Time Nick Message
23:50 bag yeah that’s pretty awesome dcook
23:47 Francesca see you guys soon!
23:42 wizzyrea that ending tho
23:41 dcook Best. Thing. Ever.
23:41 wizzyrea hahahahahahaha
23:40 dcook eythian: ^
23:40 * dcook is just going to leave this here: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XR23o6rnjjI/Vwp5F_dkytI/AAAAAAAEE-I/SvaggctTIKg_fCcZkFtopH3TzJoYj80MQ/w426-h237/7b6949a30870c9f9.gif
22:56 tcohen C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm and sms_listen.pl have goto's :-D
22:55 rangi sweet
22:53 tcohen will work on 'overdue_notices.pl should have a test mode' bug, will try to refactor it abit
22:53 tcohen i hate it too :-D hehe
22:52 rangi still confusing though
22:52 tcohen you are right
22:52 * tcohen read the logs
22:51 rangi hehe
22:51 tcohen I hate my mother's wifi router
22:49 rangi thats a continue, not a goto
22:49 wahanui well, the next is packaging manager... do we have a volunteer for that?
22:49 rangi the next?
22:48 wizzyrea oh, if you are poking in overdue_notices you are already down the rabbit hole.
22:47 tcohen nah, a goto
22:47 tcohen it is a hidden goto
22:47 rangi you wouldn't think that would have to be explicitly spelt out
22:46 tcohen overdue_notices.pl:591
22:46 rangi that's already against all guidelines ever
22:46 tcohen sure
22:46 rangi we have goto ?
22:45 tcohen could we add https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd02xx/EWD215.PDF to the coding guidelines at some point?
22:38 rangi no problem
22:37 tcohen thanks wizzyrea rangi
22:34 rangi every 'system' does it a bit differently, and you pretty much have to have their software to read the chips
22:34 rangi yep
22:32 * tcohen has no idea of course
22:32 wizzyrea if you can do that then it'll be fine.
22:32 tcohen rangi: the hardware probably lets you choose a cdefault field
22:32 rangi you can have national id number, library number, whatever else .. all on the same chip
22:31 rangi with rfid, you can store multiple
22:31 rangi the thing with barcode, you can store one thing
22:30 wizzyrea I can't think of a way to keep the ID number, but expire the card that carries it
22:30 rangi yeah
22:30 wizzyrea but you can't change a "national ID number" so you'd probably need a different one.
22:29 wizzyrea it's the standard way, really.
22:29 rangi lots of libraries already do that
22:29 rangi you change the number in Koha
22:29 rangi its just the same as if someone loses a card with a preprinted barcode, and you ahve to give them another
22:29 rangi you could do it that way
22:29 tcohen thus the need for a workflow for assgning new id's to patrons+
22:28 tcohen so they wanted to rely on their unique ID
22:28 tcohen yeah, they were concerned about people re-using lost cards to cheat
22:28 rangi otherwise you're stuck forever :)
22:27 rangi ahhh naw, you want to store your own id on it, lose a card, just put the id on another one
22:26 tcohen so that's it, thanks
22:25 tcohen i thought people relied on the ID of the RFID card
22:25 tcohen so that's all I need to know
22:25 tcohen ah
22:25 rangi if you put more info on the card .. then you are asking for trouble
22:24 rangi the card just has cardnumber
22:24 rangi that doesnt change
22:24 rangi that understand how it is stored and stuff on the card
22:24 tcohen problem is patron DB maintenance
22:24 tcohen yes, I know how the checkout would work
22:24 rangi theres usually a bit of software that comes with the reader
22:24 rangi the reader does all the work
22:23 rangi then end ;)
22:23 rangi like you would scan a barcode
22:23 rangi scan a card
22:23 tcohen so what's the workflow?
22:23 tcohen and then, patrons loose their cards
22:23 tcohen they should just move it somewhere else I guess...
22:22 tcohen this library uses the patron's national ID right now
22:22 rangi yup
22:22 tcohen right?
22:22 tcohen yeah, but you use what is read, as a cardnumber
22:22 rangi (or as a SIP transaction)
22:22 rangi it has no idea how it got into that web browser
22:22 rangi it sees everythign as input from a webbrowser
22:21 rangi e
22:21 rangi koha doesnt even know/car
22:21 tcohen and store the RFID as carnumber?
22:21 rangi or any other rfid reader
22:21 rangi self check machines
22:21 tcohen i'd like to know how you hook it into KOha
22:21 rangi why?
22:21 rangi we host their Koha, so me?
22:20 tcohen who can I talk to about it?
22:20 rangi horowhenua district council
22:20 tcohen hdc?
22:20 tcohen hi rangi
22:20 rangi te takere
22:19 rangi HDC does
22:18 tcohen is anyone using RFID cards for their patrons?
22:09 cait i think first week of august
22:09 cait it is on the wiki :)
22:04 talljoy lazyweb
22:04 wizzyrea isn't it on the wiki?
22:00 bag heya cait do you know when the next general meeting is
22:00 wahanui general meeting is 8 April 2015 at 19:00 UTC
22:00 talljoy general meeting?
