01:11 ybeddyj joined #koha
01:12 ybeddyj hey
01:12 ybeddyj Hello
01:12 ybeddyj are you guys sleeping?
01:13 wasabi yes, i am sleeping
01:13 ybeddyj lol
01:14 ybeddyj well i live in jamaica and i noticed that you guys have a list of install bases and jamaica isnt on it
01:14 ybeddyj i want to change that asap
01:14 robin ybeddyj: yay! :)
01:15 robin wasabi: it's past 2 in the afternoon, time to stop sleeping.
01:15 ybeddyj well truth is i did a little bit already
01:16 ybeddyj but i realize that the copy i installed from koha.org git wasnt the community so i'm backing away from it getting a "proper" copy
01:17 robin yeah, www.koha-community.org is where you want to start
01:18 ybeddyj unfortunately it wasnt until i was reading some blog somewhere that i came upon the undesired but unavoidable switch
01:19 ybeddyj so now i'm installing from your git and just about configuring
01:19 ybeddyj i also want to send some donations to the way of the community as soon as a get paid for this job
01:20 chris fixing bugs is the best way to do that
01:20 ybeddyj well that too i want to address
01:21 chris we have no real way to collect/use monetary donations
01:21 chris so much prefer time/documentation/code
01:23 ybeddyj i currently control the webhost that the package will be installed on also it uses namedvirtualhost and i wanted to suggest a modification/addition to the configuration section of the installation
01:23 chris most people run named hosts
01:24 chris the default is ports for those who dont have access/skills to run dns
01:25 chris usually the people who can set up namedhosts can edit the conf file :-) but it wouldnt hurt to have it option
01:25 ybeddyj i was thinking of adding a block that one could optionally decide to configure that will allow us to set things like the servername ports etc
01:25 chris when it was first written that was the default
01:25 chris it changed to ports
01:25 chris round 2003
01:25 ybeddyj ok i see
01:26 chris having an option wouldnt hurt though
01:27 ybeddyj also i would like if the config section sets the directory permissions in the koha-httpd.conf file
01:28 ybeddyj personally i put this at the top before the first virtual host section "<Directory /usr/share/koha>     AllowOverride None     Order Deny,Allow     Deny from all </Directory>"
01:30 ybeddyj then for each virtualhost section i added the following "    <Directory /usr/share/koha/opac>         Options FollowSymLinks         AllowOverride All         Order allow,deny         Allow from all     </Directory>"
01:31 ybeddyj i would love if this could be added to the conf file when standard installation is selected
01:32 ybeddyj i dont know anything about perl but i'm going to look to find where to add that and try to submit code as is necessary
01:32 wasabi http://koha-community.org/get-[…]d/for-developers/
01:33 ybeddyj would that be ok chris?
01:33 ybeddyj checking link wasabi
01:33 chris yup
01:34 wasabi http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/
01:34 wasabi oops , http://bugs.koha-community.org
01:41 ybeddyj by the way i'm new to this whole thingy, i wondered if there is a way to do an upgrade versus an install
01:42 wasabi start with the install first
01:43 wasabi the use git to update your code-base
01:44 wasabi then a DB upgrade will happen, on the next admin login
01:44 wasabi thats the best way to upgrade
01:45 eter joined #koha
01:45 chris or use the packages
01:45 chris http://debian.koha-community.org/
01:50 ybeddyj ok great, so if i get it correctly after already installed. if i do the git clone part then "git checkout -b myinstall origin" i should then proceed to the admin login page?
01:52 eter oh by the way the readme needs this tiny adjustment "git clone git://git.koha-community.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone"
01:53 chris which readme?
01:53 chris we have too many of them im afraid ;)
01:54 chris ybeddyj: usually you do the git clone first, then install
01:54 eter im ure of the ubuntu one i think the pub/scm part needs to go
01:54 chris yep, but which ubuntu one :)
01:55 eter install.ubuntu
01:55 chris eter: did you install from git or tarball?
