We could get everyone to join the existing foundation, 20:10 brendan 20:10 brendan Ok here is the info we have discovered about the existing Koha Foundation and how we (the community) can gain control of it. 20:10 brendan owen it does seem moot at this point 20:09 nengard sekjal - their customers are aksing us for help cause they can't get answers from support 20:09 brendan this is what we found : 20:09 chris SelfishMan: i will endavour to get that in the minutes 20:09 owen Or is the Ohio based Koha Foundation moot as well? 20:09 chris thd: can you speak to this? 20:09 nengard pianohacker - oh i agree it's good for us to have - just don't see how it helps them - but you're right - ahead of ourselves 20:09 owen Report on legal status of Ohio based Koha Foundation 20:09 IrmaCalyx I vote yes 20:08 SelfishMan So, is there an offical statement/description of what is happening to be passed on to those that aren't well versed in this whole issue? 20:08 owen I think we're on to Item 5 on the Agenda (3 and 4 being moot apparently) 20:08 chris wizzyrea: and in others .. thats the problem 20:08 sekjal I think LL still really thinks they and their customers are definitive Koha community; hence the challenge to HLT 20:08 wizzyrea and winning a branding battle is establishing those equivalents 20:08 pianohacker nengard: still good to have, if as nothing other than a redirector service, but we're getting ahead of ourselves 20:08 wizzyrea nengard: it's equivalent in their minds 20:08 nengard and owen - theirs is LEK - not koha ... but whatever - semanics 20:08 chris ok, next agenda item? 20:08 nengard thd - we're a pretty noisy bunch we can get it to change pretty damn fast :) 20:07 Mickey sorry must leave best to all 20:07 chris and please if people could do nightly backups for the wiki and bugzilla that would stop me fearing so much 20:07 owen nengard: From their point of view theirs is the only one worth having 20:07 thd nengard:everything now points to koha .org all over the internet and those links are not going to change in any hury 20:07 pianohacker s/start discussions/start discussions now/ 20:07 nicomo by the way, vickiteal's effort is not incompatible with our moving forward 20:07 nengard yeah - i get that - owen - I just don't get why LL is being so stubborn - if we change the name there is no value left in koha.org - so it's pointless to hold on to it so tightly 20:07 jransom pianohacker++ 20:06 owen SelfishMan: Why wouldn't it? 20:06 hdl_laptop pianohacker++ 20:06 wizzyrea i vote yes 20:06 chris good idea pianohacker 20:06 Genji vickiteal++ 20:06 pianohacker So we're ready 20:06 SelfishMan (if my vote even counts) 20:06 * pianohacker seconds the motion, with note that we might want to start discussions on naming and identity change regardless of outcome 20:06 jransom +1 20:06 * SelfishMan votes yes 20:06 owen nengard: This is our last-ditch effort to avoid the identity change 20:06 nengard +1 20:06 kyle A late thought, instead of having a version number battle, why not move to a date based versioning system like Ubuntu? Koha 9.12? 20:06 Nate +1 coca cola would fight tooth and nail for their name with good reason 20:06 imp +1 20:06 nicomo yes 20:06 imp 1 20:06 chris +1 20:06 nengard I have to say this all confuses me - if the real koha is going to be openkoha and advertised as such - what value does koha.org have - why not just give it up and move on with things? 20:06 cait +1 20:06 chris s/and/at/ 20:05 sekjal +1 20:05 wizzyrea pitch it to waldo as it's taking away staff assets (time, attention) to deal with these community assets 20:05 * owen votes yes 20:05 thd ++ 20:05 chris and persuading LL to see reason 20:05 * chris_n seconds the motion 20:05 chris to try their hand 20:05 chris should we give LL customers (led by vickiteal) until december 24 20:05 chris_n chris: on? 20:05 wizzyrea only in LEK 20:05 wizzyrea but I'm not sure they have a stake in the koha community assets 20:05 chris ok, how about a vote 20:05 chris wizzyrea: my point entirely 20:04 wizzyrea of course they did, they paid for it ^.^ 20:04 slef3g it is a process not the finished tm. up or ll or more could object 20:04 cait i missed ben ide on the mailinglist lately 20:04 chris_n chris: I wonder if they are not responsible for this mess in the final analysis 20:04 chris well they defended LEK 20:04 sekjal I could try reigniting that discussion 20:04 sekjal I've had contact with one Rob Karen at WALDO 20:04 wizzyrea do we know for sure they are defending the hijack of community koha assets? 20:04 chris but they are the ones defending it 20:04 chris_n chris: yup 20:04 vickiteal I ahve to leave for another meeting, but I will stay logged in so I can read the rest of the meeting. 