22:00 bag general_meeting?
21:35 tcohen we'll miss you nengard!
21:35 tcohen hi
20:37 mveron hi drojf
20:37 drojf hi mveron
20:35 mveron hi rangi
20:35 rangi hi mveron
20:34 mveron Good evening / daytime #koha
20:20 cait i shoudl totally use it more
20:20 cait but it shows the number i think
20:20 cait maybe because it takes the attachements as base for figuring it out
20:20 cait ah
20:19 oleonard Where splitter lists the bug reports which modify a file... It doesn't seem to link to the bug report, just to the attachment
20:19 cait waht did you mean to say?
20:19 cait i had a long day - i might not be thinking very clearly :)
20:18 oleonard I'm bad at keyboards today
20:18 oleonard Sorry
20:18 oleonard yy
20:18 cait oleonard: hm?
20:17 oleonard Does splitter not link directly to bug reports from anywhere?
20:16 cait good to give it some thought
20:16 cait but it's a lot of translation work this will cause too
20:16 cait you have to get creative sometimes... because you can't change sequence
20:15 oleonard I assumed based on the patch that this system wasn't working well for languages other than English. Is that not the case?
20:15 oleonard cait: I agree that the Admin preferences patch is a step back from the point of view of the settings being incorporated into sentences
20:08 drojf oleonard: not sure, only skimmed through it, but i don't think it fixed authorized values
20:08 cait the itemtype bug first was phrased very general
20:08 cait maybe a confusion
20:05 oleonard drojf: That bug is a duplicate of a bug which is marked as fixed.... But fixed in what way?
20:04 drojf hi rangi
20:03 cait morning rangi
20:03 huginn 04Bug 14063: enhancement, P3, ---, veron, RESOLVED DUPLICATE, Implement language overlay for authorised values
20:03 drojf cait: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14063#c4 (yay not confused but i think we don't have it)
20:02 oleonard Hi rangi
20:01 rangi morning
19:59 drojf hm maybe i am just confused. which is very likely
19:59 cait only itemtypes i think - at least i haven't seen the other bug
19:58 drojf i thought i tested that for authorized values
19:58 cait but probably needsto be done one by one... lots of work
19:58 cait i'd really like that for authorisedvalues
19:58 cait and also the translation feature that we have for itemtpes now
19:58 cait yeah it would be nice to add that
19:57 oleonard Maybe that's why I wasn't aware of it.
19:57 oleonard I wish that worked for collection codes too
19:56 cait we set it up in 3.22 just yesterday for a library - so still fresh on my mind:)
19:55 cait it will also use th icon from the authorised value
19:55 cait not from other pages, i think, but it works on the advanced search
19:55 cait yep
19:55 oleonard cait: And it will hide the individual item types you grouped together?
19:54 cait and it will search both itemtypes when you click it
19:54 cait and then the advanced search will only show film as a limit
19:54 cait you put both itemtypes in it
19:54 cait youcould create a group 'fillm'
19:54 cait say you have dvd and video
19:53 cait oleonard: group itemtypes for search
19:53 oleonard Nothing in the help file either
19:51 oleonard In other news, I have no idea what "search categories" are supposed to do
19:50 drojf it's the only one that i had to add 20 times to show stuff. does not mean there are no others, but that one bugs me
19:49 oleonard I guess that's a bug!
19:49 oleonard Interesting that ITEMTYPECAT exists with not values but UPLOAD simply doesn't exist.
19:46 nuentoter oh wow nm i just lack reading skills
19:44 nuentoter ok then i thought my google skills were just lacking, second question to edit the list of "search categories" that show up under the item types list, where do i go?
19:43 drojf awesome quest for a community contribution. find them all, add them to the wiki. for the greater good
19:43 drojf but…
19:43 drojf not a single one :P
19:43 drojf but somewhere in 16000 bugs
19:42 oleonard No there isn't nuentoter, not that I know of.
19:42 drojf if by "page" you mean bugzilla, i am sure it's all in there
19:42 nuentoter yeah like oleonard said lol, is there a page that lists them all?
19:41 drojf true. UPLOAD comes to mind as an annoying example
19:41 nuentoter i know you can create new ones from thin air, but i do believe there are many not implemented by default in the available listing
19:41 oleonard That's where the gap is.
19:41 oleonard drojf: True, but there are authorized values which some features require but which are not created by default in Koha
19:40 drojf i doubt it. as you can create whatever authorized value you want
19:40 nuentoter and is that where i would go to edit the "search category" field in the item types?
19:40 nuentoter so after looking and looking i have a couple questions, is there a listing somewhere of all the possible authorized values categories?
19:13 cait oleonard++
19:11 cait oleonard: figured it out after you had left
19:09 cait pianohacker: so hard to fix?
