22:14 brendan       @wunder 93117
22:12 schuster      bye
21:52 Ropuch        chris: bah, I totally forgot about  lib-web-cats
21:50 ricardo       OK. Off I go. Bye people!
21:50 ricardo       chris: Thank you, as well
21:50 ricardo       hdl: Cool. Thank you very much!  :)
21:50 hdl           ricardo: I can
21:50 ricardo       OK. I'm leaving to home now. Take care everyone!  :)
21:46 chris         there are 43 pages of them :)
21:46 chris         and it will find all the koha - independent, koha - liblime, koha - ptfs etc
21:45 chris         just type koha in the current automatiion system (dont choose any of the options just type koha)
21:45 chris         http://www.librarytechnology.org/lwc-search-advanced.pl
21:44 chris         another list is at libwebcats lemme get it for ya
21:44 chris         Ropuch: its one list of users
21:43 chris         yeah, i meant to email you hdl, can we leave the pt-BR .po file out of the 3.0.5 release
21:43 ricardo       hdl: Talking about weirdness, there's some weirdness related to "C4::Language" that affects the Portuguese pt-PT translation (mistakingly uses the very incomplete - specially for staff - pt-BR one). I talked with Chris about that and he suggested to remove the pt-BR translation, while he doesn't get around to "refactor" C4:Language. Right chris?
21:42 Ropuch        ?
21:42 Ropuch        http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohausers - is this a most comprehensive list of Koha users/
21:39 sekjal        time to head to the train.  cheers, #koha
21:37 ricardo       hdl: That's (very) fine by me.
21:36 hdl           So I think it will have to wait next week
21:36 ricardo       hdl: That's great! (please don't take this the wrong way, eheh)
21:36 hdl           But some weirdness in french po and my work kept me out of this.
21:36 ricardo       hdl:Hmmm... And do you still think that?
21:35 hdl           ricardo: I thought I should release this week.
21:35 ricardo       hdl: Cool. Thanks for the info  :)
21:34 hdl           hi ricardo
21:34 hdl           ricardo I think so
21:33 ricardo       Ropuch: That's cool. Good luck for your speech!  :)
21:32 ricardo       hdl: I'm around line 43000 in the Portuguese PO file. I think that I will have this wrapped up in a day or two. Would that be still on time for 3.0.5?
21:32 chris         cool
21:32 Ropuch        I don't feel like translating staff today, I'm preparing speech on Koha for open source conference ;>
21:32 chris         yeah i just added sindhi the other day
21:31 ricardo       hdl: Hi Henri!  :)
21:31 chris         hehe
21:31 ricardo       Ropuch: Don't talk about languages, please. OK? I'm in "turbo mode" translating the Portuguese PO file for staff! ;-)
21:30 Ropuch        Nice
21:30 Ropuch        I've counted 75 languages on translate.koha.org
21:28 hdl           quite a huge discovery in linguistics
21:26 pianohacker   bbl
21:24 chris         :)
21:24 hdl           trinitary roots
21:23 hdl           python, java ruby, javascript, fortran, ada, Haskell
21:23 pianohacker   interesting to see unexpected connections between languages (like similar vowel pronunciation of spanish and japanese)
21:23 pianohacker   linguistics is fun
21:21 Ropuch        Yeah
21:20 chris         it is a great skill to have ;)
21:20 chris         some people have natural ability
21:19 Ropuch        And he speaks good - I'm more than impressed
21:19 Ropuch        We have a treinee from Germany at work: besides german he speaks french, little italian & spanish, english and after just one year of learning he's actually speaking polish
21:17 chris         im the only one in my family that only speaks 2 languages hehe
21:17 chris         my sister majored in chinese, and did a year doing her masters at shanghai university
21:16 chris         (oh and english)
21:15 chris         majored in russian at university, speaks italian, russian, german, and maori
21:15 sekjal        chris: very cool
21:15 chris         he is a licensed translator and interpreter
21:15 sekjal        that semester was a headtrip
21:15 chris         sekjal: you must talk with my dad then
21:15 sekjal        I took a semester in college, same semester as my first programming course, and my advanced algebra
21:14 sekjal        chris, Ropuch:  this is great.  I find linguisitics fascinating
21:14 Ropuch        yes
21:14 sekjal        Ropuch: ah, so the verb gender connects to the pronoun/noun gender
21:14 Ropuch        owen: yep
21:13 Ropuch        But there's not a hard rule for it
21:13 * owen        remembers the same from his Czech lessons
21:13 Ropuch        He went, She went, it went
21:13 Ropuch        sekjal: it does matter in past forms: On poszed�, Ona posz�a, Ono posz�o
21:12 chris         here endeth the lesson
21:12 chris         also, even though you are dominant over food, you would say toku kai ... because food is so important
21:11 chris         but toku whakaaro, for my thoughts
21:11 chris         is i would say taku he, for my mistake
21:11 chris         one gotcha
21:10 chris         drop the t, for plural
21:10 sekjal        Ropuch: what is the difference between the male and female forms of a verb?  when would I use one over the other?
21:09 chris         (both are singular)
21:09 hdl           reading back logs
21:09 chris         tōku is neutral form
21:09 chris         taku hē = my mistake
21:08 ricardo       Portuguese has genders in its language (as do most "latin" languages, I think - Spanish, Italian, French...)
21:08 Ropuch        As "Gdyby zechcial Pan/Zechcia�a pani"
21:08 chris         tāku for my/mine when the possessor is dominant
21:08 Ropuch        When posting forms we're forced to add male/female versions
21:07 Ropuch        Lucky you
21:07 chris         but we have different possessives
21:07 chris         we dont really have gendered anything
21:07 Ropuch        sekjal: ;>
21:07 hdl           (batch deletes I mean)
21:06 hdl           shuter already done
21:06 ricardo2      Mibbit is not as stable today as it usually is
21:06 chris         koha is a noun or a verb
21:06 ricardo2      (grumble...)
