I PREFER to be paid after january 2003... for taxes reasons. In fact, I planned to ask you to wait until january to pay if I won the RFP... (NO PROBLEM WITH IT though. I find funny to read 8 years old emails...) 15:29 kf someone remembers what this was about? 15:31 jcamins kf: changes the from address when patrons request a change to their record. 15:31 kf the mail goes to the library I thought? 15:31 kf or the answer address? 15:31 jcamins The messages goes to the librarian, with the patron's address in the from: field. 15:32 kf ah 15:32 kf so you can answer directly 15:32 jcamins Right. 15:32 * jcamins has never tried that feature. 15:32 kf thx :) 15:33 jcamins paul_p: I'm confused about the updatedatabase thing. 15:34 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 7167] updatedatabase improvements <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7167> 15:34 jcamins paul_p: your proposal is that everything to be backported to 3.6.x has to be implemented twice? 15:35 * chris_n reads it that way 15:35 kf perhaps chris_n's solution will be a lot less trouble 15:35 chris_n I'm wondering what real objection there could be in moving 3.6.x to the proposed new update system 15:35 kf I am not sure at all what we gain with the new process :( 15:36 kf it seems we only make it easier to have local database customizatons 15:36 kf which I am not sure is a good idea at all 15:36 jcamins chris_n: that's how I read it, too, but it seems a lot more complicated. 15:36 paul_p jcamins, right. 15:36 paul_p chris_n, I don't understand your last email. 15:36 jcamins kf: the new way of managing updatedatabase seems much preferable to me, but not having two different schemes. 15:36 jcamins paul_p: why? 15:37 jcamins paul_p: it seems to me that having two schemes just raises the barrier for entry. 15:37 paul_p ( jcamins right for "everything to be ... implemented twice". At least it was. With the idea of having updatedatabase30to36 then updatedatabase (new one), that's ok) 15:37 paul_p jcamins, right, that's why, now i'm proposing just to have 2 updatedatabase, as we had when upgrading 2.2 to 3.0 15:38 paul_p chris_n, I don't understand your last email. 15:38 chris_n what a time to be kiked by bip 15:38 jcamins paul_p: so with the two, new things will be in upgradedatabase only, and old things will be in upgradedatabase30to36 only? 15:38 kf paul_p: that sounds complicated to me - for the libraries 15:38 kf lots of explanations needed 15:38 jcamins So that new features only need one implementation? 15:38 chris_n paul_p: moving 3.6.x to the proposed new updatedatabase will relieve a lot of work 15:38 kf when you come from that version, do this... when you come from this... do soemthing else 15:38 chris_n both for devs and the RMaint 15:39 jcamins kf: no, not too bad... 3.6.1.whatever would run updatedatabase30to36. 15:39 chris_n as I said, I see no real reason not to move 3.6.x along that path 15:40 chris_n the current updatedatabase.pl could contain an update which pushes current installs over to the new system 15:40 paul_p chris_n & jcamins & kf, I think i'm not clear, but that's the easiest way. I'll try to be clear: 15:40 chris_n so then you just go on living like you normally would and life is good 15:40 jcamins chris_n: agreed. 15:40 chris_n well, most of the time ;-) 15:40 kf chris_n: sounds good to me 15:41 paul_p - patches that introduce an updatedb, that is for 3.6 will be in the 3.6 updatedatabase 15:41 paul_p - patch that introduce an updatedb that is for 3.8 will be in the 3.8 (new) updatedatabase 15:41 kf can't the new system check for the version? and not ask to do those that are marked to be in 3.6? 15:41 paul_p - someone upgrading from 3.4 to 3.8 will just have to run updatedatabase (3.6) THEN updatedatabase (3.8) 15:42 chris_n that will probably work as well as the current need of devs writing two patches for 3.4.x and 3.6.x 15:42 jcamins paul_p: that seems like an added complication. 15:42 chris_n it does not happen that way very often.. oleonard excepted 15:42 mib_87cyjt Hey all 15:42 paul_p jcamins, why ? it's much much more complex to backport the new system to 3.6 ! (and much more risky !) 15:42 kf chris_n: I think you are right - having to write patches for 2 systems is hard, and moving from one to the other will be too 15:42 kf what happens later with the new system? 15:42 mib_87cyjt I was on earlier about a strange problem with 3.6 15:42 jcamins paul_p: why can't the new updatedatabase call the old one (or the old one upgrade itself to the new one)? 