I've been putting up with it, because I think it's a good idea for a candidate to not be blindsided at an election. 19:35 sekjal I have no objections; as many helpers as I can get is a good thing 19:35 daniel_g can someone object to a nomination? 19:35 cait and what is involved doing the job 19:35 cait nominations... talking about plans and candidates I think 19:35 Brooke this is nominations. 19:35 Brooke Elections are in the beginning of October 19:35 daniel_g I'm unclear on the process going on here.

Say awesome once she's found ;-) ) 19:26 nengard awesome!! 19:26 paul_p yes, hdl told us. So she's looking for a solution/suggestion/idea to that. 19:26 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6716 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, nengard, ASSIGNED , Database Documentation 19:26 nengard regarding db documentation bug 6716 tracks my work on that 19:26 Brooke Am I to assume there is also no objection to Documentation of the DB as Nengard too in 3.8? 19:26 * jcamins = Jared Camins-Esakov, C & P Bibliography Services #intro 19:26 nengard paul_p - i'd love a way to do that - but then links from section to section are much harder - which is why i haven't done it 19:26 paul_p that would be much esier for translators to deal with smaller files 19:25 Brooke we're adding more ha ha 19:25 ColinC +1 19:25 paul_p nengard, claire should catch you in the next weeks to see how it is possible to split the docbook in smaller parts 19:25 Brooke oh wait 19:25 Brooke ha ha sucker! 19:25 wizzyrea go go gadget nengard 19:25 daniel_g +1 19:25 marcelr +1 19:25 cait nengard++ 19:25 jcamins_away +1 19:25 paul_p no objection 19:25 schuster nengard++ 19:25 tajoli no 19:25 cait no objection 19:25 nengard LOL 19:24 Brooke any objections to Nengard being Documentation Manager for Life? (or at least 3.8?) 19:24 Brooke and if I don't honour it sufficiently, bring it up again next meeting :) 19:24 Brooke so if you think of summat, post it 19:24 Brooke the agenda is a wiki 19:24 Brooke also 19:23 sekjal and continue with the rest of this meeting's agenda 19:23 paul_p agreed 19:23 paul_p Brooke++ 19:23 sekjal I move that we move discussion of the git submodule to the koha-devel list 19:23 paul_p workflow for translations / workflow for Koha 19:23 Brooke meetings are getting longish, and I think that's happening from folks getting slammed at work. Pop in, talk to each other more. Should make for shorter meetings and better communication. 19:23 slef I think you can shallow checkout if you want to save space. 19:23 fredericd so we would need to restart a new repo? I don't know 19:23 paul_p ie : you can push patches on the submodule, while the RM push on koha 19:23 paul_p that could help having ppl sumitting patches more easily 19:23 fredericd paul_p: you may be correct... 19:22 Brooke I'm going to put this out there in the big wide open 19:22 fredericd thd: yes 19:22 thd fredericd: Is the intent that for those who only want untranslated Koha they can avoid the larger size code base? 19:22 paul_p fredericd, not sure it will slim that much the repo size, as what has been put in is in the repo forever. even if removed from the tree 19:22 fredericd But it must be discussed first. I'm not sure it's a necessity. 19:22 fredericd I also would like to propose a solution to allow Perl command-line scripts translation: scripts like bulkmarcimport.pl or zebraidx.pl. 19:21 fredericd sekjal: I can't enter into technical details yet 19:21 paul_p maybe a thread to start on koha-devel ? 19:21 fredericd This will slim down git repository size 19:21 sekjal fredericd: yes, I'm curious about the git submodule set up you propose. I'm not sure this meeting is the most appropriate time to go into it, though 19:21 fredericd The big challenge will be to succeed to extract .po files from Koha main git repository and manage them in a git submodule. 19:21 fredericd As I explained on the wiki I would like to continue the task 19:21 nengard chris and paul said that i was doc manager until i died .... so i promise to continue doing my job for 3.8 :) 19:21 paul_p fredericd, the idea to remove po from main package I think 19:20 Brooke fredericd: yep 19:20 fredericd sekjal: as translation manager? 19:20 Brooke #topic Documentation Manager 19:20 thd sekjal: please ask about your curiosity while fredericd is here to answer 19:20 paul_p same for me. I like the idea ! (although technically, how to do it is another question, I agree) 19:20 cait i would be willing to assist 19:20 Brooke hearing none, I'm going to move down the slate to 19:20 Brooke k 19:19 cait no objection 19:19 thd Brooke: objections to fredericd are absent. 19:19 sekjal but I have no objection 19:19 paul_p fredericd++ 19:19 sekjal Brooke: I'm curious about the technical details of Frédéric Demians' proposal 19:19 thd paul_p: I think that you should set ambitious goals and if they are all realised then that will be great. As long as we have a reasonable procedure for the quality and not abandoning users I am all for every possible great improvement. 