21:05 sekjal        Ropuch: interesting!  ::takes note::
21:05 Ropuch        We have gendered verbs in polish
21:04 chris         no note gendered nouns
21:04 Ropuch        So she's a girl for me ;>
21:03 chris         :)
21:03 sekjal        perhaps this will make it easier for me to pick up Maori by next year
21:03 sekjal        which I always found a source of confusion when I was studying German.
21:02 sekjal        according the collective wisdom that is a naive Google search, Maori generally does not have gendered nouns.
21:01 Ropuch        I guess
21:00 richard       not that i'm aware of but chris will be your best bet there
21:00 Ropuch        Well, as it ends with 'a' I treated her liek a girl ;-)
20:59 Ropuch        I wonder
20:59 sekjal        does Maori have gendered nouns?
20:58 richard       it virtually means "gift" but i'm not sure if that has any male/female connections
20:57 Ropuch        What kind (male/female) of noun is "Koha"? [;
20:57 sekjal        jwagner: will do!
20:57 jwagner       Gotta head home now -- keep me posted & let me know if you want what I've done.
20:57 sekjal        I'd just need to hardcode our SFX root URL, and then have the JS pluck up the ISBN/ISSN from the bibliorecord
20:56 jwagner       I just coded it around the 856u in the XSLT templates.
20:56 jwagner       (I did both ISBN and ISSN for this site at their request)
20:56 sekjal        my original plan was to dump the SFX menu URL into the biblioitems.uri field (MARC21's 856), but rethinking it, that's not strictly necessary
20:56 jwagner       er, ISSN for SFX that is.
20:55 jwagner       I turned on the COINS thing, but that apparently only works if someone has a browser plugin.  This site wanted the link always on for all their users.
20:55 jwagner       Might be at that -- I'm no JS wizard.  I go for the brute force approach :-)
20:55 sekjal        jwagner: that might be neat.  we were thinking some JS overtop might be the least invasive way to do it quickly
20:54 jwagner       Would there be general interest in the work I did to make a link from Koha to SFX?  I hard coded it in the template, but it wouldn't be hard to set it up as a syspref to enter the URL, then wrap it around the ISBN.
20:54 ricardo       sekjal: Gotta love TLAs... Thanks for the info  :)
20:53 sekjal        ricardo: no, we're talking about Ex Libris' OpenURL resolver
20:53 jwagner       About two jobs ago I worked on an install of SFX/Metalib, and Ex Libris was pretty willing to work with us on setting stuff up, and including it in future general releases if appropriate.  They might still be open to that.
20:52 ricardo       sekjal: SFX? We're not talking about "Sound Effects", are we?
20:52 sekjal        jwagner:  yes, we figure it won't be too hard to create an SFX target to connect to Koha; it's missing amongst the ILS Targets already in SFX, and that should not persist
20:50 chris         hehe
20:50 ricardo       chris: I hope that the two creatures lying down had their lunch *before* that pic  ;-)
20:49 jwagner       awwwwww
20:49 ricardo       (one of the good things of being Portuguese is that it's easy to understand *some* Latin, even without having learned it, eheh)
20:48 Ropuch        chris: ;-)
20:48 chris         http://twitpic.com/p9gd4  <-- wellington zoo today
20:48 jwagner       sekjal, re SFX -- I've done a little work with setting Koha to link to SFX, but haven't gone the other way.  Shouldn't be too hard -- just put in the URL prefix and isbn=whatever.
20:47 chris         good work sherlock holmes :)
20:47 Ropuch        chris: yes, he's from Societas Apostolatus Catholici
20:45 owen          (That's what ate my 2000-era email archive)
20:45 owen          outlook_express-- # for long_term_email_storage
20:45 ricardo       pianohacker: Hmm.... I'm not sure I know that nick  ;-)
20:44 pianohacker   long_term_email_storage++
20:44 chris         wow i found an email from him from august 2000
20:42 chris         heh
20:41 ricardo2      chris: There's also another religious "Benedict"... but I think that one works in the Vatican and not in a Monastery  ;-)
20:38 chris         Ropuch: if i remember right Benedykt was from a monastery
20:38 sekjal        trying to document the process by which we're going to connect our SFX Open Linker Resolver to Koha
20:38 Ropuch        I wonder what they are doing nowadays
20:37 chris         so polish guys were very early in the history of koha
20:37 sekjal        sorry, was gliffing
20:37 sekjal        hi, chris and brendan
20:37 Ropuch        I just want to mention them, it's brief history ;>
20:37 chris         uly 12 2001     Pawel Skuza becomes the 2nd committer outside of Katipo, and 6th overall and commits his translation script
20:36 chris         March 6 2002     Paul becomes the 7th committer to Koha
20:36 chris         February 22 2002         Paul Poulain sends an email saying he will work on Koha
20:36 chris         June 24 2001     Pawel Skuza working on a script to automate translations       translation
20:35 chris         June 23 2001     Benedykt P. Barszcz working on translations     translation, community, poland
20:35 Ropuch        Thanks
20:35 chris         http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob;f=docs/history.txt;
20:34 chris         the most accurate one is the history.txt in git
20:34 Ropuch        hehehe
20:34 chris         yeah they beat him
20:33 Ropuch        I will happily mention polish guys, but I want to be acurate [;
20:33 schuster      and teeth!  I feel mine rotting daily!
20:33 pianohacker   halloween candy is a danger to society and waistlines
20:33 Ropuch        chris: I'm just translating some Koha history into polish, on wiki I've read "In 2001, Paul Poulain (of Marseille, France) began adding new features to Koha, most significantly support for multiple languages.", on your blog Benedykt P. Barszcz and Pawel Skuza are meant to "start the translation ball rolling"
20:32 jwagner       schuster -- saw the comment about making jdavidb quit eating donuts.  That's not the problem :-)  But for the past week or so he's been in my office raiding my leftover Halloween candy!
