22:00 robin     that way you wouldn't get apache timeouts, even on huge amounts of data.
22:00 robin     chobbs / slef: a better way (requiring dev though) would be to a) fix the slowness, annd b) use the background task handling.
22:00 magnus    good night all
21:44 chobbs    OK, curl is pretty slick :-)
21:25 cait      good night all
21:18 slef      chobbs: yes, probably scriptable, too.
21:17 slef      chobbs: there might be some problem slowing your koha down, but it's hard to tell without detailed study.  I don't know of a general bug with it.
21:17 chobbs    Wonder if its possible to script with cURL to do this.
21:17 jwagner   that little slash does help....
21:17 jwag_away nick jwagner
21:16 chobbs    slef:  Thanks. Was hoping there'd be a "simple" hack I could use without requiring new work on the devs' part.
21:13 slef      chobbs: it's probably possible to load the updates from the command-line, removing apache from the equation. It would still take as long, but apache wouldn't time out. This would be an enhancement, requiring more development :-(
21:11 munin     slef: The operation succeeded.
21:11 slef      @later tell hdl I didn't know about your wip items branch. I must have I missed the announcement.
21:05 darling   ah
21:04 chobbs    darling:  Apache time-out after about 10 minutes.
21:04 darling   chobbs, how is it failing?
21:04 chobbs    Even removing the split, it's 10-15 minutes I could free up weekly.
21:04 chobbs    But I still would like to automate it, ratehr than rely on my operations person to export/split/load each week.
21:04 cait      I was not aware of the difference between the versions
21:03 cait      never tried to load that many borrowers - our libraries are quite small
21:03 chobbs    cait:  Good point
21:03 cait      chobbs: perhaps you shoudl report a bug when there is that big of a difference
21:01 chobbs    s/chucks/chunks/ - we don't have that many Chucks :)
21:01 chobbs    Any ideas on automating patron updates? Since upgrading to 3.2 beta, we've had to split our updates into chucks of ~1000 patrons to do updates. With 13K kids, that makes it more of a chore than it ought to be. we were able to do all 13K in one go under 3.0.
20:09 magnus    good night hdl
20:09 hdl       see you
20:09 hdl       time to leave. 21PM
20:09 magnus    ?
20:08 hdl       Maybe a mis-conception of what the word community means.
20:06 magnus    hm, not brilliant ideas from me then, if they didn't work for you...
20:05 hdl       we already did that.
20:04 magnus    hdl: cool! my main points were timeframes and descriptions of what to look for in a test/wip interface - of course the last one puts even more work on the shoulders of the developing party...
20:04 hdl       magnus: we even made a precise announcement... We tried to inform of what we planned to do... And what we could not do... but how that could be done.
20:02 hdl       magnus: RFCs and test interfaces... is what we did.
20:02 cait      :)
20:02 * sekjal  remembers the Christmas markets in Germany... and the Glühwein
20:01 cait      glad to be home now
20:01 cait      the light rain showers are not so light
19:58 Brooke    Chester is no where near there, ye littlle...
19:58 munin     Brooke: The current temperature in chester hill, Chester, Massachusetts is -6.2�C (2:59 PM EST on December 08, 2010). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 57%. Dew Point: -13.0�C. Windchill: -6.0�C. Pressure: 30.11 in 1019.5 hPa (Steady).
19:58 Brooke    @wunder 01235
19:58 cait      yeah, quite unusual
19:58 wizzyrea  magnus: all of those things appeal to me
19:57 magnus    that's hot!
19:56 Brooke    it's practically balmy.
19:56 munin     cait: The current temperature in Taegerwilen, Taegerwilen, Germany is 9.8�C (8:55 PM CET on December 08, 2010). Conditions: Light Rain Showers. Humidity: 96%. Dew Point: 9.0�C. Windchill: 9.0�C. Pressure: 29.62 in 1002.9 hPa (Steady).
19:56 cait      @wunder Konstanz
19:54 cait      Gern geschehen ;)
19:54 Brooke    danke!
19:53 * Brooke  downs it.
19:50 * cait    hands out some spiced wine from the christmas market
19:46 magnus    (not meant as criticism of biblibre or anything, just some thoughts from a n00b...)
19:45 magnus    i guess limited amounts of time are a problem for most of us, so getting anyone to look deeply into something will be hard, most of the time. maybe it would help if rfcs had a timeframe for comments. and once there is wip to look at: an open test installation running the wip, along with a description of what to look for - what is different/new
19:34 hdl       I also had great ideals and great ideas about how it should / had to be done... But we have to cope with everyday libraries problems + design new stuff + fix internal bugs + organising meetings and convince man to man... that what we are doing can be profitable for the wole community.
19:31 Brooke    If I manage to paddle to NZ, I ought get to stay there indefinitely.
19:31 Brooke    one way waka.
19:31 hdl       charles bronson...
19:31 sekjal    all that wingspan has to be good for something aside from lift
19:30 sekjal    solar powered planes
19:30 hdl       But wait... would ruin the planet :D
19:30 hdl       Imagine all the miles you would get in the year...
19:30 sekjal    magnus:  if someone will pay for direct flights, sure....
19:29 Brooke    no, no, Paul would find out and work you even harder. ;)
19:29 hdl       I would also love to have 38 hours a day... every day... But then corpse might not follow.
19:28 hdl       If gmcharlt has precise ideas of how to do that... there have been still no post... no commits about that.
19:28 magnus    so if we make sekjal travel home from nz 2-3 times a week... ;-)
19:28 Brooke    would that I were not traveling in the wrong direction, I'd have liked that day.
19:28 Brooke    heh
19:27 sekjal    at least for me
19:27 sekjal    hdl: true, unless you're traveling home from New Zealand.... that day was about 38 hrs
19:27 hdl       sekjal: I'm all for adding Solr support.  It's got lots of strengths.  But yeah, we have to keep supporting Zebra, too.... I am all for that... It is just that you know days last for only 24 hours.