19:08 cait so it might not have been the selector all along
19:08 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16520 minor, P5 - low, ---, jweaver, Failed QA , Per-virtualhost SetEnvs don't work with Plack
19:08 pianohacker bug 16520
19:08 cait oleonard: i tried that - but it only worekd when i changed hide to remove
19:08 pianohacker woops
19:08 oleonard The value doesn't change with translations
19:08 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16218 trivial, P5 - low, ---, veron, Pushed to Stable , printfeercpt.tt (and others) does not include jQuery
19:08 pianohacker I may just bug 16218 a dep of memcached-in-koha-conf
19:08 oleonard cait: I use this to hide publication date: $("option[value='pubdate_asc']").remove();
19:08 pianohacker hmmmmmmmm
19:06 tcohen and cannot imagine people changing it
19:06 tcohen which defaults to koha_
19:06 tcohen pianohacker: we let the users set the namespace prefix
18:50 pianohacker *apache variables
18:50 pianohacker tcohen: are the debian memcached namespace and server consistent enough that we could hardcode them with instance variables?
18:48 drojf unless that was the question :P
18:46 drojf i'm not, but interested in the question
18:44 tcohen is anyone using rfid cards for their patrons?
18:44 tcohen drojf: that's really good news
18:43 * tcohen dances happily!
18:42 pianohacker (of course, all of this becomes irrelephant if we put memcached back in koha-conf)
18:42 * drojf expected a happy dance from tcohen :P
18:42 pianohacker hmmm
18:40 tcohen they are just included and make use of variables to solve this
18:40 tcohen but the plack ones can
18:40 tcohen so generated files cannot be patched (for now)
18:39 pianohacker wooooooooooooohah
18:38 tcohen ${instance}
18:38 tcohen pianohacker: and then how we use it in apache-shared-*-plack.conf
18:38 * bag happy dancer
18:37 drojf we deprecated wheezy at the dev meeting and drop support at 16.11. do all complaining and/or happy dances now
18:37 tcohen pianohacker: look at apache-site.conf.in
18:37 pianohacker hi drojf !
18:37 pianohacker tcohen: could apache variables work for the memcached namespace?
18:37 drojf hi tcohen and pianohacker
18:37 pianohacker hmmmm
18:36 tcohen started using apache variables for the instance names
18:36 tcohen and the plack ones
18:35 tcohen they are reused on all instances
18:35 tcohen the apache-shared-*.conf files are there in a way we can patch them on upgrade
18:34 tcohen you mean like having one of those files per-instance?
18:33 pianohacker same here man
18:33 pianohacker heh
18:33 pianohacker tcohen: how hard would it be to make __MEMCACHED_*__ replaced in apache-shared-*-plack.conf on debian?
18:33 tcohen (if that was the question)
18:33 tcohen pianohacker: i was born like that, no point trying to fix me
18:32 tcohen shoot
18:32 pianohacker tcohen: Iiiiiii have a question for you :)
18:31 pianohacker hi tcohen!
18:31 kidclamp hi tcohen
18:30 tcohen hi
16:54 kidclamp np
16:54 cait thx for sharing the trick kidclamp++
16:53 kidclamp :-)
16:53 cait it's still really odd
16:53 kidclamp ie--
16:53 kidclamp ti works sometimes with out, the span seems to guarantee
16:53 cait i will keep that in mind
16:53 kidclamp yeah {selector}.wrap(<span>).hide()
16:52 cait $("option:contains('Erwerbungsdatum')").remove(); works apparently
16:52 cait $("option:contains('Acquisition date')").remove();
16:52 cait i hate IE.
16:52 cait adding an element and then hide it?
16:52 kidclamp wrap the option in a span then hide cait, that seems to work better
16:51 cait hm hide to remove
16:51 cait oleonard-away: changing remove to hide worked... ...
16:50 cait $("option:contains('Acquisition date')").hide(); doesn't work either :(
16:48 cait oleonard++ thx for taking a look
16:45 cait oleonard-away: translations change, so avoiding going for the text woudl have been nice
16:45 cait oleonard-away: sorry, was dealing with another ticket...
16:44 cait oleonard-away: hm?
16:34 oleonard ...but it's just two <option>s right? So you could run two commands with specific values instead.
16:33 oleonard cait: No I don't know why it doesn't work.
16:27 cait 11
16:27 cait ie 1
16:26 cait 3.22 koha
16:26 cait or the advanced search page
16:26 cait the result list in opac
16:25 oleonard cait: What page? And which version of IE?
16:24 cait i try to avoid using the text - as I need mroe lines for german and english then and any other language that might get added
16:23 cait i am trying tot hide the acquisition date sort for an archive - it doesn't make sense for them
16:23 cait it doesn't seem to like using the attribute as a selector... is my guess... but gr.
16:23 cait oleonard: can you tell why $("option[value*='acqdate']").hide(); wouldn't work in IE but does in firefox?
16:22 cait ie--
16:03 oleonard Not just good practice, but a precursor to moving JS out of the header and into the footer
16:02 oleonard Oh yeah, now I remember why I went down the rabbit hole of removing "onclick"
15:55 gaetan_B bye
15:41 khall bye!
15:40 drojf #later #koha
15:40 * drojf heads home
15:40 cait as specially stuff that shoudl not sort? :)
15:39 cait a general question: has anyone worked with sorting in zebra?
