00:00 wizzyrea     oh it must be the rubbery squeaky kind
00:00 trea         it's an acquired taste for certain
00:01 jcamins      And I have not.
00:06 mtompset     sounds like yucky calamari (squid).
00:06 wizzyrea     i love calamari
00:06 wizzyrea     if your calamari is rubbery you've done it wrong.
00:06 trea         ^
00:07 jcamins      But even rubbery, calamari isn't this bad.
00:07 * wizzyrea   suspects you have gotten into really actually yucky seaweed sald
00:08 wizzyrea     some is honestly not bad.
00:08 eythian      http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/16/imitation-calamari-sliced-pig-rectum_n_2482063.html <-- wizzyrea, you probably shouldn't listen to This American Life then.
00:09 wizzyrea     mmmmmmmmm yummmy
00:10 wizzyrea     Thankfully, "This American Life" didn't uncover any anecdotes of bung-based bait-and-switch practices in America's restaurants.
00:10 jcamins      wizzyrea: I just took the seaweed I had and turned it into a salad.
00:10 jcamins      It was woefully unsuccessful.
00:10 wizzyrea     you have to appreciate any writing that can make "bung-based bait-and-switch" sound like legit journalism
00:10 wizzyrea     oh, yea, nori won't work
00:10 wizzyrea     in salad.
00:11 jcamins      This wasn't nori.
00:11 jcamins      It was awakami or something like that.
00:11 jcamins      Which is what's called for in seaweed salad.
00:12 wizzyrea     right yea that's the seaweed I was originally thinking of
00:20 dcook        Side note: what do you people think about using the 006 position of the Leader to differentiate between bibliographic and authority records?
00:20 dcook        Z39.50 searches need to take it into account, and I really don't feel like changing the database and redoing a bunch of subs, when it might be easier to just check what type of MARC record we're handling...
00:21 dcook        Authority records should always have a "z" character there, while bibliographic records use a bunch of codes other than "z" to distinguish their bibliographic type
00:22 jcamins      dcook: I'm not sure that'll work...
00:23 dcook        In theory, it should, but I'm not sure about in practice
00:23 jcamins      No, that's not what I question working.
00:24 dcook        I'm not sure I follow.
00:24 dcook        We retrieve a record, if it has a "z" in the 006 position of the leader, pass it to the results (for z39.50 authority searching)
00:24 dcook        If it doesn't, don't pass it into the results listing
00:24 dcook        Not very efficient, but..
00:25 dcook        Mm, that's marc21 specific though..
00:25 jcamins      But authorities and bibs need to be handled in completely different ways.
00:26 dcook        At some stage
00:26 jcamins      Right.
00:27 dcook        When you get your results back from the remote database, they're just raw MARC records
00:27 dcook        If they're checked immediately after retrieval, I'm not sure that there should be a problem
00:27 dcook        Well, there are potential problems, but that's where I could see it possibly working
00:27 jcamins      Hmm.
00:28 jcamins      I didn't understand what you meant.
00:28 jcamins      I thought you meant determining _after_ retrieval.
00:28 dcook        Fair enough. I could've been clearer :).
00:28 dcook        _after_?
00:28 jcamins      Right.
00:29 jcamins      So, we have the record in the reservoir.
00:29 dcook        Ahhhh, I think I follow you
00:29 dcook        I meant retrieving from the remote source. You meant retrieving from the reservoir?
00:29 jcamins      Right.
00:29 dcook        Mmm, k
00:29 dcook        Nope. Right away :). Still...I'm not sure if it's the best idea.
00:30 dcook        The issue is that I told a tester to just use the databases that said "authorities" in their name
00:30 dcook        And naturally they didn't
00:30 dcook        And tried to import a bib record as an authority record
00:31 dcook        I figuresuppose the most long-term efficient thing is to add another column to the z39.50servers table,
00:31 dcook        ack
00:32 dcook        That would require everyone to update their current z39.50 server info though..
00:32 dcook        I suppose the default could be "biblio" rather than "auth" and that could be done through updatedatabase.pl...
00:34 jcamins      Yeah, that's easy.
00:34 dcook        [off] Apparently the "buy" link for the Google Mini isn't working. Silly, Google.
00:35 ibeardslee   Am I a little bit slow reading scroll back about software patents?
00:37 jcamins      I didn't see that.
00:38 * dcook      shrugs

00:40 mtj          hi all
00:41 mtj          ibeardslee, that reads like a little bit of win, to me :)
00:41 dcook        Mhm
00:41 dcook        hey mtj
00:41 ibeardslee   mtj: very much so
00:42 dcook        While it's more "hardware" related, I seem to recall Apple having a patent on round corners...
00:42 * dcook      hopes his memory is faulty
00:42 dcook        Something about the pinch-zoom as well..
00:42 dcook        http://au.businessinsider.com/apple-ipad-design-patent-2012-11?op=1
00:43 dcook        Ah, pinch-to-zoom failed
00:44 dcook        Wait...or maybe not...

00:44 BobB         hi dcook
00:45 dcook        hey ya BobB
00:45 BobB         that patent announcement is awesome.
00:45 druthb       Hi, BobB !:)
00:45 BobB         Kiwi's kicking goals again.  Australia is far too close to Uncle Sam on these things
00:47 BobB         @wunder Sydney New South Wales Australia
00:47 huginn       BobB: Error: No such location could be found.