19:26 hdl       slef : The large numbers of items thing is a known bug with how koha uses MARC, yes. I posted a wip branch on how to remove items out of the marc... I Had no feedback about that.
19:21 cait      hi magnus :)
19:21 magnus    hi cait
19:13 cait      hi brooke :)
19:12 Brooke    hi :)
19:12 cait      hi #koha
19:06 * Brooke  is occasionally useful.
19:06 Brooke    my pleasure
19:06 wasabi    Brooke: thanx for the pdf link
19:01 sekjal    cool, thanks chris
19:01 chris     he had some good ideas around generalising the search code
19:00 chris     sekjal: you should have a chat with gmcharlt
19:00 magnus    sekjal++
19:00 sekjal    if adding Solr support makes us generalize some of the search code, all the better.  I'm still toying with the idea of using a native XML database for biblio, authority and patron info
18:59 wasabi    yeah, thats how i see it too
18:59 chris     sekjal++
18:59 sekjal    once both are viable options for Koha, natural selection can pick which survives into the long term (or both!)
18:59 wasabi    http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_0/api/all/org/apache/lucene/analysis/cjk/package-summary.html
18:58 sekjal    I'm all for adding Solr support.  It's got lots of strengths.  But yeah, we have to keep supporting Zebra, too
18:58 wasabi    oooooh, solr has 3 analyzers for chinese alone...
18:58 Brooke    I remember thinking "Brooke, this is dumb to read. You'll never use that information..."
18:57 Brooke    http://www.ifla.org/files/hq/papers/ifla75/135-chang-en.pdf
18:57 Brooke    ah here we go
18:57 chris     its the implementation i have issues with
18:56 chris     doesnt interest me in the slightest
18:56 Brooke    and Mr. Mao was not the responsible party...
18:56 chris     but yeah, the features comparison of zebra vs solr
18:56 wasabi    but searching CJK characters with zebra becomes difficult, because there are no spaces between words ;)
18:56 Brooke    I read a thingamabobber on Koha and CJK recently...now I've to remember where...
18:56 chris     you can do all sorts of things with icu, just because we havent yet, doesnt mean we cant
18:56 * jwagner goes off to run errands, eat lunch, and take a nap. Not necessarily in that order.
18:56 Brooke    hmmm
18:55 wasabi    zebra can store/display CJK characters just fine...
18:54 magnus    i can('t) imagine that...
18:54 wasabi    and currently impossible with zebra?
18:53 wasabi    its a very complex/difficult area of searching
18:52 wasabi    http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_2_0/api/org/apache/lucene/analysis/cjk/package-summary.html
18:51 magnus    ah, thanks
18:51 wasabi    CJK is a collective term for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean,
18:51 wasabi    oops..
18:51 wasabi    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_characters
18:51 wasabi    chttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_characters
18:50 magnus    cjk?
18:48 chris     not everyone has that luxury
18:48 chris     you and I can run a java stack, we have the machines and money and time
18:48 wasabi    yes, i have to agree....
18:47 chris     but i dont think trashing zebra support to do so is such a great idea
18:47 wasabi    there are a few different CJK analyzers for SOLR even
18:47 * Brooke  comforts Chris.
18:47 chris     i think adding it is a great idea
18:47 chris     wasabi: i have no issue with solr
18:47 magnus    wasabi: you will have another chance on the 15th, methinks
18:47 chris     Brooke: cos im there
18:45 wasabi    … this is something that zebra is missing
18:44 wasabi    http://www.basistech.com/knowledge-center/search/Lucene-Solr-for-the-Rest-of-the-World.pdf
18:43 Brooke    that could be good news.
18:42 wasabi    i wanted to say the CJK analyzers in SOLR look very impressive
18:41 wasabi    i missed the SOLR meeting… :/
18:41 Brooke    Why would anyone want to know the temp in Auckland?
18:41 magnus    Gardermoen had -21 when i was there this morning (it's the airport for oslo)

18:37 ibot      que tal, jwagner
18:37 jwagner   Hi there
18:37 wasabi    hiya jane :)
18:37 * jwagner is about to sign off and take a nap
18:36 jwagner   morning/afternoon/whatever....
18:36 wasabi    morning chris
18:36 chris     morning
17:58 slef      The large numbers of items thing is a known bug with how koha uses MARC, yes.
17:57 jwagner   I'm not directly involved with the development and testing, but I'd be happy to check any bugs you've found.
17:57 jwagner   To the best of my knowledge, the same problem with large numbers of items still exists in Koha 3.2
17:56 wizzyrea  are you also familiar with the fact that in one hour of testing, we found about 6 show stopping bugs?
17:54 jwagner   I'm told that's the version you have on your sandbox, but you said you didn't want to work with it.
17:54 jwagner   It was done for LEK before we purchased LL, yes.  We've brought it over into our main code line.
17:53 wizzyrea  or one of them
17:53 wizzyrea  oh, this is the development that forked you into LEK, right?
17:53 jwagner   Have to ask our developers that.  I are at kindergarten level in git.
17:52 slef      (released = git topic branch, based on head?)
17:52 owen      Those fickle sponsors.
17:52 jwagner   slef's corruption appears to be from different reasons.
17:52 jwagner   (And yes, that development will be released as soon as the sponsor approves).
17:52 jwagner   Actually, the problem we're seeing with your catalog is related to having massive numbers of items attached to title records.  That's why we've done development to decouple them -- to pull the item entries out of biblioitems.marc.
17:51 slef      It's remarkably difficult to discover the source of a corrupt record. Koha doesn't keep detailed history of records.
17:51 slef      PTFS probably don't have as many examples of this - probably have fewer multilingual/non-latin libraries
17:48 wizzyrea  that's great, except that no effort that I am aware of was made to actually fix why that was happening, like slef is trying to do
17:47 jwagner   wizzyrea, I looked up those tickets.  They each referred to a specific problem title or search, which was fixed.  What's your email address?  I'll send you a more complete description of why the problem is happening.