20:04 Genji Wow. the wiki is huge. 20:04 chris are the high ups in waldo 20:04 chris in 10 minutes 20:04 chris you know the people who could fix all this right now 20:03 vickiteal As I said, I'm not making promisies. Just want to try. 20:03 slef3g our coop is first vendor in uk and some other eu states 20:03 chris_n nicomo++ 20:03 slef3g our coop is first vendor in uk and some other eu states 20:03 nicomo :-) 20:03 nicomo slef3g: want a copy? 20:03 owen nicomo++ 20:03 wizzyrea nicomo++ 20:03 nicomo I just filed the paperwork to transfer the TM process to HLT 20:03 pianohacker vickiteal: if that works, would be an excellent noche buena gift :) 20:03 chris slef3g: whatever it is, its being transferred to HLT 20:03 vickiteal f someone could send me an email with what to ask for, I can discuss it with other customers and we can do our best. 20:03 nicomo eh eh slef3g I would have been disappointed not hearing from you on this 20:03 chris slef3g: ? 20:02 slef3g last I saw that was only a tm attempt 20:02 vickiteal I guess we could commit to December 24th. 20:02 jransom We have asked Josh for the community assets, and asked he needs to have in order to give back the domain name. 20:02 vickiteal Josh is going to be on vacation and will not be back until December 17th. 20:01 chris_n I think LL's customers have the teeth to do it, but I wonder about the practicality of showing them 20:01 jransom Timely to announce now that Biblibre and HLT have started the process of transferring the EU Koha trademark over to HLT. At no cost to HLT. 20:01 owen I think vickiteal should try. 20:01 pianohacker (possibly) 20:01 vickiteal Ask him. 20:01 pianohacker vickiteal: Also, how much would you be pushing for? 20:01 chris would 2 weeks be enough time vickiteal ? 20:01 SelfishMan I know of a few local liblime customers that are terminating their contracts over this 20:01 vickiteal I am not confident. But, I think that we should be given the opportunity to discuss it and try. We had to wait to see what the Trust could do first. 20:01 chris_n vikiteal: how do you propose to go about changing Josh's mind? 20:00 chris but i fear that they have little chance in doing so :( 20:00 nicomo jransom: yep, SEO for the new web site will have to be reaaally good 20:00 jransom kyle: my thoughts excatly 20:00 chris i think we should give them time 20:00 SelfishMan owen: I could be wrong but it seems to me that the majority of the people that are heavily attached to the project are in this channel. I say do it hear when the time comes 20:00 chris if vicki is confident liblime customers can sway joshua's mind 20:00 jransom and with potential koha libraries landing on liblime when they are looking for koha community 20:00 thd Preending is fine 20:00 kyle If we ever get koha.org back, we could always redirect to the new 'home base' url 19:59 thd I do fear changing the Koha part of the name on a practical basis for recognition. 19:59 owen We need to have an up-or-down vote on whether to proceed with the identity change. Should that happen here, now, or under a more formal framework? 19:59 jransom and doing nothing means we continue with the website access problems, 19:59 SelfishMan I'm just thinking that incrementing the major version with a new name would "sell" better 19:59 thd nicomo: yes certainly the domain has to be solved and multiple domains can point to the same place even without a name distincion for the software 19:59 jransom 3.2 is a big release. 19:58 chris_n hehe 19:58 kyle SelfishMan, Chris: Then we go to 11! 19:58 chris its a performance clean up one, 3.4 is a perfect number ;) 19:58 chris naw its not a big feature release 19:58 owen SelfishMan: LibLime has already done that :| 19:58 nicomo vickiteal: dec. 25th? 19:58 SelfishMan maybe instead of the next 3.x go 4.0? 19:58 vickiteal One month. 19:58 slef3g kyle++ 19:57 nengard i'm with chris and jransom - we're not rushing 19:57 SelfishMan I hate to say it, but I think we are screwed. You guys are right, a name change is required. Doing it with the next release would be the way to go 19:57 nicomo thd: a change of domain name doesn't resolve all the issues (like TM) but it solves pratical issues (the web site) 19:57 jransom how much longer do you think is reasonable? 19:57 vickiteal If they decide not to, or there is no positivie outcome then at least you know that everything was tried. 19:57 chris i dont think we are rushing 19:57 jransom we have had a year of mucking around Vivky. 19:57 kyle If OpenKoha is too big of a gray area, I think another Maori would would suffice. 