Time Nick Message
23:59 jcamins Right.
23:59 rangi C4/ is a lost cause
23:59 jcamins rangi: oh, sorry, got distracted.
23:59 rangi and the .pl files of course
23:59 rangi mtj: i think for the Koha:: space thats a good idea
23:59 mtj we could run a pc::prog test on a stricter level...
23:59 rangi about jcamins ?
23:58 rangi not that i recall
23:58 mtj haay chris, have you spotted the perlcritic::progressive module?
23:58 jcamins Oh wise rangi, I seek your advice.
23:57 jcamins And it didn't help.
23:57 jcamins And I read it.
23:57 jcamins_away There's POD.
23:56 jcamins_away I can't imagine what that was for.
23:56 jcamins_away Horrible, horrible, horrible.
23:56 rangi arent you glad im not RM anymore :)
23:56 rangi without a test
23:56 rangi no module in Koha
23:56 rangi also, maybe make a rule
23:55 rangi no point introducing mess
23:55 jcamins_away fix_marc21_auth_type_location
23:55 rangi id like to run it stricter on Koha:: already
23:55 rangi overtime we can make it more strict, when we get all the nasty category 5 errors gone :)
23:54 rangi my $rcfile = File::Spec->catfile( 't', 'perlcriticrc' );
23:54 mtj bah, so it is :p
23:54 rangi which is what the 00-testcritc.t test uses
23:53 rangi look at t/perlcriticrc
23:53 rangi that should already be in there mtj
23:53 mtj .
23:53 mtj equivalent_modules = Modern::Perl
23:53 mtj [TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict]
23:53 mtj $ cat .perlcriticrc
23:52 mtj i tweaked a .perlcritic file, and its down from 671, too 551 violations :)
23:51 mtj perlcritic (with a default config) gives some false violations for ./koha.git dir
23:51 jcamins_away (hint: it looks outrageous)
23:51 jcamins_away I actually already moved all the required functionality to Koha::, but since it was one function call, I wondered what it'd look like if I shimmed in GetAuthority.
23:50 rangi the rest is all gravy
23:50 rangi stop the dependency chains
23:50 rangi actually its the only thing I care about for Koha::
23:50 rangi which if it has no other goal, breaking that chain should be the only one
23:49 rangi hence, Koha::
23:49 jcamins_away And nothing else.
23:49 rangi yep, too many uses
23:49 mtj hay, i just discovered something nice about perlcritic too....
23:49 jcamins_away Which used C4::AuthoritiesMarc.
23:49 jcamins_away On one file.
23:49 jcamins_away That was from *one test*.
23:49 jcamins_away Oh, I know.
23:48 rangi the trend is in the right direction
23:48 rangi the good news is it was 38% sub coverage and is now 53.1
23:48 rangi http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_master/HTML_Report/?
23:47 rangi jcamins_away: its all in jenkins and has been for years
23:45 jcamins_away Hm. No I'm not.
23:45 jcamins_away Wait, actually, I'm using Devel::Cover wrong.
23:44 jcamins_away Actually, that's all from AuthoritiesMarc.
23:43 jcamins_away That from "use C4::Heading" and "use C4::AuthoritesMarc"
23:43 Judit good morning
23:43 jcamins_away http://paste.koha-community.org/40
23:43 jcamins_away rangi: want to see graphically just how bad C4 is?
22:39 * jcamins goes to eat dinner.
22:37 rangi i think it should work fine
22:36 rangi in practice back up :)
22:36 tcohen Engine=MyISAM for... ok
22:36 rangi in theory yes
22:36 tcohen is it ok if I replace in the dump?
22:36 rangi no foreign keys with that
22:36 rangi yeah you want to fix them, you dont want MyISAM
22:36 rangi ahhhh
22:35 tcohen got this weird problems when s/MyISAM/InnoDB/ I guess
22:35 jcamins eythian just dealt with an upgrade like that.
22:35 tcohen ...
22:35 tcohen for upgrading... with all tables using MyISAM
22:35 tcohen but when I received this old 3.1.X DB
22:34 tcohen yes, i've been using them for testing purposes
22:34 rangi (you can have multiple koha running easily with the packages)
22:33 rangi and runs the ugprade as that user using that instances conf
22:33 rangi the nice thing with it is, it su to the user
22:33 tcohen no its not
22:33 rangi unless the user in your koha-conf.xml is root
22:33 tcohen oh
22:33 rangi not root
22:33 tcohen :-D
22:33 rangi hmm that will run as the user
22:32 tcohen at least I'm the only one with this problem
22:32 tcohen koha-upgrade-schema
22:32 rangi no idea
22:32 tcohen root in both cases
22:32 rangi same user in both cases?
22:31 tcohen 4.6GB free
22:31 tcohen 37% usage
22:31 tcohen running that query from updatedatabase.pl raised the error
22:31 rangi tcohen: disk space?
22:30 tcohen that's weird
22:30 tcohen Records: 847 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
22:30 tcohen Query OK, 847 rows affected (0.26 sec)
22:30 tcohen ALTER TABLE issues DROP FOREIGN KEY `issues_ibfk_2`;
22:30 cait only edit
22:30 cait hm but think you can't batch delete
22:30 libsysguy ok cool
22:29 rangi its in master now, so should be in 3.10.0
22:29 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5742 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Pushed to Master , batch edit patrons
22:29 rangi martian523: you could look at bug 5742
22:29 libsysguy is there a bug no for that batch mod rangi?
22:29 tcohen you might first anonumize patrons
22:29 martian523 thanks for the help though
22:28 rangi for some anyway
22:28 libsysguy ahhh
22:28 rangi libsysguy: no, there are cascade on deletes
22:28 rangi there is code for batch modifications and deletes of patrons in testing at the moment
22:28 libsysguy rangi I thought there were fk restraints for that?
22:27 martian523 sigh!
22:27 rangi yes, you can do it in the db, but that wont check if they have items on issue or hold etc
22:27 martian523 so i have to delete one by one?
22:27 rangi yep :)
22:26 libsysguy haha every time i see this i lol hard
22:26 rangi martian523: not in 3.8 no
22:26 rangi libsysguy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ&feature=plcp
22:26 martian523 is there a way to batch delete patrons on koha 3.8?
22:25 martian523 hi, back again
22:20 tcohen is it a bug or is it a faulty configuration in mysql server?
22:20 tcohen updatedatabase.pl line 4425
22:20 rangi ahh it makes a temp table while it does the alter table
22:19 rangi tcohen: i hope you can make it :) i will buy you dinner
22:19 tcohen DBD::mysql::db do failed: Error on rename of './koha_ues/issues' to './koha_ues/#sql2-325-2d' (errno: 152)
22:19 tcohen gives me
22:19 tcohen ALTER TABLE issues DROP FOREIGN KEY `issues_ibfk_2
22:18 jcamins Perfect.
22:18 jcamins There we go.
22:17 rangi well it will still be there, you can stash it if you want
22:17 tcohen backing up the file first?
22:17 jcamins Thanks.
22:16 rangi git reset file git commit --amend
22:16 tcohen i'm planning a fund raise so I can fly to nevada!
22:16 jcamins How do I remove a file from a commit?
22:15 tcohen hahaha
22:15 rangi bad luck on not winning the bid .. now next year im gonna have to agonise over nigeria or argentina again! :)
22:15 tcohen how r u doing'
22:15 jcamins Okay, that's enough testing for one module. :)
22:15 tcohen hi rangi
22:14 rangi heya tcohen
22:14 rangi heh
22:14 libsysguy every time I squash a bug I want my computer to play 'fatality'
22:14 libsysguy its been awhile since I shared
22:14 libsysguy rangi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpS7nCweYZI
22:12 * jcamins tries grep
22:12 jcamins How do I get a count of items in a list that match a particular regex?
22:05 jcamins Need to figure out what it's not testing in Record::Processor.
22:05 pastebot "jcamins" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "ok 1 - use Koha::RecordProcess" (38 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/39
22:02 jcamins Thanks.
22:02 jcamins Ah, cool.
22:02 cait why do I only find such things when doing presentatoins?
22:01 cait did anyone know that when you hit enter while you are in the vendor number field in subscriptions you get a perl error?
22:01 rangi https://metacpan.org/module/Devel::Cover
22:01 rangi just want coverage
22:01 rangi if you dont want to run the tests at the same time
22:01 rangi jcamins: you can just use cover
22:01 cait oh
22:01 cait testing all the tings sounds brilliant
21:58 jcamins Doesn't seem to be available anywhere.
21:58 jcamins cait: testing all the things!!!!
21:57 rangi im 99% sure i didnt cpan it on
21:57 cait jcamins: what are you doing?
21:56 jcamins Or not.
21:55 rangi yep
21:55 jcamins Oh, libdevel-cover-perl
21:55 jcamins A tricky one... not in Debian?
21:54 rangi prove_cover mytest
21:54 rangi http://search.cpan.org/~natanael/Devel-CoverReport-0.03/bin/prove_cover
21:53 rangi prove_cover
21:52 jcamins rangi: how do I get a coverage thingy to confirm that I didn't miss anything?
21:52 jcamins Successfully tested the entire file.
21:52 jcamins Woohoo!
21:50 jcamins If it goes out of scope, it'll save any errors in $somethingorother.
21:50 cait oh no, no self destruction please!
21:50 jcamins I can use eval {}
21:50 jcamins Oh, I know.
21:49 jcamins Hm.
21:49 rangi ?
21:49 rangi can you go $self->DESTROY
21:48 rangi which changes destroy to EXTERMINATE_EXTERMINATE
21:48 jcamins lol
21:48 jcamins :)
21:48 rangi Acme::Dalek
21:48 jcamins TEST ALL THE THINGS!!!!
21:48 jcamins What I want to do is call it in a unit test.
21:48 rangi i want to write
21:48 jcamins rangi: I have the DESTROY sub.
21:47 rangi http://perldoc.perl.org/perlobj.html#Destructors
21:47 rangi you make a DESTROY sub
21:47 rangi yep
21:42 * cait is happy now
21:42 cait but I have stable internet - finally
21:42 cait I have no idea what you are talking about
21:42 jcamins Can you force garbage collection in Perl?
21:41 jcamins Do I?
21:41 jcamins Wait...
21:41 jcamins Wait a minute! I don't need the DB at all to test this all the way!
21:38 cait use an empty list
21:38 cait that's what modern perl says too
21:35 jcamins Yeah, that worked.
21:33 rangi at least thats what my not caffeinated enough brain is saying
21:33 rangi my @array=() or [] if its a ref
21:32 rangi ()
21:32 jcamins How do you initialize an empty array?
21:31 cait hi rangi
21:30 rangi hey cait
21:29 ibeardslee oh good stuff
21:27 jcamins jorgia++
21:27 jcamins bart++
21:26 rangi one uni, one high school now
21:26 rangi bart and jorgia
21:25 ibeardslee shush you
21:23 wahanui which ones are those?
21:23 ibeardslee rangi: which ones?
21:23 jcamins Ah, got it.
21:22 jcamins Excuse me... I want to confirm that all the items in one are in the other.
21:21 jcamins Okay, I now have two arrays and want to confirm that they have the same contents.
21:21 jcamins See instead.
21:21 rangi or see also?
21:21 rangi see instead?
21:21 rangi nice!
21:20 jcamins :D
21:20 jcamins I did a search on "Holiday cookery" and got the results for "Holiday cooking"!
21:20 jcamins This is so cool!
21:19 jcamins anitsirk++
21:18 jcamins ibeardslee++
21:18 rangi heh
21:18 wahanui ibeardslee and anitsirk for running the academy too has neutral karma
21:18 rangi well karma for ibeardslee and anitsirk for running the academy too
21:17 jcamins (very cool... karma-deserving cool, in fact)
21:17 rangi 2 of the catalyst academy kids want to continue working
21:17 rangi yay for high school kids who want to write tests!
21:17 jcamins Who gets the karma?
21:17 rangi other projects that are available."
21:17 rangi testing for Koha with Chris if that can be arranged and also work in any
21:17 rangi "I am keen to do unit
21:17 jcamins :D
21:17 rangi how cool is this
21:16 jcamins It worked!
21:16 rangi he'll be here in an hour or 2
21:16 rangi yeah its only 7am in brisbane
21:15 jcamins So... how do I remove the .pm$?
21:15 jcamins I combined the grep and the map.
21:14 libsysguy jcamins wth is that man
21:13 jcamins Also, I need to remove the ".pm" from that string.
21:13 jcamins Alas, I'm too early for papa, I think.
21:13 jcamins Any suggestions?
21:13 jcamins I would like to do that in a non-horrifying ways.
21:13 jcamins my @installed_filters = map { "Koha::Filters::MARC::$_" } grep { /\.pm$/ && -f "$filterdir/$_" } readdir($dh);
21:09 rangi jcamins++
21:07 jcamins Writing tests.
21:07 jcamins Nope.
21:05 wizzyrea oh i thought you were gone >.>
21:05 jcamins o.O
21:04 huginn wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.
21:04 wizzyrea @later tell jcamins http://laughingsquid.com/wp-content/uploads/nyc-storm-2012.jpg holy moly, this was your storm from today
20:49 sekjal night, #koha!
20:43 drojf you should mix your weathers a little, then you'll get what we have here ;)

20:41 rangi @wunder nzwn
20:37 jcamins It also didn't warn that there's a flood advisory.
20:37 wizzyrea heh, 40.4, now that is hot.
20:36 jcamins No.
20:36 jcamins Is it really still that hot?
20:36 huginn drojf: The current temperature in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, Germany is 18.9°C (10:12 PM CEST on July 18, 2012). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 83%. Dew Point: 16.0°C. Pressure: 29.74 in 1007 hPa (Falling).

