00:18 sylvar Hi y'all. If a search from the admin side shows 14 items, 14 available (for a particular bib record) and the same search phrase on the public side shows "(1)", what might cause that difference?
00:19 chris none of them are marked lost?
00:19 sylvar I'll double-check.  The bib detail page says they're all Available, on both sides.
00:19 chris hm interesting, what version of koha?
00:22 sylvar chris: 3.02.00.007, but I suspect I've made a mistake during the data load, so I wouldn't consider it a bug.  Not a Koha bug, anyhow. ;)
00:23 chris :)
00:23 sylvar Thanks, though.
00:23 ebegin in your breadcrumbs, what koha shows? "kw,phr: your search"
00:24 ebegin or "kw,wrdl: your search"
00:37 ebegin I'm having trouble on my side to find word preceded of "L'", for exemple, I can find "L'entreprise" but not just "Entreprise"...
00:54 sylvar OK, I thought I knew this, but... is borrowers.cardnumber where barcodes should go?
00:55 chris yes
00:55 sylvar OK, thanks.
00:57 ebegin Is there a way to know what is indexed in zebra for a specific bib?

07:55 fredericd chris: Are you aware that tmpl_process3.pl script mess up templates .po files?
07:56 fredericd A LOT of string are marked as fuzzy, but they shouldn't
07:56 fredericd it means that translators will have to re-translate string they already translated
07:58 fredericd on stable branch, it means that to be able to have a few new strings translated into your language, you have to do a huge work of re-translation...
07:59 chris hmmm interesting that must be a new thing, because it didnt used to
08:00 fredericd for example on French staff .po files 1843 strings have been marked as fuzzy
08:00 chris when you did an update?
08:00 fredericd yes, just an update
08:00 Oak joined #koha
08:00 chris and they definitely werent fuzzy before?
08:01 fredericd new string are added, which is the expected behavior
08:01 fredericd chris: yes
08:01 Oak \o
08:01 chris is pootle down?
08:01 fredericd just before, the French .po files were without fuzzy
08:01 chris you could try updating english-nz
08:01 fredericd yes, I desactivated Pootle in the meantime
08:01 chris because that had nothing untranslated
08:02 chris i had updated them quite a few times
08:02 chris without that happening
08:02 chris i wonder if its to do with new pootle?
08:03 fredericd I don't think so, because the French .po file have been update outside Pootle
08:03 fredericd chris: same for en_NZ
08:03 chris hmm, afaik nothing has changed with tmpl_process3.pl
08:03 chris and it certainly never used to do this
08:04 fredericd but less fuzzy: just 356 strings
08:04 hdl fredericd: it can be that strings changed in context
08:04 chris yep, that would make them fuzzy
08:05 chris and that will be msmerge doing that
08:07 hdl fredericd: most of those strings will be unchanged. and will just have to be confirmed...
08:07 francharb joined #koha
08:07 sophie_m joined #koha
08:08 hdl fredericd: but some will still need some work
08:09 fredericd hdl: Yes, but 1843 strings...
08:09 hdl welcome the translating process ;)
08:11 hdl it does require work
08:11 fredericd 300 strings in German, so there is something special in French
08:12 fredericd Clearly the templates strings extraction will have to be improved for TT
08:12 chris yep, its tons easier
08:12 chris its already underway
08:13 chris we dont have to try and look for comments
08:13 chris that arent really comments
08:13 chris [% %]
08:13 chris easy
08:13 chris so you can just use a proper HTML parser
08:13 chris to extract the alt tags etc
08:14 chris i reckon go from about 2000 to about 200 lines
08:14 fredericd tmpl_process3.pl is a blackbox for me, I can't fix it
08:14 chris yeah, it doesnt have too much longer to liv
08:14 chris e
08:14 chris just for 3.2.x
08:14 fredericd hope so
08:14 chris theres certainly no way we are going to try to bend it to work with TT
08:15 fredericd I'm not sure it will be possible to update translation from 3.2.x regularly as planned
08:15 chris once for each release is enough
08:21 fredericd YEAH
08:21 fredericd I was wrong for the fuzzy strings in French
08:21 fredericd I wasn't working on the correct French version of .po files
08:22 kf joined #koha
08:22 kf hi #koha
08:22 fredericd I was working on hdl .po files version, before updates we've done the last few days
08:22 fredericd hi kf
08:22 ebegin left #koha
08:23 kf hi fredericd
08:24 hdl fredericd: pleased for you
08:24 kf fredericd: are you updating the pootle files today?
08:24 kf sorry, missed the beginning of your conversation
08:25 ivanc joined #koha
08:28 hdl left #koha
08:29 fredericd kf: it was about .po files update for 3.2.2
08:29 kf ah
08:29 fredericd I was discovering that the update was marking as fuzzy more than 1800 string in French
08:29 kf I think strings went fuzzy before when the template file got touched
08:29 fredericd it was my fault
08:29 kf you don't really have to reatranslate, but submit them again
08:30 kf ah
08:30 kf ok
08:30 fredericd kf: for German you will 300 string exactly marked as fuzzy
08:30 kf puh
08:30 kf could be worse :)
08:31 fredericd yes, it could have been worse
08:32 kf but lot's of new strings I expect
08:34 kf fredericd: can you ping me when pootle is back?
08:34 ivanc hi #koha
08:35 ivanc hi kf
08:35 fredericd kf: yes, I'm updating all .po files and try to automate the process
08:35 kf yeah, no problem. :) Just eager to start.

09:06 chris hi magnus
09:06 magnus hey chris
09:07 clrh right magnus
09:07 magnus chris: did you ever get around to looking at the logrotate stuff i mention you mentioning in bug 5055?
09:07 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5055 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, magnus, NEW, crontab.example should use standard file paths
09:07 magnus thanks, clrh
09:16 chris not ringing a bell
09:17 chris lemme look what line 79 is
09:18 chris hmm i wonder what files i was going to create?
09:19 chris ahh the logrotate.conf
09:19 magnus probably ;-)
09:20 chris actually i think taking that line out altogether
09:21 chris and telling people to do it properly
09:21 chris with /etc/logrotate.d/
09:22 chris is probably a better fix and then making a file that they can drop into there
09:22 chris that way, it can get installed with the package
09:22 magnus sounds nice, and a bit above me... ;-)
09:23 magnus should i take the logrotate stuff out and submit a new patch without it?
09:23 chris yeah that would be good
09:26 magnus ok, will do

09:38 BobB That too.:)
09:39 BobB I need to find out who in the Koha community has lots of experience with DSpace?

