23:59 wizzyrea      is that the exact folks in that picture can do incredibly interesting things that if they were to try to do it on a computer, they'd be totally flummoxed.
23:59 wizzyrea      what I love about mobile phones
23:59 wizzyrea      lol, I've been noticing this exact thing on the bus
23:58 eythian       http://imgur.com/pjxFiIa
23:56 druthb        If it conflicts with his wilder standards, yes.
23:55 mtompset      when you say rejects, do you mean if you code to that standard, your code sucks and is rejected?
23:53 druthb        That's been the frustrating part of my new gig.  I'm trying to figure out stuff from the scary-smart wunderkind who wrote cPanel, and who deliberately *rejects* PBP as too simplistic.
23:52 druthb        But it's a good thing, for exactly that reason.
23:52 druthb        Oh, totally.  The smarter they are, the harder it is.  That's why PBP is actually kind of simplistic...because it cuts down on the hard-to-decipher cleverness.
23:51 mtompset      druthb: AMEN!
23:51 dcook         That's exactly how it feels a lot of the time...
23:51 dcook         druthb++
23:51 druthb        Thanx, wizzyrea!
23:51 druthb        :D
23:50 huginn        wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.  Quote #264 added.
23:50 wizzyrea      @quote add <druthb> Grokking someone else's code is still trying to reverse-engineer someone else's brain.
23:50 druthb        Thing is, and I say this as someone who's *taught* programming languages--if you were in a strongly typed language, or using knuckleheaded naming conventions, you'd still be scrolling.  A lot.  Grokking someone else's code is still trying to reverse-engineer someone else's brain.
23:49 mtompset      Bad code, indeed!
23:49 mtompset      Yes, I think it was labels.
23:49 eythian       well that's bad code. subs should be short.
23:49 mtompset      And defaulting to '' or 0 means less code to check for undefs. ;)
23:49 eythian       it's just tri-state logic, true, false, undefined.
23:49 mtompset      But having to scroll down lots of code to find how it is used is ugly.
23:48 mtompset      Perhaps. :)
23:48 eythian       it should really be undef for both
23:48 mtompset      yes, but '' is usually a default for a missing parameter that is a string, whereas 0 is for a number.
23:48 eythian       (assuming it's possible to convert)
23:48 eythian       whenever a string is evaluated as a number, it's converted to a number and that's stored along side it.
23:47 druthb        In perl, always.  You can treat a number like a string, and a string like a number, if it looks like one.
23:47 eythian       mtompset: no, not sometimes.
23:47 druthb        That's part of the awesome of perl.
23:47 mtompset      eythian: sometimes.
23:47 druthb        With perl's lack of typing, you can do this, and it's just fine:   $a = 1;      print $a+2;  print $a.'2';
23:47 mtompset      I had to read over 800 lines of code to figure out what to default a value to when a parameter wasn't passed.
23:47 eythian       '1' and 1 are the same thing
23:47 eythian       mtompset: you're doing it wrong then :)
23:46 mtompset      druthb: With perl's lack of typing, sometimes telling whether something is '1' or 1 is difficult, even reading the code.
23:45 druthb        ...it's called...  "context."
23:45 dcook         As you yourself said, you didn't even look at the coding guidelines until now
23:45 druthb        mtompset: Part of the reason Hungarian is considered kind of tacky, is that it doesn't *actually* do what it claims to--increase clarity.  Oh, it does, I suppose, if you take a variable name out of context, and just plunk it on a page:  $strName.  But in real-world code, you have this amazing...thing...in the code...to give you that without all the typing.
23:45 dcook         mtompset: Given that there are so many contributors, I would think it would be difficult to get everyone to adhere to one standard at this point
23:44 eythian       that's why java has a style guide that people tend to stick to :)
23:44 mtompset      Why can't people universally agree on a naming convention? Can't we all just get along?
23:44 eythian       IsSequence
23:44 eythian       err
23:44 eythian       mtompset: I prefer is_sequence, but the koha standard is variable and leaning towards IsStandard.
23:43 pianohacker   The current CamelCase standard is... weird, in comparison to everything else
23:42 pianohacker   mtompset: more hungarian notation is a sin
23:42 mtompset      By the way, no one explained WHY that naming convention is a sin.
23:41 mtompset      which do you prefer eythian? which is koha's standard?
23:41 mtompset      IsSequence or is_sequence?
23:40 mtompset      Okay... _'d names it is.
23:40 druthb        I'm thinking of doing a Tomb Raider cosplay with this thing.  It's hefty.
23:39 dcook         I was wondering what I had done ;)
23:39 druthb        not for you, dcook.
23:38 * dcook       takes cover
23:38 dcook         Eeep
23:38 dcook         hey ya druthb :)
23:38 * druthb      loads her Nerf pistol.
23:38 mtompset      Strange... it stopped complaining for me.
23:38 druthb        hi, dcook!
23:38 dcook         morning #koha
23:36 eythian       http://paste.koha-community.org/95 <-- mtompset, similarly with function names.
23:36 druthb        For most geeks, it was one of those, "oh, this is...icky" things...but I actually had to *use* it for a couple of my classes.  Fricken prof was a fan.
23:36 mtompset      Hmm... let me recheck.
23:35 eythian       mtompset: definitely mortal.
23:35 mtompset      So, is it mortal or venial? ;)
23:35 eythian       http://paste.koha-community.org/94 <-- mtompset, it doesn't complain about _ for me.
23:35 druthb        "Sin" is the wrong word, eythian.  I think more like "vile abomination."
23:35 mtompset      Why do you call it a sin?
23:34 mtompset      Exactly, so why force a logical format on perl when it doesn't enforce it.
23:34 eythian       perl isn't a strong typed language, and hungarian notation is a sin.
23:34 mtompset      $strValue ;)
23:33 mtompset      $objSequence ;)
23:33 mtompset      personally, if I was getting all strong-type...
23:33 mtompset      It complains about the _
23:32 eythian       why does it complain about the first on?
23:32 eythian       I don't think variables should start with capitals.
23:32 mtompset      I had $borrower_count, and changed it to $BorrowerCount to get an extra level of perlcritic. :)
23:31 mtompset      I think that barfs around level 3.
23:31 eythian       is it not?
23:31 mtompset      And what's more annoying is... if they wanted all lower case, I'd like get_next_value, but that isn't perl critic friendly either.
23:30 eythian       personally I prefer get_next_value, but that's just me.
23:30 eythian       (it is the koha standard, insofar as we have one)
23:30 eythian       yes, but that's not the perl standard.
23:29 mtompset      But I like things like GetNextValue. :P
23:29 eythian       because that's the general perl standard.
23:29 mtompset      (for -2 and -1)
23:29 mtompset      Why does perl critic want function and variable names all caps or all lowercase?
23:25 eythian       yeah
23:24 mtompset      So, if I'm commenting up my nice new code prettily... =head2 ... =cut just before each function is sufficient?
23:23 wizzyrea      fishbot is <reply> http://www.factsoffishing.com/wp-content/uploads/robot-fish.jpg
23:23 mtompset      maybe... but it could have been pink. :P
23:23 eythian       http://www.factsoffishing.com/wp-content/uploads/robot-fish.jpg <-- it looks like this
23:23 wizzyrea      fish* slap
23:23 ibeardslee    "I could" is funnier
23:22 mtompset      ^I could^It could^
23:22 mtompset      Perhaps even a robotic swordfish.
23:22 mtompset      I could have been a snapper, catfish, tilapia, bass, or something else.
23:21 mtompset      but we don't know if it was a robotic trout. :P
23:21 eythian       clearly.
23:21 eythian       it was a robot fish.
23:20 mtompset      I mean was a fish. We don't know the type.
23:20 mtompset      But we only know it wasn't a fish. :P
23:19 mtompset      Oh. That.
23:19 mtompset      troutslap?
23:19 mtompset      toutslap?
23:18 wizzyrea      trout even.
23:18 * wizzyrea    is not a fan of the toutslap
23:16 pianohacker   wat

