04:39 BrookeenTauride Indeed!
04:39 Oak yup
04:39 * BrookeenTauride cooked for a friend for Ramadan once.
04:39 BrookeenTauride it was pathetic. He'd start circling at sunsetish, and was looking for McDonalds. That could not stand.

06:34 magnuse catalyst++
06:38 cait hm?
06:39 eythian We've been discussion putting translations into packages, I guess that's what he's referring to. And now magnuse has been given work to have a look at and test.
06:39 eythian *discussing.
06:39 magnuse spot on!
06:39 lds joined #koha
06:39 cait catalyst++ then :)
06:40 magnuse difinitli!
06:40 eythian I have a Srdjan that I can delegate such work to, it's pretty handy :)
06:40 magnuse sounds nice!
06:40 magnuse srdjan++
06:40 eythian I dare you to ask him about using 'if' in Perl code one day.
06:41 magnuse hehe?
06:41 cait ?
06:41 eythian he's morally opposed to it.
06:41 eythian which makes his code an interesting read.
06:41 mtj 'Care And Operation Of Your Srdjan'
06:41 * magnuse chuckles
06:41 eythian heh
06:42 mtj eythian: hes an UNLESS kinda guy?
06:42 eythian I don't think so, that's more or less the same thing
06:42 eythian I think it's more that your program should be designed such that it doesn't require it.
06:42 magnuse yeah, that sounds like cheating...
06:43 mtj gosh, i am a little curious about the 'if' thing.....?!?!
06:43 cait lol
06:43 mtj what's his better alternative?
06:43 eythian well, for example, if you do dynamic programming kinda stuff, you end up minimising your use a lot. Subs are put into hashtables for lookup as needed and so forth. I find myself doing that a lot.
06:45 eythian http://git.catalyst.net.nz/gw?[…]ds/waitaki_import <-- e.g. the whole dispatch thing in this code
06:45 eythian (although that's my code, and I don't follow the religion too closely)
06:48 cait ugh
06:48 cait ok, time to run to work
06:48 cait bye
06:48 eythian are you ugh'ing at my code :(
06:48 eythian cya :)
06:49 cait only wondering if I will get there one day ;)
06:49 eythian heh
06:49 cait left #koha
06:49 * magnuse wouldn't think that was what cait was doing...
06:50 magnuse eythian: do you think there is much work to do before the trnalsations can be generalized into a loop sort of thing?
06:50 eythian I have no idea, I'm in the last stages of a migration, and so haven't had time to look at it at all
06:50 magnuse ok, cool
06:51 magnuse i'll try and get the time to give the branch a spin later today and see what i find, and report back
06:51 eythian Srdjan wanted me to have a look, but I suggested he let you have a look, given I won't have time for a while.
06:51 eythian sure thing
06:51 magnuse i really need to put in some hours on something else first, but i might not be able to keep myself from it...
06:52 * eythian is preparing for a long night, this all has to be reading tomorrow morning (so, before I leave.)
06:52 eythian *ready
06:52 eythian seriously, my typing today is broken
06:52 eythian hehe
06:52 magnuse heh
06:52 magnuse good luck! you can do it!
06:53 eythian Of course I can, I don't have a choice ;)
06:54 magnuse that's the spirit! ;-)

