i need a signoff too on bug 32399 (major; simple patch) |

on it marcelr |
| 07:16 |
|
marcelr |
great ! |
| 07:18 |

I think I can handle the first one, if that helps... |

this is again all to do with bad deleted_* tables isn't it â˜¹ï¸ |
| 07:19 |
|
ashimema |
maintaining constraints in perl never feels especially right.. |
| 07:19 |
|
ashimema |
but that's not going away any time soon.. so I get it. |
| 07:19 |
|
davidnind |
just waiting for KTD to update â²ï¸ |
| 07:21 |
|
marcelr |
great davidnind |
| 07:22 |
|
ashimema |
oh |
| 07:22 |
|
ashimema |
sorry.. I just did it 😜 |
| 07:22 |
|
marcelr |
ashimema: it is quite weird that this problem occurs with Maria 10.1 and not 10.4 or 5 |
| 07:22 |
|
ashimema |
feel free to add a second signoff though, it never hurts davidnind |
| 07:22 |
|
ashimema |
that is strange |
| 07:22 |
|
marcelr |
ashimema: talking about 32417 or 32399 |
| 07:23 |
|
ashimema |
I did 32417 |
| 07:23 |
|
marcelr |
but this approach seems to tackle it |
| 07:23 |
|
ashimema |
just about to look at 3239 |
| 07:23 |
|
ashimema |
should the bug title be 'cannot cancel order' or similar... |
| 07:23 |
|
marcelr |
32417 is a nice example of two bugs hiding each other |
| 07:23 |
|
ashimema |
it seems it's mostly around the cancel action rather than the store itself |
| 07:24 |
|
marcelr |
its hard to get a good title there |
| 07:24 |
|
ashimema |
yeah. |
| 07:24 |
|
marcelr |
so i just used the warn |
| 07:24 |
|
ashimema |
I agree |
| 07:25 |
|
ashimema |
makes sense |
| 07:25 |

Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=32334 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, m.de.rooy, Needs Signoff , Sync comments in database with schema |
| 07:26 |
|
marcelr |
quite a bunch of code but not affecting general operation |
| 07:27 |
|
marcelr |
i should set it to medium patch |
| 07:27 |
|
marcelr |
Koha::Database::Commenter->new->reset_to_schema; |
| 07:28 |
|
marcelr |
it syncs all column comments in the database with kohastructure |
| 07:28 |
|
ashimema |
nice |
| 07:28 |
|
marcelr |
it helps you find the real problems by clearing the column diffs |

that patch feels so strange for bug 32399.. |

Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=32399 major, P5 - low, ---, m.de.rooy, Needs Signoff , Database update for bug 30483 is failing |
| 07:30 |
|
ashimema |
db versions are fun aren't they |
| 07:31 |
|
marcelr |
weird things happen |
| 07:31 |
|
marcelr |
at first i unset FK checks but QA wasnt happy |
| 07:32 |
|
marcelr |
so plan B is remove constraints, add them back later |
| 07:33 |
|
ashimema |
I think the patch makes good sense once one wraps their head around it.. |
| 07:34 |
|
ashimema |
I sort of wish there was an easy way for users, from the UI, to say 'do the recommended action' rather than just warning, dieing and expecting a server admin to step in. |
| 07:35 |
|
ashimema |
but that's not a problem with your patch.. that's a feature enhancement request 😛 |
| 07:35 |
|
marcelr |
yeah we already benefit from interrupting the installer a bit more user friendly |
| 07:35 |
|
ashimema |
indeed |
| 07:35 |
|
marcelr |
by catching exceptions etc |
| 07:35 |
|
ashimema |
this is much more friendly |
| 07:35 |
|
ashimema |
having the exceptions caught |
| 07:36 |
|
ashimema |
and a nice clear advice |
| 07:40 |
|
marcelr |
thx ashimema |

How would people feel about moving/adding OPACBaseURL up into the branches table? |
| 07:47 |
|