10:06 juan_xerc joined #koha
10:06 tajoli Zeno Tajoli, CILEA
10:06 thd Does BibLibre intend to do work towards refactoring existing Koha record indexing and retrieval for use alongside Solr/Lucene and not as an either/or option?
10:06 magnus i guess my main concern is support for Koha acting as Z39.50 and SRU server - what is the status on that and Solr?
10:06 hdl guetting back then.
10:07 hdl our work now is not an either or option...
10:07 hdl Because of time and ressources.
10:07 juan_xerc left #koha
10:07 hdl But bricks that we used are flexible.
10:07 hdl And I think that we could wrap ZOOM in them
10:08 hdl That would be excellent not only for Koha... But also for Data::Search::Engine.
10:08 thd magnus: #link http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koh[…]fs/heads/wip/solr misc/z3950.pl shows BibLibre work on a Simple2ZOOM gateway.
10:08 hdl And we would be grateful if the community would help us inahcieving that.
10:09 clrh #link https://github.com/eiro/rg-z3950-rpn/ wip about rpn grammar and z3950 server development
10:09 juan_xerc joined #koha
10:09 hdl #help on building Data::SearchEngine::ZOOM and Data::SearchEngine::Query::PQF via ZOOM wrappers
10:09 clrh we have to match both together and translate in solr requests
10:10 hdl magnus: we are doing some work on that... And will use 17 Mo of real use cases z3950 RPN queries to validate.
10:11 hdl (well not all of those are interestiing... But we plan to take out the most relevant ones)
10:11 hdl What we achieved
10:11 hdl - advanced search is now working pretty well.
10:12 hdl - Configuration of indexes via database is now ok.
10:12 hdl - display items information is now OK.
10:12 hdl as you can see and test on solr.biblibre.com
10:12 irmaB wow that is impressive
10:12 hdl or catalogue.solr.biblibre.com
10:12 thd hdl: 17 mo?
10:13 hdl mega bytes.
10:13 tajoli I have a suggestion about Zebra in Koha
10:13 Oak left #koha
10:13 hdl listening.
10:13 tajoli One of the problem that you report is about Facets
10:14 tajoli why not insert Pazpar2 as mandatory and use its facets ?
10:14 tajoli Ok is a dead road ?
10:15 hdl pazpar2 could have been chosen... We chose solr because the community is much more active.
10:15 thd tajoli: Pazpar2 requires CCL support which BibLibre have removed in their implementation.
10:15 fredericd tajoli: if you want accurate facets with Pazpar2, you need to send to it the whole resultset
10:15 fredericd it's not a solution
10:15 hdl And CCL is not a standard... It needs configuration
10:16 hdl and all the setups are a little bit different.
10:16 josepedro that's true. we have proved it.
10:16 thd tajoli: #link http://bugzilla.indexdata.dk/show_bug.cgi?id=2048 which is a bug for no facets with the ICU in Zebra which Index Data will only fix with a support contract.
10:16 munin Bug 2048: blocker, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, CLOSED FIXED, Kohazebraqueue daemon MAJOR issue
10:16 hdl fredericd: miguelxer and josepedro can you preset your selves for the records ?
10:17 hdl What we have problems and are willing to do ...
10:18 hdl Z3950 support on top of solr.
10:18 hdl clrh: mentioned that we worked on the Z3950 grammar to get the whole of it (at least what is presented on the Indexdata website which was the only ressource we got that from)
10:19 hdl #action Z3950 support on top of solr
10:19 josepedro we started with pazpar but we thought that is not the best solution
10:19 irmaB josepedro was that with Koha 3?
10:19 hdl #action improving the indexing time.
10:20 josepedro yes
10:20 hdl indexing speed is still quite slow compared to zebra...
10:20 hdl But we are working on two ideas.
10:20 clrh #link http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/tools.html
10:21 hdl - DIH Marc
10:21 clrh #link http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble[…]DIH-td504691.html
10:21 hdl (posted from erik hatcher...)
10:21 magnus and SRU?
10:22 josepedro since Biblibre started with solr, we started to review their code comparing with Vufind
10:22 hdl magnus: I guess and hope that SimpleServer will also cope with SRU
10:22 magnus ok
10:22 hdl - forking and sending // batches to index to solr.
10:23 clrh #link http://www.nntp.perl.org/group[…]0/12/msg2836.html about another idea for improving => multi-threaded call
10:23 thd magnus: SimpleServer will map CQL to PQF for SRU.
10:24 josepedro we are reviewing the sru/srw libs, too
10:24 hdl josepedro: what have you found ?
10:24 josepedro libs for dspace
10:24 hdl josepedro: what have you figured out  from your audits ?
10:25 hdl and code reviews ?
10:25 josepedro we think that the implementation is not going to be very difficult with time enough.
10:26 hdl Do you have a plan or could devote people to work with us ?
10:26 josepedro anyway, our main aim is facets solution
10:27 josepedro yes, we would like to collaborate with you
10:28 hdl josepedro: it looks that we have a nice solution... With true facets. needs some more work on thorough configuration of indexes.
10:28 hdl and adapting the solr configuration for MARC21 (
10:28 hdl we based our work on UNIMARC)
10:29 josepedro have you seen something about printing solr records directly??
10:29 josepedro without looking the database??
10:29 hdl Plugin system we implemented for solr (that could be also used for zebra) is quite handy
10:30 hdl josepedro: I donot understand.
10:31 hdl We are using records. getting them from koha and processing information to send to solr.
10:31 thd hdl: Where did you find a Solr/Lucene configuration for MARC 21?
10:31 tajoli Well, as I have undestood the mains problems are Zebra + ICU and facets.
10:31 tajoli For me setup Zebra is not a problem
10:32 josepedro when you get the solr records,  you search them in the database instead of printing them directly
10:32 tajoli and realtime indexing work (with a daily reboot)
10:32 thd tajoli: Zebra has a few problems but we should be able to have both Zebra and Solr/Lucene together.
10:33 tajoli But I undestand that Zebra + ICU is mandatory  with more that one charset (like in France).
10:33 hdl whatever quite big library you are.
10:33 thd tajoli: That is exactly how BibLibre came to their problem.
10:34 hdl even small have some special books
10:34 hdl in Hebrew, arabic... and Georgian..
10:34 thd tajoli: As hdl states big libraries need full Unicode support.
10:34 magnus so what is the real question here? no one seems opposed to solr as such, but there are some good reasons for keeping zebra around too. as long as solr is introduced as an option along side zebra everyone is happy, right?
10:34 hdl This is how we ... and the whole community came into that problem.
10:34 tajoli And Zebra + ICU doesn't work
10:34 thd tajoli: Zebra is fixable but with support money.
10:35 hdl tajoli: koha 3.0 was claimed to support full utf8 search
10:35 hdl magnus: yes. Sure.
10:35 hdl our main problem is that we have limited ressources.
10:36 thd Would BibLibre not at least consider abstracting the search calls so that others attempting to reintroduce Zebra, Pazpar2, etc. support on top of BibLibre's Solr/Lucene work would not entail rewriting BibLibre Solr/Lucene work for better abstraction?
10:36 hdl We are willing to share ideas and development.
10:36 tajoli Well, what I want to say is that CILEA can TRY to help biblibre to develop an abstract search call interface
10:36 reed there's a separate project here and I think that's 'make koha support various search back ends'
10:36 tajoli sorry Biblibre
10:37 hdl Well reed it is not much separate. I think it could be built on top of what we did.
10:37 tajoli But with pointing that Zebra continues to have the problems:
10:37 magnus hdl: we all have limited resources
10:38 tajoli -- diffcult indexes setup
10:38 tajoli -- no ICU
10:38 tajoli -- bad facets
10:38 tajoli but
10:38 tajoli Less RAM to use
10:38 tajoli For use this is the kay point
10:39 reed hdl, good to hear -- but still is a thing that sounds like it needs additional attention
10:39 clrh I have to see how much ram is needed with solr, didn't test anymore
10:39 tajoli We can't ask to improve RAM requests
10:39 hdl big CPU consumption
10:39 tajoli big CPU consumption with solr ?
10:39 hdl bug CPU consumption is for zebra.
10:39 tajoli are you sure ?
10:40 hdl absolutely.
10:40 thd tajoli: Zebra certainly has ICU but it does not work for scan queries for facets nor truncation other than right truncation.
10:40 tajoli I don't see it.
10:40 hdl If you read some logs about performance improvements, mason pointed
10:40 hdl that you needed to set zebra on a different machine.
10:40 tajoli Ok, thank you.
10:41 hdl reed: I always said that we would like to build that.
10:41 hdl reed: but we cannot do that alone.
10:41 hdl Refactoring the C4::Search was a priority for us.
10:41 reed solr ram reqs will vary depending on updates and number of indexes and searches and catalog size and it'll be a few years before we have some stable config advice
10:41 hdl We chose the best bricks for that.
10:41 reed (I might be exagerating the case a little)
10:41 tajoli With Solr as option I don't suggest to use Zebra with ICU
10:42 hdl tajoli: said he would help us in making solr an option... any other persons  ,
10:42 hdl ?
10:43 thd hdl: Do you understand the problem that anyone starting from your work on C4:Search to add other non-Solr/Lucene options would need to rewrite all search calls to keep your Solr/Lucene work?
10:43 magnus i do not like the sound of "others attempting to reintroduce Zebra, Pazpar2, etc. support on top of BibLibre's Solr/Lucene work" - sure biblibre has put a lot into this, but why should "others" have to re-implement something that is working (although not perfectly) today?
10:43 thd I should have s/on top/along side/
10:44 hdl magnus: C4::Search refactoring was not set by BibLibre.
10:44 thd hdl?
10:44 ibot well, hdl is in France. France is in a galaxy far, far away.
10:44 hdl and is a point in 3.4
10:44 hdl forget hdl
10:44 ibot hdl: I forgot hdl
10:44 thd ahhh
10:45 hdl magnus: we worked on that... And for solr integration... because it fixed many problems at once...
10:45 hdl And would allow better end user experience.
10:45 thd hdl: However, the particular implementation of refactoring C4::Search is BibLibre's work.
10:45 tajoli I confirm, I will TRY to help to BibLibre to have Solr and Zebra as index tool in Koha.
10:46 hdl We are willing to add advanced search customization from administration.
10:46 thd hdl: Substituting one record indexing system for another is not refactoring as such.
10:46 tajoli But not in the same install, as an option to select in install