07:43 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6537 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED , Simplified sysprefs for the web installer
07:43 paul_p hi magnuse
07:43 paul_p yep, i've seen.
07:43 kf magnuse++
07:43 paul_p during the week end I had another idea about that :
07:45 paul_p why not put all (new) syspref in a syspref directory, to have a separate file for each. atm, each time a syspref is added, other patches also adding a syspref have a rebase that fails due to the change commited. With a separate file for each, this problem disappear, it's easier for developers to add a new patch !
07:46 kf but harder to get a complete list or reload the database
07:46 kf perhaps slower too?
07:47 magnuse the files would be sql?
07:47 magnuse if so any deterioration in speed would only affect the installer
07:48 kf true
07:49 magnuse well it sounds good to me - anything that makes development easier...
07:51 kf I am not sure the hassle of having a lot of files is worth the gain
07:51 BobB left #koha
07:52 magnuse hm, why would it be a hassle?
07:52 kf lots and lots of files
07:52 paul_p kf, about the "slowness" that's really a little
07:52 kf all having the licence stuff ahead and a little bit of text somewhere
07:52 magnuse about 300 at the moment, if there was one per syspref
07:53 paul_p We could also have a large syspref.sql done by the RM just before each release.
07:53 kf if you are searching for something in that directory it coudl get hard
07:54 paul_p foreach (sysprefs/*.sql) { mysql koha <sql-file) } would work for any size = 1 syspref per file or 300 !
07:54 paul_p (we could also have a file per module (opac.sql / cataloguing.sql / ...) or whatever look handy
07:56 paul_p but well, magnuse what you've made is already a good improvement i'll try to test today
07:56 kf I agree that there is no good argument against
07:56 magnuse paul_p: great!
07:56 kf just feels wrong somehow to me
07:56 kf have to think about it
08:02 mtj paul_p++
08:02 paul_p mtj, ???
08:02 mtj i was thinking something similar, this weekend too
08:02 magnuse great minds think alike, eh?
08:02 mtj 'why not put all (new) syspref in a syspref directory'
08:03 kf hehe - I give up :)
08:03 sophie_m joined #koha
08:03 mtj well, i was thinking about separate updatedatabase.pl files
08:03 mtj but the problem (and solution) is the same
08:13 Judit left #koha
08:13 rangi not so much
08:13 rangi its harder with updatedatabase.pl
08:14 rangi because often order does matter
08:14 * magnuse was just thinking that
08:34 paul_p rangi++ => we can't use this for updatedatabase because order matters.
08:34 paul_p rangi, have you seen my comment/question on #5786 ?
08:34 paul_p (hello rangi)
08:34 rangi yep, havent had any time to do anything about it
08:35 paul_p you wanted to do what ?
08:36 rangi read it and answer
08:36 paul_p mtj, iirc, we spoke a something like a matrix to keep track of what has been done in updatedatabase, but that would mean huge changes in how we deal with updates, and until now, no-one started to do anything about that. Maybe for 4.0, but that will require a lot of coordination/preparation
08:36 paul_p rangi, OK
08:37 paul_p rangi, just FYI= at the end of the week, it's holiday (2 weeks AFK) for me
08:38 paul_p ( just for those curious, I go here : http://www.saint-avit-loisirs.[…]98490326a9a68b55/ )
08:38 * magnuse feels sorry for paul_p ;-)
08:38 magnuse nah, not really
08:38 * paul_p feel unlucky too :D

09:48 magnuse anyone know how to get a "request to pull" from github to the koha-patches list? i'm pretty sure i have done it before...
09:48 rangi yes
09:48 rangi you can either just send a mail with the subject line request to pull
09:48 rangi or you can use git to do it
09:48 rangi 2 secs
09:49 magnuse ah, i didn't think about doing it from git, just from github...
09:50 rangi http://galencharlton.com/blog/[…]stories/#comments
09:50 rangi instead of my git repo, you would use github of course ;)
09:50 magnuse ah way cool!
09:51 rangi try it piped to a file first, make sure it looks ok, then do it piped to mailx :)
09:51 magnuse definitely ;-)
09:52 magnuse hm, how do i tell which branch to use? replace origin/master?
09:54 rangi thats the one you want to pull it into
09:54 rangi second one is pulling it from
09:55 magnuse http://www.kernel.org/pub/soft[…]request-pull.html
09:55 magnuse git request-pull [-p] <start> <url> [<end>]
09:55 rangi yep
09:55 magnuse where <start> = Commit to start at.
09:56 rangi so thats origin/master (or kc/master or whatever you called the master branch of koha-community)
09:56 magnuse ah, the branch i'm on is significant, of course
09:56 rangi then the url is of the repo to pull from
09:56 rangi yeah
09:56 sophie_m left #koha
09:56 * magnuse is a little slow today, much like the cloning from the catalyst git repo ;-)
09:57 magnuse should the url be for the repo or the branch?
09:57 rangi cant remember, try it and see :)
09:57 magnuse will do ;-)
10:03 magnuse that looks about right, i think: http://paste.koha-community.org/4
10:03 rangi looks good to me
10:04 magnuse and that's good enough for me! ;-)
10:04 rangi cept i pushed 6534 since then, but thats ok, it'll still merge fine
10:05 magnuse hm, bug 6534?
10:05 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6534 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , Duplicate opac renew buttons at the top of the checkouts list
10:06 rangi yup, pushed to master this morning, you might wanna do a git pull (or fetch/rebase)
10:07 rangi that request is fine though, it will still merge
10:07 magnuse hm, i don't see a conflict...
10:07 rangi theres no conflict
10:07 rangi just your request has the head at the 5660 push
10:08 magnuse ah, ok, sorry
10:08 rangi but that was just an observation, more than anything useful
10:08 magnuse heh
10:09 eythian magnuse: well, you're going to be pulling down all of Koha's history again.
10:10 eythian from about as far away in the world as it's possible to get.