I.e. allowing per branch opacs out of the box |

how do you differentiate technically? |

|
marcelr |
subdomains? |
| 07:58 |
|
davidnind |
For 32417 how do I generate the error? If I cancel the order and delete catalog record I don't see anything in the error logs. (tests now pass, so OK there) |

wrong window... |
| 08:39 |

marcelr: figured it out I think, have added notes to the bug |

marcelr |
great |
| 08:40 |
|
marcelr |
thx for spending the additional time |
| 08:43 |
|
davidnind |
sorry it took so long, my computer is "playing up" - looking forward to a new one which should arrive next week... |
| 08:54 |
|
cait1 |
davidnind: new computers are fun - hope you will have a smooth switch to the new one :) |
| 08:56 |
|
davidnind |
cait1: I'm looking forward to a faster processor and more memory (only have 8GB, going to 32GB), not looking forward to reinstalling everything and tidying all my files... |
| 10:16 |
|
ashimema |
That's a nice boost |
| 10:17 |
|
ashimema |
Yeah, subdomains or even entruely different domains marcelr |
| 10:17 |
|
ashimema |
One would still need to do some work with vhosts I reckon |
| 10:17 |
|
ashimema |
But it would alleviate some of the SetEnvIf stuff we currently do to achieve this |
| 10:19 |
|
marcelr |
looking forward to your patches :) |

anyone else agree that the new "Edit" button on reports should be a split button, where the main action is to edit, and then duplicate and delete can be in the little dropdown on the side? |

if a test plan gets really long, is it okay to just write "see bugzilla for test plan", or should it go in the commit no matter the length? |
| 14:50 |
|
caroline_catlady |
I think in the commit is ok. It's easy to see there and bugzilla can get confusing when there are many comments |

+1 |
| 15:21 |

davidnind |
Not too much more to do - just adding some text for the landing pages, and putting the contents under the right areas |
| 15:22 |
|
davidnind |
I'll finish what I'm doing and then send around a message to the mailing list for feedback, if that would work? |

|
davidnind |
Some work to do on the areas where we don't have any content - like the What's new and Getting started |
| 15:23 |
|
caroline |
Would it impact other modifications that we do? Like if I push my big move from tools to cataloging, will it impact how I should do it? |
| 15:23 |
|
ashimema |
davidnind++ |
| 15:23 |
|
caroline |
yep davidnind++ definitely! |
| 15:24 |
|
davidnind |
No - as I'm just basically changing the index page at the moment and adding some new pages that don't exist |
| 15:24 |
|
cait1 |
if this affects mostly the contents page, that might not be a problem? |
| 15:24 |

alright! |
| 15:25 |

I think automated screenshots will be a big plus too, especially with the interface change |

I have a translation issue i'd like to discuss... if that could go on agenda somewhere? |
| 15:27 |
|
caroline |
not sure if you needed that... |
| 15:27 |
|
* ashimema |
thinks you could branch early this cycle and then publish your work in progress manual early too.. |
| 15:27 |
|
davidnind |
no, I didn't put in a # |
| 15:27 |
|
caroline |
cait1, maybe in the Content development guidelines (..items for discussion, including any work flow issues.. |
| 15:27 |
|
caroline |
)? |
| 15:27 |
|
ashimema |
thus you could merge that re-organisation nice an early to get feedback without affecting the stable manual |
| 15:28 |
|
cait1 |
let me know when it's a good moment? :) |
| 15:28 |

| 15:30 |
|
caroline |
A couple of months (?) ago we changed the system preference links |
| 15:31 |
|
caroline |
We now have to link to the label, we can't link to the system preference itself |
| 15:32 |
|
caroline |
iirc, the reason is that having headers as link targets made a bunch of errors when building the manual |
| 15:32 |

|
cait1 |
sorry, was just editing the agenda |
| 15:33 |
|
ashimema |
ho.. did I break something with the sysprefs stuff |
| 15:33 |
|
ashimema |
I thought I'd made the situation better rather than worse? |
| 15:33 |
|
cait1 |
it did resolve the errors, but I thinkt here was also a configuration change associated? |
| 15:34 |
|
cait1 |
ashimema: this is a different thing, not what you did with the direct link to pages |
| 15:34 |
|
ashimema |
phew |
| 15:34 |
|
cait1 |
but you can no longer do ref::"prefname" |
| 15:34 |
|

