02:51 TSU99999 considering Koha installed from source on openSUSE which is a non-Debian distro. Can'find documentation in websites or even in thee source. Anyone know if koha can be installed from source?

16:49 TSU99999 Ping. Reposting my question from yesterday, Can Koha be installed from source? Oddly, I cannot find any documentation or even an install section in the source posted in the Github mirror (believe main source repo is Gitlab). Short of that, is there an install script that can be inspected? Need to know if there are any special Debian dependencies or if the source is fairly generic. TIA
16:56 ashimema I know I used to install it from source, and know others who did so on suse
16:57 ashimema So it is possible. But not so well tested these days as we're pretty much targeting Debian or debian based only
16:58 ashimema Perl dependencies are all available from cpan
16:58 ashimema The hardest dependency to resolve be zebra, but you can use Elastic search in it's place anyway
16:59 ashimema https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]_on_openSUSE_11.3
17:00 ashimema It's old, but I imagine a fair bit of that is still valid
17:00 ashimema TSU99999: see above
17:00 * ashimema goes back to his weekend now

18:39 JasonGreene[m] I couldn't find it...looking for some offline install instructions for koha. anyone have a link   install with dpkg not apt  We want to install an older version of Koha
20:36 JasonGreene[m] is anyone using  Koha version:23.11.02.000
20:38 JasonGreene[m] I've been trying to import books and it never works... now I'm trying to import patrons and it doesn't work..
20:46 JasonGreene[m] I downloaded the file koha provides and pasted the patrons and it gives this error message... (full message at <https://matrix.org/_matrix/med[…]yBBoLEGszOYTkphJA>)
20:47 JasonGreene[m] With a smile on my face, I'm thinking that version 23.11.02.000 works on nothing but a web site.
21:16 JasonGreene[m] Never mind... I'm the dumb ars... the  "categorycode" was supposed to be 1 or 2 letters.... I had words.
23:03 TSU99999 Thx Ashimema for your comments about installing from source. I did find very old references but typcaly consider anything older than abou 3 years or that many versions suspicious. If it's your impression that the Koha modules are built more or less the same way for the past 10 years or so and updated only as necessary for things like security patches but haven't added or modified basic functionality, that's probably enough info for me to
23:20 JasonGreene[m] ok... just can't understand why I can't input book data using MarcEdit. Have followed online instructions and nothing will get into the system.
23:21 JasonGreene[m] I was able to input patrons... just not books
23:24 JasonGreene[m] I'm willing to let anyone TeamViewer into my system to see what I'm seeing and show the mess ups
