hi there osmoze |
15:51 |
|
kados |
osmoze: did you happen to see my message to koha-devel requesting updates on work for 3.0? |
15:51 |
|
kados |
osmoze: are there any projects you're working on that I should include? |
15:52 |
|
kados |
indradg: same question for you :-) |
17:34 |
|
indradg |
hi |
17:34 |
|
indradg |
kados, was away |
17:36 |
|
akn |
hello people |
17:36 |
|
indradg |
akn, hi |
17:38 |
|
akn |
I'm working on searching with the z3950 client in v.2.2.4. Are there known issues that make this more than a no-brainer? |
17:38 |
|
indradg |
akn, well.. it works out of the box for me... |
17:40 |
|
indradg |
akn, what is processz3950queue script showing in your case... when u try a z39.50 search? |
17:42 |
|
akn |
let me check and get back with you. The z3950 log didn't seem to be too helpful. |
17:45 |
|
akn |
This is what I get running it after a search: Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .)... |
17:45 |
|
akn |
...at ./processz3950queue line 5.' |
17:45 |
|
indradg |
aah |
17:46 |
|
indradg |
akn, where have u installed Koha? |
17:46 |
|
indradg |
brb... disconnecting this comp |
17:47 |
|
akn |
at 'usr/local/koha' |
17:48 |
|
indradg |
akn, can u tell me the path to the folder where u have installed koha? |
17:49 |
|
akn |
it's at '/usr/local/koha/' etc |
17:49 |
|
indradg |
ok |
17:50 |
|
indradg |
so before you try to run the ./processz3950queue script do this -> export PERL5LIB=/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules |
17:50 |
|
indradg |
akn, and then invoke the script |
17:51 |
|
indradg |
for example in my case when I search for "Schindler's List"... i get the following output from the script -> |
17:51 |
|
indradg |

akn, it works! |
17:54 |
|
akn |
indradg, what am I missing? What about thd's export suggestion? |
17:54 |
|
thd |
akin the part people have difficulty with seems be getting the results to appear in the browser popup window. |
17:55 |
|
akn |
thd, exactly! |
17:56 |
|
thd |
akin: KOHA_CONF should have the same value that it has in /etc/koha.conf |
17:58 |
|
thd |
akin: what OS are you running Koha on? |
17:59 |
|
akn |
thd, SUSE 9.3 |
17:59 |

akn |

18:00 |
|
kados |
indradg: you still here? |
18:00 |
|
indradg |
kados, yup... but fairly sleepy ;) |
18:00 |
|
thd |
There are several issues for the popup |
18:00 |
|
kados |
indradg: I'm wondering whether you had a chance to read the latest mail i sent to koha-devel |
18:00 |
|
kados |
indradg: and whether you had any commitments i should know about for 3.0 |
18:00 |

