12:28 kados morning owen
12:28 owen Hi kados
12:30 owen I hope someone can look at Kyle's improvements to the reserve system and see about getting them incorporated into 3.0
12:32 kados he committed them to dev_week, right?
12:32 owen Yes
12:32 kados owen: can you file a bug on that so we don't forget?
12:32 owen Sure
12:35 kados I'd put it under circulation for now
12:36 kados I was debating that just now
12:36 owen yeah, I noticed
12:36 paul mm... too much component may result in confusing choice, be carefull...
12:37 paul Could we have components & sub-cmoponents, like
12:37 paul cataloguing
12:37 paul circ
12:37 kados paul: yes, I was, I just added some of the tools that were added recently, like 'Task Scheduler' 'Patron Import' and 'MARC Import'
12:37 paul    - issues/returns
12:37 kados hmmm
12:37 paul      - transferts
12:37 paul      - holds
12:37 paul ...
12:37 kados no subcomponents :(
12:37 kados at least not with this version of bugzilla
12:38 kados morning atz
12:38 paul hello atz
12:38 kados paul: do we need both Full and Simple acquisitions still?
12:38 paul nope
13:07 ryan paul: did you or SAN-OP have performance problems with Calendar.pm ?
13:09 kados hmmm, should just use Dates.pm, no?
13:10 ryan well, it used to use Calendar.pm
13:13 atz greets
13:15 ryan hi atz
13:17 atz probably should put some comment in Dates.pm like "what this is NOT"
13:17 atz specifically, it's not going to do any calculations for you
13:24 kados email should be back up shortly
13:24 kados oops, wrong channel :-)
14:06 lea hello. It's been a while.
14:06 kados hi lea
14:08 lea hi kados :D
14:08 lea I checked in to find out the status of koha 3. Any news?
14:09 kados it's getting there
14:12 kados lea: http://staff-jmf.dev.kohalibrary.com
14:15 lea thanks. Is there a way to browse the catalogue?
14:16 kyle FYI, I just comitted the new reserves to dev_week, in case anyone wants to try it out. I hope I committed all the neccessary files ; )
14:17 kados lea: there is, but it's not enabled on this demo
14:17 kados kyle: cool, yea, we'll get it in 3.0
14:17 kados kyle++
14:17 kados lea: do you mean browse or search?
14:18 lea browse
14:19 lea ok, no problem
14:19 lea any plans to support openid?
14:20 kados I'm not aware of anyone working on that
14:23 hdl lea : maybe soon since we plan to interact with Drupal 6.
14:23 kados hdl: that will make owen happy, as NPL's website is in Drupal
14:24 hdl biblibre is Drupal-based ;)
14:24 kados cool
14:24 owen lea, how would you see Koha using openid?
14:25 hdl kados : I have problems with commits on templates.
14:25 hdl (patch applying)
14:26 hdl Do you also have problems sometimes ?
14:26 hdl How do you solve them
14:26 kados hmmm, what is the problem?
14:28 paul kados, I think you made something wrong... my import_biblios table is now 4 500 000 and 1.4GB !!! (from a 57 000 marc_breeding initial talble)
14:28 paul (3.00.00.0013)
14:28 kados paul: must have had stuff in your breeding farm I'm guessing
14:28 kados gmcharlt: ?
14:29 paul yep. 57 000 biblios
14:29 gmcharlt kados?
14:29 paul but why is there 4.5M records in marc_breeding ???
14:29 kados gmcharlt: just wondering if you know the answer to paul's question
14:30 kados I did find one bug in the last db update
14:30 kados that I patched
14:31 kados that was 0.17 though
14:31 kados .017 I mean
14:31 kados @a wasn't properly escaped
14:32 gmcharlt paul: how many rows in import_batches?