22:51 huginn        04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10454 major, P5 - low, ---, mtompset, In Discussion , Duplicate card numbers may be generated
22:51 mtompset      I'll post something on bug 10454 later. I'm trying to get pod information into my Sequence.pm file, so it is super pretty.
22:31 pianohacker   if not, start looking at the db-dependent test-suite
22:31 pianohacker   DBI::Mock may or may not be flexible enough for your purposes
22:31 pianohacker   mtompset: See t/Calendar.t
22:31 mtompset      How do I mockup a DB connection in a test?
22:30 mtompset      Now to convert my test.pl into a more proper testing suite for the bug.
22:29 mtompset      I guess I'll just let my code stand as is.
22:29 pianohacker   Just nothing firmly in place
22:29 pianohacker   we've... looked at it before. There's even a slow effort to move to DBIx::Class, which would take care of most of this for us
22:29 mtompset      because if that function was working properly, I'd hook into it to make an intelligent constructor.
22:28 pianohacker   yeahhhhh....
22:28 mtompset      C4::Context db_scheme2dbi function is hardcoded.
22:27 mtompset      Oh sucky.
22:27 pianohacker   best of luck. You'll have put more effort into Pg compatibility than the rest of C4 combined, but still a worthwhile exercise :)
22:26 mtompset      Okay... that gives me an idea to tweak my Sequence.pm code then. :)
22:26 mtompset      So, the new() constructor would know which one to call out to.
22:25 mtompset      AH!
22:25 pianohacker   then created the correct subclass
22:25 pianohacker   mtompset: You'd need an intelligent constructor in the Sequence class that looked at the currently set DBMS
22:24 mtompset      But how does Koha code in general know to call the default GetNextValue or the Pg version?
22:24 mtompset      I could create a Sequence::Pg (for example) and override it in a subclass.
22:23 mtompset      pianohacker: That isn't really my concern as trying to understand how one would override the method with a replacement method.
22:23 pianohacker   I don't really know if there's much you can do for that, mtompset. My advice would be to mark it with a comment and go on
22:22 pianohacker   Half of C4 has MySQLisms...
22:22 mtompset      How do I override that method for a different RDBMS?
22:22 mtompset      but the method function GetNextValue has a MySQLism.
22:21 mtompset      Let's say I create a nice class library Sequence.pm
22:21 mtompset      Greetings, eythian.
22:21 eythian       hi

19:47 cait          cookie duels...mmmh
19:47 oleonard      Bye #koha
19:34 drojf         nice try, cookie monster ;)
19:31 gmcharlt      if you all need a judge...
19:31 * gmcharlt    is all for a cookie duel
19:28 drojf         why not? we could do it with raspberries. or cookies
19:27 cait          and noone wants to duel you I think :)
19:27 drojf         lol
19:27 drojf         languages… they're basically all the same
19:27 drojf         :)
19:27 bag           we understood you though :)
19:27 drojf         oh, a duell in english is spelled duel
19:26 cait          nicht so südlich heute abend - aber recht frisch
19:26 drojf         how are things in the südstaaten?
19:26 drojf         hi cait
19:25 cait          hi drojf
19:25 drojf         a test plan or a duell!
19:25 drojf         hehe
19:25 oleonard      Demand!
19:24 drojf         i will :) well, maybe not bribe
19:23 gmcharlt      drojf: gotcha -- please go forth and ask/beg/bribe for test plans, then! :)
19:21 drojf         gmcharlt: i just browsed "needs signoff" yesterday and i think i saw a few. it was nothing dramatic, i just wanted to make sure it is still required before i answer "needs a test plan" next time i find one :)
19:20 gmcharlt      drojf: and I double-checked -- I haven't noticed a signficant drop in test plans for patches that reach me; if there are particular commits that you're concerned about, please let me know
19:11 drojf         yay!
19:11 gmcharlt      drojf: it's still in effect
19:08 drojf         gmcharlt: i wanted to ask this before but i think i didn't (or my tired brain lost the answer)… is the "each patch needs a test plan" rule still in effect or was that jcamins-only? i'm under the impression that there are more bugs without a test plan lately
19:04 drojf         evening
18:58 gmcharlt      again, I don't see any reason for the sequence generator to care about the AutoCommit value; the purpose of including it in the test was just to verify that it would work it if happen to be off
18:58 mtompset      Have a great day (24 hour period). :)
18:57 mtompset      Bye, magnuse.
18:57 * magnuse     calls it a day - have fun #koha
18:55 mtompset      After all a _new_dbh call to C4::Context creates a separate DB handle that won't affect the old one.
18:54 mtompset      I meant internally change the autocommit for the sequence_generator.
18:51 gmcharlt      mtompset: no, at this point I see no reason for code that uses the sequence generator to change the value of AutoCommit
18:51 mtompset      But in the case of adding a sequence, deleting a sequence, getting the next value, resetting everything... should I even care about setting autocommit in my code?
18:49 gmcharlt      especially in the long run, where it would be best of Koha managed DB transactions more explicitly
18:49 gmcharlt      any future sequence code shouldn't count on AutoCommit always being on, as there are circumstances where you want it off
18:48 gmcharlt      mtompset: part of testing to verify that fresh sequence values will, in fact, be returned when AutoCommit is off
18:48 mtompset      gmcharlt: why did you turn off autocommit in your example code?

