02:04 ala_3vo         Hello #koha
02:05 ala_3vo         After installing koha-common, mysql and koha-create, I encountered an error message
02:05 ala_3vo         Syntax error on line 69 of /etc/koha/apache-shared.conf:
02:05 ala_3vo         Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a
02:06 ala_3vo         module not included in the server configuration
02:06 ala_3vo         Action 'configtest' failed.
02:06 ala_3vo         The Apache error log may have more information.
02:20 libsysguy       ala_3vo you may need to enable mod_rewrite
02:21 libsysguy       $ a2enmod rewrite
02:26 ala_3vo         libsysguy: thanks that worked
02:26 libsysguy       sweet, good luck
02:33 ala_3vo         if I koha-create --create-db instancename another, I still have that same error.
02:33 ala_3vo         why is that?
02:36 libsysguy       I'm not sure ala_3vo

07:26 ala_3vo         Hello #koha
07:27 ala_3vo         After installation of koha-common, and mysql successfully there was a syntax error when I run koha-create
07:28 ala_3vo         cat: /etc/koha/passwd: No such file or directory
07:28 ala_3vo         Koha instance is empty, no staff user created.
07:28 wahanui         i already had it that way, ala_3vo.
07:29 ala_3vo         okay, what was the problem wahanui?
07:30 ala_3vo         I have tried about 3 times on test environment and it came out the same
07:32 ala_3vo         but when I upgrade from previous version it was okay...