20:36 wizzyrea @wunder lawrence ks
20:29 oleonard See ya later everybody
20:27 rangi heh
20:26 oleonard Aaaaand, it's gone.
20:26 oleonard Hey me, remember when you saw that umbrella in the hall and told yourself you ought to toss that into your car?
20:24 oleonard Quite novel actually
20:24 wizzyrea you have wet stuff falling from the sky? what's that like
20:24 * wizzyrea is jealous
20:23 jcamins oleonard: I was wondering that too, actually.
20:23 * oleonard wonders if it will stop raining buckets in the next 10 minutes or if he should make a run for it
20:23 drojf yes, but i have not tried it yet
20:22 wizzyrea you saw this no doubt?
20:22 wizzyrea drojf: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/makezineonline/~3/DWzQVAHdZyk/
20:22 drojf ok that looks cool. so basically a panel, controller and battery and that's it. i won't get bored once the wifi access point is stable on the pi ;)
20:16 jcamins We didn't care so much because it was just the radio and starter.
20:16 wizzyrea they are like, 2 bucks here, cheaper now since they are on sale because of midsummer
20:16 rangi back
20:15 jcamins drojf: the problem will be maintaining the current when switching between solar and battery.
20:15 wizzyrea but you *can* scavenge the panels from those little lights :)
20:15 drojf jcamins: excellent. thanks
20:13 oleonard I get it
20:13 wizzyrea but technically you are right
20:13 wizzyrea yes and no - we wouldn't have had the huge tanks except that we had a solar system
20:12 oleonard Isn't the never-running-out a factor of the size of the water tank rather than the solar aspect wizzyrea ?
20:12 jcamins drojf: http://www.trevorshp.com/creations/solarcharger.htm
20:12 drojf wow, the internet knows everything. thanks jcamins
20:12 wizzyrea under the solar panels
20:11 wizzyrea plus it was a great place to play under in the summer :P
20:11 wizzyrea we NEVER ran out of hot water. Ever.
20:11 wizzyrea my parents had a solar water heater when i was a kid
20:11 wizzyrea ohhh
20:11 jcamins Though we had a simpler one.
20:10 drojf wizzyrea: the ebay link i sent a minute ago or so
20:10 jcamins drojf: http://www.solorb.com/elect/solarcirc/scc3/
20:10 wizzyrea oh I am glad you are having a love affair with it
20:10 jcamins oleonard: wizzyrea: laugh if you will, but you're going to feel differently when "did you mean?" can be extended without doing any real work at all.
20:10 wizzyrea drojf which picture?
20:09 wizzyrea where them = jcamins and Mod::Pluggable
20:09 * wizzyrea smells the perl-omones that Module::Pluggable is giving off, decides it's probably best to leave them alone
20:09 drojf jcamins: "fun"? i have npo idea how to do that, but that thing in the picture looks like more than i can do myself
20:09 jcamins I meant building your own controller is fun.
20:08 jcamins lol
20:08 drojf lol
20:08 * oleonard suggests that after a few dates jcamins ask Module::Pluggable to go steady
20:08 jcamins Or you could build your own. Is fun!
20:07 jcamins So incredibly awesome. Module::Pluggable is a wonderful thing.
20:07 drojf the battery problem lead me to the controller thing. like this maybe http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-3A-solar-controller-regulator-solar-panel-charge-output-12v-8-4v-5v-3-3v-/390351673009?pt=UK_Gadgets&hash=item5ae2c5d6b1
20:07 drojf heh i think that would be too much already
20:06 jcamins Not cubed, squared.
20:06 jcamins I mean, I thought drojf meant 1m^2
20:06 wizzyrea ;)
20:06 wizzyrea hehe no i meant 5cm^2
20:05 wizzyrea so battery only charges when it's light out
20:05 wizzyrea and they have a photodetector that turns off the light during the day
20:05 wizzyrea right, those lights basically work on the principle that the battery runs the light, and the solar cell charges the battery
20:05 * jcamins was picturing 1m^3 solar panels when you said "small"
20:05 jcamins wizzyrea: not very. You need to filter it and you need some sort of battery for when the sun isn't up.
20:04 wizzyrea or use the panels in several lamps
20:04 wizzyrea dk how stable the current is tho
20:04 wizzyrea if you can run a raspberry pi off of AAA batteries, I think you could use those lamps to charge them
20:03 wizzyrea (that makes me think of)
20:03 wizzyrea ;)
20:03 wizzyrea you made me do a tmmto
20:02 drojf that looks cool, thanks wizzyrea
20:02 wizzyrea ^^ that link was for you drojf
20:02 wizzyrea keke
20:02 rangi Swype is balls
20:02 rangi Bbiab
20:02 rangi Doh
20:02 wizzyrea http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/strip-recycle-garden-solar-lamps-tech-projects/
20:02 rangi Brian
20:02 drojf i'm not really sure what my question is about it. a genral "how does it work/ what do i need" i guess. i looked at ebay a little, you can either get just a panel and some cables, or you can get a whole charge controller thingy
20:01 rangi Coffee time
20:00 wizzyrea oh drojf, I saw a thing the other day on how to repurpose those cheap solar cells… let me see if I can find it
20:00 * wizzyrea has those solar lights by her sidewalk, if that counts
20:00 drojf small enough to power a raspberry pi?
19:59 jcamins And, how small?
19:59 jcamins drojf: a little, why?
19:59 rangi Not me
19:59 drojf to brighten up the discussion a little, has anyone of you experience with small solar panels?
19:59 rangi I will also answer questions only from ppl who beat me in a hand of blackjack
19:58 wizzyrea especially when things get weird.
19:57 jcamins Popcorn is a vital part of any work day.
19:57 jcamins Hey, now.
19:57 SJeffery ^^ That is working?
19:56 jcamins Ohhh.
19:56 * wizzyrea marvels at the way the human mind works
19:56 rangi But maybe by next year his new library will be on koha
19:55 rangi Which jogged my brain
19:55 rangi Apart from he organised kohacon09
19:55 rangi Schuster and abstract totally unrelated
19:55 * wizzyrea nods
19:55 drojf yeah popcorn, let's sit quietly in the corner and eat and let the grown ups talk
19:54 wizzyrea it's gonna be like watching Donnie Darko.
19:54 * wizzyrea gets the popcorn
19:54 * wizzyrea either
19:54 * drojf does not understand a word
19:54 jcamins Huh?
19:54 rangi Hmm
19:54 rangi Oh hmm I hadn't factored in Schuster
19:54 jcamins It will make your life better.
19:53 jcamins Do it!
19:53 jcamins Yes!
19:53 rangi I want to use it for Koha::Auth
19:53 jcamins So, what are you and Schuster presenting on?
19:53 jcamins Ah.
19:53 rangi It is
19:53 wahanui Kohacon13 is http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Kohacon2013#Proposals_for_hosting
19:53 rangi Kohacon13
19:53 jcamins Module::Pluggable is *awesome*.
19:52 jcamins Wow.
19:52 * jcamins is confused, and wanted to make sure everyone else was, too.
19:52 jcamins Huh?
19:52 jcamins Abstract?
19:52 oleonard Presenting?
19:51 jcamins What are you and schuster presenting on?
19:51 rangi The shower strikes again
19:50 rangi I already have my abstract written in my head
19:48 rangi Oh man I missed Schuster
19:47 rangi Yeah. Now. We should fix it
19:47 rangi It's not halal
19:46 oleonard Wow, I just noticed admin/smart-rules.pl is chock full of SQL. Is that kosher?
19:43 wahanui i guess morning is a state of mind. or whenever the cat wants breakfast.
19:43 jcamins Morning.
19:41 wizzyrea morning rangi
19:41 wizzyrea never mind I was thinking of user accessible ones
19:41 rangi Morning
19:41 wizzyrea oh
19:40 wizzyrea besides "on" or "off"
19:40 wizzyrea what other state is there, jcamins?
19:39 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4354 minor, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, REOPENED , Cannot edit existing issuing rules
19:39 * oleonard grumbles that he had a nice working JS-based solution for Bug 4354, but that was before hour loans and hard due dates
19:36 jcamins Fair enough.
19:36 jcamins lol
19:36 oleonard Of course I'm best at nick-picking others' designs, so I'll wait until you release yours and then mess with it ;)
19:35 jcamins I knew you would have a solution. :)
19:34 jcamins oleonard: ah, good call. I like the checkbox idea.
19:34 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7804 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, In Discussion , Add Koha Plugin System
19:34 jcamins Also, to clarify, when I say "plugin" I don't mean user-accessible plugins a la bug 7804.
19:34 oleonard jcamins: I could see you emulating the jqueryui example you posted, with checkboxes in each of the sortable divs, or a layout where you move each sortable item from the "disabled" box to the "enabled" box
19:33 jcamins wizzyrea: I think plugins are just enabled or disabled with Wordpress, aren't they?
19:32 wizzyrea jcamins have you looked much at how wordpress does plugins?
19:27 jcamins They need to be put in the proper order (where "proper" = the order the library wants), but they also have to be enabled or disabled.
19:26 jcamins etc.
19:26 jcamins Suggestion plugins, for example: spelling, from authorities, from VIAF, from...
19:25 jcamins I mean, the configuration page in question would be for enabling plugins.
19:25 oleonard I've got no problem with adding that
19:25 jcamins oleonard: this is good for putting things in order, but I'm not sure you'd approve of it for enabling lots of plugins: http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/#sortable
19:22 jcamins oleonard: if you wanted to make a configuration page that involved checking lots of buttons and putting things in order, what would you use to create that page?
19:22 * wizzyrea recalls nengard going on about cookery a while back
19:15 * Oak waves goodbye
19:14 schuster From where? the pl or?
19:14 jcamins schuster: it's passed in.
19:14 schuster So when looking at the OPAC and XSLTBloc how does the .tt know to display the Detail or the Results XSLT format?
18:59 jcamins A slightly perplexing heading: "St. Louis, Betty Wedman-".
18:58 jcamins I meant "anyone who wasn't a cataloger."
18:58 jcamins lol
18:57 oleonard jcamins: It's the canonical example of bad subject headings. So yes, everyone, often.
18:55 jcamins I forgot to remove a warn.
18:55 jcamins Oh, drat.
18:55 jcamins Has anyone ever used that term?
18:54 jcamins Have I commented recently on the silliness of using "Cookery" as a subject heading... ever?
18:50 sekjal creating a tablet-based headcount tool a la NCSU's Suma (but based off our CMS and Piwik)
18:50 jcamins Woohoo!
18:49 sekjal but I have taken my first crash course in JQuery Mobile!
18:49 sekjal problem is, we're in a consortium, so we have 4 other colleges to convince
18:48 sekjal jcamins: not yet
18:48 jcamins sekjal: have you gotten UMass to switch to Koha yet? ;)
18:46 sekjal bye, tcohen!
18:46 tcohen bye #koha
18:46 tcohen now gotta leave!
18:46 tcohen well, i'll start tomorrow, when I get some feedback
18:43 jcamins Yes, and that wins you karma. :)
18:43 tcohen oh, i'll do it, just need to clarify on the ubuntu version support thing
18:42 jcamins tcohen: your volunteering to fix up the Ubuntu installation docs.
18:41 tcohen hehe
18:41 wahanui jcamins is A-Grade developper on Koha willing to rewrite it from top to bottom. Good Luck jcamins
18:41 tcohen jcamins?
18:39 jcamins tcohen++
18:39 sekjal hi tcohen, jcamins
18:39 jcamins Hi sekjal.
18:39 tcohen hi sekjal
18:38 sekjal hi, #koha
18:34 jwagner That still strikes me as some kind of an indexing problem and I'm not sure it's related to the holds problem. I have to leave in a few minutes, though. Probably other people have some ideas...
18:21 oleonard still no luck with holds CharlottevL ?
18:21 CharlottevL :(
18:16 cait1 hi jcamins :)
18:15 * jcamins waves to cait1.
18:14 jcamins Possibly going in the wrong direction, there.
18:14 jcamins I have changed the record export process efficiency from O(n) to O(4n)!
18:13 jcamins Woohoo!
18:11 jcamins ^^
18:11 wahanui Install.debian is at git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=INSTALL.debian
18:11 jcamins Install.debian?
18:08 CharlottevL zebra update cron job - running...
18:07 jwagner somebody who knows, what's the link to the indexing setup instructions?
18:07 tweetbot` [off] Twitter: @kohails: "#kohails Adding an Adult Patron in Koha 3.8 http://t.co/vPRDzyPQ"
18:07 jwagner are you running the zebra update cron job?
18:05 CharlottevL (i don't understand, what do you mean with "index" )
18:04 tweetbot` [off] Twitter: @ByWaterSolution: "Adding an Adult Patron in Koha 3.8 http://t.co/J4A4blZf #kohails"
18:03 CharlottevL yes, on staff search results.. :(
18:03 jwagner on staff search results? possibly the index hasn't caught up?
18:02 CharlottevL jwagner - no change :( (i'm really newbie in koha... but if it would be only circ-rule problem, why I have "no items" in column "location" ?)
18:01 tcohen as it pulls i386 dependencies
18:00 tcohen i have an issue in a amd64 PVM (Ubuntu 12.04) using dselect --set-selections
18:00 wahanui autocomplete is probably biting me
18:00 cait autocomplete
18:00 cait hi jwagner
18:00 cait hi jcamins
18:00 jwagner hi cait
17:59 * cait waves
17:59 tcohen =~ swap
17:59 tcohen who's maintaining the packages.ubuntu file?
17:58 jwagner Set up a rule covering that combination, and allowing holds, then try it again.
17:58 CharlottevL i let there default rules, nothing changed yet...
17:58 tcohen right
17:57 jcamins tcohen: I generally just run it manually.
17:57 jcamins tcohen: they do somewhere, but I always have a lot of trouble figuring out where.
17:57 tcohen is that fixable?
17:57 jwagner Do you have a rule covering that specific combination of patron category and item type, or a default rule that would apply
17:57 tcohen jcamins, tests that aren't ok don tell anything about the error
17:56 jwagner Above that on the page -- the table with headings for Patron category, Item type, etc.
17:55 CharlottevL holds policy - everything allowed
17:54 jwagner Home › Administration › Circulation and fine rules
17:53 jwagner No, in your circ rules
17:52 CharlottevL do you mean this?
17:52 CharlottevL OPACItemHolds -allowed
17:51 jwagner and does the applicable circ rule have a count in the Holds Allowed column?
17:50 jcamins Do you have a rule for DEFAULT-DEFAULT-DEFAULT?
17:50 CharlottevL no, everything is circ-items...
17:49 jwagner That sounds like a circ rule problem, but do you have other items on the title, and are any of them non-circulating items (like reference)?
17:45 CharlottevL "little czech primer", thats wonderfull site)
17:45 CharlottevL it works only if i click on the record, if i click in the search-result list, there is error !One or more selected items cannot be placed on hold"
17:41 jwagner Can you place a hold on that item for that user in staff mode?
17:41 CharlottevL maybe an other hitn. If I search in catalog in staff client, there is in column "location" - no item (but if i click on the record, there is an item with bar code )
17:41 CharlottevL it works without problem.
17:40 jwagner What happens if you try to check out that item to that user?
17:40 jwagner identify the patron category and the item type in question. THen look for a circ rule covering that combination. If there isn't one, check the default rules
17:39 oleonard You need at least one rule for all patrons/all item types
17:39 jcamins I will let someone else tell you exactly what circ rules are needed, because I have forgotten.
17:38 jwagner If you're not allowed to borrow it, you can't place a hold either
17:38 CharlottevL yes, i have...
17:38 jwagner CharlottevL, do you have a circ rule allowing your login to borrow that item?
17:38 jcamins CharlottevL: you need to add circulation rules.
17:38 tcohen jcamins: found it, thanks
17:38 CharlottevL so my problem for today.. :( when I search something in opac, there is "availability: copies avalable for loan..:", but if I click on recort to place hold, there is error "no avalable items" :( maybe something with zebra, but don't know, what...
17:37 jcamins tcohen: view the latest job, and then click "Test results."
17:37 CharlottevL in czech republic, you can't live without this word ...
17:37 tcohen where do I search for the problems?
17:37 tcohen jcamins: if an email says master is unstable on jenkins
17:36 drojf pozor is one of my favourite words :)
17:36 CharlottevL yes, that's very useful :D
17:36 drojf pozor vlak
17:36 CharlottevL that's beautiful... :) i didn't know this page...
17:36 jcamins tcohen: what do you mean?
17:36 * tcohen needs to know how to detect problems in jenkins interface
17:34 * oleonard build http://www.czechprimer.org
17:34 * oleonard doesn't know much, but wishes he knew more
17:34 CharlottevL nice to hear czech language...
17:33 CharlottevL ahoj :)
17:33 oleonard I mean ahoj
17:33 CharlottevL hello.. It's awkward, but i need again your help... :(
17:33 oleonard Hi CharlottevL
17:21 martian523 do you know anything about eiNetwork?
17:21 martian523 well, yeah, but it's more convenient to just use one db and get all
17:18 SJeffery Martian523: You can still get almost all the records you will need from libraries with open Z39.50 servers.
17:18 SJeffery jcamins: Their cost was not low enough for us to justify switching (keeping in mind that their dataquality is a notch lower).
17:18 oleonard Funny how that works.
17:17 jcamins Though they don't pay for records you upload, I don't think.
17:16 martian523 no luck for me then, since i don't think our library have the budget for this
17:16 * jcamins has to talk to Skyriver at some point. They're supposed to be more affordable.
17:15 SJeffery Just wait until you see the prices they charge.
17:15 jcamins martian523: worldcat.org is a faint shadow of WorldCat.
17:15 martian523 that's so funny
17:15 martian523 but using the worldcat web is free
17:14 SJeffery ^ Yes, you have to pay for them.
17:14 SJeffery martian523: Yes, as long as you have the necessary login from OCLC.
17:14 oleonard martian523: I think WorldCat wants you to pay for those records
17:13 martian523 hi, i'm wondering if there's a way to connect to worldcat as one of the Z39.5 targets?
16:58 mbalmer ola
16:58 jcamins Though that was my first thought as well.
16:58 jcamins But not pushing enhancements probably is not.
16:57 jcamins Ah, that I don't know.
16:57 oleonard I still wonder about the best way to encourage people to work on bugfixes instead of submitting more features
16:57 jcamins :P
16:57 jcamins Well, next time I'll try harder to make it more confusing.
16:57 jcamins Hm.
16:56 oleonard I think I get it
16:56 jcamins oleonard: have I successfully made you more confused?
16:44 jcamins :)
16:44 jcamins Gotta love paul_p's encouraging comment about my RM candidacy.
16:36 bag [off] not seeing that ticket ;)
16:36 mib_2pnt4n thank you for your help
16:36 mib_2pnt4n ok cool
16:35 jcamins Probably not, no.
16:35 mib_2pnt4n i just wanted to see if there was a quick fix that I was missing
16:35 bag :)
16:35 jcamins [off] It used to be http://ticket.bywatersolutions.com/ but it might not be anymore.
16:35 mib_2pnt4n i submitted a ticket
16:35 mib_2pnt4n yeah
16:35 oleonard That's what you're paying them for ;)
16:35 jcamins They have a ticketing system.
16:35 jcamins Yup.
16:35 mib_2pnt4n ok
16:35 oleonard Sounds like a question for their support staff mib_2pnt4n
16:35 jcamins Oh, in that case you'll need to have ByWater fix up your crontab.
16:34 mib_2pnt4n so i didn't isntall it
16:34 mib_2pnt4n actually we are working Bywater Solutions
16:34 jcamins If you installed it using the packages, you probably just need to wait a few minutes.
16:34 jcamins If you installed it from the tarball, you'll need to make sure rebuild_zebra is being run in your crontab.
16:34 jcamins You need to have your Zebra reindexer running.
16:34 mtompset indexing! :)
16:34 mib_2pnt4n it also says "No physical items for this record"
16:33 mib_2pnt4n but the book is not showing up in the catalog
16:33 mib_2pnt4n all went great
16:33 mib_2pnt4n and imported it into koha
16:33 mib_2pnt4n downloaded the marc record
16:33 mtompset Thank you for running a current version. :)
16:33 mib_2pnt4n i have cataloged a book in OCLC connexion
16:33 jcamins ;)
16:33 jcamins Some.
16:33 * jcamins knows about 3.8. :)
16:33 jcamins Yay!
16:32 mib_2pnt4n i am running 3.8
16:32 jcamins mtompset: exactly, so if they want me to fix it, they have to upgrade.
16:32 wahanui mtompset: that doesn't look right
16:32 mtompset change the user? ;)
16:32 mib_2pnt4n i could use a quick pointer on a user problem
16:32 jcamins Hello.
16:32 mib_2pnt4n good day everyone
16:32 mtompset It's still EOL.
16:32 mtompset But that's because you didn't fix it in 3.2
16:31 jcamins Even if I fix it in master immediately.
16:31 jcamins Well, I'd say that, because they're never going to get the fix in 3.2.
16:30 mtompset A "kill" would see the same bug in master as 3.2, and still say, "You should upgrade."
16:30 mtompset That's more of an "orphan" than a kill.
16:29 jcamins But I don't remember how 3.2 worked, so if they aren't seeing the same things I am, all I can say is "sorry, you'd have more luck getting support if you used a supported version."
16:29 jcamins I will help people using 3.2 if their questions are about things that are the same between 3.2 and a recent version.
16:28 oleonard Sounds like "I won't support you unless you upgrade" to me
16:28 jcamins I'm not sure I see a distinction.
16:28 jcamins Hmmm...
16:28 mtompset That's a "The solution is upgrading"
16:28 mtompset That's not quite a "I won't support you" problem.
16:27 jcamins The vast majority of support questions are "why doesn't X work?" and the answer is often "X works in 3.6.x and 3.8.x, so you need to upgrade if you want it to work for you, too."
16:27 jcamins Sort of.
16:26 mtompset Have you?
16:26 mtompset Yes, but you haven't been telling them, "If you don't upgrade now, I won't support you any more."
16:25 oleonard jcamins: Then reply and vote for "killed" :)
16:25 jcamins mtompset: we've been telling people to upgrade from 3.4 for a while.
16:24 mtompset However, I think the terms "Orphaned" and "Killed" are better suited from the user perspective.
16:24 mtompset Paul pointed out that EOL is EOL regardless of what we call it, and from a Developer perspective that is very true.
16:23 mtompset You said you wanted a discussion before voting. :P
16:23 oleonard mtompset: Did you vote? :P
16:22 jcamins I know.
16:22 paul_p jcamins eythian just left
16:22 mtompset Hope I and paul haven't hijacked the EOL 3.4 thread you created, oleonard. :)
16:21 jcamins eythian would know.
16:20 mtompset Thanks for the extra test case... I'll try it later today... after I wake up. :)
16:20 jcamins SSL certificates also include username.
16:20 mtompset I believe it is set when the browser is instructed to prompt for a username/password by an .htaccess file.
16:19 jcamins But I have a suspicion that REMOTE_USER might be set by Apache if you configure it to use SSL certificates.
16:19 mtompset That's what a development install is for. ;)
16:19 jcamins Well, you have to configure SSL.
16:18 mtompset I only did the http version.
16:18 mtompset hmm.... I didn't try https://192.168.69.37:8080/
16:18 jcamins Is REMOTE_USER set with SSL?
16:18 SJeffery mtompset: Wouldn't .htaccess be used for IP athentication setups?
16:17 mtompset in checkauth.
16:17 mtompset That whole first IF part makes NO sense otherwise.
16:16 mtompset for authentication, that is.
16:15 mtompset because that's the only case I can figure that REMOTE_USER gets defined.
16:15 mtompset have you seen ANY Koha implementation that actually used .htaccess?
16:14 oleonard I sure don't mind someone calling part of Koha ugly when it is prefaced by saying they're working on fixing it :)
16:14 mtompset imagine there is a silent capital F on ugly. :)
16:13 jcamins mtompset: you put that so diplomatically.
16:13 mtompset It needs to be prettier.
16:13 mtompset Auth is ugly.
16:13 mtompset And frankly...
16:13 mtompset because I've been asked to get SAML 2.0 working for Koha.
16:12 jcamins mtompset++
16:12 jcamins Whoah!
16:12 mtompset so that I can eventually clean up Auth. :)
16:12 mtompset playing with Perl OO.
16:12 jcamins What are you working on?
16:12 jcamins mtompset: class and subclass objects?
16:11 mtompset I just wanted to cheer about getting my first class and subclass objects working. :)
16:11 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
16:10 wizzyrea or it was lumped in with other changes that would have required basically live testing
16:09 wizzyrea it got stuck with lack of testing
15:57 oleonard Whatever happened to Biblibre's enhancement to add editing to the circulation rules interface?
15:57 nengard weather man said it would feel like 105 degrees with the humidity here

