00:00 dcook      Ahh, nevermind. I think I gotcha.
00:00 dcook      Rather than using the syspref as a switch, yeah?
00:01 eythian    yeah.
00:01 eythian    Though, that syspref isn't currently a very good switch
00:01 eythian    I need to do something about that.
00:02 eythian    I'm sorta faking it at the moment, but that's not ideal.
00:02 dcook      Faking it?
00:02 eythian    have a look near the top of opac-search.pl
00:03 eythian    I need to get it to the point where you don't even know what search engine you're using.
00:05 dcook      (Huh, I didn't know for/when was a thing)
00:06 eythian    yeah, pretend it's not
00:07 dcook      Hmm, so do you mean about loading modules that you may or may not need?
00:07 eythian    yeah
00:07 eythian    so, you should just ask for Koha::SearchEngine::QueryBuilder and get the right thing
00:07 eythian    there is stuff for that there now, but it's incomplete.
00:08 dcook      Mmm, agreed
00:11 dcook      Hmm, I'm beginning to think CCL2RPN doesn't actually understand "*" or "?"
00:11 dcook      http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/dox/html/cclptree_8c_source.html
00:11 dcook      Yay open source...
00:12 dcook      And with reason...
00:12 dcook      @truncation in ccl.properties looks like it's been totally made up as a thing
00:12 huginn     dcook: downloading the Perl source
00:12 dcook      Sorry, little rant there
00:12 dcook      eythian: Yeah, Koha::SearchEngine::QueryBuilder would be great
00:13 * dcook    did notice that removing * and ? didn't seem to have an effect when using rtrn anyway...
00:14 dcook      I suppose it's still possible @truncation is a thing in a different file..
00:17 dcook      Damn google and not being able to search special characters
00:20 * dcook    should re-read the CCL syntax...
00:21 dcook      Ah, Indexdata's website says truncation is a CCL directive...
00:23 dcook      Ah ha
00:23 dcook      Wait..nvm..
00:31 * dcook    has also been thinking about writing up Zebra search tips for Koha
00:31 dcook      Something that is user accessible
00:31 dcook      Or at least staff accessible
00:32 * dcook    doesn't think the manual is necessarily 100% correct
00:32 dcook      And I doubt many people use it when they're trying to remember how to do a search in Koha
00:50 dcook      Hmm, tests say that adding "?" or "*" to a query doesn't do a damn thing when using Zebra
00:50 dcook      Hmm, unless..
00:50 wahanui    hmmm... unless is probably meant to give code that reads more like natural language? but i'm not a fan either
00:50 dcook      Yep, not a damn thing I can see
00:51 dcook      Have to have "rtrn"...
00:51 dcook      wrdl,rtrn="profession?" will return the same as wrdl,rtrn="profession"
00:52 dcook      I think truncation characters might only factor in when using special truncation attribute combos...
00:55 dcook      Hmm maybe not enough testing to be sure though..
00:58 * wizzyrea is really grateful for her flat white right now
00:58 wizzyrea   because it's cold as outside
00:58 eythian    dcook: that's all very mysterious.
01:00 dcook      eythian: Certainly badly documented
01:06 dcook      In fact, I think the documentation might be plain wrong
01:06 dcook      Mmm then again..
01:10 dcook      http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/dox/html/cclfind_8c_source.html
01:10 dcook      suggests that there can be truncation aliases..
01:10 dcook      Just like it says here: http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/tools.html#CCL
01:14 dcook      Ahhh
01:14 dcook      There's a bug
01:14 dcook      --- 4.2.21 2011/11/23
01:14 dcook      Fix cql_sortby_to_sortkeys. Completely broken before.
01:14 dcook      Make CCL's @truncation work again.
01:14 dcook      I'm on 4.2.13...
01:15 dcook      IE and Zebra
01:15 dcook      Why do I do such things...:p
01:16 eythian    wahanui: dcook is the designated masochist
01:16 wahanui    ...but dcook is missing part of that original link due to a smiley face that comes up in dcook's IRC client|currently out of line....
01:16 eythian    wahanui: dcook is also the designated masochist
01:16 wahanui    okay, eythian.
01:19 dcook      It looks like Wheezy's packaged version is 4.2.30, so people using packages should be OK
01:19 dcook      Not in Squeeze though
01:20 dcook      As Squeeze uses 4.0.11-1
01:51 dcook      Apparently you can't use truncation wildcards within double quotes
01:51 dcook      Well, you can, but they apparently are treated as regular text and not wildcards...
01:52 eythian    I would expect that
01:52 dcook      yaz-client plus "querytype ccl2rpn" and "set_cclfile /koha/etc/zebradb/ccl.properties" = no Koha crap
01:53 dcook      eythian: Naturally
01:53 dcook      You can use them as truncation wildcards within parentheses though
01:53 eythian    http://www.buzzfeed.com/mrloganrhoades/38-wonderful-moments-in-closed-caption-history?bffb
01:53 eythian    I would also expect that.
01:56 dcook      hehe
01:57 eythian    http://imgur.com/a/KBWIf <-- the weather took a turn around lunch time
02:01 dcook      Oh my..
02:08 rangi      next time someone asks me about NCIP
02:08 rangi      they'll get this
02:08 rangi      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTg8lisw2gM
02:09 dcook      'find rltrn="?fess?"' = expected result
02:10 dcook      'find rltrn=?fess?' = CCL ERROR: Both left - and right truncation not supported
02:10 dcook      O_O
02:14 eythian    it's probably a lot more expensive to do that
02:19 dcook      Oh totally
02:19 dcook      It takes ages
02:24 dcook      Actually...not so much
02:24 dcook      It did the first time I tried in Koha but that might've been unrelated
02:29 dcook      Hmm, I think I'm getting an idea...