09:03 koyauni         hi guys, anyone good with Debian dedicated servers
09:03 eythian         koyauni: it depends, what's your question?
09:04 koyauni         I got this unmanaged server with hetzner.de and I can not run php pages,
09:05 koyauni         I say this sort of thing are so basic that a server should do these thing out of box but they say this is it take it or leave it :(
09:05 koyauni         here is a sample page
09:05 koyauni         http://xuwarin.org/phpinfo.php
09:05 koyauni         it is Debian 6, with Apache 2, Php 5.x
09:06 koyauni         and I have gone though hell putting koha on it I do not want to juet leave it
09:06 eythian         "More information about this error may be available in the server error log." <-- what does that information tell you?
09:07 koyauni         in /var/log/apache/
09:07 koyauni         last line says
09:07 koyauni         [Thu Aug 16 10:42:25 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) DAV/2 mod_fcgid/2.3.6 mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.6.6 mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 configured -- resuming normal operations
09:08 eythian         that's not the important line. The one with the error is the one you need to be looking at.
09:08 koyauni         I do not see PHP resumin after restart
09:08 eythian         I don't really know much about PHP
09:08 koyauni         that is in the error.log
09:09 eythian         Yes, but it's not an error.
09:09 eythian         It's a notice.
09:09 koyauni         I see this line as well
09:09 koyauni         [Thu Aug 16 10:42:25 2012] [error] python_init: Python path being used '/usr/lib/python2.6/:/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2:/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk:/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old:/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload'.
09:10 eythian         you should try the request again and see what gets added to the logs
09:10 eythian         all these look like startup information.
09:10 eythian         also, if this is a koha server, why do you have php and such installed on it anyway?
09:11 koyauni         where is this log file
09:11 koyauni         may be I look in the wrong log
09:11 eythian         I don't know
09:11 eythian         somewhere in /var/log/apache2 most likely
09:11 eythian         do the request and see what files change
09:11 koyauni         I have my page for uni with information about the library
09:12 koyauni         how do you make sure in SSH command that php is runing
09:12 koyauni         I an in there and I am looking at error.log
09:12 eythian         I don't know, I don't use PHP much, and when I have had to, it just works.
09:13 koyauni         me too, I have never seen something like this
09:13 eythian         and is error.log the one that changes when you do the request that causes the error.
09:13 koyauni         and this bloody server admin say this it we do not give support :(
09:13 eythian         Well, that's what an "unmanaged" server means.
09:16 koyauni         this is odd, nothing is add to, when I reload or reaccess the page
09:16 koyauni         that you have to manage it yourself after purchase
09:17 koyauni         but I just got this, it is like buying a TV and take it home, and it does not switch on
09:17 eythian         are you sure you're hitting the right server, or looking in the right place for your log files? I'd have a look through your apache configuration and see if it's logging somewhere else.
09:17 koyauni         so they keep telling you that is find out why
09:17 koyauni         :(
09:18 koyauni         these are two domains two domains I have activated on that server for now, xuwarin.org and kurdistanica.com
09:18 koyauni         I can see html pages
09:19 koyauni         but no script pages
09:19 mtj             koyauni, you have a php problem - not a koha problem
09:19 koyauni         I am in the root of the server
09:19 eythian         Well, if nothing is being logged at all, then you are either looking in the wrong place for your log files, or you're accessing the wrong server (or something more unusual, but those are the common situations.)
09:20 koyauni         I have koha at library.koyauniversity.org and it is installed, do not know if it is working yet
09:20 mtj             (there are not many php experts in this #irc channel)
09:20 koyauni         I need to get the server right before I point to it
09:21 koyauni         I do not think this is PHP problem rather Debian server issue to run any script
09:21 eythian         if you can't see the logs, you need to find out what's going on. To do that you need to look through your configuration. Things are pretty much always logged.
09:24 mtj             koyauni, well.... whatever your problem is... its not a koha problem, yes?
09:26 mtj             do you have php installed, even?
09:27 mtj             ... via your systems parallels-panel admin-gui?
09:27 rangi           http://xuwarin.org/   <-- what page do you see here? I see something about parallels
09:28 mtj             rangi, yep, me too
09:28 koyauni         that is normal HTML page server defualt
09:28 rangi           thats not debian
09:29 koyauni         I checked yes, php5 is on Debian
09:29 eythian         yeah, that is not the normal server default for debian at all.