17:42 Nate      hi magnus
17:41 magnus    hi Nate
17:26 Barrc     Last question for the day! If I wanted to add some extra tags to the Staff Client detail.pl view should I being looking at one of the GetBiblio funtions in Biblio.pm?
17:06 drulm     owen: We landed a 106K grant this year, so this may put us in line to get some more. Need to find the time to write another one. The 106K one was a big collaboration.
17:04 drulm     owen: I shall use a bass drum
17:04 owen      drulm: Unless you can drum up some funding that seems unlikely for 3.4
17:01 drulm     Good morning
17:01 kmkale    bye all good night
17:00 drulm     Something that would be nice for 3.4 would be something other vendors have which is simplified reporting with graphical interface using something nice like Raphael toolkit (open source)
16:59 Barrc     OK, I though there was a more serious problem with it. I will start it at see if that helps the problem - thanks.
16:58 slef      Barrc: Probably if you prefer its behaviour.  There's only the concern that we don't know how much longer it exists.
16:57 drulm     A-OK.
16:57 Barrc     um, should I fire it up - are there any reason why I shouldn't use it?
16:57 hdl       drulm: it is a work in progress for BibLibre
16:57 slef      yes, but still works
16:57 Barrc     But that's depricated now, isn't it?
16:57 drulm     So no on Solr or no on both? :)
16:56 slef      Barrc: definitely.
16:56 Barrc     slef: I do, yeah. Not on 3.006 though - could that be it?
16:56 ibot      slef, I didn't have anything matching paris
16:56 slef      ibot: forget paris
16:56 ibot      owen: I forgot both
16:56 owen      ibot: Forget both
16:55 ibot      both are things I could work on but not sure it makes sense :)
16:55 slef      drulm: both?
16:55 slef      Barrc: you don't have zebraqueue_daemon running as well on your 3.0.5, do you?
16:55 drulm     Hello, is Solr a 'go' or still in debate? Thanks!
16:53 slef      I've looked (we are familiar with 3.0.x because we ship the latest stable koha - last of the well-behaved?) and can't see any changes between them which would cause it.  It is very strange.
16:53 Barrc     Its strange alright!
16:52 sekjal    Barrc: hmmm, interesting.  I'm not as familiar with the 3.0.x line, since I mostly work off master.  I couldn't say what changes may have been introduced between 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 to cause that...
16:51 wizzyrea  9890, 8698, 7990, 5449 to name a few
16:50 Barrc     But in the old version it was available immediately - that's what I am querying. I have 2 systems, side by side. One is 3.005 the other 3.006 both create a new auth, 3.005 is available now, 3.006 isn;t
16:50 sekjal    the record can be accessed if you have it's system number, but can't be found through any kind of search, which is the only way to retrieve authorities right now, as far as I know
16:49 sekjal    Barrc:  essentially, yes
16:48 Barrc     I know! I think I am confusing you! The problem is the delay in any newly created item/bib/authority being available to use (search) not just for Authority linking. If a new Authority is created in isn't availabl to use for 2 mins
16:47 sekjal    and they will show up in search once your rebuild_zebra.pl -a -z cronjob has run... every 2 min is pretty standard
16:47 sekjal    Barrc:  authorities added in the authorities interface will not be linked to your biblios automatically
16:45 Barrc     How does this effect addition of Authorities? (by that I mean direct Authority creation in the Authorities page - not from within a bib) The are also taking 2 mins to appear?
16:44 sekjal    Barrc:  yes, BiblioAddsAuthorities is a syspref, under Authorities
16:44 Barrc     sekjal: Is this a SysPref I need to switch on?
16:39 sekjal    the brief authorities will just include the current heading, and a 667$a indicating they were machine-created
16:39 sekjal    if it finds one, it links, if not, it creates a brief authority, and links
16:39 sekjal    Barrc:  alright, so if you turn that on, any authority-linked heading in your biblios (as determined by your MARC framework) will search for an existing authority record to link to
16:36 Barrc     OK. This is only for records added in the Staff client. There are no records added in bulk
16:35 wizzyrea  yep, I have tons of those, gimme a min.
16:34 sekjal    Barrc:  doesn't factor into bulk loads, or at least not as far as I can tell
16:33 sekjal    Barrc:  BiblioAddsAuthority comes up every time you add or edit a MARC record through the staff client
16:30 jwagner   No, for when you reported the problem to us
16:30 wizzyrea  You mean for the stuff slef is working on?
16:30 jwagner   Ticket #? I'll investigate
16:28 wizzyrea  yep
16:28 jwagner   wizzyrea, have you ASKED your present vendor for help diagnosing the problem?
16:24 kmkale    owen: yup. I would be willing to do some testing if you could point out something.
16:23 owen      kmkale: But we still depend on the willingness of folks to spend time testing
16:23 owen      kmkale: I guess the first step is to get a branch set up that people can test
16:20 kmkale    owen: i was wondering about that. How do we get wide testing without it being tried by a bigger audience..
16:20 Barrc     Not sure about BiblioAddsAuthority, where is that called?
16:20 owen      kmkale: There may be other issues no one has discovered
16:19 owen      kmkale: But I'm not sure everything has been thoroughly tested yet
16:19 munin     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5449 blocker, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, JSON malformed in Koha - Blocker with jQuery 1.4.x
16:19 owen      kmkale: Bug 5449
16:19 Barrc     slefl: MARC21
16:19 kmkale    owen: is there a list of problems in upgrading to latest jquery somewhere?
16:18 slef      no, there's been no change to authorities indexing linked to those files or the C4 module that I found.  Stopping looking.
16:18 owen      I'd like to see it happen in time for 3.4 though
16:18 owen      kmkale: There's no schedule
16:17 slef      ignore second question - seems irrelevant
16:16 slef      Barrc: and MARC21 or UNIMARC?