or shoudl not |
| 15:34 |
|
caroline |
I'm looking for the gitlab issue, just a sec |
| 15:35 |
|
cait1 |
I think we used some type of setting that auto-generated 'labels' for headings, but we had issues with translations and error handling |
| 15:35 |
|
caroline |
this is what I'm talking about https://gitlab.com/koha-commun[…]anual/-/issues/18 |
| 15:35 |
|
davidnind |
that sounds right - you found a solution to getting rid of the duplicate label warning messages when buidling the manual |
| 15:36 |
|

ah right, so if you had a heading like "summary" that appeared in mulitple places, it created an error too |
| 15:36 |
|
cait1 |
because the headings and the auto-generated labels weren't unique then |
| 15:36 |

davidnind++ and cait++ for doing it so quickly! We managed to change all links to system preferences in an afternoon between the trhee of us |
| 15:37 |

It was great teamwork! |
| 15:38 |

and the manual now builts without errors! |
| 15:38 |
|

I haven't tried it recently, but it is now so much easier to see the "real" errors when building |
| 15:39 |
|
ashimema |
nice |
| 15:39 |
|

#info links to system preferences have been changed in the manual |
| 15:39 |
|
ashimema |
do let me know if you want ptfs-e help on those things too... lucyvh and aude don't lurk so much, but I can always poke them 😜 |
| 15:39 |
|
* ashimema |
just added a topic to the agenda after this one |
| 15:39 |
|
caroline |
#info links to system preferences must now have the same format as links to everything else :ref:`SysPrefName <sysprefname-label>` |
| 15:40 |
|
cait1 |
in the process we also found and fixed other errors like broken links, so overall a good thing |
| 15:40 |
|
caroline |
#info this change, related to gitlab issue 18, resolved a lot of errors when building the manual |
| 15:40 |
|
aude_c |
yes, we can easily be found ;-) Very happy to help, just need clear instructions as I'm not very comfortable using the gitlab web interface yet |
| 15:41 |
|
caroline |
tbh, I'm not comfortable with the gitlab interface either lol |
| 15:41 |
|
aude_c |
haha, that re-assures me a lot! Thank you |
| 15:41 |
|
* ashimema |
noticed there's considerations on using markdown later and was going to talk about making contributing easier then too |
| 15:41 |
|
cait1 |
with our big files it's often esier to edit locally - maybe that can be fixed as we go along with new toc etc |
| 15:42 |
|
davidnind |
there isn't an easy way to keep your fork up-to-date now, as mirroring is now a paid feature |
| 15:42 |
|
cait1 |
davidnind: about your earlier topic: i think there is tons of screenshots to do... if this is something you could teach me and it makes sense, I'd be happy to help |
| 15:42 |
|
cait1 |
i just have no idea about Cypress etc right now |
| 15:42 |
|
ashimema |
tl:dr I think we should stop encouraging use of gitlab editors and start advocating local more using nicer clear tools instead |
| 15:42 |
|
davidnind |
so basically, you would have to fork each time, if you didn't want to set things up locally |
| 15:42 |
|
ashimema |
indeed |
| 15:42 |
|
caroline |
I think ashimema and I managed to get our mirrors going no? |
| 15:43 |
|
ashimema |
vscode has some nice options for rst too |
| 15:43 |
|
ashimema |
it's something you can still do if you forked before they changed their policies caroline.. but I don't know how long that will last |
| 15:43 |
|
aude_c |
erm... what do you mean by setting things up locally? |
| 15:43 |
|
caroline |
ok, ok... I have my setup made so that I don't need it |
| 15:44 |
|
ashimema |
editing a copy of the manual on your own PC aude_c |
| 15:44 |
|
aude_c |
does that mean Martin will have to spend some time with Lucy and I again to sort us out? :D |
| 15:44 |
|
ashimema |
and then posting the change up |
| 15:44 |
|
cait1 |
then you can use your favourite editor basically |
| 15:44 |
|
ashimema |
instead of trying to use the gitlab editor.. |
| 15:44 |
|
aude_c |
ok |
| 15:44 |
|
caroline |
aude_c, https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]sitory_and_editor |