09:29 eythian         I think you are accessing the wrong server.
09:30 koyauni         no this is Debian 6 dedicated server with Plesk that is Plesk default page
09:30 mtj             also, http://library.koyauniversity.org shows parellels page, not koha
09:30 mtj             koyauni, no not plesk - parellels
09:30 eythian         then maybe you need to be looking into your plesk configuration.
09:31 mtj             ahh, parellels == plesk, sorry...
09:32 koyauni         I found the bloody things
09:32 mtj             koyauni, so your plesk did not install php properly
09:33 koyauni         they have a setting with run PHP as FastCGI thing
09:33 koyauni         I changed that to Apache mode and it worked
09:33 mtj             yes, you dont have fast-cgi installed...
09:33 mtj             -> http://xuwarin.org/test/fcgi/test.html
09:33 koyauni         sorry guys to take you time
09:34 koyauni         http://www.names.co.uk/support/new/servers/1240-php_scripts_not_running_on_website_hosted_on_plesk.html
09:34 koyauni         that page saved me,
09:35 koyauni         so they have set up my server and put Plesk on Fastcgi without having FastCGI
09:36 koyauni         do I even need this
09:36 koyauni         http://davejamesmiller.com/blog/web-development/how-to-install-php-5-2-fastcgi-on-debian-6-0-squeeze
09:37 eythian         Not for koha you don't
09:37 eythian         beyond that, I don't know
09:38 mtj             koyauni, koha uses perl, not php
09:40 mtj             dear #koha, is anyone using a snazzy carousel thingy on their opac?
09:41 koyauni         I have installed that, I want to make sure that the server is working for all my projects before I point my domain to this new NS
09:41 mtj             ... a book carousel, that is
09:44 * mtj           sends the biblibre folk an email re: carousel
09:59 mtj             [off] i'm currently playing with a carousel -> http://head.kohaaloha.com/
10:00 mtj             ... but i would like to see some other examples, for improvements & ideas
10:04 eythian         When you click left, it moves to the right which is confusing initially
10:04 eythian         also should be mouse draggable :)
10:08 mtj             yeah, i agree re: left/right
10:09 mtj             ... mouse stuff in version 2 :)
10:11 mtj             this carousel is quite nice too -> http://www.jacksasylum.eu/ContentFlow/download.php
11:02 francharb       mtj, I emailed you back on the carousel thing! ;)
11:02 francharb_lunch now, time for lunch!
11:09 mib_pzwneg      Has anyone noticed LDAP auth seems to stop when upgraded from 3.6.x to 3.8? Or is there a subtle change in the config I am missing!?
11:13 jcamins         mib_pzwneg: I don't really know anything about LDAP, but did you look at the blog post on ByWater's blog about configuring LDAP?
11:15 mib_pzwneg      jcamins: No, I will take a look. I had it configured fine on 3.6 though, so I thought if there was some substantial changes it would have been in the release notes for 3.8 and there is nothing.
11:16 jcamins         I am not aware of any changes, but I use 3.6, and don't use LDAP.
11:17 jcamins         Hm. There don't appear to be any further changes to the LDAP code.
11:19 eythian         I've done a 3.4 to 3.8 upgrade, and LDAP didn't break.
11:19 mib_pzwneg      Thanks jcamins. The blog doesn't offer me anything I didn't know - If I switch on debug in the Net::LDAP class I can see the binding correctly, and even the user's (trying to login) attributes get logged fine, just fails to login to Koha!
11:20 jcamins         What version of 3.8?
11:21 mib_pzwneg      I just pulled the latest stable from koha-community - one second I will get the exact version
11:22 mib_pzwneg      3.08.03
11:22 jcamins         Okay, that's a good version to be using.
11:22 jcamins         eythian: how's Konstanz?
11:23 eythian         It's good. Today is getting better now that the rain stopped, too.
11:25 mtj             heya francharb_lunch , thanks for the reply
11:25 mtj             my carousel is using -> http://www.professorcloud.com/mainsite/carousel.htm
11:26 mtj             (which is the same as koha.mediathequeouestprovence.fr, afaik)
11:45 clrh            dear develppers, in wich debian version do you program ?
11:45 clrh            wheezy ?
11:45 wahanui         hmmm... wheezy is testing
11:45 mtj             ... ldap problem looked like a problem worthy of a bug report :/
11:45 clrh            squeeze?
11:45 wahanui         squeeze is 3.2.x
11:45 clrh            squeeze is 6.0
11:46 mtj             clrh - the stable version of debian :)
11:46 mtj             ... always
11:50 eythian         clrh: mostly squeeze, but I tend to build against unstable so I have advanced warning of things changing.
11:50 eythian         no wahanui, squeeze is 6.0
11:50 wahanui         okay, eythian.
11:51 clrh            ok eythian thanks
11:51 clrh            I hope your last too wekks at Marseille were cool too :)
11:51 clrh            I didn't tell you goodbye!
11:52 eythian         Yeah, it was good :)
11:52 eythian         No, I think I you got back the work day after I finished.
11:52 jcamins         I use Squeeze.
11:58 mtj             but, its great to know people like eythian++ are testing koha on debian-testing, for the rest of us :)
12:04 mtj             woah, awesome icons -> http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/#examples
12:05 mtj             yes please :)