16:16 slef      (3.00.05 17 Dec, 3.00.06 17 May)
16:14 slef      Barrc: do you use BiblioAddsAuthority?
16:12 kmkale    owen whats the schedule on jquery update? if any?
16:11 Barrc     thanks
16:11 * druthb  chuckles.
16:11 * munin   reloads and spins the chambers.
16:11 slef      Barrc: yes, that. Now I can search some code.
16:11 druthb    @roulette
16:11 munin     druthb: *click*
16:11 druthb    @roulette
16:11 slef      I was wondering about 040$9 but I guess 04X should be a code.
16:11 wizzyrea  I don't know what I'll do, but something very nice.
16:11 wizzyrea  and slef, if you make this corrupt record kills catalog search problem better
16:10 Barrc     slef: From authorities.pl, addbiblio.pl and additem.pl - is that what you mean?
16:10 wizzyrea  that one seems like it should be ok
16:10 slef      I'll email the list about this, just to make sure no-one goes nuts.
16:08 jcamins   That's what the ANS uses.
16:08 jcamins   993 seems like a good choice.
16:08 jcamins   slef: sorry, got distracted.
16:08 slef      Coming back to noting which marcxml fields koha has regenerated: is @marc 993 OK? A subtag?  Something else?
16:06 Barrc     I have tested it tough, straight after the crontab logs to the log file. The addition happens straight away!
16:06 slef      Barrc: which URL are you adding them from?
16:05 jcamins   Barrc: I suspect it's just a coincidence- you happened to add records right before the cron job reindexed.
16:05 wizzyrea  preference*
16:05 wizzyrea  which is your preferencs?
16:05 wizzyrea  slef: I'll send you a copy that isn't in a dumb format
16:05 owen      So either we take the last version back of jUI or we do the conversion in concert with the jQuery upgrade
16:05 slef      (seriously, I'll try to take a look at that doc and see if it's open to us)
16:05 owen      Unfortunately the latest version of jQueryUI doesn't play nice with the version of jQuery in Koha
16:05 hdl       owen nice
16:04 wizzyrea  I'll send it again if you want lol (can't believe he did that… send a word doc to a foss community… doh)
16:04 Barrc     Well, it seems the time it now exactly what is specified in cront, 2 minutes. I have the old system here and the cron is set to 2 mins too but the addition is immediate
16:04 wizzyrea  >.<
16:04 wizzyrea  owen: it works!
16:04 slef      wizzyrea: oh, was that what was in that Word attachment? I thought it was only open to MS customers ;-)
16:04 owen      Starting test of jQueryUI for tabs: http://screencast.com/t/dpDZM1VOipxm
16:04 wizzyrea  you're right! I totally should! I hear there's a document going out about that ;)
16:03 slef      Barrc: not off the top of my head.  Can you quantify "longer"?
16:03 slef      wizzyrea: you should get some IT support who are happy to add SetEnvs to apache configs ;-)
16:02 wizzyrea  maybe soon.
16:02 wizzyrea  if only I had such power to wield over my apache logs.
16:02 Barrc     Hello all - just moved one of our installs up to 3.006 and noticed that even though the Koha user crontab is exactly as it was on 3.005 any Bib/Authority additions takes longer to populate. On the older version it was almost immediate. Any ideas?
16:02 slef      wizzyrea: if you switch KOHA_BACKTRACES on in koha-httpd.conf and DebugLevel to 2 in sysprefs, it becomes more obvious.
16:02 wizzyrea  so right, how best to fix
16:01 wizzyrea  slef++ for accidentally helping me to understand how that happens
16:01 owen      Yeah we've seen that too
16:01 wizzyrea  yep
16:01 wizzyrea  ok thank you
16:01 owen      wizzyrea: Because one of the records in the result set is corrupt?
16:00 slef      That happens too, yes.
16:00 wizzyrea  for specific words
16:00 wizzyrea  right. Our manifestation of that is broken catalog searches
15:59 slef      Any action which errors because it hits a broken marcxml.  Usually someone's trying to receive an item when I see the fault report.
15:59 wizzyrea  (among other things)
15:59 wizzyrea  catalog searches that error because of one bad record?
15:58 wizzyrea  just so I'm clear: the problem you are trying to solve is...
15:58 slef      I guess when one can corrupt a marc record simply by messing up its leader, there's probably always going to be someone somewhere with broken data in their Koha.
15:57 wizzyrea  because then they'd know they have to get/create a better/different record
15:57 slef      cataloguers are masochists?
15:57 wizzyrea  happy catalogers
15:57 wizzyrea  but
15:57 wizzyrea  annoyed catalogers
15:57 slef      I suppose I could try making Koha refuse to save any MARC which it couldn't convert to correct marcxml... what would be the consequences of that?
15:57 wizzyrea  slef++ I approve of that project
15:56 jcamins   If I understand correctly what slef is doing.
15:55 jcamins   hdl: anything that can be represented in MARCXML can be represented in MARC. The length limit is a serious problem, but if your record is corrupted, it seems to me that the best thing to do would be to rebuild the MARCXML from MARC and items, rather than just fail.
15:55 slef      Usually things which have been imported or entered with subtly incorrect settings.
15:55 slef      hdl: yes. I'm expecting this recovery routine only to activate on relatively new records.
15:55 hdl       for big records, it would not be helpfull
15:54 hdl       mmm marc is much more limited than marcxml
15:54 slef      I don't think "Koha barfed" needs to appear in OPAC.
15:54 jcamins   The ANS uses 993 for that sort of note.
15:53 jcamins   Probably not 583 then...
15:53 slef      a cataloguer who is wondering what happened to their record
15:53 jcamins   Oh. Well, who needs to see the note?
15:53 slef      jcamins: I'm making Koha regenerate biblioitems.marcxml from biblioitems.marc when marcxml is incomplete.
15:52 slef      jcamins: the one I'm writing ;-)
15:50 jcamins   slef: what automatic mangling?