15:39 cait thx all for attending

15:39 cait hm 7 am
15:38 cait trying to see what that is in nz but failing
15:38 cait let's try
15:38 Joubu still late for me, but if it can help to get other devs, it's ok for me (who?)
15:37 Joubu I don't know, I let you decide
15:37 wahanui somebody said 19 utc was fine by me.
15:37 cait 19 utc?
15:37 Joubu wow, not ok :)
15:37 cait rather late in europe... better in other places
15:36 wahanui somebody said 21 utc was fine and might be better for local time adjustments.
15:36 cait 21 utc ?
15:36 wahanui it has been said that which time is better for my area? 10:00+0000 or 22:00+0000?
15:36 cait which time?
15:36 Joubu k
15:36 cait august 10?
15:36 cait maybe a week after?
15:36 cait the next general meeting is august 3
15:36 reiveune bye
15:36 cait #topic Set time of next meeting
15:35 cait are we ready to se tthe date for the next meeting?
15:34 Joubu and the others on the graph I paste earlier
15:34 cait #info Joubu started move of C4::Members to Koha::Patrons
15:34 cait #info read Joubu's summary emails "what's on in koha-devel"! :)
15:33 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16846 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, ASSIGNED , Move patron related code to Koha::Patron
15:33 Joubu see bug 16846 and related
15:33 cait Joubu++
15:33 Joubu I have started the move of C4::Members to Koha::Patrons
15:33 Joubu like that devs won't have excuse not to follow/know what is going on
15:32 Joubu to summarise what's happen on bugzilla and koha-devel ML
15:32 cait we have a lto of people ignoring the warning in the release notes or not reading it
15:32 cait I'd like to get some focus on them if possible
15:32 Joubu The last 2 months I have sent a "what's on in koha-devel" email
15:31 cait ah... I had wanted to compile a list about mysql 5.x bugs - but I didn't get to it
15:31 cait Joubu: do you have something for QA?
15:31 cait i think they contain a lot of good info
15:31 cait and a thank you to Joubu for his summaries
15:31 cait first... sorry for the absence - I hope to improve on that
15:30 khall ha!
15:30 cait #topic Updates from the QA team
15:29 morgane bye !
15:29 cait ok
15:29 cait hehe yes
15:29 Joubu just kidding, you can move on something else
15:29 drojf by deprecating stuff when they are not looking
15:29 Joubu :D
15:29 Joubu How can we motivate other devs to attempt dev meetings?
15:29 cait go for it :)
15:29 cait ah ok
15:29 Joubu I have a question, if we have finished with the this topic
15:29 cait moving on
15:28 cait ok sorry
15:28 cait #action oleonard to start a mailing list thread about the frontend build tool
15:26 oleonard whoops, focus!
15:26 oleonard gro
15:25 khall thanks!
15:25 oleonard Yes
15:25 cait oleonard? :)
15:24 cait #action khall to add react/angular and frontend build to to next agenda ;)
15:24 khall oleonard: would you be willing to start a mailing list thread?
15:24 khall both I think
15:23 cait or maybe ask for ideas on the mailing list?
15:23 cait shudl we put this as a topic on the next agenda?
15:23 khall oleonard: it's like apt-get but for javascript libraries
15:22 cait #info cait would be interested in an online api tutorial - how to set it up, test, validate etc.
15:22 khall I think Gulp is the way to go. Bower is great for js deps. We could manage all our libraries using Bower. jQuery and such
15:22 oleonard I'm not really familiar with Bower
15:21 oleonard We never reached a consensus, although pianohacker volunteered to build custom packages for something like Gulp if that would move it forward.
15:20 khall what do we want to use? Gulp and Bower?
15:19 khall oleonard: how's that going?
15:19 oleonard I hate to see any major changes to our JavaScript infrastructure before we get a front-end build tool in place.
15:19 khall let's vote on that since he's not here : ) =
15:18 khall I volunteer Julian ; )
15:18 cait how to activate, how to test, how to validate... whatever comes to mind
15:18 khall cait: I think that's an excellent idea!
15:18 cait one of the things I didn't achieve at the hackfest... missed out on that
15:18 cait i'd be happy if we could do a little api tutorial sometime
15:17 khall also a good reason to move on from wheezy to jessie
15:17 Joubu :)
15:17 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14974 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Patch doesn't apply , Use the REST API for cities
15:17 Joubu in that case, I am waiting for an example on bug 14974 for month
15:17 khall *but* first we need to get the API enabled by default
15:17 cait #info more information in chat log about this - not easy to info all :)
15:17 khall Joubu: yes, I think that should absolutely be done
15:17 cait #action khall to provide a proof of concept for using React in Koha
15:17 Joubu khall: does it make sense to use React to call the rest api?
15:17 oleonard Yes, coordinating with kivilahtio sounds sensible
15:16 khall cait: sure!
15:16 khall I wrote the item messages feature using Angular, I'll rewrite it using React
15:16 cait :)
15:16 cait can i action that?
