03:35 * eythian wonders if a call to ModBiblio providing no items data will delete existing items.
03:37 eythian looks like no
03:37 eythian actually, either the docs are wrong, or ModBiblio has some weird behaviour
03:37 eythian > The embedded
03:37 eythian item, biblioitem, and biblionumber fields from the previous
03:37 eythian version of the bib record replace any such fields of those tags that
03:37 eythian are present in C<$record>.  Consequently, ModBiblio() is not
03:37 eythian to be used to try to modify item records.
03:37 mtompset joined #koha
03:38 eythian that seems to say that anything with a mapped db column can't be changed using modbiblio.
03:38 eythian which is frankly bizarre
03:41 eythian I think the docs are wrong.
03:42 * mtompset scurries back to the irc logs.
03:43 eythian mostly just talking to myself.
03:43 mtompset eythian: Yes, but it looked like an interesting dialogue to check. :)
04:22 mtj hey peeps, what do people think about using Redis for a new feature for Koha?
04:26 eythian to do what?
04:26 mtompset And let's add nodejs and php and ... ;)
04:27 mtj i have a old carousel feature, that uses memcached… but it would work much better with redis (i think)
04:28 mtompset on a side note, mtj, did you notice my comment on 10823?
04:28 mtj cache persistence after reboot/restart etc...
04:29 edveal joined #koha
04:32 mtj mtompset, just read it :)
04:33 mtj hmm, i cant sign-off on my own patch
04:33 mtompset Yes, but some of that patch you rebased was MINE. ;)
04:33 mtompset and squashed.
04:34 mtj yep, so perhaps we both cant sign-off on that bug?
04:35 eythian mtompset: is cache persistence after reboot/restart a useful thing to have?
04:35 eythian How long does it take to populate the cache the first time?
04:35 mtompset I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer that question.
04:35 eythian err
04:35 eythian mtj
04:35 * mtompset grins, "Autocomplete!"
04:36 mtj eythian, it turns out to be quite crucial for the feature :/
04:36 mtompset mtj, I say sign it off, and if some QA person comes back and says, it needs sign off by someone else, that's fine.
04:36 eythian mtj: why?
04:36 rangi the cache should be designed to be independent
04:37 rangi ppl might run memcache, they might do mmap, they might do whatever .. but i dont think making it a depedency of core koha is a good idea
04:37 rangi maybe do the carousel as a plugin
04:38 eythian also, redis would involve a lot of extra configuration, I'd expect.
04:38 mtj heya chris :)
04:38 rangi heya :)
04:38 mtompset Well, I should sleep.
04:38 eythian But I don't understand why you'd need a "persistent cache" (given those two words are somewhat of an oxymoron together.)
04:38 mtompset Have a great day (24 hour period), #koha rangi eythian mtj.
04:38 eythian later
04:39 mtj the really short version of the caro problem is, i've been targeting google-bookcovers, as a source
04:40 mtj why?, coz they have the best coverage of new book images - compared to OL
04:41 eythian that doesn't address the question of why a persistent cache is a requirement.
04:41 mtj so the problem is… its quite easy to get banned by google, when building up a fresh memcached cache :/
04:41 rangi hmm that sounds like we are breaking their t&c then
04:42 mtj i think a persistent cache would solve that problem
04:42 eythian sounds dodgy.
04:44 john__ joined #koha
04:47 john__ Hello everybody.  Sorry to start from whining but for two days I'm tring to fix one problem with no success. Could someone help me with this: Can't call method "param" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth.pm ???
04:49 rangi gonna need a lot more context than that
04:50 john__ Oh thanks! Yes, It happens after update. Then when I was trying to login as admin to koha it start to uptade database and after that I'm geting this message
04:51 rangi going from what version to what version?
04:51 john__ from 3.8 to current
04:52 john__ I cant find any solution on the web.
04:53 rangi yeah its not a known bug, you seem to be the first one to have run into it, going to 3.14.05 eh?
04:53 john__ Beeng searching for last two days
04:54 john__ yes
04:54 rangi what line is it giving that error on
04:54 john__ No, I'm not a fist one.  http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.[…]914.html#a5728915
04:55 john__ line 695
04:55 rangi you are to 3.14.5
04:55 rangi that was from 3.2 to 3.6
04:55 john__ 695 in my case
04:56 mtj eythian, its not really dodgy - i'm just bumping into a scaling problem with the caro
04:57 john__ What could be a soilution for that? What do you thing?
04:57 rangi its the search history
04:58 eythian bad cookie?
04:58 rangi could be, try hitting the opac, then the staff interface
04:58 eythian or rather, cookie format changed
04:59 john__ I have done a full reindex after an upgrade
04:59 rangi its nothing to do with indexes
04:59 mtj ...on a production server after a memcached restart, a nagios ping will cause a bunch of kohas to hit google at the same time
04:59 rangi id go into your browser and delete the CGISESSID cookie
05:00 eythian mtj: why is Koha hitting google, anyway?
05:01 mtj to check that a bib's isbn has a book-cover
05:01 eythian ah
05:01 mtj the success/failure is added to the cache
05:02 eythian why not just put that in the database with a 30-day ± random <=2 days?
05:02 eythian (for example.)
05:03 john__ is there is some special place for CGISESSID cookies? I cant find it in preferances?
05:03 eythian delete your cookies for the koha site, in your browser.