19:18 mtj Brooke: no objections 19:18 paul_p TIMTOWTDI ! 19:17 paul_p cait, if you convince me the plan you propose is better than mine, of course ! but if I still think my plan is better, then i'll continue to argue. 19:17 cait so you are willing to change plans eventually? 19:16 paul_p cait, i'm always open to discussions. I'm usually complaining for silence, not for discussion ;-) 19:16 paul_p i'm always open to discussions. I'm usually complaining for silence, not for discussion ;-) 19:16 mtj i think a smooth way to integrate solr ... would be to get Koha:Search:Zebra working first on 3.x 19:16 Brooke anyone have objections to Frédéric Demians? 19:15 cait paul_p: are you open to discuss points from your proposal and have the community vote on them? 19:15 cait sekjal: I agree with that too 19:15 paul_p nengard, I was meaning discussions about what should be in 4.0 and how to reach the goal. not doing things 19:15 nengard found it - (2:03:12 PM) paul_p: well... but I plan to start 4.0 in nov (at least discussions about it) too. 19:14 thd sekjal: I prefer the way you put it last that we release what is ready without loosening standards 19:14 Brooke #topic Translation Manager 19:14 Brooke so 19:14 paul_p fredericd, yep. And it should be in english (for instance, docs are in french) 19:14 nengard paul_p ... i thought i read that ... now i'm confused so i'm going to read and stay quiet 19:14 sekjal thd: I feel that, yes, 1 year may be too short. I feel we should, as a community, define what features will make 4.0 first, and then start working on them 19:13 paul_p I was meaning discussions about what should be in 4.0 and how to reach the goal. not doing things 19:13 fredericd paul_p: Could it be available outside the code? 19:13 sekjal and, consequently, I do not think that it's necessary to loosen QA procedures on the road to 4.0, since we can release features as they're truly done and stable 19:13 slef Brooke: s/table/postpone/ :) 19:13 talljoy paulp: you did...(2:03:12 PM) paul_p: well... but I plan to start 4.0 in nov (at least discussions about it) too. 19:13 paul_p (branch solR or something like that) 19:13 thd sekjal: Do you think that one year is too short for 4.0? 19:13 paul_p fredericd, git.biblibre.com 19:13 Brooke unless someone comes to summat brilliant in like 5 minutes. 19:12 fredericd Paul: Where is published the new search API implement by your SolR search engine? 19:12 Brooke I think we table this part. 19:12 Brooke over here. 19:12 paul_p nengard, did I said that ? 19:12 Brooke it's 3.12 19:12 Brooke so here's what I'm gonna say 19:12 ColinC but we arn't tied to that ... numbers are marketing making things dependent on a magic number holds things up 19:12 nengard paul you said you'd start 4.0 in november ... that's one month after we start 3.8 19:12 sekjal paul_p: I do not agree with the 1 year timeline for 4.0 19:12 paul_p sekjal, it's also my proposal. So I don't understand where our propositions differ ? 19:11 cait the question is how to make that happen 19:11 * Brooke throws up the horns! 19:11 cait I think we can agree to change to 4.0 once we have rewrote the search api for zebra and solr 19:11 Brooke 3 > 4 gamification! 19:11 paul_p ColinC, we use to change the 1st number when there is a major structural change 1=>2 = MARC 2=>3 = zebra 19:11 sekjal my proposal would have 3 main branches at once: 3.4.x, 3.6.x and master. this would change to 3.6.x, 3.8.x and master when 3.4 is EOLed 19:11 thd mtj++ 19:11 ColinC ++mtj 19:10 cait paul_p: with ian's proposal we would not have diverging branches 19:10 mtj ... koha 4.0 should be released when its done 19:10 mtj i think we don't need to commit to a 4.0 release in 12 months, too 19:10 paul_p nengard, good point. and sekjal suggestion to have 3.10 / 3.12 ... while workin on 4.0 also has this kind of problem 19:10 ColinC yes 19:10 nengard ColinC you mean 4.0? 19:09 nengard just too much to maintain for our small group 19:09 ColinC and why 3.0 why not 3.10? 19:09 nengard right! 19:09 cait nengard: agreed - and maintenance for 3.4 19:09 nengard I have a hard enough time testing patches for one version at a time 19:09 nengard i'm not following everything we're talking about - but am i right in my understanding that we'd be working on 4.0 and 3.8 at the same time ... essentially creating forks of our own? 19:08 cait I like Ian's proposal better 19:08 cait it really worries me about Paul's proposal 19:08 cait and i think this is something we have to talk about 19:08 paul_p yep. brainstorm for, say, 2 months, then start works. And do works in // 19:08 slef paul_p: or you could start laying the ground as part of 3.8 and accept that maybe someone else will finish 4.0 or restart it. OK? 19:08 sekjal I feel that anything major enough to warrant a full version number jump is major enough to need as much community input as possible 19:08 marcelr i understand that he wants to run in parallel 19:07 sekjal nengard++ 19:07 nengard can't we just brainstorm without an RM? 19:07 nengard Do we need an RM for 4.0 to start talking about what 4.0 is going to be? 19:06 paul_p I prefer saying things now. 19:06 paul_p Brooke, the problem here is that either I don't start 4.0 because i've not been elected or I start anyway hoping everybody will thank me at the end. 19:06 Brooke slef: I think that'd clear things up. 19:05 cait Brooke: I think we have to figure this out first before we can vote 19:05 slef yeah and I had no answer to the direct question: Is paul_p willing to stand for reappointment next time? 19:05 Brooke cause our tiny brains can't handle it. 19:05 paul_p yep, I confirm it is. 19:05 Brooke I realise, but I'm sayin vote on one release at a time 19:04 paul_p so, my application is for both versions. 