I find the gitlab editor changes too quickly and is rather difficult to use |
| 15:44 |
|
cait1 |
ashimema: I am sure ashimema would be happy to spend time with you ;) |
| 15:45 |
|
ashimema |
yup |
| 15:45 |
|
caroline |
But yeah, if ashimema could set you up, after that it's a couple of simple commands |
| 15:45 |
|
davidnind |
I have experimented with using "GitPod" - basically gives you VSCode in the browser (don't have to install anything locally), you still have to use git though... (and is not quite open source - you get 50 free hours of editing) |
| 15:45 |
|

is actually going to get the new dev team here to start contributing too.. |

I added 'dashboard' to the agenda very late.. you may have missed it.. |

I'll have a go at updating/finishing the Git guide - may need some help from the Git Gurus though |

#info Martin added Documentation leaderboard to https://dashboard.koha-community.org/ |
| 15:49 |
|
ashimema |
but it's a start.. hopefully it'll encourage a bit of gamification of manual editing |
| 15:50 |
|
cait1 |
it also helps make people's work visible, love it |
| 15:50 |
|
ashimema |
it rewards even just going through the 'Needs documentation' queue and triaging.. i.e. deciding it doesn't need a change so marking as RESOLVED |
| 15:50 |
|
ashimema |
if you want to appear, when you do a docs thing, remember to update the bugzilla status to show it's been submitted 🙂 |
| 15:51 |

happy to accept any idea's on how to improve that process.. reduce the pain in any way |

that's all i had to say |

#topic Content development guidelines |
| 15:53 |
|
caroline |
davidnind, Any interest in being able to use Markdown to make it easier to contribute (for new sections anyway) - have been experimenting locally using the MyST parser |
| 15:54 |
|
cait1 |
how would that work? would we need to make changes to the build process? |
| 15:54 |
|
cait1 |
also translations scripts etc.? |
| 15:54 |
|
ashimema |
honestly.. I love markdown.. but I don't think it's different enough to rst to really warrant it.. |
| 15:54 |
|
cait1 |
hm it's a point |
| 15:55 |
|
cait1 |
i think markdown is also more a thnk devs know already, but others might still have to learn |
| 15:55 |
|
davidnind |
it basically lets you use Markdown (with some constraints) for new pages - basically a package like the theme - was really simple to setup |
| 15:55 |
|
ashimema |
personally I'd stick with rst and instead of trying to introduce markdown, focus on what editors can do to help people.. |
| 15:55 |
|
ashimema |
like using google docs and then running it through a script to convert to RST.. |
| 15:55 |
|
ashimema |
or using a more wysiwyg editor for rsy in vscode. |
| 15:56 |
|
* ashimema |
has been experimenting a little with vscode plugins and they do make the process a little simpler.. not quite WYSIWYG yet.. but closer |
| 15:57 |
|
cait1 |
It woudl be nice, but wonder if it coudl also be confusing to someone |
| 15:57 |
|
ashimema |
google docs is by far the easiest for end users.. but the little fixes required after using pandoc to convert it to rst are vaguely erksome.. but not terrible |
| 15:57 |
|
cait1 |
you'd have to learn 2 syntax depending on what you want to edit |
| 15:57 |
|
ashimema |
cait1++ |
| 15:57 |
|
davidnind |
I personally think it is easier using markdown than rst, headings are a lot easer - but apart from links/references pretty much similar |
| 15:57 |
|
ashimema |
that's my thoughts too |
| 15:58 |
|
cait1 |
but if we want to do it, i'd love a test run with the tarnslation tools done first |
| 15:58 |
|
cait1 |
because they can be finicky too |
| 15:58 |
|
cait |
woudl be switching the whole manual be an option? |
| 15:58 |
|
cait |
are there rst features that don't transport to markdown? |
| 15:59 |
|
davidnind |
hadn't thought of that for translation - happy to see what is required |
| 15:59 |
|
cait |
like... creating our labels or so? I don't really know, just wondering what we should check on for a switch |
| 16:00 |
|
caroline |
What is the + of a switch? Is it just the headers? |
| 16:00 |
|
davidnind |
I've had a couple of goes at converting using command line tools - seemed pretty straight forward |
| 16:01 |
|
luvyvh |
I find rst fine for the small edits I usually do |
| 16:02 |
|
davidnind |
I just think it is a bit more straight forward, one less thing to learn - headers, paragraphs, links/refers/images/notes/warnings etc |
| 16:03 |
|
davidnind |
Happy to leave for the moment if you are okay with rst |
| 16:03 |
|
cait |
I think using both in parallel... might not be ideal, but I'd be open for switching to markdown for the whole manual |
| 16:03 |
|
caroline |
Do we have a consensus that rst is not that bad and a switch would require a lot of tweaks? |
| 16:04 |
|
davidnind |
I'll do some more work - and share a copy - no real tweaks required 🙂 |
| 16:04 |
|
caroline |
We are already overboard on time, but I think since this is the first meeting in a while, it's ok to go over? |
| 16:04 |
|
cait |
ok for me |
| 16:04 |
|
davidnind |
I'm OK |
| 16:04 |
|
* ashimema |
will be around a little longer too |
| 16:04 |
|
luvyvh |
I can stay for another 10 mins |
| 16:05 |
|
caroline |
ok, so is there a decision about markdown? |
| 16:05 |
|
cait |
maybe revisit? |
| 16:06 |
|
davidnind |
Happy to revisit once I've done some more work, but consensus seems to be to stay with rst |
| 16:06 |
|
caroline |
#action davidnind to check scripts and translations tweaks for a switch to markdown and report back |
| 16:07 |
|
caroline |
is that ok? |