00:47 mtj          hmm, i have a pending patent on cone-shaped heads (in the cloud) , that may be affected by this new legislation :/
00:47 BobB         @wunder Sydney, Australia
00:47 huginn       BobB: The current temperature in Sydney, New South Wales is 20.0°C (10:30 AM EST on May 09, 2013). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 56%. Dew Point: 11.0°C. Pressure: 30.42 in 1030 hPa (Steady).
00:48 BobB         in mid May.  I'm getting worried about next summer  :)
00:48 dcook        I guess so, eh? It's been rather nice out
00:48 BobB         where is your office dcook?
00:49 BobB         ah, you're in Ultimo aren't you?
00:51 dcook        BobB: Sure am. Whereabouts are you folk?
00:53 BobB         We're in North Sydney
00:53 rangi        http://www.thebigidea.co.nz/work/jobs-opportunities/dance/130228-are-you-maui   <-- this is the kinda thing we do
00:53 BobB         Not far :)
00:54 dcook        Cool :). I was just up doing the Manly-Spit walk on the weekend, so I guess I would've been up near your neck of the woods near the end
00:55 BobB         you'd have passed through.  that's a nice walk.
00:55 dcook        rangi: That sounds really sweet
00:56 dcook        It's the first walk we've had time for in a while, but absolutely beautiful day for it on Sunday.
00:56 dcook        Like you said, can't believe it's May.
01:00 rangi        right, vala abstract submitted, with 1 day to spare
01:00 BobB         rangi ++
01:04 dcook        Wow...that's an early deadline.
01:04 dcook        I did a conference planning course last year though, so I can't blame them for wanting to have time..
01:41 dcook        I'm curious...what's the purpose of Koha.pm?
01:41 dcook        The sub "displayServers" is only used in it and a test
01:41 UbuntuUser   Question... I just installed Koha 3.8, upgraded to Koah 3.10 using apt-get.  Almost everything seems to work great.  But there appears to be a mismatch between the code and schema.  If I try to add a z39.50 server, it doesn't get added.  There's a field called description in the DB table, but the .pl file isn't providing a value.  Here's the error
01:41 UbuntuUser   log:  "z3950servers.pl: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Field 'description' doesn't have a default value at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/admin/z3950servers.pl line 133"
01:42 dcook        UbuntuUser: When you say that it seems to work great, what do you mean exactly?
01:42 dcook        Have you logged into the staff client yet?
01:42 UbuntuUser   I can fix this error easily enough by modifying z3950servers.pl, but it seems weird that I get an error like this so early.  I'm wondering if something may have gone wrong with the install.
01:42 UbuntuUser   I have logged into both the public and admin interfaces.
01:42 dcook        And you weren't prompted to update your database in the admin interface?
01:43 jcamins      UbuntuUser: I think you have to run `sudo koha-upgrade-schema instancename`
01:43 UbuntuUser   I haven't done anything yet.  First thing I was going to do is to catalog something, hence the desire to add US Congress z39.50 server.
01:43 rangi        dcook: he won't be, apt-get should have run that for him
01:43 rangi        but it wont hurt to run it again like jcamins suggests
01:43 UbuntuUser   apt-get did run the DB upgrades.  No errors logged.  everything looks good.
01:43 dcook        rangi: Learn more and more about Ubuntu/Debian installs every day. Sometimes I wonder why anyone would use anything but those OSs
01:43 rangi        so its 3.10.5 ?
01:44 UbuntuUser   I did have this same problem with the z39.50 DB table structure before upgrading to 3.10 though.  It was like that when I installed 3.8.
01:44 rangi        hmm
01:44 jcamins      Oh, if this is an old problem, upgrading isn't going to fix it.
01:44 dcook        Mhm
01:45 UbuntuUser   Is it a known problem?
01:45 jcamins      Nope.
01:45 jcamins      A problem with your installation, I think.
01:45 dcook        What 3.8 version were you using UbuntuUser?
01:45 dcook        From the sound of it, it does sound like a code issue rather than a DB issue
01:45 rangi        it could be either dcook
01:45 wizzyrea     or a missed database update
01:46 UbuntuUser   I was just checking the 3.8 version...unfortunately I don't know now  (It's too far back in my putty buffer...lost it)  I just installed it this past weekend though.
01:46 rangi        but its most likely code
01:46 wizzyrea     though, description in that table has been there for ages
01:46 rangi        `description` text NOT NULL, -- unused in Koha
01:46 rangi        yep
01:46 UbuntuUser   Honestly, I used oldstable by mistake
01:47 rangi        http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=history;f=admin/z3950servers.pl;h=92cc3e59f68315a34d4389e630b33b289e6484fd;hb=978d7a97323447ab4802a42cebb838cfef1a2845
01:47 rangi        there's been a few changes
01:47 rangi        (thats in 3.12)
01:47 UbuntuUser   I can paste the results of mysql's 'describe z309servers' if you want.
01:47 rangi        if its not null
01:47 rangi        tahts all i need to know
01:48 dcook        Wait...you said NOT NULL rangi...
01:48 dcook        My DB says it's default value is NULL
01:48 dcook        Hmm, but yep...also marked as not null
01:48 UbuntuUser   is the description column supposed to be there?
01:48 rangi        yes
01:48 UbuntuUser   Is the default value NULL?
01:48 rangi        no
01:49 dcook        rangi: Are you sure?
01:49 UbuntuUser   what is the default value?  ''?
01:49 rangi        its not null
01:49 UbuntuUser   In my DB, the default value is NULL and NULL is set to no.