10:47 tajoli clealy with Zebra no those options:
10:47 reed tajoli, yeah, that sounds sensible
10:47 tajoli -- No ICU
10:47 tajoli -- No vanced search customization from administration
10:47 tajoli -- No improvment on facets
10:48 hdl thd: show me any other code that works as much what we did. And I will be happy
10:48 tajoli No indexes from administration
10:48 tajoli No checks on data
10:48 hdl #action work in pairs with CILEA for zebra as an option implementation
10:49 thd hdl: I am trying to understand your last post.
10:49 tajoli Etc.
10:49 tajoli Zebra as is today
10:49 irmaB and proprietary LMS already offer (or say they do) facet searching and truncation etc.
10:50 hdl and many are using solr internally
10:50 * slef = MJ Ray, worker-owner of software.coop
10:51 hdl #help new ideas for plugins to add so that the indexing could be better.
10:51 irmaB hi MJ
10:51 irmaB late ...
10:51 irmaB but here :)
10:51 slef dentist, unavoidable
10:52 thd hdl: I think I have understood your post about comparable code but stating that other work is inadequate should not be a basis for not attempting to develop a better model than other work.
10:52 slef #welovethenhs but it does mean I'm reluctant to waste public money by moving appointments
10:52 hdl josepedro: miguelxer we would appreciate your feedback
10:52 hdl on the review.
10:53 thd hdl: I do not question that much of the best work in Koha is work from BibLibre and Paul Poulain's business previously.
10:53 hdl Can I add an action from xercode as of code review on what we did ?
10:54 hdl thd: it is not a question of comparison.
10:54 magnus hdl: no one is denying that biblibre is doing good work here - it just seems odd to me that one of the biggest companies should introduce new "things" that break old "things" that a lot of people still want...
10:54 hdl There is no other code to compare.
10:54 hdl magnus: we donot want to break...
10:55 magnus good :-)
10:55 hdl But to build on safer ground.
10:55 josepedro we do not understand
10:55 thd hdl: safer ground?
10:55 hdl We would like to have your feedback from the code review you did.
10:56 thd hdl:I have been typing furiously on that since last night in addition to other days.
10:56 hdl thd: more abstract bricks so that it is more flexible.
10:56 hdl Have any thing that worked before working with the new system.
10:57 hdl And then... use that abstraction to reintroduce options
10:58 thd hdl: Yet, not everything that worked before would work with the new system otherwise we would merely be busy praising your effort without these qualifications.
10:58 hdl We are gathering use cases of searches that worked in koha previously.
10:58 thd hdl: Do not mistake that I do praise BibLibre's work.
10:58 clrh #link https://spreadsheets.google.co[…]hl=en&output=html
10:59 hdl #help please try and contribute yours
10:59 slef but not use cases like "run in less than a gig" which are also a vital concern
10:59 hdl are you having servers with less than one gig ?
10:59 josepedro we consider it a great job but we think that there are several points that need to review deeply.
10:59 slef yes, lots of our libraries have sub-gig servers
10:59 thd hdl: One thing which would have worked on Koha using Pazpar2 which needs CCL is metasearch.
10:59 josepedro for example, the last i commented you
11:00 clrh ok josepedro can you send us a mail with your points?
11:00 thd hdl: What support do you envision for metasearch?
11:00 hdl solr has internal support for metasearch.
11:00 thd hdl: To Z39.50 servers?
11:01 slef hdl: The co-op may be unusual in that we support almost as many self-hosted libraries as shared-hosted ones, but I would expect a lot of independent libraries to be worried by the increased resource demands of solr too.
11:01 thd hdl: Solr/Lucene is not the API for library databases while Z39.50/SRU is.
11:02 * magnus agrees with slef
11:02 josepedro yes, no problem. But we have already sent you something about this.
11:02 hdl slef: can you then be accurate in your demands ?
11:02 hdl Those libraries surely donot have 300000 records.
11:02 laurence left #koha
11:02 hdl And it would be quite nonesense to pretend that koha3.0 works in that context.
11:03 slef hdl: reportedly (see link I added to RFC), solr defaults to a 1Gb RAM usage.
11:03 thd hdl: Do you find database size limitations for Zebra?
11:04 hdl #action josepedro send a mail with code reviews.
11:04 hdl again, it is still work in progress.
11:04 hdl We can help.
11:04 hdl We are willing to recieve help.
11:04 reed slef, hdl - solr is just not going to be viable in small installations, it can't become a requirement for using koha
11:04 hdl Even comments.
11:04 slef hdl: I don't know how many records, but I suspect most koha libraries are smaller than that. Solr may be needed for the top 10% of libraries, but we cannot let 10% of libraries increase expense for the 90% unnecessarily, can we?
11:05 reed snap
11:05 thd hdl: I think you missed a 0 in 3 million if you intended 3 million.
11:05 hdl slef: if there is an abstraction layer you will have no problems.
11:06 hdl thd: no. 300,000 with less that 8Gb is not viable option.
11:06 hdl with koha3.2
11:06 slef reed++
11:06 magnus redd++
11:06 magnus reed++ # sorry
11:07 hdl slef: reed we are willing to help but we cannot do that alone.
11:07 thd hdl: wow, I have only tested very small record sets.
11:07 hdl tajoli: propsed to help.
11:07 slef (I don't know OTTOMH, that is)
11:07 tajoli yes, I confirm
11:07 hdl and that is fine.
11:07 reed hdl, right -- was going to say that I don't think you expect it should be a requirement for koha
11:07 hdl We will try and help him.
11:07 thd hdl: Do you have a comparison of RAM requirements in your Solr/Lucene test?
11:08 clrh nop thd I ll try to provide it
11:08 hdl #action provide a comparison of RAM requirements between zebra and solr
11:08 hdl thd: to be honest... it would require to do multiple tests.
11:09 thd hdl: how multiple?
11:09 hdl I am sure that Croswalking records in zebra is also ram demanding.
11:09 josepedro From our point of view, Koha has 3 big problems: 1- Facets. 2- Abstraction. 3- ModPerl. At present Zebra does not meet our expectations about facets, so we believe SOLR is the best solution and we would like to collaborate with BibLibre to develop this solution.
11:09 hdl josepedro: Mod Perl Plack will be another meeting.
11:09 reed re: ram requirements --- my prediction is that solr schema  tuning is going to be a very long process and so and profiling done now is likely to go out of date fast
11:10 hdl josepedro: Please keep contributing...
11:10 hdl any other questions ?
11:10 tajoli No
11:10 irmaB I propose to look at the MARC21 implications with sorl - adapting the solr configuration for MARC21
11:11 thd reed: Improvements in the sophistication of indexing may actually greatly increase RAM requirements for all options.
11:11 reed agree
11:11 hdl #action irmaB build an adaptation of MARC21 for solr
11:12 hdl #action BibLibre make a solr instance for MARC21 and publicise that to Irma
11:12 irmaB yes.
11:12 thd hdl: Did you state that you adapted an existing MARC 21 Solr/Lucene schema to UNIMARC?
11:13 hdl No.
11:13 tajoli Vufind has a MARC21 setup for Solrs
11:13 hdl tajoli: with solrmarc.
11:14 tajoli because you don't use solrmarc ?
11:14 hdl yes... we investigated that. And think that we could build bridges.
11:14 hdl No.
11:14 thd hdl: I think that was merely a confusion between your description and a comment next to yours.
11:14 hdl It was proved not to be that efficient in indexing.
11:15 magnus hmmm... seems to me the main focus now should be on getting solr and zebra to both be options along side each other - otherwise it sounds like the solr solution will have a hard time becoming part of koha/replacing zebra...
11:15 thd hdl: How do you return a complete record from Solr/Lucene?
11:15 hdl And would have required too much time.... and would not have enable ppl wirh the flexibility we wanted to provide them.
11:16 clrh thd, you can look in Search::IndexRecord
11:16 tajoli Clearly is not a task for 3.4 (april 2010)
11:16 hdl magnus: we cannot. This is why we asker for help.
11:16 hdl tajoli: agreed..
11:16 tajoli But for 3.6
11:16 clrh a record is constructed before indexing
11:16 clrh s/before/during
11:16 hdl But anyway, it is work on progress.
11:17 hdl and if all the RFCs cannot be integrated into 3.4 RM is fine with that.
11:17 thd clrh: I had looked at addbiblio.pl
11:18 slef hdl: it is difficult to persuade 90% of libraries that they should fund something to enable support for the biggest 10%, and I mentioned last meeting that I don't think our members will pay from the co-op's community donation fund. You see our difficulty here?
11:18 hdl slef: our work was only very little funded.
11:18 hdl And we did that.
11:19 magnus hdl: which is cool, but it seems there are lots of fun things to do with solr that may not be so important compared to getting solr into koha in the first place (which seems to imply making zebra and solr work as options next to each other)
11:19 thd hdl: Do you not think you should have tried to obtain more funding for a development with such a large scope?
11:20 tajoli well, for me the main bonus of Solrs is to replace Zebra +ICU
11:20 hdl thd: noone would have ever funded refactoring.
11:20 hdl you donot want to redo things.
11:20 hdl libraries want features.
11:20 slef hdl: that is your decision. Maybe this is easier for a private company. I just explain the difficulty of our membership organisation in the hope you will comprehend it.
11:20 tajoli Is clear that Zebra+ICU doesn't work.
11:20 hdl I explain ours.
11:21 slef hdl: that's not true. The co-op funded a lot of SQL-injection/placeholder cleanup way back when.
11:21 thd tajoli: It works mostly but with important exceptions.
11:21 tajoli So every library with a complex charset (like Arab+latin) can't use koha in good way now
11:21 slef I think someone now is funding template refactoring (sorry I forget who).
11:21 thd tajoli: Yes that is correct.
11:21 tajoli Koha in fact is use on a simlgle charset enviroment
11:22 tajoli The english speaking countriies and contry like Italy with latin charset only
11:22 hdl ok.
11:22 tajoli And in this situation Zebra is good
11:22 hdl ok.
11:23 hdl I propose to stop the meeting now.
11:23 tajoli But if you need two charset, problems arise
11:23 hdl And if you have other questions, or concerns or feed back on test instances, let us know.
11:23 hdl on list please
11:24 tajoli bye
11:24 tajoli left #koha
11:24 slef catalyst are funding template refactoring
11:26 hdl #endmeeting