15:42 paul_p kf, right, and with this proposal, we don't have this problem 15:43 kf won't we have that problem again? moving from 3.8.3 to 4.0? 15:43 kf I think this is all the problems we get by delinearizing... 15:43 mib_87cyjt Edited or checked in items show as either still checked out or it zero-ises the items on the bib 15:43 kf it will happen constantly 15:43 paul_p kf, hopefully, the updatedatabase system is not changed everyday !!! 15:43 jcamins paul_p: but, if we don't backport the system to 3.6, 3.6 won't get bugfixes. 15:43 kf no 15:43 kf but hwo will the system now? 15:43 chris_n in reality, multi-version upgrades should do sequential calls to the respective version's updatedatabase.pl 15:43 kf know 15:43 kf ? 15:43 kf which updates to apply? 15:44 jcamins kf: it has a list of possible updates and a list of updates which have been applied. 15:44 paul_p jcamins, why ? yes it will. and bugfixes with an updatedatabase will be made on 3.6 updatedatabase. nothing changed 15:44 kf jcamins: checking by name? 15:44 jcamins paul_p: because I only have time to write code once. 15:44 kf so I have the file applied in 3.8.x and 4.0.x will have the file too, but know it's the same? 15:44 paul_p chris_n, sequential calls = right, as we did for 2.2-> 3.0 for example 15:44 jcamins paul_p: actually, I don't even have time for that. 15:44 paul_p jcamins, but you'll just have to write code once !!! 15:44 jcamins kf: probably by some sort of hash. 15:44 jcamins paul_p: okay, I'm still confused then. 15:45 paul_p if your code is a bugfix, and should be applied on 3.6, use "3.6 updatedatabase" system 15:45 jcamins I thought you were saying that 3.6 will require a different set of code for updatedatabase than will master. 15:45 paul_p if your code is an ENH, use 3.8 new system 15:45 jcamins paul_p: but then bugfixes won't go in 3.8? 15:45 paul_p jcamins, not at all. 15:45 chris_n paul_p: so if the 3.6.x updatedatabase.pl has a routine to switch over to the new update system, then things will go fine during multi-version updates 15:46 chris_n so why maintain two different tracks? 15:46 jcamins How do they get into 3.8, then, if the updatedatabase is for 3.6? 15:46 paul_p jcamins, not either = if you write in 3.8 release notes : "execute installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase 1st, then head to admin > update database", that will do the job ! 15:46 jcamins Ohhh. 15:46 jcamins I see. 15:47 * chris_n still sees no reason to maintain two different systems 15:47 * jcamins either, but at least now I understand what paul_p is saying. 15:47 jcamins I think. 15:47 paul_p chris_n, how would you do to have just 1 ? 15:47 chris_n and at present is not persuaded to support such a move 15:48 chris_n paul_p: port the new code back to 3.6.x 15:48 chris_n the two codebases are not that divergent atm 15:48 chris_n so there should be little problem doing so 15:48 chris_n or 15:48 paul_p chris_n, yikes ! would require a LOT of testings + change of behaviour in the middle of a stable version : i think i'm strongly against this idea to backport ! 15:48 chris_n make the move at the last moment prior to releasing 3.8.x 15:49 * chris_n sees a deadlock looming 15:49 paul_p chris_n, for users, that will be the case 15:49 chris_n it needs to be for devs too 15:49 paul_p for developers, that could be a little bit more tricky. But we're hackers, isn't it ? 15:49 * kf goes silent out of confusion 15:49 chris_n many fixes which require db updates will not make it into 3.6.x simply because folks do not take time to do the work twice 15:50 chris_n I already have this problem 15:50 chris_n introducing two db update methods will only make it twice as much a problem, imho 15:51 paul_p chris_n, NO = if a patch has to go into 3.6.x => it MUST be "old method". 15:51 chris_n right, which will result in people not taking time to do that 15:51 paul_p if a patch is an ENH, then it will be for 3.8 => it MUST be "new method" 15:51 chris_n and 3.6.x looses some needed fixes 15:51 paul_p chris_n, why ? they would have to do only 1 method 15:51 chris_n this happened with 3.2.x nearly as soon as the switch to TT took place 15:52 chris_n paul_p: what about bugfixes which require db updates? 15:52 chris_n those will be lost unless everyone takes time to do the double work 15:52 paul_p chris_n, why double work ? there would be just a "old method" updatedatabase 15:53 * paul_p feel there's some misunderstanding between us 15:53 kf and how do we solve the bug in 3.7? 