19:04 cait Brooke: I think it has to be clarified because Paul's proposal is for both 19:04 paul_p well... but I plan to start 4.0 in nov (at least discussions about it) too. 19:04 Brooke I do not want to go for three. 19:04 Brooke and beaten once more 19:04 Brooke the horse has been beaten 19:04 Brooke you clarified 19:04 Brooke I never said it was for 4.0 19:04 Brooke It is for 3.8 19:04 paul_p tcohen++ 19:04 slef ok, well, we wait and see... this vote should still be for 3.8 not 4.0 IMO 19:03 paul_p tajoli++ 19:03 paul_p yep, definetly. 19:03 Brooke tajoli++ 19:03 slef reading that message to see if I've misunderstood it 19:03 paul_p slef, nope, you misunderstand = we've redesigned the search API to have it modular. And we made the solR stuff (because it was sponsored), tajoli has started the zebra stuff 19:02 slef Not in the way you want. It sounds backwards. So the API has been designed for Solr and Zebra is being tacked on as an afterthought? I don't see why what works is being treated as second-class citizen. 19:01 paul_p (well, if you need more clarification, ask on koha-devel or the way you want) 19:01 paul_p slef, does it answer your concern ? 19:01 Brooke any further commentary? 19:01 Brooke cause there's a lot of side talk going on here 19:00 Brooke if you could go through the log, pick out what you've said, and post it, that'd be fab. 19:00 paul_p slef = Message-ID: <4E5E3F88.1070508@biblibre.com> 19:00 sekjal Brooke: I believe I have presented my proposal in it's entirety. I welcome any further feedback or requests for clarification 19:00 mtj the one thing everyone agrees on is that the new Koha::Search code works with both solr and zebra 19:00 paul_p the API is expected to be flexible enough to let us add other search engines later 18:59 paul_p slef: our work on solr change a lot the internals of searching. tajoli & some others have started reintegrated zebra through this new API 18:59 tajoli The feature are over the API 18:59 tajoli Now Biblire has done a new API search on Solr. What we need to do is to develop the same API on Zebra 18:59 slef paul_p: maybe not. I'm struggling to follow the lists recently. Got message-id? 18:59 paul_p (s/can/must ;-) ) 18:59 sekjal and then, yes, they would need to be aware that they'll either need to be on a fork for while, or possibly lose the feature if it never gets accepted 18:58 sekjal paul_p: your company can certainly make the contractual arrangements to have a feature on their server by X date 18:58 paul_p slef, have you seen my mail on koha-devel about the work some ppl are doing to have zebra reintegrated ? 18:58 tajoli Clerly not. The big work is to do is to add Zebra in parallel 18:57 schuster slef++ 18:57 paul_p sekjal, what we say is "well, you get the feature X at the expected date, but we can't guarantee when it will be integrated in official Koha. So you may have to wait, or, even, have to abandon your feature. Or stay with your fork" 18:57 Brooke Sekjal: said your peace? 18:57 Brooke okay 18:57 slef ...so all this talk of "Solr changes everything in searching" is a bit scary. 18:57 cait tajoli: I can only tell from my experience, hebrew and roman letters work well for us 18:56 slef I don't feel that I have enough data on the wiki to vote for paul_p for 4.0 and I will not vote for manifesto-free candidates on principle. I'm concerned that Solr's larger server requirements don't compromise our happy Zebra users. 18:56 tajoli In fact Zebra support every alphabeth, but all in the same time !! 18:56 paul_p (once a library has adopted Koha it's usually different , fortunatly) 18:56 tajoli The problem is the mix of many alphabeths 18:55 paul_p that's why we develop on stable, then port on master 18:55 cait tajoli: we have pretty good experience with hebrew and german 18:55 slef sekjal: I think you mean the community's quality control. 18:55 paul_p in France, the RFP always says "i want this and that, and at this date" 18:54 paul_p sekjal, maybe in US you can explain, but in france, you can't ! 