01:56 chris if you have git, you could do a patch for that right now
01:56 eter git
01:56 ybeddyj chris: yes i'm refering to after an already initial running system...my bad no pointing that out
01:57 chris ybeddyj: well you should never have to do another clone  ... after your initial one ;)
01:57 chris have you read the wiki page about working with git?
01:58 chris http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Control_Using_Git
01:58 chris specifically
01:58 chris http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_Git#See_changes_.27origin.27_Git_repo_from_your_branch
01:58 ybeddyj still trying to cram all the details...newbie stresses lol
01:58 chris eter: you want me to walk you through making a patch and submitting it? :)
01:59 eter yes
01:59 chris ok
01:59 chris have you used git before at all?
02:00 chris if you havent on that machine you probably need to do thsi first
02:00 chris http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]l_some_parameters
02:00 eter actually newbie/ybeddyj using the xchat instead of the mbit thingy
02:01 eter but also wanting to kep track of the convo
02:01 chris once you have set up those parameters, let me know
02:01 eter i've used it for installing only koha
02:07 eter finish setting parameters should i go on to the  repo clone?
02:07 eter chilts,
02:07 eter chris,
02:08 chris only if you havent cloned it already
02:08 chris if you have
02:08 eter its cloned on the server but i'm now settingup on my latop
02:08 chris in that case, yep
02:16 eter git cloned
02:20 chris right now we are ready to edit that file
02:21 chris probably you will want to create a branch to work in too
02:21 cait left #koha
02:22 eter ok tell me about it ...going on to that section now
02:22 chris git checkout -b documentation_fixes
02:22 chris or some name that makes sense to you
02:23 eter should i do this before " git checkout -b mywork origin"?
02:23 chris instead of
02:23 chris unless you want to call your branch mywork
02:23 eter i had started doing it form the wiki
02:24 chris you can change mywork to whatever you want
02:24 chris its just a suggestion
02:24 chris i usually call my branches something that means something
02:24 eter ok well i'll do over and  call it ybeddyj
02:24 eter i see
02:24 chris i wouldnt do that either
02:25 chris you never want to do all your changes in one branch, you want a branch per topic
02:25 eter ok so many branches for area/type of fix is the way then
02:26 eter ok i did the docfix branch
02:27 chris right you can edit the file now, and make your change, and save it
02:27 eter ok
02:31 eric_b is now known as ebegin
02:33 chris once that is done
02:33 chris git commit filename
02:33 ebegin left #koha
02:34 eter ok i did both ubuntu files commit in a sec
02:34 chris if you want to commit them both, then list both filenames
02:35 eter oops never did the bug submission to get the bug id going to do that now
02:38 eter do i need to create a separate account for bugzilla or it will work with the one i just crreated for koha-community
02:41 chris separate
02:49 eter did commit
02:49 chris excellent
02:49 chris git format-patch origin
02:50 eter did
02:50 chris cool
02:50 chris if you want you can have a look at that file, check it looks ok
02:50 chris the next step is to send it to the patches mailing list
02:50 chris http://lists.koha-community.or[…]info/koha-patches
02:51 robin ibot: what now is <reply>Now is the time for all good threads to block for I/O.
02:51 ibot robin: no idea
02:51 robin ibot: what now is <reply>Now \is the time for all good threads to block for I/O.
02:51 ibot robin: i don't know
02:51 robin silly ibot
02:51 chris you'll want to sign up here, so it doesnt hold your mail for moderation
02:51 chris then
02:51 chris git send-email name-of-your.patch
02:51 eter ok
02:52 chris (if it complains you dont have send-email .. apt-get install git-email)
02:53 eter sure did
02:53 chris and once you have done that, you're done :-)
02:54 chris if you want bonus points, you can attach the patch to the bug also
02:57 eter ok
03:02 eter now on to find where to modify the conf file....(scripts,vars)

09:37 hdl hi Amit
09:37 hdl how are you ?
09:37 savitra Hi Henri..