20:31 chris         cool
20:31 schuster      chris et al - granular wasn't turned on so they didn't show... few.
20:31 chris         hiya sekjal
20:30 brendan       hello sekjal
20:23 jdavidb       It's possible I might get a few branches tossed over the wall this weekend, depending on how a couple of things go between now and then.
20:23 schuster      True chris.
20:23 chris         typing fail
20:23 schuster      jwagner - would you go over and make him quit eating donuts...
20:22 chris         schuster: id rather that than the oppositie ;-)
20:22 brendan       good luck jdavidb
20:22 jdavidb       <--the bottleneck.
20:22 schuster      boy chris may have his work cut out for him with 3.4 if all that development drops at the same time.
20:22 brendan       jdavidb any update on a public repo for PTFS
20:22 pianohacker   jdavidb: awesome
20:22 jdavidb       We've been hacking on it some, and as soon as that worthless geek who does that (me) gets his head above water, it'll be out on the street.
20:21 pianohacker   jdavidb (or jwagner when she gets back)?
20:21 schuster      curious what happens with the few granular permissions that I have right now and what will happen when I get updated to 3.2...
20:21 pianohacker   not sure when it will be submitted
20:21 pianohacker   PTFS did some work in that realm also
20:21 chris         lemme find it for ya
20:21 chris         i think biblibre have done some work on it though as well
20:21 chris         lek happened
20:21 schuster      What happened with granular permissions??  I poked and don't see anything on the borrower record.
20:20 * brendan     has had a bunch of coffee this morning :)  throwing lots of karma around
20:20 schuster      karma chris++
20:20 brendan       open development++
20:20 schuster      :)
20:19 owen          :)
20:19 * chris       does all development in the open
20:18 chris         but ill submit the patches up so people can use it, and it will go in to master as soon as 3.2 is branched
20:18 chris         it will miss the cut for 3.2 (we are in feature freeze already)
20:18 chris         yep, for albany senior high school, im rolling it out there in the next week or so
20:18 * brendan     reads back :)
20:17 schuster      chris that is way cool!
20:17 brendan       chris where is this coming from - is this your development
20:17 chris         |  2 |          4 |     108069 |         2 |
20:17 chris         |  1 |          4 |      68692 |         2 |
20:17 chris         +----+------------+------------+-----------+
20:17 chris         | id | biblio_one | biblio_two | hit_count |
20:17 chris         +----+------------+------------+-----------+
20:17 chris         all it stores is this
20:17 chris         and you would have some decent data
20:17 chris         then after running it for a few montsh, you could switch it on in the opac
20:16 brendan       howdy owen
20:16 chris         so if it was run before the circ data was anonymised
20:16 brendan       recommendations++
20:16 brendan       nice nice
20:16 chris         too slow to calculate on the fly
20:16 chris         yep, cron job runs nightly, that updates the recommendations
20:15 owen          Neat. And that's based on circ data?
20:15 chris         schuster: im sure it could
20:15 chris         owen: click the recommendations tab
20:15 chris         http://opac.koha.catalystdemo.net.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=4
20:14 schuster      I wonder if you could use something very similar for batch deletes?
20:14 schuster      That works pretty good.  Thanks for sharing chris.
20:12 ricardo       Hi everyone!  :)
20:11 chris         excuse the slowness, the machine it is on is currently running 38 virtual servers
20:11 chris         http://opac.koha.catalystdemo.net.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=fish  <-- that is kete integration
20:11 chris         prolly cant be used so good with us libraries that anonymise checkouts, not in its current form
20:10 * chris       will pull it up for ya
20:10 owen          Recommendations feature?
20:10 chris         as well as kete integration
20:10 chris         it has my nearly finished recommendations feature
20:09 chris         will get you a copy of it
20:09 chris         git clone git://git.catalyst.net.nz/koha.git
20:09 chris         is what it is running
20:09 chris         http://git.catalyst.net.nz/gw?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master
20:08 chris         check your pm schuster :)
20:06 schuster      do you have a login we can play with?
20:05 chris         works pretty good
20:04 chris         http://librarian.koha.catalystdemo.net.nz/cgi-bin/koha/tools/batchMod.pl
20:00 chris         it might be a little bit different

19:59 chris         i have it running on my catalyst demo, another biblibre one
19:59 chris         yeah it exists
19:59 * brendan     goes to look through bugs
19:58 brendan       I thought I heard word of something
19:58 brendan       does anyone know of a status for a bulk item editor
19:58 chris         of the conference
19:58 chris         looks like it was a good first day
19:58 chris         hehe
19:57 wizzyrea      awww

19:44 chris         but we could watch a game at a sports pub
19:44 chris         nz will be touring the northern hemisphere handing out beatdowns to france, italy, england etc
19:44 wizzyrea      hrmph
19:44 chris         its summer, so rugby will only be on tv
19:43 chris         cricket will def be on
19:42 * wizzyrea    would like to watch rugby, even though sports are not normally her thing.
19:41 brendan       or any rugby?
19:41 brendan       are there going to be any cricket matches in NZ around the time we'll be there for kohacon
19:40 brendan       whoops -- root

19:36 richard       hi brendan
19:36 brendan       good day richard
19:35 richard       hi
18:58 |Lupin|       see you soon all
18:58 |Lupin|       gotta go
18:57 |Lupin|       chris: ok, thanks a lot for the info, very good to know !