15:16 khall oleonard: yes, that's the plan! I'm going to start with something small
15:16 cait would it make sense to ask kivilahtio for his list?
15:16 Joubu what I was going to ask for
15:16 oleonard khall: Are you interested enough in it to put together a proof of concept?
15:15 khall excellent! Just looking for input, I don't want to code myself into a corner ; )
15:15 drojf i like easier to learn
15:15 Joubu I dont remember the details, but he had a big list of pros/cons
15:15 wahanui okay, khall.
15:15 khall React is also easier to learn
15:15 Joubu kivilahtio presented the diff between these 2 frameworks and his conclusion was the same as yours: React is better
15:14 drojf i'm happy to learn a little of one of them. after you decide what you want to use ;) not qualified to pick one
15:14 khall I think we need to pick just one
15:14 khall I'm sure it's possible with Angular as well, but Angular is much "heavier"
15:13 khall we just tell the widget "show the data for this patron" and it does it's thing
15:13 khall or the checkouts table, or the holds table
15:13 khall Consider the patron info sidebar, that could be converted to a React widget that could be used across multiple pages
15:13 khall so it would greatly simplify our code if we used react
15:12 khall b) React is all about create "widgets" which we could re-use from page to page
15:12 khall a) we already have a code base, Angular is more happy being the app, it doesn't share well ; )
15:12 cait #info Topic: thoughts on Angular vs React
15:11 khall I think React is a better fit because:
15:11 cait Joubu: if someone wants to fight the decision... they always can next meeting :)
15:11 khall cait: exactly
15:11 cait but maybe... pick only one please
15:11 Joubu (The rewrite work is on https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=15449, but I have already paste this number thousands of times)
15:11 drojf Joubu: none against it :P
15:11 cait React seems to be somewhat... hotter? right now - but I don't have any technical knowledge/views :(
15:11 khall I think the nature of Koha would make React better suited
15:10 khall I'm interested in thoughts on Angular vs React
15:10 Joubu 4 votes for deprecating wheezy...
15:10 cait does someone have something he/she wants to add?
15:10 cait ther is nothing listed under this topic
15:10 bag hola
15:10 cait #topic General development discussion (trends, ideas, ...)
15:09 cait and hi bag ;)
15:09 cait moving on
15:09 drojf so long, wheezy
15:09 cait ok?
15:09 bag woot
15:09 cait #action bag to add a note to the next release notes
15:09 cait #agreed Wheezy is officially deprecated
15:09 huginn yes (4): Joubu, cait, drojf, khall
15:09 huginn Voted on "Should we officially deprecate Debian Wheezy?" Results are
15:09 cait #endvote
15:08 cait done?
15:08 Joubu #vote yes
15:08 drojf lol eythian
15:08 cait #vote yes
15:08 drojf #vote yes
15:08 khall #vote yes
15:08 eythian if you vote no, you are offering to support it :)
15:08 huginn Vote using '#vote OPTION'. Only your last vote counts.
15:08 huginn Begin voting on: Should we officially deprecate Debian Wheezy? Valid vote options are , yes, no, abstain, .
15:08 cait #startvote Should we officially deprecate Debian Wheezy? (yes,no,abstain)
15:07 khall cait: yes, I think we should vote
15:07 khall drojf: I don't think there is one ; )
15:07 cait shoudl we vote?
15:07 cait ?
15:07 drojf what is a valid reason not to uprade your server operating system?
15:07 cait probably they shoudl be using a supported current OS
15:06 drojf oleonard: i don't know and i don't know how we could find out about it
15:06 cait #info Deprecating Wheezy because of problems with ES, Plack, Apache 2.4 - will mean: note in release notes, not fixing bugs specific to wheezy, not backporting from packaging side
15:06 drojf it will probably work for a while, apart from some things. don#t know. i would not mind backporting security stuff for a little longer. but not all of catmandu and things like that
15:06 oleonard Does it have the potential to exclude Koha users because they are unable to upgrade for some reason?
15:05 cait ok
15:05 drojf because those might get a lot
15:05 drojf not backporting whatever things. from the packaging side
15:05 cait not fixing bugs related only to wheezy?
15:04 khall drojf: indeed!
15:04 cait what woudl be the consequences? a note in the release notes
15:04 cait shall we vote on that?
15:04 drojf and apache 2.4 in general
15:04 cait good list :)
15:04 cait ok
15:04 khall cait: well, plack and elastic
15:04 cait so that we coudl say... due to this that and so... it will be deprecated
15:04 drojf list of what?
15:04 cait do we have a kind of list?
15:04 drojf 16.11 may be the "ES in koha" release (don't know the status), so i think it would make sense to have the cut then
15:04 khall np ; )
15:03 cait sorry, got confused
15:03 khall too many important things don't work in wheezy
15:03 cait aah
15:03 khall that is, drop official wheezy support in 16.11
15:03 cait 16.11?
15:02 khall I think we should just go ahead and deprecate it, and drop support for 16.11
15:01 drojf *question
15:01 drojf related quetion: are there a lot of people still using wheezy, and for what reasons?
