You need to add barcodes. 11:51 lostalien but our client have not provided it to us...accession number will do 11:52 anasha lostalien: 11:52 anasha greenmang0: 11:52 SelfishMan lostalien: Then insert the accession number in 952p 11:53 lostalien okk 11:55 Amit hi nahuel 11:57 lostalien SelfishMan: thank you ... i will let u know if i find some error... 12:07 greenmang0 anasha: 12:07 anasha greemang0, yup 12:07 greenmang0 anasha: PM? 12:59 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: around ? 13:07 hdl_laptop hi owen 13:11 lostalien SelfishMan: what is marc tag for library branch? 13:13 lostalien can anyone tell me marc tag for library branch? 13:15 SelfishMan lostalien: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:documentation:marc21holdings_holdings_data_information_for_vendors&s=952 13:16 lostalien thanks bro. 13:20 lostalien SelfishMan: i have inserted the accession number in 952p as you said but i am getting error regarding branch . 13:21 lostalien SelfishMan: i think, i need to add branch column in excel sheet.. 13:31 kf you need to configure it in database 13:32 kf configure libraries in koha, add two columns, one for holding branch, one for homebranch 952$a and $b with library code 14:36 owen Hey danny, you there? 14:37 danny hey owen, yes I am 14:37 owen I'm thinking about 13-digit isbns and Amazon content 14:37 owen I see you submitted a change a few months ago that dealt with that 14:38 owen That didn't touch the issue of book cover images, correct? 14:39 danny right, that is correct, I had planned to submit a follow-up patch to deal with cover images 14:39 danny if we can have it grab the image from the amazon xml then it will also pull much more cover art from amazon 14:39 owen ...because it will use EAN, etc. ? 14:40 danny well it can match based on different identifiers, such as EAN or UPC 14:40 danny right 14:42 owen Wouldn't that be too slow if you wanted to pull covers for search results? 14:44 danny I had some concerns about that 14:44 danny since you are hitting amazon for each result 14:46 danny currently with the images you are hitting amazon once to load the image from them, but if we pull it from the XML it will be hitting amazon twice, once to get the image url and a second time to load the image 14:47 danny I wanted to test it though because I am curious to see how much it increases the load time 14:49 owen I'll be happy to see better results for cover images. I know our patrons would like to see DVD covers. 14:49 owen And we're starting to see records with only the 13-digit ISBN, so getting to see those covers will be good too 14:50 danny I agree 14:54 owen Hi jwagner 14:56 danny liblime recently submitted a bunch of patches dealing with amazon content, so I was going to wait a bit till those got pushed before making more changes 14:56 SelfishMan Has anyone considered using openlibrary.org instead of amazon? 14:57 atz yeah, there are a dozen or more sources considered 14:57 atz i think we need to totally rework the system for jacket images at least... 14:57 SelfishMan For the most part it handles 10 and 13 digit ISBNs very well and seems to have a better jacket selection than Amazon and google combined 14:57 atz before we try to bolt-on more of the same (large) template conditionals 14:57 SelfishMan Plus no query limits or license ambiguities 14:58 SelfishMan I've been looking at trying to make the outside content modular so people can use their own custom modules. In the end that is probably a better solution. 14:58 atz SelfishMan: openlibrary performance may not be as good though 14:59 SelfishMan atz: One of the perks of openlibrary is the fact that all the data is available for download so it can be cached locally 15:00 atz interesting point 15:01 SelfishMan I'm actually in the process of extracting the jackets from the warc files 15:12 jwagner Hi owen -- sorry, was working on another screen. 15:13 owen that's okay, one expects as much on IRC 15:13 jwagner Multitasking is a need-cessity these days.... 17:02 imp http://pastebin.ca/1362386 17:31 imp is it possible to switch later from a zebra-free installation to zebra? 