01:49 dcook        same
01:49 rangi        that line i pasted is directly from the kohastructure.sql
01:49 UbuntuUser   in other words, default to NULL, but don't allow NULL
01:50 wizzyrea     interesting, 6554, wasn't that reverted?
01:50 rangi        yep
01:50 jcamins      wizzyrea: yes.
01:50 rangi        and had nothing to do with this either :)
01:50 wizzyrea     no I know
01:50 * wizzyrea   just notes it's presence in that file
01:50 rangi        the revert line is thenext line up
01:50 wizzyrea     er in the history
01:50 wizzyrea     facepalm.
01:50 UbuntuUser   but I just checked the latest git version of z3950servers.pl  ... line 132ish, nothing is set for 'default'
01:51 dcook        you mean description?
01:51 * dcook      is looking at that right now as well
01:51 UbuntuUser   yes, sorry.  "line 132ish, nothing is set for description"
01:52 dcook        So go to  /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/admin/z3950servers.pl and look at line 133
01:53 UbuntuUser   for the InsertInto, I have ""(host,port,db,userid,password,name,checked,rank,syntax,encoding,timeout) "  -- no "description"
01:53 dcook        Hmm, so maybe it is a DB issue after all
01:53 UbuntuUser   Like I said, I can add "description" and give it a value of ''  ... but this error makes me think that something went wrong.
01:54 dcook        Indeed
01:54 UbuntuUser   Keep in mind, this was actually a problem in the 3.8 install
01:54 UbuntuUser   What's the simplest way to generate a new database?  use the scripts to remove the site and add a new one?
01:55 rangi        don't do that
01:56 UbuntuUser   I could.  I don't have any data in my site yet.  I just installed it a couple of days ago.
01:56 rangi        yeah but that wont change anything
01:56 rangi        i pasted the line from kohastructure.sql its set to not null
01:56 rangi        you recreate it, will be exactly the same
01:57 dcook        rangi: Why's that?
01:57 dcook        If they created an instance of 3.8.x
01:57 rangi        because it says to make it not null
01:57 rangi        and you said it says its not null
01:58 dcook        I don't have a database that was made in 3.8 either
01:58 dcook        Mine are all upgraded from previous versions
01:58 UbuntuUser   Yes, my copy of kohastructure.sql matches rangi's assessment.  A new DB would be the same as the one I had from the 3.8 upgrade
01:58 dcook        Admittedly, I don't know how a default value would be there, then not be there, then be there again
01:58 rangi        and that line has not changed sine 2011-08-26
01:59 dcook        Intriguing
01:59 jcamins      UbuntuUser: wait, I have an idea. What version of MySQL?
01:59 dcook        rangi: So what is the default value for `description` in your db?
02:00 UbuntuUser   latest version of MySQL...running on Windows Server 2012
02:00 jcamins      UbuntuUser: 5.5? 5.1? 5.0?
02:00 UbuntuUser   5.6.11
02:01 rangi        dcook: more importantly what does
02:01 UbuntuUser   5.6.11 MySQL Community Server
02:01 rangi        show create table z3950servers
02:01 rangi        tell you
02:01 rangi        `description` text NOT NULL,
02:01 rangi        that ?
02:01 wahanui      it has been said that that is a good idea.
02:01 dcook        Yeah, I'm looking at that
02:02 dcook        "If strict mode is not enabled, MySQL sets the column to the implicit default value for the column data type."
02:02 dcook        "If strict SQL mode is enabled, an error occurs for transactional tables and the statement is rolled back"
02:02 rangi        insert into z3950servers (host) values ('fish');
02:02 rangi        Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.07 sec)
02:02 rangi        works just fine
02:02 dcook        Right
02:02 rangi        i bet that query fails in 5.6.11
02:02 dcook        Mhm
02:02 rangi        i bet thats where jcamins is going
02:02 jcamins      Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
02:03 rangi        so its a bug to fix for new versions of mysql
02:03 UbuntuUser   Interesting, I didn't know about the modes.  Here's what my server's mode is set to:  STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
02:03 rangi        can you try that above query?
02:03 rangi        insert into z3950servers (host) values ('fish');
02:03 UbuntuUser   That's the result of "SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;"
02:04 rangi        if that fails (and it works on my mysql with no description) then yep its a bug that needs to be fixed for newer mysqls
02:04 UbuntuUser   mysql> insert into z3950servers (host) values ('fish');  ===> ERROR 1364 (HY000): Field 'description' doesn't have a default value
02:05 rangi        there you go then
02:05 jcamins      Yep, there it is.
02:05 rangi        its broken on 5.6.x
02:05 rangi        so you could send a patch to fix that, and you may well run into a couple more around the place
02:06 rangi        tail mysql-err or mysql.log or whatever for a while might not be a bad plan
02:06 rangi        2 choices
02:06 rangi        patch the .pl
02:06 UbuntuUser   I'm fairly certain there are other cases where this sort of this is problematic though.  Not just for adding a z39.50 server.
02:07 rangi        thats what i just said :)
02:07 wizzyrea     at the very least, file bugs for them :)
02:07 UbuntuUser   I'm curious then.  Would it be best if I downgraded my mysql server to 5.5?