12:25 mtj             jcamins, aah ok - sounds like we need to bump Koha to gpl3+ to use those fonts/icons...
12:28 mtj             ftw, ive recently discovered some very interesting svg/vector icons too -> http://raphaeljs.com/icons

13:43 datadoctor      I'm looking at the Tools > Notices editor - looks like it is much easier to edit the quick slip and print slip.
13:45 datadoctor      You can add your branch information, biblio and biblioitem information (like MARC info), borrower, news and issue information to the quick slip, print slip, etc.
13:49 datadoctor      I am wondering how easy it would be to add renewal information and item replacement price, as they are not in the list. Are we limited to the values that appear in the list?
13:50 datadoctor      Tools > Notices > Edit Quickslip (Modify Notice)
13:54 mtj             you might need to modify the sql to pull that info from other tables ( like 'reserves' table )
13:55 datadoctor      Thanks. I will check that. Reserves might give me current holds.
13:55 mtj             rep-price should be currently available, not sure about renewal info
13:56 datadoctor      Price looks easier. We currently total the replacement prices on our quickslip, and inform the patron about how much they have saved by using the library.
13:56 datadoctor      Hoping to implement that on 3.8 as well.
13:58 datadoctor      For renewals, we can compare date issued with current date, and cross-check with remaining renewals. I think that will isolate today's renewals.
13:59 datadoctor      If I can't deliver it through the Notices editor for the quickslip, I can probably pull the information from mysql and deliver it through the template.
13:59 datadoctor      I'm thinking that's moremember-receipt.tt or printslip.tt...
14:00 datadoctor      Although a lot of the information comes from Members.pm.
14:11 pastebot        "nengard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "looking for report help - is this possible? how would I get just the numbers from the isbn field?" (4 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/111
14:23 eythian         http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html <-- nengard, there may be something here that helps
14:24 eythian         (sorry, that answer is a bit RTFM-y, but it's all I got right now :)
14:24 nengard         I love the mysql manual :)
14:24 nengard         and did look there, but I think this needs regex and no manual will ever help me understand that :) hehe
14:26 eythian         oh, I understand regexes. If you just want the part up-to the space: s/^([^ ]*) .*$/$1/
14:27 oleonard        Hey, watch your language!
14:28 eythian         I don't think mysql regexes can do this
14:29 eythian         they seem to be for truthiness of matching, or used as LIKE
14:29 datadoctor      We are using regex to parse the last renewed date and the current date for comparison, converting to a date in the format: 20120816
14:29 eythian         datadoctor: in SQL?
14:29 datadoctor      In PERL
14:29 datadoctor      Sorry, mixing my metaphors
14:29 eythian         Yeah, this case needs SQL.
14:30 eythian         nengard: I think SUBSTRING_INDEX may be helpful
14:31 nengard         okay i'll take a look
14:31 eythian         it'll let you grab everything before the space, anyway.
14:32 eythian         as for applying the dates, I'm not sure. Probably group by the sanitised ISBN and take the max of the dates. Then test that.
14:32 eythian         That might just work.
14:32 nengard         thanks! I'll see what I cam come up with - the dates part I can do
14:32 nengard         she wants the date added
14:32 nengard         that's another field
14:34 eythian         yeah, so something like select [fix up isbn] as isbn, count(*) as count, max(date_added) as max_date where max_date > <<limit>> group by isbn;
14:34 eythian         with the appropriate from and joins and stuff
14:34 eythian         Not sure that'll work, but it might.
14:35 datadoctor      Would SELECT SUBSTRING be useful?
14:35 datadoctor      for trimming the suffix out
14:35 datadoctor      Oh, I see that's covered by the SUBSTRING INDEX
14:39 pastebot        "nengard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "resulting report" (5 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/112
14:39 nengard         eythian, okay so this worked ? but you're right - adding the date is hard
14:39 nengard         where does WHERE go when there is a HAVING
14:40 nengard         something like WHERE b.datecreated between '2011-01-01' and '2012-01-10'
14:42 eythian         hmm, I don't know, I've not used HAVING
14:42 nengard         sekjal taught me about HAVING
14:42 gmcharlt        nengard: SELECT ... GROUP BY ... HAVING
14:43 nengard         and can i put WHERE in there?
14:43 gmcharlt        the where clause is optional, but if you need it...
14:43 gmcharlt        SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ... GROUP BY ... HAVING
14:43 nengard         oh!
14:43 nengard         okay

15:14 wajasu          if i want to run a single unit test, does anyone know how i would do that?
15:16 gmcharlt        wahanui: prove t/Foo.t
15:16 wahanui         gmcharlt: i'm not following you...
15:16 gmcharlt        er,
15:17 gmcharlt        wajasu: prove t/Foo.t
15:17 gmcharlt        ;)
15:17 wajasu          here goes.
15:17 wajasu          do i have to run perl Makefile first?
15:18 gmcharlt        generally speaking, no
15:19 wajasu          trying prove t/db_dependent/Search.t  ...
15:21 gmcharlt        wajasu: db_dependent tests require a little more setup
15:21 gmcharlt        in particular, KOHA_CONF would have to be set, pointing to a database with the sample data loaded
15:21 gmcharlt        and some of the non-DB-dependent tests may want to point to the stock koha-conf.xml template, e.g.
15:22 wajasu          i'm trying to test bug 8649

15:30 wajasu          it ran will some failures, i'll fool with it a bit and wait until jcamins shows up

15:43 jcamins         Someone looking for me?
15:43 jcamins         Ah, wajasu.
15:43 jcamins         wajasu++
15:43 jcamins         Actually, t/db_dependent/Search.t does not require a working database.
15:44 jcamins         It just requires MySQL.
15:44 jcamins         wajasu: what failed?