akn |

kados, i did... and i felt it was vainly disguised attempt to get dumb (PHP) folks like me in learning to perl coding ;-) |
18:01 |
|
kados |
indradg: hehe |
18:02 |
|
indradg |
kados, but seriosly... the few things i've playing around with are |
18:02 |
|
indradg |
kados, a) web-based installer (like wordpress and moodle) |
18:02 |
|
kados |
interesting |
18:03 |
|
indradg |
rather I shud say "configurator" |
18:03 |
|
kados |
right |
18:04 |
|
indradg |
b) a module to generate member ID cards from inside Koha -- i'm using glabels to generate the template |
18:04 |
|
kados |
could you expand on that one a bit? |
18:04 |
|
kados |
what exactly does it do? print out the card itself? |
18:05 |
|
kados |
that'd be a killer feature to demo at a con :-) |
18:05 |
|
indradg |
yes... thats the objective... using the users table |
18:05 |
|
kados |
nice |
18:05 |
|
thd |
kados: I will commit to to providing MARC-8 to and ISO 5426 to UTF8 support by April. |
18:05 |
|
indradg |
parse the file and generate the PDF... |
18:05 |
|
kados |
indradg: anything else? |
18:05 |
|
kados |
thd: excellent! |
18:05 |
|
kados |
thd: thanks |
18:05 |
|
kados |
thd: have you been following the MARC::Charset discussion on perl4lib? |
18:06 |
|
thd |
kados: Are we losing contributions from paul for six months? |
18:06 |
|
kados |
thd: not sure |
18:06 |
|
kados |
thd: you'll have to ask paul or hdl |
18:06 |
|
kados |
thd: (I hope not :-)) |
18:07 |
|
thd |
kados: no, I only pay attention to that list very retrospectively. |
18:07 |
|
kados |
thd: it's a good converstaion, might be worth looking at |
18:07 |
|
kados |
thd: subject is "MARC-8 to UTF-8 conversion" |
18:08 |
|
thd |
kados: I will have a look. |
18:08 |
|
indradg |
kados, yes... a set of scripts to grab ISO images of CDs and hosted on a web-server using loopback and autofs and linked to MARC field 856 u (for CDs accompanying books) |
18:08 |
|
indradg |
kados, right now its an ugly hack... i'm trying to clean it up for a client |
18:09 |
|
akn |
indradg and thd: thanks for your help; I'll dig about a bit and see if I can iron it out. |
18:10 |
|
kados |
indradg: nice |
18:11 |
|
kados |
indradg: so think you can clean up this stuff enough for our schedule for 3.0? |
18:11 |
|
kados |
indradg: (ie, can you make it into 3.0?) |
18:11 |
|
kados |
indradg: http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/koh[…]ge=KohaRoadmap3.0 |
18:11 |
|
kados |
indradg: planning is at the bottom of the page |
18:13 |
|
thd |
kados: I have been trying to download the Koha CVS tree from Savannah using async. I have not got around my error messages yet. |
18:14 |
|
kados |
thd: doing it anonymously? |
18:14 |
|
kados |
thd: using pserver? |
18:14 |
|
kados |
thd: or just cvs co -d:thd@... |
18:14 |
|
thd |
kados: I have been trying to capture the CVS in place for maintaining a local copy with all revisions. |
18:14 |
|
indradg |
kados, the CD imaging + loopback + autofs + MARC linkup has to roll out by end Jan 2006... should be done much before that |
18:15 |
|
kados |
thd: you may need to tell savannah about your server's rsa key |
18:15 |
|
kados |
indradg: any chance you can commit it to HEAD so I can take a look? |
18:15 |
|
thd |
kados: I had told savannah my key. |
18:15 |
|
indradg |
kados, gimme a week |
18:16 |
|
kados |
indradg: great, thanks! |
18:16 |
|
indradg |
np :) |
18:16 |
|
kados |
indradg: how about another livecd? can I put you down for that too? |
18:17 |
|
indradg |
kados, sure thing! |
18:17 |
|
thd |
kados: you would have had some bug fixes from me a month ago except that I have not had any significant experience with CVS previously. |
18:19 |
|
thd |
kados: I have been using rsync. CVS will not capture the revision files only the state at a particular time. |
18:21 |
|
thd |
kados: I had not realised previously how bad a problem it is that CVS is not a distributed system. |
18:24 |
|
thd |
kados: If you have no experience using rsync against a CVS archive, I will ask the Savannah people after some more experimentation. |
18:25 |
|
kados |
thd: I don't sorry |
18:27 |
|
thd |
kados: Do you know any other method for capturing all revisions for a local copy instead of just one state? |
18:30 |
|
kados |
thd: I'm not sure what the purpose is |
18:32 |
|
thd |
kados: I want to experiment with the CVS revisions on my own system to understand better how it works and compare my own diffs locally against historical versions before committing.. |
18:32 |
|
kados |
thd: I think you're making it too complicated |
18:33 |
|
kados |
thd: just grab the latest stuff, get it working, and put your revisions in and commit it back |
18:33 |
|
kados |
thd: (my opinion of course :-)) |
18:35 |
|
thd |
kados: I know that is the CVS way which is why distributed systems have great advantages. I am trying to obtain some distributed advantages even on CVS without having them actually built in to the revision control system itself. |
18:36 |
|
thd |
kados: I make it no more complex than what it should be in the first place :) |
18:38 |
|
thd |
kados: I do not complexify, the CVS system oversimplifies an intrinsically more complex process with which I have inadequate experience. |
18:44 |
|
thd |
kados: Ordinarily under CVS, some complexity is transferred to user behaviour in working with the system. I do not understand for example how to best ensure that my revision marked rev XX will be recognised as XX if someone else is also committing to the same file. Is it merely infrequency of revision that protects against this? |
18:47 |
|
thd |
kados: I mean code is marked as corresponding to a revision by revision comment when there is no guarantee that CVS will a sign that revision number if anyone else may be committing. |
18:50 |
|
thd |
kados: revisions have numbered cements within the file. CVS assigns revision numbers to the file. What ensures that both numbers match? |
18:50 |
|
chris |
you let cvs make the comments |
18:50 |
|
chris |
in the file |
18:51 |
|
kados |
thd: if someone else commits (or is in the process of committing) you have to update your version before you can commit |
18:51 |
|
thd |
chris: I was suspecting that but wanted to see that actually work before committing the wrong way. |
18:51 |
|
chris |
it works fine |
18:51 |
|
chris |
i do it every day :) |
18:52 |
|
thd |
kados: That much I did understand. |
18:52 |
|
chris |