02:07 wizzyrea     at bugs.koha-community.org
02:07 rangi        UbuntuUser: for production i would
02:07 UbuntuUser   Or, there are a lot of modes settings...  Any idea what I should set this to? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-sql-mode.html
02:07 rangi        however it would be great if you ran it like that in testing and filed bugs for any issues you notice in the mysql log
02:08 dcook        UbuntuUser: The info I gave you is also from 5.0. I'd listen to rangi ;)
02:08 UbuntuUser   ok.  well I really appreciate the help.
02:10 UbuntuUser   BTW, I've come on to this IRC channel twice...and there are multiple people active on this IRC channel.  ...I'm assuming this isn't your full time job.  Why do you do it?
02:10 jcamins      We like to help.
02:10 jcamins      With "like" being a relative term.
02:10 wizzyrea     Koha's fun
02:10 rangi        people give me stuff
02:10 rangi        *hint*
02:10 rangi        :-)
02:10 * wizzyrea   hugs rangi
02:10 wizzyrea     does that count?
02:10 dcook        hehe
02:10 rangi        hehe
02:11 dcook        UbuntuUser: I started coming here because I needed help
02:11 dcook        Well, I still need help
02:11 rangi        http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2008/08/06/write-free-software-and-people-will-send-you-peanut-butter/  <-- see
02:11 dcook        But now that I know more, I try to help out others when I can
02:11 dcook        Or test patches
02:11 UbuntuUser   Well, thanks again.  I'll see what happens with mysql 5.5
02:11 * jcamins    decides to get some sleep.
02:11 dcook        Basically giving back because people gave to me
02:11 jcamins      ^^ exactly
02:11 * wizzyrea   whispers file bugs on mysql 5.6
02:11 jcamins      I started out asking lots of dumb questions.
02:11 jcamins      And now I'm the Release Manager.
02:12 jcamins      Yikes.
02:12 jcamins      Good night, #koha.
02:12 rangi        cya jcamins
02:12 dcook        night, jcamins
02:12 jcamins      (P.S. there's a lesson in that: ask smart questions and you should be able to avoid becoming RM)
02:12 dcook        lol
02:15 dcook        Oh snap...
02:15 dcook        I didn't know you could initiate a commandline client from the MySQL query browser...
02:20 dcook        rangi: So why would 5.6.11 cause this error?
02:21 rangi        cos oracle are dicks?
02:21 dcook        At a glance, it looks like it's the STRICT_TRANS_TABLES sql mode which is causing the error
02:21 dcook        But that would happen in older versions too
02:21 rangi        but its not something we should do anyway, if somethings is set not null
02:21 rangi        we should give it a value
02:21 dcook        Agreed
02:21 rangi        or make it nullable
02:21 rangi        i lean to the former, since the column is currently not used
02:22 rangi        just alter the table
02:22 rangi        sorry the latter
02:22 rangi        fix the db definition
02:22 dcook        I was a bit confused for a second that
02:22 dcook        there *
02:22 dcook        Makes sense to me
02:22 dcook        Mind you...
02:22 dcook        I have need of a column in z3950servers...
02:23 dcook        Rather than adding one in, could I subvert it to my cause?
02:23 rangi        yeah rename it
02:23 dcook        i.e. fill it with a default value of "biblio" and allow people to change it to "auth" to denote authority databases
02:23 dcook        Hell, description isn't even a bad name for that column
02:23 rangi        id change the name
02:24 rangi        recordtype
02:24 rangi        or something
02:24 wahanui      something is, like, fishy
02:24 wizzyrea     type was what I was thinking
02:24 dcook        There already is a type apparently
02:24 dcook        Which is filled with "zed"
02:24 dcook        No idea what zed is for
02:24 rangi        z3950
02:24 dcook        Ah, I see
02:24 dcook        Vs opensearch
02:25 rangi        yup
02:25 dcook        recordtype could work
02:25 * rangi      heads off to get kids from school
02:26 dcook        ta rangi
02:26 dcook        Hmm, lunchtime..
02:26 wahanui      i think lunchtime is a terrible time for a meeting
02:26 dcook        Agreed, wahanui. Agreed.
02:28 wizzyrea     au zebra searches are author?
02:29 dcook        Depends on what is in...ccl.properties, I suppose
02:29 wizzyrea     right ok.
02:29 dcook        Yep, Author / 1003
02:30 wizzyrea     cool thx
02:30 wizzyrea     suppose I should have already known that.
02:31 dcook        Or I just spend way too much time looking at zebra config and bib-1 attributes :p
02:32 mtj          i just couldnt believe how much sugar was in jif peanut butter, the 1st time i ate it
02:33 dcook        Then records.abs will say which MARC tags belong to which index
02:34 dcook        And bib1.att maps the bib-1 attribute to the plaintext index label
02:34 mtj          … was a bizzare feeling to feel the crunch of the sugar crystals, when chewing
02:34 dcook        For grs1 indexing at least, me thinks..
02:34 * wizzyrea   hates jif.
02:34 dcook        mtj: lol
02:34 dcook        I can't say I've had it since...well maybe ever
02:34 dcook        Maybe as a kid
02:34 wizzyrea     it is gross.
02:34 dcook        Do t hey sell it outside the US?
02:35 wizzyrea     I hope not, it's an abomination
02:36 mtj          ive only had it once, but it sure made a lasting impression
02:37 mtj          i had some in the UK, i've never seen in NZ
02:56 dcook        Hmm, does anyone know of any current documentation on making patches that update the database?
02:56 dcook        http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Tutorial_for_Updating_Database_Files is marked as obsolete..