11:26 clrh Thanks all! Happy to see more interractions today :)
11:26 magnus yeah, interesting meeting!
11:27 hdl slef: we all contribute. There are many places to work on.
11:27 hdl We will have work on Acquisitions and serials.
11:28 hdl But rather than letting ppl alone... working in small groups of interest could make better work in the end.
11:28 thd hdl: I have a concern that if we take the approach that refactoring will never be funded too much new development will be at the expense of old features.
11:28 hdl thd: this has already been the case... And will be the case unless we have unit TESTS. for all.
11:29 hdl every single bug every single feature should have one.
11:29 thd hdl: I know that it has already been the case and that BibLibre have been great victims of the problem as well as perpetrators.
11:29 hdl But it costs... And Libraries have not been used to pay much on Koha developments. only the minimum
11:30 irmaB G'night all and thanks hdl for the good meeting.
11:30 hdl thx irmaB
11:30 magnus i guess getting funding for writing tests is about as easy as getting funding for refactoring...
11:30 irmaB left #koha
11:31 hdl magnus: you are right.
11:31 thd hdl: We need a better scheme for distributing costs where more than one library contributes to payments.
11:31 hdl This is why we try and make those refactorings part of new features.
11:31 slef Would someone review a patch branch for me, please?
11:31 hdl But it needs planning and sharing.
11:31 hdl slef: which one ?
11:32 thd hdl: I still think that we have a different conception of refactoring.
11:33 magnus planning_and_sharing++
11:33 thd hdl: Refactoring is not rewriting it is abstracting.
11:33 slef hdl: thanks but I can't find the bloody one for HEAD. Only for 3.0. Interested?
11:33 hdl Sure ;)
11:33 hdl Will try and make it in for 3.0.x
11:34 slef git@gitorious.org:koha/mainline.git for-3.0/bug_5394
11:34 hdl If you find it for HEAD then let me know.
11:34 slef once I free some disk space, I'll port it to HEAD
11:35 BobB Late here now.  I'm off.  Good night.