19:57 vickiteal I think rushing without exhausting all possibilities may do more harm to Koha, than to take another month or so to see if LL customers can do something. 19:57 * chris_n motions we move forward on identity change 19:57 jransom I would like to move that we do. 19:57 pianohacker slef3g: Thanks for coming regardless 19:57 slef3g battery low. no recharge chance. sorry all 19:57 owen How do we arrive at a communal decision on the identity-change issue? 19:56 jransom Chris ++ 19:56 kyle chris++ 19:56 thd own: Open Koha would also use the US trademark just as much as Koha alone in the context of library software for which Koha is trademarked in the US. 19:56 chris i think the longer we stay, the more trashed it is getting 19:56 owen Alright everyone, let's focus on the next step 19:56 SelfishMan kyle, chris: I don't doubt the reputation is being killed. I guess I should have said "brand recognition" instead of reputation. It has taken a long time to get local libraries to consider koha and changing the name will scare them away again. 19:56 chris my fear is, and after reading someones thesis last night, its even more real that liblime are trashing the reputation of koha 19:55 Mickey yes. what exactly does waiting gain us? 19:55 jransom But if we want to move forward we have a perfect opportunity to make a big splash. 19:55 vickiteal I undertand problem has been around for a while, but to me it still feels new. 19:55 owen thd: What do you mean? 19:54 thd If there is a serious concern about the US trademark. prepending a word will not change the issue. 19:54 chris_n I think the only thing that will persuade LL at this point would be a mass exodus of customers 19:54 sekjal with any luck, the newly forming KUDOS can serve to promote the community in contrast to LL 19:54 vickiteal Owen: good question. I'm not even making a commitment, but I think we would like the opportunity to discuss with other customers. 19:54 jransom If the community wishes to play the LL game for longer then so be it. 19:54 nengard thought that would be quicker 19:54 slef3g hdl: disagree. consensus better 19:54 nengard i'm back 19:54 owen ("they" in general) 19:54 SelfishMan btw, I'm ripping wiki.koha.org now 19:53 owen Could they be persuaded to talk to LibLime, or do they not want to make waves? 19:53 jransom the email I had from a LL university client was very sad 19:53 chris im happy to do so 19:53 chris but if others feel like we should wait longer 19:53 owen vickiteal: I don't have a good sense of what LibLime customers even think of all this, only a few data points 19:53 chris i personally feel they have had more than enough time 19:53 chris liblime didnt just wake up 2 months ago and decide to stop playing nice, its been happening for over a year 19:53 wizzyrea we were waiting to see what the official outcome was 19:53 kyle Nate: true, that is why I'm for OpenKoha. I suppose I was speaking as an existing Koha user :) 19:52 wizzyrea yea, except a lot of ... what she said 19:52 vickiteal I don't know that the customers have tried that hard yet. 19:52 chris this isnt rushed, its positively glacial 19:52 jransom we have this huge promo - launch opportunity in 1 month to relaunch Koha. 19:52 sekjal Genji: changed my browser in wget, got better results 19:52 chris vickiteal: we ahve been locked out of www.koha.org for a year now 19:52 pianohacker vickiteal: that _might_ have possibilities; my impression was that customer pressure was a part of the recent shift to lek, no? 19:52 Genji owen: hopefully there is a later. 19:52 owen Genji: Let's save that discussion for later 19:52 wizzyrea vickiteal I was thinking the same thing 19:52 chris vickiteal: id love to believe they could, but so far they seem unable to shift them to even releasing the code :( 19:52 vickiteal Is there are rush to make such a huge change? 19:52 Genji Can the wiki and bugzilla be exported in their native formats? or will we just have to do html dumps? 19:51 jransom this willsend shockwaves through libraryland - people will hear about the new name :) 19:51 vickiteal I'm wondering if we could give the LibLime customers some time to see if they could sway LibLime from relinquishing koha.org? 19:51 Nate Never underestimate the power of branding 19:51 kyle I doubt anyone cares about the name as much as they care about the software functioning. 19:51 chris vickiteal: go right ahead 19:51 Nate like KohaCommunity 19:51 vickiteal May I make a suggestion? 