02:30 wizzyrea   look out.
02:30 dcook      :p
02:30 dcook      Yeah, maybe
02:30 dcook      It's just that buildQuery works really stupidly
02:30 dcook      Ahh, wait, idea no good...damn
02:31 dcook      Well...for a basic search it might work..
02:31 dcook      Except stemming
02:31 dcook      Mmm, maybe even stemming..
02:33 eythian    dcook: just move to elasticsearch
02:35 wizzyrea   be eythian
02:35 wahanui    Sod it all, let's head to the pub!
02:35 wizzyrea   be eythian is also <reply> just move to elasticsearch
02:35 wahanui    okay, wizzyrea.
02:41 wizzyrea   @wunder nzwn
02:41 huginn     wizzyrea: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 9.0°C (2:30 PM NZST on July 02, 2014). Conditions: Overcast. Humidity: 71%. Dew Point: 4.0°C. Pressure: 29.18 in 988 hPa (Steady).
02:41 wizzyrea   feels colder than that.
02:41 eythian    you're inside.
02:41 wizzyrea   when I was outside, it felt colder than that.
02:41 wizzyrea   :P
02:42 rangi      metservice says it feels like 3
02:42 rangi      and is 6.7
02:45 wizzyrea   that seems closer to what I experienced
02:46 dcook      eythian: I suspect ElasticSearch will have problems with the query building as well
02:46 dcook      But we'll see :)
02:46 eythian    dcook: oh yeah?
02:47 eythian    it's more or less a shim to allow compatibility with the existing code.
02:48 dcook      Yeah, and the existing code sucks :p
02:48 dcook      I wonder a bit about stemming and weight fields..
02:48 dcook      Autotruncation
02:49 dcook      As that will require parsing the query, modifying it, then stitching it back together again
02:49 eythian    yeah, I havne't really implemented those yet.
02:49 dcook      Don't know if weight fields is even possible with ES although I don't really mind that
02:49 * dcook    doesn't care for weight fields all that much
02:50 eythian    I'm pretty sure it is possible.
02:50 eythian    there's definitely some facility for it.
02:50 dcook      Cool :)
02:55 dcook      Hmm, looks like .mailmap didn't merge my usernames together on GitStats :/
03:15 dcook      Always nice when you need to change something on Gitolite but haven't used it in ages :p
04:06 eythian    If I have an 'edition' field, where would I put that in MARC?
04:07 eythian    250$a
04:08 dcook      Yep
05:20 * cait     waves
05:37 * dcook    waves to cait
05:51 cait       hi dcook :)
05:52 cait       looks like i missed this morning's search discussion? :)
05:52 * dcook    shrugs
05:52 dcook      I guess so
05:52 cait       how is wednesday?
05:54 dcook      Mmm, experimental
05:56 cait       how can a day be experimental?
05:56 dcook      I've been trying a lot of things with CCL and QueryParser
05:58 cait       hm wonder how mine will turn out then :)
05:58 dcook      Hopefully better than mine :p
05:59 dcook      Well, I guess I've learned a lot...
06:07 cait       shoudl i send a reminder about today's (for you tomorrow's) dev meeting?
06:08 dcook      I thought that was already done?
06:08 dcook      Or did I get my days screwed up?
06:09 cait       the meeting?
06:09 wahanui    hmmm... the meeting is on wednesday?
06:09 cait       july 2nd
06:09 cait       or the reminder?
06:10 cait       http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_IRC_meeting,_2_July_2014
06:10 dcook      It is july 2nd today for me O_o
06:10 dcook      Or is it supposed to be my july 3rd?
06:15 dcook      Oh right... I guess it would be 8am for me tomorrow
06:15 dcook      I might be there on my phone...
06:15 * dcook    doesn't start work until 9, but might try to get in early..
06:16 cait       i sent something
06:32 cait       hm gah
06:32 cait       found a bug i think
06:32 dcook      Surprise! :D
06:33 cait       hm yeah
06:33 cait       the partial receive status is not properly given on updating an older database
06:33 cait       i know i tested this and it worked at some point
06:33 cait       bit frustrating
06:38 dcook      :(
06:40 reiveune   hello
06:40 cait       hi reiveune
06:41 cait       dcook: it could be worse
06:41 cait       :)
06:41 reiveune   hi cait dcook
06:59 cait       Joubu: rollover is done :)
07:05 gaetan_B   hello
07:15 dcook      Hmm, I might actually have a bit of a plan for buildQuery now...
07:15 dcook      Might just need to keep batting away at it until I find the right solution...
07:16 dcook      Need to run!
07:16 dcook      au revoir, tous
07:22 Joubu      hello
07:35 cait       mornign #koha
07:45 cait       good morning biblibre :)
07:48 cait       Joubu: around?
07:48 Joubu      cait: yep
07:49 cait       could you maybe apply the new 2 patches from kyle to the sandbox?
07:49 cait       the database still seems to have the test configuration from yesterday
07:49 cait       it was number 7
07:51 Joubu      cait: yep
07:51 Joubu      cait: in 10min
07:51 cait       cool
07:51 cait       thx!
08:07 cait       Joubu: ping me when it's done?
08:18 Joubu      cait: done ;)
08:20 cait       Joubu++
08:24 cait       Joubu: my tests look good, letting the library know
09:13 cait       Joubu: library tested ok :) going to sign off the 2 patches in the name of the librarian
10:29 khall      cait++
10:33 cait       library++ :)
10:33 cait       i only helped
10:33 cait       lunch bbl!