18:57 brendan       typed english is failing me at the moment :)
18:56 brendan       errrr... I'll
18:56 brendan       so I've vote for earlier in November
18:55 brendan       I've been watching the quantas deals and it seems that's close to good window for travel.  Anything that gets close to Thanksgiving time here -- the prices shot way up
18:55 chris         ok now i have to catch my bus
18:55 chris         the moment
18:55 chris         jdavidb: check out virgin australia, seems to be cheap at
18:54 chris         but most likely 15,16,17 november 2010
18:54 chris         8,9,10
18:54 chris         so may be the week before
18:54 chris         (wont go later than that, dont want to get to close to thanksgiving in the US)
18:54 chris         should be in a week or so
18:54 chris         then i will confirm
18:53 chris         i have 4 more quotes to receive
18:53 chris         those dates or ones similiar
18:53 chris         15, 16, 17 november
18:53 chris         tentative
18:53 pianohacker   Yes
18:53 chris         jdavidb: i found one 1049 lax->akl retn
18:53 |Lupin|       is there a date that has been decided for the next conf already ?
18:52 pianohacker   you're welcome :)
18:52 |Lupin|       pianohacker: ok jesse, thanks a lot for this both concise and informative response :)
18:51 pianohacker   |Lupin|: on search results it comes from the holding tags in the MARC, on detail pages it comes from the items table; and yes
18:50 schuster      Funny my mibbit has deals to NZ starting at $798! quantas and Air NZ
18:49 |Lupin|       are you guys taling about the prices of planes to NZ because of the conference ?
18:49 |Lupin|       does anyone know how the number of items displayed in OPAC result pages is computed ? I assume it's from the number of rows in the items table with the same biblionumber... ?
18:48 jdavidb       $2300 from the DC area, right now, round-trip.  Lordy.
18:48 schuster      Yep.
18:43 * jdavidb     can't type today.  Auckland, of course.
18:43 jdavidb       LAX and Aukland, for the stops, schuster?
18:42 schuster      hmmm  $1400USD right now from DFW to Wellington 2 stops - not bad.
18:30 chris         bbiab
18:19 chris         so booking a flight all the way through, doesnt save you much, unless it is cheaper :)
18:19 chris         so getting to auckland for cheap is the best bet :) you do have to pick up your luggage and clear customs there anyway
18:18 chris         there are tons and tons of akl->wlg flights
18:16 jwagner       I've driven in England -- guess I can remember the trick of it.  But I hope the roads are a bit wider than some of the English country roads.
18:15 jdavidb       :)  I can do that.
18:15 chris         just keep left :-)
18:15 chris         its a nice drive
18:15 chris         *nod*
18:15 jdavidb       No biggie, then, for those of us used to that.  I'd rather take a night, and make a mini vacation out of it.
18:15 chris         or 55 mins in a plane :)
18:14 chris         if you dont stop
18:14 chris         jdavidb: its about 10 hours in a car
18:14 chris         be warned that will add a few hours to your trip (going thru sydney)
18:14 jwagner       Yeah, travel is generally painful.  But going to New Zealand might be worth it.
18:14 * jdavidb     debates the fun of arriving in Auckland and *driving* to Wellington.
18:13 chris         *nod*
18:13 jwagner       I did some checks for flights and some were connecting through Sydney to Wellington
18:13 chris         jwagner: ahh yeah, that would be bad
18:13 chris         or there are direct flights australia to wellington
18:13 chris         auckland, and christchurch are the 2 major international airports
18:12 chris         three maybe
18:12 chris         yep you really only have 2 options
18:12 schuster      Might be good to put that info on the wiki too.
18:12 schuster      At one point you recommended a particular airport etc...  I was looking the other day and Aukland was a major airport with a transfer to Wellington I believe...  Comments?
18:12 jwagner       the problem is that I have arthritis rather badly (and also need a knee replacement) -- I have real trouble sitting in an airplane seat for that long, even with getting up and moving around occasionally.
18:11 chris         just get an aisle seat so you can walk around is my tip
18:11 chris         so im used to it
18:11 chris         the flight is really not that bad anymore, now you have the seatback entertainment its much better, course i have done that flight about 30 times now
18:08 jwagner       Dreams are SO much nicer than reality....
18:08 chris         yup
18:08 chris_n       chris: can you free my email from the list jail please :-)
18:07 chris_n       jwagner: lol
18:06 chris         hehe
18:06 jwagner       chris, I had a dream the other night that I was on the plane for Kohacon in NZ, first class seat, big smile on my face, looking forward to the trip despite the long flight. The bell dinged for the pilot to say you could move around the cabin now, except horrid reality intruded and it was my alarm clock instead :-(
18:05 chris         i hope to hear back from more venues soon, would love to confirm dates and venue
18:04 chris         http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohacon2010wellington#travel_tips
18:04 chris         and adding travel tips
17:56 chris         20/20
17:55 brendan       test match
17:54 * chris       is watching nz vs pakistan in cricket
17:42 brendan       of course
17:42 schuster      That's who I have emailed so am waiting to hear from her.  Thanks for your time.
17:41 brendan       there
17:41 brendan       Yes Stephanie Chase was their
17:41 schuster      brendan - ok thanks - this was in regards to KUDOS in the US and someone that was at ALA annual.  I think it was the director from stowe
17:41 brendan       he was at kohacon
17:40 brendan       is Richard Pritsky
17:40 brendan       schuster the best person to talk with at vokal
17:40 chris         git makes that easy
17:40 schuster      aq/qa sorry.
17:40 chris         own systems in sync
17:40 schuster      So will the aq and wrangler have their own systems that are "in sync" with the RM? theoretically or will they all be working off the same system?
17:40 chris         which will allow them more time to do other things, and should hope in faster turnaround on patches
17:39 chris         that takes 2 jobs off the RM
17:39 chris         that's why it is in fantastic that for 3.4 we are going to have a bug wrangler and a qa manager
17:39 schuster      I would suspect that is the hardest thing to determine are the side effects.