17:33 ryan_ imp: yes, it should be ok to do this, however, I wouldn't bother with NoZebra unless you have < 5k records. 17:38 imp ryan_: ok, thanks 22:15 imp fyi: filled some gentoo tickets with koha deps -> #262712 #262715 #262717 #262718 #262721 #262723 #262726 #262728 #262729 #262732 #262735 22:25 imp and konqueror somehow manages to nearly DOS the system... load is about 20 only if the main page is requested 22:26 imp might be due the fact my server started swapping because of ~10 processes of intranet/cgi-bin/errors/404.pl.... 22:26 imp but with firefox the setup doesn't behave like this 00:07 ron chris: I got a response back re the deb packaging of koha 00:07 chris sweet yeah i saw a couple of emails 00:08 chris and i see vincent has updated the wiki 00:08 ron ok 00:08 ron the response wasn't so good though 00:08 chris http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=debian_packaging_work 00:08 ron at least, he's not willing to take this on 00:08 chris what did he say? 00:11 ron chris: got it? 00:11 chris yep 00:11 ron what's your thoughts? is this still a goer, or will we have trouble with the patches? 00:12 chris its still a goer 00:12 chris basically he is jsut saying he doesnt know what a pile of scripts do 00:12 chris so he needs the developers to tell him 00:13 ron ok 00:13 ron but he doesn't want to be responsible for the deb 00:13 ron howdy twb 00:13 twb Hi. 00:13 ron chris: so who would be responsible? 00:13 chris no he doenst want to be paid to be responsible 00:13 ron oh. heh 00:13 chris I do not really wish to be fund for this work. I do not have a lot of 00:13 ron I still want to feed some funds to the community 00:13 chris free time, so I do not want to promise some work with a deadline. However, I'm still interested in having a Koha packaging for Debian. 00:13 twb ron: Vincent is essentially no longer the (prospective) maintainer; MJ is. 00:14 ron twb: ahh... ok. thx 00:14 chris MJ might be just the man you are after 00:14 chris since he knows debian and koha 00:14 twb However I think MJ and I can leverage Vincent's incomplete work. 00:14 chris *nod* 00:14 ron I've emailed MJ. He was passing the email onto others, but no other response as yet 00:14 chris basically if we answer the questions 00:14 chris on the wiki 00:14 chris the packages can be finished 00:15 twb chris: OK, and who do we nag about that? 00:15 ron twb: is it viable to install the tarball in the meantime, then replace it later with a 'proper' deb? 00:15 twb ron: for the ACT facility, yes -- though I recommend doing that inside an OpenVZ jail. 00:16 chris if you can find someone to pay to document those scripts, then them ... otherwise just bring up that wiki page on the koha-devel list and hope someone has time/desire to do it 00:17 ron twb: do you want to take this on? 00:17 ron never mind. you've got other projects. ;-) 00:17 twb ron: which part, the documentation of existing scripts and other parts mentioned on the wiki page? 00:17 ron I haven't read the wiki 00:18 twb ron: one moment, I will find the URL 00:18 twb The last posts on http://bugs.debian.org/389876 explain how far Vincent got, and the roadblocks he ran into. 00:19 twb The wiki page is http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=debian_packaging_work 00:20 twb ron: I can do packaging work, and I can do a tarball deployment in OpenVZ at ACT, but I don't think I'm the right person to be working on koha itself -- after all, I have not used koha before. 00:21 ron yep, understood 02:28 atz awesome 02:37 ron what's awesome? 02:37 twb ron: a window manager. 02:37 ron s/window/sales/ 02:39 twb ron: er, no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awesome_(window_manager) 02:40 ron meh... 03:01 chris awesome rules 03:01 twb I'll stick to ratpoison and xmonad, thanks. 03:25 Amit hi chris, mason 03:25 Amit good morning koha 03:51 mason namaste amit 04:23 brendan hey amit, chris, mason, all others around! 04:28 Amit hi brendan 04:28 Amit namaste mason 04:29 mason heya amit / brendan 04:29 Amit thanks for mail 04:31 mason no problem, i hope it was helpful 04:32 Amit yes