15:51 jcamins @wunder 11375
15:46 jcamins schuster: ^^ exactly what I was trying to communicate.
15:45 jwagner Yes. It depends on how clean the catalog is. If you're merging data from multiple sources, you can't really rely on it
15:44 jcamins But don't confuse that situation with "001 has a standard number."
15:44 jcamins jwagner: if you are trying to overlay records from the same source, yeah, sure, use 001.
15:44 jwagner But I prefer combined matching rules, checking maybe 001, 035, 010, etc.
15:44 jwagner jcamins, not always :-) If you have a catalog with only one type of control number in 001 (like OCLC), you can use it.
15:43 jcamins schuster: use 010$a and LC-card-number.
15:43 jcamins Oh, jwagner agrees with me. :)
15:43 jcamins I know I am alone in this, but I feel it is a bad idea.
15:42 jcamins Really.
15:42 jcamins Don't use 001 for matching.
15:42 jcamins ARGH!
15:29 cait-m__ ah thx :)
15:26 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2720 enhancement, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Fines that debar automatically, should undebar automatically when paid.
15:26 oleonard cait-m__: Bug 2720
15:26 cait-m__ hmm?
15:23 wizzyrea but I don't have a read on "the best way to do it"
15:22 wizzyrea I ask because this is something that NEKLS wants to see happen
15:21 oleonard Why do you ask wizzyrea? It makes logical sense, but I wonder about the performance issue of adding another query in each pla?ce we display patron information
15:21 cait-m__ hi wizzyrea
15:20 reiveune bye
15:17 wizzyrea hi cait
15:11 cait-m__ hi all
15:05 wizzyrea on how he's suggesting this work?
15:05 huginn 04Bug 2720: enhancement, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Fines that debar automatically, should undebar automatically when paid.
15:05 wizzyrea anyone have opinions on this? http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2720
15:04 nengard sorry ?.
15:04 nengard cause they confuse the heck out of me
15:04 nengard this is why i did not write the matchpoints part of the manual
15:04 nengard um
14:50 schuster 001 as the tag match point.
14:50 schuster Very odd - when I loaded it though with 001 it did match based on the 010.
14:49 jwagner The MARC standard for LCCN number is the 010 field, and that is indexed by default as LC-card-number,Identifier-standard
14:48 nengard brain not working this week
14:48 nengard right sorry ? ignore me
14:47 schuster HUH? the 001 is whatever system number the record might come with. The record I'm playing with is from Follett.
14:45 nengard if you don't use OCLC though the 001 is the LOC number
14:45 nengard during migrations so they'd know better
14:45 nengard not that i know of, but usually druthb or talljoy do the matching rules
14:44 schuster yes that one.
14:44 schuster but that is mainly like OCLC numbers do you have any clients that match on LCCN?
14:44 nengard this one http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/catadmin.html#recordmatchingrules
14:43 pastebot "schuster" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "link to matching rules for LOC" (1 line) at http://paste.koha-community.org/38
14:43 nengard we do have a matching rule that we use at bywater for 001
14:43 nengard heh
14:43 schuster I don't know if the LOC even works actually for a matching rule. That's why I was looking at it I was trying to make it work.
14:42 nengard and I didn't write the matching rules part :) but I'll gladly edit it
14:42 nengard schuster what link?
14:42 nengard hehe
14:42 drojf hey, i was promised kohacon 2014 in croatia :P
14:42 schuster I was looking at the matching rules in the documentation and you reference LOC but for the tag you put 001 rather than 010?