05:04 mtj yeah, i think i will have to switch to just using a mysql table
05:04 john__ Deleted, same error
05:05 mtj i initially wanted many kohas sharing the memcache data, (that made some good sense)
05:06 mtj …switching to mysql will mean that each koha will be forced to have separate isbn caches :/
05:07 mtj so, 1step forward, 1step back :)
05:08 john__ to delete and create new instanse will help?
05:08 eythian john__: try deleting everything from the sessions table in the database.
05:09 john__ OK, let me try
05:11 rangi its this line
05:11 rangi $anon_search_history = $session->param('search_history');
05:11 rangi which means that no $session is being created
05:12 mtj fwiw, the memcache solution worked really well with open-libraries covers
05:12 mtj but the catch with OL was… OL have many covers - but not many *new* covers
05:14 mtj so, for new books - OL often had a very small number of hits
05:16 mtj ...switching to google-books fixed that nicely.. but introduced a new problem when building a fresh isbn cache
05:18 mtj to fix the google-books problem - swapping memcache for a mysql table will (hopefully?) fix that :)
05:21 eythian dont' forget to make the expiry time stochastic.
05:22 john__ There is no sessons table in my koha database. I cant find it. For any case I'm emptyed search history table, restart sql but still same problem
05:23 rangi well theres the problem right there
05:23 eythian yeah
05:23 eythian that'll be the issue
05:23 * rangi has to go catch his bus
05:23 john__ Ok, But before update was no essues with login
05:24 eythian john__: if you don't have a sessions table, something has probably gone screwey
05:24 eythian I don't imagine it's change in the past several releases at least.
05:24 eythian So if it's missing, what else is missing?
05:24 john__ What should I do?
05:25 pastebot "eythian" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "list of tables in koha" (161 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/213
05:25 eythian your list of tables should look something like this.
05:25 eythian see what is missing.
05:26 eythian if it's only sessions, then: CREATE TABLE `sessions` (  `id` varchar(32) NOT NULL,  `a_session` text NOT NULL,  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
05:27 john__ Ok let me compare them please
05:29 john__ I have 163 tables but in here http://paste.koha-community.org/213 only 161
05:30 eythian what are the differences, and in particular, what are you missing (given you don't seem to have a sessions table.)
05:39 dac joined #koha
05:45 john__ Stupid question how many columns should be in sessions table?
05:45 john__ Sorry
05:46 eythian 2, see the create statement above.
05:46 mtj ...or look at the schema for Koha too
05:46 mtj schema?
05:46 wahanui schema is tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org
05:46 mtj john__ ^^ :)
05:47 mtj http://schema.koha-community.o[…]les/sessions.html
05:49 john__ I'm using phpmyadmin to create it.
05:50 eythian the main concern is that if the sessions table is missing, other things may be missing/wrong also.
05:51 john__ yes I'm trying to compare them now.
05:52 john__ How it has happen?
05:53 eythian I don't know.
05:53 john__ Actualy there is not much data in database. May be it will be easier to delete and create new instance?
05:53 eythian it could be, yeah.
05:54 eythian definitely safer if there's not much there.
05:54 john__ Could you please guide me a bit on this?
05:56 john__ Whould be enough to sudo koha-remove {instance}?
05:56 john__ And create new one
05:59 eythian you could use phpmyadmin to delete all the tables.
05:59 eythian that'd probably be easier as you wouldn't need to set it up again.
06:00 eythian (koha would see that there are no tables and create them for you.)
06:01 john__ Just itself ? or I should run some command?
06:01 eythian no, it'll do it for you. you don't need to do anything special.
06:02 john__ ok. let me try
06:04 john__ delete means drop right?
06:05 eythian yep
06:05 john__ Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails
06:06 eythian skip it and come back to it.
06:06 eythian when you delete whatever that one depends on, you'll be able to delete that one.
06:09 john__ ok looks pretty empty :)
06:10 eythian cool, now hit the web installer again and it should offer to set everything up for you.
06:10 john__ Yes I'm doing this now
06:13 john__ Sorry, what should I choose Marc21 or Unimarc?
06:15 eythian it depends on your library
06:15 eythian what language are your records usually in?
06:15 john__ english
06:15 eythian and what country are you in?
06:16 john__ India
06:16 eythian then marc21
06:20 john__ I mean server in India is this important?
06:22 eythian it's what the library uses. If it was a typically french speaking country, or some others, I would have said unimarc, but I'm pretty sure Indian libraries use marc21 generally.
06:22 john__ Select your MARC flavor  Marc21 Unimarc
06:23 john__ Installation complete!
06:23 john__ Thank you so much!!!!!
06:23 john__ I'm so much appreciate your help!!!
06:24 eythian no worries
06:24 eythian it's what the channel is for :)
06:26 john__ Anyway I'm your debtor
06:27 eythian I could use more debtors really ;)
06:27 john__ :)
06:29 * eythian builds new master packages.
06:29 eythian hopefully this works, haven't done it for a bit too long.
06:32 eythian so far so good...
06:36 eythian damn. Now I know why. Stupid versioning issues.
06:36 eythian shoulda fixed that upstream