15:01 drojf so we do not fully support wheezy any longer. do we want to "support" it at all, or just label it deprecated? like, announce it now, drop support for 16.11
15:01 drojf AFAIK, we add more things that won't work in wheezy. like plack out of the box (and all other apache 2.4 related things that may come) and elasticsearch (unless i'm mistaken here)
15:01 drojf i think we agreed that if we want to abandon wheezy at some point, we would have to announce we deprecate support for it before.
15:01 cait drojf: ?
15:00 cait #topic Deprecate support for Debian Wheezy?
15:00 cait ok
15:00 cait #action Jobuu to provide a list of bug numbers waiting for QA in that area atm
15:00 cait #action khall volunteers to focus on rewrite patches for QA
14:59 khall shall we move on?
14:59 khall we're wandering off topic
14:59 khall Joubu wil get me the bug numbers and I'll take a look!
14:59 cait I was focusing on the 'bugs' the last 2 days, trying to get back into things
14:59 cait I think some are in the signed off state already
14:58 cait sounds good
14:58 khall if you can find someone for sign-offs, we could add focus and speed to your project
14:58 khall I'd volunteer for the qa part
14:58 khall Joubu: I think we need a special ops team. You to write, someone to sign off, and someone to qa
14:57 khall I think the writing is on the wall for 15759. I thought it was clever and interesting at least.
14:57 Joubu If these patches could be pushed in an easier/quicker way, I could continue the same job for other modules
14:56 khall ok, put that in the actions ; )
14:56 Joubu instead of mixing objects and hashrefs
14:56 Joubu and it will help to manipulate objects and only objects
14:56 cait true :)
14:55 Joubu moving code from C4 to Koha
14:55 Joubu I have plenty of patches waiting for signoff and QA
14:55 Joubu I do!
14:53 khall but, I must ask, who is going to volunteer to do that?
14:53 khall the argument against it is "we should be rewriting all that code instead"
14:53 cait for the reasons alex and other stated
14:53 khall I think it would give us a *huge* leap on improving our code
14:52 * Joubu whispers yes
14:52 cait i think i lean more onto not doing it
14:51 khall does everyone here know about bug 15759?
14:50 Joubu :)
14:50 khall I'm be willing to reopen it
14:50 Joubu so I don't really know if it's stilll valid
14:50 khall I'd still be open to discussion if anyone is interested
14:49 * oleonard_ gets a stiff neck from watching all the discussions go over his head
14:49 Joubu khall closed the bug
14:49 cait do we need more discussion or are we ready for a vote?
14:48 cait so for the next topic there has been some discussion and also on the mailing list
14:47 cait so a vote won't be necessary then
14:47 cait i hope the opinions will be one onse side or the other
14:47 cait thx
14:47 vfernandes sorry!
14:47 drojf Joubu: you wanted to abstain :P
14:47 Joubu but I will ask on the ML
14:47 Joubu I think authors (me included) would prefer not to rebase them for 1 year :)
14:47 cait ah
14:46 Joubu well, we have 2 big patches waiting for QA, so it's not so urgent but...
14:46 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15759 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, RESOLVED WONTFIX, Allow Koha::Object derived objects to be used as hashrefs
14:46 cait #info Topic: Allow Koha::Objects to be used as hashrefs ( Bug 15759 )
14:46 drojf vfernandes: we are in a meeting
14:46 oleonard_ vfernandes: we are in a meeting right now
14:46 cait moving on
14:46 vfernandes there is any easy way or any report to verify which records have repeated authorities?
14:46 cait #action ... and action item is in effect again
14:46 drojf ok
14:46 cait if there is no conclusion, we will have a vote next meeting
14:46 khall agreed
14:46 cait so i think mailing list would be ok
14:46 cait i think it's not super urgent - but shoudl be resolved
14:46 cait so mailing list? or vote this, that, ml? heh
14:45 marcelr more info
14:45 Joubu I will abstain :D
14:45 drojf marcelr: do you expect new input on the topic? or just postpone it to "not now"?
14:45 cait marcelr: 2 seconds earlier...
14:45 vfernandes hi #koha
14:45 marcelr i vote for mailing list
14:45 cait #action ... delete last action
14:44 cait so we do vote
14:44 cait ok
14:44 drojf so if we have 2 people agreeing on something, i am all for that
14:44 Joubu we have at least patron and record (biblio+auth) and we could add reports, etc.
14:44 drojf +1 for consistency is my only opinion
14:44 khall so I'm now in favor of Joubu's choice if that matters ; )
14:44 khall indeed
14:43 oleonard_ It's hard to plan for what we think we /might/ do in the future.
14:43 khall Joubu: ok, I'll through my hat in your ring ; )
14:43 khall drojf: I think that's the case. I think Joubu is championing Koha::Export::Patron::CSV
14:43 Joubu that was the idea
14:43 khall now if we built a system where we could import and export arbitrary objects ( patrons, libraries, etc ) then Koha::Export::Patron::CSV would make a lot more sense
14:42 drojf so we don't have a lot of opinions, but rather none in particular?