18:16 cait          nancyk: so you just need to show up a bit earlier and get to see who is arriving? sounds like a nice job :)
18:15 * cait        will probably book this weekend
18:15 druthb        My only gripe with the sponsorship structure is the big step between the two tiers; I would sponsor somewhere *between* those two numbers, if there was a small benefit to doing so.
18:15 nancyk        Reservations will be until we start the pres
18:15 nancyk        enough money if we get all the hotel res I was expecting. They bring freebies
18:15 cait          nancyk: during presentations too I mean :)
18:15 cait          nancyk: is registration desk all day?
18:14 nancyk        We have 4 sponsors so far,
18:13 druthb        How are the sponsorships going?  Got enough scratch?  Because I own a non-library business, and might sponsor, if sweet-talked and if you need it.
18:13 nancyk        go druthb
18:13 nancyk        ok

18:12 nancyk        ok
18:12 druthb        :P talljoy
18:12 cait          itiva is not available in germany I think
18:12 cait          so people can decide not to attend easier
18:12 cait          hm ok for me, but vendor only owuld be nicer not in the middle but maybe beginning or end
18:12 talljoy       jinx druthb
18:11 talljoy       i like that idea
18:11 * druthb      thinks that'd be awesome.  Not *just* a vender preso, but a 'how we did it."

18:10 bag           Brooke: itiva is from NZ :)
18:10 Brooke        cause there are gobs of international folks that prolly wanna speak that aren't vendors
18:10 bag           there is a system preference for it
18:10 bag           well itiva does have "stuff" in koha
18:09 Brooke        can it maybe go after normal conference, or before?
18:09 nancyk        It is new to Koha, and I personally want to know more about what it can do.
18:09 nancyk        I would like special permission to allow someone from Itiva, our telephone notification vendor to do a 30 min presentation

18:07 nancyk        good idea
18:07 cait          then you can plan better
18:07 cait          maybe ask presenters who will be ok with getting filmed early on

17:56 mtompset      I guess that is going to be my next learning curve.
17:55 mtompset      I suppose, because it plays with C4::Members.
17:54 gmcharlt      er, sorry (not really) to break it to you, but test cases for fixup_cardnumber() were kinda required anyway :)
17:54 mtompset      I have yet to write my first test cases for my other patch I am working on.
17:53 mtompset      But implementing a class meaning writing test cases. :P
17:51 gmcharlt      that's not quite how I would implement it (I'd define a class that implements the basic setval, create sequence, and nextval operations, then simply a class that implements those for mysql, rather than doing an if/else -- but you've got the basic idea
17:50 mtompset      So basically, because fetch_next can be if mysql, elsif pg else'd... just go with it?
17:49 gmcharlt      and the notino of a sequence (or simulated sequence) that has a name and integer value is trivial to port to Pg
17:48 gmcharlt      since there's no such thing (to my knowledge) as an ANSI-SQL standard sequence, it's pretty hard to avoid having implementations that aren't DBMS-specific
17:47 gmcharlt      mtompset: from my POV it is *not* a barrier to passing QA, provided that the sequence-fetching is wrapped in a suitable OO-package that allows for plugging in a PostgreSQL or other DBMS implementation later
17:46 mtompset      only 54? ;) I'd test 100 then 1000. Likelihood of 10000 is unlikely. :)
17:45 gmcharlt      and I've just successfully completed a test that used 54 simultaneous processes to request sequence values
17:44 mtompset      So I guess the only question is... will the MySQLism pass QA?
17:44 gmcharlt      yep
17:44 mtompset      " It is multi-user safe because multiple clients can issue the UPDATE statement and get their own sequence value with the SELECT statement (or mysql_insert_id()), without affecting or being affected by other clients that generate their own sequence values. "
17:42 mtompset      "The value of LAST_INSERT_ID() will remain stable in the second statement; its value for the second and later rows is not affected by the earlier row insertions." -- ah, okay.
17:40 gmcharlt      mtompset: also, please read the MySQL documentation link I pasted in the bug -- MySQL is asserting that the trick is multi-user safe
17:39 mtompset      You didn't try to force the broken case.
17:39 mtompset      I'll take your code sample, tweak it, and see if I can generate the broken case.
17:38 magnuse       and yes, the only failing test i could find was related to qotd
17:38 magnuse       gmcharlt: ah, fun :-)
17:38 gmcharlt      magnuse: the quotes test has a known issue where it fails at midnight server time
17:37 gmcharlt      mtompset: yep, that's the purpose of (a) using MyISAM, as we specifically *want* a non-transactional table (b) the use of the "magical" form of last_insert_id() that accepts a parameter
17:36 pastebot      "gmcharlt" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "test script showing that multiple requesters still get unique sequence values" (17 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/93
17:35 mtompset      That's why I did the patch the way I did, gmcharlt.
17:35 magnuse       wow, the test suite is noisy
17:34 mtompset      There's no serialization.
17:34 mtompset      how do I know they won't grab the same value after incrementing twice?
17:34 mtompset      if two processes run at nearly the same time...
17:34 mtompset      Wait a second...
17:33 magnuse       huh, eythian or me broke master?
17:33 mtompset      Yes, very pretty code.
17:32 gmcharlt      (via insert, not alter table)
17:32 magnuse       gmcharlt++
17:32 gmcharlt      mtompset: I just pasted an even better test script into the bug; this one lets one store multiple sequences in a single table and add new ones at will

17:28 tcohen        for example, on a circulation report, choosing to filter by itemtype with <<itype|itemtype>> fails saying itemtype is not a valid authorized value
17:28 mtompset      After installing Test::Exception manually, and cpan2deb'ing DBD::Mock to get a newer version, I get pretty prove output.
17:27 tcohen        guided reports creation is failing on my server because of it
17:27 tcohen        yes, read it thanks, the thing is that (on my box and server) with a newer DBD::Mock those tests are failing
17:26 magnuse       tcohen: that paste was for you - I get DBD::Mock is too old too
17:25 mtompset      I'll cpan2deb it. :P

17:23 mtompset      I don't like the MySQLism, but I do like this option.
17:23 gmcharlt      tcohen: works for me on Wheezy
17:22 tcohen        found a bug and suddenly tests are failing (at least on 21.04)
17:22 tcohen        can anyone try prove -v t/db_dependent/ReportsGuided.t ?