14:41 nengard yes
14:41 schuster nengard about?
14:36 * jcamins_away heads back home, having spent an hour traveling into the city only to learn that his client is out of town.
14:33 jcamins_away paul_p: I tested package installation and not normal installation.
14:31 jcamins_away (your error message was in French and mine was in English, so they might be different;)
14:31 jcamins_away At least, that seems to be the same problem.
14:30 jcamins_away :)
14:29 jcamins_away Waiting for you to push it.
14:29 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8268 critical, P2, ---, jcamins, Signed Off , Koha should offer way to backup entire db
14:29 jcamins_away On bug 8268.
14:29 jcamins_away & QAed, really.
14:29 jcamins_away However, there's already a signed off patch.
14:29 jcamins_away paul_p: no, that was a silly mistake on my part.
14:29 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8467 normal, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, NEW , Error during installation spool directory
14:29 paul_p jcamins_away = and bug 8467 won't please you...
14:27 * jcamins_away gets grouchy and frustrated every time he tries to install master? :P
14:27 oleonard So... what does that mean?
14:27 jcamins_away The good news is, it doesn't matter.
14:27 jcamins_away At least, that is what I found.
14:25 jcamins_away oleonard: Data::Pagination and Data::Paginator won't install on Squeeze.
14:17 schuster found it control-number
14:16 schuster is there an LCCN number index?

13:31 mtompset Bye, #koha.
13:31 * mtompset waves.
13:31 * mtompset decides working towards shutdown is a good idea.
13:28 * mtompset grins.
13:28 mtompset Noooooooo.... not more reading.
13:22 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6716 enhancement, P3, ---, nengard, Needs Signoff , Database Documentation
13:22 nengard looking for something easy to sign off on?? want to get on the scoreboard? :) bug 6716
13:19 mtompset Of course, the leak goes away, so it is more of poor garbage collection than a leak.
13:17 mtompset what number would you suggest, dpavlin?
13:16 eythian goodness
13:16 mtompset I've watched ours leak about 1MB per koha page request.
13:16 dpavlin eythian: true. plack is influencing my judgement :-)
13:16 * oleonard also doesn't find Data::Pagination or Data::Paginator
13:16 mtompset Apache does leak.
13:16 eythian dpavlin: though CGI perl shouldn't leak :)
13:16 eythian dpavlin: yeah
13:16 eythian it's worth adding the koha repo then anyway, you get some extra packages
13:16 dpavlin eythian: MaxRequestsPerChild 0 == no limit, but I prefer number there just to be sure that something isn't leeking memory :-)
13:15 eythian oh right
13:15 mtompset It's not a required module.
13:15 * oleonard is running of of git, not Koha packages
13:15 mtompset I think I grabbed that from jcamins.
13:15 eythian but it's not depended on by default (my fault)
13:15 * mtompset smirks.
13:15 eythian oleonard: it's in the koha repo
13:14 oleonard No package for Template::Plugin::HtmlToText ?
13:14 mtompset It's a default value.
13:13 eythian but I don't really know
13:13 eythian I assume that means "no limit"
13:13 dpavlin Why is MaxRequestsPerChild 0 ?
13:13 mtompset True... that would probably eat our memory completely up.
13:13 eythian not in 512
13:13 eythian maxclients, you can't server 150 connections
13:12 mtompset Which is too high?
13:12 mtompset MaxRequestsPerChild 0
13:12 mtompset MaxClients 150
13:12 mtompset MaxSpareServers 10
13:12 mtompset MinSpareServers 5
13:12 mtompset StartServers 5
13:11 eythian jcamins_away: that seems pleasantly cool :)

13:11 jcamins_away @wunder 11375
13:11 eythian that'd also work :)
13:11 mtompset I came up with aptitude search apache | grep ^i
13:10 * eythian remember that trick
13:10 eythian I didn't know that, that's neat
13:10 eythian apt-cache policy apache2-mpm*
13:10 eythian you can just do this:
13:10 eythian wholly cow
13:10 mtompset How do I see which apache module I have installed?
13:09 eythian you can only have one
13:09 eythian see which apache module you have installed
13:09 mtompset How do I know which module I am running?
13:09 eythian which I think is the same as mpm-prefork
13:09 eythian it's whichever module you're running, probably mpm-itk
13:09 mtompset How do I know which module, eythian?
13:07 mtompset Welcome to the tropics. ;)

13:06 mtompset @wunder MNL

13:06 oleonard @wunder 45701
13:05 mtompset We're getting it bumped up.
13:05 mtompset what's the conf file to check?
13:05 eythian especially if you're running mysql in that too
13:05 eythian although 512 is on the low side
13:04 eythian maybe your apache maxchilds is too high
13:04 mtompset we have 512MB. :)

13:04 eythian @wunder marseille
13:04 eythian depends. 2-4GB typically
13:04 mtompset how much memory do you have?
13:04 eythian I just reindex and it's immediately happy
13:03 mtompset It avoids the memory problems we were having, and it works.
13:03 mtompset I turn off apache, do a full reindex, restart the daemon, and start apache.
13:03 mtompset yes, weird.
13:02 eythian weird
13:02 mtompset The file handles go stale or something for me.
13:02 eythian you shouldn't have to
13:02 mtompset everytime I do a full reindex, I need to restart it.
13:02 eythian only if you change zebra config
13:02 eythian it's rare to need to that
13:01 mtompset oh... did you restart the koha-zebra-daemon?
12:59 schuster I have I think what are the 2 patches to make it work, but after reindexing it still doesn't do it.
12:58 schuster Koha says it is there, but I wanted to verify. I was trying to get the ISBN 10/13 working on my community box that I have on my test box and not sure why it isn't picking it up.
12:56 mtompset That wolframalpha site is cool.
12:56 mtompset oleonard++
12:55 eythian schuster: I'd do: "sudo apt-get install libbusiness-isbn-perl" which will either install it, or won't if it's already there. Regardless, you'll know that it's installed when this is complete.
12:55 mtompset Since we are using Ubuntu anyways, and I just wanted to see if my instructions would work for debian too.
12:55 mtompset I actually tried, and encountered a messy headache, so I gave up.
12:54 eythian sounds like a lesson learnt there ;)
12:54 oleonard ...which is a christmas tree of red squares for me
12:54 mtompset If you are using debian, DO NOT attempt to install from scratch. USE THE PACKAGES!
12:54 oleonard Or check the Perl modules tab on Koha's about page
12:53 jcamins perl -e "use Business::ISBN; print 'Hi';"
12:53 schuster I want to specifically see if Business::ISBN is installed.
12:53 jcamins Barring that, perl -e "use Module; print 'Hi';"
12:52 jcamins schuster: use packages.
12:52 schuster debian system
12:52 schuster how can I see if a particular cpan module is installed?
12:51 oleonard http://www.wolframalpha.com
12:51 wahanui WolframAlpha is telling me 8 hours, is that right?
12:51 mtompset WolframAlpha?
12:50 oleonard mtompset: You can also search "8 August 02:00 UTC" on WolframAlpha. At least for me it correctly guesses my time zone
12:49 davidnind http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20120808T02
12:48 * thd has mostly stayed up and now must be turned off.
12:47 mtompset dropped down.
12:47 mtompset I was there, but the UI is confusing. I didn't see the UTC option unless I dropped done.
12:47 mtompset Thanks, jwagner
12:46 jwagner mtompset see a tool like http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