15:48 slef      Where's the best place in a MARC record to put notes about Koha's automatic mangling of that MARC record?

15:33 kmkale    hi druthb
15:32 jwagner   Thanks.
15:31 hdl       jwagner: I don't think it would be a problem
15:31 jwagner   OK, I'm looking at creating a category with maybe 500-600 entries.  Just wanted to be sure that wasn't A Bad Idea.
15:31 jcamins   Not 800, but enough that I'd expect that we would've encountered problems when we were running on an underpowered VM.
15:31 jcamins   jwagner: we have... many... CCODEs, and it hasn't been a problem.
15:29 jwagner   any ideas on my authval question?
15:28 hdl       it would not come from me... Since merging workflow is not appropriate for sign-off.
15:27 hdl       hehe...
15:26 kmkale    hdl: i said I foresee a rider coming soon to patch sign off saying sign offs should be from a reputed source ;)
15:25 kmkale    one more problem. If there is only one item in a batch and if I select it and click Remove Items it shows a pop up of "Please select at least label to delete."
15:24 hdl       what have you said ?
15:24 hdl       kmkale: ....?
15:17 kmkale    remember what I said about sign off quality? ;)
15:16 kmkale    :)
15:13 owen      http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sign_off_on_patches
15:11 kf        you could sign-off on it :)
15:04 kmkale    applying the proposed patch seems to solve it.
15:01 kf        me too :)
15:01 kmkale    i should read before I type
14:58 kf        no you are right
14:57 kmkale    kf: how so? is I go to the next page of a search and do a select all then add checked it should add all items on that pahe to the batch
14:57 kf        rereading what you say it really sounds strange
14:56 kf        ah, no sorry
14:56 kf        it's the same for search result pages in general
14:56 kf        kmkale: I think the second is by design
14:55 munin     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5391 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, cnighswonger, ASSIGNED, can't add multiples to batch
14:55 kmkale    bug 5391
14:52 kmkale    also if its a multi page search only the first item on each page is added when we do select all, then add checked on each page then finally done
14:49 kmkale    yup. its 	3.03.00.004
14:49 kf        chris_n will now
14:49 kf        is your system up to date?
14:49 kf        kmkale: I thought this was a fixed bug or something
14:47 kmkale    anyone noticed this?
14:47 kmkale    on 3.03.00.004 while adding items to a batch in label creator, if we do a search and then select all then add checked then done only one item gets added to the batch :(
14:46 kf        lots of meetings today, catching up with mail right now
14:45 kmkale    kf++
14:45 kf        hi kmkale - will send later
14:44 hdl       owen : I donot think so. Not yet.
14:44 owen      hdl: Is there a bug for the transition from YUI to jQueryUI?
14:44 jwagner   Hmmm.  Does anyone know of any technical reasons (speed, database, etc.) why an authorized value category shouldn't have maybe 800 entries?  Need a controlled vocabulary for a particular field, and it doesn't really fit into authority control.
14:35 hdl       it would greatly help...
14:35 owen      "Drupal can automatically optimize external resources like CSS and JavaScript, which can reduce both the size and number of requests made to your website. CSS files can be aggregated and compressed into a single file, while JavaScript files are aggregated (but not compressed)."
14:34 owen      hdl: I often wonder if we should be doing some js and css aggregation like Drupal does? Minifying and packaging the js and css?
14:33 hdl       But still, Having a plan.... could prevent us from searching on our own... and have conflicting ideas afterwards.
14:32 hdl       And yui should be abandonned...
14:32 owen      +1
14:32 hdl       js libs should be loaded at the end of the page.
14:31 hdl       Moreover there should be two more :
14:31 * owen    agrees
14:31 hdl       owen:I agree... and such overhauls are a nightmare for integration....
14:22 munin     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4048 normal, P5, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, CSS and JS libs must be outside of translated paths
14:22 munin     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3652 critical, P5, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, XSS vulnerabilities
14:22 owen      I would definitely prefer a gradual process. Between Bug 3652, Bug 4048, and moving to jQuery UI we've got too many overhauls on our plate
14:22 kmkale    hi jcamins
14:22 kmkale    not really hdl its 7.53pm
14:21 jcamins   Good morning, #koha
14:21 hdl       kmkale: are you in mumbai ? it is quite late for you.
14:21 hdl       And develop best practises.
14:21 hdl       I would say gradual process... If it is well designed and thought... Then we should be able to design by best practise.
14:20 hdl       owen: about previous question :version in the mysql table is before your kohaversion.pl
14:19 owen      hdl: Do you see the template changes as a system-wide overhaul or a gradual process?
13:50 hdl       See ItemInputRefactoring Branch to see what it could mean...
13:49 hdl       owen yes.
13:49 owen      Instead of having them all in one template?
13:49 hdl       And have a kind of appropriate "namespace" (say rather file system organisation) for those parts
13:48 hdl       owen: namely : have templates for create update Display pieces of information individually and lists.
13:47 owen      What do you have in mind?
13:47 hdl       owen: it would be : How to organise stuff so that templates would be both flexible AND sustainable.
13:46 hdl       well it is not work in progress but it would be work to plan.
13:46 ibot      hey, hdl
13:46 hdl       owen: hi
13:38 kmkale    hi owen
13:36 * owen    supposes everyone went back to bed after the meeting
13:29 * owen    hadn't heard of ideas for template reorganizations
13:29 owen      Anyone know what this is about? "organise something with owen about template reorganisations"
13:28 owen      Hey all, sorry I missed the meeting this morning.
12:54 kf        hi chris_n
12:54 * chris_n sends along regrets for missing the meeting this morning
12:14 thd       slef: I note that the there is a page for Koha Tuning but it seems not to have been intended as an RFC, http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Tuning .
12:09 tajoli    I leave
12:04 thd       slef: I think that RFCs have yet to be written for most performance issues raised.
12:04 thd       slef: I thought that they would be more obvious.
12:04 thd       slef: I had presumed that not knowing which they are had motivated your request.