14:32 paul 8
14:32 Thierry hello
14:32 paul hello Thierry
14:32 kados hi Thierry
14:33 gmcharlt paul: and how many in import_records
14:33 paul 52 947
14:33 paul (and 55 000 in marc_breeding)
14:33 paul and 4 774 002 in import_biblios
14:34 gmcharlt think I'm getting closer -- how many distinct values of z3950random in marc_breeding
14:39 paul gmcharlt: something like 1000
14:39 gmcharlt right, not random enough -- my bad for try to treat it like it was a primary key
14:40 gmcharlt will send you a patch in a bit to fix transfer of marc_breeding
14:40 gmcharlt for now, import_* tables can be dropped from your test DB if you want
14:40 paul gmcharlt: too late ;-), can wait for official patch now
14:40 paul except, I can't do that because of transactions. I have to wait until it's done (5 hours now...)
14:41 paul (and I have a SCSI 10k RPM disk...)
14:41 hdl kados : cannot apply patches for instance on step3.tmpl but also on subscription-add.tmpl
14:41 gmcharlt :(
14:41 gmcharlt mea maxima culpa
14:41 kados hdl: step3.tmpl for installer?
14:41 hdl yes.
14:41 kados hdl: maybe you have changes you haven't comitted?
14:41 kados hdl: and subscription-add.tmpl, it's because I rejected one of paul's patches on that file
14:41 hdl No. I reverted to your version.
14:41 kados so you can git revert paul's change, and it will work
14:42 gmcharlt paul: if you wouldn't mind, could you add a bug to bugzilla quickly
14:53 paul gmcharlt: done (1535à
14:53 paul )
14:53 gmcharlt paul: thanks
15:04 kados hdl: the installer I'm not sure ..., but I"m pretty sure the subscription-add prob is related to paul's patch
15:05 hdl Maybe. It is the patch I sent under Managing Independant Branches that I have problem to apply.
15:08 kados strange
15:08 kados did I push that patch up?
15:09 atz does anybody know the best way to upgrade Damn Small Linux (DSL) to a full Debian install?
15:14 kados I wonder if you can just edit the /etc/apt/sources.list, remove DSL and add full distro sources, then do apt-get dist-upgrade
15:14 gmcharlt paul: patch in bugzilla
15:15 hdl kados : not yet.
15:16 hdl But I reverted my patches to get up to date.
15:16 hdl And tried to reapply all my commits.
15:19 kados hmmm, you reverted all your patches?
15:19 kados shouldn't need to do that
15:19 kados should just be able to do:
15:19 kados git fetch
15:19 kados git rebase origin
15:27 hdl I usually do that
15:27 hdl But sometimes (and quite regularly in fact) rebase fails.
15:28 hdl And I have to manage conflicts.
15:28 paul - edit the conflict file
15:28 paul - git add conflictfile
15:28 paul - git rebase --continue
15:29 hdl I did so but sometimes it doesnot show any conflict in conflicting file.
15:29 hdl So hard to know what conflicts.
15:30 paul ??? never had that case
15:30 Thierry Someone can help me please ? i have a problem when i try to install the perl module MARC::XML "-running make test can't test without succesful make - runing make install -make had return bad status, install seems impossible"
15:31 kados Thierry: can you go to the #code4lib channel on irc.freenode.net and ask miker for help?
15:31 hdl Is there any reason why tests fail ?
15:31 hdl If not, you can try forcing install.
15:32 kados Thierry: there have been a few reports of errors recently, and he's trying to figure out what they are caused by
15:37 paul kados : do you think it is possible to add the author to the RSS feed of git ?
15:38 paul to see the commit title + author
15:38 kados paul: chris might know
15:38 paul I fill a bug to him
15:38 kados paul: file a bug under www.koha.org
15:38 kados :-)
15:38 paul should I say fill or file ?
15:39 kados file
15:39 paul litteral french translation would be fill
15:39 kados I think file is the convention
15:39 kados in english
15:42 [K] *** join #koha@FreeNode: thierry n=chatzill@LNeuilly-152-21-103-5.w193-253.abo.wanadoo.fr
15:42 [K] *** part FreeNode!#koha: thierry n=chatzill@LNeuilly-152-21-103-5.w193-253.abo.wanadoo.fr
15:48 hdl kados : about M::F::X is there a new version which take my patch for UNIMARCAUTH into account ?