Next is Translation issues for system preferences - Bug 29063 cait? |
| 16:07 |
|
huginn |
Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=29063 major, P5 - low, ---, david, ASSIGNED , [DOCS] Manual: Translation issue with repeated strings in system preferences |
| 16:07 |
|
cait |
Right, maybe this is a Gemran issue |
| 16:07 |
|
cait |
So we have something like: Asks: ___ cash registers with the accounting system to track payments. |
| 16:08 |
|
cait |
with ___ being Don't use, Use |
| 16:08 |
|
cait |
I can't change where the ___ goes in Koha, so I often don't do a literal translation of use/don't use |
| 16:08 |
|
cait |
to make the grammar work |
| 16:08 |
|
cait |
that's means... my Don't use/Use translate to a lot of different things |
| 16:09 |
|
cait |
but... in the manual translations, they only show up one time for all preferences... |
| 16:09 |
|
cait |
so I am stuck |
| 16:09 |
|
cait |
which is the main reason we haven't finished the manual translation to German yet |
| 16:09 |
|
cait |
it just doesn't work for the preferences |
| 16:09 |
|
caroline |
Hm... it's a bit tricky |
| 16:09 |
|
cait |
are we stuck on how we format those? |
| 16:09 |
|
cait |
I mean... could we imagie doing something like... |
| 16:10 |
|
cait |
[Use|Don't Use] cash registers with the accounting system to track payments. Default: Use or so? |
| 16:10 |
|
cait |
instead of the multi-line thing? |
| 16:10 |
|
caroline |
mkay, what about those with more options thatn two? |
| 16:10 |
|
cait |
good question |
| 16:11 |
|
caroline |
like opac|staff interface|staff interface and opac|none |
| 16:11 |
|
cait |
I am happy to rewrite to whatever... but I need the strings to differentiate more |
| 16:11 |
|
cait |
and hoped you'd have ideas... |
| 16:11 |
|
cait |
for Koha the po files are built in a way that allows it, but the manual doesn't reflect that |
| 16:12 |
|
cait |
the pref strigs for one pref are all separate, even same strings are not mixed together |
| 16:12 |
|
cait |
because I believe not only German had that issue... |
| 16:12 |
|
caroline |
I understand the problem, I'm just not sure how to go about solving it |
| 16:12 |
|
aude_c |
no, I can imagine it happening in many languages |
| 16:13 |
|
cait |
is there a way to add context maybe? |
| 16:13 |
|
cait |
like we started to do in koha? |
| 16:13 |
|
caroline |
We could ask julian maybe? |
| 16:13 |
|
caroline |
I think he was the one who did the context in Koha |
| 16:13 |
|
cait |
it might be tied to TT |
| 16:14 |
|
cait |
as said, I'd be happy to take on the task to update the manual for all the prefs - but I need some help figuring out a solution |
| 16:14 |
|
caroline |
#info The problem in bug 29063 is that while in Koha strings for each syspref are separate and can be translated differently, in the manual, they are all bunched together |
| 16:14 |
|
huginn |
Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=29063 major, P5 - low, ---, david, ASSIGNED , [DOCS] Manual: Translation issue with repeated strings in system preferences |
| 16:14 |
|
davidnind |
so we need to indicate that the option values should be translated individually, so they can be done in context? |
| 16:15 |
|
cait |
if we want to keep the current format I think so |
| 16:15 |
|
cait |
#link https://koha-community.org/man[…]spreferences.html for an example |
| 16:15 |
|
cait |
every line goes in po, lines that are exactly the same, can only be tranlstaed ones |
| 16:15 |
|
cait |
once |
| 16:16 |
|
cait |
Example: CheckPrevCheckout - Do, Do not ... |
| 16:16 |
|
cait |
a Do without context... is hard, can be mulitple things really |
| 16:17 |
|
cait |
the context also need to be visible in the po of course... so you see which pref you are trnslating it for |
| 16:17 |
|
caroline |
#info current options 1) write the system preference descriptions as "[Use|Don't use] blah blah" 2) somehow add context to the strings like we do in Koha 3) somehow change how the strings are extracted so that each syspref is extracted individually like in Koha |
| 16:17 |
|
caroline |
does that summarized it? |
| 16:17 |
|
cait |
yep |
| 16:17 |
|
cait |
nicely |
| 16:17 |
|
cait |
as said, happy to volunteer for the foot work... but need help :) |
| 16:18 |