12:45 Brooke #endmeeting
12:45 Brooke #agreed next meeting is 8 August 2 UTC
12:45 * mtompset is still trying to figure out the time difference to Manila.
12:45 cait-m__ 0
12:45 mtompset +1
12:45 * eythian probably won't be able to make that time this time around, but that's OK.
12:44 * paul_p don't vote
12:44 wahanui eythian: sorry...
12:44 eythian wahanui: you don't even have a timezone
12:44 davidnind +1
12:44 libsysguy +1
12:44 jcamins +1
12:44 jwagner +1
12:44 thd +1
12:43 wahanui 1
12:43 Brooke plus 1 please
12:43 Brooke 8 August 2 Utc
12:43 mtompset Let's see 2 UTC is...
12:42 thd mtompset++
12:42 mtompset If we do August 8, it would be easier to bump back to first wednesday of month.
12:42 paul_p (still not sure)
12:42 paul_p the main question being = will I have internet where I go in fact !
12:41 thd :)
12:41 oleonard I suggest 15 August
12:41 paul_p thd = well, in fact it's less difficult during holidays = I can go back to bed hereafter ;-)
12:41 thd Exactly, whether during the summer leaving period or not, 2 UTC would be a difficulty for paul.
12:41 Brooke yep
12:41 oleonard 1 August is in two weeks
12:41 mtompset That's too close.
12:40 Brooke 1 August is still vaguely august
12:40 paul_p oleonard lol !
12:39 cait-m__ so can be aug
12:39 oleonard 4AM and during your vacation eh paul_p?
12:39 mtompset perhaps keep it to august, because the next rotation may be europe friendlier?
12:39 thd paul_p: Yes, but partly for the reason which jwagner cited.
12:39 Brooke doubt it
12:38 cait-m__ will paul be there at 4 am?
12:38 Brooke but string freeze is coming up soonish, yes?
12:38 paul_p thd = isn't this one extra long already ? :D
12:38 thd Koha should never have a holiday.
12:38 Brooke not only that
12:38 thd jwagner: The danger would then be an extra long meeting next time.
12:37 jwagner We got away from the first Wednesday of the month. Since paul_p is out all of August, maybe skip to early Sept?
12:37 eythian I never remember which way it goes :)
12:37 eythian 2 then
12:37 davidnind rotation is good, 2 UTC = 2pm in NZ
12:37 eythian I think that's about 4pm NZ time or so
12:37 mtompset Because paul_p may or may not have an update on 3.10
12:36 mtompset Well, what day will the next meeting be?
12:36 Brooke it's always shite for someone
12:36 oleonard 4AM?
12:36 mtompset So, if that is the rotation, seems good to me.
12:36 oleonard Terrible for Europe though
12:36 Brooke smack midafternoon
12:35 Brooke that's before tea
12:35 mtompset I think that puts it around supper for them.
12:35 Brooke cause its everyone's turn eventually
12:35 Brooke which is friendly for kiwis, yes?
12:35 jcamins I vote we follow that, so 2:00 UTC.
12:35 jwagner The rotation would have the next meeting at 2:00 UTC -- last two were 10:00 and 18:00
12:35 jcamins *rotation
12:34 jcamins We have a regular location.
12:34 Brooke I'm equally knackered, so I think it's equally likely
12:34 mtompset Since we were noting that a lot of Kiwis were asleep, I suggest a Kiwi friendly time be chosen.
12:34 Brooke so I don't do it again
12:34 Brooke so I'd appreciate oleonard helping this time
12:34 Brooke I bollocksed this up last time
12:34 Brooke #topic time and date of next meeting
12:33 Brooke right!
12:33 mtompset Nothing from me.
12:33 Brooke anyone?
12:33 Brooke Miscellaneous
12:31 thd gerrit++ mahara?
12:31 Brooke we're almost done
12:31 Brooke any other actions from last meeting?
12:31 mtompset We did push a lot to this meeting. I think a couple things could get pushed to the next. ;)
12:31 Brooke sleeping it is
12:30 jcamins rangi.
12:30 Brooke is the Chris it was referring to asleep now, or is it other Chris, and if it is, is he here?
12:29 Brooke Move to Gerrit to streamline and optimize workflow?
12:29 Brooke moving on
12:29 mtompset Brooke++
12:29 mtompset and reply to a work email, and make note of that chorewars site.
12:28 drojf1 long enough for me to bake a bread. it's done now :D
12:28 oleonard previous meeting_s_
12:28 mtompset quite long.
12:28 thd oleonard: Cumulated issues from lack of participation in the previous meeting.
12:28 Brooke #help please ensure that the wiki login is working for new accounts
12:27 oleonard Whoa, long meeting
12:27 thd I never noticed it not working, but I had not been giving attention.
12:26 thd drojf1: Obviously, patrons should not be expected to evaluate all features properly, no one is best at all features. However, patrons may be good candidates for testing many features.
12:25 Brooke Is the wiki login working for new folks now?
12:25 Brooke moving on, and this one is key
12:25 cait-m__ heh
12:24 jcamins eythian: heh.
12:24 eythian thd: I'm sure we've all built in "if (username eq "robin") { $fines = 0.00; } ;)
12:24 Brooke a tiny percent do and will
12:24 drojf1 thd: do you really expect patrons to learn the library system of the library they are using?
12:23 Brooke fine forgiveness might be an attractive thing
12:23 thd I worry much about prizes giving wrong motivation but libraries could easily donate greater circulation periods or other privileges.
12:23 eythian though, we'd probably have to patch them into bugzilla if we wanted them, that would be a notable amount of work
12:23 Brooke I think chorewars was uber effective for a while, and might still be so :)
12:22 eythian launchpad has karma points
12:22 Brooke wikihow has a quick thumbs up thing for edits that other people find useful
12:21 Brooke More ideas? Do other project have systems that work? (Achievement system for Developers OR better use of an existing tool like Ohloh or Chorewars for status and karma?)
12:21 Brooke almost done
12:21 Brooke in especial with no central body to donate to
12:20 Brooke it's a tougher sell getting them to look at koha
12:20 Brooke their local library, perhaps
12:20 thd There is no shortage of library patrons, some of them must be motivated to improve the library.
12:20 mtompset I may end up going to the main office in the near future to see if I can get the library person there to participate in sandbox testing. :)
12:19 thd ... or even library users.
12:19 mtompset And that's where sandboxes come in.
12:19 thd Brooke: We need to entice librarians to participate.
12:18 jcamins Not a lot more than we are already doing.
12:18 Brooke hate to be a downer here, but how much testing can we actually do with the number of manhours we've got?
12:18 mtompset There are lots of things needing sign off, or just sitting there.
12:18 mtompset How about bug hunt through bugzilla?
12:17 thd However, lack of testing is a big and not a small problem.
12:17 Brooke Organize bug hunts: try to shake out all bugs in module x, and document tests on the wiki and look at the bugs for that module so we could clean up bugzilla and get some serious testing done + get some written test plans that we could try to automate later on
12:17 Brooke moving on to
12:17 thd eythian++ start small
12:16 thd eythian: I suspect that if the feature is well considered, a feature useful for schools in Africa will be useful for schools everywhere.
12:16 eythian I think it's overkill for a situation like this. I'd suggest start small, with a byline in release notes or just an email to the lists, and then build on that if there's reception to it.
12:15 Brooke I like the idea of a foundation, even if the origin of the idea was disliked
12:14 eythian thd: or they might be developing something for a school in Africa...
12:14 thd drojfi: Poor developers may still be developing features which many parties want including relatively wealthy libraries.
12:14 Brooke and I think if it bumps about in me head long enough, I might actually try and research (or more likely accidentally stumble on) what might work from elsewhere
12:13 * mtompset nods in agreement.
12:13 Brooke I don't think it's a Koha specific problem
12:13 mtompset like that bug which is haunting paul_p with the impending release of 3.10 looming in his mind. :)
12:13 Brooke I just think we are up against a wall with testing, because I would wager that it's not fun for most people.
12:12 Brooke where it's wanted
12:12 jcamins Exactly.
12:11 eythian Even recognition of things like: most signoffs, most QA actions, most patches in the release might be a place to start
12:11 jcamins My point was, you can't say "here's a batch of fudge for whoever signs off on this patch," you have to say "here's a batch of fudge for whoever offers useful testing and feedback on this patch."
12:11 mtompset then how to deal with thd's valid concern of potentially poorer quality control?
12:11 jcamins Yeah, I don't think making it more difficult to test is the way to go.
12:10 eythian mtompset: now you're just adding difficulty so you can have proof
12:10 reiveune lol
12:10 wahanui reiveune ate them all
12:10 jcamins drojf1: chocolate?
12:10 mtompset an apache log file of their testing page requests?
12:09 Brooke but you could get bonus points :)
12:09 paul_p mtompset = you can't expect that from a librarian using sandbox...
12:09 drojf1 how is that supposed to work? a price per bug? where do all the prizes come from? what if i am poor and cannot set a fancy prize for testing my patch?
12:08 mtompset What if as proof of the testing, they include a mechanize script?
12:08 mtompset We were talking about testing and www::mechanize earlier, right?
12:08 * libsysguy prefers bribes of testing other devs
12:08 mtompset that gives me an idea.
12:08 mtompset Actually....
12:08 paul_p thd that's a risk, you're right
12:07 thd Would offering prizes actually lead to the wrong motivation and poor quality control?
12:07 eythian but you shouldn't
12:07 Brooke one would _hope_ not
12:07 eythian you_can_
12:07 mtompset Can you sign off without testing, jcamins?
12:07 Brooke so do we conflate those, or do we separate and honour both?
12:06 thd Aside from virtual gold, what prizes or bounties might anyone be prepared to offer?
12:06 jcamins It has to be for testing.
12:06 jcamins It can't just be for signing off.
12:06 mtompset I like the idea, but where will the prizes come from?
12:06 jcamins +1
12:06 jcamins Yes.
12:06 Brooke I will offer Diablo or WoW gold if there's a dev that actually wants any of either :)
12:05 Brooke Offer prizes/bounties for signing off - either on individual bugs or for doing the most signoffs in a given time frame (Mechanical Turk?)
12:05 Brooke this one is my fav cause I put it there, but I expect folks will hate it
12:05 * mtompset apologizes, "Replying to work email at 8pm at night."
12:05 * Brooke once again considers the tyrannical tenet of no objection as a sign of assent...
12:04 wahanui folks are prone to overstay hackfest so I wouldn't worry too much about that given a friendly open wifi connection
12:04 Brooke yes folks?
12:03 Brooke same thing would apply, methinks
12:03 thd Acknowledgement++
12:03 Brooke Put the monthly signoff stats from Chris C. on koha-community.org (more status)
12:03 Brooke moving on
12:03 Brooke ^
12:03 jcamins Doesn't sound like there's much discussion on that. Anyone who doesn't want their name in the release notes can easily ask for it to be removed.
12:03 eythian well, I work on koha, so...;)
12:03 davidnind for NZ 2 UTC = 2pm, depends whether you have to work or not;-)
12:02 jcamins The idea is to make sure that the people and institutions who contribute to Koha are acknowledged.
12:01 Brooke yes I think this is sort of related to the jcamins patch
12:01 thd Brooke, we should return to the topic for now but I once tried to show that much of 2 UTC lands in the largely unpopulated ocean.
12:01 Brooke anyway
12:01 Brooke someone said 2, so that's what I was talking about XD
12:01 drojf1 so, next alibi :P
12:00 drojf1 the next one would be
12:00 drojf1 it was not at 2
12:00 drojf1 13 June 2012 at 18:00 UTC+0
12:00 Brooke is 2 UTC bad for you all, too, then?
12:00 eythian but next time may be better
11:59 eythian yeah, it's not a good time for kiwis
11:59 davidnind but not always ... midnight now
11:59 thd Even much of NZ was absent from the last meeting.
11:58 Brooke it's plum for Kiwis
11:58 paul_p if someone want to improve them, he's welcomed, of course ;-)
11:58 eythian thd: that's why things rotate
11:58 jcamins mtompset: yes. It's all of a piece. :)
11:58 jcamins Anyone who doesn't want acknowledgement can easily be removed from the release notes.
11:58 thd 2 UTC is a problematic time for much of the current distribution of participants in Koha.
11:57 paul_p mtompset = sandboxes can't handle update database very well atm, and don't handle any zebra configuration change
11:57 mtompset Isn't this related to jcamins suggestion of Sponsored-by?
11:57 Brooke I think this one is cool as long as someone *wants* acknowledgement
11:57 * libsysguy will have to catch up in the logs
11:56 Brooke this feels long because it is: we essentially skived off with no meeting last time.
11:56 Brooke by the way, thanks for everyone's patience
11:56 Brooke Put the names of testers/signoffers in the release notes (more status)
11:56 mtompset Ah, okay.
11:56 drojf1 mtompset: it does not work for all
11:56 jcamins mtompset: the sandboxes can't handle all types of modifications.
11:56 jcamins So, sandboxtest sounds good to me. What's next?
11:55 mtompset Why wouldn't all bugs be tested in the sandboxes?
11:54 mtompset davidnind++
11:54 thd I am all in favour of more metadata for bibliographic materials and bugs.
11:53 jcamins This is not for bugs in the sandbox implementation, it's for bugs that can be tested in sandboxes.
11:53 jcamins thd: they cut across categories.
11:53 Brooke night
11:53 * rangi wanders off to sleep
11:53 thd jcamins: I what way do keywords differ from the existing categories for bugs in bugzilla?
11:52 davidnind http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes
11:52 mtompset okay...
11:52 Brooke should say folks where I said me XD
11:52 eythian mtompset: look through your email from today
11:51 Brooke sandboxen are things that let me test stuff without having to do a whole heap of git schtuff
11:51 Brooke so I'm thinking if we used sandboxtest that could differentiate stuff that can be tested and not get it mucked up with bugs with sandboxen or general tests, but am I right?
11:51 mtompset Okay, next uninformed question... what sandboxes?
11:50 Brooke Use a keyword in Bugzilla to mark bugs/patches that can be tested with the sandboxes
11:50 jcamins thd: adding a keyword so that people can find bugs that can be tested in the sandbox.
11:50 Brooke I'll quote it
11:50 Brooke look at the agenda
11:50 thd Brooke: what do you mean in terms of the specific application of keywords?
11:50 Brooke how about just using sandboxtest?
11:49 drojf1 you can see the keywords, somewhere. i know that there is only "regression" in it, so i must have found it somehow
11:49 davidnind not from me
11:48 mtompset No, but how will people know the keyword(s)?
11:48 jcamins None from me.
11:48 paul_p not from me ;-)
11:48 Brooke any objections to keywords for bugzilla?
11:48 Brooke but no matter
11:48 Brooke authorised entries derived from the crowd
11:48 Brooke nope. it's usually better the other way round
11:47 rangi should != will
11:47 Brooke if we authorise it, people should use it, yeah?
11:47 Brooke does anyone else?
11:47 Brooke I don't see how a keyword would hurt
11:45 Brooke I know there was just a sandbox improvement
11:45 Brooke so the next thing on here is marking bugs that can be tested in the sandboxes
11:44 rangi s/munin/huginn/
11:44 huginn rangi: Quote #73: "<chris_n> owen: try /msg munin identify nick password" (added by owen at 12:38 PM, April 29, 2010)
11:44 rangi @quote get 73
11:44 huginn rangi: 1 found: #73: "<chris_n> owen: try /msg munin identify nick..."
11:44 rangi @quote search identify
11:44 paul_p nevermind.
11:44 rangi prolly need to identify
11:43 huginn paul_p: I've exhausted my database of quotes
11:43 paul_p @quote 211
11:43 paul_p hey, I thought I was registred !
11:43 mtompset And you had a typo, paul_p.
11:43 huginn paul_p: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
11:43 paul_p @quote add rangi you're mad if you are tyring to fix C4::Search
11:43 Brooke but I wanted to mention it cause I saw it and immediately thought "Koha!!!"
11:43 rangi you should be working in Koha::SearchEngine::*
11:43 Brooke I will try and fish it up and post or link a pic someplace
11:42 Brooke thd I suspect it might live behind a small wall
11:42 rangi you're mad if you are tyring to fix C4::Search
11:42 thd Brooke: Does this WikiMedia bug dashboard have a proper name?
11:42 mtompset Thankfully, I doubt it is like C4::Search.
11:42 jcamins mtompset: okay, that one's a little scarier.
11:41 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5515 major, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Leading 'and' in search never returns a result
11:41 mtompset It's what rangi said to me regarding bug 5515.
11:41 jcamins mtompset: actually, it's really simple.
11:40 Brooke it's very clever for getting a really quick visual
11:40 * mtompset smirks, "clone it and send patches. Sounds like enter a maze of doom."
11:40 tweetbot` [off] Twitter: @27point7: "interesting uniform idea (by @Tredok ) for koha teams all around the world? http://t.co/yiPSchdl ;-) #kohails"
11:40 Brooke and for say article writing, there are a billion waiting, so it's a thunderstorm
11:39 Brooke so that there are picture sections
11:39 Brooke they have weather mapped theirs
11:39 rangi you can clone it and send patches
11:38 rangi http://dashboard.koha-community.org/
11:38 mtompset Sounds like a feature request. Is there a feature freeze in effect. ;)
11:37 Brooke it will be the coolest thing evar
11:37 Brooke with the wiki dashboard
11:37 Brooke so I think that if we cross breed the bug list
11:37 Brooke and how successful just the red, yellow, and orange bits were
11:37 Brooke and I remember magnus and chris doing some visualisation work
11:37 Brooke that was totally intuitive
11:37 Brooke had this dashboard
11:37 Brooke and the Wikihow folks
11:36 Brooke (trust me this is related)
11:36 Brooke which was super cool and super cheap
11:36 Brooke I went to wikimania
11:36 Brooke so
11:36 Brooke #topic Old Business - Bug Signoff
11:36 Brooke so let's do the bug signing off bit
11:35 * mtompset cheers for his home country of Canada. :)
11:35 * Brooke crosses her fingers for Mexico, too.
11:35 Brooke plus a heap of Canadians :)
11:35 Brooke I think there will be tonnes of Yanks on budgets that don't let them travel outside the US that will come
11:35 mtompset That's why I decided not to vote, because it is very unlikely that I will be going.
11:34 rangi paul_p: exactly, so we dont want that again
11:33 Brooke yes eythian ;)
11:33 paul_p (for KohaCon11, 600+ ppl voted for Mumbai. there were not 600 ppl attending, from far ;-) )