11:44 magnus lunchtime!
11:44 magnus is now known as magnus_a
11:51 thd hdl: Is 300,000 records the largest BibLibre library?

12:00 Joubu left #koha
12:08 slef thd: might be commercially-sensitive info.
12:10 juan_xerc left #koha
12:11 thd slef: It should not be in the sense in which I am asking.
12:13 thd slef: If 300,000 records needs 8GB for Zebra that must not be a base number of records per GB or some services which use Zebra would be unaffordable to create.
12:14 thd slef:  Think of Biblios.net with millions of records indexed in Zebra.
12:17 kf thd: I think the 8gb are disk space not ram
12:17 kf we once made a bigger database for a demo, I think 250.000?
12:18 kf the indexes get pretty big, but we have a lot of indexes.
12:18 thd kf: hdl and I were having multiple linguistic confusions during the meeting.
12:18 kf I just read back
12:18 alohalog_ joined #koha
12:19 kf I can not confirm zebra + icu does not work at all
12:19 kf we are using it
12:19 kf with hebrew
12:19 kf and german umlauts, french diacritics
12:19 alohalog left #koha
12:19 thd kf: I tried to qualify that statement correctly every time it was raised.
12:19 kf the truncation and scan problems, yes. you have to live without some of the search features, but not sure nothing can be done about that.
12:20 kf the problem I see is, that these problems are not really discusses
12:20 kf d
12:20 thd kf: Money for a support contract with Index Data could fix those problems.
12:20 kf it's not like the community decided to go to solr - it's biblibre's decision. and the decision process is missing.
12:22 kf and although I would love to have those solr features, I think we need to have an option for those real small libraries... and it will need time to prove a better solution.
12:22 thd kf: Solr/Lucene is a good choice.  The implementation is merely problematic for adding the feature along side other features.
12:22 kf thd: perhaps that could have been funded by the community, lots of people, smaller amounts
12:23 kf thd: I am not against it, but as I stated previously - it should be an option - at least at first
12:23 nengard joined #koha
12:23 kf and zebra is very fast in indexing
12:23 thd kf: Many things can be funded with many people and small amounts.
12:23 kf yeah, but it has to be discussed before development starts to make that work
12:24 nengard thd i like that quote - we need to add that to the quotes
12:24 nengard which i have no idea how to do
12:24 thd nengard: neither do I.
12:24 kf I have
12:24 kf ... @quote add ...
12:25 kf want to try nengard?
12:25 nengard k
12:25 nengard @quote add thd> Many things can be funded with many people and small amounts.
12:25 munin nengard: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
12:25 nengard hmm