17:20 magnuse       thanks oleonard, fixed it now
17:15 gmcharlt      mtompset: thats a good question -- let me try something
17:14 mtompset      Or is this a single record table?
17:11 mtompset      would each sequence get its own table, gmcharlt?
17:11 cait          i haven't fully tested it yet, but it's something that's already there
17:10 cait          you set the start number there and it increments and updates the number
17:10 cait          we have the optoin to use authorised values for generating stocknumbers using a plugin
17:10 cait          hm just a note on the sequence thing
17:09 gmcharlt      mtompset: indeed, the checksum building could be moved out
17:09 gmcharlt      then add some stuff to the syspref editor to discourage folks from changing such sysprefs willy-nilly
17:09 mtompset      if cardnumber_sequence only stores the numberic portion of the cardnumber, then the checksum string building part could be external.
17:09 gmcharlt      eh, I think one (part of an) approach for managing the potential of folks randomly twidding sysprefs is to add some metadata to indicate which sysprefs are meant to be set only once
17:07 gmcharlt      more seriously, it would be easy enough to add an admin page for managing the sequence values (with  some stiffly worded help text on the consequences of getting it wrong)
17:07 mtompset      And we should try to handle stupid gracefully.
17:07 mtompset      Yes, but stupid is always possible.
17:07 gmcharlt      yeah, somebody who toggles the checkdigit syspref just for fun is ... weird
17:06 mtompset      Oh wait... I see what you are saying.
17:06 mtompset      That's why I put the checkdigit column in.
17:05 mtompset      The problem is people can toggle the checkdigit system preference.
17:05 mtompset      So you keep inserting into the cardnumber_sequence table until the 2,7 range matches the last one?
17:04 mtompset      gmcharlt: Though that is generally true, I think the DBI last_insert_id vs. an SQL last_insert_id is a better choice, because it puts the onus on the DBI class to get last_insert_id correct, and not use a MySQLism.
17:03 gmcharlt      mtompset: I think my approach can cover the katipo checkdigit too -- the sequence would just have to be initailize to start with whatever "select max(substring(borrowers.cardnumber,2,7)) as new_num from borrowers" is at the time of upgrade
17:02 gmcharlt      of course, reviving the Pg port should get easier as I'm antcipating that DBIx::Class support will be pushed in the upcoming release
17:01 gmcharlt      mtompset: AFAICT, there is *no* cross-platform way of getting reliable, concurrent sequences; consequently, I don't actually have a problem with using MySQL's last_insert_id();  the main consideration for using it is just making sure to package in a reasonable fashion so that it's easy to add alternative approaches, e.g., if the Pg port gets revived
17:01 mtompset      If katipo doesn't use checkdigit, then simplifying to something closer to what you suggested is totally plausible.
17:00 cait          oh kohacon meeting tonight
17:00 mtompset      That is a good question.
16:59 huginn        gmcharlt: The operation succeeded.
16:59 gmcharlt      @later tell rangi does HLT still use checkdigit = katipo?  what about any of your other clients?
16:59 mtompset      I do think the last_insert_id in the DBI code, however, should be portable across backends.
16:59 mtompset      I don't like using LAST_INSERT_ID in the SQL. :)

16:25 cait          oleonard: oups
16:24 tcohen        maybe bad data on the issues table
16:23 tcohen        don't know what the problem would be
16:23 tcohen        a lot happened to the calendar

16:22 oleonard      11,153 of them, to be precise.
16:22 oleonard      In our production system very old entries in issues lack a branchcode.
16:21 tcohen        i mean, that we should fix heh
16:21 tcohen        bug
16:21 tcohen        sounds like a but
16:16 cait          you could check if the holidays in your holidays table have a branchcode set maybe, but not sure if that would help
16:16 cait          but i am not sure
16:16 cait          it sounds familiar
16:16 oleonard      Beats me.
16:14 cait          why 05?
16:13 oleonard      When we try to check in items which are very overdue we get this: No branchcode argument passed to Koha::Calendar->new at /home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Overdues.pm line 310.

15:53 tcohen        starting the indexer when enabled using the new config file...
15:53 mtompset      Greetings, gmcharlt cait.
15:52 tcohen        of course, but if you're building your own package for precise, and it upgrades your current 3.12 demo instances flawlessly...
15:52 cait          happy tcohen :)

15:48 * tcohen      heads to enabling the indexer in his new /etc/default/koha-common file :-P
15:48 mtompset      Yes, a git dev set up.
15:48 tcohen        do u have a dev setup?
15:47 mtompset      what file do I edit?
15:47 mtompset      Let's say I want to include some sample configuration in koha-conf.xml
15:47 tcohen        would you test my packages?
15:46 mtompset      Next question. :)

15:14 oleonard      This court is particularly bad at hiding the fact that they make decisions on political grounds.
15:13 gmcharlt      oleonard: indeed -- IMO, anybody who believes that the SCOTUS makes its decisions on non-political grounds is a perfect candidate... for my plan to sell them ALL THE BRIDGES!
15:10 reiveune      bye
15:07 oleonard      Too bad it's just a turn of good luck rather than an indication that the court has generally good judgment.
15:05 cait          yay!

