thd |
kados: are you there? |
| 12:04 |
|
kados |
thd: yes |
| 12:05 |
|
thd |
kados: why would Encode::decode be needed to pass the content of a string if there is no need to parse the actual characters in the string? |
| 12:06 |
|
kados |
thd: http://www.ahinea.com/en/tech/[…]ode-struggle.html |
| 12:59 |
|
thd |
kados: will there be a development meeting today? |
| 13:22 |
|
kados |
thd: I don't have time today for that :-) |
| 13:22 |
|
kados |
thd: working on Koha 2.4 today :-) |
| 13:22 |
|
thd |
kados: are the meetings going to resume? :) |
| 13:26 |
|
kados |
thd: :-) |

| 13:26 |
|
kados |
thd: maybe next week |
| 13:26 |
|
kados |
thd: if you have something to discuss I'd be happy to discuss it with you |
| 13:27 |
|
thd |
kados: I will wait until you are less busy and I have something to report from some tests |
| 13:37 |
|
thd |
kados: do you know that delete subfields is missing from the current CVS version of MARC::Record? |
| 13:38 |
|
thd |
or delete subfields does not build |
| 14:55 |

johnb |
In case anyone is interested France 1 Portugal 0 at halftime |

|
chris |
yep i got up early to watch it ... but im gonna miss the second half .. have tech meeting |
| 16:55 |
|
kados |
chris: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]ncodingscratchpad |
| 16:55 |
|
kados |
chris: what we need to do is put together a very simple test case |
| 16:55 |
|
kados |
chris: that demonstrates our encoding problems |
| 16:56 |
|
kados |
chris: so we can test and test on it until we find a solution |
| 18:50 |
|
thd |
kados: I sent you some records to add |
| 20:35 |
|
kados |
thd: thanks |
| 20:37 |
|
thd |
kados: let me know when I can edit them |
| 20:45 |
|
kados |
thd: do I need to check these records for validity? |
| 20:45 |
|
kados |
thd: once I import them they can't be removed :-) |
| 20:46 |
|
kados |
thd: ok, they checked out with marcdump |
| 20:46 |
|
kados |
thd: ok, they are loaded ... knock yourself out :-) |
| 20:47 |
|
thd |
kados: those records are perfect I had MARC::Charset cleanse the the 5 subfields with some bad encodings |
| 20:47 |
|
kados |
excellent |
| 20:47 |
|
thd |
kados: therefore, one has a nameless author |
| 20:47 |
|
thd |
kados: only his birth and death dates are left :) |
| 20:48 |
|
kados |
:-) |
| 20:51 |
|
tumer |
kados:is your system runnig with zebra now,editor, authorities etc |
| 20:52 |
|
kados |
tumer: no authorities |
| 20:52 |
|
kados |
tumer: but the editor works |
| 20:52 |
|
kados |
tumer: I haven't checked circ yet |
| 20:52 |
|
kados |
tumer: I'm trying to get a good process together for upgrading |
| 20:52 |
|
kados |
tumer: it's a tough puzzle |
| 20:52 |
|
kados |
tumer: could take something like 14 hours :-) |
| 20:52 |
|
tumer |
??? |
| 20:53 |
|
tumer |
for a sytem with 100k record should not be more than 3 hrs |
| 20:54 |
|
kados |
well, there is quite a lot that needs to be done |
| 20:54 |
|
kados |
for instance, the records need to be fixed |
| 20:54 |
|
kados |
lots of preprocessing on them to repair missing leaders, fixed fields, etc. from previous versions of Koha that had data loss |
| 20:54 |
|
tumer |
so you think everybosy has missing 090 fields |
| 20:54 |
|
kados |
plus missing 090 fields |
| 20:55 |
|
kados |
yes, even brand new installs have missing 090 fields :-) |
| 20:55 |
|
kados |
there is obviously a pretty substantial bug somewhere |
| 20:55 |
|
tumer |
well i thought i fixed that in dev_week |
| 20:56 |
|
kados |
yes, but I'm not migrating from dev_week :-) |
| 20:56 |
|
tumer |
anyway good luck. I did not understand this merging of rel_2_2 to head |
| 20:57 |
|
tumer |
its just bringing in all the unnecesary bibids and so on |
| 20:57 |
|
kados |
tumer: speaking of which |
| 20:57 |
|
tumer |
i thought we were supposed to merge dev_week |
| 20:58 |
|
kados |
tumer: I don't feel up to the task of merging stuff from dev-week into HDA |
| 20:58 |
|
kados |
HEAD |
| 20:58 |
|
kados |
because HEAD's API is quite different |
| 20:58 |
|
kados |
I don't really see how it would even be possible |
| 20:58 |
|
tumer |
well to tell the truth i hate HEAD at the moment |
| 20:58 |
|
kados |
without a serious investment in programming |
| 20:58 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 20:58 |
|
kados |
tumer: do tell |
| 20:59 |
|
tumer |
it requires rethought and reengineering |
| 21:00 |
|
tumer |
if we are going zebra way we have to rediscuss what HEAD is supposed to be |
| 21:01 |
|
tumer |
database structure etc has to be modified deeply |
| 21:01 |
|
tumer |
which will break everything anyway. |
| 21:02 |
|
tumer |
btw i have async zebra updating but i cannot do async searches. have you got anything working? |
| 21:04 |
|
thd |
tumer: doesn't your Z39.50 client do async searches? |
| 21:05 |
|
thd |
tumer: just point that code at your Zebra server |
| 21:05 |
|
tumer |
it does but i cannot fork it to receive results as they become available |
| 21:06 |
|
thd |
tumer: you mean it must wait until it has the full result set or the connection times out? |
| 21:06 |
|
tumer |
yep |
| 21:08 |
|
thd |
tumer: I have not studied the forking magic closely to know how that actually functions. |
| 21:08 |
|
tumer |
thd:neither did i |
| 21:09 |
|
thd |
tumer: I tried your USMARC.pm today |
| 21:09 |
|
tumer |
thd: and??? |
| 21:10 |
|
thd |
tumer: well it did not uncorrupt a couple of records which were corrupted before I obtained them |
| 21:11 |
|
thd |
tumer: it did no harm to the other records but I had missed the recent problems with MARC::Record |
| 21:12 |
|
tumer |
thd:its not only a matter or corruptig records but also corrupting template displays |
| 21:12 |
|
thd |
tumer: I had failed to pay attention to the fact that cvs.sourceforge.net now needs to be marcpm.cvs.sourceforge.net so my updates were not updating. |
| 21:13 |
|
tumer |
thd:i can definitely say that everyday i find new characters of MARC8 from LC that convert to some undisplayable character with MARC::Charset |
| 21:14 |
|
thd |
tumer: I found a backwards compatibility bug with MARC::File::delete_subfileds() in the most recent MARC::Record |
| 21:14 |
|
tumer |
any character of that sort is very likely to break records |
| 21:15 |
|
tumer |
thd:so you mean they forgot it? or it needs to be implemented |
| 21:15 |
|
thd |
tumer: Ed Summers was kind enough to replace the now deprecated delete_subfileds() function which had been removed |
| 21:16 |
|
tumer |
so if i update is it there? |
| 21:16 |
|
thd |
tumer: delete_subfield() is the new more flexible replacement |
| 21:17 |
|
tumer |
ok |
| 21:17 |
|
tumer |
thd: good-night i have to get some sleep |
| 21:18 |
|
thd |
tumer: but yes if you update now either it is there or there as a backwards compatible symlink from delete_subfileds() to delete_subfield() |
| 21:18 |
|
thd |
good night tumer |