18:54 wizzyrea ^^ a very good point 18:54 oleonard sekjal++ 18:54 sekjal which could take longer 18:54 sekjal it must meet the community's guidelines and procedures 18:54 sekjal paul_p: library A needs to understand that just because they sponsor a change doesn't mean it will get into Koha on their schedule 18:54 cait and from the same base 18:54 paul_p we (biblibre) face this problem already for H:T:P and T:T 18:54 tajoli In fact Zebra is well for english data, not for a user of mine with greeck + arabic+armenian+ slavic 18:54 cait better bring it all together at one point in time 18:54 Brooke oleonard: if you're planning things out, usage consideration is part of that and might declutter some menus and such 18:54 ColinC tying a bunch of features to a magic number like 4.0 doesent necessarily work 18:53 paul_p and that will be a pain. 18:53 paul_p sekjal, suppose library A sponsor a feature, he will want it "asap". So on 3.x . you'll have to "rewrite" it for 4.0. 18:53 sekjal I would also like to see: arbitrary metadata formats, revist patron data structure, mobile templates 18:53 marcelr afraid so too 18:53 cait I am woried about having 2 branches, they will diverge pretty fast and be hard to bring together 18:53 cait I like sekjal's proposal 18:53 paul_p the move to Koha name space, solR, ... 18:53 sekjal I believe that Solr support is just one of the features that should be part of Koha 4.0 18:53 oleonard Brooke: ? 18:53 tajoli And Solr is for international support bugsù 18:52 paul_p well, I don't say "impossible", but I think it must be evaluated very carefully. 18:52 paul_p but I plan to do more ! 18:52 Brooke sekjal: this sounds happy for interface design. Am I off? 18:52 paul_p tajoli++ 18:52 tajoli IMHO label 4.0 is stritly connect with Solr. That is a big change. it is enough to change number 18:52 sekjal so the 'plumbing' changes can be done first, thus laying the groundwork for all the porcelain 18:51 sekjal paul_p: my hope is that in the stages where we identify the features for 4.0, we also identify the underlying structural changes common to all those features 18:51 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6854] import_borrowers.pl : Double password encryption on member update if there is no password in the csv and no default password value. <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6854> 18:51 paul_p for example : the solR work changes everything in searching. 18:51 paul_p sekjal, except that if 4.0 include major structural changes, it will quickly be a pain 18:50 cait sekjal: ok, thx 18:50 thd sekjal: I suspect the actual development process depends more on what actually happens than any real overarching plan. 18:50 sekjal and would need to be rebased frequently 18:50 paul_p cait, I think you rise a good & major point 18:50 sekjal cait: features would all be on topic branches, based on master 18:50 cait and rebase those on current master for 4.0? 18:49 Brooke (Don't quite like the way that's phrased, so feel free to edit it. Just want to highlight the meat of this.) 18:49 sekjal we would continue on 3.X until all the features are developed for 4.0 18:48 Brooke #idea long term development goals coupled with short term release cycles 18:48 sekjal as we do with master currently 18:48 sekjal every 6 months, the features that are well tested and ready for inclusion could be released as part of the 3.X release cycle 18:48 sekjal these would be features that would be things we could reasonably expect to complete in the next year or two 18:47 cait let's answer one question after the other or this will all get very confusing in here 18:47 sekjal the community would get together and enumerate the features that would define Koha 4.0 18:47 Brooke ^ 18:47 wizzyrea (I think he's still talking) 18:47 paul_p do you mean we would have 2 versions at the same time ? 18:46 paul_p what would be in 3.10, 3.12,... ? 18:46 sekjal meanwhile, starting early in the 3.8 release cycle 18:46 sekjal every 6 months 18:46 sekjal 3.8 to 3.10 to 3.12, etc 18:46 sekjal continue the 3.X release cycle on a timed basis 18:45 sekjal I would counterpropose this: 18:45 paul_p sekjal, why ? 18:45 sekjal but I disagree that Koha 4.0 should be time-released for 12 months after 3.6 18:45 sekjal I agree that we need to start thinking past the next timed release cycle 18:45 paul_p slef, my proposal is for both 3.8 and 4.0, as I think both must be started at the same time, as 4.0 is a "long term" change in my mind 18:44 Brooke discuss away 18:44 sekjal I have some discussion about paul_p's proposal I'd like to bring up 18:44 slef Is paul_p willing to stand for reappointment next time? 18:44 oleonard I agree with slef. 18:44 marcelr i like his proposal; will be hard to realize probably, but we probably need more concensus on changing procedures? 18:44 paul_p thanks nengard & sekjal for adding you as doc & qa 18:44 Brooke any discussion? 18:44 slef I want to be clear that this is only for 3.8, not 4.0 too. 18:44 Brooke no one else for that 18:43 cait #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_3.8 18:43 nengard hehe 18:43 paul_p Top Sucker... not sure I'll like this name ;-) 18:42 Brooke aka RM 18:42 Brooke for Top Sucker I've Paul Poulain 18:42 paul_p it's like for me : all frenchies like escargots.