09:38 savitra good time to talk about acq work?
09:38 Amit Hi hdl
09:38 hdl Hi savitra.
09:38 hdl Yes it could be  good time.
09:39 mib_lvlo8 left #koha
09:39 savitra great..so I suppose you have seen the RFCs we had posted a while back..
09:39 jransom Hi hdl
09:39 hdl hi jransom
09:39 hdl savitra: yes.
09:39 hdl Very interesting.
09:40 hdl (just a moment so that I can grab the links)
09:40 savitra sure..
09:41 savitra so those processes are common here in India..all academic libraries follow them..
09:41 savitra the RFCs are here: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.[…]DI-td3049357.html
09:43 hdl found that.
09:43 hdl thanks
09:43 savitra sure..
09:44 hdl your Payment process RFC covers much of what we are to do.
09:45 hdl I think that we should try and organize and maybe work in pair.
09:45 hdl Our work on that will begin in January.
09:45 hdl see http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ce_management_RFC
09:45 savitra I see..we expect to start in January as well..
09:45 hdl It kind of looks quite the same.
09:45 savitra ok..let me take a look at that RFC..
09:46 hdl We are writing the use cases and making mockups so that it would be clear as of what we engage to do.
09:48 savitra ok..I am looking at it..but it appears more about additional fees..
09:48 hdl If you see no objection to that, i think that we could share branches on git.koha-community.org and arrange weekly meetings.
09:48 Oak joined #koha
09:48 savitra our RFC is more about capturing information about payments that is made to the book seller..(cheque no. date, notes..)..
09:49 hdl savitra: I overlooked the RFC definition...
09:50 hdl What StEtienne university ask is an Invoice management.
09:50 hdl (So as to get what has been paid.
09:50 hdl )
09:51 savitra ah ok. all right that sounds the same..
09:51 hdl (which looks quite close to what you are to do)
09:51 savitra yes it does..
09:51 hdl So I think that we have much to gain to share work and views..
09:51 savitra so no problems..we can share branches..
09:51 savitra yes..sure..
09:52 hdl Would you be ok to have regular meetings around that... ?
09:52 savitra yes..weekly meetings may be a bit tough..all weeks..
09:52 savitra so we can have weekly meetings..but I may have to cancel sometimes..
09:52 hdl bi-weekly then ?
09:53 savitra bi-weekly sounds better, yes..
09:53 hdl Maybe we could sign off one an other... And add public remotes form oen another...
09:54 hdl We could announce that on koha-devel, share work and ask for feed back from the community.
09:54 savitra sure..sounds good..
09:54 savitra how many people will work on this from your side?
09:55 hdl 1,5 person... for 3 months.
09:55 hdl development is due for March.
09:55 hdl or April
09:56 hdl But there are many parts to that.
09:56 hdl Would you work on a Template::Toolkit base ? or HTML::Template ?
09:57 savitra hmm..I did not see this project to be that big..
09:57 hdl how many persons would be working on that from your side ?
09:58 hdl and what is your schedule ?
09:58 savitra I was thinking more like 1.5 person-month total for this..
09:59 savitra the schedule is not fixed yet..there has been some delay from the client side..
09:59 savitra so I think we will be ok with your March/
09:59 savitra April deadlines..
10:00 hdl (actually, the work also is on the orders and basket searches... So is a little be more global than just adding Payment)
10:01 savitra ok..
10:02 savitra I would like to see your documentation on this..
10:02 hdl I will send you that next week.
10:02 savitra and then we can work out scope of work for each side?
10:02 hdl sounds good.
10:04 hdl would you be able to share documentation too ?
10:04 savitra yes..sure..we have some mockups already..
10:04 hdl very nice.
10:05 savitra well, those are really screenshots from another LMS that is commonly used here..
10:05 hdl hehe...
10:05 savitra :>
10:05 savitra but I think useful to understand what is required..not necessarily how it work be designed on Koha..
10:06 savitra we will send additional documentation as well.