14:23 oleonard Thanks
14:23 jcamins rhcl: me, I keep about two weeks. But if you're asking, I assume you're desperate for space. No matter how desperate I was, I would never keep less than several days worth of backups.
14:24 rhcl No, we got lots of space.
14:24 jcamins Actually, I try to keep one week of dailies, eight weeks of weeklies, and a year of monthlies.
14:24 paul_p druthb, 3x days over 37°C ? wow !!! unbelievable... just to let you know: we probably have the coldest summer we've ever seen since years in Marseille. We switched on conditionned-air only 5 or 6 days until now...
14:25 jcamins paul_p: lucky. We haven't switched off the a/c since June.
14:25 paul_p crazy planet (and crazy human probably...)

14:53 kf not sure how unimarc handles it
14:53 jcamins Darn.
14:54 gmcharlt good morning
14:54 gmcharlt jcamins: question about transliterated russian - does a ligature ever span more than two characters?
14:54 jcamins If I have a chance, maybe I'll write a cataloging plugin that will do that.
14:54 jcamins gmcharlt: Good morning.
14:54 jcamins Yes it does.
14:55 kf jcamins: that sounds like something useful :) i
14:55 gmcharlt jcamins: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug[…]lay.html?id=38912 is why I ask
14:55 jcamins gmcharlt: wait, that's Old Church Slavonic.
14:55 jcamins So, not in Russian.
14:55 gmcharlt jcamins: would you happen to have any MARC records that have Old Church Slavonic vernacular?
14:56 jcamins No, I've never encountered a record in OCS.
14:56 jcamins I'm not even sure there are.
14:56 gmcharlt thanks
14:57 * jcamins consults the transliteration tables.
14:57 jcamins Ooh! Good news! They don't even use that iie ligature thing in the current tables!
14:58 jcamins So, there are never more than two characters under a ligature.
14:58 gmcharlt yay!
15:01 jcamins Ooh, so are you going to be fixing MARC::Charset to work with the double ligature, rather than the half ligatures?
15:02 gmcharlt jcamins: yep - the fix is already in MARC::Charset's Git, and I'll be cutting 1.34 once I fix the other pending bug
15:04 jcamins Woohoo!
15:04 jcamins gmcharlt++
15:04 jcamins That's been bugging me for ages, but I didn't realize you were the person to report it to.
15:04 jcamins Has anyone else been getting a lot of lag from OFTC in the last few days?
15:05 gmcharlt jcamins: yep, it wasn't until a couple weeks ago that I took up edsu' mantle for that module
15:06 kf jcamins: no lag for me
15:07 jcamins kf: hm. I should move to Europe. :D
15:18 rhcl sometimes I get the impression jcamins must have impressive literary post-nominals.

15:20 rhcl Old Church Slavonic? Old Church Slavonic? Who ever heard of such a thing? And I could go back through your posts and pull out equally esoteric things relating to language, literature and history.
15:20 * jcamins would love to be FRS, FSA. :)
15:22 rhcl And I do consider myself fairly well exposed, albeit a dated exposure, to arcane tidbits of literature and history.
15:22 jcamins What can I say? I'm like a magnet for useless knowledge.
15:23 kf moving_to_europe++ ;)
15:23 kf extra cookies for moving to germany
15:24 kf FRS, FSA?
15:24 jcamins Fellow of the Royal Society, Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.
15:25 kf what is required to be one?
15:25 jcamins I don't know.

15:31 rhcl I really need to think of some way to slip "Old Church Slavonic" into my conversation occasionally so people will think I'm like, really smart.
15:31 rhcl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Church_Slavonic   First two paragraphs are all I'd need to know.
15:34 jcamins rhcl: if you really want to impress people, talk about Old Occitan.
15:35 rhcl Ohhh, that sounds good too....
15:36 jcamins rhcl: it requires more explanation though.
15:37 rhcl 'cept I can't pronounce that one.
15:37 rhcl I'll bet some of wizzyrea's librarys are w/o power? http://www.kcpl.com/kcmaps/frameset_menus.htm  One of my branches is dead in the water, I better run up there and see what I can do.