If a specific syspref setup must be defined for a given language (like unimarc for frenchies), you still can have a fr/syspref.sql, that contains only UPDATE 18:35 * chris_n has whined for large, clean sets of demo data for years :-) 18:35 sekjal well, anonymized, or just wiped completely and reloaded with demo data 18:35 wizzyrea ^^ 18:34 sekjal the current test data will be taken from the sponsoring libraries systems, and would need to be anonymized before letting other folks have access for testing 18:34 slef chris_n: ta 18:34 chris_n slef: blo/cri 3.4.x bugs now number 4... http://tinyurl.com/3m9qbpb 18:34 sekjal oleonard: patron data 18:34 wahanui privacy issues are taken very seriously around here - some libraries even refuse to use google books - because it asks google every time 18:34 oleonard sekjal: privacy issues? 18:33 paul_p thanks to magnus, we now have only one syspref.sql file, shared by all languages. located at (searching) 18:33 cait not having to edit a lot of sql files any longer, but only add new sysprefs to the en file 18:33 sekjal I'd like to open that to the community in general, once we can figure out the privacy issues to the libraries' satisfaction 18:33 cait will be simplified for developers 18:33 paul_p Since 3.4, the description is now stored in the template scope, no more in the SQL database. It means we don't need anymore to have a syspref.sql file defined for each language 18:33 sekjal rhcl: the Holds Rewrite is currently in the testing phase. ByWater Solutions is bringing up a test server to allow the sponsors to test the coded features against their own, familiar data 18:32 cait magnuse++ 18:32 paul_p the patch for 6537 has been pushed. It means the syspref system will be simplified a lot for translators. 18:32 nengard i thnk there is a detailed rfc on the wiki ... 18:31 rhcl would anyone care to provide a bit of amplification on the holds rewrite if this is an appropriate time 18:31 Brooke go Paul :) 18:31 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6537 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, magnus, ASSIGNED , Simplified sysprefs for the web installer 18:31 Brooke bug 6537 18:31 Brooke that said 18:30 Brooke well, we will keep working on our slow hunches, and if anyone has any bril ideas, start a wiki page, write em down, and flag stuff on the next agenda 18:30 marcelr i think so too 18:30 schuster I feel we have been here before too... 18:29 Brooke I get the sinking feeling this is a big procedure question and is like to be revisited. Anyone else think so? 18:28 paul_p http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.2/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService.html maybe 18:28 oleonard slef: Yeah, people can find stuff to do if they want to look for it. Most already have plenty to work on. 18:28 paul_p if anyone has a link about bz webservices,... 18:28 slef ultimately, it's not hard to find dusty bugs if any dev has time, is it? 18:27 paul_p Brooke, from Hugin side, probably. The question is also = what can bugzilla provide ? 18:26 oleonard Right, it's the author of the submitted patch who needs the reminder 18:26 sekjal we can set up Bugzilla to use Bug Whining to send emails out on a regular basis, with a list of bug reports meeting whatever saved search we like 18:26 cait I think don#t make it too much bot messages 18:26 marcelr who contacts the original author in order to get possible reply? 18:26 cait he already nags abou tneeds sign-off 18:26 Brooke like on GBSD? 18:25 Brooke can we programme Huginn to nag about dusty bugs? 18:25 cait perhps we should add the pending deadlines to the log? 18:25 Brooke #idea handle mouldy enhancements differently than mouldy bugs 18:24 paul_p (like : you're a french library, using unimarc, printing your itemcallnumber labels, on a A3 printer) 18:24 paul_p or a bug that happens only in a rare situation 18:24 cait or a feature not a lot of people use 18:23 paul_p you're probably right sekjal 18:23 sekjal then again, if no one is willing to take up a bug fix, it must not be very bad 18:23 Brooke yep if it's divided into superceded for bugs that don't apply and abandoned for enhancements with no owner, might be clearer. Mebbe no. 18:23 cait sekjal: I like that idea 18:23 sekjal unfortunately, if no one is willing to take up a bug fix, we won't get very far by assigning it 18:22 sekjal we could assign these enhancements a different Closed status for easy retrieval 18:22 slef paul_p: in debian, the QA team would ask for people to take them over I think 18:22 oleonard I agree with that proposal paul_p 18:22 paul_p superceded ? 18:22 Brooke for things that no longer apply 18:22 slef A small reminder: signer-offers please read the patch and make sure it doesn't introduce new bugs or include unrelated junk. 18:21 paul_p enhancements = close them after a toBeDefined time maybe 18:21 Brooke mebbe use superceded 18:21 paul_p bugfixes = keep them open, if the bug is still here, it's usefull 18:21 cait if the bug still remains someone else can work on it I would think 18:21 paul_p I feel the answer should be different for bugfixes and for enhancements 18:21 paul_p I wanted to ask : should we do something with "Failed QA" or "Does Not Apply" patches that seems "abandonned" by their original author ? 18:20 thd #info Thomas Dukleth, Agogme, New York City [with a disembodied connection] 18:20 paul_p there are still some (i made one today. patch not sent yet) 18:19 paul_p theu number of T::T issues is decreasing. 18:19 schuster Thanks paul_p for the descriptive reasoning.. I have been busy with other things for a couple of months and didn't know if it was mainly Template Toolkit type stuff or just bad rebase. 