15:49 kados I don't know, you can try the testing version on CPAN
15:49 kados 0.87_0 I think
15:58 foxnorth kados: if you've got a sec, refresh biblios and try out the facets again
16:00 hdl kados: why is there no rightANDleft truncation possibility ?
16:01 kados hdl: I am running zebra 2.0.16 and it doesn't support rightANDleft ... does 2.0.18 support it?
16:01 kados hdl: if so, I will upgrade and fix
16:01 hdl I think so. I tested and it worked for me.
16:01 kados ok, I'll upgrade and fix
16:03 hdl But you are deleting rightandlefttruncated words like *tique* when doing a search And this surprised me.
16:03 kados hmmm, deleting?
16:04 kados hdl: where do you see them being deleted?
16:05 hdl I did parti* *tique* in main box.
16:05 kados hdl: I didn't change your code much in the _add_trunation sub
16:05 kados ok
16:08 kados so that should produce rtrn:parti* and rltrn:*tique*
16:08 hdl no.
16:08 kados it just delets the rltrn
16:08 kados strange
16:08 hdl rtrn:parti and rltrn:tique
16:10 kados it's being saved as regex
16:11 kados hmmm
16:11 kados not being returned correctly it seems
16:12 kados push @rightlefttruncated,$word;
16:12 kados never happens
16:12 kados if (index($word,"*")==0 && index($word,"*",1)==length($word)-2){
16:12 kados isn't matching
16:12 kados I didn't author 'if (index($word,"*")==0 && index($word,"*",1)==length($word)-2){' :-)
16:14 kados index STR,SUBSTR,POSITION
16:14 kados so that won't match properly
16:15 kados index($word,"*",-1) maybe?
16:21 mj hi! is there a location where I can download a beta for koha 3?
16:21 kados mj: git.koha.org
16:21 mj thanks. going to take a look.
16:25 hdl kados : liblime is undergoing a mailserver problem ?
16:26 mj and I'm looking for koha 2.3.x? (not koha 3.x)
16:30 kados hdl: yes, are you getting bounced messages?
16:30 hdl yes
16:30 kados shoot
16:30 kados there should be a backup mailserver taking over
16:30 kados we had two disk failures in a raid 5 array
16:30 kados rebuilding now
16:40 paul everybody says hello to osaury, that is Olivier Saury, that works with us
16:40 kados hi osaury, welcome to #koha
16:40 mj hello osaunry, from holland.
16:41 hdl kados : is it normal I have no location no itemcount, no holding information ?
16:41 kados hdl: normal for what?
16:42 hdl normal for search result lists after your commits ?
16:42 kados hdl: I fixed rightANDleftruncation
16:43 hdl what was the error ?
16:43 kados -           if (index($word,"*")==0 && index($word,"*",1)==length($word)-2){
16:43 kados -               $word=\*//;
16:43 kados +           if (index($word,"*")==0 && index($word,"*",1)==length($word)-1){
16:43 kados +               $word=\*//g;
16:43 kados I'm not sure who wrote the first piece, it wasn't me
16:49 hdl was me.
16:49 hdl hi asaury
17:06 atz there's a lot of code that makes repeated calls to index instead of using one RegExp
17:08 atz what is that conditional trying to say?
17:09 fbcit-away kados: Is there any reason 3.0 should not run in its current state?
17:10 atz "if $word starts w/ '*' and has another '*' at the end, remove both."
17:11 atz ^^ is that a correct interpretation?
17:12 atz $word =~ s/^\*(.*)\*$/$1/;
17:17 hdl atz : i simply thought that index would be quicker than regexp.
17:18 atz generally speaking, that is true.
17:19 hdl if that is not true. I will use regexp.
17:20 atz i don't think i'm familiar w/ this notation:  $word=\*//;
17:21 atz is that a regexp substitution or a shorthand "tr" ?
17:35 atz if it is an RE, and if you expect the conditions to be true frequently, then one RE would be faster than the conditionals plus the RE
21:43 hdl atz : you won.