17:39 chris         the main thing is testing for unintended side effects
17:38 brendan       cool will go read in the Logs
17:38 chris         unless it is a one or 2 line template change
17:38 schuster      brendan yes.
17:38 brendan       was it on IRC
17:38 chris         schuster: always more than you think
17:38 brendan       sweet
17:38 schuster      hi brendan...  I was looking for you earlier, but got my answer.
17:38 pianohacker   schuster: varies
17:38 chris         craploads
17:37 schuster      So again Librarian here...  how much time on the release managers part does it take to "applies and tests" just one patch and say it is a simple thing nothing elaborate like HOLDS redo or anything.
17:37 pianohacker   hi brendan
17:37 munin         brendan: The current temperature in Northwest Goleta, Goleta, California is 15.7�C (9:36 AM PST on November 12, 2009). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 85%. Dew Point: 13.0�C. Pressure: 29.84 in 1010.4 hPa (Rising).
17:37 brendan       @wunder 93117
17:37 brendan       morning schuster, pianohacker, chris, and everyone else
17:36 chris         it is a perfect example of what happens when patches arent either sent or applied in a timely manner, and what is gonna happen on a much bigger and much more annoying scale, when liblime finally decide in 2020 to release their lek code
17:35 pianohacker   chris and I are working on that at the moment
17:34 chris         with pianohacker's ajaxcirc work, the patches were out of date, so had to be brought back up to date and fixed, before they can be resubmitted
17:34 chris         some time later a release is made, containing not just that feature/bugfix but a bunch of others
17:33 chris         so you develop, test locally, send a patch, the release manager applies and tests, if it is ok, pushes it to the main git repo
17:30 chris         the release manager has to apply it to the branch in git it is applicable to
17:30 chris         when someone sends a patch
17:30 schuster      OK so I made that word up, but you get my question?
17:30 chris         i said merged
17:29 chris         hmm i dont think i said packaged
17:28 schuster      Idea, design, develop, test, revise, package?, git, release? or what is the flow and the steps.
17:28 Ropuch        Good evening
17:27 schuster      There have been references in the past that "packaging" after developing something can take some time to do - so I am just trying to understand how the full Development cycle works.
17:26 schuster      I also talked about the work pianohacker had done and was posted on the wiki and chris indicated there again about "installing and packaging it"...
17:26 schuster      yesterday I asked about the 3.2 and the merging bibs - and chris indicated it needed to be "packaged" and I don't really understand what/how that works.
17:25 pianohacker   schuster: I don't know if there's a document per se
17:24 |Lupin|       wizzyrea: do you intend to participate ?
17:24 schuster      As a librarian I don't understand this full tech part - so was wondering if there is a document or something that can explain how a developed "patch" submitted to git gets "packaged" etc...  I may have the cart before the horse, but don't know.  Just in theory.
17:23 chris         heya schuster, hows texas?
17:23 schuster      Hey...  chris et. al..
17:17 pianohacker   morning chris
17:17 chris         hiya owen
17:15 owen          Hi chris
17:14 chris         morning
16:52 schuster      drat - was wanting a contact for the Vermont group.
16:52 schuster      Brendan here?
16:43 pianohacker   hey
16:43 owen          Hi pianohacker
16:43 pianohacker   Hi
16:21 reiko         now all i need is to understand how i am going to add those
16:20 hdl           mmm could be
16:19 reiko         hdl, can it be that the auth types i can't get search results from need to be defined here aswell?
16:17 reiko         wow, its a big file
16:14 hdl           authority-zebra-indexdefs
16:14 reiko         authority-zebra-indexdefs or koha-indexdefs-to-zebra ?
16:13 hdl           in your index.xsl
16:13 reiko         where do i need to add that?
16:13 reiko         that explains 114 when searching with any
16:13 reiko         ah !
16:13 hdl           sorry Add that
16:12 hdl           You have to use that.
16:12 hdl           Any is not defined in DOM mode
16:12 reiko         but it isn't workin
16:12 reiko         yeay!
16:12 hdl           If so, you are using DOM.
16:12 reiko         it does
16:12 hdl           And see if it refers to authorities-dom.cfg
16:12 hdl           And see if it refers to authorities-dom.xml
16:12 hdl           reiko: you can check koha-conf.xml
16:10 kf            ok - time to leave work :)  have a nice day/morning/evening everybody
16:04 reiko         i think, how can i check that hdl?
16:03 reiko         hdl DOM
15:54 hdl           reiko: are you using DOM or GRS1 configuration ?
15:39 chris_n       Colin: tnx
15:38 Colin         If you just want a couple of commits you can use git cherry-pick
15:37 Colin         chris_n: yes
15:34 chris_n       git gurus: can I 'git merge working_branch testing_branch' to merge "test" work back into my working branch?
15:30 wizzyrea      |Lupin| International KohaCon is going to be in New Zealand, I'm pretty sure
15:29 Colin         reiko: You night want to look at the zebra config files for a later release. I'm sure there was a fix applied for it
15:26 |Lupin|       is there a Koha conference planned for next year ?
15:26 |Lupin|       I was wondering...
15:21 reiko         thank you wizzyrea
15:21 wizzyrea      (though I'm sorry I don't have an answer for your question)
15:20 wizzyrea      nah, we like abuse :)
15:17 reiko         hi, sorry for abusing of this channel to ask questions but i can't find a solution for my problem: i'm running koha 3.00.01 and i'm having problems with authorities search: 1.Koha won't retrieve results for 3 of the 5 auth types we have 2. When i search for authorities using the parameter "all headings" i get an error 114 (attribute not suported), which probably refers to attr 1=Any.
15:09 jdavidb       first-screen-listed article, too, not some back-of-beyond link.