12:26 munin kf: The operation succeeded.
12:26 kf huh

12:26 kf ah no
12:26 kf that was not my quote
12:26 kf it was thd
12:26 bigbrovar left #koha
12:26 kf ah... he said it to me... right

12:26 kf :(
12:27 slef but still infinitely better than Initial Citylink
12:27 kf ?
12:27 slef kf: http://identi.ca/mjray
12:28 slef I've been having a few problems with a courier.
12:29 kf but why kf #fail?
12:31 slef confusion
12:31 nengard data inmport question "Can a record import to Koha with no values in the three required fixed fields?"
12:31 slef sorry, didn't mean anything by it
12:31 slef nengard: not from tools last I tried.  Would expect bulkmarcimport to barf too.
12:31 nengard that's what I thought
12:31 nengard thanks for confirming
12:32 slef nengard: might be able to import from Z39.50... I don't remember.
12:32 nengard what about using the command line?
12:32 slef want me to check?
12:32 nengard yes please :)
12:32 nengard and thank you
12:34 thd kf: I think that if there had been better communication by BibLibre with the rest of the Koha community about problems with Zebra ICU support etc. they would not have been in such a rush to add Solr/Lucene without preserving Zebra.
12:34 kf yes, I agree
12:36 thd s/etc./etc. we would have formed a plan to fund fixing the bugs and/
12:37 slef nengard: looks like it depends on C4::AddBiblio which depends on the biblioitems columns being NOT NULL or some similar restriction. Checking that on a live server
12:38 nengard this is so silly ... libraries used to delete the fixed fields to save space cause they were being charged too much, this is the second library I've had tell me this - so when you go to import their old records they don't work - stupid proprietary nonsense!
12:39 slef nengard: erm. Ow. Which fields do you think are required?
12:39 nengard 000, 007, 008
12:39 nengard or one of the three
12:39 nengard these are the ones that are missing
12:39 thd LibLime once paid for a support contract for Zebra with Index Data but such burdens should not fall on one company alone.
12:40 thd nengard: The original MARC Koha clobbered those fields as well.
12:40 slef nengard: oh, it'll also depend if MARC::Batch can read them without those!
12:41 thd nengard: kados wrote a script for NPL to reconstruct at least 000 from other data in the records.
12:43 nengard and is that script available in the wild?
12:43 jwagner joined #koha
12:48 thd nengard: Perhaps NPL has a copy but it may be lost on some LibLime servers.
12:48 nengard figures
12:48 nengard okey dokey - at least we've confirmed some details
12:48 thd nengard: kados had told me he spent two weeks working on the script.
12:49 kf we normally use some default values if we can't make real fields
12:49 thd nengard: I have a better option for you.
12:49 kf it's nice to have the year in 000 for publication year seach in opac
12:49 nengard thd whatcha got? :)
12:49 thd nengard: Distributed Z39.50 searches with record matching.
12:50 hdl thd: We have a library which has 800,000 records.
12:50 thd hdl: I think that we had another linguistic confusion.
12:50 hdl thd: and we read that one library in India has 7M records.
12:50 thd hdl: How much RAM do those libraries need?
12:53 hdl For 300,000 records, it is not more a RAM problem than a CPU consumption.
12:53 hdl We are trying to use zebra with no icu... in order to check whether it is icu.
12:54 hdl kf: Taking decisions... about money or technical decisions... is a problem we raised... and that some told there was no problems.
12:55 thd hdl: Do you mean a real time problem for CPU usage during queries or an indexing CPU problem.
12:55 hdl thd: realtime problems... zebrasrv using one proc for him alone.
12:56 hdl when you launch multiple concurrent queries... your server goes wild.
12:56 thd hdl: I probably was not paying attention to Koha and I know that support companies not using the ICU may not have investigated well.
12:57 thd hdl: That is the worst problem identified thus far.
12:57 hdl thd: about distributed solution... are you talking about the work that was in an unstable status (despite quite promising) from LibLime ?
12:58 thd hdl: No I mean my own work in PHP which needs porting to Perl.
12:58 hdl nice...
12:59 hdl there is also iirc apache2-pazpar2 or masterkey for that.
12:59 thd hdl: I keep it a secret because not everyone would think the default configuration to be nice.
12:59 slef nengard: I'm not happy about the newsletter linking to biblibre.fr which requires one to pass an audio-visual ability test to comment.  Could we have newsletter articles hosted on k-c.o instead or is that a ton more work?
13:00 nengard It would requires authors of posts in the newsletter to publish to k-c.org
13:00 nengard I can say that if your info isn't on the official koha site then I can't include it
13:01 nengard or I can start publishing entire articles in the newsletter instead of short blurbs (but I fear people won't read them)
13:01 nengard I'm up for any of these options
13:01 slef I think it's a bit odd clrh didn't link to the RFC or email thread where some claims in that article are queried, and other drawbacks are mentioned, but that's not an editing/compilation matter.
13:02 slef nengard: short blurbs are fine. Remind me: do we have feedwordpress installed?
13:02 nengard I don't know ... wizzyrea would know that
13:02 nengard not sure I have access to the plugins page ... off to check
13:02 slef I'll look into it, if you're not against the idea.
13:02 nengard yeah I don't have plugin access
13:03 nengard and I don't like the idea of all posts from other Koha sites coming into the official site
13:03 nengard things get in that don't belong that way
13:03 nengard if I post something Koha related on the ByWater site that is more ByWater related it shouldn't go to the k-c.org site
13:03 slef no, not all posts, just selected ones
13:03 nengard oh cool - if we can do that then a-ok with me :)
13:04 slef I'm thinking set up feedwordpress to read category feeds like for-koha-newsletter (which I just imagined) into a koha-newsletter-proposals category on k-c.o and set it to manual update
13:04 nengard that sounds fine with me
13:05 nengard we might want to put it on the agenda for next meeting so others know the options/plan
13:05 slef then newsletter time, you'd tell it to update, see what comes in, delete crap, reorder what you want, then maybe just copy-paste the category index into the newsletter, with header/footer.
13:05 slef yeah, I'll write something up
13:05 nengard awesome
13:05 slef @later tell wizzyrea do we have feedwordpress on koha-community.org?
13:05 munin slef: The operation succeeded.
13:05 nengard well starting in 2011 it's a bi-monthly newsletter - it's too hard to get enough content from people for monthly
13:06 slef nengard: Shame, it seems like the newsletter is really popular, which I put down to your great work and persistent promotion.
13:06 slef nengard: today I got email about it from a librarian before I saw the newsletter myself.
13:07 nengard well then maybe we need to put that to a vote too at the meeting
13:07 slef I can appreciate the struggle for monthly, though.  It's more stuff that it's hard to get paid for.
13:07 nengard I'll do it monthly but I don't want to have to keep sending out 4 reminders to get articles
13:07 nengard it's too much nagging for me :)
13:07 jcamins_a is now known as jcamins
13:07 slef want me to schedule them for you? ;-)
13:08 hdl nengard: the link could be done on the RFC around solr and the progress. iirc we posted that.
13:08 hdl or use the meetings logs.
13:09 nengard slef yes
13:09 slef nengard: You really don't want to know how many emails we send co-op members... one member's email was down for a few months and I reconnected him yesterday and he had 2800 emails.  Our daily newsletter is a lot of that.
13:09 nengard and hdl, actually I link to the RFC too in that newsletter so maybe we didn't need the two posts, but like I said I can't get enough content so I put them both in :)
13:10 nengard slef hehe - scary stuff :) hehe
13:11 hdl sorry nengard thanks for your action
13:11 slef nengard: yes to scheduling?  After I write the category idea, shall I base suggested reminders on your emails and send them to you for approval?
13:11 nengard slef yes to it all
13:11 nengard reminders and scheduling
13:11 nengard yes to anything that means less work for me :)
13:11 nengard yes to anything that means helping nengard do her many jobs :)
13:12 slef nengard: do I send to your on-list email address?
13:13 nengard yes please - nengard@gmail.com