11:46 Racoo      Please help,  when I  create new catalogue entries, I often find I get a 'double' entry, so that I end up with a biblio record with holdings, and one without. I then have to go back and delete the extra entry, otherwise it shows up on catalogue searches as having 'no items' which is confusing for people using the catalogue. When I add an item it duplicates too. When the network slows this problem happens. How can I stop duplication
11:46 cait       do you double click by chance?
11:46 cait       i think it might happen because of your network issues
11:47 cait       not sure that can be sovled within koha
11:48 Racoo      no dont click double
11:48 Racoo      when the system is busy it creates dublications
11:48 Racoo      both in biblios and holdings
11:49 Racoo      it may be beause of zebra
11:49 Racoo      indexing
11:49 wahanui    hmmm... indexing is done by Zebra.
11:49 Racoo      how can we solve it??
11:50 Racoo      it is a big problem
11:54 Racoo      when the network is busy, it gives "Internal server error" but the biblio or the holding record is created, but sometimes 1 record sometimes 2 or more than 2 duplications are created. than we have to delete all the duplications, it is a huge lost time :(
11:57 csharp     Racoo: sounds like you need a professional to come evaluate your network setup... there are ways to throttle bandwidth via free/open source programs like pfsense
11:58 csharp     (but that's beyond the scope of #koha ;-))
11:59 Racoo      cant it be solved programaticaly
11:59 Racoo      ?
12:00 csharp     Racoo: a web-based program like koha needs a healthy network connection - no way around that
12:01 cait       do you hit refresh?
12:02 cait       it could be it sends the request again - and then that might cause the duplicate
12:02 cait       zebra is unlikely, if the duplicate only existed in the index, you couldn#t delete it
12:02 csharp     we see similar behavior in Evergreen when the network is congested and/or insufficient
12:04 Racoo      When we hit the refresh button or press f5 it creates duplications, but without refreshing the page by hitting refresh button or press f5 unfortunately it again creates duplications.
12:05 cait       Racoo: you mean that if you don't refresh or use the browser back button, there are still duplicates being created?
12:06 Racoo      yes
12:06 Racoo      this duplications especialy occur when the network is slow.
12:06 cait       i am sorry, i think csharp is right then
12:06 cait       there is not much you can do without fixing the network
12:07 francharb  good morning!
12:07 cait       hi francharb :)

12:18 tcohen     buen día #koha
12:19 oleonard   Hi everyone
12:32 oleonard   MARC preview not working in the latest Manage staged MARC records interface
12:53 bgkriegel  Hi
12:59 tcohen     hi bgkriegel
13:02 bgkriegel  Hi To+
13:07 cait       hi bgkriegel and tcohen :)
13:07 bgkriegel  hi cait :)
13:38 Joubu      cait: what are the shortcuts for tab navigation?
13:38 cait       Joubu: for testing - click on the checkouts tab (to get the focus), then use arrow right keys
13:38 Joubu      ok, right/left
13:38 Joubu      yep, thanks
13:38 cait       according to thelibrarian actually tab shoudl work and woudl work better, but this seems the way it works now
14:20 tcohen     oleonard: have you used Photobooth.js?
14:21 oleonard   No
14:21 oleonard   Interesting.
14:21 wahanui    interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
14:22 tcohen     I was thining of adding that to the patron details page
14:22 tcohen     upload/take picture
14:23 tcohen     it could be combined with https://github.com/addyosmani/getUserMedia.js
14:23 tcohen     for a flash fallback if the browser doesn't provide the API
14:24 oleonard   tcohen: On the staff side or OPAC?
14:24 tcohen     I was thinking on both
14:25 oleonard   If a library wanted accurate photos of their patrons I would think they would not want to trust photos received through the OPAC, but I guess that's a choice they could make.
14:26 oleonard   If a system like that were added to the OPAC it ought to be combined with the pending patron modifications system
14:28 tcohen     yes
14:28 tcohen     A library asked me to implement that for the staff interface
14:28 tcohen     and i thought of a syspref-driven feature for the OPAC too
14:29 oleonard   There's even an existing bug for that: Bug 6815

15:03 tcohen     hi
15:03 tcohen     some brief comments
15:03 tcohen     Jenkins tasks for running unit tests have been changed/updated
15:04 tcohen     they now test all maintained branches (/plus master) on ubuntu 12.4, 14.04 and debian 6 & 7
15:04 tcohen     the launching scripts might need to be improved
15:04 tcohen     and feedback will be welcome

15:11 cait       #topic Additions to coding guidelines
15:12 cait       #link http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2014-April/040456.html
15:12 cait       there has been a mailing list discussion a while ago about deprecating the non-XSLT views
15:12 tcohen     is there a bug for removing that?
15:12 cait       not yet
15:13 fridolin2  hie all
15:13 cait       but the question has come up on a bug, if a new feature needs to be added to non-XSLT as well
15:13 oleonard   gmcharlt: Any response to you from users on this issue?
15:13 cait       i think maybe a first step could be to not maintain them officially
15:13 gmcharlt   oleonard: none
15:14 cait       hm ok
15:14 ztajoli    Stefano Bargione tries to finda and XSLT to display ISBD (MARC21 format)
15:14 cait       i think i spotted a possible problem:
15:15 cait       HighlightOwnItemsOnOPAC HighlightOwnItemsOnOPACWhich says it's non-xslt only
15:15 ztajoli    sorry Stefano Bargioni
15:15 gmcharlt   we can deal with that as bugs
15:15 gmcharlt   one to deprecate, and another with those two sysprefs as a blocker to the first
15:15 cait       gmcharlt: with which?