15:08 wizzyrea      nice!
15:08 wizzyrea      LOL!
15:06 * jdavidb     saw "skeeved" used in the Washington Post today, and though of wizzyrea, who was the first person he ever saw use it at all.
14:58 Ropuch        I've just read that MS want to patent sudo ;>
14:50 |Lupin|       kf: thanks anyway !
14:50 |Lupin|       kf: yeah it's definitely related to imports, that's how I came to it... I was just trying to clarify how...
14:48 kf            perhaps its related to staged marc import? or import? (not very sure here)
14:47 kf            hm.
14:46 |Lupin|       kf: so the Breeding.pm module would be a kind of context ?
14:46 kf            Lupin: context?
14:45 |Lupin|       or perhaps give a tranlsation in french ?
14:45 |Lupin|       I'm wondering what "breeding" means... can somebody explain, pls ?
14:43 kf            good morning chris_n
14:27 chris_n       g'morning
14:25 paul_p        hdl: on peut skyper 2mn ?
14:25 Ropuch        kf: thanks
14:25 owen          The sad thing is I know why the message had to start that way... Some people just can't seem to restrain themselves.
14:24 kf            Ropuch: I will check if our Z39.50 is accessible for you
14:24 paul_p        and good morning/afternoon/evening/night everybody
14:24 jwagner       reminds me of some test notes I used with message creation -- being excessively grumpy one day, I set up a note that read "Patron is a PITA" (meaning Pain In The Ass).
14:24 paul_p        owen: lol
14:24 kf            :)
14:22 owen          I love it when I see notes on a patron's account that start this way: "DO NOT READ THIS NOTE OUT LOUD"
14:20 kf            we have something like 'worldcat format' without $0 $w (ids for authority / title linking), DNB withoug ISBD punctuation and for ILS (which is for Koha with ISBD punctuation and $0, $w etc.)
14:19 Ropuch        Noticed it now
14:19 kf            I am speaking of MARC21
14:18 Ropuch        We had 2 few years ago, but national library managed to switch to MARC21
14:17 kf            Ropuch: hm, problem is, we already have 3 MARC21 formats here
14:14 kf            Ropuch: you know, there are several union catalogs in Germany, I work for SWB, but not sure if MARC21-Z39.50 is already publicly available
14:14 Ropuch        kf: sure
14:13 kf            Ropuch: oh, can you give me the date for that one?
14:13 Ropuch        kf: what german z3950 server can you recommend? I'm using z3950.gbv.de atm
14:12 jwagner       Thanks, we'll do some experimenting on it.
14:11 hdl           jwagner: Maybe you should set CircControl to PickupLibrary in your cas rather than ItemHomeLibrary in your case
14:11 Ropuch        Polish use of MARC21 is creepy sometimes
14:11 Ropuch        Hm, correspondence in x subfield instead of v
14:10 kf            jwagner: I think there is also a new syspref for reserves in head, with similar choices
14:10 jwagner       I seem to remember it also affects holds and circ rules.  Have to do some testing....  Thanks.
14:09 owen          jwagner: I only find references to that preference in Circulation.pm and fines.pl, FWIW
14:08 kf            but I think the calendar uses it too (I think I saw it in the code for notices/fines)
14:07 kf            I have only 1 branch per installation (and glad about it) , so I never tested it
14:06 jwagner       kf, you're right -- the circcontrol syspref is set to item home library.  What are the implications of changing that to patron library?  I think it has broader effects than just due dates.
14:06 kf            I think the syspref CircControl is used for things like that
14:05 jwagner       I'm not sure -- I wanted to get input from people who have more experience with multi-branch systems than I do.
14:05 kf            CircControl
14:05 owen          Sounds like a bug... Wouldn't you always want the due date to be set according to the issuing branch?
14:03 jwagner       We have a library where patrons can borrow items belonging to any branches, but the branches are closed different days than the main library.  This is resulting in different due dates for items checked out on the same day, because one item belongs to main & another to a branch.
14:02 jwagner       question for people on calendars and branches -- it looks the the system obeys the calendar of the branch _owning_ the item when checking it out (for closed dates, etc.), rather than the calendar of the patron.  Is that the case, and is there a way to change it?
13:58 jdavidb       You bet.  :)  Glad I could be of service.
13:58 Roger         Yes, thank you very much for your help!
13:57 jdavidb       Oh, yeah, it's been done plenty.    I suggest looking at this page on the koha wiki:  http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohaonwindows
13:56 Roger         have you heard about this was already done before?
13:55 Roger         I don't need more than this, my library is very small
13:55 Roger         indeed I wanted to install it in a simple windows xp
13:54 Roger         ok
13:54 jdavidb       It can be done; it has been done.  It's *not* easy or trivial, as I understand it.  I have not ever done it, myself.
13:53 Roger         I just wanna know.. can I install koha in a windows server?
13:52 Roger         Ok
13:52 jdavidb       Several who might be able to, Roger, depending on the problem.
13:51 Roger         Hi there! There is someone who can help me? I have a simple doubt.
13:42 |Lupin|       Kivutar: I see...
13:41 jwagner       good morning Nate & everyone.
13:40 Nate          good morning #Koha!
13:40 Kivutar       |Lupin|: not released yet, it is not finished and I must say I am not proud of how I coded it =/
13:37 |Lupin|       Kivutar (or nicomo?): is the MARC21toUNIMARC.xsl file mentionned in your code available somewhere ?
13:36 Kivutar       that would be great
13:35 Kivutar       and we could do the same thing for pdf generation with xsl-fo :)
13:34 Kivutar       |Lupin|: not with the current version, but if we choose to use xslt for convertion, then they will be able
13:33 |Lupin|       Kivutar: you mean they can with the curent version of Koha ?