15:41 jcamins That's the format you use when you use BibTeX. ;)
15:41 nengard got it
15:41 nengard repeating a complaint from a librarian :) hehe
15:41 nengard i also didn't know what bibtex was though
15:42 jcamins It's the bibliography software that works with LaTeX. Called BibTeX.
15:42 jcamins :)
15:43 jcamins Heavily used in math-based fields, not so much anywhere else.

15:51 jcamins I don't know what it's called.
15:53 jcamins nengard: JabRef. There's also BibDesk. And I think Refbase may actually use BibTeX internally.

16:42 matts_away is now known as matts
16:43 nengard is there a way to do a count of another select? basically I want to write a report that tells me how many items each title has - so it shows title and then a count of items
16:43 cait I think I have seen this done differently
16:43 cait especially for card catalogs
16:43 cait let me try to find a source
16:43 jcamins nengard: why can't you do a group by biblionumber, then count(itemnumber)?

16:45 wizzyrea do any of you know -- are "item returned" check in messages kept in the message queue?
16:45 wizzyrea or reflected in the messaging/notices tabs?

16:45 cait jcamins: i think you should google translate that part of wikipedia
16:46 jcamins cait: thanks.
16:46 jcamins I can figure out what it says.
16:46 cait jcamins: and decide what seems logical to you, I can also try to dig up the sort orders for cataloging
16:46 cait I think there was a difference between sorting for pi (old rules, preussische instruktionen) and rak
16:46 cait I can at least try to find out for rak
16:46 jcamins I'm probably going to use DIN 5007 Variant 2, because that seems the most logical, especially with old books.

17:11 wizzyrea where are the patron messaging preferences kept?
17:11 cait oh
17:11 cait in 3 tables
17:12 cait it's a bit insane
17:12 wizzyrea lawd, ok
17:12 jcamins A bit?
17:12 jcamins Very, I'd say.
17:12 cait ok, kind of
17:12 wizzyrea where is the data that is reflected by the tickboxes on the edit patron screen kept
17:12 cait you now it is relational
17:12 cait but sometimes relational to the last normalization form is not what is easy
17:12 cait wizzyrea: give me a sec
17:13 wizzyrea oh dear
17:13 wizzyrea i just stepped in it didn't i
17:13 cait what do you wnat to do? if I may ask?
17:13 jcamins Yes, I get that it's relational, but it's been normalized strangely and the way to modify the mappings is to *delete* the previous ones, and create new ones.
17:13 cait I have some sql on my wiki...
17:13 wizzyrea I want to see the flags

17:15 cait and then you check borrower_message_preferences
17:15 wizzyrea AHA
17:15 cait hm
17:16 cait might be that you need to check the borrowernumber is in borrower_message_transport_preferences too
17:16 wizzyrea it is
17:16 cait because I am not sure what happens when someon says don't knotify
17:16 wizzyrea whoooooa

22:51 druthb hi, magnuse n rangi!  :D
22:51 magnuse hiya druthb
22:52 rangi heh, it was your own status, google translated it for me
22:52 rangi hi druthb
22:53 magnuse hmf, i can't seem to make build-git-snapshot use 3.4-1~git instead of 3.5-1~git
22:53 rangi hmm
22:53 rangi i know how to do it the hardcodey way
22:53 magnuse rangi: so you're replacing me with a machine? *sobs*
22:53 rangi heh
22:54 magnuse the -v options doesn't seem to do much
22:54 magnuse but yeah, i'll just change script ever so slightly
22:54 rangi thats worth a bug report
22:55 magnuse i'll have another look tomorrow, i'm a little too tired to think straight now (and just back from a concert with Fanfare ciocarlia)
22:57 rangi ahh fair enough
22:57 rangi good to hear that the language packages worked though!
22:57 magnuse yeah, i'm thrilled! :-)
22:58 magnuse stille some work to make it general, but it was easy to copy what srdjan has done and get nb-NO working!
22:58 rangi awesome
22:58 magnuse yay!
22:59 magnuse my plan, as you saw, is to offer free koha for personal use to norwegian library people - to get some attention and start to build a community, hopefully
22:59 magnuse and it won't be long before i'm using packages for my customers too, i think!
23:01 rangi sweet, good idea
23:01 rangi have you seen this
23:02 rangi https://openshift.redhat.com/app/
23:02 rangi and
23:02 rangi http://www.activestate.com/cloud
23:02 rangi might be a way to do it, without needing to look after a bunch of servers yourself
23:03 magnuse yeah, looks interesting, thanks!
23:03 magnuse i rent serverspace from slicehost, that has worked well so far
