00:01 rangi mtj++
00:04 melia left #koha
00:06 mtj so, 'signed-off'   ==  'passed-qa' , in BZ?
00:07 rangi hmm signed-off = signed-off
00:07 rangi if you mean the status in bugzilla
00:08 rangi if you just qaed them though, and add a git sign off, and the status was signed-off before, you can switch it to passed-qa now
00:08 rangi was that what you meant?
00:09 mtj hmm, i cant find the 'pased-qa' status ?
00:10 rangi whast the current status?
00:10 mtj i can see the 'failed qa' option
00:10 mtj current status is 'needs signoff'
00:10 mtj tho, that status is poss. incorrect
00:11 rangi had the patches all been signed off before you signed off on them?
00:11 mtj yes
00:11 mtj by jcamins
00:11 rangi you'll have to go signed off, then passed qa
00:11 rangi should be fine
00:12 mtj gotcha
00:19 mtj fyi: i have a little QA script that runs a perlcritic test, on the last commit
00:19 mtj http://git.kohaaloha.com/?p=ko[…]git-perlcritic.pl
00:20 rangi cool
00:20 mtj so for the quotes stuff -  i squashed the 18 commits into 1, then ran the script
00:20 mtj .. it passed OK, etc
00:20 rangi i run t/00-testcritic.t
00:21 rangi its a pre-commit hook
00:21 rangi wont let me commit if it fails
00:21 rangi ahh the 00 ones are good to run
00:21 rangi ahh=all
00:21 rangi as a bare minimum
00:25 mtj oooh, thats new to me :)
00:26 rangi plus the xt/ ones
00:26 rangi xt/tt_valid.t
00:26 rangi xt/permissions.t
00:26 rangi as well as
00:26 rangi xt/author/translatable-templates.t
00:27 mtj i guess my method is the quick/dirty way  (its only testing the files that were modded by he commit)
00:27 rangi yep, but theres a bunch of other tests we should be doing too :)
00:28 rangi so we dont create translation problems etc
00:28 rangi jenkins will catch them .. but by then .. that means at least 3 people havent run them before that point
00:28 mtj t/00-testcritic.t seems to skip the C4  dir?
00:28 rangi which is a fail
00:28 rangi yeah that dir needs to be cleaned up, everything in there is a fail
00:29 rangi well a lot of it, then the test switched on for there
00:29 mtj ah yep 'At present only the directories in @dirs will pass the tests in 'Gentle' mode '
00:29 rangi its unfair to fail a patch for existing errors imho
00:29 rangi there is a standing bug for fixing errors
00:30 rangi when i get time i work on it
00:30 rangi as well as bug 4330
00:30 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4330 normal, P3, ---, chris, Needs Signoff , Copyright statements out of date
00:30 mtj yes, agreed

02:18 Topic for #koha is now Happy birthday rangi! Koha 3.8.1 and 3.6.4 Now Available | Koha Community Website - http://www.koha-community.org/ | General IRC meeting, 13 June 2012 at 18:00 UTC+0
02:19 rangi hmm i will be on an airplane then
02:19 chris_n use a satellite connection then ;-)
02:19 rangi heh
02:20 chris_n airlines should offer broadband in-flight
02:20 eythian some of our ones do
02:20 eythian but it's terribly expensive
02:20 rangi yep
02:20 rangi insanely so
02:22 rangi we need gogo
02:22 rangi $11 us for a 24 hour pass
02:22 rangi virgin america does it
02:23 rangi http://www.gogoair.com/
02:24 eythian I'm surprised someone like Singapore Air hasn't got onto a scheme like that yet.
02:25 rangi yeah
02:25 eythian ahh
02:25 eythian it will work for US domestic only
02:25 rangi *nod*
02:25 eythian it relays through ground stations
02:25 rangi they plan to expand apparently its being trialled in oz too
02:25 eythian satellite (what airnz uses) is a lot more expensive
02:25 rangi yep
02:25 eythian cool
02:26 rangi i see lots of press from 2010 about singapore to offer wifi
02:26 rangi but nothing saying they ever did
02:27 rangi http://www.choosynomad.com/201[…]ights-sqairlines/
02:28 eythian It's the same tech as airnz, so will probably be expensive too
02:29 eythian via Inmarsat, so low bandwidth
02:29 rangi yuck
02:30 eythian was supposed to start in May last year, but I see nothing that says that it did either.
02:30 rangi chris_n: did you get the link to the db dump?
02:31 chris_n no, but it is probably on my computer at work
02:31 * chris_n is home atm
02:31 rangi ahh you need it at work or at home? :)
02:31 chris_n work is fine
02:32 rangi sweet
02:32 rangi ping me again tomorrow if its not there :)
02:32 chris_n the bandwidth here is *very* narrow :-)
02:32 chris_n will do
02:55 chris_n g'night

07:47 francharb I will check this later and work on it
07:47 magnuse francharb: very avant garde :-)
07:47 francharb I guess I can play something star wars song on it!
07:47 francharb ahaha
07:48 rangi evening
07:48 magnuse morning
07:48 Topdog joined #koha
07:48 magnuse now what if the koha opac logo had the possibility to play songs on it?
07:49 rangi heh
07:50 Topdog pls how do i backup and restore koha database..
07:50 magnuse Topdog: have you seen http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]i/Backing_up_Koha ?
07:50 magnuse Topdog: the answer also depends on how you installed - did you use the debian packages?
07:53 clrh bugzilla is down?
07:53 Joubu It's not just you!  http://bugs.koha-community.org looks down from here.
07:53 Joubu :-(