12:03 thd       slef: I think that the bugzilla category architecture, internals, and plumbing generally addresses performance issues.
12:03 slef      thd: not really... my lack of clue about how to identify performance RFCs is why I wondered if there was a category.
12:02 thd       slef: do you know what it should be applied to other than Table sorters RFC?
12:02 thd       slef: added a performance RFC category.
12:01 slef      thd: yes, but working, may be slow to answer
11:58 thd       slef: are you there?
11:53 kf        I really have to spend some time on those features and documentation
11:52 kf        my linking doesn't use the barcode or biblionumber but the controlnumber (which we get from our union catalog and don't want to overwrite)
11:52 kf        I had no time to test the analytical_records branch - is the functionality controlled by a sys pref?
11:51 kf        tajoli: I hope so
11:43 tajoli    And they are compatible at 100%, I think
11:42 tajoli    new/awaiting_qa/analytical_records
11:42 tajoli    and is a differct thin from the git branch
11:42 tajoli    I think is correct.
11:42 thd       Which is an RFC which needs a performance category applied?

11:32 kf        hope that's soon enough
11:32 kf        is to put...
11:32 kf        tajoli: my aim it so put up an rfc, example files and comments to the other branch until the end of the year
11:31 kf        tajoli: I did the work on 5406 - I think it's quite different. I had a time problem testing the other work :(
11:31 dpk       chris; currently shows bug assigned to Galen.  Also, what is Colin's email?  He has not commented on that bug.
11:31 chris     have a good day
11:30 * chris   hits the hay
11:30 tajoli    Magnus, do you check the branch about analytic records ?
11:30 dpk       Goodnight.
11:29 chris     yep, i like the idea
11:29 dpk       Its not a core function but it will help people who get bad imports.  There appears no other way is available.  OK - I'll contact Colin.
11:29 chris     hes close to you too (in the UK as well)
11:29 chris     you will want to hassle colin about that :)
11:28 chris     ah yep
11:28 dpk       It looks like it still needs qa testing.
11:28 dpk       yeah, so I submitted a patch to add batch reversion to get myself unstuck from a corrupt batch.
11:27 chris     right dpk, sup?

11:20 chris     to even
11:19 chris     ive action pointed it now, so you have too :)
11:19 thd       I will take the issue up for restarting the ballot process on the mailing list this month.
11:19 thd       I think that last month was not appropriate for reintroduction with problems over RFCs and development conflicts taking much of my time to help resolve.
11:18 thd       However, I avoid doctors when I can.
11:17 thd       I could have seen the doctor sooner and had less of an infection to combat.
11:17 thd       gmcharlt wisely suggested deferring to the mailing list.
11:17 chris     its not like it was something you can stop :)
11:17 chris     no apologies needed
11:17 chris     #action thd to reintroduce the ballot process on the software license to the mailing lists
11:17 thd       ... with apologies for falling ill.
11:16 thd       At the last meeting I proposed to reintroduce the delayed ballot process on upgrading the software license.
11:16 chris     fire away
11:15 thd       Or rather further postpone to the mailing list.
11:15 thd       I have an issue to reintroduce.
11:14 thd       I did not mean to suggest that transparent was not fine or not the best choice.
11:14 chris     anyone remember differently? certainly we didnt note any in the minutes
11:14 chris     im not sure we had any?
11:13 chris     #topic action items from the previous meeting

11:13 chris     and move on to
11:13 chris     id like to thank brooke for working on this
11:12 magnus    i think transparent sounds good, lets "operationalize" it later, if we feel like it
11:12 Brooke    I'm limited in construction in that Mission statements are meant to be wee things. Again, I'm willing to add supporting documentation linking what it means as things evolve
11:12 magnus    +1
11:12 chris     i propose that discussion on the wording be continued at a later date
11:11 thd       Brooke: I think that the intended meaning of transparent is clear to me but I am not certain it would be clear to everyone.
11:10 Brooke    Mission -> Vision -> Planning -> Less argument is the theory
11:09 magnus    +1
11:09 Brooke    I'd assume there could be as a footnote or supporting document someplace.

11:04 Brooke    so tag cloud is here
11:03 Brooke    and then sent that puppy out for feedback
11:03 Brooke    I then hybridised the new words with an old mission statement
11:03 Brooke    we got pretty good feedback
11:02 Brooke    from stuff discussed at KohaCon then opened up over the list
11:02 Brooke    We worked on a three words tag cloud
11:01 munin     04Bug 4506: enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, katrin.fischer, NEW, Add support of record linking by record control number in $w
11:01 chris     tajoli: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4506
11:01 Brooke    k, still not dawn here, so bear with me.
11:00 chris     (its midnight here, i have to do training tomorrow so moving along)
11:00 tajoli    I simply add unimarc (461/463 ) support
11:00 chris     #topic update on the 3 words
10:58 hdl       I will continue to try and take into account any feed back
10:58 thd       tajoli: I have seen two patches for analytic records
10:58 chris     there is work kf has been doing too
10:58 chris     thats one
10:58 tajoli    (new/awaiting_qa/analytical_records)
10:58 tajoli    I think that is only one
10:57 hdl       )
10:57 hdl       (but that was already said.
10:57 tajoli    2 analytics ?
10:57 hdl       #action propose a meeting around qa branches.
10:56 chris     that need qa too
10:56 chris     like the 2 analytics ones and others
10:56 chris     there are other branches
10:56 chris     i suggest you propose a time and see how that goes
10:55 hdl       if so, i can rais an action
10:54 hdl       Could we agree on having a meeting around that ? assuming people are ready to spend time testing.
10:54 chris     i only have i think 32 at last count
10:53 hdl       Instead of having 12 branches to cope with, I would have only 3 and that would be a great step.
10:53 hdl       So idea of kf before to organise meetings could be good.
10:52 hdl       And we had very little feedback on the qa progress.