11:33 rangi paul_p: so many votes, surely people only voted for something in first place if they intend to go .. 297 first place for reno
11:33 eythian I assume we have to shoot a man just to watch him die, eh?
11:32 paul_p drojf = why do you way it will be large ?
11:32 nengard and the last one in the US was pretty darn big too
11:32 nengard I'll post to the website as well
11:31 Brooke nengard++
11:31 Brooke that'd be awesome
11:31 nengard Okey dokey :)
11:31 drojf that is gonne be one large kohacon
11:30 paul_p nengard = I don't see why it should be delayed ;-)
11:30 mtompset It's been announced, why not?
11:30 nengard I have the email ready to go
11:30 nengard can I email the lists with this info?
11:30 * thd is from California originally and has spent much time in Reno.
11:30 Brooke #info Congratulations Reno
11:29 nengard rangi, there are a lot of librarians in CA and NV that I think voted so they'll be there
11:28 * thd was busy raising money for FSF and failed to vote before the polls closed.
11:28 rangi but as long as those 297 ppl who voted for reno in first place turn up, all good
11:27 rangi it had a huge flurry, nigeria was leading until about 4 days out
11:27 thd The desert seems extraordinarily popular.
11:27 rangi night joann
11:26 eythian later joann
11:26 joann night all
11:25 rangi those tally with my count
11:24 * oleonard must leave for work
11:24 nengard Votes for KohaCon 13 (which I think I can post now) have been put on the wiki: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Kohacon2013
11:24 rangi its too soon to know
11:23 rangi they have money, it may cover it and have 200 left over, or they may have a shortfall
11:23 rangi yes
11:22 mtompset he said bills, not revenues. ;)
11:21 rangi they need the final bill to come in, then he will let us know
11:21 rangi so they may not
11:20 rangi Brooke: its + or - 200
11:20 Brooke #topic KohaCon 2013
11:19 Brooke #help please donate to cover the last of KohaCon expenses. Just need 200ish quid
11:19 jcamins GBP
11:18 jcamins Exactly.
11:18 mtompset Donations still welcome. ;)
11:18 mtompset Right.
11:18 mtompset stayed at...
11:18 * jcamins will rephrase: two-thirds of the bills have been received, and based on what they're expecting for the last couple bills (from the University of Edinburgh), they're expecting a shortfall of ~200GPB.
11:17 mtompset I think he mentioned the other day that one of the places you stay hadn't sent the bill yet.
11:16 Brooke I wish slef had stuck around to qualify that billing bit
11:16 thd However, hugininn had not changed the topic yet.
11:16 Brooke It was also awesome, from what I heard ;)
11:16 thd It was on the agenda when I looked.
11:15 Brooke #topic KohaCon 12
11:15 slef now I must go to mdeal with an unexpected problem. bye.
11:15 Brooke lemme at least get the right topic up XD
11:15 nengard sorry all
11:15 nengard oops
11:15 Brooke hang on
11:15 rangi or we could put it on the agenda and le the meeting continue
11:15 paul_p nengard = you jump in the middle of the monthly meeting, and KohaCon13 is the next point ;-)
11:15 slef ok well if kohacon13 won't wait, I won't either. kohacon12 update 2/3rds of bills in, still + or - £200, too soon to tell. vids delayed by my move (no dsl hinders uploading), doing as time permits but it's hard
11:15 jcamins paul_p: I know... thank goodness for tab complete!
11:15 thd please share
11:14 paul_p jcamins = which is really a bad thing to type on a keyboard ;-)
11:14 nengard Unless someone thinks my math is wrong - which is why I'll share
11:14 rangi jcamins: not me :)
11:14 jcamins paul_p: my fingers are crossed. :P
11:14 nengard but the winner is Reno, NV
11:14 nengard I'm about to share the survey results
11:14 joann drum roll;
11:14 mtompset but the 2 month feature freeze is a side effect of the desire for stability.
11:14 rangi the current release date is october 22, but paul_p can shift that as is his perogative
11:13 paul_p I think i'll discuss of this also with jcamins (unless there's another crazy that want to be RM ;-) )
11:13 nengard Okay - the results are in
11:13 rangi mtompset: we havent agreed anything
11:13 mtompset If we've agreed that there is a 2 month feature freeze and no freezes in summer, then wouldn't some time in November be the tentative release date for 3.10?
11:13 joann nodding here
11:12 rangi and like if paul_p has, they ask for advice, we give it, but ultimately it's their release
11:12 rangi if we are going to elect someone to the thankless task that it is, we should try to let them decide how they want to run it
11:11 rangi thats up to the people who write their proposals to be the next RM
11:10 Brooke but it's not too late for next go
11:10 * mtompset nods.
11:10 paul_p Brooke = of course it's important ! (and I started it ;-) ) but we could discuss for hours !
11:09 rangi paul_p: i think the feature freeze is all we can do for this release, too late in the cycle to do anything else
11:09 Brooke which is why I've let it go for 40 minutes
11:09 Brooke paul this is important
11:09 Brooke something has to address that gap.
11:09 paul_p discussing of this for 40mn now. Maybe we can close the discussion, I'll do a summary on koha-devel, and continue trying to find the best solution ?
11:09 Brooke can we work in a bugtesting fee to new features?
11:09 Brooke so if that's happened in perpetuity
11:08 rangi the tests catch more and more stuff, and with http::recorder and mechanize we can test js too
11:08 Brooke #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Interface_testing_with_WWW::Mechanize
11:08 rangi :)
11:08 Brooke dunno, so I'll redo
11:08 slef rangi: someone gave a talk about that at kohacon...
11:07 paul_p rangi ++ for the problem of no one want to pay for that...
11:07 thd We need a road maintenance tax.
11:07 jcamins I didn't include the http://
11:07 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6874 enhancement, P3, ---, julian.maurice, Failed QA , File upload in MARC
11:07 paul_p for example, I just failed QA bug 6874, look at comment 32 to see why ! that's something I just discovered by chance !
11:07 * mtompset was thinking the same thing, jacmins.
11:07 jcamins Brooke: will that link work?
11:07 rangi they want to pay for new features
11:07 rangi the problem is no one wants to pay anyone to do that
11:07 jcamins #link wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Interface_testing_with_WWW::Mechanize
11:07 rangi yep
11:07 jcamins And we can do functionality regression tests, too!
11:07 rangi it trumps features
11:06 rangi is write more tests
11:06 rangi the most useful thing anyone can do for koha
11:06 paul_p mtompset = and the problem is that there are so many options/sysprefs !
11:06 rangi mtompset: we have 57% subroutine coverage
11:06 paul_p mtompset = I know bywater is working on that atm.
11:06 rangi the more you cram in, the more likely it is to break
11:05 mtompset Actually, has anyone actually developed a test plan for every module in Koha?
11:05 rangi thd: thats what happens with longer cycles
11:05 paul_p Brooke = when 3.8 was released, everything had been tested and it was supposed to be OK. Except there was some side effect the QA process has not detected.
11:05 thd I had previously, objected based on projects which are so large that they can never have a feature freeze early enough to fix all bugs which should be blockers.
11:05 oleonard Yes
11:05 rangi yep, so longer feature freeze it is
11:04 mtompset So it seems we all want stability.
11:04 Brooke I think it's just as bad to introduce a buggy as version just to hit 6 months
11:04 Brooke note that I've never proposed 3 years, and that was from constantly moving goalposts instead of honestly assessing things
11:04 thd rangi: I am making that point of concurrence.
11:03 rangi and it took 3 years
11:03 rangi 3.0.0 was a night mare
11:03 rangi thd: koha is a zillion times more stable now (even with the 3.8 bugs) than it was ever before
11:03 eythian_ Calendar releases also makes planning possible which is good.
11:02 thd Some projects work poorly with calendar releases. Koha seems OK thus far. Some GNU/Linux distributions using calendar releases cannot be trusted to actually work in my experience.
11:02 davidnind We get summer? Yeh!
11:02 paul_p are you implying it's always summer in NZ ? ;-) ( not what eythian_ is saying :D )
11:02 Brooke hang on, Kiwis come *off* holiday?
11:02 eythian_ Whichever day summer falls on that year
11:01 rangi whenever :)
11:01 rangi march
11:01 rangi january
11:01 rangi december
11:01 paul_p rangi right. when are the southern summer holidays ?
11:01 rangi and course thats only the northern summer :)
11:00 paul_p mtompset = I would say nothing is in stone, but i'm strongly against changing it again !
11:00 thd I have overcome my past objection to calendar releases with the commitment to continued bug fixes after release.
11:00 rangi hmm i would have thought holidays is perfect freeze time :)
11:00 mtompset And this 6 month cycle, is it in stone, or flexible by a given amount of time?
11:00 jcamins Got it.
11:00 jcamins paul_p: ah.
11:00 paul_p jcamins = not feature freeze during summer holidays
10:59 oleonard ...not within the current release cycle
10:59 jcamins What is the benefit of May/November?
10:59 paul_p oleonard right
10:59 oleonard It should be discussed as part of the process of choosing a new RM
10:59 Brooke when is Owen? I bring it up, and I'm nearly always patronised.
10:59 paul_p maybe switch from april/oct releases to may/nov, and have feature freeze sept 22 ?
10:58 oleonard Brooke, I don't think this is the time or place to propose changes to the release cycle
10:58 Brooke I think the sticking to the deadline bit is way more important than picking an insane deadline and fitting services to it
10:58 thd I think that the six month releases allow incremental improvement and encourage much more care in commits to not break things for major changes.
10:58 paul_p mtompset = anyway, i'll be in holiday from aug 4th to 26th, so the FF won't be on aug 22, because it would mean Aug 4th, that's too early !
10:58 rangi eeewww
10:58 Brooke and 9 or 12 for enhancements
10:58 Brooke we could rotate. we could have 6 months for bugfixing
10:57 oleonard mtompset: That has not been the case historically
10:57 paul_p s/soon/early/
10:57 paul_p and I think that the early Feature Freeze goes with branching stable soon !
10:57 oleonard The enhancements can wait, but the bug fixes can't
10:57 mtompset but does the feature freeze need to be 2 months? is 1 month enough?
10:57 oleonard Agreed, and that means sticking to an early feature freeze
10:57 slef back
10:56 rangi paul_p++
10:56 paul_p I don't want to switch back to feature releases ! the 6 months seems a good periodicity. We must stick with it !
10:56 rangi i disagree its madness, i think there are areas of improvement
10:56 mtompset Actually, 6 months is a good length of time, because this means there are two bursts of fixes as releases are coming out.
10:55 rangi to the problem of doing not calendar releases and 3.5 year releases
10:55 Brooke we try it all at once in 6 months and that's madness.
10:55 Brooke there's no logical rotation between enhancement and bugfixing versions
10:55 rangi no its the solution
10:55 jcamins But if the fix can be done without changing strings, that's to be prefered after string freeze.
10:55 Brooke thd that's the problem
10:54 thd Making the release "more different" is only what should be done for releases which are not based on a calendar schedule. We are doing calendar schedule releases.
10:54 rangi critical bug fixes that change strings usually get pushed anyway
10:54 rangi and string is soft
10:54 rangi only feature and string
10:53 rangi there is never a bugfix freeze
10:53 dpavlin ack
10:53 paul_p dpavlin = "critical" means it's not an ENH
10:53 rangi dpavlin: we are talkign feature freeze
10:53 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8418 critical, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, Needs Signoff , Koha::Calendar is_holiday ignores all user data
10:53 dpavlin Q: would things like Bug 8418 would go in while in bugfix freeze?
10:53 mtompset I agree, oleonard
10:53 thd oleonard++
10:52 oleonard It doesn't make sense to seek to push more enhancements just for the sake of making the release "more different"
10:52 eythian_ Branch an -rc?
10:52 rangi freezing sooner and bugfixing is the best plan
10:52 rangi i think given the currently instability of master
10:51 mtompset Do things ever come out of experimental?
10:51 jcamins #info Jared Camins-Esakov, C & P Bibliography Services
10:50 rangi you could always push them to experimental or something, after the feature freeze
10:50 paul_p rangi = right. I'll rise the idea on the mailing list
10:49 slef sorry all, I must get indsooers... pls postpone kohacon12 for me? bbi10
10:49 rangi you'd have to run that by the RM for 3.12 .. since once 3.10 is branched, master is hers/his
10:49 paul_p other option/idea = branch 3.10 earlier (in august), to let enhancements being pushed in master, while stabilizing the 3.10 . atm, during freeze, ENH continues to be submitted, but are not pushed anymore, which tend to have ENH pushed later (not sure i'm very clear ...)
10:49 thd However, if enhancements run independently of other code for a period of time, then it would be easy to exclude them if they are discovered to actually be buggy even after passing QA.
10:48 rangi ive had huge media megacorps more patient than tiny libraries
10:48 slef RAINING HARD HERE NOW
10:48 slef anyway, more list discussion?
10:48 oleonard davidnind++
10:48 Brooke perhaps some of the enhancements should be chunked smaller than they are
10:48 rangi they are like every other client
10:47 rangi they are not
10:47 rangi lol
10:47 Brooke also, Librarians are patient people. I can't say this enough
10:47 mtompset Quite true.
10:47 thd davidmind++
10:47 Brooke I agree david
10:47 rangi davidnind++
10:47 davidnind Better to have fewer enhancements and a stable release, rather than a buggy release (for reputation as a great product, if nothing else)
10:47 rangi 3.6.0 had one month feature freeze
10:46 thd slef: We need more independence between features to avoid building on untested code.
10:45 rangi ppl running from dev .. not from releases will be the only ones affected by db updates anyway
10:45 slef thd: when someone built on it
10:45 mtompset timestamp vs. date (db change)
10:45 slef mtompset: this is release engineering not utopia
10:45 davidnind First option seems sensible to meet six month release cycle, and provide a stable release..
10:44 Brooke shifting the problems to the next release just shifts the problem.
10:44 paul_p agreed with slef
10:44 thd mtompset: When is it not possible to revert code?
10:44 slef mtompset: but 90% I suspect
10:44 slef mtompset: no, not always
10:44 rangi it is more often than not
10:44 paul_p slef ... maybe ... i'll think a little bit more of this option... not sure
10:44 thd slef++
10:44 mtompset that isn't always possible, slef.
10:44 slef paul_p: leave db update hope to reintro in x.1 or x.2, but revert code?
10:43 paul_p I agree it just shifts the problem.
10:43 paul_p hey, rangi is not sleeping ;-)
10:43 rangi longer cycle just shifts the problem
10:43 rangi worked for 3.6 though
10:43 Brooke we could do a 9 or 12 month release cycle #justsayin
10:43 paul_p slef = it's hard to revert ENH, because they usually have DB updates
10:43 mtompset pledges don't mean anything. Don't count the chickens before they hatch.
10:42 paul_p slef = it has been proven for 3.4 and 3.8 that it does not work well
10:42 slef paul_p: and can we be braver at reverting buggy enh?
10:42 slef paul_p: why 2mo freeze? could we shorten if lots pledge to test+fix a lot?
10:42 paul_p (4th option = change nothing, but I think it's not a good option !)
10:41 paul_p or a 3rd option I don't see atm
10:41 paul_p or keep oct 22 as .0 release, but clearly announce it will be a beta
10:41 paul_p either keep oct 22, say there will be a 2 months freeze for large enh, meaning everything must be in before aug, 22
10:40 paul_p mtompset = that's my personal debate atm !
10:40 mtompset So when is 3.10 tentatively coming out?
10:40 paul_p another one = I had not a lot of feedback on my POC for thread "http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Namespace_RFC, moving ahead"
10:39 Brooke #info problem with release cycle
10:38 paul_p that's my biggest point for 3.10 for now.
10:38 paul_p is there a 3rd option ? which one ?
10:38 paul_p OTOH, ppl seem not to be happy with the idea of saying .0 is a announced as beta
10:38 paul_p I don't want to do that.
10:38 paul_p saying 2 months before the release "I won't push any ENH" mean that the freeze will occur in august, 22, which is "tomorrow"
10:37 paul_p that's the problem the thread still don't address
10:37 Brooke paul I have stuff for this under its proper topic. Don't let me forget :)
10:36 paul_p The pile of ENH waiting for a signoff is very large, and I wouldn't like to see all of them being signed-off & passing QA & pushed too close from the release.
10:35 paul_p slef = I strongly hope it will be before 3.10 !!!
10:35 * mtompset notes that is a reason why we're only upgrading to 3.6.7 next.
10:35 Brooke #help help Paul with bug 8251 - libraries that record fines in days really need you!
10:35 paul_p I've started a thread on koha-devel about release process, a lot of discussion here, I think i'll continue the discussion soon.
10:34 slef paul_p++ and should that be a blocker for 3.10?
10:34 paul_p (and it's a 3.8 problem, because 3.8 has the bug !)
10:34 paul_p for now, 4 patches have been submitted to fix the problem, but it still not fixed. I plan to work this afternoon on this one.
10:33 paul_p this bug is mostly caused by the switch to hourly loan, and changes in date comparisons.
10:33 Brooke which would be like heaps of libraries :(
10:32 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8251 critical, P1 - high, ---, koha, Passed QA , Patrons are systematically debarred at checkin
10:32 paul_p for now, my main concern is bug 8251 that we haven't killed yet, and is a big problem for all libraries using fines in days
10:32 slef phew
10:32 oleonard the latter
10:32 slef move to, or move to add support for?
10:32 paul_p it causes jenkins to be unstable atm, but that's a not a "big" unstability, and there are some patches underway to fix it.
10:31 paul_p You've seen in my previous monthly RM newsletter that a very important patch has been pushed, to start the move to solr.
10:31 * mtompset scowls at slef. ;)
10:31 * oleonard thanks paul_p for being here
10:31 mtompset thank you, thd.
10:31 paul_p yep, i'm here -and not a bot- ;-)