13:32 Kivutar       |Lupin|: if they want to specify the url for a MARC21toDANMARK.xlst they can
13:32 |Lupin|       Kivutar: so for you some flexibility has to be left to the user regarding the way the mapping is done...
13:32 Kivutar       |Lupin|: first they don't need to upload, just specify an url
13:32 |Lupin|       Kivutar: ah but I think I understand your point... it's because not every body will want to do the mapping the same way, right ?
13:31 |Lupin|       Kivutar: why should users have to upload something ? as I see it this converter should be integrated into Koha...
13:31 Kivutar       I think it does
13:30 |Lupin|       Kivutar: hmm... for somehting intended to be integrated to Koha, I'm not sure requiring an additional dependency over an XSLT processor is more interesting than having a native Perl translator... unless Koha already depends on an XSLT processor for something ?
13:30 Kivutar       for the same result (and more code) you get security
13:29 Kivutar       but you can let them specify an xslt url
13:29 Kivutar       you can't let users upload perl scripts on your server right?
13:29 Kivutar       the good thing with xslt is its portability
13:29 Kivutar       good question
13:28 |Lupin|       Kivutar: what I don't really understand: why would this be preferable to just write something in Perl using the MARC::Record and MARC::Field modules ? wouldn't that be just lighter and easier to integrate to Koha ?
13:28 Kivutar       |Lupin|: http://pastebin.com/m609a935d
13:28 |Lupin|       Kivutar: yep.
13:27 Kivutar       |Lupin|: yes, using an XSLT processor
13:26 |Lupin|       Kivutar: so when a record arrives, ou'd store it in MARCXML, transform it with the xslt, and then reload it... right ?
13:25 Kivutar       it'is a transformation language, you can get its output
13:25 nicomo_laptop XSLTransform
13:24 Kivutar       |Lupin|: xslt is not 'just for display' :)
13:24 |Lupin|       Kivutar: I don't understand why it is an xslt thing you did... for us we don't want to convert just for display... we want to convert when the records are sent by the Z39.50 server and then store them in Unimarc in Koha...
13:23 |Lupin|       Kivutar: ok this page is one thing, but is there some code that could be used to translate one into the other ?
13:23 Kivutar       and we started a marc21tounimarc.xslt
13:22 Kivutar       |Lupin|: http://www.loc.gov/marc/unimarctomarc21.html
13:19 nicomo_laptop Ask Kivutar, I think he started something on this
13:18 |Lupin|       nicomo_laptop: I think the mapping is documented on loc.gov...
13:18 |Lupin|       So, a conversion tool would not be too difficult to write, would it ?
13:18 |Lupin|       nicomo_laptop: I see...
13:18 nicomo_laptop authorities are different
13:18 nicomo_laptop on the biblio level, it's just permutation of fields/subfields
13:17 |Lupin|       nicomo_laptop: is it just a matter of permutation of fields and subfields, or are there deeper semantic differences ?
13:17 |Lupin|       nicomo_laptop: I'm trying to understand how far the two dialects are from each other
13:16 nicomo_laptop I've been looking for that, but have not found any so far. I did not search thoroughly, though
13:15 |Lupin|       nicomo_laptop: and do you think there are conversions tools outside of Koha, open-source tools that I could tr to integrate somewhere somehow ?
13:14 |Lupin|       nicomo_laptop: ok...
13:14 nicomo_laptop that being said, now that we have a unimarc xslt, and a marc21 xslt we could theoretically do something on the fly
13:13 nicomo_laptop it uses the default framework and tries to enter data in that
13:12 nicomo_laptop as far as I gather, yes
13:12 |Lupin|       nicomo_laptop: so if one attempts to do that, what happens ? fields are copied "blindly", so, say, MARC21 field 800 becomes unimarc field 800, no matter the semantics ?
13:11 |Lupin|       nicomo_laptop: hmm! thanks :)
13:04 nicomo_laptop |Lupin| not that I know of, there's no format translation on the fly
12:56 |Lupin|       is it possible with a Koha in Unimarc to receive and impor records in MARC21 from a Z39.50 server ? does Koha handle this correctly ?
12:46 kf            back
12:01 CGI597        connection hung there, couldn't refresh.....anyway, I still didn't solve the OPACURL problem
11:58 kf            lunch time - bbl :)
11:52 kf            Ropuch: :)
11:49 Ropuch        [p;
11:49 Ropuch        kf: that is not a problem at all: I have lots of german speaking people around, pro translators and native geramn speaker included
11:48 kf            Ropuch: my notes are in German, but I think you can just copy the code to sysprefs
11:47 kf            Ropuch: email sent
11:46 Ropuch        kf: let me learn some basic first :)
11:46 Ropuch        Actually he's speaking polish very good after only one year course
11:45 kf            Ropuch: cool :) you can train a little with me too :)
11:45 Ropuch        We have a trainee in Centrum, he's learning polish, so we can help each other
11:44 Ropuch        I've just ordered Deutsch-Polnisches Sprachtandem : Aufgaben und Tipps f�r Anf�nger
11:41 Ropuch        kf: thank you :)
11:41 kf            Ropuch: thank you!
11:41 kf            Ropuch: its still in our non-public wiki - but I am working on a public documentation too - its just a time problem. will send you a pdf as email
11:41 Ropuch        I will inlude sshot from your library in my presentation for sure [;
11:40 Ropuch        kf: it would be great
11:40 Ropuch        I wonder if any polsih commercial ILS can do this [;
11:40 kf            Ropuch: I can send you a German howto
11:40 Ropuch        kf: now I have working example
11:38 kf            CGI597: which version of Koha are u using? is XSLt-display on?