03:22 mtj          fwiw, the page is still pretty relevant
03:23 dcook        Seems like it. I'm just hoping I don't screw up too badly :p
03:23 mtj          … and no, i dont know any newer/better page that
03:58 mtompset     Though, mtj, with the patch I'm working on, I didn't use that if comparison. :)
03:59 dcook        Yeah, that's the thing I was wondering about...
03:59 dcook        I imagine the RM would do that
03:59 eythian      it's also not very nicely written.
04:00 eythian      (the page)
04:00 mtompset     The file in question has many "if"s to copy and paste from. :)
04:00 * dcook      is just curious how you get people to test your DB change without doing the final RM steps
04:00 dcook        Is it simply not using the If condition?
04:00 wizzyrea     you set the version number to xxx?
04:00 mtompset     They made a nice function to simplify the if.
04:00 eythian      they can tweak the value in there.
04:00 wizzyrea     for your update?
04:01 * wizzyrea   doens't know. always found that annoying.
04:01 mtompset     True enough. You just take a stab at the xxx value on the end.
04:01 * dcook      avoids touching the db for this reason
04:01 wizzyrea     same.
04:01 eythian      you put 'XXX' in there when you submit it.
04:01 eythian      and the RM does what's needed to make it make sense.
04:01 dcook        submit meaning post on bugzilla for testing?
04:01 eythian      yeah
04:01 dcook        Cool
04:01 wizzyrea     it should do something sort of sane with xxx in ther
04:01 wizzyrea     for the testers
04:01 mtompset     I didn't read the function code.
04:01 dcook        Makes sense, testing on master
04:02 mtompset     perhaps it handles the XXX case nicely.
04:02 cjh          wizzyrea: it does.
04:02 wizzyrea     XXX sorry
04:02 wizzyrea     i mean, I've never had an issue testing things with xxx in them
04:02 wizzyrea     you'd think we were talking about porn.
04:02 wizzyrea     :P
04:02 dcook        So I need to alter the db column from "description" to "recordtype"
04:02 eythian      I think they just don't run. For testing, I change that value.
04:02 eythian      We're not?
04:02 wizzyrea     kohaporn. hawt.
04:02 dcook        Ideally, it would be a good idea to change all existing values in that column to bibliographic as well
04:02 dcook        wizzyrea: oh you :p
04:03 mtompset     Is that books with their bindings and covers taken off? ;)
04:03 mtj          ah yes - i see why the page is obsolete now :)
04:03 wizzyrea     ooh la la
04:03 dcook        I suppose I could do an alter statement, then an update statement...
04:03 * dcook      just hopes that people are into the idea of z39.50 authority searching
04:03 dcook        mtj: Why's that?
04:03 mtj          the example block is outdated, too
04:03 mtompset     oooo...ooo... I think I am. :)
04:03 cjh          the xxx will always compare higher (as XXX becomes 999), but in SetVersion XXX will not set the version
04:04 wizzyrea     as an aside, this is rather humorous
04:04 wizzyrea     http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Og7iRm8wnIY/Thxkt5RIjKI/AAAAAAAAAIs/WUPOfWAljTY/s1600/Librarians.jpeg
04:04 cjh          I place XXX in the version number, bump up my kohaversion by .001, run the web installer and then bump my kohaversion back down again.
04:04 mtj          dcoo,k if ( CheckVersion($DBversion) ) {} is the new/improved test
04:05 mtj          not, if (C4::Context->preference("Version") < TransformToNum($DBversion)) {}
04:05 mtompset     That's the if function I was talking about, yes. :)
04:06 dcook        cjh: Why  bump it up then bump it back down?
04:06 mtompset     bump it up triggers the update.
04:06 mtompset     bump it back down so the commit doesn't include a changed kohaversion.pl
04:06 mtompset     (my guess)
04:06 dcook        I'm surprised that you would need to bump it to trigger it
04:06 cjh          dcook: koha only runs updatedatabase.pl if the database koha version is lower than that in kohaversion.pl
04:07 dcook        Interesting...
04:07 wahanui      interesting is, like, sometimes good and sometimes bad
04:07 eythian      [off] something something automatic upgrades
04:07 mtompset     [off] OH. YOU. DID-N'T!
04:07 cjh          dcook: and in this case I bump it down as XXX doesnt update the version and I dont wat to be trapped in an infinite upgrade loop
04:07 * wizzyrea   giggles
04:08 dcook        cjh: Couldn't you just manually run updatedatabase.pl?
04:08 mtompset     [off] Do you ever think Fairies Upgrading Koha Paul will come on IRC?
04:09 cjh          dcook: yeah, but I would have to set up the koha environment correctly, I find the web installer much quicker/cleaner (as it is also what the end-user will see when my upgrade applies)
04:10 wizzyrea     he did get on once
04:10 dcook        cjh: Fair enough. Hmm. So you just manually edit kohaversion.pl?
04:11 cjh          dcook: yeah
04:11 wizzyrea     why is it that I very rarely have to edit anything when I do a db update test
04:11 cjh          wizzyrea: you are *that* good at it.
04:11 wizzyrea     ... they all seem to work just fine without any mucking about?!
04:12 dcook        wizzyrea: Yeah, that's what I was thinking too
04:12 mtompset     Here, here... wizzyrea is just *that* good. :)
04:12 dcook        I've only tested a few patches that change the db but I've never changed my version...and I don't think it's been a problem
04:13 cjh          it may have been that the branch you checked out (master) had a higher kohaversion.pl than the db you were testing on?