07:56 Oak :-)
07:56 rangi looks to be back now
07:56 Oak next time magnuse. you'll see!
07:56 rangi cjh: yep its my linode
07:56 cjh rangi: yeap
07:57 cjh yeap = its back up.
07:57 magnuse yup
07:58 rangi i suspect something was hogging all the connections
07:59 Topdog pls where do i run d script "mysqldump -u kohaadmin -p koha > mydatadump.sql" 2 backup my koha database..
07:59 rangi offtopic
07:59 rangi https://code.launchpad.net/~ch[…]/koha-3.8.x-daily
08:00 magnuse nais!
08:01 cjh Topdog: that is a command you run from the machine where you have mysql installed
08:01 magnuse koha + catalyst - does that make sense? https://github.com/libsysguy/koha-catalyst
08:02 * magnuse knows nothing about catalyst...
08:04 rangi its a framework, uses TT, its certainly worth playing with, and you could replace modules at a time, it would help enforce MVC
08:04 magnuse intriguing...
08:05 magnuse and it would play well with plack or similar?
08:06 rangi yep
08:06 rangi wouldnt play well without some kind of persistance
08:07 magnuse cool :-)
08:08 magnuse oops, bbl
08:14 Oak guys, have a look at this please: http://library.aeu.edu.my/ and I am wondering how did the make those links like "Find Databases" at bottom, content area, or on right vertical column, "Our Services"... I mean they got Koha working like a content management system right?
08:16 Oak did they manually create pages like "services.pl" like here: http://library.aeu.edu.my/cgi-[…]a/aeu/services.pl ?
08:16 rangi yep
08:16 rangi making the links is fine, thats all in sysprefs and css
08:16 rangi but the actual pages, they made those themselves
08:17 Oak and their extension is .pl
08:17 jenkins_koha Starting build #22 for job Koha_3.8.x (previous build: SUCCESS)
08:17 Oak what are they? HTML pages? or
08:17 rangi cant possibly tell
08:17 Oak pages using Koha OPAC's template
08:17 Oak hmm
08:17 Oak it's very nice though.
08:18 Oak and this one: http://library.hauraki-dc.govt.nz/ very nice also
08:18 rangi thats all css and sysprefs
08:18 rangi no koha template changes at all
08:18 rangi plus a few static html pages
08:18 Oak well, and the link here like http://library.hauraki-dc.govt[…]es/electronic.htm is a static page?
08:19 rangi yes but thats nothing to do with koha
08:19 rangi just a static page
08:19 rangi that they can edit and sftp
08:19 * Oak wondering how to show Koha's search bar on top of a static page
08:19 rangi cut and paste the html
08:20 rangi from a rendered page
08:20 Oak aah
08:20 rangi its just html by the time it hits your browser
08:20 rangi easy peasy :)
08:20 Oak coool
08:20 Oak :)
08:23 Oak i wish i can make my OPAC cool like these two...
08:23 Oak i'll work on that now.

11:47 druthb Hi, Amit_Gupta. :)
11:49 magnuse o/
11:50 vfernandes anyone here had done migration from Millenium to Koha?
11:50 druthb several times, yes.
11:51 vfernandes mysql or oracle?
11:52 druthb The way we did it, it doesn't matter which backend they're using; we do it all with reports.
11:52 vfernandes humm ok... MARC21 or UNIMARC?
11:53 druthb MARC21, in our cases.
11:53 vfernandes this week i'm starting a migration to Koha from Millenium and i doing the "state of art"
11:54 vfernandes found some information incluing this presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/sekj[…]-truly-innovative
11:54 jcamins_away julian_m++
11:55 vfernandes there is also a script that creates a MARCXML with the all the records: http://contribs.koha.org/revision_view.php?rid=19
11:55 julian_m jcamins_away, ?
11:55 druthb There are simpler ways than that; Ian had some pretty rough limitations on what he could do on that system.
11:55 jcamins_away julian_m: bug 5888
11:55 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5888 enhancement, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, julian.maurice, Needs Signoff , opac-detail subject/author links improvements
11:56 vfernandes druthb can I do the export on the command line?
11:56 jcamins I was just asking about that patch yesterday or the day before, and today you rebased it against latest master!
11:56 * magnuse waves at jcamins
11:56 * jcamins waves back
11:56 druthb I think there is a marc export from the command line, yes, and that's the piece that required Ian do all that extra work.
11:57 julian_m jcamins, I hope the patch is ok this time :)
11:57 vfernandes i only have access to the server by SSH and the server with Millenium is still running so I have to be very carefully
11:58 jcamins julian_m: me too! I will test when I can.
11:58 jcamins Right now I have some RMainting to do.
11:58 jcamins 3.6.5 is due out tomorrow.
11:58 druthb Everything else you need--item data, borrowers, current checkouts, etc--can be had via reports.  We have our partner libraries run reports, and send them to us tab-delimited.
12:00 vfernandes only biblio, items, serials and borrowers will be migrated... the current checkouts would be nice to migrate but the client didn't paid for that :D
12:00 vfernandes the reports can be done by command line or only in the interfaces?
12:00 druthb serials is the hard part.  I've never done them, so I don't know--probably in the interface.
12:02 jcamins Sorry for the e-mail volume.
12:02 vfernandes humm ok druthb.. thanks for the help :) i'm still studying the problem and the best way to migrate the data
12:03 druthb :)  glad to help.

12:28 chris_n Search.pm must be a special sort of curse
12:28 * chris_n has found a non-trivial bug in bugzilla's Search.pm :-P
12:29 jcamins chris_n: sounds about right.
12:30 chris_n I used to think it was just the name of a perl module...
12:30 chris_n but that could not be further from the truth ;-)