18:19 paul_p (I mean "does not apply". Rough number given by "my feeling @", a trademark from me ;) ) 18:19 sekjal patches from before the Template::Toolkit conversion in 3.4 are especially lengthy to rebase, as any interface changes must be redone in the new language 18:18 libsysguy ^^ 18:18 paul_p from my experience, sometimes (maybe 60% of the time), it's easy to rebase. Sometimes (30%) it's tricky, and 10% it's hard (patch must be rewritten) 18:18 sekjal I will fail a patch in QA if it does not do what it proports to do, if it introduces other bugs or issues, or if it violates style guidelines 18:17 paul_p (dna anymore because other patches have been pushed and a rebase is needed) 18:17 nengard and what paul_p said about the other :) 18:17 sekjal given that this is a MAJOR change to many core modules, testing needs to be thorough and painstaking, lest we break library circulation 18:17 paul_p schuster: I think the main reason for does not apply is "does not apply anymore" 18:17 nengard if the patch doesn't fix the problem it fails 18:17 oleonard There's no main reason 18:17 nengard it totally depends on the patch 18:17 schuster What is the main reason for failed or does not apply? 18:16 sekjal so hourly loans are now onto the QA stage 18:16 paul_p #info 55 patches are "failed QA" and 44 are "does not apply" 18:16 libsysguy yes we are 18:16 sekjal This development has been signed off by libsysguy, who I believe is using the branch in production 18:16 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5549 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, ian.walls, ASSIGNED , Hourly Loans 18:16 Brooke bug 5549 18:15 sekjal so far, we have only had to revert one commit 18:15 Brooke hourly loans were one of Paul's questions, wanna go into gorey blow by blow detail? 18:15 Brooke #info 50 patches need QA, and around 80 needing signoff, get to gettin'. 18:15 sekjal major developments that are nearing fruition include Hourly Loans and the Holds Rewrite 18:15 paul_p and many "don't apply" or "failed QA" anymore (and that's a pity if it fixed a bug) 18:14 sekjal patches have been progressing through the process slowly but continuously 18:14 sekjal as mentioned a few lines early, we're at approximately 50 patches needing QA, and around 80 needing signoff 18:14 Brooke Ian's got the floor 18:14 Brooke hooray 18:14 * slef holds 3.6 down for sekjal to give it a damn good talking to 18:13 sekjal Brooke: I think I can speak a bit to 3.6 18:13 chris_n it probably can be closed 18:13 Brooke anyone not named Paul wanna do the update on 3.6 so Paul can ask questions. 18:13 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5995 blocker, PATCH-Sent, ---, matthias.meusburger, ASSIGNED , Glitch with checkauth 18:13 chris_n bug 5995 has been back ported to both 3.2.x and 3.4.x btw 18:13 * slef gets out of the way before Brooke runs him over 18:13 Brooke #topic Roadmap to 3.6 18:12 slef cait: ok, later 18:12 cait slef: i signed off the first patch, but not sure how to reproduce the problem for the secon dpatch 18:12 slef yeah, OK.

I said we would base it on 3.6, since our clients will go with the 3.6 version 15:59 fredericd fcapo: To be sure not to do a mistake: you ask me to base 3.4 fr-CA .po files on their fr-FR current counterpart? and load them on Pootle? 15:57 fcapo fredericd: Then, you're free to rebase fr-FR off of fr-CA anytime. 15:56 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6836] jQuery plugin Datatables integration <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6836> / [Bug 6838] Filtering and pagination in subscriptions table <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6838> 15:56 fcapo fredericd: To answer your fr-CA question : If fr-CA can be based on the 3.6.0 fr-FR, we will do what we can to translate what's left to translate in the staff interface. I can't really give a schedule, but we will need a working fr-CA for the end of november. 15:53 wizzyrea well "require..." your cleverness would be appreciated ^.^ with cookies. 15:53 wizzyrea i require your sql brilliance :) 15:52 wizzyrea cait - about? 15:49 wizzyrea *nod* 15:49 lastnode meetng in 2 hours? 15:36 * wizzyrea happened to be poking around in that section just yesterday 15:35 wizzyrea http://manual.koha-community.org/3.4/en/systemfaq.html#publicztarget 15:35 sekjal http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/systemfaq.html 15:35 libsysguy but i think i found out what i was doing wring int he conf file 15:35 libsysguy ok ill keep looking 15:34 wizzyrea yea, i'm SURE I saw it in the manual 15:33 sekjal libsysguy: it should be in the manual, yes. if not, you just need to uncomment the 'publicserver' configs in koha-conf.xml, and restart Zebra 15:33 libsysguy but I don't see anything on being a target 15:33 libsysguy it says how to set up targets 15:32 wizzyrea libsysguy I think it's in the manual 15:31 jcamins_away Search the wiki? 15:31 jcamins_away I don't know, actually. 15:31 jcamins_away Hm. I don't know anything about setting up Z39.50 servers. 15:31 zipporah Thanks very much. I have seen how it works and we shall just do it right away. Bye for now. 15:30 libsysguy is there any documentation on how to set up the z39.50 search server for outside access? 15:29 libsysguy i know that i have the right ports opened on the firewall 15:29 libsysguy well that is what they were trying to do 15:28 jcamins_away libsysguy: did you confirm that you can connect to the Z39.50 server from outside the firewall? 15:28 libsysguy and I think my config might be wrong 15:28 jcamins_away I don't know anything about how it works. 15:28 wizzyrea from what I can tell, accountlines.date is the date the fine or payment is made, without the timestamp. The timestamp is the actual time. 15:28 libsysguy yeah they keep trying to connect but keep failing 15:28 jcamins_away libsysguy: yeah, RefWorks might be able to use a Z39.50 server. 