21:48 hdl kados: facets order display is quite fuzzy. Would it be possible to set it ?
21:50 hdl kados : are you working on search.pl ?
22:14 aklibrarian Hello,
22:15 aklibrarian I have everything on the computer.  I just don't know what to type in for Koha to be installed.
22:16 chris hey darla
22:16 chris so you are up to this bit?
22:16 chris http://matthew.metzger.cc/wiki[…]6#Installing_Koha
22:17 chris subsitute 2.2.9 for 2.2.5
22:17 chris and thats what you need to do
22:19 aklibrarian I have done that.  I got the tarball although from a different source(I couldn't download it due to restrictions so I ftp'd it.)
22:19 aklibrarian I can't figure out how to start the Install
22:20 chris this bit ?
22:20 chris sudo perl installer.pl
22:20 chris (after you have uncompressed the tarball, and cd'd to it)
22:21 aklibrarian Thanks.
22:21 aklibrarian That got me started.
22:21 chris cool
22:22 aklibrarian I need chocolate to continue!!
22:23 chris hehe
22:24 fbcit-1 kados:I started on converting the installer to pg today.
22:35 aklibrarian Do the files that are marc-charset: marc-lint and so on need to be in the same file as the Koha?
22:37 chris no, they just have to be installed
23:03 aklibrarian Chris, are you still there.  I moved the MARC fils to the Koha file and they are working as expected for now.
23:04 chris hmm did you install them?
23:04 chris because if not, they might not work once they are installed
23:04 chris once koha is installed sorry
23:06 aklibrarian I tried to install now, thought I did it last Saturday.  I got "Cannot install NET::Z3950, don't know what it is
23:06 aklibrarian The last part was part of the quote
23:09 chris if there are missing modules, the installer will complain .. so if it complained about the missing MARC ones, they might need to be installed
23:10 aklibrarian I am working on that now.
23:10 chris sweet :)
23:47 aklibrarian Why does spelling have to be so precise
23:48 kados aklibrarian: yea, I'm bad at spelling too
23:48 aklibrarian I got into a program I can't figure out how to exit
23:48 kados which one?
23:49 aklibrarian I don't know.  just has a > as a prompt
23:49 kados try Ctrl-c
23:49 aklibrarian Thank you
23:52 atz Ctrl-D sends "end of file" (i.e., end of input, if it is expecting input, like if you say "cat" w/ no argument)
23:52 atz Ctrl-D is "abort", effectively
23:52 atz Ctrl-C is "abort", effectively
23:52 atz (not D....)
00:19 aklibrarian Hi again,
00:20 aklibrarian What does it mean in I can't test my php?  This is early in the installation on Ubuntu
00:21 masonj darla, for a koha install, or ubuntu install?
00:22 aklibrarian Getting Ubuntu ready for Koha
00:23 masonj koha doesnt need php, so u must be doing an ubuntu install , i guess?
00:23 masonj ah, snap
00:38 aklibrarian I am back again.
00:38 aklibrarian When I run a check on the php, it comes up that there is no such file or directory
00:40 aklibrarian But then there is no 127.0.0.1 period.  Is this a set up  in Linux I would do?
00:41 masonj $ which php
00:41 aklibrarian php5
00:42 masonj cool, looks like youve got php on then :)
00:51 aklibrarian I am looking at setting my loopback interface.  I think that is where the error is.
00:54 chris heya dan
00:59 dbs Hey Chris!
00:59 dbs I've scared all the little kids away from my house. Back to code.
00:59 chris hehe
01:02 aklibrarian If you scare them away they don't bring you chocolate
01:20 aklibrarian Atz, let's visit.  I was smart enough to not buy any candy, so I am lacking.
01:34 masonj ive been thinking about chocolate all morning
01:40 aklibrarian I want pie.  I think I want anything except for the chicken noodle soup that is for dinner.  Traveling is the pits.
01:44 fbcit-1 kados:ping
04:33 aklibrarian Chris?
04:34 aklibrarian I have had success and it is fully installed.
05:32 chris wooo
