16:32 jcamins_away drojf: I thought of something fun you could do!
16:32 jcamins_away @query nginx
16:32 huginn jcamins_away: Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9316 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Needs Signoff , Add Nginx install options with plack
16:32 jcamins_away ^^ doesn't that patch look fun?!?
16:42 drojf that looks like amazing amusement
16:42 drojf how is the weather situation jcamins?
16:42 jcamins Kind of pitiful, really.
16:42 jcamins We don't have more than a foot of snow, and it's bright and sunny.
16:43 drojf i'm sure you're disappointed ;)
16:43 jcamins Hehe.
16:58 jcamins Heh. I just read an assertion that RDA is intended to make bibliographic records more understandable to computers.
16:58 jcamins The elimination of abbreviations is the opposite of that.
16:59 jcamins Now instead of needing to recognize "p." and "S." as meaning "pages," a system that wants to make use of that information needs to know the word for "pages" in *every single European language*.
17:00 jcamins And that's an optimistic outcome, since that assumes that no research library would ever want to use that data.
17:02 drojf sounds great. professionals at work
17:02 jcamins drojf: it was an assertion by a librarian who has already observed that RDA is worse for people.
17:03 drojf they have to change stuff. how would they justify the license fees otherwise?
17:03 drojf :)
17:03 jcamins Yeah... that's why I'm giving up MARC for Lent.
17:04 drojf and we could sell different flavours of koha. one for each language and its abbreviations. and a multilanguage version for 5x the price
17:04 jcamins drojf: nice!
17:05 jcamins I guess the one problem with my proposed alternative to MARC is that the data still isn't translatable.
17:07 drojf lousy people, speaking different languages
17:07 drojf we could just agree on one
17:09 drojf i'm not sure if it was a great idea to update a vm to wheezy to test that nginx/plack patch
17:09 jcamins I guess it would be easy enough to have multiple languages.
17:09 drojf that takes forever
17:09 jcamins Hehe.
17:09 jcamins Probably not.
17:10 drojf i thought it would be easier than going through the manual starman installation pain
17:10 jcamins One of the changes I insisted on was eliminating the starman requirement.
17:10 jcamins If starman's available, it'll use it, otherwise it'll just use Plack.
17:11 drojf yes it won't be usable for normal people on squeeze otherwise
17:11 jcamins Exactly.
17:12 drojf i just got asked whether i would like to keep my old sudoers file or overwrite it. that's a funny question
17:12 jcamins That seems... problematic.
17:12 drojf indeed
17:18 aquaghost joined #koha
17:18 drojf aaand it's broken
17:18 jcamins The patch is, or the system?
17:18 drojf the system
17:18 wahanui the system is probably running nothing else...
17:19 jcamins That's unfortunate.
17:19 jcamins Very unfortunate, even.
17:22 drojf i think it was just a path weirdness. looks like it continues the upgrade
17:23 drojf i had to enter a mysql password. that is odd. some things are pretty strange
17:55 drojf 45 minutes to upgrade, but now it took only a few seconds to install starman ;)
17:58 drojf joined #koha
17:58 drojf fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (C4/Installer/PerlDependencies.pm).
17:58 drojf Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge.
17:58 drojf Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
17:58 drojf that does not sound right
18:06 jcamins No it doesn't.
18:06 jcamins Do you have an up-to-date copy of master?
18:06 drojf and it is not the upgrade's fault, i get the same on the other copy
18:06 drojf yes
18:06 jcamins Weird.
18:06 jcamins I get the same thing.
18:09 drojf perldependencies... looks like it has to do with removing starman
18:12 jcamins But starman shouldn't have been in there to begin with...
18:13 jcamins I think Elliott forgot to squash some patches in.
18:14 drojf yes that was worded badly. i don't mean it has to do with removing starman technically
18:20 drojf "Amazon book covers are retrieved with Amazon Product Advertising     API, which means that more covers are retrieved (ISBN13)."
18:20 drojf what is that supposed to mean?
18:23 * jcamins doesn't try to understand. :P
18:24 drojf maybe i am more of a tinfoil hat person, but it sounds like that feature makes whoever runs that cover url caching server get paid by amazon?
18:25 jcamins No, I think it's just against the Terms of Service.
18:25 jcamins I mean, yes, that would be true, if we weren't breaking the terms of service.
18:25 jcamins I think.
18:25 jcamins But if you violate the Terms of Service, I think you just get your account suspended.
18:26 drojf ok that is a valid alternative lol
18:27 drojf i still don't see the point of that enhancement. have another outside service to help me use more outside services?
18:27 jcamins Simplify AJAX-y cover fallback.