07:18 kivilahtio has anyone installed koha on ubuntu 14.04?
07:19 kivilahtio apache2 doesnt recognize my sites-available/koha as a proper site when trying to "a2ensite koha" :(
07:21 kivilahtio maybe running iwth nginx :)
07:21 dac kivilahtio: I haven't tried but are you using apache 2.4?
07:22 dac If so, I think there are some noted issues with that
07:22 kivilahtio dac: no idea. I installed apt-get install koha-deps
07:22 kivilahtio yeah there was something in http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ubuntu_-_packages
07:28 dac Hmm, not sure, kivilahtio.
07:28 dac Alas, it's time for me to head home. Good luck!
07:28 kivilahtio dac: me neither. Thanks and take care!

08:47 cait @later tell could you take a look at bug 12042 for another native speaker's opionion maybe?
08:47 huginn cait: The operation succeeded.
09:08 paxed cait: isn't the dd.mm.yyyy format widely used in germany too?
09:08 cait paxed: correct
09:08 cait that's why i commented, I'd really like to see that
09:09 cait we never got a complaint, but it would be nice to have the option
09:10 paxed ah. wikipedia says "Since 1996-05-01, the international format yyyy-mm-dd has become the official standard date format" for Germany
09:10 cait huh?
09:11 paxed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D[…]format_by_country
09:11 phasefx joined #koha
09:12 paxed ideally i'd fix the whole dateformat thing to allow the admin set the date format specifier, instead of just picking from a list.
09:12 cait ah, but it also says noone uses it :)
09:12 paxed but at least we over here can go forward with this now.
09:14 * cait tries to wrap her mind around bug 11947
09:14 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=11947 major, P5 - low, ---, robin, Signed Off , Hold priorities not re-calculated when hold is confirmed on checkin.
09:16 paxed hah.
09:17 paxed we have a need to have multiple holds for the same person. i wrote a fix for that, and i wondered why the priorities weren't being recalc'd.
09:19 cait ah yeah
09:19 cait there has been quite a lot of work in that area recently
09:19 cait there are bugs for multiple holds, i think it's something that is quite desired
09:20 cait always so much to do...
09:21 paxed yes. the reserves table uses patron, bibitem and date as the unique key. which is silly.
09:21 cait ah no longer i think
09:21 cait we got a reserveid now
09:21 paxed sure, but it's not used.
09:21 cait but it's not old, so some of the code still needs updating
09:22 cait yeah, we are still moving into it, there is a patch - bug 12079
09:22 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=12079 normal, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, Needs Signoff , CheckReserves() and _Findgroupreserve do not return reserve_id
09:22 cait woudl be good to see that signed off so we can fix it up a bit more
09:28 paxed cait: see 12085
09:28 paxed eh. bug 12085
09:28 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=12085 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Allow staff to place multiple reserves for the same patron
09:28 paxed just throwing it up there, perhaps it'll be of some use.
09:29 cait thx
09:29 cait i think i foundanother priority issue...
09:29 cait *sigh*
09:41 cait bug 12086
09:41 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=12086 major, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Hold priorities incorrect, when waiting status was reversed

12:48 oleonard In that case it should probably be marked "assigned"
12:49 cait hm maybe
12:53 khall @later tell gmcharlt can you please ready my reply on bug 8352 and render me a verdict? thanks!
12:53 huginn khall: The operation succeeded.