10:51 hdl       And that in my opinion, the more we wait for integration, the more we will have duplicat efforts.
10:51 hdl       Just say that there are many bug fixes done also on those.
10:51 chris     was there anything else you wanted to add hdl?
10:51 hdl       indeed.
10:50 chris     we have kinda started this already :)
10:50 chris     #topic update on biblibre branches
10:49 hdl       #action hdl comment on gmcharlt email and branch
10:48 chris     hdl: yep, im pretty sure there were a few questions and a couple of changes he wanted you to check
10:48 hdl       s/cath/catch/
10:48 Colin     yes probably need to generate a strategy to attack some of these
10:48 hdl       I didn't cath Galen was waiting an answer from me.
10:47 chris     maybe colin could organise some meetings and try and rope in some volunteers to help qa
10:47 chris     d
10:47 chris     that other one is only partially qa
10:46 hdl       Or is it about reports ?
10:46 chris     galen signed off on, and sent comments
10:46 hdl       the one owen and Frederic sent comments on ?
10:46 chris     perhaps colin could organise a qa meeting
10:45 chris     one is readyish, it has had qa and some feedback provided, if you wanted to respond to the questions in that feedback then that branch could be merged
10:44 chris     but after fair warning ill expect new ones to be tt not h::t::p
10:44 hdl       chris : it could be good if all the big branches could get in before
10:43 chris     so thats where we are now, with more testing, we should be ready to switch to tt early in the new year, outstanding patches to templates i will apply to the old templates and use the script to upgrade them to tt
10:41 hdl       #idea organise something with owen about tempalte reorganisations
10:41 chris     along with jquery upgrades etc
10:40 chris     thats certainly something that you would want owen involved in
10:40 hdl       even fuzzy or blur.
10:40 hdl       With ongoing works on Acquisitions, it could be good if ppl could get an idea of a best practise.
10:40 chris     but once its changed, it should be possible for people to start reorganising
10:39 chris     that may happen before 3.4 is released, but i doubt it, there is a lot of other things to do
10:39 chris     and making use of the extra features we get with tt
10:38 chris     then we can start moving things around
10:38 chris     once that is working flawlessly
10:38 chris     yes, where similair = exactly the same
10:38 chris     this is purely a replacement of the templating engine
10:37 slef      so it'll be a similar organisation?
10:37 chris     thats outside the scope of the changes for 3.4
10:37 hdl       Is there a way you propose to organise parts of templates ?
10:37 chris     we ran into some issues with umlauts, which we havent figured out the solution to yet, but i am sure its something we just missed setting
10:36 kf        sorry, phone call
10:36 hdl       thanks.
10:36 chris     kf has been doing some testing
10:36 hdl       we will try and test that too.
10:36 chris     #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Template_toolkit_test
10:36 chris     we are now in the testing phase
10:35 chris     so we have been fixing those in the original templates too
10:35 chris     in tt it needs to be a valid perl variable name
10:35 chris     in h::t::p you can have somethin like foo-bar as a variable name
10:35 hdl       magnus: agreed.
10:35 chris     we ran into some issues with variable names
10:34 chris     chris hall, has been doing a lot of work and has a script that can convert html::template::pro files to template::toolkit ones
10:34 magnus    that page hdl gave the url to looks like it should be split into several pages with more details
10:34 thd       slef: I took categories from bugzilla where no such category had been created in the component assignment nature of bug assignments.
10:34 chris     #topic template toolkit update
10:34 chris     ok, moving on
10:33 chris     #action thd to add a category for performance related rfc
10:33 chris     ok, anything else? or shall we move on?
10:31 chris     #action Brooke will go over the meeting minutes and put summat up on the wiki for Mondayish
10:31 thd       slef: One can easily be added.
10:31 hdl       http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/RFCs_for_Koha_3.4
10:30 slef      is there a label/category for performance rfcs?
10:30 * Brooke  will go over the meeting minutes and put summat up on the wiki for Mondayish.
10:30 chris     #idea have volunteers to coordinate discussion on each of the performance rfc
10:29 hdl       chris: fine for me.
10:29 chris     i said we dont need an exhaustive list
10:29 chris     i didnt say no lists
10:29 hdl       chris: but having no lists doesnot help organisign work.
10:28 chris     and we wont get all of them done for 3.4, people adding more as they think of them
10:28 hdl       chris: should we make a call for volunteer on each subject ?
10:28 chris     i dont think missing them is too much of a worry, its not a finite topic
10:28 magnus    sounds like a wiki page ;-)
10:27 hdl       ok.. was also to check that we would not miss any, just to have the beginind of a list of identified issues.
10:27 chris     and i encourage people interested in them, to talk to each other
10:27 chris     they mostly have, circ improvements, ajax, persistence etc
10:27 hdl       for instance javascript/Plack or data persistence....
10:26 hdl       identified...
10:26 hdl       I thought idea was to split performance issues into idetified parts.
10:25 hdl       sorry I misunderstood.
10:25 hdl       We take it.
10:25 thd       I think that chris was stating that those interested in holding topic meetings are encouraged to organise them
10:25 kf        the rfc's that still need work is perhaps a different thing
10:25 hdl       #action organise a qa session for biblibre branches
10:24 chris     i thought you did
10:24 kf        I think the branches from biblibre need a qa session
10:24 chris     i dont want any
10:24 hdl       you propose.
10:24 hdl       detail what different meeting syou want
10:23 chris     detail what?
10:22 hdl       Can you detail then ?
10:22 chris     i know there are people interested in them and then they can discuss specifics
10:21 chris     lets make some meetings for each of the performance rfc
10:20 hdl       it is on a branch
10:20 hdl       It could be tested
10:20 hdl       About circulation improvements.
10:20 hdl       biblibre can take some... but not all
10:20 thd       :)
10:19 chris     #help someone needs to organise them, and by someone i mean anyone except me :)
10:19 chris     #action organise meetings on rfcs
10:19 hdl       Community could try and set periodical meetings on those subjects and come who wants.