18:53 |
|
chris |
thats what the Id expands out too |
18:54 |
|
thd |
kados: Your last point is but one of the arguments for a distributed system where the system partly addresses the currency itself. |
18:58 |
|
thd |
chris: All my previous coding has been non-collaborative and I have never had to think carefully about how revision control works in practise. I maintained my own archive tree that I understood better than any revision control system. |
18:59 |
|
chris |
righto |
19:00 |
|
chris |
the main thing .. and this goes with whatever system you use .. is good comments |
19:00 |
|
chris |
if you write good comments explaining what you were seeking to achieve and why .. that plus the diff allows people to follow what you were doing |
19:00 |
|
chris |
(cvs commit comments im talking about) |
19:04 |
|
thd |
chris: I had read that CVS did not support some type of comments so my expectation that you provided had been mislead. I expected that there had to be some functional way that users controlled this in their own behaviour in including CVS comments directly within the file. |
19:05 |
|
thd |
chris: I am pleased to know that works as I had originally expected before I was mislead. |
19:06 |
|
thd |
chris: As we discussed before most code itself needs more comments "warning insufficient POD" |
19:10 |
|
chris |
yep always |
19:22 |
|
thd |
akn: If you have an email address for me, I can send you a list of things to check based on my experiences helping people with Z39.50 in Koha. They will also be in the FAQ in future but the Red Hat users seem to give up on Z39.50. This should also work much more easily in Koha 3.0. |
19:24 |
|
thd |
akn: Sorry, I had posted that message earlier but it seemed to have not been recognised. |
19:26 |
|
thd |
akn: I know that you are using SUSE so everything must be fine :) |
20:33 |
|
akn |
thd, thanks much; I am up and running. Now to put some of my experiences into documentation form.... |
20:33 |
|
akn |
I hope to get it into the wiki before too long. |