13:06 cait khall: render you a verdict?
13:06 cait never mind, i looked it up :)
13:06 khall : )
13:09 cait hm not sure there, but i think configuring printers from the web might have advantages
13:09 cait with another system i know there was always the problem that the standard printer is the slip printer
13:09 cait but some prints were supposed to go to the big printer or reverse
13:09 cait so being able to pick a specific printer for different tasks was wanted

13:14 khall cait: good point, you should fail qa on it with that as a note
13:14 talljoy cait, i haven't found anything that scares khall yet.
13:14 cait khall: saw now that you tell it the printer in the job
13:14 Joubu cait: ok thanks
13:15 cait Joubu: i found a couple of small things - nothing big so far, but still have to test the new pref functionality

14:32 peggy joined #koha
14:33 peggy I'm interested in looking at how koha might send the results of a cron report as an email attachment rather than embedding the report in the email message.
14:34 Oak joined #koha
14:35 peggy Is there a convention for creating temporary files by Koha?  Is there a directory that can be used to store temporary files?  I would only need to create, write, send, delete the file.

14:48 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
14:49 mtompset Greetings, cait.
14:49 cait peggy: i tink what we do now is create the file for the attachment
14:49 cait peggy: that's how the overdues mail does it, the one that is sent to the library with a file attachement
14:50 cait hm i tink i am not making sense
14:50 cait for overdues the attachement seems to be stored within the message_queue table and not as a separate file
14:50 cait i think some of the cronjobs ask for a path where they put temporary files then, so oyu have to set it up
14:50 mtompset cait: Your superserials bug that you noticed... I just found a patch to sign off for that, I think.
14:51 cait fredericd did one
14:51 cait today
14:51 mtompset Yes, I am looking at it now... I'll also note that potential conflict between the bug patches. :)
14:51 peggy OK, Cait, thanks.  I'll check out the crons for ideas.  I didn't want to reinvent the wheel if there was already a convention.

14:59 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=11797 minor, P5 - low, ---, mtompset, In Discussion , auth_finder.pl: Odd number of elements in anonymous hash
15:00 gmcharlt also, re your followup for UNIMARC, is it certain that the subfield $a and $9 values will never have a valid value that evaluates to Perl false?
15:00 mtompset gmcharlt: This patch wasn't UNIMARC or MARC21 specific.
15:00 Joubu gmcharlt: oops, yes sorry, I'm fixing it right now
15:01 mtompset It was?
15:01 Joubu gmcharlt: yes... should be //
15:01 gmcharlt mtompset: I was assuming so by inference from the fact that Joubu had filed a UNIMARC follow-up patch
15:01 gmcharlt doesn't matter either way, I WILL TEST THEM ALL!
15:02 gmcharlt ;)
15:02 Joubu mtompset: there is a if unimarc else

15:52 vfernandes hi :)
15:53 vfernandes one question: it's possible to know which reserves and renews are done in OPAC?
15:54 vfernandes my client asked to created two reports to obtain those numbers
15:56 oleonard vfernandes: There is the  OpacRenewalBranch system preference for tracking OPAC renewals, assuming you don't *also* want to track OPAC renewals by library
15:57 vfernandes and for reserves?
16:01 oleonard I don't know of a way to track OPAC holds.
16:04 mtompset I've never printed labels before... Are the barcodes supposed to be a different label?
16:06 oleonard What do you mean mtompset?
16:06 mtompset how can I share a screen print?
16:06 mtompset I'll show you.
16:08 mtompset http://snag.gy/wfXXp.jpg
16:09 mtompset It's like the labels are shifted over one.
16:10 mtompset Is that normal, oleonard?
16:12 oleonard Doesn't look normal to me, but the only time I use labels is when testing labels.
16:14 mtompset Hmmm... I wonder if a PDF library is newer in Debian.