15:53 * chris_n too 15:53 kf I thik we all got very confused 15:53 chris_n what kf said 15:53 kf not only me 15:53 chris_n is exactly the issue 15:53 chris_n the bug will be in 3.6.x && 3.7.x 15:53 chris_n thus, double work 15:54 chris_n devs will be fixing for 3.7.x 15:54 paul_p kf, what kind of "bug" ? if it's a bugfix, then it will be fixed with the old updatedatabase system 15:54 chris_n not 3.6.x 15:54 * chris_n is confused now 15:54 chris_n are we going to maintain two db update systems in 3.7? 15:54 paul_p yep. 15:54 kf paul_p: you assume noone installs master 15:54 kf which people do 15:54 paul_p kf, good point ! (very good point in fact...) 15:55 kf we have to keep them in sync 15:55 kf or we will get into all kind of trouble (imho) 15:55 paul_p kf, right 15:56 chris_n paul_p: I think if we don't back port the new method, we wait to drop it in immediately after the feature freeze of 3.7 15:56 kf I think chris_n is worried about having 2 methods 15:56 chris_n that will minimize confusion 15:56 chris_n and work 15:56 kf and you are worried to backport, because it might be dangerous utnil it's better tested 15:56 chris_n and <your-favorite-term> 15:56 kf so perhaps we can find another way 15:56 kf or not... but somethign that works for all situations that can appear 15:57 paul_p chris_n, nope, because how will you manage ENH inclusion in 3.8 ? old method ? 15:57 chris_n I really don't anticipate many issues with a new db update system that has been throughly tested prior to committing to master 15:57 chris_n paul_p: exactly 15:57 jcamins So what you're proposing is: All bugfixes are implemented using the existing numbered updatedatabase scheme, so that they can be put in 3.6. They are also added to 3.8 in the same way. All features are implemented using the new, hash-based updatedatabase scheme. Those cannot be backported to 3.8. 15:58 jcamins What about bugfixes for 3.10/3.8/3.6? 15:59 * chris_n urges all to remember that releases are only maintained as long as there are commits applicable to them 15:59 paul_p I can't argue why, but I feel there will be a problem with chris_n suggestion 15:59 chris_n so if we make it too hard, the release dies an early, and possibly untimely death 15:59 paul_p (tries to find why) 15:59 kf perhaps we should resume the discussion tomorrowß 15:59 kf so everyone has some time to think about it? 15:59 jcamins Very untimely, since lots of people don't use .0 releases. 15:59 paul_p kf++ 16:00 kf perhaps set a time 16:00 chris_n paul_p: is the new code so unstable that you fear problems with it in production? 16:00 * chris_n agrees this needs discussion by a larger audience of devs 16:00 paul_p chris_n, no, but it still must be tested ;-) 16:00 * jcamins thinks tomorrow isn't a good day for USians. 16:00 chris_n it is entirely possible that it is simply a communication issue ;-) 16:01 paul_p (and someone from bywater is a must-have, as bywater uses master !) 16:01 kf chris_n: what is tomorrow? 16:01 wahanui well, tomorrow is pizza friday! or the day after today. 16:01 chris_n kf: thanksgiving day 16:01 chris_n no wahanui 16:01 chris_n no pizza on thanksgiving 16:01 chris_n only turkey 16:01 chris_n :-) 16:01 jcamins chris_n: speak for yourself! 16:01 nengard what do you need a bywater person for? 16:01 nengard wasn't keeping up 16:01 paul_p turkey pizza maybe ? 16:01 jcamins Turkey pizza! 16:01 chris_n jcamins: turkey pizza? 16:01 jcamins :D 16:01 nengard eww 16:02 jcamins Apparently my jokes are predictable? 16:02 paul_p nengard, ;-) we were speaking of the proposal for new updatedatabase system, that cause a problem for ppl running master if we apply it as it's implemented for now ! 16:02 nengard oh! 16:02 chris_n paul_p: I'd like to see discussion from some others on this prior to formulating my own final opinion 16:02 nengard I have to admit I was following that proposal for a bit then it got confusing 16:03 chris_n I'm against it in practice, but not necessarily in principle at this point 16:03 jcamins nengard: it's still confusing, sorry. 16:03 paul_p workaround idea: have 2 "version" sysprefs, one for the old system, one for the new one 16:04 paul_p i've another idea = completly disconnect the new system from the previous numbering. That's how it was planned before. I'll ask jonathan about this idea 16:04 chris_n paul_p: do you have a working branch with this new db update code available for test? 16:05 paul_p chris_n, just submitting the patches on but 7161 16:05 jcamins paul_p: +1 16:05 paul_p bug 7167 16:05 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7167 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED , updatedatabase improvements 16:05 chris_n those apply over master? 