15:15 cait       not sure if there are more, just did a quick search in the pref editor
15:15 gmcharlt   yeah, there could be otehrs
15:15 cait       a lot of features seem to be xslt only
15:16 cait       what about a deprecation warning? no longer maintain them, add new features only to XSLT?
15:16 gmcharlt   +1
15:17 tcohen     +1
15:17 ztajoli    +1
15:17 cait       gmcharlt: could you maybe write smething for the coding guidelines about that?
15:17 tcohen     btw, do we have a test for not-used sysprefs?
15:17 cait       tcohen: not that i am aware of
15:17 wahanui    i already had it that way, cait.
15:18 cait       #idea add a deprecation warning - non-XSLT officially no longer maintained, new features will only be added to XSLT
15:18 tcohen     ./t/db_dependent/check_sysprefs.t
15:18 khall      +1
15:18 oleonard   And non-XSLT is officially gone when?
15:18 tcohen     4.0?
15:18 wahanui    4.0 is pbly at least a year from now, if not more, so PostgreSQL support in it seem reasonable and doable.
15:19 cait       #action identify XSLT-only features and file bugs for those
15:19 khall      question: what kind of performance difference do we see between the two?
15:19 gmcharlt   wahanui: forget 4.0
15:19 wahanui    gmcharlt: I forgot 4.0
15:19 khall      considering we only process the visible results, the difference is probably not too great
15:19 cait       can i add an agreed on the idea?
15:19 gmcharlt   khall: I think somebody tested recently
15:19 gmcharlt   they're similar
15:19 cait       without calling another vote?
15:19 khall      agreed
15:19 tcohen     agreed
15:20 ztajoli    +1
15:20 gmcharlt   cait: and others - http://paste.lisp.org/display/143068
15:20 gmcharlt   thoughts on the suggested wording?
15:20 cait       #agreed add a deprecation warning to coding guidelines
15:20 tcohen     its fine gmcharlt
15:21 cait       hm missing a don't I think?
15:21 cait       in the first sentence of the second paragraph
15:21 gmcharlt   cait: "need not"
15:21 cait       oh
15:21 cait       sorry :)
15:21 gmcharlt   but I can change it to "don't need to be" if that's cleerer
15:22 tcohen     its ok
15:22 cait       let's make this quick as we have more topics - anyone wnats to veto? :)
15:23 cait       #info suggested coding guideline http://paste.lisp.org/display/143068

15:23 tcohen     +1
15:23 barton     +1
15:23 cait       and +1 for the wording from me :)

15:24 tcohen     start a vote?
15:24 cait       as far as I understand it, it's quite an old part of the code, for features no longer present
15:24 cait       sadly :)
15:24 gmcharlt   from my POV, it can go
15:25 cait       gmcharlt: how do i start the vote?
15:25 gmcharlt   git keeps the history, in case somebody wants a reference to reimplement deletion-undo
15:25 cait       #vote Remove of C4/Maintenance, yes = remove
15:25 gmcharlt   cait:  #startvote -- although to be frank, I'm not sure that this is worth calling a vote for
15:25 tcohen     yes
15:25 khall      yes
15:26 gmcharlt   but anyway, +1 to removing it
15:26 yohann1    yes
15:26 gaetan_B   bye!
15:26 oleonard   yes
15:26 ztajoli    +1
15:26 cait       gmcharlt: true, just vote quickly and let's move on
15:26 cait       yes
15:26 cait       ok
15:26 bgkriegel  yes
15:26 reiveune   bye
15:26 cait       #agreed C4/Maintanance will be removed (bug 12456)
15:26 cait       next one is similar
15:26 cait       Removal of misc/cronjobs/rss/rss.pl uses HTP - Bug 9000
15:26 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9000 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Passed QA , misc/cronjobs/rss/rss.pl uses HTP
15:27 tcohen     I didn't get any feedback on rss.pl
15:27 tcohen     besides mtompset's question
15:27 cait       unlike Maintenance.pm is still somewhat functional when you have HTP installed
15:27 gmcharlt   has it been asked on the general mailing list whether anybody is using it?
15:27 tcohen     it seems that it could serve for having heavy-loading rss precalculated
15:27 cait       but the rss xml files generated are not translated and thre are probably other problems as well
15:28 tcohen     its been asked on the dev list
15:28 cait       hm i think tcohen send something
15:28 gmcharlt   I suggest that we ask again - i can tweet - and if we don't hear back in a couple weeks, assume nobody's using it and remove it
15:28 tcohen     should we hold it back, and ask again?
15:28 tcohen     that
15:29 cait       ok
15:29 cait       who asks?
15:29 tcohen     i will
15:29 ashimema   I asked the question to my collegues..
15:29 tcohen     to the public list this time
15:29 * oleonard finds it hard to believe anyone is using it
15:29 cait       #action tcohen will ask on the mailing list if someone still uses misc/cronjobs/rss/rss.pl (bug 9000)
15:29 ashimema   many have still been using it recent;y.. but they're happy to switch to the search based rss if you can get the same functionailty out of it..
15:29 * ashimema has never played with it personally.
15:30 ashimema   "we'll cope" was their general response.
15:30 cait       next ist an update on the UTF-8 clean up
15:30 ashimema   sorry for being late.. just catching up now
15:30 tcohen     great ashimema
15:31 gmcharlt   so, re UTF-8
15:31 tcohen     Joubu worked hard on that
15:31 cait       Joubu++ :)
15:31 ztajoli    ++
15:31 gmcharlt   by tomorrow I'll be calling a date in July for a GBSD focused on it

15:32 cait       #info gmcharlt is also currently reviewing the feature and remaining issues
15:32 tcohen     that i'd like to push the important bits sooner than later
15:33 Joubu      gmcharlt: did you manage to write some tests?