We can do 1) on our own, but we need dev for 2 and 3 |

Branching was my topic |
| 16:20 |
|
caroline |
I know we have this debate every cycle |
| 16:20 |
|
cait |
heh |
| 16:20 |
|
caroline |
Do we branch right away at the same time as Koha, even if the manual doesn't reflect that version of Koha, or do we wait later? |
| 16:21 |
|
cait |
wodners if the manual link still works without branching |
| 16:21 |
|
cait |
I'll quickly check in oe of the demos |
| 16:21 |
|
caroline |
I said before that we don't have the (wo)manpower to cherry-pick everything like they do in Koha |
| 16:22 |
|
caroline |
So branching early would mean that the manual for that version would not reflect 100% the functionalities in Koha, this is already the case however since we are so behind |
| 16:22 |
|
cait |
22.11 links to the manual nicely it looks like: https://koha-community.org/manual//22.11/en/html/ works |
| 16:22 |
|
caroline |
wasn't it for translations that you wanted to branch? |
| 16:23 |
|
davidnind |
There are about 90 odd bugs in the needs documenting queue, so I would suggest leaving for a little |
| 16:23 |
|
cait |
hm yes, that's a thing |
| 16:23 |
|
cait |
there are no translated manuals before branching |
| 16:23 |
|
davidnind |
My focus for the next little while will be working through these |
| 16:23 |
|
cait |
bit, this appears to still work at least: https://koha-community.org/man[…]html/serials.html |
| 16:24 |
|
caroline |
pros of branching early: access to translations |
| 16:24 |
|
caroline |
pros of branching late: more functions are documented |
| 16:24 |
|
davidnind |
I'm still confused about how things should happen https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]lating_the_manual |
| 16:24 |
|
caroline |
cons of branching early: little chance of every functionality being cherry-picked for each version |
| 16:25 |
|
cait |
we also need to push po files to the repo again - those you see above should have been mostly translated actually :( |
| 16:25 |
|
cait |
looking at the wiki link davidnind posted: |
| 16:25 |
|
cait |
4. Translation files and preview versions of manual updated each night > this is no longer happening |
| 16:26 |
|
cait |
the latest versions have no nightly preview - the last is 21.05 https://translate.koha-community.org/manual/ |
| 16:26 |
|
cait |
so at the moment... if people translate, there is nowhere they can see their translations |
| 16:26 |
|
cait |
and the website manuals are terribly out of date - not reflecting the work doen at all |
| 16:26 |

