Time Nick Message 01:42 waylonR hiya all. is it correct, that solr is currently in an unusable state? 01:43 rangi yes, its been removed for 3.18, to be replaced with elasticsearch 01:44 eythian it's never really been in a useable state, aiui 01:46 waylonR right. moving koha from 3.0 pre2 to koha 3.14... can i basically copy over my zebra config files, and use the grs1 to dom script? 01:46 rangi in theory 01:56 waylonR okay, is it easier to modify the scheme in grs-1, or in dom? i need to make some changes to the scheme before reindexing. 02:12 waylonR whats the advantage of dom over grs-1? 02:17 eythian grs-1 is deprecated, because dom is better in ways I don't know. 02:18 eythian but that also means that grs-1 is presumably getting less support 02:26 eythian annoying, on a fresh dev install, I get this: 02:26 eythian 15:26:31-04/12 zebraidx(3783) [warn] No such record type: dom./home/robin/koha-dev/etc/zebradb/biblios/etc/dom-config.xml 02:27 eythian and the rebuild fails 02:27 eythian but fails with no other useful messages 02:34 mtj heya eythian 02:34 eythian hi mtj 02:34 eythian you don't know how to solve my problem, perchance? 02:34 mtj i've often thought we need some helper script, that detects a sane zebra setup 02:34 mtj nah, i dont think i do.. :/ 02:35 eythian bother 02:35 mtj does it fail at the start, or some way thru it? 02:36 eythian pretty much the start of invoking zebraidx 02:37 mtj hmm, ok.. 02:37 eythian just emailing the -devel list now 02:38 mtj running off a 3.18.0 repo? 02:38 eythian yarp 02:41 mtompset yarp? 02:41 mtj are you running koha-rebuild-zebra , eythian - or someting else? 02:41 eythian rebuild_zebra.pl 02:42 mtj ok 02:42 eythian this isn't a package install, it's a dev install 02:42 mtj yep, ok 02:43 mtj hum, you might try swapping in a set of 3.16.x zebra conf files 02:43 mtj ..then try again, see if the problem persists 02:43 mtj or try diffing a set of 3.16 and 3.18 config files 02:44 mtj grab some older versions of dom-config.xml, to test 02:45 eythian I don't know if that file is even the problem 02:45 eythian I'm wondering if it's zebra-biblios-dom.cfg, which is where that line is from 02:45 eythian well, where it references dom./... 02:48 rangi yeah, or its something in home/robin/koha-dev/etc/zebradb/biblios/etc/dom-config.xml 02:49 rangi ie its a bad error message 02:49 * eythian tests 02:50 eythian 15:50:21-04/12 zebraidx(3849) [warn] No such record type: dom./home/robin/koha-dev/etc/zebradb/authorities/etc/dom-config.xmlaarrg 02:50 eythian I think it's an error in some other way 02:50 mtj hmm, it looks fiddly :/ 02:50 rangi yeah 02:50 eythian i.e. the path seems to make no difference 02:51 rangi thats what i found when i hit it too i think 02:53 eythian the file hasn't changed since 2012 though 02:53 mtj what happens with a 3.16 version of dom-config.xml , and zebra-biblios-dom.cfg , i wonder.. 02:54 mtj ah, scratch that then :) 02:55 eythian +facetNumRecs:1000 02:55 eythian ^-- the only change between 3.16.00 and master 02:56 mtj does a 3.18 pkg install have the same bug? 02:56 eythian unsure 02:56 eythian it'd only happen with fresh instances, too 02:57 eythian but we would have noticed if 3.16 did... 03:02 mtj hm, yeah 03:04 eythian https://sfconservancy.org/supporter/ 03:05 mtj i'm a bit busy at the mo, to confirm the bug in 3.18 pkg 03:06 mtj upgrading disks on my dev box... so no dev box to test on, even 03:07 eythian ah 03:08 eythian Well, I'm going to stop poking it and see if someone on the mailing list knows what's going on. I'm mostly trying to get elastic search working in this environment anyway, so zebra isn't compulsory. 03:10 rangi to go along with eythian's link https://www.fsf.org/free-software-supporter/ 03:10 eythian in this case, the SFC one is a new thing they're doing. 03:10 rangi or if you want to credit me https://my.fsf.org/register_form?referrer=9619 :) 03:11 rangi yep, SFC are pretty cool 03:11 eythian hmm, is the FSF one putting a header in some maybe non-english alphabet? 03:11 eythian "ÐовоÑти" 03:11 eythian it links to the news 03:11 rangi evergreen are part of the conservancy 03:11 eythian oh, it's going totally cyrillic for me 03:11 eythian weird 03:16 mtj nice, thanks for the links guys ^ 04:09 waylonR okay, is it easier to modify the scheme in grs-1, or in dom? i need to make some changes to the scheme before reindexing. 05:27 mtompset Has anyone ever pushed in a newer version of a core module (Scalar::Utils) into an Ubuntu system? 05:35 mtompset Greetings, cait. 05:35 cait hi 05:35 mtompset Anyone know what uses libossp-uuid-perl in Koha? 05:41 mtompset my data::uuid (forget the capitalization) is not a high enough version in Ubuntu 14.04, and I'm trying to install Test::DBIx::Class. 05:43 wajasu fun. 05:55 mtompset and libossp-uuid-perl conflicts with libdata-uuid-perl, since the former provides the latter, but it is an earlier version. 