12:33 jcamins chris_n: I apologized!
12:33 chris_n jcamins++ # for doing a good job
12:33 jcamins Only another 135 to go.
12:33 chris_n hehe
12:33 oleonard It's not spam, it's delicious bugzilla goodness :P
12:34 chris_n lol
12:36 Guillaume joined #koha
12:38 jcamins If others wanted to close old bugs, that would be a Good Thing.
12:40 oleonard sorry, I only open bugs.
12:40 * oleonard kicks over the trash can for emphasis
12:42 chris_n jcamins: there are pre-canned reports which will return bugs addressed in most of my releases if you are interested
12:43 * chris_n used to keep up with that sort of thing before the schedule went south
12:43 jcamins At this point I think I'll just keep going on my march.
12:44 chris_n probably the release note building script could be mod'ed to update the status of the bugs it touches
12:45 jcamins No need for File::Find.
12:45 jcamins Plugins can only be stored in a plugin place.
12:46 * jcamins likes alliteration.
12:50 chris_n jcamins: from his example it appeared that the plugin author would have some liberty regarding the subdir structure
12:50 chris_n ie. Koha::Plugins::Org::CCFLS::PatronsList::Step1
12:50 chris_n so everything beyond "Org" might vary in name and depth
12:51 chris_n but I'm probably missing some fundamental point :-)
12:51 jcamins chris_n: yes, but the only directory in @INC is the parent directory.
12:51 jcamins The file will be in $plugins/Koha/Plugins/Org/​CCFLS/PatronsList/Step1.pm
12:51 chris_n ahh... right
12:52 chris_n so why even mess with $plugins? why not dictate it from the start?
12:52 jcamins It's a configuration setting.
12:52 * chris_n is totally distracted
12:52 * jcamins too.
12:53 chris_n what did you say perl was again?
12:53 chris_n perl?
12:54 chris_n Perl is different things to different people
12:54 chris_n perl?
12:54 wahanui it has been said that perl is different things to different people
12:54 * chris_n is surprised wahanui did not know what perl is
12:56 gmcharlt you'd think we didn't talk about Perl a lot in this channel

13:28 paul_p joined #koha
13:29 sekjal joined #koha
13:29 sekjal morning, #koha
13:30 sekjal I'm QAing bug 7065.  the new patch looks good, but there are some minor issues
13:30 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7065 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, Signed Off , reserves table needs a primary key
13:30 paul_p hi sekjal
13:30 sekjal I'm not sure if they're actually issues, or just me being pedantic
13:30 paul_p (& #koha)
13:30 sekjal hi, paul_p
13:31 sekjal first thing:  the patch starts with DBrev = 3.08.00.XXX... easy change, but should be 3.09.00.XXX
13:31 sekjal larger:  calls the primary key "reserve_id" instead of "reservenumber", as originally spec'ed in the bug report
13:32 sekjal not sure if that merits correction, or just a ::shrug:: and acceptance
13:32 sekjal thoughts?
13:34 vfernandes joined #koha
13:35 collum joined #koha
13:38 maximep joined #koha
13:39 hdl fwiw reserve_id is just an other new way to call ids... There are at the moment more than two different. Do we need one more ?
13:40 hdl but do whatever you want.
13:40 hdl you are QA manager.
13:43 sekjal my changing it from reserve_id to reservenumber wouldn't improve functionality at all, and it would provide a chance for typos or missed replacements to slip in.
13:44 hdl you asked for comments.
13:44 sekjal lots of other tables have the _id suffix for their primary key, so it's not unprecedented.  It just loses the parallelism with biblio, biblioitems, items and borrowers
13:45 * sekjal is thinking out loud... and in doing so, convincing himself not to make the change
13:45 edveal Is anyone out there using EZProxy and authenticating against Koha? If so can we discuss how you are doing it?
13:46 paul_p sekjal = look at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]bugs#Column_names
13:46 paul_p primary keys column name can be: id (in authorised_values table), xxxid (cityid), xxx_id (label_id), xxxId (limitId), xxxcode (branchcode), xxxnumber (borrowernumber) => choose how to name PK and update schema accordingly
13:46 paul_p Maybe it's time to start a discussion on koha-devel for this topic !!!
13:47 paul_p and decide something, add it to coding guidelines, and QA will be easier !
13:47 sekjal some consistency would be good
13:47 paul_p sekjal = agreed ;-)
13:48 paul_p back in a few minutes
13:48 sekjal but, in the interest of expediency and not introducing potential problems, I'm passing it QA
13:48 sekjal we can clean it up once we know what to clean up TO
13:49 paul_p sekjal = I disagree. I think it's the perfect case to start the discussion, decide something and not introduce more inconsistency !
13:50 hdl edveal: maybe sending an e-mail on koha-devel or koha list could be more productive.
13:50 hdl I think jcamins_away or gmcharlt could have some experience with ezproxy though
13:50 edveal hdl yep I think you are right. Just thought I would try here and see.
13:51 sekjal your call as RM.  I'm not sure we'll get a clear response in any kind of reasonable timeframe, though
13:51 sekjal functionally, the patch looks good
13:51 sekjal props to all involved (kyleh, jcamins, gmchalrt, slef, anyone I'm missing)
13:53 paul_p sekjal = the other option is to use the "discussion" workflow = call for discussion, time of 2 weeks, proposal, vote, decision.
13:54 kyleh my opinion on the matter, for what it's worth is that table_id is short, and easy to read.
13:55 paul_p my opinion on the matter is : anything except id (only "id") and "no decision"
13:55 paul_p xxxnumber is quite long but I can live with it, xxxxid or xxxx_id are equivalent, maybe _id is easier to read
13:55 kyleh agreed, id alone causes problems with table joins. in reality, we should prepend every field in a table, but it makes everything so much more tedious.

14:26 * sekjal looks forward to trying to run Koha off of SQLite
14:26 kyleh heh : )
14:27 hdl or mongodb
14:27 * kyleh just discovered Berkeley DB was purchased by Oracle. At least they can't by postgres.
14:28 jcamins_away sekjal: I'm glad I'm not the only one looking forward to Koha on SQLite.
14:28 jcamins edveal: no experience authenticating ezproxy against Koha, sorry.
14:31 chris_n koha will pretty much run over Mariadb as-is
14:31 jcamins Pretty much? Have you run into any gotchas?
14:35 edveal thanks jcamins
14:35 chris_n Maria is a bit stricter on syntax
14:35 chris_n I may have a branch floating around which fixes the few issues I found
14:35 jcamins You should file bugs. :)
14:35 jcamins Are you going to be running Maria in production?
14:36 chris_n not atm
14:36 chris_n there may be a bug
14:37 chris_n its been so long since I looked at it
14:37 chris_n the installer runs fine
14:37 chris_n there are only a very few gotchas which arise much later iirc
14:41 chris_n well, it appears those changes are lost... sorry
14:41 jcamins Oh well.
14:43 jcamins If anyone wants to do some bug wrangling, all bugs with a status of "Pushed to Master" and a version of "rel_3_6" need to be checked to see if they're already in 3.6. If they were incorporated prior to the release of 3.6.0, the bug should be closed. If after 3.6.0, a note to that effect should be made on them, and the status changed to Pushed to Stable.
14:43 * jcamins figured it was worth a try.
14:44 jcamins Actually, I'd argue that any bug where the patch was pushed prior to 3.6.0 should be closed.
14:45 jcamins (if there haven't been any updates since then)
14:47 chris_n jcamins: aha!
14:48 chris_n bug 5366
14:48 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5366 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Standing enh req for code changes enabling database agnosticism