14:42 Joubu I have plenty of other questions for devs, so I will shoot all of them in an email to koha-devel
14:42 cait #action Joubu to ask on the mailing list about which namespace scheme should be used for the 'export things'
14:42 khall but again, I don't think the choice is that important, the consistency is
14:41 khall I think drojf brings up a good thought though, I think Koha::Patron::Export::CSV is more "CPAN-like"
14:41 Joubu drojf: thanks, I will have a look at their code then
14:41 cait ah they have exporter
14:40 * nengard is confused about what we're voting on
14:40 * drojf contributes random information
14:40 cait i'd say,... ask on the mailing list and count that out after a week or so
14:40 drojf not that it matters in any way, but catmandu has Catmandu::Exporter::CSV
14:40 cait :)
14:40 khall cait: you'd like florida then ; )
14:40 marcelr is the focus export first or patron first ?
14:40 oleonard_ Yeah, not enough opinionated voters here today I think
14:40 khall I would probably abstain as well
14:40 cait but... pink is pretty!
14:39 marcelr it depends on the focus of the code
14:39 cait i woudl abstain i think - not sure either way
14:39 Joubu as we will get this color for ages, I'd prefer not to have my house pink
14:39 cait not sure we will have a clear vote
14:39 khall Joubu: why not just decide now? It's like we're arguing over what color to paint the house ; )
14:39 Joubu just thought dev meeting would be appropriate to get feedbacks
14:38 cait and state it clearly
14:38 cait yeah, ask so they pick one
14:38 khall ok, I think we need to just have a majority rule vote. We're bikeshedding ; )
14:38 Joubu ok I will ask on the mailing list...
14:38 khall that's not bad either
14:37 Joubu or Koha::Export::Patron::CSV
14:37 khall I think the former makes more sense
14:37 khall Koha::Export::CSV::Patron?
14:37 khall vs
14:37 khall Koha::Patron::Export::CSV
14:37 Joubu and we will want to centralise some of these functions under the same namespace
14:37 khall Joubu: yes, I agree with that. We should pick one or the other
14:36 Joubu We will want to export in csv, odt, pdf, etc.
14:36 cait i think we have no inheritance, is that right? as kyle said, there is no exporter object?
14:36 Joubu khall: no, but it's bad if they both exist :)
14:36 cait hm
14:35 Joubu anyone else?
14:35 khall yep, I don't think either one is really "better" than the other
14:34 Joubu can be Koha::Import|Export::Objects instead
14:34 khall personally, I like how Koha::Object::Export and Koha::Object::Import read, it really revolves around the object, and not the "Exporter" which is a thing that doesn't exist
14:32 cait exporter sounds a little odd to me - so from language.. maybe i'd look under patrons first
14:32 Joubu My opinion is that having Koha::Exporter|Importer::Stuffs will add the ability to have a Koha::Exporter::Importer to group export/import methods, if we have to
14:32 cait i am all for concistency... but I don't have a strong prefrence there
14:31 Joubu of Koha::Patrons::Export|Import and Koha::Records::Export|Import
14:31 marcelr consistency++
14:31 Joubu we should have either Koha::Exporter::Record(s?) and Koha::Exporter::Patron(s?)
14:30 Joubu that does not make sense to have both
14:30 Joubu and 12598 adds a Koha::Patrons::Import
14:30 Joubu I have added Koha::Exporter::Record in 14722
14:30 Joubu It's just about the name/structure of the import/export new modules we are going to add
14:30 cait again, i need some help here about the context please

14:29 cait moving on to next topic
14:29 cait do we have a page about benchmarking/tools? might be good to link if we have - to give some hints
14:28 cait #action khall to add new benchmark rule to the coding guidelines
14:28 khall cait: I will
14:28 cait who is going to add it?
14:28 huginn khall: The operation succeeded.
14:28 khall @later tell oleonard this looks interesting https://nosir.github.io/cleave.js/
14:28 huginn yes (7): Joubu, cait, oleonard, marcelr, druthb, khall, drojf
14:28 huginn Voted on "new coding guideline: performance and chache related patches should include benchmarks of some sort to prove their effects. Question?" Results are
14:28 cait #agreed new coding guideline: performance and chache related patches should include benchmarks of some sort to prove their effects.

14:27 drojf #vote yes
14:27 druthb #vote yes

14:27 cait i have to add a question mark somewhere... so it works
14:27 Joubu #vote yes
14:27 marcelr #vote yes
14:27 khall #vote yes
14:27 huginn Vote using '#vote OPTION'. Only your last vote counts.
14:27 huginn Begin voting on: new coding guideline: performance and chache related patches should include benchmarks of some sort to prove their effects. Question? Valid vote options are , yes, no, .
14:27 khall ?
14:27 cait #startvote new coding guideline: performance and chache related patches should include benchmarks of some sort to prove their effects. Question? (yes,no)
14:26 marcelr whats in a drama
14:26 khall marcelr: I think that's a slippery slope ; )
14:26 cait marcelr: would be nice if that was a given heh :)
14:25 khall I think so. Should we do a vote?