04:13 dcook        Hmm
04:13 mtompset     wizzyrea?
04:13 wahanui      wizzyrea is a Cylon, and they all have plans.
04:13 cjh          heh
04:14 wizzyrea     I have a git command that updates to latest master every time I checkout a branch for qa
04:14 * dcook      was out at Manly the other day, and saw a mention of "Cylon tea" on the menu
04:14 wizzyrea     ceylon
04:14 wizzyrea     :)
04:14 dcook        I know ;)
04:14 dcook        I couldn't help but giggle though
04:14 wizzyrea     MMM robot tea.
04:14 * dcook      recently re-watched the pilot with his partner
04:14 wizzyrea     is that like robot rock, because that's really what I want.
04:14 cjh          they are quite humanoid though, so it could taste ok
04:14 dcook        2.5+ hours of spacey goodness
04:14 mtompset     nanobots bursting with flavour. :P
04:14 wizzyrea     ew, human tea
04:14 cjh          lol
04:15 wizzyrea     gross.
04:15 cjh          well that escalated quickly.
04:15 dcook        yep
04:15 dcook        I guess BSG and robots trumps database talk
04:15 dcook        Who knew?
04:15 wizzyrea     actually, if I am *always* at current master
04:15 wizzyrea     and the db updates have xxx in them
04:15 mtompset     Well, I need to get sleep. :)
04:15 dcook        But when does the version number in the DB change?
04:15 dcook        Only when doing make upgrade?
04:16 mtompset     Have a great day (24 hour period). :)
04:16 dcook        later mtompset
04:16 wizzyrea     when the RM pushes it with the right number
04:16 cjh          whenever a db upgrade goes through for a non XXX, the the db version is updated.
04:16 dcook        Hmm
04:16 cjh          wizzyrea: yeah, then kohaversion is changed to match it.
04:16 dcook        If that's the case...
04:17 dcook        Why would you have a higher kohaversion.pl than your DB version?
04:17 dcook        They would be synced with the last upgrade
04:17 dcook        And they wouldn't change unless triggered by Factor X
04:17 dcook        [off] We Canadians are a bother about versions...
04:17 cjh          if you had already done all the db upgrades on master, I am not sure what triggers teh upgrade (unless you do it manually or bump the version)
04:17 mtompset     Oh, I just thought of something related to the DB upgrades.
04:17 mtompset     http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/System_Preferences
04:18 mtompset     Though, it's if condition needs updating. :)
04:18 dcook        Yeah, I was thinking that too, mtompset
04:18 dcook        That's the only time I've changed the db in the past
04:18 dcook        Hmm
04:19 dcook        So when the RM changes the XXX to the actual number...they also change Kohaversion.pl?
04:19 cjh          yes
04:19 mtompset     Really. I'm leaving. Have a great day.
04:19 dcook        Hence why when you fetch/pull, that's what triggers the update
04:19 wizzyrea     later :)
04:19 dcook        Wow, that English barely made sense...
04:19 dcook        I follow you now
04:19 dcook        Hmm, cool
04:19 dcook        Thanks for the info, cjh :)
04:22 cjh          although wizzyrea having never modified it worried me, time to test!
04:24 mtj          hmm, but surely the best way to determine koha's version number, is to simply grep an assumed string in the install log?
04:25 mtj          …or am i missing something here?
04:26 dcook        In any case, I'm going to grab a late lunch. Thanks again cjh, mtj, wizzyrea. You're all stars!
04:26 cjh          enjoy :)
04:26 dcook        Thanks :)
04:26 cjh          mtj: we arent tryingto check the version of koha but to understand what trigger the db upgrades
04:27 cjh          mtj: and yeah, install log or check for 'Version' in the system pref table
04:27 eythian      mtj: that is not the best way, the best way is to look in kohaversion.pl
04:27 eythian      one is an install log, the other actual code.
04:28 mtj          lol, touche :D
04:28 cjh          is the install log just set from the ouput of updatedatabase.pl?
04:28 eythian      no
04:28 eythian      the install log is produced by the makefile
04:29 cjh          oh, so it could be very wrong.
04:29 eythian      the makefile gets it from kohaversion.pl
04:29 eythian      well, if you do an install without running the makefile, it won't reflect reality at all.
04:29 eythian      my dev install claims to be 3.01.something
04:29 cjh          heh
04:29 eythian      (in the install log)
04:30 cjh          I have never manually ran make in koha, only ever when building packages.
04:35 mtj          so, yeah… grepping for an old version string in your install-log, is a really flawed way to determine your curent version
04:59 eythian      http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20130508130401587 <-- It's baaaaack!
05:16 dcook        IE--
05:17 eythian      $ iexplorer
05:17 eythian      iexplorer: opdracht niet gevonden
05:17 eythian      doesn't work at all for me
05:18 dcook        :p
05:19 dcook        eythian: I've been meaning to ask you...are you originally German, German ancestry, just interested in German, ...?
05:19 mtj          hmm, this i didnt know.. -> http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20040728010339764
05:20 eythian      dcook: no. That's not German, and cait would probably be horrified to hear you say that :)
05:20 dcook        Dutch?
05:20 eythian      ja
05:21 dcook        A Dutch girl once told me that Germans thought of Dutch as funny sounding German :p
05:21 eythian      yep :) they seem to have taken a lot of the ridiculousness out of German.
05:22 eythian      like a brazillion different declensions.