18:27 jcamins Right now we can't handle it.
18:30 drojf not that i ever looked at that feature, but it does not sound too hard to ask for the cover, check if that is a graphic file at the other end and if not, try the next in the list
18:30 drojf there might be more magic to it though
18:31 jcamins Yeah... the problem is that we don't request the covers on the server.
18:31 jcamins And we have four different types of javascript for loading covers.
18:31 drojf ok that sounds like less fun
18:31 jcamins Exactly.
18:38 jcamins Hehe.

18:43 rambutan whatup?
18:44 drojf not much. quiet weekend business
18:50 jcamins rambutan: the blizzard was very anti-climactic.
18:51 rambutan yea, I thought I'd check in with you and see if you had electricity
18:51 jcamins Yup. We got less than a foot of snow, and it's bright and sunny out now.
18:52 rambutan seems we always have to check up on the NZ people after earthquakes and the NE US people after snowstorms.

23:46 spiker joined #koha
23:46 spiker hi
23:47 spiker I'm trying to help a no-profit here where I live that has an old installation of koha (3.00, put up by a volunteer years ago that has now left)
23:47 spiker I've got them up on a new server  (ubuntu LTS 12.04) and got koha running from packages
23:48 spiker what I'm trying to figure out now is what to do with the data
23:48 jcamins spiker: the channel's pretty quiet now, and I'm working on other things, but if I can help, I will. :)
23:48 jcamins Oh, you did all the parts that require lots of explanations already.
23:48 jcamins Export the MySQL database from the old 3.0 server.
23:48 jcamins Copy it to the new server.
23:48 spiker I have a dump from the old db but I'm expecting things to have changed to a degree and by the look of things it won;t cleanly import, will it?
23:48 jcamins Load that data into the 3.10 (or 3.8?) DB.
23:49 spiker I've taken a look at the schema on the new db and it seems different
23:49 spiker I'm on 3.10
23:49 jcamins Run: `sudo koha-upgrade-schema [instancename] && sudo koha-upgrade-to-3.4 [instancename]`
23:50 jcamins You want to import the 3.0 database into a _completely_ empty database.
23:50 jcamins Then those two commands will take care of all the schema changes.
23:50 spiker when you say completely you mean without even doing the web install part?
23:50 jcamins Right.
23:50 spiker that seems to create some tables
23:50 spiker ah, ok
23:50 spiker then I guess I'll nuke the db
23:50 spiker thanks, trying that
23:50 jcamins And those two commands will take a *long* time.
23:50 jcamins Probably overnight.
23:51 spiker hurray for migration commands \o/
23:51 jcamins You'll get a bunch of error messages, which are worth saving for review, but nothing to worry about.
23:51 spiker ok, cool, I'll get it going in a screen and check in again later
23:51 spiker thanks for your help, appreciate it
23:51 jcamins You're welcome.
23:52 jcamins I love it when people come with easy questions.
23:52 spiker heh
23:53 spiker might be worth to edit http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ubuntu_-_packages to point out that those migrations steps will work in a case like this
23:53 spiker when I read the section http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]rade_Instructions it seems to suggest it would only apply to packaged based installations
23:53 spiker and it misses the comment you made about having a completely empty db
23:54 spiker I'll see if I can register and maybe add a few comments once I've got this to work
23:54 spiker thanks again
23:54 jcamins Right, when upgrading a package install, you probably won't be going through the entire installation process because there's a restore script.
23:54 spiker I see
23:54 jcamins We definitely need to note that you can upgrade from any type of Koha installation.
23:56 spiker maybe I'll just put up a little blog post for anybody that's in my same situation, going from 3.00 to 3.10 felt like it was gonna be a huge deal as a lot seemed to have changed (I'm completely new to koha which obviously doesn't help :) )
23:56 spiker just trying to help the folks here as I get some spare time over the weekend
23:56 jcamins Just make sure you point to the wiki as the canonical source of information, so if things change in a few years, people don't try and follow your blog post to disastrous results. :)
23:56 jcamins What type of non-profit is it?
23:57 spiker and btw, I'll extend a thank you from them, they've been using koha for a long time and their 2 schools run on it, without it'd been hard I guess (I just came around recently)
23:57 spiker buddhist association, they have 2 small schools for children and a library (small stuff tho)
23:57 spiker in CA
23:57 jcamins Awesome!
23:57 wahanui That'll be $1 for the awesome jar, jcamins
23:58 jcamins Hehe.
23:58 spiker will make sure to add the pointer, thanks for the remainder
23:58 jcamins eythian: I like wahanui's response to "Awesome"... well done.