15:27 libsysguy and if they would allow us to set it up we should use that instead of RIS 15:27 libsysguy jcamins weren't you telling me something about refworks and a z39.50 server 15:26 reiveune bye 15:23 cait zipporah: you woul dhave to run a script too - batch edit will take care of everything 15:22 cait zipporah: the problem is you can't do it easily with sql only in 3.2 15:21 wizzyrea good luck :) 15:21 zipporah I am very new to Koha. I will look at it and I will let you know of my progress on that. Regards. 15:20 fcapo fredericd: Our plan is to switch our clients directly to version 3.6 when it is ready, so can't we just contribute on fr-FR while waiting for the string freeze, then base fr-CA on fr-FR around the 3.6.0 release? The fr-CA specific modifications would stay on fr-CA. 15:19 wizzyrea under more -> tools 15:19 wizzyrea zipporah: have you looked at the batch item processing at all? 15:19 zipporah I wonder if I have put my question clear! 15:17 zipporah We are using Koha 3.2 from livecd. 15:17 zipporah frederic, would you be a good SQL or MySQL programmer to help me with an SQL code to change the "ordered" status to "available" on a lot of books instead of looking for them manually? 15:14 fredericd cait: yes 15:14 cait fredericd: do you have a min? 15:13 cait :) 15:13 wizzyrea cool 15:13 cait wizzyrea: batch is 3.2 15:13 zipporah Have I put the question straight? 15:11 zipporah We have just installed Koha 3.2 livecd. 15:11 wizzyrea well, that would be on 3.4 15:11 fredericd The question is : will you translate all staff interface and how long will it take? 15:11 wizzyrea More -> Tools 15:11 wizzyrea zipporah: have you investigated the batch modification 15:10 fredericd Then you work on fr-CA OPAC language tweaking and you translate staff. As soon as you finished staff translation I base fr-FR staff on you version and we tweak it for French librarians... 15:10 zipporah Friends, can you help me with an SQL code that can help to reverse "Ordered" indicator on hundreds of books to allow for available status. The was a mistake when manually catoging them. 15:09 fredericd fcapo: We can base fr-CA on fr-FR 3.4 current .po files. You will get a fully translated OPAC interface and preferences. It remains an important work on staff interface 15:04 trea can someone explain what accountlines.date and accountlines.timestamp are recording, and the difference between the two? 15:00 fcapo fredericd: Our clients want a fully translated fr Koha, but with some terms changed for the french-canadian context. They also now want to share those changes with the community. Any ideas on how we could do that without causing a duplication of efforts? 14:58 slef yikes, meetings have just stolen my Thursday 14:55 Agent_Dani Which is doubly fun - I got in at 06:45 today and I have a class at 19:30 so it will be too late for me to go home for a while before class. :-\ 14:54 fcapo fredericd: Ok, that's what I thought... 14:54 * Agent_Dani realizes she has a meeting scheduled until 17:00 today... 14:51 fredericd fcapo: From 3.2 to 3.4, the switch to Template Toolkit implies that a LOT of string that were translated have to be retranslated... So in any case, even if we try to base 3.4 .po file on you 3.2 fr-CA translation, I'm sure we will reach almost the same (poor) result 14:49 * jcamins_away doesn't actually know what most of the websites he reads regularly look like. 14:48 fcapo We had our own 3.2 fr-CA translation, but our file has a lot of new string that can't apply for a clean 3.4 Koha. 14:46 jcamins_away Yup. 14:46 oleonard ebooks have so many rant-worthy attributes. 14:46 nengard i'm the same :) 14:46 nengard i totally understand 14:45 oleonard nengard: I usually read your posts in RSS, so I missed it! 14:45 fredericd Do you have other .po files for 3.2? 14:45 * Agent_Dani finds that to be her usual state at oh-dark-thirty. :) 14:44 fredericd fcapo: fr-CA 3.4 is based on last .po files from 3.2 git version 14:44 nengard woke up annoyed 14:44 nengard :) 14:44 nengard i guess you all saw my rant 14:44 nengard got it :) 14:43 jcamins_away nengard: the last time I looked at your site was probably around when I first met you. 14:43 nengard it's been that way for at least a year now .... 14:43 nengard since when? 14:43 nengard huh? 14:40 fcapo Another translation question : the fr-CA language for 3.4 just got created on translate.koha-community.org , but its translations are way out of date. Can I base the fr-CA translation off of the existing fr-FR translation? 14:39 hdl sekjal: pazpar2 is tester 14:38 jcamins_away Huh. So she has. 14:35 * oleonard hadn't noticed nengard redesigned her site... 14:33 kf fcapo: try sending a mail to the translation list 14:33 kf no, the files can be updated 14:31 fcapo hello, is it possible to port a .po translation file from version 3.2 to 3.4, or do I need to start from a new file? 14:28 trea o/ 14:26 Agent_Dani \o 14:10 jcamins_away That's it. 14:10 wizzyrea ^^ 14:10 sekjal jcamins_away: pazpar2 14:09 jcamins_away I have no idea if it works- I've never heard of anyone using it. 14:09 jcamins_away I forget what it's called, but Koha has a built-in federated search plugin. 14:09 jcamins_away Maybe the federated search thingy could do it? 14:08 rhcl searching on DSpace would probably require opening the OPAC view in a browser 14:06 kf hm 14:06 rhcl So conceptually, you might search on Koha, get results from both db's, and links to DSpace would either pull up the document if stand alone, or open DSpace for the viewer 14:06 trea roy merritt 14:06 kf what would... do? 14:05 trea WWRMD? 14:04 rhcl federated search on both Koha and DSpace.

