11:51 btoumi nono?
11:54 btoumi nono are u around:
16:40 tumer paul:how did zebra go?
16:40 _paul hello tumer
16:40 paul quite well. My problem was an expat one
16:41 tumer oh yes lots of dependencies
16:41 paul expat was not installed, thus zebra was not compiled with xml support :-(
16:41 tumer and not complained while building?
16:42 paul yes, it was, but just a "grs-xml : no" during configure.
16:42 paul can easily be missed...
16:42 paul (hdl added a wiki page to warn for this)
16:42 tumer yes i think you should bug them
16:42 paul (& probably other zebra specific stuff will come...)
16:42 hdl hi
16:42 dewey hi, hdl
16:43 tumer hi
16:43 tumer paul: now working on a WAP version koha, anyone else worked on this before?
16:46 hdl tumer : does yaz query UDP or TCP ports ?
16:46 tumer tcp
16:47 tumer port 212 is globally reserved for z3950 and there is one for zebra as well
16:47 tumer 212/210
16:50 hdl Thanks tumer.
16:51 paul_away bye world.
16:51 kados hdl: I recommend a unix socket rather than tcp
16:51 kados hdl: it's much faster
16:51 paul a quick information for kados & tumer...
16:51 hdl kados : it is for external servers.
16:51 kados hdl: (ahh)
16:52 tumer hdl:search for a list i cannot remember the address but gives the whole use of ports
16:52 paul this week, i'm teaching koha v3 to SAN-OP. keep finger crossed...
16:52 tumer crossed
16:52 paul because I'm sure we will encounter bugs (we have 2 months to find them), but hopefully not too much
16:52 kados yep
16:52 kados so far NPL is very happy
16:53 kados minimal bugs in dev_week
16:53 paul otherwise, the 1st 14 users will be disappointed & they will be anxious for going live on january 1st...
16:53 kados so hopefully the same for rel_3_0
16:53 paul yep, but I know there are still alot of improvements to do, for SAN-OP on their zebra setup.
16:53 kados paul: I have a suggestion
16:54 kados paul: I suggest that we not release 3.0 officially until SAN is happy with it
16:54 kados my feeling is that an official release is too important to be buggy ...
16:54 paul (even if I may install a 2nd library, managed 100% by me with it in early january)
16:55 kados especially since zebra is so complex
16:55 paul an official release is important and THIS release is more than important...
16:55 kados it could be detremental to the project if it is complex AND buggy :-)
16:55 tumer i am probably setting up another library next mont with HEAD
16:55 kados paul: exactly
16:56 kados tumer: which one?
16:56 dewey rumour has it which one is that? :-)
16:56 paul note that SAN-OP don't uses acquisitions, so we won't test rel_3 acqui module...
16:56 tumer which??
16:56 dewey which is, like, really annoying or insane
16:56 paul which new library with HEAD ?
16:56 kados tumer: which library?
16:56 tumer a special library in Turkey
16:56 kados cool
16:57 tumer currently HEAD is as bugfree as rel2_2
16:57 paul don't you find too many bugs in HEAD ? because toins did many many many bugfixes on rel_3 that you should have in HEAD
16:57 paul ???
16:57 kados tumer: that may be just for the subset of functions that you use
16:58 tumer I have it running for 2 month only acquisitions not well tested
16:58 kados hdl: what is the status of authorities with zebra?
16:58 paul it's working (for UNIMARC at least).
16:58 tumer i have not been committing-since nobody uses it
16:58 kados cool
16:58 kados we need to discuss how to manage our commits better
16:59 kados I've a feeling there's a lot of duplicated work
16:59 tumer kados:Date.pm on head is now all necessary function for KOHA without Date::Manip. i am committing it now
16:59 kados tumer++
16:59 paul tumer : OK, but you should always comit, because toins follow all commits, and report what is needed/interesting on rel_3
16:59 paul it's a shame you did not previously, because toins is working on that for rel_3_0 too
16:59 kados paul: re: 2.2.7 ... did you see my email sent today?
17:00 tumer well i did paul
17:00 tumer this is additions
17:00 tumer and i still see lots of duplicated work
17:00 paul kados : the one about mySQL5 support ?
17:00 kados paul: yse
17:01 kados paul: yes even :-)
17:01 paul yes, i've read it. But my main concern is to have a mySQL4 AND mySQL5 compliance, which is not so easy, If toins is not lying.
17:01 kados ahh, I see
17:01 kados isnt' that what Contex.pm is for?
17:01 kados ie, there used to be a way to specify the db driver to use
17:01 paul so i'm waiting for chris commits to check if it's work is OK for mySQL 4 as well
17:01 kados ok
17:02 paul yes, but some SQL statements must be rewritten.
17:02 paul for example :
17:02 paul select X, Y from A,B where A.xxx = B.yyy is no more correct if you should write :
17:02 kados join, I know
17:02 paul select X,T from A left join B on A.xxx=B.yyy
17:02 kados it's a major change
17:02 kados and the behavior has changed too
17:03 paul and there's a LOT of such syntaxes all around koha !
17:03 kados yep
17:03 kados maybe there's a 'backwards compatible' for mysql5?
17:03 paul ok, guys, it's time for me to go with my wife...
17:03 kados paul: have a good afternoon
17:04 paul (it seems the SQL planner has be deeply modified)
17:04 paul_away this time, bye world.
17:05 paul_away a last note about 3.0 official release : kados, you're the release manager, so you'll decide when releasing :-D
17:06 kados paul_away: ok, good :-=)
17:06 kados paul_away: ciao
17:10 chris hmm with the changes i made to make it work under mysql5 they all work under mysql 4 too
17:10 chris its just rearranging the joins and adding some ()
17:11 chris to make it actually ansi compliant sql
17:11 kados chris: !! wtf are you doing up? :-)
17:11 kados kinda early, no?
17:11 chris its 9.11am
17:11 kados ahh, must be the daylight savings time ... always throws me oof
17:12 kados and time flew by today
17:12 chris the live server runs mysql5 the test server runs mysql4 and it works on both
17:12 kados sweet
17:12 chris but there may be something else i have missed
17:13 tumer chris:i saw the server->name server->host modif you did, thats becuase it never worked for windows and thats how i used it
17:13 kados how many queries have been changed roughly?
17:13 chris umm about 5 or 6
17:13 chris just in SearchMarc.pm and Search.pm
17:13 chris some of the left joins
17:14 tumer acquisitions and serials will need some change as well
17:14 chris its pretty much entirely to do with left joins
17:14 chris well rangitikei use those, so either i made those changes, or they didnt need them :)
17:16 tumer and from what i read only one change in behavour (we do not use) and which can be controlled by dbd::mysql anyway
17:16 chris yup
17:16 chris in terms of Koha i think its only the left joins that need to be changed
17:16 tumer yep from me too
17:17 tumer i will be doing it for head
17:17 chris cool
17:19 owen_ Hey chris, how's it going?
17:20 chris heya owen, busy but good