16:32 mtompset hey! why is my patch called idiotmatically? The problem is subfields is too smart/dumb for its own good. I just force a scalar context by assigning it to a scalar.
16:52 khall joined #koha
17:05 gmcharlt mtompset: Joubu's approach avoids the use of one-use temporary variables, which is why I standardized on it
17:06 gmcharlt also, I called nothing "idiot"; there is a difference between idiomatic and non-, is all

18:37 mtompset gmcharlt: Out of curiousity, how would the upgrade process work for a koha if we used a versioned number? You've have to tweak /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list each major version?
18:37 gmcharlt mtompset: yes
18:38 gmcharlt on the plus side, no unexpected major version upgrades
18:38 mtompset And would we delete old repos?
18:38 gmcharlt on the minus side, perhaps a slightly increased chance of folks falling behind
18:38 gmcharlt yeah, I think the idea is that suites would be removed once a version is desupported
18:39 mtompset And would there be a way to have a label like 'current' shift with the creation of the latest version?
18:40 mtompset i.e. get it to still behave the way it currently does.
18:41 mtompset so those who don't want it to auto upgrade can use the version number method, but those who are willing to jump with the shift use the 'stable' method.
18:42 gmcharlt yes; I don't think there's anything precluding doing both approaches in the same APT repo

22:51 mtompset ^happen^happy^
23:22 mtompset eythian: I know it is evil, but could we force a version upgrade in the case that a version is retired, but leaving the name 3.x.y, but linking it 3.x+1,z?
23:23 eythian then what's the point?
23:23 mtompset Hmm... you're right... the version labels become pointless then.
23:24 gmcharlt yeah, don't want to mislead like that; better would be for it to complain duing apt-get update that it can no longer find the version, which would make the sysadmin look at sources.list
23:28 eythian my thinking is more you can be conservative or less conservative, but you'll always be current with no extra work on your part aside from updates.
23:29 mtompset So are we going to break people's sources.list files by losing the names squeeze and squeeze-dev?
23:30 eythian nope, we're doing to symlink them if that's possible, which I think it is.
23:30 eythian *going
23:32 mtompset So, logically we are maintaining the versions and old labels, and perhaps friendlier new labels (which will be used in documentation), but physically which will be which?
23:33 mtompset we are -- we plan to.
23:33 eythian I'd probably go for testing, stable, oldstable, as this mirrors debian.
23:33 eythian Probably more correctly would be experimental, stable, oldstable, but eh
23:38 gmcharlt if we go with that, I'd actually go with experimental, testing, stable, oldstable
23:38 gmcharlt experimental being the master builds
23:39 gmcharlt testing being, at least provisionally, the first major .0 release
23:39 gmcharlt IOW, for a major release, don't instantly make its .0 the current stable
23:41 cait left #koha
23:42 eythian hmm
23:42 eythian So, the only difference between testing and stable is that testing gets .0?
23:43 gmcharlt right
23:44 eythian that's a sizeable bit of overhead for a very small difference.
23:45 eythian I'd be more inclined to say that if you don't want a .0 release, don't upgrade to it.
23:46 eythian Having a separate distro requires maintaining another packaging branch and doing another build for each one.
23:47 mario joined #koha
23:47 rangi hi mario
23:47 mario hey rangi
23:48 gmcharlt and we circle back to the original problem, which is that 10 months of the year, a plain old apt-get upgrade gets you a minor release, while two tiimes a year it gets a major upgrade
23:48 bag mario is the new systems person with ByWater

23:49 mario hello all
23:50 mario pianohacker++
23:50 eythian gmcharlt: yeah. Though, to what degree is that a real problem?
23:51 eythian we could put a debconf thing in that lets you know and gives you the option to back out of the upgrade, but that's probably not a great idea (and I'm not 100% sure debconf can do that.)
23:52 BobB joined #koha
23:52 gmcharlt well, we don't tend to ship badly broken releases nowadays, but an unexpected major upgrade can be painful for libraries who like to prepare with internal training on the new features
23:52 BobB joined #koha
23:52 bag heya BobB
23:53 BobB hi bag
23:53 gmcharlt of course, many major releases add a dep or two, forcing a dist-upgrade and giving a sysadmin a chance to say "better switch to oldstable", but that's not guaranteed at present
23:54 eythian no upgrade should be unexpected if people are paying attention, though that's a bit of an "ideal world" situation.
23:54 bag ideal_world++
23:54 gmcharlt eythian: just a bit! ;)
23:55 eythian I suppose the best way would be to survey people and see where they tend to stand.