15:00 marcelr       have to go now
14:59 marcelr       cait: will send a new patch later, but the sql files will not change so much in de-DE/mandatory (except perhaps one source statement)
14:58 cait          hm i think i will just wait and see :) and concentrate on the writing i have to do tonight
14:57 cait          hm, well, maybe not super painful if we could use a trick like the sysprefs do
14:57 cait          super painful.
14:56 cait          it's painful
14:56 cait          line by line translation is not really an option
14:55 marcelr       thx for your feedback; will return to it later
14:55 marcelr       i will put i18n first around the whole thing
14:54 gmcharlt      (though that's easily done via an update script)
14:54 gmcharlt      right, although I suspect in some cases, a language manager will want to replace the notice text outright, not do a line-by-line translation, so there should still be support for that
14:53 marcelr       concat(i18n(line1),\n, etc.
14:53 marcelr       concat(line1,line2,line3)
14:52 marcelr       we could use concat there btw
14:52 gmcharlt      and I also feel that as much priority as possible chould be placed on making what strings can be readily translated with Pootle accessible to the translators; I grant that the multi-line notices may not be easily supported by Pootle yet
14:51 gmcharlt      let's just say that the RM has expressed no objection to using the mysql source statement; I'm not making any final decisions whatsoever until there's a lot more testing
14:50 marcelr       it seems that the RM approves using source; i just have to adjust
14:48 jcamins       Right. But if the RM has an objection, that's a way to address it.
14:46 marcelr       while converting the folders
14:46 marcelr       only temporarily
14:46 jcamins       marcelr: right. I thought the objection to that was that it involved hardcoding which languages had been changed. My suggestion is how to avoid hardcoding the languages.
14:45 marcelr       jcamins: your usesupdates file is now in my load_counterpart code
14:44 jcamins       If there isn't, skip the load en (or global) step.
14:44 jcamins       gmcharlt: exactly. If there is useupdates, load en (or global), then the update file.
14:44 marcelr       ?
14:44 cait          ok, so we have differnet goals - translation an allow modifications while only maintaining one set of files globally
14:44 marcelr       if you add a notice,m just add it in global and no longer care about languages
14:44 gmcharlt      jcamins: that would mean duplicating the English inserts, unless you mean that the presence of a useupdates in a folder tells the installer to load en first
14:43 marcelr       if we do them all now, we get rid of adding the insert everywhere
14:43 jcamins       Any language that doesn't have the usesupdates file has inserts instead of updates, and therefore gets run in the traditional fashion.
14:43 marcelr       jcamins: we should do them all actually
14:42 jcamins       gmcharlt: no it doesn't. My suggestion involves touching only those languages that you've decided to update anyway.
14:42 gmcharlt      jcamins: as an end state, that's reasonable, but as marcelr expressed, to get there in one fell swoop means touching all of the language SQL scripts
14:42 marcelr       jcamins: we could use source and just step over some theoretical reservation
14:41 marcelr       ok
14:41 gmcharlt      marcelr: please; meanwhle, I'm going to work on a tool to deal with .pot/.po files for the SQL scripts
14:41 jcamins       (rather than symlinks + additional file)
14:41 jcamins       It seems to me that it would be better to have a global insert and then the languages do updates, and then there can be a file called "usesupdates" in the language folder.
14:40 marcelr       i concentrated on point 1 now
14:40 marcelr       two things: first insert and update, second move to pod
14:40 cait          or just allow for modifications of the sql files in en with the option to do a translation that way?
14:40 cait          move the translations out of the sql
14:40 cait          what are we exactly trying to do?
14:40 marcelr       gmcharlt: true, shall i insert your function in a updated patch?
14:39 cait          hm
14:39 marcelr       there is one general insert in root and a update in the lanuages
14:39 gmcharlt      marcelr: yeah, but using a custom function name avoids potential confusion of use of concat() for its normal purpose
14:39 marcelr       no changes for sysprefs
14:38 cait          how does it work for the syspref file?
14:38 cait          i think it all sounded quite complicated so far
14:38 marcelr       but i did not add them in this patch yet
14:38 marcelr       concat(a) is just a
14:37 marcelr       gmcharlt: i had the idea to add concat statements around the translatable descriptions etc. to recognize them
14:37 gmcharlt      cait: since you just rejoined, http://paste.koha-community.org/88
14:36 pastebot      "gmcharlt" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "suggestion for marking strings in SQL and making them available for Pootle" (11 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/88
14:36 marcelr       at this time there is only a rather sad Pg folder in there
14:36 marcelr       not even talking about other db engines and if they have such a construct
14:35 jcamins       marcelr: ah.
14:34 marcelr       jcamins: it is just that you more formally would not like to have source statements in a sql file
14:34 cait          brb
14:33 marcelr       jcamins: in that case we do not need it
14:33 jcamins       gmcharlt: but why would you need a symlink if you're using SOURCE?
14:33 marcelr       if we would agree on using source, i just add a source statement on top referring to ../../en and update after that (without a lot of code around it, though)
14:31 marcelr       will symlinks be an issue for other platforms?
14:31 gmcharlt      eh, something like relabel_userflags.sql
14:31 marcelr       how would you name the update?
14:30 gmcharlt      e.g., replace de-DE/mandatory/userflags.sql with a symlink to the en version, then add a language update
14:30 gmcharlt      but simply updating a file at a time would have the same effect without requiring the extra load_counterpart logic -- could be down with symlinks, for example
14:28 marcelr       note also that some languages renamed folders and files
14:27 marcelr       i made a script to support that. but it needs some manual tweaking now and then
14:27 marcelr       so i do not need to convert 300 sql files in one run
14:27 marcelr       gmcharlt: the counterpart stuff is for the 'sql include' and support the gradual conversion
14:26 * jcamins     shouts "go down" at the thermometer.
14:26 huginn        jcamins: The current temperature in Glendale, Glendale, New York is 29.9°C (10:26 AM EDT on June 26, 2013). Conditions: Scattered Clouds. Humidity: 53%. Dew Point: 19.0°C. Pressure: 29.83 in 1010 hPa (Falling).
14:26 jcamins       @wunder 11375
14:26 marcelr       jcamins: good point
14:26 gmcharlt      why bother with the load_counterpart() processing, though?  if the label-updating scripts are made mandatory, C4::Installer could be dumber, and just load en/global first, then  the languages
14:25 marcelr       a lot of code is around doing that
14:25 marcelr       but if i use source, i can get rid of it even faster
14:24 marcelr       it would disappear again
14:23 marcelr       i need it just temporarily for gradually converting the sql files
14:23 gmcharlt      marcelr: one bit I don't like is hardcoding the list of languages into  load_sql() -- I feel that the installer should deducing that by examinng the SQL directory, so that we don't have to touch (much) code any time a new set of language-specfic SQL is added
14:21 jcamins       Based on the way we do other things (templates, etc.), an en folder would be more consistent. However, I don't have an opinion about whether it would be better.
14:18 marcelr       i wrote that on bugzilla
14:18 marcelr       the other issue is about having a global folder or just using the en folder
14:17 gmcharlt      and even that probably isn't needed, since it's reason to assume that any conceivable packaging arrangement will keep the SQL scripts in the same position relative to one another
14:16 marcelr       they could make the code easier
14:16 gmcharlt      marcelr: I don't think using source statements is a problem; any issues could be dealt with by letting Makefile.PL paste in the path to the SQL scripts, if need be
14:15 marcelr       source is a sql client command
14:14 marcelr       gmcharlt: what i more or less do now, is a sql include; but i had my reservations on adding 'source' statements in sql files

12:59 oleonard      Maybe I worry too much
12:59 oleonard      So I wasn't exactly right to say a new dependency, just a heavier Bootstrap CSS

11:25 vfernandes    ok thanks cait
11:24 cait          you have a lot of options tho to do display recent acquisitions
11:23 cait          but it never made it into maaster
11:23 cait          i think there was a page in some 3.0.x versions eventually, or 3.2.x
11:23 cait          that's not easy to answer
11:16 vfernandes    in koha 3.X there is a recent aquisitions page in OPAC?
11:05 cait          I am on a train and can't really check anything on the internet
11:04 cait          sorry, guess I am not very helpful right now
11:04 vfernandes    but they aren't
11:00 cait          hm i would think so
10:57 vfernandes    shouldn't en files be in UTF-8 too?
10:57 vfernandes    en files are in us-ascii... pt-PT files are in UTF-8
10:56 vfernandes    I think I found out the problem
10:47 vfernandes    my worry is that this could happen in other pages than .pref
10:46 vfernandes    maybe the problem are with en .pref encondings?
10:46 vfernandes    it didn't work
10:42 vfernandes    i'm trying with new po's files
10:41 wahanui       koha-translate is rather handy though, isn't it? :-)
10:41 cait          hm maybe it can be fixed in Pootle
10:41 cait          koha-translate
10:41 cait          maybe try the mailing list to ask about it?
10:40 cait          i haven't seen problems with german umlauts so far
10:40 vfernandes    I think po files are with bad encodings
10:40 cait          but it would be all strings i gues
10:40 cait          i have noticed soemtimes editing the pref file with poedit can mess up the encoding
10:39 cait          hm
10:39 vfernandes    koha 3.10
10:38 cait          hm Koha
10:38 cait          and what is the version of your file?
10:38 cait          hm have you been working with pootle or another tool?
10:37 vfernandes    páginas should be páginas
10:27 cait          what exactly is messed up?
10:26 vfernandes    OPAC, Patrons and Circulation tabs in portugues are messed up

