and the vendors tend to be pretty cool about not out-pitching each other here on channel
22:29 ron         atz: uh, yeah. heh
22:29 atz         ron: the place to start is http://koha.org/support/pay.html
22:27 ron         Mornin'. Is there someone here with whom I can discuss commercial (ie; paid) support for Koha?
21:25 pianohacker 'allo chris. Do you know anything about marc_sub_struct.hidden ?
20:33 slef        thanks owen
20:33 slef        is for me now... strange
20:32 owen        It's working for me slef
20:31 slef        Is the irc log searching webpage working for anyone else?
20:30 slef        very strange. Nothing in the error log either.
20:28 chris       not me
20:28 slef        (it's not in the man page)
20:27 slef        Hi all.  Anyone know what a zebrasrv exit code of 10 means?
20:10 owen        Hi chris
20:08 chris       morning
19:47 paul_p      clone 2 goes to limbo...
19:45 paul_p2     (dunno the french term ;-) )
19:44 owen        Cloning is all well and good, but you still have to feed and clothe the clones.
19:44 paul_p2     (trying to have "CPL" working)
19:44 paul_p2     coming from some tests on my home connexion
19:44 paul_p2     hi gmcharlt
19:44 gmcharlt    how's that cloning coming along, paul?
19:31 gmcharlt    I believe it was intended to act as a (signed) bitmask
19:28 pianohacker Is there anyone around who is familiar with the logic behind marc_subfield_structure.hidden? I see some patterns in how it can be interpreted, but building it automatically from a given set of constraints (visibility in opac, staff and editor and collapsed when empty) seems like it would require a hashref
18:50 imp         owen: ah, thx :)
18:50 owen        What about this? http://search.cpan.org/dist/GD/
18:48 imp         (there is no gd 2.0.39 release on libgd.org)
18:48 imp         so i have to use 2.1 from their cvs?
18:48 imp         Warning: prerequisite GD 2.39 not found. We have 2.35.
16:37 owen        Hi liz_nekls
14:25 gmcharlt    hi pianohacker
14:24 pianohacker hola gmcharlt
13:41 owen        Oh, right. Okay
13:40 gmcharlt    i.e., the current holds queue process
13:40 kados       owen: in a phrase: multi-location hold targeting ;-) ... the previous NPL script only targeted one item per title even if there were multiple holds on a given title
13:39 owen        What were the Geauga holds improvements?
13:39 owen        Yeah. I've only gotten sporadic reports, so I'll have to ask folks to be more vigilant.
13:35 gmcharlt    owen: can you test to see if it makes a difference whether the holds are confirmed or not?
13:35 gmcharlt    it did
13:33 kados       g'morning all
13:33 owen        Hi kados
13:32 owen        "About Koha" reports 3.01.00.009
13:30 gmcharlt    what's the exact version you're running?
13:30 owen        I guess I'm concerned that the holds queue process is doing something weird here
13:29 owen        One obvious explanation is that the first branch didn't confirm the hold, I suppose
13:28 owen        When the destination branch receives it, they check it in and the hold message that pops up has another patron's info
13:28 owen        At NPL we've been running into a problem since our switch to 3.0. One branch will check in an item and find a hold for a patron. They'll flag it with a hold slip and send it to its destination branch
13:27 gmcharlt    sure
13:27 owen        gmcharlt, do you have time for a question about holds?
13:14 gmcharlt    yes
13:14 owen        So hiding that column in the template would be a sensible thing to do
13:13 gmcharlt    RSS for notifications hasn't been implemented yet