15:51 jcamins         Ahh... everything.
15:52 francharb       see you!
15:52 jcamins         Okay, it looks like it's searching your Zebra server and not the test's.
15:53 wajasu          jcamins: the first time i ran it i had less tests, then i only installed DBD::Mock and you see those results in paste
15:53 jcamins         Do you have Test::MockModule?
15:54 jcamins         Could you paste the output of perl t/db_dependent/Search.t?
15:54 wajasu          yes. koha_perl_deps reports 0.05
15:55 wajasu          ok i'll do that
15:55 jcamins         I suspect I probably missed a file or two.
15:55 jcamins         I shall delete my data directory and check it out again.
15:56 jcamins         No, it's not that. All the files exist.
15:56 wajasu          you saw my git commands.   do i need to do a git pull or fetch/merge?
15:56 jcamins         No, that looked right to me.

16:00 jcamins         Hrm.
16:02 jcamins         So why would the test be connecting to the wrong Zebra server?
16:02 jcamins         Do you have anything in t/db_dependent/data/zebra.log?
16:03 wajasu          empty
16:04 jcamins         Okay, so set_context isn't working.
16:04 jcamins         Oh.
16:04 jcamins         Geez.
16:04 jcamins         This is embarrassing.
16:04 gmcharlt        jcamins: I suspect that using set_context() and mocking the methods needs to be done before use_ok('C4::Seaarch')
16:04 gmcharlt        plus what you just noticed ;)
16:04 jcamins         gmcharlt: nah, I think the problem is the whole "jcamins" in the path name.
16:06 gmcharlt        jcamins: out of curiosity, what's your platform? I'm not entirely sure that the compiled zebra indexes are portable, at least to the box I've been using
16:06 jcamins         wajasu: okay, do a git pull and try again.
16:06 jcamins         gmcharlt: Debian...
16:06 wahanui         debian is what most people use and there are good manuals and even packages for that
16:07 gmcharlt        jcamins: right, but what architecture?
16:07 jcamins         I'm trying to figure that out.
16:07 gmcharlt        uname -a
16:07 jcamins         Thanks.
16:07 jcamins         i686
16:08 jcamins         So I need to do the indexing, too.
16:08 jcamins         Okay, we can do that.
16:08 gmcharlt        yeah
16:08 gmcharlt        (box I'm using for testing is x86_64)

16:08 jcamins         Well... that's not an improvement.
16:08 jcamins         Are you on x86_64?
16:09 jcamins         'Cause apparently that's going to be an issue.
16:09 wajasu          i'm on x86_64 deb
16:09 jcamins         Right. Guess I'd better change the patch to reindex, too.
16:09 jcamins         This might take a little bit...
16:09 * jcamins       sighs.
16:09 jcamins         I knew it was too easy.
16:10 gmcharlt        jcamins: well, I think you're very close
16:10 wajasu          I'm grabbing lunch then later you let me know and I'll pull and try again.
16:11 jcamins         gmcharlt: I think I can probably use rebuild_zebra -k, use the export in the test, and then index that directly with zebidx.
16:11 jcamins         I hope.
16:12 jcamins         Mocking the data in rebuild_zebra.pl would be... not fun.
16:12 gmcharlt        jcamins: that should be close enough -- besides, it will be handy to have the actual MARC file(s) anyway
16:12 gmcharlt        not to be too much of a pain, but are the records CC0 or the like?
16:13 jcamins         They're the sample records from wizzyrea.
16:13 gmcharlt        ok
16:14 jcamins         Maybe we need a "sample data generator," which takes a bunch of records, and adds a bunch of items to them.
16:15 * jcamins       does not volunteer to write it.
16:16 gmcharlt        jcamins: could you do me a favor, grab the snippet of C from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1024951/does-my-amd-based-machine-use-little-endian-or-big-endian
16:16 gmcharlt        then do gcc test.c; ./a.out
16:16 jcamins         Sure.
16:17 jcamins         little-endian.
16:18 jcamins         How could an x86 machine be big-endian?
16:18 gmcharlt        my amd64 is also little endian
16:19 wajasu          i ran it in my koha debian VM and it said little-endian
16:20 wajasu          uname -a => Linux biblio 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:00:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
16:20 jcamins         gmcharlt: bet Zebra was implemented using int rather than long.
16:21 jcamins         I hate int.
16:22 jcamins         Actually, I guess they'd have to use size_t, if they support little endian systems.
16:22 gmcharlt        I attached an strace to the zebrasrv child process ... trying a search on my box causes it to die with a floating point exception
16:24 jcamins         wajasu: I'm going to have to rebase the branch.
16:25 jcamins         Well, I guess I could call it search_t2.
16:26 jcamins         Oh, darn.
16:26 jcamins         I forgot to do git rm.
16:27 jcamins         Fear not. regular expressions to the rescue.
16:29 * chris_n       bemoans spending ~8hours to write 12 lines of code