19:51 magnusenger jransom++ 19:50 imp if somebody tells me what to mirror, i can try to get it 19:50 owen At least they can hijack the identity 19:50 Nate Can we make the change in the name to come after the word "Koha" 19:50 owen If we start fresh with an identity that is owned by a foundation then it doesn't matter if a company doesn't want to share 19:50 jransom and i think we have to be strong and assertive now and send a clear message that Koha Community is strong and determined to control our own destiny. 19:50 sekjal I'm getting blocked by robots.txt, I think 19:50 hdl_laptop slef3g: I don't think we have to make concensus on the name. majority is ok. 19:50 Genji sekjal: no dice? 19:50 Mickey koha is stronger than its specific brand at this point; it has surpassed critical mass 19:50 pianohacker imp: AGPL is a possibility, but I think it was regarded as a step too far in the other direction 19:49 wizzyrea imp: that's more of what I was getting at 19:49 kyle SelfishMan: I think the reputation of Koha will follow the community if it is said loud and clear. OpenKoha isn't much of a leap. 19:49 jransom yep. 19:49 imp wizzyrea: you can choose a licence, which will (theoreticaly) force them to send their patches upstream 19:49 chris SelfishMan: the reputation of koha is currently being killed 19:49 slef3g doodle ok for majorities but bad at consensus building 19:49 SelfishMan I'm coming in late but it seems to me that changing the name will kill the reputation of koha 19:49 sekjal I just tried wget -r on both; no dice 19:48 gmcharlt wizzyrea: chris has it 19:48 owen We don't even have any framework established for carrying out a court fight 19:48 Genji Anyone grabbing the wiki and bugzilla? How is a full grab done? 19:48 hdl_laptop It's been some time now we are stuck. 19:48 chris wizzyrea: nothing and we dont want to 19:48 Mickey cost-benefit. is it worth a protracted fight? or not? 19:48 magnusenger call it a day, move on, use energy on something constructive 19:48 pianohacker (above is just to continue precedent of using polls for decision making) 19:48 wizzyrea question: what would prevent a non open koha vendor from using openkoha code? 19:48 owen At this point I think we have to rely on the advice of those who have been involved with the negotiations 19:48 hdl_laptop i think we have to call it a day. 19:48 chris_n I'd say we leave the name with them and go our own way 19:48 chris a possible plan being rebrand and launch in time for 3.2 19:47 chris or do we call it a day, and work on a plan to move on 19:47 chris do we want to persist trying to get koha.org back from liblime 19:47 nicomo pianohacker: ++ 19:47 Genji How do I get an export of those two things? 19:47 pianohacker Set up a poll with 2 questions: Whether to change name, and if so, ranking of choices? 19:47 chris the important point to decide is 19:47 imp maybe the disscusion about a new name should be moved to the mailinglist? don't think it's critical right now (and doodle it later or something like that) 19:47 jransom is someone grabbing those 2 things? 19:47 * owen is feeling the same paranoia lately 19:46 chris Genji: like i say paranoia 19:46 owen Okay, then what's the next step? 19:46 jransom 3.2 is the perfect perfect opportunity to launch the new Koha 19:46 Genji chris: liblime could be scanning the realtime log, and may pull those two at any moment? 19:46 chris myself included 19:46 chris this is just the opinion of 3 people 19:46 chris owen; hell no 19:46 pianohacker Do we have an official date for 3.2 set? Didn't see it in the dev meeting notes, but I could have missed it 19:46 owen This is big decision folks, are we prepared to move forward on this plan just with the consensus of those present today? 19:45 thd Genji++ 19:45 chris can someone please get a copy of the wiki and bugzilla right now 19:45 jransom question is, is it faesible to do this in time? 19:45 jransom Chris: is your emplyer willing to commit resources to get a new site up? 19:45 chris but now this is public 19:45 chris this is probably paranoia 19:45 sekjal its going to be hard to get the community to agree on a new name, but its probably for the best 19:45 chris ok 19:45 * Genji loves the original website.