14:48 chris_n http://git.koha-community.org/[…]/heads/k_bug_5366
14:48 chris_n so there you are
14:48 jcamins Cool, thanks.
14:49 chris_n absolutely no guarantees there
14:50 jcamins Of course.
14:51 jcamins I won't be putting Koha with MariaDB into production any time soon.
14:52 wizzyrea packages for 3.8.1 - any uh, timeline for that?
14:52 wizzyrea guess I should ping eythian for that ansewr.
14:52 wizzyrea answer*
14:54 slef wizzyrea: I'll compile them if you want them now.
14:54 jcamins I guess tomorrow I'll have to figure out how to set up an apt repo.
14:54 jcamins (for 3.6.5)
14:54 wizzyrea slef that would be amazing.
14:55 jcamins @later tell eythian I'll be releasing 3.6.5 tomorrow. My thought is the short-term solution for packages is for me to set up a repo under cpbibliography.com, and then put the packages in the official repo once we've figured out how to do oldstable. Make sense?
14:55 huginn jcamins: The operation succeeded.

15:54 jcamins Ah.
15:54 slef jcamins: so we've BOGUd
15:54 jcamins That's absurd.
15:55 slef welcome to banking
15:56 slef now we just have to hope that the co-operative bank will defend software.coop if Paypal tries to take all our money
15:56 * oleonard thinks he needs something non-brain-taxing to work on today...
15:56 slef which it probably will but really, we're a gnat compared to the banking co-op's 12 million members
15:57 jcamins slef: you couldn't set up a separate account with *just* the money for the conference?
15:58 jcamins oleonard: there's always bug wrangling.
15:58 slef jcamins: hahahahaahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha
15:58 jcamins slef: what?
15:58 slef jcamins: have you *seen* European banking security regulations?
15:58 jcamins Nope.
15:59 slef jcamins: I'm pretty sure it's taken us about a year to change the signatories on our current account...
15:59 jcamins Wow.
15:59 * oleonard scoffs at jcamins having never seen European banking security regulations
15:59 jcamins Well, that's one (possibly the only) benefit to banking in the US.
16:00 slef yeah... it's a tough balancing act between ease of access and ease of fraud
16:00 slef which reminds me, maybe I should get a new dollar credit card before I next visit the US
16:01 slef seeing as how you don't even check signatures over there... much less chip and PIN
16:01 slef is that still so?
16:01 jcamins That is, yes.
16:02 jcamins If you write "this card is stolen" on the back, you'll be able to identify those places which do check.
16:03 oleonard jcamins: and then you say, "Naw, just kidding?"
16:03 wizzyrea technically signing the card = acceptance of the card terms
16:03 wizzyrea so people who write see ID technically don't even have the right to use the card.
16:04 jcamins wizzyrea: yes, but no one notices that they wrote "see ID" anyway.
16:04 wizzyrea i know right
16:04 * oleonard refers everyone to wizzyrea's history of performing citizens arrests for credit card fraud
16:04 * wizzyrea flexes
16:06 jcamins slef: you have a dollar credit card? Do you visit the US a lot?
16:09 slef jcamins: only when I visit the US. Better exchange rate, plus I'm not trusting the USA with my main card.
16:09 slef jcamins: only been there once... but will visit again.

16:38 JoeLib001 What I am actually looking for is a way to batch edit Marc Records in Koha. I can't seem to find any. I have used MARC Edit before, but that means I would need to export all of my records and then re-import them. Would be nice, if there was a batch edit option.
16:39 hdl JoeLib001: there is one in bugzilla.
16:39 jcamins There is no batch edit functionality for bib records in Koha.

16:40 jcamins JoeLib001: you can batch edit items.
16:41 JoeLib001 There are no items associated with any of the records.
16:41 jcamins Ah.

16:51 jcamins Is there another line in the error message?
16:52 talljoy well, small database, it won't take me long to reindex.  and no...no other information.  just that one over and over and over and over
16:52 slef jcamins: do you think you can get linphone or ekiga working with video, or using something like Bambuser with a telephone back-channel? We may have a Grade A+ uplink so I'd prefer not trying to avoid Skype making us a backbone router :-/
16:52 jcamins slef: sure.
16:52 jcamins talljoy: sounds like a stale configuration.
16:53 slef jcamins: ta. If you can coordinate with mle to test it when he gets back (on Monday IIRC), that's safest.

16:53 talljoy stale configuration?  of what?
16:53 jcamins Zebra. authority-zebra-indexdefs.xsl, probably.