16:30 chris_n         yay!
16:30 jcamins         Wait.
16:30 chris_n         kf: its written in python
16:30 jcamins         I forgot to add the data.
16:30 chris_n         kf: pykota.com
16:30 chris_n         its print accounting backend for cups
16:31 chris_n         probably very useful to libraries and academic institutions
16:31 kf              oh interesting
16:31 wahanui         interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
16:31 kf              good this time :)
16:31 chris_n         jcamins: data is always important
16:32 jcamins         Also, it leaves .mf files.
16:33 jcamins         Wait... this is no good.
16:33 * jcamins       moves things between scripts.
16:36 jcamins         Wait...
16:36 jcamins         Drat.
16:38 jcamins         Great...
16:38 jcamins         Now the test doesn't work on my system either.
16:39 kf              oh no, even 25
16:40 jcamins         Yay!
16:40 jcamins         (regarding the registrations, not regarding the fact that Zebra hates me.
16:42 jcamins         Ah.

16:46 kf              ah, wrong window :)
16:52 jcamins         Yay!

16:53 jcamins         Note that it's a bit slower now.
16:57 gmcharlt        jcamins: do you have it on a branch as well?
16:57 jcamins         gmcharlt: I'll push it, one moment.

17:10 wajasu          yes
17:11 jcamins         Hm.
17:11 gmcharlt        jcamins: once I finish setting up a new repo, I have a follow up patch for you
17:11 jcamins         Same as the first run or same as the second?

17:52 jcamins         Ohhh.
17:53 jcamins         wajasu: kill all the Zebra processes running.
17:53 jcamins         Then try again.
17:53 wajasu          ok
17:53 jcamins         (you can restart Zebra after you've killed all the processes)
17:55 gmcharlt        also, I wonder why its trying to bind to port 9999 -- the koha-conf.xml generated by zebra_config.pl isn't uncommenting that out
17:55 gmcharlt        or in, as the case may be
17:55 wajasu          killed zebra.  now zebra log shows starting zebrasrv and entering event loop
17:56 jcamins         gmcharlt: that's a good point.
17:56 jcamins         wajasu: the log showed that only after you ran the test, right?
17:57 wajasu          it must have, what else would have started it.
17:57 jcamins         wajasu: nothing should, that's why I was checking that you hadn't manually started Zebra pointing at the log.