13:17 nengard someone who knows the time please update: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]g,_5_January_2010
13:17 nengard slef I don't ...
13:18 nengard I could if needed but I'd probably need some instructions
13:23 hdl nengard: I think it was 9Pm ?
13:23 hdl (Paris time)
13:24 hdl (maybe previous logs could give you the precise time)
13:26 hdl thd: kf about communication, I donot think we did not communicate We are really willing to do things with the community. We organise meetings.
13:27 hdl we try to demonstrate.
13:27 thd hdl: I do not blame you.
13:28 thd hdl: I think that some problems could have been addressed with the LibLime support contract with Index Data.
13:28 kf hdl: yes, I see that you make an effort. I was talkign about the zebra problems you encountered.
13:28 kf at the last meeting you said: biblibre made a choice
13:29 hdl thd: it could have... But those problems were not encountered at that time...
13:29 kf I would liked to see this happen in the community - the whole, those problem exist, we tried that that that...see bug ....
13:30 thd hdl: It is very unfortunate that we had not recognised the lack of Unicode support from the outset with Zebra.
13:31 thd hdl: We could have been ahead of the issue if we had been aware of lack of Unicode support at the outset.
13:31 gmcharlt Zebra lacks Unicode support?  that is demonstrably false
13:32 hdl gmcharlt: it lacks unicode support for search.
13:33 hdl icu is a friend of yaz, not really integrated.
13:36 thd gmcharlt: Zebra had no support for searching using Unicode when Koha adopted Zebra and we had not even realised.
13:37 owen FWIW, NPL does not have a copy of a script to reconstruct 000 from other data in MARC
13:37 owen ...if anyone is still wondering.
13:37 thd owen: I doubted that you had the code.
13:37 gmcharlt thd: considering the hundreds of Koha installations that are successfully storing and searching MARC records using UTF-8, whatever applied at the time Zebra was adopted is a moot point
13:38 thd owen: However, I hoped that you would.
13:38 thd gmcharlt: I think that I still did not state it correctly.
13:38 owen thd: Considering some of the errors in our MARC records, I'm not sure how well it worked...
13:40 thd gmcharlt: Without the problematic implementation of the ICU for Zebra, there is no tokenisation and some other support for more than circa 250 characters in Zebra.
13:41 thd gmcharlt: Tokenisation without the ICU is based on single byte character encoding.
13:42 thd hdl: Can you help me distinguish better what cannot be done without using the ICU in Zebra?
13:45 thd left #koha
13:46 thd joined #koha
13:50 kf gmcharlt: without icu it's not possible to search for Hebrew - at least we found no other way
13:50 kf and using ICU means you loose some other features. but for our library it worked so far.
13:50 gmcharlt thanks - that is the sort of specific information I'm looking for
13:50 kf the facets as is are a problem - not sure how much of it is zebra and what could be solved and what not
13:51 kf gmcharlt: standard indexing and hebrew records meant you got always all hebrew records back - with every hebre search
13:51 kf term
13:51 kf we didn't see that with a few test records, but icu solved the problem and we were able to add rules ignore diacritics and such for seach
13:52 kf but some search options in koha don't work with icu - I have to retest that sometime with 3.2
13:54 druthb is now known as drb_mtg
13:54 gmcharlt kf: would you mind emailing me a few of your Hebrew MARC records?
13:56 kf gmcharlt: I can do that - but there is a problem
13:56 kf they have hebrew in 880
13:56 kf and not sure that is indexed in standard
13:56 hdl gmcharlt: I can send you some corean, some japanese hebrew unimarc records too
13:57 gmcharlt kf: no problem, I can deal with the 880s
13:57 gmcharlt hdl: thanks
13:57 hdl (they are committed in the solr branch iirc.)
13:57 owen jwagner: Two months ago you got an offer of help on Bug 3509. Did anything come of that?
13:57 kf ok, I will make a note - I have a sample file for my bug 5406 that I wanted to clean up - it has multiple languages too