17:32 sekjal idea for Makefile.PL:  if you chose dev install, provide an option to symlink Zebra configs on installation
17:33 jcamins sekjal: I disagree with making it an option.
17:33 jcamins The dev install is described as "run Koha out of the git repo."
17:34 jcamins Better to just do exactly that, IMO.
17:34 bag heya jcamins and sekjal
17:34 jcamins However, other than making it optional, I am in complete agreement. :)
17:34 jcamins I even reported a bug at some point.
17:35 jcamins Hi there, bag.
17:35 sekjal hi, bag
17:36 sekjal jcamins: I like options, myself... especially with as rarely as one does an install v. maintenance
17:37 NateC joined #koha
17:37 jcamins sekjal: the reason not to make it an option is because it makes maintenance harder, and troubleshooting unpleasant, if there are two options.
17:37 jcamins (for this particular thing)
17:37 jcamins We don't make any allowance for people wanting to install just the templates.
17:38 jcamins (but run the code out of the git repo)
17:38 jcamins I'd sign off on a patch that added an option, of course.
17:41 sekjal perhaps make the default setting the symlink, but leave copied files as a choice for legacy support
17:41 jcamins I guess.
17:41 sekjal hopefully no one will use it, and it can then be removed
17:42 jcamins I, personally, would refuse to help anyone who used that option with troubleshooting Zebra issues.
17:42 jcamins If others were less dubious about it, I suppose there's no reason it shouldn't be left as an option.
17:43 jcamins With a warning along the lines of "you had better be *very* sure you want to do this, because it is very likely that you're just going to have a maintenance nightmare."
17:48 libsysguy joined #koha
17:48 libsysguy hey sekjal
17:49 libsysguy rumor has it that you are interested in the catalyst project im working on
17:49 sekjal libsysguy:  I read magnuse's G+ link, and Catalyst seems pretty awesome
17:50 sekjal jcamins:  I can't see any good reason not to symlink, but maybe someone out there has one.... seems unlikely, but who knows
17:50 jcamins sekjal: my feeling is that person should be forced to do it manually.
17:51 jcamins For the simple reason that if that person does it manually, they will have to think about how they want to maintain it.
17:51 Guillaume left #koha
17:51 libsysguy sekjal, yeah it really is.  I have used it before and thought it'd be perfect for Koha
17:51 libsysguy I don't know why I didn't think about it sooner
17:52 sekjal libsysguy:  handles T:T, DBIx, Solr, Plack/PSGI and plugins very aptly
17:53 libsysguy sekjal: and much much more
17:54 libsysguy plus the file structure makes a lot of sense
17:55 jcamins libsysguy: any coherent file structure would be a great help.
17:56 sekjal it would really help separate out plumbing issues from actual design issues
17:57 libsysguy agreed to both of the above
17:57 libsysguy and it should help out with using different databases
17:59 sekjal libsysguy:  how far are you along your project?
17:59 libsysguy well I have been able to integrate the themes and come up with a basic wrapper for the front end, all the models were auto generated so that was made of win
18:00 libsysguy I am trying to figure out how I was to represent notices
18:00 libsysguy which is the new part for my proof of concept
18:00 libsysguy but porting the old stuff for that one section was not bad at all
18:00 libsysguy I've only been able to put in a few days on it
18:00 slef hi all
18:00 sekjal I'd think notices would be a kind of View...
18:01 slef not read my email yet - anyone here for the kohacon meeting?
18:01 cait here
18:01 JoeLib001 I am having issues importing the records I exported an edited.
18:01 cait but not sure I won't fall asleep
18:01 * thd is here
18:01 slef superstar cait++
18:01 cait slef
18:01 jwagner I have a question for slef
18:01 libsysguy well i made the tools/overduerules a view
18:01 jcamins cait sends her apologies because she needs to sleep.
18:01 jcamins :)
18:01 cait I havne' thad time to update the program on the wiki another time to add the abstracts
18:01 JoeLib001 It's not matching any of my records.
18:02 * thd also needs to sleep but is still here :)
18:02 slef jwagner: can I take it in a maybe very short meeting?
18:02 libsysguy but the notice bit needed reworking http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Notifications_RFC
18:02 jwagner sure

