13:07	kados	hiya Solomon
13:16	owen	Hi all
13:24	hdl	hi kados & owen. howdy
13:24	hdl	?
15:49	mc	anyone here ?
15:56	acmoore	hi mc.
15:57	atz	'ello
15:58	mc	i just wrote a patch for rebuild_zebra that prints usage without error messages
15:58	mc	when no parameters
15:58	mc	and other tests
15:59	mc	(KOHA_CONF set, readable, ... )
15:59	mc	usefull ?
16:00	hdl	mc : yes.
16:00	hdl	Is it zsh only ;) ?
16:00	mc	hdl hehe
16:00	mc	non: that's some perl cod
16:00	mc	code
16:01	atz	mc: i'm not sure you should dump the whole usage on no arg. execution
16:01	atz	it's large, and it currently tells you how to get the usage (--help) already
16:02	atz	the reason not to is that this gets scheduled as a cronjob
16:02	mc	ok
16:02	atz	and if cron'd in error, we should probably be conservative about verbosity
16:02	mc	well... my problem was simple:
16:03	mc	i lauched rebuild* without argument
16:03	mc	just to see parameters
16:03	mc	and i had some error
16:03	mc	s
16:03	atz	like this?
16:03	atz	$ misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl
16:03	atz	Must specify -b or -a to reindex bibs or authorities
16:03	atz	Please do 'misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl --help' to see usage.
16:04	mc	because C4::Context can't reach the $KOHA_CONG
16:04	mc	that is not set
16:04	atz	ah... right.
16:04	mc	it's ok for use
16:04	mc	it's ok for us
16:04	atz	yeah, those would be good to check
16:05	mc	but for users, it can be anoyance ...
16:05	atz	yeah, especially if they are used to getting those from .profile or something
16:06	atz	and don't understand why cron (as a different user) doesn't work
16:06	mc	http://pastebin.com/m5074f0c5
16:07	mc	this is my patch proposal
16:07	mc	but i can change print_usage by a simple message : try --help to learn about good options
16:08	mc	is there a case where $KOHA_CONF can be empty ? (i exit then)
16:09	atz	no. w/o KOHA_CONF, there is no DB access.
16:09	mc	so i commit
16:09	mc	:)
16:10	atz	cool