05:55 mtompset well, let's see what explodes. :) 05:57 mtompset Kind of annoying that installation of Test::DBIx::Class is easier under Jessie. 06:07 mtompset And now I remember why I was trying to get Test::DBIx::Class installed! Shibboleth! 06:26 mtompset Have a great day (24 hour period), #koha. 07:38 mveron Hi #koha 07:40 mveron The world needs books: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGHeh6OPhg4 07:58 alex_a bonjour 08:03 marcelr hi #koha 08:14 marcelr @later tell tcohen how about $DBversion = '3.19.00.000'; ? 08:14 huginn marcelr: The operation succeeded. 09:20 akafred The debian package for koha 3.16.04 ... is it available anywhere. 09:20 akafred ? 09:28 drojf akafred: maybe check your sources.list. 3.16.x should be oldstable not (and 3.18.x squeeze) so you probably have to change the file. but i don't know if eythian did the package already 09:29 drojf *oldstable now 09:30 akafred We checked yesterday and found 3.14... 09:32 drojf hm yes i just tried. i guess you'll have to wait a few days then 10:20 gaetan_B hello 10:21 akafred Btw is there any reason why old versions are not kept around in the deb repo? 10:29 magnuse akafred: when i have "deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha oldstable main" in /etc/apt/sources.list i get 3.16.04, but that has been there for some time 10:30 magnuse i guess we don't have 3.16.5 yet 10:32 drojf magnuse: really? i get 3.14.11 10:33 drojf 3.14.11 0 500 http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/ oldstable/main i386 Packages 10:36 drojf akafred: i think eythian wanted to reorganize things some day. like getting rid of the name "squeeze" for the stable release. but i don't know if there are plans to keep older releases 10:37 akafred Keeping old versions around reduces risk ... in case a new release contains a bug that will take a while to resolve. 10:38 cait good morning #koha 10:38 drojf hi cait 10:41 cait hi drojf 10:41 cait hi akafred 10:41 cait akafred: lots of questions about opl's project at the swib conf 10:41 akafred hi cait :-) 10:42 akafred Cool :-) 10:48 akafred We haven't really begun building production quality solutions for the semantic stuff, yet, though. 10:50 cait maybe next year 10:51 cait i think it will be in hamburg - nice city too :) 10:51 drojf oh i want to go too :) 10:53 akafred However we have done some cool devops stuff, like running Koha in a Docker container, running feature tests against the web interface of Koha (so we can do London style TDD) in a build server, plus have gone a long way to convert data from Bibliofil (the top vendor of ILS'es for public libraries in Norway) to Koha ... 10:54 cait sounds good :) 10:54 akafred ... have plans to blog about it ... perhaps over the holidays :-) 10:54 cait akafred: will be someone from oslo in marseille again? 10:54 cait the date is not set yet - but i think probably march 10:55 akafred I think so, but nothing has been decided. I want to go, anyway :-) 11:06 cait akafred: i am a big fan of the hackfests 11:34 akafred Yeah, great initiative :-) 12:53 cait ok, libraries with more than 700.000 records... 12:53 cait anyone? 12:53 wahanui Anyone?

It may be a bit hard for our patrons to find books, formations and explanation of how it works is often necessary 13:18 nlegrand ho that last one was for cait, not for me :) 13:19 cait ah, what's the problem for the patrons? 13:19 cait and thx 13:23 nlegrand cait: we have some complains about finding books, serials, and a lot of noise, but it's rather ok anyway :) 13:38 nlegrand cait: but if it's about size, I guess it will be the same problem with a less than 700 000 items catalog :). I'm not sure our ILS is far worse than what it would be with only 500000 items :). 13:41 cait i often get asked about a size limit with koha 16:05 saa when i search for a particular record in koha in opac i get an error "Can't call method "as_string" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Koha.pm line 1608." 16:06 saa how to figure out this issue 16:13 Joubu saa: I already answered you last week isn't it? 16:13 Joubu saa: Was it about a bad isbn? 16:14 saa u had mentioned that earlier 16:14 saa but even isbn is removed still same error 16:14 saa hw can i sort this 16:16 Joubu Did you find the record with the problem? 