07:18 gaetan_B      the code i gave for the po-files (the code for the project in pootle)
07:17 magnuse       gaetan_B: what do you see in the language chooser when you don't see the name of the language?
07:16 magnuse       yeah, i think that is worth a look
07:16 gaetan_B      the language_subtag_registry looks like an interesting candidate...
07:11 gaetan_B      there could be as many as 5 tables involved actually
07:09 magnuse       i don't remember if that is involved, though
07:09 magnuse       language_rfc4646_to_iso639
07:09 gaetan_B      iso something to rfc something ?
07:09 magnuse       there is another table too, with a weird name
07:08 magnuse       let me see if i can find the bug
07:08 magnuse       i did it once for norwegian
07:08 dcook         Sounds like that should've done it?
07:08 dcook         cait was talking to me about that a little while ago
07:08 gaetan_B      you have an idea how it works magnuse ?
07:08 gaetan_B      i toyed with the language_descriptions table, to no avail
07:08 magnuse       gaetan_B: yeah, that is a tricky thing!
07:07 gaetan_B      i'm still trying to figure out how you define what will be displayed for a specific language in the choose your language section at the bottom of the screen
07:06 dcook         That would be the logical conclusion ;)
07:06 dcook         hehe
07:06 magnuse       dcook: so the bug is that you are still at work? :-)
07:05 bag           :)
07:05 magnuse       kia ora bag!
07:05 dcook         Maybe I should just wait until tomorrow..

06:47 magnuse       mtompset: i always use File::Slurp for that sort of thing, not sure about perlcritic, though
06:46 cait          mtompset: do you have perl best practices?
06:46 dcook         gaetan_B, might not hurt to grep a little bit just in case
06:46 bag           so change it in frameworks and in the index configs
06:46 mtompset      What is the friendliest perl critic way to open a file for write, dump a string, and close it?
06:46 bag           yeah most places it's actually just the call to biblionumber from the database
06:46 * mtompset    grumbles.
06:45 gaetan_B      ok thanks :)
06:45 gaetan_B      ok so the only trick if you change the linking would be to be very careful about the indexes
06:45 bag           and just make sure that you don't have two fields with the (forgets the exact name) - control-identifier or something similar to that
06:44 gaetan_B      (except stuff in the zebra configuration)
06:44 bag           the only places that it's really hardcoded I think are in the indexes
06:44 gaetan_B      so i thought maybe nothing is hardcoded for this
06:44 gaetan_B      but then i noticed the identifier is in 999c in marc21
06:44 cait          i think if you actually change the linking, you have to change indexing too
06:44 gaetan_B      i first thought "nope"
06:43 gaetan_B      but they don't want it here
06:43 cait          :)
06:43 cait          ok, now i am confused
06:43 gaetan_B      so the identifier is in 001
06:43 * magnuse     waves
06:43 gaetan_B      it's a unimarc install
06:43 gaetan_B      sorry i wasn't clear
06:42 cait          for marc21?
06:42 cait          but wouldn't go the original identifier in 001 then?
06:42 gaetan_B      one customer wants to keep the identifier from the original provider of the record, for FRBR somehow, i totally advise against it, but then, they want to have it this way
06:41 gaetan_B      yep
06:41 cait          but if you do it and it breaks something might be hard to repair
06:41 cait          and i think it's not, but that's more a feeling, with no actual proof
06:41 cait          why would you want to change the linking?
06:40 gaetan_B      the question actually is "since the biblionumber is linked to different fields in different marc flavours, is it safe to change the linking for one specific case ?"
06:39 gaetan_B      yes 999$c
06:39 gaetan_B      actually the question is for my colleague
06:39 cait          yep
06:39 dcook         I think the default Koha MARC21 set up puts the biblionumber in the 999$c
06:39 cait          but i haven't tried it
06:39 * dcook       isn't sure that he understands the question
06:39 gaetan_B      ah ok
06:38 cait          typoed
06:38 cait          linking :)
06:38 cait          gaetan_B: I think I wouldn't change the mapping for the biblionumber, because it might have side effects
06:38 gaetan_B      cait: what do you mean by lining ?
06:38 gaetan_B      seeing how marc21 uses another field for this, is anything hardcoded around these fields and biblionumbers, or can we just use another field safely ?
06:37 gaetan_B      but one of our customers is not satisfied with this and would like to have it somewhere else
06:37 cait          it might break things
06:37 cait          i think don't change the lining for marc21
06:37 cait          hope it goes well :)
06:37 gaetan_B      i have a marc21 related question by the way, in unimarc we always link the biblionumber to the 001 field, which pretty much fits the standard
06:37 cait          gaetan_B: oh you are back there
06:36 bag           really cool
06:36 gaetan_B      pretty exciting indeed :)

05:47 dcook         Interesting. It seems that the behaviour Nicole describes is the one that I have