18:04 Topic for #koha is now Questions
18:04 slef jwagner: how about now?
18:04 wahanui now is probably good time with holidays coming up
18:04 JoeLib001 #info
18:04 jwagner Did you get my email of May 14? I haven't gotten an answer
18:05 slef jwagner: err. I don't remember it. What was the question?
18:05 slef or I'll go look for the email if it's not suitable for the public
18:05 jwagner I am not going to be able to attend in person, but I can do my presentation remotely
18:06 jwagner Is it Skype?
18:06 slef ah, right, that's a shame but we should be able to do a remote presentation.
18:06 slef I'm hoping not Skype
18:06 jcamins jwagner: mle should be back on Monday, at which point we'll try to get ekiga/linphone working. I'm in the same boat.
18:06 jwagner I have no clue how to use any of that....
18:06 jcamins jwagner: me either, but I'm sure it'll be easy.
18:06 jwagner I was going to get a Skype tutorial from a friend, but you don't want to use that?
18:06 slef I'm hoping for something like linphone or ekiga or jitsi or something with video, or using something like Bambuser with a telephone back-channel? We may have a Grade A+ uplink so I'd prefer not trying to avoid Skype making us a backbone router :-/
18:07 slef if you see what I mean
18:07 jwagner OK, I will await the (hopefully easy) instructions :-)
18:07 jwagner Thanks
18:07 slef when I worked at a university, long ago, Skype was notorious... I don't know if it's still the same
18:07 slef We'll find a way, but it'll won't be this week.
18:08 thd Skype must be even more notorious now that Microsoft own it.
18:08 slef I'd suggest sending over slides+script and maybe getting a volunteer to agree to help deliver it if all else fails.
18:08 jwagner OK, will work on that.  The only format I can do is .ppt
18:09 slef thd: heh. Not sure universities care if Microsoft own things.
18:09 cait jcamins: you could perhaps convert to pdf then
18:09 slef jwagner: we should be able to read that, but may be using LibreOffice to display them.
18:09 cait hm jwagner
18:09 jwagner as long as you can read the file
18:09 slef jwagner: I'm 90% sure we'll have time to check all files ahead of time.
18:09 jwagner Thanks
18:09 slef jwagner: there will be an email with projector specs this week
18:10 slef #info there will be an email with projector specs this week
18:10 jwagner OK, that was my question.  Anyone else?
18:10 slef #info email kohacon12 AT software.coop with any questions for most reliable answering.
18:11 thd LibreOffice should work fine as long as you avoid some extreme features of PowerPoint.  Be careful about trying to embed videos in a Power Point presentation.
18:11 slef #info or koha AT lists.katipo.co.nz if can be made public
18:11 cait I have bad experience with graphics
18:11 cait if you use the drawing options of powerpoint
18:11 thd text rules
18:11 cait safest then might be convertig to pdf
18:11 jwagner Mine is mostly text, maybe 1-2 screenshots
18:11 slef #info or our phone numbers and international access numbers are on http://www.software.coop/contact/ but try for 9-5 UK time, please
18:11 cait screenshots should be no problem
18:12 slef any other questions?
18:12 cait slef: I haven't updated the wiki with the new info from your mail
18:13 cait travelling this week
18:13 slef cait: it wasn't meant f... oh wrong mail
18:13 slef ok, let's move to this
18:13 slef #topic Roadmap to KohaCon12
18:13 Topic for #koha is now Roadmap to KohaCon12
18:13 slef I emailed a roadmap update to volunteers about an hour ago.
18:13 cait slef?
18:13 wahanui slef is an avid cyclist
18:14 slef Does anyone who hasn't seen it want to see it?
18:15 thd Is there anything of general note on the roadmap?
18:15 slef And relatedly, is anyone not on the volunteers email list who wants to be?
18:15 slef thd: yeah, "*** Katrin is a hero!"
18:15 * cait is not
18:16 wizzyrea cait is also a hero
18:16 wahanui okay, wizzyrea.
18:16 wizzyrea cait?
18:16 wahanui That's Ms. Cait to you! or in a very good mood today :) or a librarian, you will get wahanui's information or a hero
18:16 wizzyrea mhm.
18:17 slef thd: I think the main thing is I think we now have just enough sponsorship to avoid being absurdly spartan, following the mail-emailing of support companies.
18:18 slef thd: registrations are now about 70 and we're finally seeing more UK registrations and we've only just now had our first failed registration
18:18 thd What is a failed registration?
18:18 slef in that case, they didn't tick any boxes
18:18 slef so sent us their info, but aren't attending anything
18:18 slef I queried it and they've not replied. Not sure what was going on there.
18:19 cait I think you can't do more
18:19 slef hrm, I should be noting this
18:19 slef #info now about 70 registrations
18:19 slef #info now barely enough sponsorship, following mass-emailing of support companies and some anonymous donations - thanks to everyone who has chipped in
18:20 slef #info mle is sorting the network out, but we may need an extra access point
18:20 slef And two questions:
18:20 slef Do we want to meet up on Monday 4 June, 6pm, Library bar?
18:21 slef actually, I'll only ask that one... other one can be skipped
18:21 thd What is the Library bar?
18:21 wahanui the Library bar is the first branch created and foo is the second
18:22 slef the Library bar is also a bar next to the conference venue, at the front of Teviot
18:22 wahanui okay, slef.
18:22 thd Is that the name of the bar, Library Bar?
18:22 slef yes
18:22 wizzyrea apparently they have those all over the world. :)
18:22 jcamins thd: anyone in the area will know where it is.
18:23 slef it's in Teviot
18:23 jcamins slef: I know. I was clarifying that it's a good place to meet, even if you forget that.
18:23 slef #idea meet up on Monday 4 June, 6pm, Library bar
18:24 Oak night guys.
18:24 slef Any more questions?
18:24 slef before cait and me pass out? :)
18:25 * thd is already passed out :)
18:25 cait slef: perhaps we should add a page to the wiki with where people are staying and when arriving
18:25 slef cait: good idea!
18:25 cait I mean people can add their dates and hotels themselves
18:25 cait so easier to meet
18:26 slef a page, or a section on the Volunteers page?
18:26 cait I think I arrive at the airport around 4pm, not sure about the exact time right now
18:26 cait hm, might be interesting for all, but volunteers would be ok too I think
18:27 slef trying to add it now
18:27 cait slef++
18:28 slef grrr how do I do a table?
18:28 slef http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Help:Tables
18:29 cait slef: steal an existing one? ;)
18:29 oleonard Use the wysiwyg editor?
18:29 cait {| at beginning, closing at end
18:29 jcamins Delegate to someone who is not me?
18:30 cait slef: point me to the table, I can do it
18:30 cait hm page
18:30 thd Always steal an existing one :)
18:30 cait ok, not sure I can, but will try
18:30 slef nah got it now
18:32 thd Tables had been problematically on one line in the source code when we had started using MediaWiki until I started reformatting them on multiple lines following good MediaWiki examples.