10:18 munin     kf: The operation succeeded.  Quote #110 added.
10:18 kf        @quote add chris: im rm, not god
10:18 hdl       So that we can all make efforts and join forces.
10:18 hdl       But I raise those issues in order to raise attention on that.
10:17 thd       hdl: By global do you mean affecting many modules?
10:17 hdl       I dont expect you to do all the stuff.
10:17 thd       :)
10:17 hdl       Ajax.. Circulation imrpovements.
10:17 chris     im rm, not god
10:17 hdl       wow...8-)
10:17 thd       hdl: global RFCs?
10:17 chris     hdl: i have no concrete plans if someone wants to make some, that would be good
10:16 chris     #info feature freeze aimed for march 22, string freeze for 2 weeks after
10:16 hdl       (global RFCs)
10:16 hdl       chris same question for circulation and all the RFCs...
10:16 chris     hdl: we do need to track down the memory leaks before we can continue with persistance tho, so hopefully someone will work on that
10:15 kf        ah
10:15 kf        sometime in march?
10:15 chris     22 march
10:15 kf        which date would that be?
10:15 chris     hdl: no
10:14 chris     thd: 1 month and 2 week string freeze
10:14 hdl       Do you have a plan for persistence and performance work ?
10:14 thd       how much in advance of the release schedule would you expect a feature freeze?
10:13 thd       yes
10:12 chris     does anyone else have any general 3.4 questions before we move on to template toolkit update?
10:12 kf        meetbot++ :)
10:11 chris     #agreed slef to continue his work linking patches to bugs
10:11 slef      ok, I'll continue, do this batch, then automate
10:11 kf        me neither
10:11 hdl       me neither
10:10 chris     they dont annoy me
10:10 chris     to make it easier
10:10 slef      Related to this: I've not linked the November patches list emails to bugs yet. Shall I? Does anyone find those batches of comments annoying?
10:09 chris     for multipatches for a  bug, i have been pushing new/awaiting_qa branches
10:09 chris     it can go back to blank if we want, or we can add another status
10:09 hdl       (sorry to be late)
10:09 * hdl     Henri-Damien LAURENT BibLibre
10:09 chris     ill set it patch pushed when i push it
10:08 kf        chris: I wondered about the correct status after a patch has been signed-off
10:08 chris     for any single patches on a bug, that need qa/signoff i have been setting that to needs signoff
10:07 chris     added a new field, patch status
10:07 chris     i made some changes to bugzilla last week
10:07 chris     but there are some big branches awaiting qa
10:06 chris     we are still on track, pushing lots of patches
10:06 chris     #topic Update on roadmap for 3.4
10:05 chris     ok
10:05 Brooke    sounds like a plan +1
10:05 dpk       +1
10:05 magnus    +1
10:05 kf        +1
10:05 chris     shall we jump to the 3.4 update and if they arrive we can do 3.0. and 3.2 after?
10:03 chris     be a short meeting otherwise, which i dont mind :)

09:40 wasabi    hopefully more patches from me over xmas-time
09:38 wasabi    thanx, we'll see… :)
09:34 kf        wasabi: star rating sounds good :)
09:30 wasabi    interesting interview with assange's lawyer on nat.radio now…
09:30 chris     sounds good
09:29 wasabi    i'll re-test on master , and update the bug
09:28 wasabi    i did a feature commit yesterday, but based it off a 3.2 tag
09:27 wasabi    ok, i just wanted to get all that cleared, before i started testing
09:27 chris     but yeah to make it easy, off master ;)
09:27 wasabi    sure sure....
09:26 chris     for this one, new feature so wont go onto 3.2.x
09:26 wasabi    aaaaah
09:26 chris     all patches should be based on master, and backported to 3.2.x if applicable
09:26 wasabi    ok, thats great
09:25 wasabi    aaah, ok
09:25 wasabi    whats the best commit to start testing againist?
09:25 chris     basing it on master is the trick
09:25 chris     coool
09:25 wasabi    i wanna commit my star-ratings thingy from ASHS....
09:24 chris     yup
09:24 wasabi    a little question about patches?

03:51 brendan_l evening
03:31 darling   mmm
03:28 Brooke    hmmm
03:28 Brooke    cabbage...
02:39 darling   can't hurt..
02:38 darling   i ate too much cabbage, i wonder if chocolate would fix that
02:20 munin     Brooke: Quote #102: "<druthb> harrrumph!" (added by gmcharlt at 07:42 PM, November 11, 2010)
02:20 Brooke    @quote get 102
01:37 robin     np
01:37 wasabi    ok, ill double-check your advice, and thanx :)
01:37 wasabi    aah, that was my reasoning, i forgot that :)
01:36 wasabi    yep, its an easy test and fix for me
01:36 robin     I think if you're aiming it for the 3.2 then do it agains the 3.2.x branch
01:35 robin     it'll probably still work. But you could check by applying it to master
01:35 wasabi    oops, wrong window :/
01:34 wasabi    wasa
01:34 wasabi    wasa
01:34 wasabi    i sent a patch to kc.org, that was applied to git tag 'v3.02.00-rc', rather than master
01:33 robin     tags are more for flagging a point in time
01:32 wasabi    yeah that was my other choice
01:32 wasabi    aaah
01:31 robin     I'd just use the master branch
01:31 robin     yeah, I wouldn't apply to a tag.
01:31 wasabi    hmm, that doesnt make much sense , lol
01:30 wasabi    if im going to apply some dev patches to a clean koha repo, whats the best git  *tag* on my clean koha repo, to start my applying my patches too
01:28 wasabi    ok, so heres the Q anyway….
01:28 wasabi    oh ta, missed my irc alerty-thing
01:14 robin     wasabi: he's up north training some librarians on Koha for the rest of the week
01:14 wasabi    … ping me when about?
01:12 wasabi    i need some advice on sending some of my patches to kc.org
01:12 wasabi    any chris about?