05:37 cait          cleaned it up right now

05:36 dcook         It's not too pretty :p
05:36 dcook         The leader in this case
05:35 cait          are you using the controlfields in facets?
05:35 cait          i have wnated to work on that for a while
05:35 dcook         That's what I get for developing locally :p
05:35 wahanui       interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
05:35 dcook         Interesting..
05:35 cait          record type sounds aweesome
05:35 * eythian     makes like a tree and gets out of here
05:35 cait          dcook: hm i think shelving location is already in there... because i filed a bug about it :)
05:35 eythian       that's a good approach
05:34 dcook         Plus a TT filter that shows descriptions rather than values (while still using the values for the actual search)
05:34 eythian       oh, useful.
05:34 dcook         Added facets for shelving location and record type :)
05:33 dcook         Beautiful
05:31 dcook         Think this might be the one though
05:31 dcook         Must be because of including authorized values in records
05:30 dcook         Seems a bit...interesting
05:30 dcook         Just found GetAuthorisedValueDesc
05:30 dcook         Ooops, I meant authorized value descriptions
05:30 eythian       GetAuthorisedValues, or something like that?
05:29 dcook         Does anyone know the name of a sub that retrieves authorized values?
05:26 mtompset      almost got the code to level 4...
05:26 eythian       so it was right :)
05:25 mtompset      I am so tempted to use commas.
05:25 mtompset      never mind... bad open statements.
05:24 mtompset      it is unreasonable if three lines of open, printf, and close still trigger the message.
05:08 eythian       that's not too unreasonable
05:07 mtompset      It would seem that perl critic hates file handles opened for a "long" time in level 4.
05:02 eythian       cool :)
05:02 mtompset      Nice... I finally cleaned up my code for perl critic level 5.
05:02 mtompset      Greetings, cait.
05:02 cait          hi eythian :)
05:02 wahanui       hello cait are you here?
05:02 eythian       hello cait
05:02 cait          good morning #koha
04:54 eythian       I'm not sure where the lexilisation came from.
04:54 eythian       well, actually, the ability to use my in the foreach came in then
04:53 eythian       no, it came in in perl 5.004.
04:52 mtompset      code before strictures are enabled?
04:52 eythian       I'm not sure why it lexilises the loop variable, but I'm sure there's a good reason.
04:51 eythian       so it complains that it's bad.
04:51 eythian       mtompset: you can do pre-declare it, but it's bad form to do so, because it might confuse people who expect it to have a value based on the result of the loop.
04:50 mtompset      I don't think it will error.
04:50 dcook         Or does it throw an error?
04:50 dcook         Well, in a way, I suppose it is. I imagine that the foreach is still touching that $var variable you declare at the top
04:50 mtompset      the forced scoping for a loop seems... arbitrary to me.
04:49 dcook         Well, in a way, I suppose it is
04:49 eythian       yep.
04:49 mtompset      a my at the top of the .pl file should be "global" to that file.
04:48 dcook         Without explicitly declaring it as having a global scope?
04:48 dcook         mtompset: I don't have a lot of experience, but when can you ever use a variable from outside a foreach within a foreach
04:48 mtompset      fine... my in the foreach's or whatever. It's clear on the scoping, but it seems strange to no be able to declare the variable ahead of time.
04:46 eythian       yeah
04:46 eythian       besides, relying on it seems like relying on a side effect, and that's a code smell.
04:46 mtompset      ^my^make^
04:46 mtompset      so, I'd have to my $another_var, set it inside the foreach, and then use $another_var's value?
04:46 * dcook       nods
04:46 eythian       but you can't have that, because the foreach scopes it anyway.
04:45 mtompset      But what if I really want that variable external to the loop?
04:44 mtompset      If I put the my in the foreach... then I am clear on the scoping.
04:43 mtompset      Because I like sometimes like explicit declarations and strong typing? :)
04:43 eythian       yeah, that's not a rule you should really have.
04:43 dcook         Why would you declare throwaway type variables at the top?
04:42 mtompset      But this goes against my, "declare everything at the top of the routine, and then use it"
04:42 * dcook       just put a "my" in the foreach line
04:42 eythian       as opposed to having a separate one? it doesn't at all :)
04:41 mtompset      That makes it uglier to read.
04:41 mtompset      putting the my in the foreach line?!
04:41 eythian       also, it makes for nicer code that way
04:41 eythian       then they should be scoped within the foreach so they're explicitly thrown away.
04:40 mtompset      My foreach variables are generally throw-aways.
04:40 mtompset      What if I don't care?
04:39 eythian       I think that's what it's saying, yes.
04:37 Oak           :) well yes.
04:37 mtompset      Wait a second... I declare a my $var and have a foreach $var (@array_of_things) { ... } and the $var in the foreach loop isn't the same as outside of the loop?!
04:36 mtompset      Greetings, Oak. Long time no chat.
04:36 eythian       hi Oak
04:35 Oak           hello Mr Robin
04:35 * Oak         waves
04:33 eythian       http://search.cpan.org/dist/Perl-Critic/lib/Perl/Critic/Policy/Variables/RequireLexicalLoopIterators.pm
04:32 mtompset      loop iterator is not lexical?!
04:31 eythian       PBP is more about the justifications etc.
04:31 eythian       it's a book, though the rules themselves are explained in docs associated with perlcritic and perltidy.
04:30 mtompset      And where do I find that online?
04:28 eythian       Perl Best Practices.
04:28 wahanui       i heard PBP was not documented in FOSS anywhere as far as I can tell.
04:28 mtompset      What is PBP?
04:27 mtompset      and I don't understand the output of perl critic.
04:26 mtompset      :( I can't get qa-tool to run.
04:19 eythian       it's arguable as to whether it is or not.
04:19 dcook         wizzyrea: Just noticed a mountain near the end...a few have gotten over it (so sayeth the records) but I've never seen it and I have NO idea how they could do it
04:18 dcook         Yeah, I think so, although he seems to think it's a problem
04:18 eythian       yeah. The comments mentions some non-determinism, so I assume that's that.
04:18 wizzyrea      46 just won by a lot! and then... 47 got stuck in the same place again
04:18 dcook         eythian: Interesting that they don't perform identically each time, eh?
04:17 trea          indeed
04:17 dcook         Something about the back wheel being smaller..
04:17 dcook         I've had quite a few motorbikes as well, but the pizza cutter is pretty key, I think
04:17 wizzyrea      mine are starting to look decidedly like motorbikes.
04:17 dcook         My main model look like pizza cutters
04:17 eythian       I have a mountain that only one has ever been able to get over.
04:17 dcook         Pizza cutters
04:16 dcook         By .6m
04:16 dcook         Oh snap...gen 26 broke the record
04:16 dcook         I had one that looked like a penguin ^_^
04:16 dcook         hehe
04:15 wizzyrea      http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6576/nll.png
04:15 wizzyrea      lulz
04:03 dcook         Although at this point, they may have run into a new challenge that they haven't surmounted yet...
04:03 dcook         But I think they eventually overcame it
04:02 dcook         wizzyrea: I had that too at one point
04:02 wizzyrea      mine has a hill in it that the cars just. cant. do.
04:01 eythian       elitism is when the winner of the previous generation is copied in, after that it'll use some genetic mix of the best ones (though it doesn't give the details - there's many different ways you can go about it)
04:00 dcook         I'm not entirely sure. It seems like it, but it just says that the winner is copied into the new generation.
03:59 wizzyrea      so does the evolution begin from the winner of the last race?
03:58 eythian       ah ok
03:57 wizzyrea      heh.
03:57 wizzyrea      heh.
03:57 wizzyrea      heh.
03:57 * dcook       wonders what a seed of "koha" might do
03:57 dcook         Same seed does make the same world though...
03:57 dcook         Before you know it, you'll be talking about spikes and wheels as well
03:56 dcook         wizzyrea: That's how it starts
03:56 wizzyrea      i'm... not sure what to say about this
03:56 eythian       hmm right
03:55 dcook         I tried in another browser window and it was different
03:55 dcook         Hmm, definitely different worlds/tracks
03:54 eythian       until I reset, anyway
03:54 * dcook       wonders if wizzyrea gave up on us or is captivated as well
03:54 dcook         Hmm, so maybe we are on the same world
03:54 eythian       I presume whatever was in the box to start with
03:53 dcook         Right, I just wondered if there was a random one that got generated by default that the text box replaced
03:53 eythian       I think that defines the world, though the mutation etc. will be different.
03:53 eythian       the seed is defined by the text box
03:53 dcook         Or if there is a random seed
03:53 dcook         I wonder if we're on the same world
03:52 eythian       I think the latter two are distance and height, I think the first one is some combination
03:52 dcook         Then distance and height
03:52 wahanui       i guess points is how we did it other years
03:52 dcook         points?
03:52 dcook         #1: 191.38 d:187.76 h:-12.45/4.69m (gen 8)
03:52 dcook         Hmm, what's the difference between those first two values?
03:51 eythian       152.3
03:51 eythian       I might regenerate with a different seed
03:51 dcook         What's your top score?
03:51 eythian       all defauly
03:51 dcook         I played with the mutation a bit but then went back to the default
03:51 dcook         What settings do you have?
03:51 eythian       yeah, I've had some do that
03:50 dcook         The little one that was all wheel had no real spikes, so while it could go and go...it also kept going in those circles instead of bouncing off
03:50 dcook         It's fascinating how important the spikes are
03:49 dcook         Mmm, I've seen th at a bit as well
03:49 eythian       the slow one usually ends up on one wheel and a spike, rather than two wheels.
03:49 dcook         Poor bastards
03:49 dcook         I sent it to a bunch of students I know
03:48 dcook         wizzyrea: It's pretty much the best thing ever
03:48 dcook         http://rednuht.org/genetic_cars_2/
03:48 eythian       ah yeah
03:48 wizzyrea      what on EARTH are you talking about.
03:48 dcook         So he doesn't actually gain any distance
03:48 dcook         Yeah, he starts just flipping in a circle
03:48 wahanui       well, Interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
03:48 dcook         Interesting
03:48 eythian       looping?
03:48 dcook         A really slow one?
03:48 dcook         Ahh...I wondered what happened when they start looping
03:48 eythian       I've got a really slow one that's always the last one left.
03:47 dcook         He's practically all wheel!
03:47 dcook         That little guy is awesome!
03:47 dcook         Whoa!
03:46 dcook         It seems like a big wheel in front and a little one in the back with just the right back spike seems to work pretty well in this world
03:46 eythian       heh
03:46 dcook         Damn, I thought that big two wheeler was going to do it...
03:45 dcook         It's really interesting watching certain designs take over
03:45 dcook         Because surely there must be more than 18 generations (make that 19) by now
03:45 eythian       still making progress, though very incrementally
03:45 dcook         I'm wondering if Chrome does the same thing
03:44 dcook         How're they doing?
03:44 eythian       I think firefox slows it down when it's not in the foreground.
03:44 eythian       generation 53 here,
03:44 dcook         Generation 18 but Generation 8 is still top of the charts
03:43 dcook         You can surmount that hurdle!
03:43 dcook         Come on genetic cars!
03:07 mtompset      I'll try that later... going to go watch the daily show. ;)
03:06 dcook         But TT plugins are awesome
03:06 dcook         mtompset: No idea
03:06 dcook         thanks, wizzyrea :)
03:06 dcook         Hmm. *shrug*