05:24 * dcook      is googling fiercely
05:25 dcook        I think I follow
05:25 dcook        In that case...
05:25 dcook        eythian: I've been meaning to ask you...are you originally Dutch, Dutch ancestry, just interested in Dutch, ...?
05:25 dcook        ;)
05:25 dcook        IE--
05:25 dcook        I open the same page in different tabs and they're loaded with different document modes. Thanks, IE...
05:26 eythian      I was going to move there some years ago, until the financial crisis scuppered work visas. So I learnt it before I was to go, and then didn't, so I run my computers etc. in it to reduce the amount of atrophy from non-use.
05:26 dcook        Nice one
05:27 dcook        I signed up to the Koha-Fr newsletters for that reason, but...never manage to read them all :p
05:27 eythian      heh
05:27 dcook        The plan was to spend about 4-8 months in France, but it was 8 days in the end
05:27 dcook        Few days in Switzerland and Belgium as well (which were both lovely), but...
05:28 eythian      I spent a month there last year, I was almost beginning to get a little bit of a feel for it by the end, but it was still hard work.
05:28 dcook        French?
05:28 wahanui      French are not.
05:28 eythian      (the language, that is)
05:28 eythian      yeah, France
05:28 dcook        Mmm, right. Paul did say that was last year..
05:28 eythian      yeah
05:28 dcook        I would love to go at some point
05:29 eythian      I recommend summer.
05:29 eythian      it was nice and warm
05:29 dcook        Did you stay down in Marseille or did you get out and adventure elsewhere as well?
05:30 eythian      Mostly Marseille, though I did get out to around Nemes etc. a bit.
05:30 eythian      but there was a lot of other travelling in the whole trip anyway, so I did get my fill over all.
05:31 dcook        How long were you gone for?
05:31 eythian      3.5 months
05:33 dcook        Wow...that must've been great
05:33 eythian      it was pretty good :)
05:33 dcook        Although I could understand travel fatigue by the end
05:33 dcook        My last Europe trip was about 3 months as well
05:33 eythian      well, it was OK as I was mostly spending a sizable amount of time in each place.
05:34 eythian      so there was time to get familar with an area.
05:34 dcook        Where all did you end up going?
05:35 eythian      Edinburgh (for kohacon), Brighton, Marseille, Konstanz, and then floated around the Netherlands for 3 weeks, mostly in Oosterhout and Den Haag.
05:36 dcook        Sounds amazing. Immensely jealous :)
05:37 eythian      it was a good time, and I got to see the weather back home being terrible, as I was sitting working from a back yard :)
05:38 dcook        hehe
05:38 dcook        I think the prolonged autumn here is making it easier to handle all the beautiful photos I'm seeing of Canadian summer right now
05:38 dcook        I should get in a visit after Kohacon, but October isn't quite the same as May-August
05:44 eythian      yeah, we've just started to get winteryness really hitting here in the past week or two.
05:49 dcook        I'm sure it's on the way over here then too
05:49 dcook        (Life without Javascript is...not nice)

14:33 gmcharlt     oleonard: on the face of it, I'd want there to be more visible filtering options
14:33 gmcharlt     hiding closed baskets is a reasonable default, but I can think of a lot of circumstances where acq staff need to delve into older issues

14:33 jcamins      Agreed.
14:44 * jcamins    curses the way we save records.
14:44 oleonard     Just slip a little patch in there before 3.12 jcamins
14:44 jcamins      oleonard: heh.
14:45 jcamins      Seriously... it's horrifying.
14:46 jcamins      At its most basic, saving a record is sticking a blog into the database.
14:46 jcamins      No matter what type of record it is.
14:47 jcamins      Unfortunately, somewhere along the line saving an authority and saving a bib were turned into wildly different operations.
14:48 jcamins      Wildly.
14:50 jcamins      I think I need a higher alcohol content in my tea.

15:23 khall        jcamins, I'm working on an extension to the library groups feature. I'm talked to nicole and she tells me the Properties groups do absolutely nothing, and haven't since their introduction in 3.0. Should I remove them while I'm in there?
15:23 khall        apparently they were part of a planned feature that never came to fruition
15:25 jcamins      khall: that'd be gmcharlt's call, but I'd certainly vote for "yes."
15:26 jcamins      No point in cluttering the code with features that don't even exist.
15:26 gmcharlt     khall: gut reacton, yes, they can go away
15:26 * druthb     suggests adding http://theonion.github.io/fartscroll.js/
15:26 oleonard     *cough*  OpacAllowSharingPrivateLists  *cough*
15:26 khall        jcamins, gmcharlt: will do, thanks!
15:27 khall        oleonard needs a cough drop or something ; )
15:27 jcamins      oleonard: except that's a new feature that marcelr is in the process of submitting.
15:28 druthb       jcamins, can my new feature make it into 3.12?  PLEEEEEEase?
15:28 jcamins      In fact, there's a patch on that path somewhere waiting to be signed off, I think.
15:28 jcamins      druthb: no.
15:28 oleonard     jcamins: I am grumpy about that preference going in so long before the actual feature has been released.
15:28 * druthb     pouts
15:29 jcamins      oleonard: I have to side with marcelr on that.
15:29 jcamins      The last time he submitted an entire feature, it was blocked and the result was that an incredibly cool feature is never going to go in at all.
15:30 oleonard     Okay, I defer to your judgement in that case
15:32 jcamins      Since there are not going to be any further string changes in 3.12, of course, I should point out that gmcharlt's judgement is the one that matters.