when you say the website manuals are out of date, you mean on translations or on actual content? |

translations is another endpoing IMO |
| 16:28 |
|
caroline |
ok |
| 16:28 |
|
cait |
they are build from the manual repo, so the contents are correct |
| 16:28 |
|
cait |
but we don't transfer the translation work into the manual repo |
| 16:28 |
|
caroline |
#action add manual translations on agenda for next meeting |
| 16:30 |
|
caroline |
still no decision on branching though... we can do like this meeting and start fresh for this cycle with a new branch and try to stay up-to-date? |
| 16:30 |
|
cait |
maybe a month would be ok |
| 16:30 |
|
cait |
but if there is not much action on catching up on features, better to branch maybe |
| 16:30 |
|
caroline |
I can try to cherry-pick if it's clear in the merge message, but I can't guarantee I will always do it, especially if there are a lot and/or conflicts |
| 16:31 |
|
cait |
that's fair |
| 16:31 |
|
davidnind |
I'll make a concerted effort to get the needs documenting queue down from 90 - all of these relate to 22.11 |
| 16:31 |
|
caroline |
Ok maybe we can branch in January? |
| 16:32 |
|
caroline |
There isn't anything being pushed in Koha for 23.05 now anyway |
| 16:32 |
|
davidnind |
OK with me, if everyone else is OK with that? |

Is this a good day? friday? |
| 16:37 |
|
cait |
friday is not ideal at this time |
| 16:37 |
|
cait |
at least here people often leave early |
| 16:38 |
|
caroline |
I don't see the dev and general meetings in the agenda, what day are they on? |
| 16:38 |
|
cait |
wednesdays usually |
| 16:38 |
|
caroline |
just to avoid conflict and meeting-itis |
| 16:38 |
|
davidnind |
I think it was "Friday" because I made a mistake..., so maybe the Thursday? |

| 16:39 |
|
caroline |
and NZ, I guess this is the middle of the night? |
| 16:40 |
|
cait |
4pm works for me - I think anything arlier is too hard to nz (even this is bad) |
| 16:40 |
|
cait |
4 am for davidnind i think? |
| 16:40 |
|
davidnind |
I'm happy to get up early once every month, so not na issue for me |
| 16:40 |
|
davidnind |
it is |
| 16:40 |
|
caroline |
ok sorry about that davidnind! :( You are way more dedicated than I am |
| 16:41 |
|
davidnind |
as long as the time works for you all, I'm OK |
| 16:41 |
|
cait |
might need to see how things change with daylight savings again, but we should be good for a while now then |

|
cait |
tcohen maybe, but the script appears broken still |
| 16:46 |
|
cait |
the general irc on the wiki hasn't linked / no new page was created |

Didn't think the meeting would go so much over... Still 0-0 Brazil-Croatia at 1 minute before the end! |
| 16:48 |
|
davidnind |
I don't think it is working properly yet - last time I ran it I basically had to do manually |
| 16:48 |
|
cait |
heh |
| 16:48 |
|
caroline |
Hopefully all the dramam is still top come |
| 16:48 |

Curious if anyone can recreate this: https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=32442 |
| 18:17 |
|
huginn |
Bug 32442: normal, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Invalid Template Toolkit in notices can cause errors |
| 18:18 |
|
cait[m] |
I have seen explosions, but not on the start page - which notice did you edit? |
| 18:19 |
|
lukeg |
cait[m]: I was testing something else in AUTO_RENEWALS_DGST when this happened to me |
| 18:19 |
|
lukeg |
but I can recreate by using any notice |
| 18:19 |
|
lukeg |
just have to start with some TT that is invalid |
| 18:19 |
|
cait[m] |
maybe it depends on the type of error |
| 18:20 |
|
cait[m] |
or type of TT mistake you make |