10:23 Brooke anything else on 3.6 or are we movin' on?
10:22 paul_p Brooke = I think it's better for readers of minutes to have it, so it's not spammy imo
10:22 Brooke sorry, want to get all of that in the minutes, so I've to be a bit spammy :)

10:20 Brooke #info There's a Debian repo tracking
10:20 paul_p dashboard says 2012-07-15 - String freeze for 3.6.7
10:19 mtompset There was a string freeze announced recently for 3.6.7 coming out shortly.
10:19 Brooke any other noteworthy 3.6 news?
10:18 slef docs > sense
10:18 eythian I know those names don't make sense.
10:17 eythian Which means we have packages for oldstable (3.6) squeeze (3.8) and squeeze-dev (master)
10:17 eythian http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.6_on_Debian_Squeeze <-- the usual place
10:16 slef #link http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp for debian Orphan and RFA examples
10:16 Brooke Sweet As, bro. :)
10:16 paul_p eythian = debian repo ? which url ?
10:16 eythian 3.6
10:16 eythian err
10:16 eythian There's now a debian repo tracking 3.4
10:16 slef paul_p: drat.
10:16 Brooke anyone have anything on 3.6
10:15 Brooke #info there will be no more porridge for 3.4
10:15 thd :)
10:15 oleonard A few beatings usually eke out a little more effort from exhausted orphans
10:15 paul_p slef = page not found :\
10:14 thd Announce that the orphans are exhausted.
10:14 slef #link http://www.debian.org/wnpp for debian Orphan and RFA examples
10:14 Brooke #topic Roadmap to 3.6
10:14 slef see
10:14 Brooke think this is exhausted
10:13 eythian Too many people are still using old versions as it is.
10:13 oleonard If no one has done it by then I'll send a message to the list in 3hrs. We can have the discussion there
10:13 thd ... and mean.
10:12 thd Killing is unnecessary.
10:12 thd We should announce an orphan but not a killing.
10:12 paul_p slef agreed
10:12 eythian thd: there is, or people don't know they're orphaned
10:12 slef paul_p: make it official, encourage more upgrades
10:11 eythian I'm of the opinion it'd be best to declare an end-of-life for things like that.
10:11 thd Exactly, orphans are merely orphaned. There is no need to try to kill them.
10:11 Brooke I'm pretty sure someone sent that out to listserv months back, lemme see if I can dig it up
10:11 oleonard It should at least be known that there will be no more releases unless someone takes charge of it
10:11 paul_p I think Koha 3.4 is de-facto orphaned
10:11 slef if anyone wants to fund 3.4 rm nd someone will workl on it, let them, else call it orphaned?
10:10 eythian thd: I think it's good too kill them, just to announce that people should be moving now.
10:10 slef (sorry, slow web here)
10:10 Brooke we don't have a formal quorum Owen, so it's a bit hard to count if we've got one.
10:10 eythian I kinda thought that 3.4 would have dies when 3.8 came out.
10:10 thd Brooke, it is never necessary to formally kill a branch. Branches like standards die their own quiet death eventually.
10:09 Brooke #help someone poll the list about end of life for 3.4
10:09 Brooke don't believe it has one
10:09 oleonard Did we even have a quorum last time?
10:09 slef who's rm? polled the list?
10:09 mtompset I thought that was the consensus from what I read of last meetings logs.
10:08 Brooke Are we killing this?