15:33 tcohen     those that set the correct way to cope with data encoding/decoding
15:33 gmcharlt   Joubu: still working on it; not much chance to code during the ALA conference
15:33 tcohen     (e.g. CGI using -utf8)
15:33 Joubu      k
15:34 cait       we have a normal meeting next week i think
15:34 cait       we can then talk again about the gbsd maybe?
15:34 tcohen     hmm, this not anormal
15:34 gmcharlt   :)
15:34 gmcharlt   cait: sure
15:35 tcohen     cait: agreed
15:35 ztajoli    Ok, for CINECA july is a good month for 11944
15:35 cait       #action cait to put UTF-8 GBSD on next weeks meeting agenda
15:35 cait       next is removal of prog/CCSR themes
15:35 cait       decision has been made, now we need to get it done :)
15:36 tcohen     has anyone appointed to start sending patches on this?
15:36 tcohen     cait: the topic
15:36 cait       tcohen: we are still in bugs

15:37 tcohen     ok, I can delete that stuff
15:37 tcohen     will be sending patches soon
15:37 oleonard   Sorry, I was afk
15:38 tcohen     if anyone wants to help, let me know
15:38 oleonard   I have started submitting patches already, will continue.
15:38 tcohen     oh, great!
15:38 cait       :)
15:38 bgkriegel  there are five patches from oleonard removing related sysprefs
15:38 cait       oleonard++
15:38 tcohen     oleonard++

15:38 cait       #action oleonard is going to send patches for removing the deprecated prog/CCSR themes
15:38 ashimema   oleonard++
15:39 oleonard   I'm not sure how we should handle the upgrade process for users of prog
15:39 cait       i think we might have to put in a database update
15:39 cait       switching the pref
15:39 tcohen     moving them to bootstrap
15:39 cait       that will keep their opacs functional
15:40 gmcharlt   yes
15:40 cait       and also a big red note in the release notes?
15:40 khall      why not remove the pref altogether?
15:40 cait       khall: because you can create templates
15:40 tcohen     khall: we agreed people might have their own templates
15:41 khall      which is generally a terrible idea
15:41 cait       khall: not necessarily
15:41 gmcharlt   khall: who's to say that if the library is comfortable doing it?
15:41 oleonard   We let people do all sorts of things which are terrible ideas :)
15:41 gmcharlt   cait:  see also bug 12233
15:41 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12233 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, tomascohen, REOPENED , remove prog and CCSR OPAC themes
15:41 cait       khall: and look at ccsr - you can just have your own template file for one thing and fall back to standard theme for the rest
15:41 khall      cait: yeah, I just thought of that.
15:42 cait       i haven't used it yet... but it seems like something that might be useful for some
15:42 cait       :)
15:42 * khall    has dealt with custom templates and didn't enjoy the experience
15:42 cait       ok, anything more?
15:43 cait       next is the removal of C4/SQLHelper
15:43 cait       yohann1 has send some patches to achieve that
15:43 cait       yohann++
15:43 ashimema   yohann++
15:44 Joubu      Yes, the patches are interesting, but he needs some feedbacks to continue
15:44 Joubu      see the mail on the list

15:44 ashimema   I was about to say that Joubu.. do any dbic pros want to comment on the bug please.. i'm no pro so not in a position to ;)
15:44 cait       also yohann++ for improving our test coverage :)
15:45 gmcharlt   yohann++
15:45 khall      yohann++ indeed
15:46 cait       can someone give me something for an #action? :)
15:46 khall      I'm am completely for increased use of dbic
15:46 ashimema   me too ;)
15:47 cait       hehe those are  nice but not #actions
15:47 ashimema   though using it in the koha context is still baffling me a tad.
15:47 cait       i guess that's the problem here
15:47 ashimema   cait, someone needs to step up and give yohann some feedback..
15:47 khall      I will
15:47 ashimema   yeay.. action on khall ;)
15:47 cait       yay
15:47 ashimema   nice one khall++

15:48 cait       Better ways to manage MARC Frameworks - Bug 12477
15:48 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12477 major, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , We need better ways to manage MARC Frameworks
15:48 tcohen     bgkriegel?
15:48 wahanui    bgkriegel is on a signoff spree
15:48 cait       bgkriegel: do you want to take over?
15:49 bgkriegel  what do you think on using xml for our data?
15:49 bgkriegel  it will be easier to translate
15:49 * khall    notices yohann uses HashRefInflator, excellent!
15:50 bgkriegel  i have some code for frameworks, and most sql files
15:50 tcohen     the idea is to have the sample data (for example) in XML format for easier translation tasks
15:50 cait       bgkriegel++ his work on making the frameworks translatable has been a great help in updating the German frameworks
15:50 bgkriegel  but dcook raised some questions on that bug, i think someone could comment
15:50 cait       it was sooo easy compared to the horror of translating them the first time
15:51 gmcharlt   one approach might be to change the structure so that there's a concept of a derived framework
15:52 cait       gmcharlt: it hink we already have that now for authorities
15:52 cait       well in sql
15:52 cait       but it seems to work nicely
15:52 gmcharlt   right, but user-facing
15:52 gmcharlt   i.e., the standard frameworks wouldn't be changed, but could be upgraded to meet the standard
15:53 gmcharlt   if somebody wants a customized one, they'd derive it from one of the standard ones
15:53 gmcharlt   and the custom ones wouldn't be touched during ugprades
15:54 bgkriegel  no need for actions right now, but some ideas to work with, could be comments on 12477
15:54 tcohen     +1 for the idea of having the data in XML for translation purposes
15:54 cait       #action all comment on bug 12477 with ideas about improving our MARC framework management

15:55 cait       #topic Testig of APIs, CAS...