17:58 jcamins         wajasu: wait... I'm confused.
17:58 jcamins         That's the output you're getting?
17:58 jcamins         With part of the log in the middle?
17:59 wajasu          after the test, there is no zebra process running.  the zebra log doesn't show anything after :  [debug] Entering event loop.
17:59 gmcharlt        jcamins: I've seen that before with the log level change I ask him to make -- I think zebrasv is spitting some of that to stderr
17:59 jcamins         gmcharlt: oh, okay.
18:00 wajasu          he had me change it to "all"
18:00 jcamins         Right.
18:00 jcamins         I didn't realize that always printed to stderr.
18:01 gmcharlt        I think those are just before it opens its logfile
18:02 gmcharlt        wajasu: what are the contents of t/db_dependent/data/var/lib/zebradb/biblios/register on your system? (it should just contain a README file)
18:03 wajasu          yes, but its called READMEE  with two EEs
18:04 * gmcharlt      blinks
18:04 jcamins         Did I do that?
18:04 wajasu          no.
18:04 wajasu          my typo
18:05 wajasu          its there its fine.
18:05 gmcharlt        and no other files, right?
18:05 wajasu          nothing else
18:06 wajasu          all the other zebradb places are the same.
18:11 gmcharlt        wajasu: could you add the following line after the set_context() line, then rerun?
18:11 gmcharlt        diag($context->{'listen'}->{'biblioserver'}->{'content'});
18:14 jcamins         Wait a minute.
18:14 jcamins         wajasu: how do you have kohaclone mounted?

18:16 * jcamins       bets sshfs doesn't support special files.
18:16 wajasu          i'll pull it into the VM if you like.   or maybe i need a sshfs flag.
18:17 jcamins         Give it a try.
18:17 gmcharlt        jcamins: I think you have it -- I can't imagine a file socket working working over sshfs
18:17 jcamins         If that's the problem, I'll just modify the paths to use a temporary directory on /tmp
18:18 nengard         when using the marc export tool what encoding is it using? is it utf-8 by default?
18:18 jcamins         nengard: defaults to utf-8, yes.
18:18 cait            hi all
18:18 nengard         thank you
18:19 wajasu          i'm cloning my sshfs kohaclone mount to an inVM one,
18:21 jcamins         I guess this means I need to create the directories on the fly, too.
18:22 wajasu          All tests successful.
18:22 jcamins         Woohoo!
18:22 gmcharlt        yay
18:22 wajasu          you guys are tenacious!!!
18:22 * jcamins       isn't quite sure how gmcharlt caught it.
18:23 wajasu          it was all wajasu's fault :|
18:23 * jcamins       is on a white whale quest to rid the world of C4::Search and bring excellent searching to Koha.
18:23 wajasu          please, lets get it under /tmp or /var/tmp.  i like my sshfs
18:24 gmcharlt        jcamins: tempdir() from File::Temp would be a good choice, methinks

18:25 gmcharlt        actually, hang on a sec
18:25 jcamins         gmcharlt: that was my plan.
18:25 gmcharlt        jcamins: cool, I'll leave you to it
18:25 jcamins         If you have a better plan, though, I'm happy to change plans.
18:26 gmcharlt        jcamins: I have a patch coming in a minute
18:26 jcamins         Woohoo!
18:28 wajasu          another idea.  jcamins, you had an issue posting a large patch.   what if you tar gzipped it.  would it be smnaller an d work?
18:28 jcamins         wajasu: no, we'd still have socket problems.
18:29 wajasu          with bugzila?  thats the issue?
18:31 jcamins         No, the large patch wouldn't fix the socket issue you ran into.
18:40 wajasu          http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/10/increase-bugzilla-attachment-size-using-mysql-max_allowed_packet/
18:40 jcamins         wajasu: turns out that there was no reason for such a large patch anyway.
18:41 wajasu          i wondered why.
18:41 jcamins         wajasu: I was trying to eliminate the need to reindex every time you run the test suite.
18:41 jcamins         No dice.
18:42 wajasu          is that the initial delay before output?
18:42 jcamins         Yup.
18:43 jcamins         Well, there's a delay for installing files, then a much longer delay for indexing.
18:43 gmcharlt        jcamins: wajasu: I've pushed a follow up to my branch
18:45 wajasu          pulled it. it ran
18:45 gmcharlt        and from your sshfs clone, in particular?
18:45 wajasu          i see Name "DBI::errstr"  used only once: possible typo at t/db_dependent/Search.t line 37.
18:46 wajasu          whats up with that
18:46 jcamins         wajasu: I'm not sure, actually.
18:46 gmcharlt        just a minor warning
18:48 jcamins         Works great.
18:48 jcamins         gmcharlt++
18:49 gmcharlt        wajasu: jcamins: I've pushed to a new branch called bug8649_signed_off
18:49 gmcharlt        that includes a follow-up to quiet that warning
18:49 gmcharlt        also includes my signoffs
18:49 gmcharlt        wajasu: I'd appreciate it if you used that branch for generating your own signoffs
18:51 jcamins         Thanks!
18:52 gmcharlt        as far as the issue of dealing with patches that are too big to attach... I suggest just putting in a pull request instead
18:53 jcamins         I also do that for the overly complex patches like bug 2060.