I told them how to set it up by hand, and that's fine. It's just too many records to manually change the headers, so I'm automating that step. 05:50 cait a little more support by plugins in cataloging woul dbe nice 05:49 cait I thin it will work 05:49 eythian this library wants to use it to catalogue songbooks, and files of newspaper clippings, and such. 05:49 cait makes it even stranger :) 05:49 cait we have not only analytics, but also set records for multi-volume things 05:48 cait I was not sure if anyone else will want to use this 05:48 eythian OK. Most of the MARC standard is pretty strange to me. 05:48 cait yes, i tried to keep as close to the standard as possible 05:47 eythian ah yeah. I assume they are to the standard, because they seem pretty strange to me. 05:46 cait for the analytics link and checks for the headers 05:45 eythian for which? 05:45 cait you can blame me for that 05:45 * cait nods 05:44 eythian So that Koha will actually show the links at all. 05:44 eythian yeah. Now I'm just working on having a script edit the headers so that if they are linked up, they have the right types set. 05:43 cait yep, standard says to use control number for linking 05:43 eythian I autogenerated one on importing the records, as it needed one to hook up analytics, and it was coming from a not-very-MARC-supporting system. 05:43 cait since controlnumber is used for linking records some people have asked for a plugin 05:42 eythian ah right 05:42 eythian (and unlikely to cause issues with what I'm doing) 05:42 cait and then 004 shows where the number comes from 05:42 eythian ah, my import will always create an 024$a, so I can tell that it's not my data, so not my problem :) 05:42 cait I think it's only populated if you download the file from somewhere 05:41 cait it doesn't 05:41 cait no 05:40 eythian (I'm seeing a number of records that have 020$a, 245$a, 999$c and $d, and nothing else. It's odd.) 05:39 eythian when cataloguing in Koha, does it automatically populate the 001 control field? 05:07 rangi this driver thinks he is in a race 05:06 rangi back from the bus 04:50 Brooke right sleepy time for tossers. 04:47 Oak see ya rangi. 04:45 cait bye rangi 04:45 cait :) 04:44 Brooke ciao bello 04:44 rangi and gt an nw kyboard tomorrow 04:44 * Brooke s w key sticks like a bastage. 04:44 rangi i think ill call it a day 04:44 Brooke can I buy a vowel? 04:44 rangi :) 04:44 eythian É™? 04:43 rangi missing a lttr can you guss which on 04:43 rangi gah my kyboard is brokn 04:40 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4530 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, srdjan, ASSIGNED , Circulation & fines rules aren't always applied from most specific to less specific 04:40 cait rangi: do you know if bug 4530 will conflict with hte patches to bring allowonshelfholds to circ matrix? 04:39 cait one for 4831 - yay :) 04:39 cait I see some interesting patches on the list :) 04:39 cait :) 04:37 Oak Guten Morgen cait 04:37 Oak hello #koha 04:37 Brooke :)\ 04:37 Oak Hello Brooke :) 04:37 Brooke hi Oak 04:33 rangi hi cait 04:31 cait hi Brooke morning #koha 04:22 Brooke 0/ 04:17 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 4831] Actual Price being ignored after receive <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4831> 04:06 * Brooke suspects that DCA can have their tower route on the little mister's snoring... 04:05 Brooke kamate au 03:25 rangi http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2011-09-06#i_757330 03:24 Brooke ah, sorry mate. 03:24 rangi you misunderestimate the amount he doesnt want to learn 03:23 Brooke and then reimport? 03:23 Brooke install clean 03:23 Brooke can't he just export the records 03:22 Brooke but it's 500 now that's the problem.

Lots of processes want to tell you things. 00:21 rangi without it 00:21 rangi how can koha send overdue notices, or warn people their reserves are ready etc 00:21 lastnode i will run one when we deploy fully with asubdomain, i think 00:21 lastnode is it essential? 00:21 lastnode i would prefer to simply not runa mailserver though, ill be watching koha logs etc. 00:20 eythian mostly because I know it better. 00:20 eythian it's the debian default, but I also prefer postfix 00:20 lastnode for whatever reason 00:20 lastnode linode seems to recommend exim4 00:19 rangi postfix 00:19 rangi a real mailserver ;) 00:19 lastnode i dont have a FQDN btw, only a hostname 00:19 rangi naw 00:19 lastnode so i just apt-get exim4? 00:19 lastnode eythian: but certainly not every second like mail.err shows 00:19 eythian turn the mailing off. 00:19 rangi which it does do 00:19 rangi that way koha can send mail also 00:19 eythian I see then 00:19 eythian ahh 00:18 lastnode because fail2ban tries to mail me stuff 00:18 rangi it doesnt need to listen on anything other than localhost:25 too 00:18 eythian it seems unlikely that fail2ban would cause that. 00:18 eythian Also, I recommend running a real mailserver anyway, it's smarter and also will send you things like cron job messages when something goes wrong. 00:18 lastnode it's possibly fail2ban though 00:18 lastnode no 00:18 eythian does nullmailer have something telling you what it's trying to do? 00:17 lastnode as is mail.warn 00:17 eythian hmm, that's fishy 00:17 lastnode mail.err is full of stuff liek taht 00:17 lastnode Sep 7 05:45:21 li328-112 nullmailer[16175]: Sending failed: Host not found 00:17 lastnode i dont run a mailserver. i dont need one. 00:16 lastnode is that normal? 00:15 lastnode lol 00:15 lastnode /var/log is 4gig 00:11 lastnode and i didnt realise so many people wanetd my box 00:11 lastnode this is the first time im running a vps 00:06 rhcl cool beans 00:06 eythian awesome :) 00:03 lastnode we start using koha at my school today, as a pilot! 00:03 lastnode hi all