03:05 dcook         qa tools?
03:05 dcook         wizzyrea: Yep, like so
03:04 tcohen        night
03:04 wizzyrea      like so?
03:03 wahanui       git clone git://git.koha-community.org/qa-test-tools.git
03:03 wizzyrea      qa tools?

03:03 tcohen_dinner koha-qa.pl?
03:03 dcook         Can anyone tell wahanui to do stuff? :p
03:02 dcook         qa test tools?
03:02 tcohen_dinner git clone git://git.koha-community.org/qa-test-tools.git
03:02 dcook         qa tools?
03:02 dcook         I think it might be in a different repo mtompset
03:01 mtompset      find . | grep qa returns nothing in my kohaclone.
03:00 tcohen_dinner QA people deserve that great feeling of having no koha-qa warnings when testing other's patches
03:00 wahanui       koha-qa is default assignee isn't it?
03:00 mtompset      um... where is koha-qa?
02:59 wizzyrea      so you might as well
02:59 wizzyrea      well the qa people are going to run koha-qa
02:59 tcohen_dinner koha-qa.pl gives good output for fixing things, and runs perlcritic for you of course
02:59 mtompset      but thanks for the suggestion, tcohen_dinner.
02:59 mtompset      okay... but wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines, section perl 4 says perl critic.
02:58 wahanui       I'll be waiting for you to come back, tcohen_dinner.
02:58 tcohen_dinner good night!
02:58 tcohen_dinner c u mtompset dcook
02:58 tcohen_dinner run koha-qa.pl mtompset
02:57 mtompset      YIKES! I didn't know how perl critic unfriendly my code could be.
02:55 mtompset      I, for a change, am actually running through the coding guide lines to see if my patch meets standards. :)
02:54 mtompset      Greetings, dcook.
02:54 dcook         hey ya mtompset
02:51 mtompset      Greetings, #koha.
02:44 dcook         Ours is significantly more :p
02:44 * dcook       is so jealous
02:44 dcook         Only one difference?
02:43 tcohen_dinner our diverged in only one patch :-D
02:43 dcook         It's not very pretty though...
02:43 dcook         Tough sometimes. Right now, I'm working on facets for information from the leader.
02:42 dcook         If things calm down at some point, hopefully I will be able to contribute more back in so it's less customized ;)
02:42 dcook         At the moment, we still have custom 3.8
02:41 dcook         Here's the instructions I'm looking at right now: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Building_Debian_Packages_-_The_Easy_Way
02:41 tcohen_dinner (custom 3.12 in our case)
02:41 tcohen_dinner i'm on the same track at UNC
02:40 tcohen_dinner debian/build-git-snapshot
02:39 dcook         I've been wanting to try this for a while, so it's good to have some motivation now
02:39 dcook         thanks, tcohen :)
02:39 tcohen_dinner good luck dcook, everything is there to do the job
02:17 dcook         No time like the present to learn how to build my own packages then :)
02:15 dcook         Hmm, thanks :)
02:15 eythian       yep
02:15 dcook         eythian: Are 3.10 the oldest set of packages we have?
01:21 dcook         hehe
01:20 eythian       --++
01:19 dcook         Search.pm--
01:02 eythian       tcohen: yeah, or a thermos flask.
00:59 dcook         Sweeeet record type is indexed
00:43 tcohen        is that how is it called?
00:43 tcohen        so, its a vacuum flask then eythian ?
00:43 dcook         so to speak...
00:43 dcook         And the leader and the 008..
00:43 dcook         But the leader and the 006 seem in sync
00:43 dcook         the 007 is the one that gets weird
00:42 dcook         Hmm, maybe it's not quite THAT bad
00:39 dcook         Because that makes sense
00:39 dcook         But then change them depending on the fixed field we're using
00:39 dcook         Why yes...let's use a set of codes to indicate "Type of record"
00:38 bag           HA
00:38 dcook         MARC--
00:19 dcook         Poor little cars
00:19 dcook         It's so sad watching them struggle sometimes :(
00:16 eythian       they'll get past it eventually :)
00:14 dcook         Or rather, none can make it past that point
00:14 dcook         Almost saw one break over the hump but they all seem to die at the same point
00:14 dcook         eythian: That is rather cool.
00:11 tcohen        i'll bring my mate to Reno for sure
00:10 eythian       http://rednuht.org/genetic_cars_2/ <-- cool
00:02 tcohen        that's what mate is jcamins, right!
00:02 tcohen        heh, sorry for the delay