07:25 mveron dcook: Great, thanks a lot! - You are faster then I was with my first SO. Only thing to do now is to switch status from Needs Sign-off to Signed off.
07:22 dcook There we go, mveron. It's the first patch that I've signed off, so I've left a bit of a mess in trying to do it right. Sorry for all the comments and obsolete attachments.
07:11 dcook It looks like I screwed up my sign off...
07:11 dcook No worries, mveron

06:23 dcook It's pretty simple, but I think Bug 8448 would be a good one to get out

06:16 mtompset Greetings, Amit_Gupta and mveron.
06:15 mveron Good morning #koha
06:14 Amit_Gupta heya dcook
06:10 dcook I met my partner a few months ago, and while I have to go back to Canada for a few months at the end of the year, Australia is certainly my second home as well now
06:10 dcook Sounds like a classic story
06:10 mtompset Well, I had worked here before in my previous assignment. I met my wife here. So, it's like my second home now. :)
06:08 dcook I originally came to Australia on a 6 month work term, but now it looks like I'll be working with Koha here for at least the next few years
06:07 dcook That's rather exciting
06:07 mtompset I'm in the Philippines until November.
06:07 dcook Fair enough
06:06 mtompset My organization seconded me to SIL Asia Area whose headquarters are here.
06:06 mtompset Well, Greater-Toronto-Area. No sense saying the Town's name.
06:02 dcook You're in the Philippines now though, right? What takes you there?
06:01 dcook I was totally going to say Toronto, but I thought better of it :p
06:01 mtompset Doesn't everyone equate Toronto with Ontario? ;)
06:01 dcook I've bounced all over Sk, myself
06:00 dcook Where in Ontario are you from?
06:00 dcook It's hard not to sometimes.
06:00 mtompset I studied out in Langley, BC. But somehow everyone does seem to equate Vancouver as B.C.
05:59 mtompset Ontario.
05:59 wahanui You are welcome, I also tried the other - moving js out of translated paths
05:59 dcook You?
05:59 dcook (as if it were its own province :P)
05:59 dcook Born and raised in Saskatchewan, but most recently of Vancouver, BC
05:59 dcook Good question
05:59 mtompset (or territory)
05:59 mtompset Which province?
05:58 dcook :o
05:58 mtompset Okay, you weren't saying as a Canadian jab... -- Greetings, fellow Canadian. :)
05:57 dcook It doesn't really mean anything. And it's not a question. The ? mark just denotes rising intonation when we're speaking
05:56 dcook I'm pretty sure other people in the world say it as well, but it's a (semi-)stereotypical expression that we say from time to time.
05:55 dcook As for "eh", I'm Canadian :p
05:55 dcook That's my goal :)
05:55 wahanui I know. That's why I said it.
05:55 dcook Very true
05:55 mtompset Understanding is necessary to make better changes.
05:55 dcook Understanding is always good :)
05:54 mtompset Seems like others are as well, and I suspect they'll succeed before I do, but at least I'll understand the mess.
05:53 mtompset 'eh?' -- Why did you say 'eh?'?
05:52 dcook That's why you're working on Auth ;)
05:52 dcook No kidding, eh?
05:51 * mtompset cringes, "Functional, but ugly if you want to scale."
05:51 dcook Not a terrible solution for small special libraries
05:51 dcook Of course, this only works for storing 1 u/n and p/w, but it looks like how we're getting around actual remote authentication
05:51 dcook We also set a system preference based on the base URL of the link in the record, so when you click the link for a specific website, you can get a pop-up telling you a username and password that you've stored in your syspref
05:50 dcook The customization I just mentioned..
05:50 dcook Power to you!
05:46 mtompset once understood, then I'll be in a position to understand what to do with respect to SAML 2.0 authentication.
05:45 mtompset Slowly but surely, I'll understand this code.
05:45 mtompset I'm working at understanding CGI::Session.
05:45 mtompset I've thought that we don't use .htaccess authentication, and the first if might not be necessary any more.
05:44 mtompset I'm at checkauth in C4::Auth...
05:43 mtompset 2) hack in SAML 2.0 authentication.
05:43 mtompset or
05:43 mtompset 1) rewrite the mess (which has been suggested to me several times)
05:43 mtompset second, figure out how to either:
05:43 mtompset first, understand what is there.
05:34 dcook What are you trying to do?
05:33 dcook Mind you, I'm sure everyone would :p
05:33 dcook I would love to know the answer to the whole auth situation
05:32 dcook Mmm, hence that earlier question about REMOTE_USER
05:28 mtompset And that is the maze I'm looking at right now, dcook... SSO, authentication, SAML 2.0
05:28 dcook Probably not that useful
05:27 * dcook shrugs
05:27 dcook Hmm, yeah...just a note that further authentication is needed.
05:26 dcook It looks like the idea is to use a single sign-on, although I don't think it's gotten that far yet..
05:26 dcook On top of that, we've added an onclick event to prompt users to log in, if the link is for a database requiring authentication
05:25 dcook Essentially, it puts a link in the search results. If there is just one link in the bib record, it replicates that. If there are multiple, it takes you into the record (and just acts like a pointer).
05:24 dcook It might be one I spin back to the community, but it would require some adjustments
05:23 dcook True!
05:23 dcook Hehe
05:23 dcook We have two very similar functions in two separate modules, and we weren't populating a variable in one of them, which caused a total (but very unnoticeable) failure
05:23 mtompset It would be better if wasn't a localized problem, and then you could help the rest of us too. ;)
05:23 dcook Thanks :)
05:23 mtompset Congratulations, dcook.
05:22 * dcook celebrates finding the solution to his problem.
05:22 dcook hi Oak :)
05:21 mtompset As good as can be, I suppose.
05:20 Oak things are okay here. i hope you are good.
05:20 Oak hello mtompset :)
05:19 mtompset Long time, no chat. How are things over there?
05:18 mtompset Greetings, Oak.
05:12 * Oak waves
05:04 dcook Mind you, it's a local customization, so I can't get too grumpy..
05:04 dcook I'm looking at Search now :P
05:03 mtompset Oh wait... this is the maze of doom that jcamins suggested I enter... never mind. This is Auth, not Search.
05:00 mtompset Wasn't it you and rangi that sent me in? :P
05:00 cait why me? :)
04:59 mtompset Can I blame you? ;)
04:59 mtompset I'm still tinkering with the labyrinth of doom, cait.
04:59 mtompset Greetings, cait.
04:56 cait hi #koha
04:18 mtompset Koha doesn't use .htaccess authentication at all anymore, does it?!
04:09 mtompset Leads me to believe that REMOTE_USER is only defined if there was .htaccess authentication on the directory.
04:09 mtompset http://www.cgi101.com/class/ch3/text.html
04:08 mtompset Ah, I think I found the answer to my question about REMOTE_USER.
04:07 mtompset Shhhh! Their listening. ;)
04:00 chris_n probably for all but the most exotic control freaks
03:58 mtompset Interesting thought, but a tad out of scope for Koha, don't you think? :)
03:58 chris_n lol
03:57 * chris_n briefly imagines librarians controling the HVAC systems in their libraries via koha
03:57 mtompset http://xkcd.com/327/
03:57 chris_n right ;-)
03:56 mtompset Make sure to sanitize your inputs. ;)
03:56 chris_n I'm working on a web interface for the script
03:56 chris_n I've a script which acts as a client to connect to a port on a building automation system
03:55 mtompset What are you running Socket for?
03:54 mtompset That makes no sense.
03:53 chris_n not nice....
03:53 chris_n it seems that a call to Socket via cgi consumes 99.9% of the quad-core cpu as well as 99.9% of available memory :-P
03:51 mtompset Sorry... no idea.
03:46 chris_n off-topic a bit, but does anyone know of issues when using perl Socket in scripts run by apache?
03:40 mtompset Is REMOTE_USER ever defined, and how?
03:39 mtompset I just checked environment variables on our 3.6.3 system which is behind a proxy in firefox and IE, and my development VM in firefox and IE, and found that REMOTE_USER is not defined.
03:34 mtompset 3.4.8? I thought there was agreement to axe the 3.4?
03:28 mtompset Still reading and reading.
03:28 dcook I'm just about to run off for lunch, but I hope your auth readings went well the other day
03:27 dcook Hi ya mtompset :)
03:25 mtompset Greetings, dcook.
03:24 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
01:04 libsysguy you have successfully authenticated :p
01:03 libsysguy haha yeah i also get nickserv messages jeff
01:03 jeff that's NickServ's fault. ;-)
01:02 Guest3040 i seem to have lost my nick.
01:02 Guest3040 oh dear.
01:02 Guest3040 libsysguy: ChanServ is part of OFTC's IRC Services (common on most IRC networks). It can be charged with a number of things, including the granting of channel operator status and the welcome message you received upon joining the channel. Someone with the proper credentials configured ChanServ to send that message, and to op rangi, etc.
01:02 jcamins_away I think.
01:02 jcamins_away That keeps the channel from popping out of existence if everyone disconnects.
01:02 jcamins_away This channel is managed by chanserv.
00:49 libsysguy so i was just curious
00:49 libsysguy i just saw rangi get +o-ed by the same name
00:49 jcamins_away Ah. No idea.
00:48 libsysguy welcoming me to the koha board
00:48 libsysguy i get a PM from chanserv every time i sign in
00:47 wahanui hmmm... message is a warning not an error.
00:47 jcamins_away What message?
00:47 libsysguy what is the reason for the chanserv message on signin?