14:00 kf gmcharlt: which email address?
14:00 gmcharlt gmcharlt at gmail.com
14:01 kf ok
14:06 davi joined #koha
14:07 thd gmcharlt: Some people had speculated that ICU problems with Zebra such as no facets were misconfiguration problems.
14:09 thd gmcharlt: I have determined that facet and truncation issues when using the ICU are confirmed bugs in the Index Data bugs database.
14:12 thd Unfortunately, I only found the official bug reports after scouring the documentation for configuration options which were not there to find.
14:17 owen If I got to test a patch for a bug marked "needs signoff" and the patch doesn't apply, should I mark it as "failed qa?"
14:18 owen s/got/go
14:24 gmcharlt owen: hmm - maybe mark it as 'patch does not apply'
14:24 gmcharlt less strong of a statement, as a patch failing to apply is often due to a matter of timing
14:25 owen I have been making comments to that effect, just didn't know if we needed a specific patch status
14:27 drb_mtg is now known as druthb
14:28 kf owen: perhaps set back to --?
14:29 kf gmcharlt: failed qa is a new status in the pull down - we don't have one for does not apply yet :)
14:30 gmcharlt kf: we do now :)
14:31 kf ah :)

14:49 jwagner owen, was off in a meeting -- sorry, what were you asking about?
14:50 owen jwagner: You got an offer of help on Bug 3509. Did anything come of that?
14:50 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3509 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Batch item edit
14:51 jwagner Nothing at the moment -- we haven't had time to go back and pull it up or work on it.
14:51 jwagner It's still on my list to do
14:51 jwagner Was just talking about that one, as a matter of fact -- trying to figure out how to merge functionality with what's in 3.2 now
14:52 slef owen: are we going with the liblime one or the parallel biblibre one?
14:52 jwagner There are parts of both that would be good to keep, question is how best to merge.  Which edit interface screen would be best? The one in our screenshot, or the BibLibre approach which looks like the standard item edit screen?
14:53 hdl slef which ?
14:53 slef hdl: batch item edit
14:55 wizzyrea Having seen both, NEKLS feels that the searching interface in the harley batch edit is too dangerous. We only train people to use the barcode entry portion of it.
14:55 hdl jwagner: if you would make the select interface a new page that would enter send  itemnumbers or barcodes to the tools in...
14:56 hdl Then it could be quite handy to reconcile both.
14:56 wizzyrea it is far too easy to select items unintentionally, and there's no undo
14:56 jwagner Yes, the ability to scan in barcodes at the batch edit screen is one of the things we liked about yours.
14:56 hdl librarians need a validation of the selection before doing update.
14:56 jwagner We wanted to bring that capability in.
14:56 jwagner hdl, and I've also had sites ask for output of the edit to go to a file or something more than just the screen display.
14:57 jwagner i.e., a report of which barcodes were edited.
15:00 hdl jwagner: that would be good.
15:01 hdl maybe we could serailize results in an array and use json or anything to display results.

16:34 owen jwagner: I'm testing the patch for Bug 4329 and I have a question
16:35 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4329 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, chris, NEW, OPAC search by shelving location option
16:35 jwagner yes?
16:35 owen Do you need to modify the configuration of zebra?
16:35 jwagner Shouldn't have to -- shelving location is one of the delivered searches as far as I know.
16:36 jwagner melm 952$c      location
16:36 jwagner Unless a site has modified record.abs (or maybe early sites didn't have that?) should work as is.
16:36 owen Okay, now I'm getting results. I guess you can't get results if all you do is check the box but don't supply search terms
16:37 jwagner No, I got results just by checking the box.  Dumb question -- did you search a location that you knew had items?
16:37 owen Hm, maybe not.
16:38 jwagner And a question for you -- I didn't control this with a syspref partly because so many people were complaining about proliferating sysprefs at the time.  But do you think it should be?
16:38 jwagner You can hide it with a jquery -- I designed it that way -- but maybe a syspref would be better?
16:38 owen The presence of the shelving location search?
16:38 jwagner Yes, on the advanced search screen.  Some sites don't use shelving locations.
16:39 owen I would be content to make it a default and wait for others to clamor for a system pref.
16:39 wizzyrea probably the code to suppress something you've added should be in the bug report with the patch. But that's (a lot of extra) work
16:40 wizzyrea though I'm for adding that kind of stuff to the wiki
16:40 wizzyrea also work
16:40 owen It is in this case
16:42 jwagner wizzyrea, the jquery to hide it is in the bugzilla entry.
16:42 owen I find myself expecting that if I search by itemtype and shelving location I expect it to do an AND search rather than OR
16:43 wizzyrea for that one, it is
16:43 owen Is that just me?
16:43 wizzyrea i'm thinking of the other ones ;)
16:43 jwagner No, that's one of the problems with combining searches, I think.
16:44 owen Searching by keyword + itemtype gives me an AND search
16:45 jwagner It's been so long since I worked on this, can't remember details.  I do remember a lot of trouble getting it to OR within the location set if you selected multiples.
16:46 owen wizzyrea: Is the shelving loc. search on your system?

17:06 jwagner On 3693, maybe css would work better.  At the time I didn't know how to do it any other way.  Sysprefs might be easier for sites to implement, though.

18:05 wizzyrea owen: re 3262 I don't think the full name is being generated by the script for the homebranch
18:05 wizzyrea I personally would like to have them both standard on the code :P
18:06 wizzyrea but I understand why people would want the full name, since not everyone uses sane library codes
18:06 wizzyrea and I don't mean that as an indictment of how others do things