Dr. pianohacker 16:53 pianohacker hi brendan 16:53 brendan heya pianohacker 16:53 brendan what's up 16:53 brendan I've messed with it before 16:51 wizzyrea brendan: have you ever set up the SIP server for Koha? 16:35 imp hdl_laptop1: with subversion, you can setup procommit hooks, they can do stuff like enforcing longer commitmessages (just exploring the stuff myself right now because 3/5 from my team tend to write _nothing_ in there...) 16:34 kf but I think nicole's documentation will fix that :) 16:33 kf in the new acq module 16:32 kf I also had a problem to understand some things 16:29 hdl_laptop1 and sometimes, it is quite difficult to know WHAT to tell to be thorough and fully understood. 16:28 hdl_laptop1 But we had no guidelines for that... And time to develop is somtimes way too short. 16:27 hdl_laptop1 (internally) 16:27 hdl_laptop1 we are already asking for commits to be more verbose. 16:26 hdl_laptop1 Yes. too brief commit message--.... But We shall try and improve that. 16:26 wizzyrea nengard that sounds sweet 16:25 nengard I do have one complaint - and that is that the commit messages were too brief - meaning I can't always figure out what a new section is for 16:25 jwagner So long as there are no lumps of coal :-) I can't wait to take a look myself, but I have too much else going on right now. 16:24 hdl_laptop1 nengard+++ 16:24 nengard :) 16:24 nengard hdl_laptop1 I have not found many major issues - mostly tiny things that I have been able to fix on my own 16:23 hdl_laptop1 yes... Some gifts are fine, others less fine ;) 16:23 nengard hdl_laptop1 it's like christmas morning with this new update to koha - all kinds of presents under the hood :) hehe 16:22 hdl_laptop1 nengard: thanks 16:21 nengard wizzyea and own i thought it was for new acq - but it's not - it's just a cart for staff to make it easier to perform bulk actions - kind of cool :) 16:11 reiko http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/628/capturezw.png <- heres a screen of how some authorities show up when i search for them 16:09 reiko hi, i'm having troubles with authority searching, do i need to configure authority-zebra-indexdefs.xsl in order to search? i have some custom auth types. 16:06 chris_n bbiab 16:05 jwagner Thanks, will send. 16:05 chris_n cnighswonger@foundations.edu 16:05 chris_n I think all of the bugfixes I've submitted have made it into the HEAD 16:05 jwagner What's your email address? 16:04 chris_n I can look at it later today as we use that code here in production 16:03 chris_n jwagner: maybe a description of the steps to reproduce the error 16:02 jwagner Yes. I can send you the screenshot if you want. We've done a lot of development on this system. Haven't touched the label scripts, but we may be butting heads elsewhere in one of the .pm files? 16:02 chris_n label-item-search.pl... scanning a barcode to search for an item? 16:01 chris_n I've not encountered that one that I can recall 16:01 jwagner I know you had some fixes to that, but the version of head they're at should have them all, I thought. Do you recognize that one? 16:00 jwagner chris_n, one of our users was trying to scan a barcode into the new label creator, & got an error like Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at kohaclone/labels/label-item-search.pl line 129 16:00 reiko hi 16:00 chris_n jwagner: here now 15:58 wizzyrea ohhhh yea that explains it 15:52 jwagner chris_n, still online? 15:51 owen It's in the latest round of updates to HEAD from BibLibre 15:48 wizzyrea i might be missing it... what screen is it on? 15:47 wizzyrea the cart... on the staff client... 15:44 * owen is thinking about whether the staff client cart link should be somewhere else in the toolbar 15:44 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3842 major, P5, ---, henridamien@koha-fr.org, NEW, Lingua::Stem::Snowball Missing from Makefile.PL 15:44 nengard hdl_laptop1 -- done - bug 3842 reported and assigned to you 15:41 wizzyrea mornin owen 15:38 owen Hi wizzyrea 15:28 hdl_laptop1 file a bug. assign to me. 15:27 nengard should it be? should we report a but that it shoudl be in there? 15:27 hdl_laptop1 I think it is not in Makefile.PL 15:27 owen hdl_laptop1: Do you know why it wasn't reported missing on the about page? 15:27 hdl_laptop1 owen nengard it is in order to use stemming 15:27 nengard ? 15:27 nengard but i don't know how to add things to that about page - or do we just report it as ab ug 15:26 nengard yeah owen - i had the same issue 15:26 owen I don't see a message on the about page about Lingua::Stem::Snowball, but I couldn't search without it 15:25 |Lupin| till soon folks ! 15:24 nengard yeah - but my system says i already have the newest version -- and koha says i'm missing it 15:23 owen packages.debian.org lists libpdf-api2-perl 15:23 nengard not yet 15:23 owen The about page says I'm missing it too 15:23 nengard nope 15:22 owen nengard: No luck for you on getting PDF::API2::Simple installed? 