11:38 kf            Ropuch: its a simple solution, most code is the html table
11:36 Ropuch        kf: I haven't noticed the onscreen hebrew keyboard on your opac before - I want to introduce koha to roclaw Study of Jewish Culture and Languages and I'm sure they will ask about hebrew titles
11:23 |Lupin|       k, editor in 260...
11:19 |Lupin|       I assume there is no way, else Koha would deal with that by itself...
11:19 |Lupin|       hmm ok... given a marc record, is there a way to figure out which flavour it is, which encoding is used for the characters, etc. ?
11:14 Ropuch        CGI597: you have any value after Online resources: ?
11:14 |Lupin|       CGI597: did you find an answer for your URL problem ?
11:13 |Lupin|       (a power failure actually)
11:13 |Lupin|       back ! sorry, had network problems
11:03 CGI597        Even more strange. I have done this and it still opens in the same window.
11:02 Ropuch        Setting OPACURLOpenInNewWindow works for me - the urls are opened in new windows
11:02 Ropuch        You will know then when to look for it ;>
11:02 Ropuch        Like that
11:02 Ropuch        <div class="results_summary"><span class="label">Online resources: <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="OPACURLOpenInNewWindow" --></span>
11:01 CGI597        anywhere in that file?
11:00 Ropuch        Put <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="OPACURLOpenInNewWindow" --> somewhere on opac-detail and see what it will show
10:59 CGI597        yeah, strange. It's there on mine too.
10:58 CGI597        from the opac-detail? I'll check
10:57 Ropuch        It's from my template
10:57 Ropuch        <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="OPACURLOpenInNewWindow" --><a href="<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="MARCURL" -->" title="<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="MARCURL" -->" target="_blank"><!-- TMPL_ELSE --><a href="<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="MARCURL" -->" title="<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="MARCURL" -->"><!-- /TMPL_IF -->
10:57 Ropuch        Hm
10:57 CGI597        um, it is on already but still opens in the same window
10:57 Ropuch        Guess I need coffee more than I thought
10:56 CGI597        that easy!? super, will try that.
10:56 Ropuch        [;
10:56 Ropuch        Just set the OPACURLOpenInNewWindow sypref ON
10:56 CGI597        even better!
10:55 Ropuch        Ypu don't have to ,mess with tmpl
10:55 Ropuch        I totally forgiot
10:55 CGI597        for what
10:55 CGI597        ok
10:55 Ropuch        Wait
10:55 Ropuch        wair
10:55 Ropuch        aaa
10:55 CGI597        cool, thanks
10:54 Ropuch        opac-detail.tmpl
10:52 CGI597        Oh, never thought of that. I can try and find it, but don't suppose you know which tmpl file offhand, do you? opac-results maybe?
10:50 Ropuch        CGI597: you can tweak the .tmpl to do this
10:50 CGI597        I am getting confused!!! Are you helping me with the question I asked about opening in a new window?
10:50 |Lupin|       CGI597: trying to figure out the right syntax for the server :)
10:49 |Lupin|       CGI597: no, a web link. In Koha you can say that a field contains a link, and if that is specified Koha will make it possible to click on the link... go to the cataloguing framewok array, search for your field and you shold be able to activate it as a link
10:49 CGI597        You saved a MARC record from a Z39.50 server? What are you trying to do with it?
10:48 |Lupin|       CGI597: I'm not sure... I get a MARC thing from a Z39.50 server and I'm not sure of the flavour...
10:48 CGI597        Link? Do you mean link an Authority link?
10:48 |Lupin|       CGI597: does Koha know that the field is a link ? (cf. cataloguing framework...)
10:47 Ropuch        Yep
10:47 CGI597        Well, 245 is a (one) title tag, yes. Is that what you mean?
10:46 |Lupin|       is that MARC21 style ?
10:46 |Lupin|       could somebody pls tell me in which marc flavour the title is in 245 ?
10:45 |Lupin|       question for librarians
10:42 CGI597        Trying to get the 856 tag (Online Resources) text to be linkable but open in another windows. I have tried adding some html into the feild but this won't work,. Does anyone know if this can be done?
10:26 |Lupin|       good night chris
10:23 Ropuch        Good night
10:23 Ropuch        Hm, due to dns issues it's actually the only web services that works form me now ;>

06:44 Ropuch        Morning #koha
04:03 * chris_n2    heads off to find sleep
04:03 chris_n2      my problem is every time I find a bug I want to fix it immediately
04:00 * chris_n2    is the farthest thing from a marc guru :-P
04:00 chris         yeah galen or thd
03:59 chris_n2      galen?
03:59 chris_n2      there also seems to lack some normalization
03:59 chris         im not sure, i think you need someone who understands marc more than i do
03:59 chris_n2      should the export/import routine handle this case?
03:59 chris         sounds like it might be
03:59 chris_n2      maybe a bug?
03:59 chris         ah
03:58 chris_n2      chris: the issue appears to be with bibs with multiple 020 fields
03:53 brendan       good day to you
03:53 brendan       Hi Amit
03:53 Amit          heya brendan
03:37 chris         hmm i wouldnt have thought so, but maybe the export mucked something up
03:36 chris_n2      chris: should I expect to encounter some problems when exporting records from one koha install and importing them into another?
03:35 * chris_n2    is up too late again
03:35 chris_n2      hello Amit
03:34 Amit          good morning #koha

03:05 chris_n2      bulkmarcimport seems to botch the isbn up even more
03:05 chris_n2      which should be 0802452965
03:05 * chris_n2    sees some things like: 0802452965 (v.
03:05 chris         i dont know for sure
03:04 chris         its plausible
03:04 chris_n2      chris: is there some sort of regex filtering of the isbn before it is inserted into the biblioitems table?
02:44 chris         *nod*
02:43 chris_n2      so that is what the warn is telling me?
02:43 chris         missing bib numbers? or bib numbers in the wrong field?