15:55 cait       api patches often seem to get stuck, because we have only very few testers for them
15:56 cait       one reasn is that we don't have an LDAP or CAS to test against
15:56 cait       for the CAS patch paul_p has provided a login to a test server, so that should be possible to test now
15:56 cait       please, if you can test LDAP, SIP, CAS patches, do so, even if they are signed off already
15:56 ashimema   it's not as easy as putting up a test ldap/cas/shibboleth server though unfortunately.
15:57 ashimema   allot depends on the varying configurations..
15:57 tcohen     Z39.50 also
15:57 cait       i think a second sign off could help QA
15:58 cait       #action all if you can, test LDAP, SIP and CAS patches or give them a second sign off! :)

18:00 tcohen     #koha: what is "Term" used for in course reserves?
18:02 cait       i think the term of the ... hm academic year?
18:03 cait       but it's bad for translation
18:03 tcohen     manual uses "Spring" as an example
18:03 cait       spring semester... maybe
18:03 cait       spring course
18:03 cait       khall: ping?
18:03 wahanui    Using deft allegory, the authors have provided an insightful and intuitive explanation of one of Unix's most venerable networking utilities. http://www.amazon.com/Story-about-Reading-Railroad-Books/dp/0448421658
18:05 oleonard   I think "term" is a less-specific word where "semester" and "quarter" imply a more specific duration, but all are basically the same thing
18:07 tcohen     thanks oleonard, cait
18:10 cait       oleonard: the problem with term is that it also means... something like word
18:11 cait       so for translation... it's been a problem and it's wrong in our opac currently
18:11 * oleonard approaches the English Council of Terminology to petition a rule change
18:11 cait       thx :)
18:12 cait       well... we still have jquery :)

22:03 tcohen     #topic RM 3.18 comments
22:04 tcohen     I mentioned today that the jenkins tasks have been set to build and run tests for all stable branches
22:04 tcohen     on ubuntu 12.04 & 14.04, and Debian 6 & 7
22:04 tcohen     each one has its own DB
22:04 tcohen     tweaks might be needed to the launching scripts
22:04 tcohen     I ask everyone interested (specially RMaints)
22:05 tcohen     to take a look and let me know their suggestions or stuff that needs to be done
22:05 tcohen     #info Jenkins tasks have been changed/updated, feedback from RMaints and anyone interested is expected
22:06 tcohen     Also, we are exploring the use of Trello to coordinate more efforts on the development team
22:07 tcohen     Katrin is experimenting for QA, I expect dcook to do it on for his Search code rethink/rewrite effort

22:11 tcohen     ok, moving on?
22:12 cait       yep
22:12 cait       move on :)
22:13 tcohen     Ah, I forgot to mention that the new jenkins setup made visible some problems, most notably Perl 5.18 related
22:13 tcohen     anyone that wants to take a look is welcome
22:13 tcohen     ok, moving on
22:13 tcohen     #topic Additions to Coding Guidelines
22:14 tcohen     it's been discussed that non-XSLT should be deprecated
22:14 tcohen     #link http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2014-April/040456.html
22:14 tcohen     on the first part we discussed changing the coding guidelines to reflect that
22:15 eythian_   It'd be good to have a plan, like with prog->bootstrap
22:15 eythian_   e.g. start making XSLT default, then in a couple of releases remove it.
22:15 cait       xslt is already default :)
22:15 eythian_   Just to ensure everyone has a heads up.
22:15 eythian_   oh good :)
22:15 cait       the next step would be identify features that are non-xslt only
22:15 cait       it appears there is at least one
22:16 tcohen     and sysprefs
22:16 wahanui    hmmm... sysprefs is one
22:16 cait       HighlightOwnItemsOnOPAC HighlightOwnItemsOnOPACWhich
22:16 cait       and gmcharlt has written up a suggested no coding guideline - http://paste.lisp.org/display/143068
22:16 cait       hm new coding guideline... not no
22:16 tcohen     #info suggested coding guideline by gmcharlt http://paste.lisp.org/display/143068
22:18 tcohen     do we agree on that addition to the coding guidelines?
22:18 eythian_   +1
22:18 tcohen     the plan is to freeze non-XSLT related code during 3.18
22:18 cait       +1
22:19 cait       adding no new features to non-xslt
22:19 tcohen     +1
22:20 tcohen     agreed?
22:20 tcohen     #agreed add a deprecation warning to coding guidelines
22:20 tcohen     #topic Bugs
22:20 tcohen     I mentioned two bugs that remove stuff
22:21 tcohen     which are passed QA
22:21 cait       Removal of C4/Maintainance.pm - Bug 12456
22:21 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12456 normal, P5 - low, ---, yohann.dufour, Pushed to Master , The file C4/Maintainance.pm can be removed
22:21 tcohen     bug 12456 (already on master)
22:21 cait       Removal of misc/cronjobs/rss/rss.pl uses HTP - Bug 9000
22:21 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9000 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Passed QA , misc/cronjobs/rss/rss.pl uses HTP
22:22 tcohen     does anyone have any concern on removing rss.pl?
22:22 tcohen     it depends on HTML Template Pro which is not even a dependency for us
22:22 tcohen     and we can always recover from git if needed
22:23 eythian_   yeah, if it's never used and won't even work, toss it.