|hdl| |
hello |
05:37 |
|
thd |
|hdl| Did you see the forwarded copy of the message I sent to Paul enquiring about his six month absence from Koha? |
05:40 |
|
thd |
good morning paul |
05:42 |
|
thd |
paul: would you expect your absence from Koha to lead to a delay for 3.0 or a feature reduction? |
05:43 |
|
|hdl| |
Sorrythd for there was a misunderstanding. |
05:45 |
|
thd |
|hdl| Did I take an unwarranted conclusion from the #koha log? |
05:46 |
|
|hdl| |
Yes. |
05:47 |
|
thd |
|hdl| Can you clarify what I should have understood? |
05:48 |
|
|hdl| |
paul is not leaving the project. |
05:49 |
|
thd |
|hdl| I had not assumed that paul was leaving the project, merely that he would be absent for 6 months. |
05:50 |
|
|hdl| |
He wil not be absent. |
05:50 |
|
|hdl| |
he will be there. |
05:50 |
|
|hdl| |
he will work, as he previously did. |
05:50 |
|
thd |
|hdl| What was it your intention to convey yesterday? |
05:52 |
|
|hdl| |
I wanted to say that paul will be busy with some contracts over the next 6 months. |
05:53 |
|
thd |
|hdl| And simply not logged in to #koha during that time? |
05:54 |
|
paul |
no. Just means i'll have 80% of my time on migrations/installations/teachings. |
05:54 |
|
|hdl| |
And was out yesterday. |
05:54 |
|
paul |
but i'll stay here of course. And still plan to release a 2.2.x every quarter ! |
05:55 |
|
|hdl| |
and kados seemed to be in a hurry to get information about planning. |
05:55 |
|
thd |
paul: until 2.2.x gives way to 3.0 :) |
05:55 |
|
paul |
not necessary. 3.0.0 will be for courageous libraries only I thinks. |
05:56 |
|
paul |
thus, I plan to have koha 2.2.x releases for at least 6 months after 3.0 |
05:56 |
|
paul |
(s/plan/think) |
05:58 |
|
thd |
paul: Do you mean that 3.0.0 will be expected to pose migration hurdles and new bugs lurking that all but the courageous will be wary of confronting? |
05:59 |
|
paul |
thd : 3.0 means new technology (zebra / zoom mainly). So, for sure there will be new bugs ! |
06:00 |
|
paul |
(+ core rewrite & cleaning that may be sometimes a little bit too generous ;-) ) |
06:03 |
|
thd |
|hdl| paul: I am pleased to be concerned about phantom problems any day :) I hope that at least the later sections of my message after concern over paul's non-absence are still modestly informative about my intentions for Koha. |
06:04 |
|
|hdl| |
thd : hope so. |
06:06 |
|
|hdl| |
But before making such a long e-mail on a public list, maybe you could ask the person responsible of your fear (here me) before. |
06:06 |
|
|hdl| |
And I promise to take care about my words in the future. |
06:06 |
|
|hdl| |
I am truly sorry. |
06:07 |
|
thd |
|hdl| I wrote only to paul privately and forwarded a copy to you. Maybe I used the wrong address for you. The message was not intended for any list. |
06:08 |
|
|hdl| |
ok. |
06:08 |
|
thd |
|hdl| was that your list reading address? |
06:09 |
|
|hdl| |
yes. |
06:09 |
|
|hdl| |
for koha world. |
06:10 |
|
thd |
|hdl| If you supply me with another address I would be happy to use that if it might save future confusion. |
06:13 |
|
thd |
I also wrote paul about his system possibly posting koha list replies from last year in recent days. That certainly gave me some confusion until I realised :) |
06:15 |
|
paul |
at 1st glance. Then realised it was a 2 years old message |
08:15 |
|
Sylvain |
hi |
08:23 |
|
Sylvain |
am I wrong or the renewal date isn't stored in table issues although there is a field for it |
08:33 |
|
paul |
hi sylvain. |
08:33 |
|
paul |
chris (katipo) is circulation & reserves & renewals author. |
08:33 |
|
paul |
sleeping actually. |
08:33 |
|
paul |
so you won't get an answer from him. |
08:34 |
|
paul |
but iirc, in issues, you have the number of renewals already done & the return date. |
08:34 |
|
paul |
& nothing more. |
08:35 |
|
Sylvain |
| lastreneweddate | date | YES | | NULL | | |
08:35 |