18:34 slef cait: it feels like it's only a few days before koha-community now, with all I know needs to be done!
18:34 slef anyone like me to add them to the table?
18:34 slef Who arriving when? staying where?
18:34 cait my dates on the desk at work...
18:35 cait so will add myself later
18:35 slef thd: dang I just wrote it on one line because that was the easiest way to convert it from WikiText to MediaWiki format
18:36 thd slef: No problem but tables are much easier to edit when each row has its own line.
18:36 slef oh wait, each row has its own line
18:36 slef that's what I did
18:36 thd :)
18:36 slef but some of the examples have each cell on its own line
18:36 slef which confuses me
18:37 thd If the cells have long content each cell on its own line might be helpful.
18:38 slef I agree. Who/when/where isn't long.
18:39 thd Maybe my discovery long ago had been examples of each cell on its own line.  I do not remember correctly now but I am too tired to look properly.
18:39 cait slef: fixed the formatting a bit
18:39 cait everyone, refresh :)
18:39 slef cait: oooh I could do with a refresh!
18:44 thd slef: Using "|-" on a line alone as a row separator allows readable source for tables in which some cells have long content.
18:46 JoeLib001 Will Koha yell at me, if I try to add a record with the same control number as another record?
18:46 jcamins JoeLib001: no, it will assign a new biblionumber.
18:46 jcamins You should use a matching rule on biblionumber and 999$c.
18:47 jcamins There should be one by default, but isn't.
18:47 cait JoeLib001: and duplicat 001 is not a good idea, but no yelling
18:47 jcamins Another item on my to-do list.
18:47 thd slef: counting the lines beginning with "|" inside a column is easier for tracking columns than having rows on one line.
18:47 JoeLib001 Ok, match by biblionumber and What is 999$c?
18:48 jcamins Biblionumber.
18:48 JoeLib001 Ah, I see. :-)
18:48 JoeLib001 Thanks. :-)
18:49 thd In an ideal world 999$c would be the same as 001.
18:49 JoeLib001 :-)
18:50 JoeLib001 Mine's all kinds of messed up then. hehehe.
18:50 thd However, we first need much better import tools which preserve the previous 001 values for reference.
18:51 jcamins JoeLib001: focus only on the biblionumber in 999$c.
18:51 cait thd: it owuld need some work, because making 001 the bilbionumber would totally break our union catalog model and the record linking for us
18:51 thd JoeLib001: We do not yet have those much better import tools or I have not taken the time to push some old code.
18:52 JoeLib001 Thanks, that should get me going. :-)
18:52 thd cait: I am not suggesting making 001 the biblionumber but merely allowing it to be the same.
18:52 cait thd: not all 001 are numeric
18:52 thd cait: Obviously, all systems using the biblionumber would need updating.
18:54 mbalmer joined #koha
18:55 thd cait: Obviously, you have identified the problem of using previous 001s as the biblionumber for all cases.  Using the biblionumber in 001 and updating all databases using the 001 is safer.
18:56 chris_n` joined #koha
18:59 jcamins thd: I think the thing to do is have a cataloging plugin that will optionally put the same data in 001 as the biblionumber. Anything else would require too much work for dubious reward.
19:01 chris_n` joined #koha
19:01 thd Previous, 001s can be preserved in 035 $z as previously used cancelled numbers.  Certainly, complying more closely with standards would be more work, however, standards compliance like 'being good' is partly its own reward :)
19:03 thd cait: We really need to move beyond MARC while preserving MARC for lossless import and export which is much much more work but a task with very great rewards.
19:04 cait I think one step at a time
19:04 cait there are lots of things to do
19:04 cait rewriting the search is one of them
19:04 mbalmer evening.
19:04 wahanui i guess evening is better for me - but not too late
19:04 slef ha ha ha ha ha http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new[…]s-for-a-year.html
19:04 thd Definately, one step at a time in slow pieces.
19:05 slef what about
19:06 thd cait: Definately, care has to be taken to not remove old features when adding new ones too avoid breaking things and merely substituting new bugs for old ones.
19:06 slef each $3?
19:06 wahanui each $3 is in fact the id of the topic.
19:06 slef circcontrol?
19:06 wahanui circcontrol is set to...
19:06 slef wahanui: current status?
19:06 wahanui current status is "Failed QA"
19:06 thd s/too/to/
19:07 slef I couldn't damn wahanui any more than that.
19:07 slef wahanui: that status?
19:07 wahanui slef: i haven't a clue
19:08 slef wahanui: the caching stuff?
19:08 wahanui somebody said the caching stuff was really cool. Bug 8092.
19:08 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8092 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Signed Off , Koha should use CHI caching framework
19:08 jcamins Heh.
19:08 jcamins Very true.
19:08 wahanui I know. That's why I said it.
19:11 thd slef: All the various reuses of identifiers in MARC such as $3 or $0 are difficult to attend to correctly in system implementation and conformance to MARC standards, which is one reason we need to eventually have MARC as merely an import and export format.
19:13 slef Very true.
19:13 wahanui I know. That's why I said it.

19:31 slef wizzyrea: ooh I should check on our compilation!
19:32 slef ok I don't understand that... let me rerun it
19:33 slef should I be confused by the lack of v3.08.01 tag?

22:03 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3521 enhancement, P3, ---, koha.sekjal, Pushed to Master , Items table in catalogue/detail.pl and cataloguing/additem.pl is sorted nonsensically
22:03 rangi hold for 3.10 .. push for 3.8.2 .. opinions?
22:04 rangi http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]hment.cgi?id=9520  <-- small change
22:08 rangi im leaning to 3.8.2 it seems to make sense to me
22:08 jcamins Yeah, 3.8.2.
22:08 rangi cool
22:17 hdl fwiw, copynumber is null in most libraries, where barcode is not. But who care
22:17 hdl s
22:17 rangi hmm but it was never sorting on barcode anyway was it?
22:18 rangi was just date accessioned
22:18 jcamins Nope. Just branchname.
22:18 jcamins And date accessioned.
22:18 hdl no, but it doesnot make much sense to add order on an empty value
22:18 rangi so null will drop it back to branch, enumchron, dateaccessiond
22:18 jcamins hdl: it becomes an efficient no-op for libraries that don't populate copy number.
22:19 jcamins For those libraries that do populate copy number, it will be very helpful.
22:19 hdl efficient ?
22:20 jcamins hdl: index statistics should enable MySQL to compile that out of the query entirely.
22:20 jcamins Even if not, I don't think it's a serious performance issue.
22:21 hdl you mean that kind of no-op flooding the code all over the place, and that some libraries envision as a bug, you spend days on and finally you find that it is not a bug... it is a misplaced feature...
22:22 hdl mis-used un-documented feature
22:23 hdl but I don't say more.
22:23 hdl have a nice evening.
22:24 rangi if you feel that strongly you should ask paul to revert it from master maybe
22:24 jcamins rangi: not much point of that. It doesn't break functionality for anyone, and most academic libraries use copynumber.
22:33 rangi jcamins++ #thanks for all the bug status updating
22:34 rangi i only have 127 more mails to read now :)
22:34 jcamins rangi: I have another 70 to do.
22:34 jcamins Alas.
22:34 eythian jcamins: when you've got a minute, can you point me in the direction of how analytics should best be used? My scenario is articles of a journal/magazine being catalogued.
22:35 jcamins eythian: how detailed are the subjects?
22:35 eythian @later tell wizzyrea I hope to do that today, other stuff permitting.
22:35 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
22:35 eythian jcamins: what does that mean?
22:36 jcamins eythian: well, the most sensible workflow to use depends on what level of detail the library uses.
22:36 eythian what kind of detail?
22:36 jcamins Are they just stub records, with no subject information at all?
22:36 jcamins Records with very broad subjects?
22:37 jcamins Detailed subject analysis as with indexing?
22:37 eythian Oh, no. I think they'll be properly catalogued articles.
22:37 eythian at least, not just dtubs
22:37 eythian *stubs
22:38 jcamins Okay, the easiest way to create them would be to use the EasyAnalytics feature.
22:38 eythian OK. How does that work?
22:38 jcamins Incredibly easily.
22:38 eythian :)
22:38 eythian are there docs somewhere?
22:38 jcamins You enable it, create a record for the volume, go to the Analyze tab, and click "Analyze this item."
22:39 jcamins Should be...
22:39 jcamins http://manual.koha-community.o[…]#cataloganalytics
22:39 jcamins Actually...
22:39 eythian oh hey, that does look easy.