16:20 cait         yep
16:20 cait         it's like this in 3.6
16:20 cait         you only see orders you are not done with
16:20 cait         and also controlled by a pref only those you did, your branch did or all
16:21 oleonard     That changes the story then. Fix regression first, later add the link to see all.
16:25 cait         i am not sure when it changed tho :( as we are pretty behind with updating
16:26 cait         but there are similar older reports in bugzilal I think
17:57 * magnuse    sets his aim on those 1208 fuzzy strings
18:08 magnuse      a bit unfortunate that we now use "plugin" for two widely different things?
18:09 jcamins      magnuse: I don't know, notionally they're the same type of thing.
18:10 magnuse      except the there is no way to actually "plug in" the old plugins? ;-)
18:11 magnuse      you can choose to enable them, but you can't plug in a new one...
18:11 jcamins      Sure there is. Just choose them from a dropdown list.
18:11 jcamins      You can add as many as you want.
18:11 magnuse      yeah, but the dropdown is prett fixed
18:11 jcamins      Not really. Just create a new file and your new value builder will show up.
18:11 jcamins      If you're using Plack, you probably have to restart Plack.
18:12 magnuse      guess our notions are different, then ;-)
18:12 jcamins      How's that not pluggable?
18:15 magnuse      to me there is a big difference between having a system for uploading "code" through the web ui on the one hand and saying "you can add any file you like to this folder" on the other
18:16 jcamins      Ah.
18:16 jcamins      I see.
18:17 jcamins      That's true.
18:17 jcamins      Since I'm still not entirely sold on the uploading, that's not part of my definition of what's important about plugins.
18:18 oleonard     For better or worse that's part of the common definition of plugins
18:19 jcamins      oleonard: and on heavily used systems like Wordpress, that makes sense to me.
18:19 oleonard     I don't say that as an argument for being able to upload, just to point out what users expectations of the definition will be
18:27 * chris_n    has never really been good a pinning a definition on user expectations in any context
18:28 chris_n      seems to be a moving target
18:34 oleonard     I've always though the cataloging "plugins" were poorly named because of the end user's inability to plug anything in.

23:00 * wizzyrea   wonders if it matters if it's streaky bacon or shoulder bacon

23:01 druthb       :)
23:15 jcamins      Yum, macaroons! I need to make some.

23:17 wizzyrea     macaroons or macarons
23:17 * wizzyrea   only recently learned these were different things
23:17 jcamins      Macaroon.
23:30 dcook        morning #koha
23:31 dcook        Nice writeup in ALIA's Incite by Kathryn Greenhill titled "RFPS and FOSS: It's all about collaboration"
23:32 rangi        they stuck it in opinion tho eh?
23:32 dcook        Mmm, yeah
23:32 rangi        orignally it wasn't and was going to include an interview with a couple of koha libraries
23:32 dcook        :o
23:32 dcook        Any idea what changed?
23:33 rangi        is their paid advertising in it? :)
23:33 rangi        there even
23:33 rangi        i totally would not put it past being 'oh we dont want to offend the proprietary scummy vendors who give us money' ;-)
23:33 rangi        but thats just me being cynical after 14 years around the library world :)
23:34 rangi        they didnt tell kathryn why they moved it
23:34 rangi        just that they were going to
23:35 dcook        :/
23:36 dcook        It's too bad Koha only gets mentioned once in Edmund's write-up as well
23:36 dcook        I suppose it is a day in the life of though
23:36 dcook        A day in the life of me is far more Koha intensive :p
23:40 dcook        "Without vendor sponsorship and exhibition booths, conference attendeance would be out of reach for most delegates"
23:40 dcook        "Without advertising, we wouldn't be able to publish INCITE"
23:40 rangi        there ya go :)
23:42 dcook        "As commercial enterprises, library vendors are very good at gathering data and intelligence about the sector, and generous about sharing, where it doesn't give away trade secrets"
23:42 dcook        So...they're not generous about sharing...
23:42 dcook        I mean...we fall into the commercial enterprise camp too
23:42 rangi        yep
23:42 rangi        we dont have trade secrets tho
23:42 dcook        Exactly
23:43 dcook        I posted my z39.50 authority search on Bugzilla before I even started a backport for our systems
23:43 jcamins      "where it doesn't give away trade secrets"?
23:43 dcook        More over, what trade secrets?
23:43 dcook        Librarians can be intimidated by jargon and sometimes think the higher the cost, the better the product?
23:44 rangi        the only thing would be what we charge perhaps?
23:44 dcook        Mmm, that's true
23:44 rangi        but even that
23:44 wahanui      even that is a little rudimentary
23:44 rangi        i dont think we force clients to sign an NDA so they cant tell people what stuff cost
23:45 rangi        so thats only a semi secret
23:45 wizzyrea     more of a "you would have to ask us" thing
23:46 dcook        I imagine cost is also fairly fluid and depends on different factors
23:46 rangi        yep
23:49 dcook        This reminds me of why I want to keep promoting FOSS amongst all the library folk I know...
23:49 dcook        I like Nell Hirst's comments about the future being human.
23:50 dcook        I love technology but some things you really do want done in person. We do (often) crave social contact.
23:50 dcook        Mind you, I wonder if libraries are one of those things...
23:50 dcook        I get the majority of my groceries delivered now. I love not having to go to the grocery store to buy food.