16:16 saa in opac i cant find 16:16 saa hw can i find that record 16:17 Joubu saa: Are you able to modify the source code? 16:18 saa i can modify 16:18 saa if u can tell me where to chanage and what to change 16:18 Joubu saa: last week you give me the isbn, so you know the record 16:18 Joubu edit C4/Koha.pm 16:18 Joubu Search for "sub NormalizeISBN" 16:19 Joubu and add "warn $string;" before my $isbn = Business::ISBN->new($string); 16:19 Joubu reload the page and look at your log file 16:19 Joubu you should see the "isbn" before the boom 16:20 Joubu have to go, sorry. Good luck saa 17:07 tcohen hi 17:07 drojf hi tcohen 17:17 gerundio hi 17:18 gerundio during our last upgrade on koha, we moved the installation to a package based model 17:18 chris_n lunch 17:18 tcohen gerundio: yay! life is easier that way 17:18 gerundio the 17:18 gerundio Perl modules listing in the koha/about.pt show 2 "Not Installed" and 2 outdated entries 17:19 gerundio what's the best approach to solve this without updating koha? 17:19 gerundio I already read http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/How_to_install_missing_Perl_modules_on_Debian 17:19 tcohen gerundio: don't worry 17:22 tcohen can u share a screenshot of the missing ones? 17:22 tcohen what debian distro/version are u using? 17:23 gaetan_B bye! 17:23 tcohen http://snag.gy/RcSbx.jpg 17:23 gerundio debian wheezy 7.0 17:23 tcohen @later tell marcelr done 17:23 huginn tcohen: The operation succeeded. 17:24 gerundio a little outdated for sure 17:24 tcohen gerundio: and using the squeeze koha repo? 17:24 gerundio yes 17:24 tcohen please share a screenshot 17:24 gerundio missing perl modules: Data::Pagination and HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench 17:25 gerundio outdated: Test::WWW::Mechanize and Archive::Extract 17:25 gerundio do you want the screenshot or is this info suffice? 17:30 gerundio the 1st module seems to be available as "libdata-paginator-perl - Pagination with Moose" ...oO(it should be pagination and not paginator, right?) 17:30 huginn New commit(s) kohagit: DBRev 3.19.00.000: keep moving <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=ae550b8328d24cd104c2040ac4c569c0b8405194> 17:31 gerundio http://search.cpan.org/dist/ApacheBench/lib/HTTPD/Bench/ApacheBench.pm doesn't seem to be available as a debian package 17:33 gerundio tcohen, should I worry about it or deal with this on the following Koha (and SO) updates? 17:34 tcohen tcohen, don't worry about those 17:35 tcohen gerundio: Archive::Extract is needed by the plugins, and the rest is needed for testing and/or solr support (which i guess you don't need) 17:36 tcohen so don't worry 17:38 tcohen gerundio: ok? 17:44 gerundio tcohen, sorry for the hold up, I went away from the keyboard for a while 17:45 gerundio it's fine by me 17:45 tcohen np 17:45 tcohen most people are shifting to packages, so expect them to work almost flawlessly 17:45 tcohen we will fix any issue if you report it 17:47 gerundio tcohen++ thanks, I'll be sure to report any issue as I've been doing so far 17:47 gerundio it's always nice to work with such active open source communities such as Koha 17:49 tcohen gerundio: are u using a local database server or is it separate? 17:49 gerundio local 17:50 gerundio so far we haven't any performance related issues 17:50 tcohen great 17:50 tcohen we had, and it is not straightforward to set on the packages 17:50 gerundio so we haven't really thought about changing the setup 17:51 tcohen we have a mysql cluster for the university, maintained by trained people 17:51 tcohen so we take advantage of it! 17:51 gerundio on that topic, is solr fully supported by know or is zebra the only solution for indexing 17:52 tcohen solr has been completely removed by now 17:52 tcohen (on 3.18) 17:59 gerundio ok, I wasn't aware of that 18:06 tcohen there is a lot of work on integrating ElasticSearch, but that's (at least) for 3.20 18:38 tcohen hi jenkins_koha 18:39 tcohen @later tell rangi I've installed the Zapper plugin on jenkins, you mentioned another solution, please ping me when u can refresh my memory 18:39 huginn tcohen: The operation succeeded. 18:55 rangi @later tell tcohen arachni scanner .. but we want a running koha to run that against 18:55 huginn rangi: The operation succeeded. 18:59 rangi any french or german speakers here?

21:16 wizzyrea of llek? 21:16 wizzyrea it's... special. 21:16 wizzyrea also that email looks trollish to me (the original one) we should not give it press. 21:16 jcamins wizzyrea: it doesn't look the same as Koha did originally? 21:17 wizzyrea it looks like Koha did ~3.6, with some horrible additions that make it look sillier. 21:22 rangi in happier things 21:22 rangi https://twitter.com/ranginui/status/540580799586652161 21:24 jcamins rangi: do you have enough library card to make a menorah, too?

22:39 cait yes 22:39 rangi yay 22:40 aleisha yay!! 22:40 rangi its picking up your language setting 22:40 rangi in your browser 22:40 cait in germany we'd use a thousand dot and a decimal comma 22:40 cait oh nice! 22:40 rangi so its doing it right eh?

22:41 rangi to the 0-15000 bit? 22:42 rangi dunno, aleisha can we? :) 22:42 eythian hi cait 22:42 aleisha i think so! 22:42 cait yay! 22:43 eythian rangi: the localisation of the numbers in the text is correct, but in the graphs, there's no separator at all 22:43 cait eythian: that's what i said :) 22:43 eythian oh 22:43 eythian so you did 22:44 cait eythian: maybe you can explain the elastic search patches to me sometime?