22:40 jenkins_koha Starting build #24 for job Koha_3.8.x (previous build: SUCCESS)
22:40 eythian heh
22:40 eythian OK then, what's the easy way?
22:40 jcamins The workflow described there is what you'd do if you already had records for all your articles.
22:41 jcamins The *easy* way is to create the record for the volume, then go to the analytics tab on the left.
22:41 jcamins Then click "Analyze this record" or something like that.
22:41 eythian That lets you create child items for articles then?
22:41 jcamins It's in the item table.
22:41 jcamins Yup.
22:41 jcamins Everything is automatically filled in.
22:42 jcamins (in terms of leader and 773)
22:42 eythian OK, cool. I'll have a play with those now and work out what is the best.
22:42 eythian Thanks!
22:42 jcamins The way I used to do it was 100% manually.
22:42 jcamins You're welcome.
22:42 eythian that's the only way I've done it before to
22:42 eythian o
22:43 jcamins I prefer the simplified workflows.
22:43 jcamins Actually, there's another workflow, too.
22:43 jcamins It's really cool.
22:43 jcamins One moment
22:44 eythian > No system preferences matched your search for easyanalytics.
22:44 eythian hrm
22:44 eythian what version did it appear in?
22:44 jcamins 3.6.0.
22:44 eythian curious
22:44 jcamins Ah, this is a nice one.
22:45 jcamins If you're not using items for serials (many places don't), that doesn't work so well.
22:46 jcamins This may be 3.8.0+ only, though.
22:46 jcamins Not sure.
22:46 jcamins View a record.
22:46 jcamins Under the "New" button on the cataloging toolbar is a "New child record" option.
22:46 eythian oh: EasyAnalyticalRecords
22:47 eythian that'll be why I couldn't find it.
22:47 jcamins Yep.
22:47 eythian the sysprefs needs a 'keywords' feature so that a search for "analytics" would find it.
22:47 jcamins Oh, that's right. I also insisted on an "Analyze items" option under the new button.
22:47 jcamins Cool. :)
22:48 eythian What does the 'analytics' tab in cataloguing do?
22:48 eythian does it just show stuff?
22:49 jcamins No. See on the right. "Create analytic record"?
22:49 eythian no...
22:49 jcamins Do you have items?
22:49 eythian it looks just like the 'normal' view
22:49 eythian oh wait
22:49 BobB joined #koha
22:49 eythian I don't. I dumb.
22:50 eythian So, that way links to the item, rather than just the record?
22:50 jcamins Right.
22:50 eythian OK
22:50 jcamins The "Create child record" option links to the bib record.
22:50 eythian ah right
22:50 eythian I can see them using both methods.
22:51 eythian But now I know how they work at least, that's good :) thanks for that
22:51 jcamins You're welcome.
22:53 jcamins Did my suggestion of setting up a temporary apt repo so that we don't have to worry about reconfiguring debian.k-c.org right now make sense to you?
22:53 jcamins Alternatively, I suppose I could get rangi to tell me how to make a ppa.
22:54 jcamins And, for that matter, what a ppa is.
22:54 rangi hmm ppa is ok for ubuntu
22:54 rangi personal package archive
22:54 jcamins Ah. But won't work for Debian?
22:54 rangi would be better to make a proper oldstable dist
22:54 eythian jcamins: yeah, it's good. I hope it won't be too long before I manage to set up the k-c repo to do it though.
22:55 jcamins eythian: I hope that, too! But I figure better to have the packages *somewhere* now, than nowhere until later.
22:55 eythian but if you want your own one in the interim, nothing wrong with that.
22:55 eythian definitely
22:56 rangi jcamins: yeah the ppa builds for ubuntu releases, it will most likely just work for debian too, but sometimes it might not
23:02 tcohen how about having a koha-3.8 and then a koha-3.10 packages
23:02 rangi hmm i like dists better
23:02 tcohen koha-3.8-3.8.0, koha-3.8-3.8.1 revision
23:03 tcohen oldstable would make it it you maintain just two stable dists
23:03 rangi we do anyway
23:03 rangi 3.4 is EOL
23:04 tcohen right
23:05 rangi you'd have to do things with conflicting etc
23:05 rangi if you had different packages
23:05 eythian tcohen: it would allow people to pick "conservative" or "progressive" or "oh god it bleeds" and stay where they want to be, so oldstable would become 3.8.whatever when 3.6 goes EOL
23:06 rangi ie if you wanted to move from koha-3.8 package to koha-3.10 you'd have to remove one, add the other .. can be messy
23:06 tcohen rangi, i get it. i didn't think about that transition problems
23:08 rangi but, its something we need to figure out when its debian proper too
23:09 rangi course i have to finish bug 4330 before that can be done anyway
23:09 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4330 normal, P3, ---, chris, Needs Signoff , Copyright statements out of date
23:09 eythian rangi: when it's in debian proper, it won't update very fast anyway.
23:09 rangi tis true
23:10 eythian Probably best making a decision each time it's close to freeze as to which version to put in
23:10 rangi yeah, thats a good point
23:10 jcamins Could someone please check bug 7129 for me?
23:10 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7129 normal, P5 - low, ---, aleksa, Pushed to Master , actual cost showing too many zeros
23:10 jcamins I don't think it was ever actually pushed.
23:10 eythian and then have testing/unstable track the current stable, or something like that.
23:10 jcamins Anywhere.
23:10 rangi looking now
23:10 jcamins Thanks.
23:11 rangi hmm nope
23:11 rangi not in master, or 3.8.x
23:12 jcamins Thanks.