22:24 tcohen     with cait we agreed earlier
22:24 rangi      there are some people around the world using it, it will work fine if you installed koha a while ago and jsut kept on upgrading
22:24 tcohen     rss.pl?
22:25 rangi      so we would need to make it nice and clear in the release notes its being removed
22:25 rangi      yes
22:25 rangi      asheima said so in the last meeting
22:25 rangi      if you have html::template::pro installed, it works
22:25 cbrannon   Is anyone aware of an item limit for bib records?
22:25 cait       it does
22:25 rangi      and if you installed koha pre 3.4.0 you will have
22:25 cait       it's not nice, but i tried it, untranslatable tho
22:26 rangi      so we will have to document its being removed and provide easy instructions for an alternative
22:27 cait       ashimema said at the last meeting he had checked with his coworkers and they 'would cope'
22:27 tcohen     ok, i'll send an email to the general list as we said in part 1
22:27 rangi      yes, thats fine for those who have a support company
22:27 rangi      i still think we need to make it very clear in the release notes (not just an email to the list)
22:27 cait       yes, so far it's just the only feedback from users we have
22:27 tcohen     maybe they are interested in improving it
22:27 rangi      im not against removing it
22:27 cait       gmcharlt has also asked again on twitter, we can do mailing list and release notes
22:28 rangi      just that it doesnt do the same thing as a saved search, so you will need to tell people how they can do the same thing
22:28 bag        hey cbrannon there is a meeting going on - but I think you are looking for this http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11096
22:28 huginn     04Bug 11096: major, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Pushed to Master , Koha cannot retrieve big records from Zebra
22:28 cbrannon   sorry
22:28 cbrannon   thanks
22:28 tcohen     ok, we earlier agreed that there was no rush for it
22:29 tcohen     and that a mail to the general list should be sent
22:29 tcohen     (i'll do it)
22:29 tcohen     asking people if they rely on that
22:29 tcohen     #action tcohen will ask on the mailing list if someone still uses misc/cronjobs/rss/rss.pl (bug 9000)
22:29 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9000 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Passed QA , misc/cronjobs/rss/rss.pl uses HTP
22:30 tcohen     #info rangi asked that removal should imply a clear statement for the users to be aware of the removal
22:31 tcohen     agreed on that path?
22:31 rangi      yep
22:31 tcohen     so, next is
22:32 tcohen     UTF-8 cleanup - Bug 11944
22:32 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11944 major, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Needs Signoff , Cleanup Koha UTF-8
22:32 tcohen     Joubu worked hard on that. It is a tricky one
22:32 tcohen     gmcharlt said he'll be reviewing that patch set
22:33 tcohen     we need as many eyes as possible on that one
22:34 cait       #info gmcharlt will set a date for a gbsd for the utf-8 clean up
22:35 tcohen     #info cait will put the GBSD for UTF.8 cleanup in next general meeting's agenda
22:35 cait       oh right.. there was that
22:35 cait       :)
22:36 tcohen     next is removal of prog/CCSR themes
22:36 tcohen     #info oleonard said he'll be working on patches for that
22:36 cait       oleonard++
22:37 tcohen     defaults need to be changed, sysprefs deleted, and so on
22:37 tcohen     #info Removal of prog/CCSR themes (bug 11346) - oleonard will be working on those patches
22:37 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11346 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , Deprecate the PROG and CCSR themes
22:38 rangi      oleonard++
22:38 tcohen     one thing worth mentioning is that in will imply changing the opactheme syspref
22:38 tcohen     syspref == ccsr || prog -> bootstrap
22:39 rangi      yep
22:39 tcohen     next is the removal of C4/SQLHelper
22:40 tcohen     #info yohann sent several patches to move C4::SQLHelper-dependent code to using DBIx
22:41 tcohen     khall_away offered to help him with that
22:41 tcohen     and they are talking on hte public list about that
22:41 tcohen     yohann++
22:42 tcohen     ok, moving on
22:42 tcohen     Better ways to manage MARC Frameworks - Bug 12477
22:42 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12477 major, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , We need better ways to manage MARC Frameworks
22:42 tcohen     bgkriegel?
22:42 wahanui    bgkriegel is, like, on a signoff spree
22:42 bgkriegel  well, as said earlier, need opinions/ideas
22:43 bgkriegel  I'm for using xml, at last in frameworks
22:43 bgkriegel  other files could be also
22:43 bgkriegel  main reason is to ease translations
22:44 tcohen     the idea is to use xml for generating the data
22:45 bgkriegel  it will be useful if some want to comment on that bug
22:45 tcohen     using XML has the advantage that the current translation tools like it
22:45 rangi      id like to see it as a first step away from being MARC specific
22:45 rangi      id like to move it to cataloguing frameworks
22:45 rangi      which might be marc
22:46 rangi      might be dc, might be whatever
22:46 tcohen     interesting
22:46 wahanui    hmmm... interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
22:46 rangi      xml seems like a good step in that direction
22:46 wizzyrea   ^^
22:47 wizzyrea   cataloguing_frameworks++
22:47 rangi      with that, plus elasticsearch .. we are moving away from 1968 :-)
22:47 tcohen     rangi: if you have any idea on an XML model that should help going that direction, please step in :-D
22:47 tcohen     hi wizzyrea
22:48 wizzyrea   most of the metadata formats have dtds I thought...
22:49 tcohen     the cataloguing interface needs to be rewritten to support that I guess
22:50 cait       hm for the data i think yes, but not sure that's the same
22:50 cait       we would have to add to it maybe, but use vor validation?
22:50 bgkriegel  and what about rancor?