16:05 paul_p jcamins, for which proposition ? 16:05 paul_p chris_n, yep 16:05 jcamins paul_p: second. 16:05 paul_p see comment 5 for test plan 16:05 * chris_n will try to take time to exercise the code and see if his understanding clears up 16:06 jcamins paul_p: that's what chris_n and I have been arguing for, more-or-less. 16:06 jcamins At least, I think chris_n and I agree. 16:06 jcamins ;) 16:07 chris_n at this point, I think the new db code should be throughly tested, debugged, and go live immediately 16:07 chris_n but I reserve the right to change my opinion... ;-) 16:08 kf heh 16:08 kf so have another meeting perhaps? 16:08 kf to discuss this? 16:08 kf after thanksgiving 16:08 jcamins I agree with that, provided it does not use the existing versioning syspref. If it uses the existing versioning syspref, that'll cause problems with the 3.6->3.8 conversion. 16:08 chris_n it would be good to have a called meeting for just this subject to include as many devs as possible 16:09 jcamins Agreed. 16:09 reiveune bye 16:10 chris_n paul_p: would you be willing to post an announcement to the dev list scheduling such a meeting? 16:12 slef has/could anyone design(ed) a leaflet soliciting donations to HLT for the legal defence of Koha? We've an opportunity to distribute some to librarians but no time to design them (and it's a bit tight to print them) 16:12 kf i haven't seen any leaflets yet :( 16:13 kf perhaps in nz? 16:13 jcamins paul_p: I withdraw my objection to using the versioning syspref with the new system. chris_n has explained to me how it could work. 16:14 * Oak waves 16:23 mib_87cyjt Edited or checked in items show as either still checked out or it zero-ises the items on the bib 16:23 mib_87cyjt has anyone seen this on 3.6? 16:23 kf since an update? 16:24 kf and have you been here before? :) 16:24 mib_87cyjt Yep 16:24 mib_87cyjt and 16:24 mib_87cyjt yep! 16:24 mib_87cyjt I ran the script and it resolved it for any items that had been changed 16:24 mib_87cyjt however, any items now checked in or bibs edited results in the same 16:24 jcamins mib_87cyjt: it sounds like rebuild_zebra isn't running. 16:24 kf very good questions from marcel on the list 16:25 jcamins How did you install Koha? 16:25 mib_87cyjt me? 16:25 kf mib_87cyjt: have you reindexed? 16:25 mib_87cyjt jcamins: 16:25 mib_87cyjt Yeah, full bib reindex - completed fine 16:25 mib_87cyjt it fixed the problem with bibs but it still causes problems with any newly edited bibs or items checked in 16:25 jcamins mib_87cyjt: yes, you. 16:26 mib_87cyjt Sorry, I don't understand - what do you mean, how did I install? 16:26 jcamins mib_87cyjt: you have Koha running on a server. You must have put it on the server somehow. 16:26 jcamins Did you use packages? 16:26 jcamins Install it by downloading the tarball? 16:26 jcamins Using git? 16:27 mib_87cyjt OK, I understand now. I downloaded the latest stable release and manuall installed it 16:27 jcamins Okay. 16:27 slef kf: I'll ask the nz chatters when they wake. 16:27 mib_87cyjt sorry - upgraded it 16:27 jcamins Ah-ha. What did you upgrade from? 3.0.something? 16:27 mib_87cyjt it was on 3.00x - to be honest I don't remember the exact version - maybe 2 years old 16:28 paul_p jcamins & kf & chris_n = idea suggested by joubu = preference("version") is unmodified until 3.8 official release. Thus, the 3.6 updatedatabase will continue to work fine. The new updatesystem can be completly disconnected from this syspref, so we will get the best of the 2 worlds ! 16:28 jcamins Yeah, the problem is that you were using zebraqueue daemon. You need to disable that, and set up the cron job using rebuild_zebra. 16:28 jcamins If you take a look in INSTALL.debian, you'll see how to do that. 16:28 mib_87cyjt I was/am using both 16:28 slef jcamins: any problem with the marc-in-items change? 16:29 mib_87cyjt zebraqueue updates authorities immediately 16:29 kf paul_p: taht makes sense, but we should check the different situations we can get into 16:29 slef items-in-marc even 16:29 jcamins You can't use both. You can only use one. 16:29 jcamins zebraqueue daemon is fundamentally broken. 16:29 mib_87cyjt Can't I use that in 3.6? 16:29 jcamins No. 16:29 jcamins slef: good call. 16:29 kf paul_p: because we need to tell the new system still which things should not be applied then because they were in older versions already 16:29 chris_n paul_p: i'd like to see a working example where the same patch works for both branches running two different systems before I really comment on that option 16:29 mib_87cyjt OK.