08:36 |
|
chris |
actually im not sleeping yet, but im about to |
08:36 |
|
chris |
and steve tonessen wrote circulation |
08:36 |

chris |
but ive fixed/changed lots of it |
08:37 |
|
chris |
i wrote reserves ... and non web based circulation and renewals |
08:37 |
|
chris |
but i didnt write the web based issues and renewals |
08:41 |

Sylvain: hi there |
09:51 |
|
kados |
Sylvain: did you see my message to koha-devel a couple days ago? |
09:51 |
|
paul |
hi kados. Good morning |
09:51 |
|
kados |
Sylvain: I was wondering whether you're working on any new functionality for 3.0 that you'd like included in the roadmap |
09:51 |
|
kados |
paul: afternoon paul, you were missed :-) |
09:52 |
|
paul |
(was lunch time) |
09:52 |
|
kados |
paul: same question for you, and also wondering whether INEO has a timeframe for completing their projects, or whether SAN does ... |
09:53 |
|
paul |
about SAN : a meeting should be done (very) soon, according to tech CEO |
09:53 |
|
paul |
but no other news (except for some code around borrowers table that is being done) |
09:53 |
|
kados |
good, please keep me posted, I have never recieved any email from any SAN folks |
09:54 |
|
paul |
I had some phone news & question, but that's almost all. |
09:54 |
|
paul |
& still no decision to involve me deeper in their devs |
09:54 |
|
kados |
:( |
09:54 |
|
paul |
about Ineo : i'm afraid we will have to wait until pierrick starts his new job (march, 1st) |
09:55 |
|
kados |
right, it seems that's too late for 3.0 :( |
09:55 |
|
kados |
it might take him a month to get oriented |
09:55 |
|
paul |
right. |
09:56 |
|
paul |
i'll try to organise a meeting with Ineo in january. |
09:59 |
|
kados |
do you have any additional functions to add to 3.0? |
10:00 |
|
thd |
kados: I assume you read the logs that the suggestion of Paul's absence about which I had asked you was greatly exaggerated. |
10:02 |
|
kados |
thd: nope, i didn't :-) |
10:03 |
|
thd |
kados: hdl's comments from yesterday morning were not stated correctly. |
10:04 |
|
kados |
thd: I had assumed that :-) |
10:04 |
|
thd |
kados: you have more experience with such confusions :) |
10:07 |
|
paul |
(thd, don't remember we are not english natives. So sometimes we write something that you can understand not exactly as we wanted to see it !) |
10:08 |
|
paul |
just an example : after my trip to Athens, in march, I wanted to say "I was very happy to meet joshua physically". Which would be perfect in french, but has a strong different meaning in english if I don't mind. |
10:08 |
|
kados |
hehe |
10:08 |
|
paul |
;-) |
10:08 |
|
thd |
paul: English is also a second language for me. |
10:08 |
|
kados |
thd: what's your first language? |
10:09 |
|
paul |
so : NO, I didn't met joshua physically, but YES, j'ai rencontré physiquement Joshua :-D |
10:09 |
|
kados |
paul: hehe |
10:09 |
|
thd |
paul: I do not know how to write in thought though :) |
10:10 |
|
kados |
paul: the roadmap is progressing, there are just a few folks I'm waiting to hear from |
10:10 |
|
kados |
paul: like you and hdl :-) |
10:10 |
|
thd |
paul kados: thought has no alphabet :) |
10:10 |
|
kados |
paul: I see commits almost every day so I know you're busy coding :-) |
10:27 |
|
Sylvain |
kados, I have no new functionnalities for 3.0. All I'm doing right now is bug correction on 2.2.x |
10:29 |

kados |
Sylvain: ok ... thanks |
10:41 |

kados |
osmoze: hi there |
10:42 |

osmoze |

10:49 |
|
kados |
osmoze: I'm wondering, did you see my message to koha-devel? |
10:49 |
|
kados |
osmoze: could you let me know if you are working on any projects that you want to be included in 3.0? |
10:50 |
|
kados |
Sylvain: will your bug correction be ported to HEAD (I hope :-)) |
10:51 |
|
Sylvain |