22:51 cait       not sure what i say makes sense it's quite late here
22:51 rangi      thats designed heavily for cataloguers (ie people who like MARC) i doubt we'd touch that
22:52 wizzyrea   could probably take some cues from projects like greenstone
22:52 rangi      just not locking us into only being able to represent marc fields would be the first step
22:54 tcohen     rangi et al: do u plan to work on that regarding the ES integration efforts?
22:54 rangi      not in this release cycle no
22:55 rangi      well elasticsearch already lets us index anything, not just marc so nothing more needed there really
22:55 eythian_   Though a lot of the existing stuff it hooks into expects marc, but that's a solvable problem.
22:55 rangi      just whatever we choose to represent our frameworks, it would be nice to not build in assumptions that it will always be MARC
22:55 rangi      ie it doesnt have to support others yet, but just not make it harder to :)
22:56 tcohen     DSpace uses an XML file to model the input form (cataloguing framework)
22:57 cait       the change is also to make it easier translatable - i think maybe not try tomake it do everything now, but make afirst step?
22:57 wahanui    okay, cait.
22:57 tcohen     anyway, what bgkriegel want's to do for now, is abandoning the SQL files stored in the source tree, and move them to XML for better translation
22:57 rangi      yep
22:58 tcohen     we currently have one file for each language
22:58 tcohen     ok, if anyone has any comment to do on that, approach bgkriegel
22:58 tcohen     or comment on the bug (feedback is always welcome)
22:59 tcohen     dcook for instance, proposed YAML instead
22:59 tcohen     ok, moving on now, agreed?
22:59 tcohen     #topic Testig of APIs, CAS, LDAP...
23:00 tcohen     the QA team has several bugs in their queue
23:00 tcohen     due to the lack of a proper testing environment
23:00 tcohen     not everyone has a CAS or LDAP server
23:01 tcohen     SIP, etc
23:01 tcohen     biblibre set a CAS server for testing purposes
23:01 tcohen     biblibre++
23:01 tcohen     we still don't have an LDAP server for testing LDAP patches
23:01 * bag      is working on getting an LDAP server for testing
23:01 tcohen     :-D :-D
23:02 bag        just got back in office from being out for about 40 days (work travel and vacation)
23:02 * tcohen   is amazed most of the sentences are even aligned
23:02 bag        so LDAP will come just not too fast
23:02 bag        :)
23:02 tcohen     bywater++
23:03 tcohen     #actions ByWater is working to provide an LDAP server for testing purposes
23:04 tcohen     ok next topic
23:04 tcohen     #topic Big stuff we are working on
23:04 tcohen     anyone?
23:04 wahanui    Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
23:04 tcohen     I mentioned earlier that I plan to work on a TemaTres<->Koha integration
23:05 rangi      just the same as before
23:05 bag        pianohacker just spent the last week working pretty heavily on http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11559
23:05 huginn     04Bug 11559: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jweaver, Needs Signoff , Professional cataloger's interface
23:05 rangi      elastic search, plack, and cover images
23:05 bag        he should have more patches coming in another 3~4 weeks
23:05 tcohen     bag: what needs to be done for rancor?
23:05 tcohen     (from the release team)
23:06 bag        right now pazpar2 isn't reliable - so pianohacker needs to decide on how he wants the z3950 searching done
23:06 tcohen     ok, let everyone know if feedback is needed
23:07 cait       :)
23:07 bag        like why even change what we already have versus being creative with something new :)
23:07 tcohen     :)
23:07 cait       there is also the opac patch using pazpar2
23:07 bag        will do
23:08 bag        yup cait there is...
23:08 cait       not sure what we could use instead
23:08 bag        once we can have pianohacker in the "office" for a consistent period we'll be looking at all those again
23:08 tcohen     excellent
23:09 tcohen     rangi: about plack support
23:10 tcohen     is there big stuff needing sign-off or any kind of feedback?
23:10 eythian_   A few have been signed off, and one or two need a bit more work (of the ones I've done.)
23:10 * bag      is working on getting 2 production sites up in the next two weeks for plack staff
23:11 bag        see if we can't find some more bugs
23:12 eythian_   yay bugs! :)
23:12 tcohen     ok, i mentioned TemaTres
23:12 eythian_   what is that?
23:12 wahanui    well, that is the intended behavior?
23:13 tcohen     is a tool for managing thesaurus and controled vocabularies
23:14 bgkriegel  TemaTres: http://www.vocabularyserver.com/
23:15 tcohen     thanks bgkriegel
23:16 eythian_   That looks worthwhile.
23:16 tcohen     we should move on, cait would fall asleep otherwise
23:17 cait       huh?
23:17 * cait     might already be half asleep
23:17 cait       but it's the time
23:18 tcohen     ok, moving on
23:18 tcohen     #topic Dates of releases
23:18 tcohen     we forgot to talk about that on part 1
23:19 rangi      ah yeah
23:19 tcohen     release dates are slippin
23:19 rangi      ive notice we seem to be slipping from our release dates
23:19 rangi      it used to be 15th was string freeze, and 22nd was release (for maintenance releases)
23:20 rangi      but it kinda is all over the place now, which makes it harder for translators etc
23:20 rangi      i just wanted to mention that, and see if people would like to try to get back to monthly regular releases
23:21 bag        agreed - I think it should be back to 15th 22nd
23:21 tcohen     yes, i'll talk to the guys about that
23:21 tcohen     we can do it
23:21 bag        I just don't want my calendar alerts to be wrong :P
23:21 rangi      thanks
23:21 bag        heh
23:21 tcohen     ok
23:22 cait       22nd_releases++ :)