14:25 marcelr or: patches should not dramatically impact performance ?
14:25 cait performance patches should improve performance gain?
14:25 cait so shoudl we just add one rule for now?
14:25 cait #action Joubu is going to check if some performance testing can be included in the qa scripts (launch a series of tests and compare diff)
14:25 marcelr lots of success :)
14:24 Joubu yes please do :)
14:24 cait i will log an action for that :)
14:24 cait cool
14:24 khall that would definitely lower the bar. Thanks!
14:24 khall Joubu: that would be very useful!
14:24 Joubu and compare the diff
14:24 Joubu That could launch a series of tests before and after the patches applied
14:23 Joubu I will check if I can add some benchmarks in the qa tools (optional) for QA
14:23 khall It makes sense for performance patches, but I think we've got plenty of hoops to jump through already ; )
14:22 khall Yes, but it's also another hurdle that developers have to jump.
14:22 marcelr but yes, not to quick
14:22 marcelr wouldn't hurt to have a general rule to ask for benchmarks where we doubt
14:22 khall I think if we are going to be able to ask for benchmarks on non-cache patches, the bar should be set fairly high.
14:21 khall Joubu: I don't really recall to be honest.
14:21 Joubu khall: What's the context? Did you ask for a specific patchset?
14:20 cait hm nothing for speed, benchmark or performance in there...
14:20 cait checking the coding guidelines one sec
14:19 cait i think we once agreed that if we have doubts about a patch - like if we are afraid it will slow down things significantly, that qa can ask for benchmarks
14:17 Joubu we could provide a bunch of lines testing the cache speed
14:17 marcelr some other patches could use benchmarks too ?
14:17 khall agreed
14:17 cait I think it's also likely to speed thing up if people see there is somethign to gain
14:17 cait hm I must say it sounds logical to me for this kind of patches
14:17 Joubu yep
14:16 khall Joubu: it sounds like your in favor of it then?
14:16 Joubu say*
14:16 Joubu khall: I'd it's like unit tests for method/subroutine changes, if you think your patch adds speed improvements, you must prove it :)
14:15 marcelr #info Marcel
14:15 khall Joubu does, so we should probably just put it in the guidelines
14:14 khall yes. The idea being that if a patch is only about speed improvements, should the author be required to post data proving there is a speed increase
14:14 Joubu I think I provide benchmarks for these kind of changes
14:14 cait khall: can you explain a bit about the context please?
14:14 wahanui the context is everything?
14:14 Joubu khall: what's the context?
14:14 Joubu It seems that khall did
14:13 cait #info Should cache-only bugs require benchmarks to prove confirm speed improvements?
14:13 cait Someone has put up a question for discussion:

14:06 Joubu :)
14:05 khall me too
14:05 oleonard I thought so
14:05 Joubu Was not supposed to be a meeting now?
14:04 Joubu hi #koha
13:25 nengard I talk about that all the time
13:25 nengard I love the bikes
13:25 nengard :)
13:25 oleonard Books, magazines, DVDs, audio CDs, tablets, laptops, bicycles, pocket digital projectors, infrared thermometers
13:24 test__ oleonard: What kinda things do you guys have in your library?
13:06 nengard morning
12:51 oleonard Yes test__ , people are here. Do you have a Koha question?
12:37 test__ Hi, anyone here?
12:30 marcelr hello LibraryClaire
12:30 LibraryClaire hi marcelr
12:18 marcelr hi #koha
11:01 LibraryClaire :D
11:01 wahanui i heard lunch was a good idea :)
11:01 LibraryClaire lunch...
10:59 LibraryClaire heh
10:57 eythian lack of empathy, casual cruelty, self-focused, ... sounds like an appropriate post for a cat then.
10:55 LibraryClaire currently the country's most popular politician
10:54 LibraryClaire that's Larry :)
10:53 eythian https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CnPUMEZXgAErRbS.jpg:large <-- LibraryClaire
09:37 LibraryClaire yeah
09:34 wahanui the best is probably the CSS-only one.
09:34 drojf the best
09:34 LibraryClaire no meeting
09:31 eythian maybe I should build a lightning detector, I have spare computer things that need projects.
09:30 eythian or the proxy here is being awful
09:30 eythian https://www.lightningmaps.org/blitzortung/europe/index.php?lang=nl <-- unfortunately the realtime stuff seems to currently be broken
09:29 wahanui meeting is in two days, i thought was tomorrow. plenty of time then
09:29 LibraryClaire meeting...
09:29 * LibraryClaire pats wahanui
09:29 wahanui well, the best is probably the CSS-only one.
09:29 LibraryClaire the best
09:29 drojf good timing
09:28 LibraryClaire it rained yesterday for 25minutes of my 30 minute run
09:28 eythian drojf: they manage their water better here, part of being below sea level
09:27 eythian saw the flashes out the window and everyone was all " .. was that lightning?", and then 20 seconds later the thunder arrived.
09:27 drojf i have the most rain ever now