10:06 * hdl agrees
10:06 savitra on the template..
10:06 savitra I guess we use html:template..
10:07 hdl I was thinking that since Template::Toolkit was to be used in 3.4 maybe any new additional page should try and use that.
10:09 savitra hmm..ok, not a problem..
10:09 hdl But maybe it would be an over load in the process.
10:10 hdl feel free to comment
10:11 savitra overloading sounds ok to me..we will give it a try..
10:11 savitra I think you guys have much more experience with Koha..so we will probably defer to you on such things..
10:12 hdl So next action is : sending you our documentation. waiting for yours. commenting on that via email.
10:12 hdl Posting all that on the wiki.
10:13 hdl And agree on how we share work.
10:14 savitra yes..we can target to do that by end of year I think..
10:15 savitra I will send over our documentation by end of next week.
10:16 hdl sounds good...
10:16 hdl same for us.
10:16 savitra all right..
10:16 hdl Then a meeting at the beginning of the year
10:16 savitra sure..
10:32 hdl savitra: Seeing all your RFCs, it would be quite the same scope that what we should work on.
10:33 hdl savitra: so really it could be very interesting.
10:34 hdl savitra: a quite important  change that would occur also for us would be that there would be a list of persons allowed to USE (spend or engage) on budgets.
10:34 hdl anyway, we shal send you all the things we will work on...
10:34 hdl We really would enjoy working with you.

12:46 druthb HarryH:  What were you doing just before that error?
12:46 hdl joined #koha
12:48 druthb That error is pretty deep in the network layer, but perlmoks (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=642313 ) suggests that it's looking for an IP address, and not getting one.
12:49 druthb Just guessin', but somewhere in settings is looking for an internet address, and not finding one.  a Z39.50 target with no address in the box might do that, if it wasn't caught sooner than that.
12:51 HarryH druthb: after upgrading I have started the admin web. This ended with this error message
12:52 druthb Hrm.  Keep checkin' with folks.  It's early yet; usually in a couple or three hours, most of the US folks are on, and there might be someone with a better idea then.

14:16 owen I'm trying to sign off on a patch, but I see a minor change I think should be made
14:17 owen Can I make the change and sign off at the same time? What is the proper procedure?
14:18 gmcharlt owen: six of one, half dozen of the other
14:18 gmcharlt for a minor typo fix, making the changing and signing off is OK
14:19 gmcharlt but some contributors may prefer that you not do that so that they can merge back with the public repo more easily
14:19 gmcharlt depends on how they handle their patches - if you were signing off one of mine, I wouldn't mind
14:24 owen Thanks gmcharlt
14:27 * druthb ponders how to reuse/repurpose the little crate that the clementines came in.
14:27 Brooke puppet stage, obviously.
14:27 Brooke give it to a children's Librarian
14:30 druthb It's not-quite letter sized, or it'd make a nifty inbox.
14:31 druthb The bottom of it is not very sturdy...could use it to capture doodads in my workshop that end up scattered around.
14:32 owen Send it back in time 15 years to be a CD box?
14:33 druthb The dimensions are kinda questionable for that.

14:34 Brooke Good Morning, Mr. Camins.
14:34 druthb hm.  It's about the right width...maybe it'd fit on a shelf in the bedroom.  I could re-decorate it, and use it to capture all the hair doo-dads we girls can accumulate.
14:34 * druthb waves at jcamins.
14:35 owen My house has half  a dozen of those boxes and doo-dads are still everywhere
14:35 * Brooke drools at the thought of the container store.
14:35 * druthb lubs the container store.
14:35 Brooke If number of boxen = n then doodads = n + 12
14:36 jcamins Brooke: that doesn't sound quite right.
14:37 jcamins I think you meant doodads = boxen * 12
14:37 * owen is horrified at the disaster that is Bug 5513

14:37 Brooke nope, you have too many doodads.
14:37 druthb The formula at my house used to be doodads= boxen ^ 4, but I've weeded it down to a little better function.