18:53 gmcharlt        we could borrow an idea from the Evergreen project and set up a working Git repo that on git.k-c.org that anybody could push to
18:53 jcamins         Oooh.
18:53 jcamins         I like that idea.
18:53 gmcharlt        if folks would prefer to avoid too much scattering about on github or gitorious
18:54 jcamins         I don't mind having a dozen remotes, but it seems to me that would be helpful for developers who are newish, and maybe aren't 100% clear on setting up their own public repos.
18:55 wajasu          so you want me to pull from bug8649_signed_off ,  run passing tests, then signoff referring to gmchart's git repo branch?
18:56 gmcharlt        wajasu: almost -- add your signoffs to the commits, then push to a branch on one of your repos that the RM can get to
18:57 jcamins         wajasu: you sign off on each commit, then either push it to a public repo or attach the patches to the bugzilla bug.
18:58 wajasu          ok.  i'll try to push to the public repo.
18:59 jcamins         wajasu: do you have a public repo?
19:02 wajasu          test passed without warning. now i'll signoff
19:10 wajasu          no public repo.  can i push to you?
19:11 jcamins         wajasu: nah, best bet is to just attach to the bug, then.
19:11 jcamins         All the patches are small enough now.
19:20 mtj             wajasu, no public repo? just use github...
19:22 wajasu          jcamins: i switched to gmcharlts branch, ran tests fine.  when i git commit --amend  it just mentions  "quiet a variable use warning" so i think its just a followup?
19:22 wajasu          my format patch is 29 lines
19:22 jcamins         wajasu: you need to use git rebase -i to sign off on each one.
19:24 wajasu          here goes.

19:30 wajasu          i did a git log and see 5 commits.  will that mean i'll have 5 patches to attach to the bugzilla?

19:31 jcamins         wajasu: right.
19:31 jcamins         Sorry, didn't see the question earlier.
19:35 wajasu          I'm going to try http://stackoverflow.com/questions/616556/how-do-you-squash-commits-into-one-patch-with-git-format-patch
19:35 wajasu          if thats ok.
19:35 jcamins         We don't want to squash them all because gmcharlt wrote some of the patches.
19:36 wajasu          so you want them able to pick and choose?
19:36 jcamins         No, but it's important for history.
19:36 jcamins         Oh, you can use this: git format-patch master --stdout > my_new_patch.diff
19:37 rangi           Stealing authorship is bad mmmkay
19:38 jcamins         Also, squashing patches is one of rangi's pet peeves. :)
19:38 rangi           Yes yes it is
19:38 wajasu          i'm just trying to help the push master :)
19:39 wajasu          master pusher
19:40 rangi           Seriously tho history is important, and knowing who authored code too
19:40 rangi           For all sorts of legal reasons
19:40 wajasu          i won't squash.
19:40 rangi           Cool
19:41 rangi           Squashing a series from one person is different
19:41 rangi           But mixing gets messy

20:41 wajasu          rangi: after git amending each with [SIGNED-OFF] prefixing each 1st line, i ran format-patch -s origin/master and only the last one has has SIGNED-OFF in prefix.  is that OK?
20:42 rangi           as long as the they have the signoff in the patch the subject line doesnt really matter
20:42 wajasu          it also generated 6 patches instead of 5. so they also have [PATCH 1 of 6]  though i am only uploading 2-6.  is tht ok.
20:43 rangi           thats fine
20:43 rangi           you can turn that off by -N for future reference
20:43 wajasu          good to know.