15:22 nengard just don't make the mistake i did - which is searching with the colons you see on the about page - search with hyphens instead 15:21 nengard :) 15:21 owen Thanks nengard that helps a lot 15:18 nengard owen chris told me about packages.debian.org -- searching there sometimes helps you find the name you want to install 15:15 hdl_laptop1 yes debian and perl are quite funny 15:15 * owen is learning 15:14 owen The confusing thing for me is guessing the name of what I should install based on the name of what's missing :| 15:13 hdl_laptop1 yes 15:12 owen If it works it works? Or not? 15:12 * owen tries sudo apt-get install libyaml-perl and it seems to work 15:10 owen "Transfer truncated: only out of 162997 bytes received" 15:08 hdl_laptop1 owen : cpanp install YAML 15:05 |Lupin| hi hilongo 15:04 hilongo hello there ... 14:57 |Lupin| hello, everybody 14:55 owen Okay folks, here's what I'm getting after fetching the newly approved stuff and rebasing: "Can't locate YAML.pm in @INC" 14:24 nengard okey dokey 14:24 hdl_laptop nengard: mmm... I think links are shown only whether framework is there. 14:21 nengard yeah - tried cpan ... need to go back and read what it's telling me 14:20 chris_n nengard: using cpan it seems to install fine... not sure about the package version 14:19 nengard hdl_laptop - if i were to delete the FA framework what would happen? if we'd have broken links and things then that's why i said blocker - didn't want to delete it to test :) hehe 14:19 nengard chris_n can you get it to install? 14:14 chris_n nengard: fwiw, I was missing PDF::API2::Simple too :-) 14:12 chris_n owen: the 'Perl Modules' will list the version or 'module is missing'... although I do not see the new module there, so I may be wrong 14:12 hdl_laptop should not be a blocker. 14:11 hdl_laptop But not that straight forward to do. 14:10 hdl_laptop No you are right. 14:10 nengard do you agree? or am I wrong in my assumptions of how it works? 14:10 hdl_laptop I saw your bug report. 14:09 hdl_laptop it is a food start. 14:09 nengard hdl_laptop - i submitted a bug regarding that -- I think it's great! but you shouldn't be able to delete the FastAdd Framework because of the links to it and the permissions issues 14:09 chris_n owen: you can check the 'about' page I think 14:09 hdl_laptop I will send a message on the lists about that. 14:08 owen chris_n: Is there a certain process one should follow to check for new dependencies? 14:08 hdl_laptop based on addbiblio with fastadd framework 14:07 nengard jwagner - yes it is 14:06 hdl_laptop jwagner: yes we did some work on that. 14:06 hdl_laptop will do 14:06 chris_n it would be nice to have some other mechanism for ensuring that deps are installed as added when running over git 14:06 jwagner Schuster, our fastadd feature hasn't gotten submitted yet -- I suspect this is a BibLibre version? 14:05 chris_n the problem with running over git is that you don't run Makefile.PL every time and so can get behind on deps especially if you do not use certain portions of code 14:04 chris_n just catching up ;-) 14:04 chris_n no, not bad 14:04 nengard oops - bad me :) hehe 14:03 chris_n actually, most of the ones nengard lists have been in Makefile.PL for a while 14:02 Schuster I responded to your question about fastbib - or whatever that was, but I suspect jwagner can maybe talk more about that new cataloging preference than I. 14:02 nengard for some reason I can't install PDF::API2::Simple 14:02 nengard np - hope that's all of them - guess I'll find out if I hit more errors 14:01 Schuster Thanks for that list nengard. 14:01 jwagner Thanks. I'd suggest an email to the listserv(s) warning people about all these before others start trying to update. 14:00 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3828 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Missing Dependency In Makefile.PL 14:00 chris_n jwagner: [Bug 3828] Add dependency Authen::CAS::Client 14:00 jwagner Thanks.

I've posted notes everywhere I can think of! If you'll be at ALA they are going to try and have a face to face. 13:42 jwagner morning, schuster. Sorry I had to miss the KUDOS meeting yesterday. 13:36 chris_n hi Schuster 13:36 hdl_laptop hi Schuster 13:36 Schuster Morning all 13:29 chris_n tnx hdl_laptop 13:29 munin hdl_laptop: The operation succeeded. 13:29 hdl_laptop @later tell chris_n some more time. I will work on that tonight 13:27 jwagner nil, what's your question? 13:24 heupink and wonder if after every adjustment I can simple run the script again 13:24 heupink it's jst: I'm getting errors, and am trying to solve them one by one, 13:24 heupink i have saved my database, installing on different server anyway, thats not the problem. 13:22 jwagner Believe me, I appreciate it! And sympathize!!! I gather there are some new Perl dependencies as well -- hdl_laptop or someone, is there a list of those? 13:22 hdl_laptop I would say you had better save your database before trying and start from that. 13:22 chris_n jwagner: glad my misery benefited someone :-) 13:21 heupink unimarc 13:21 heupink would be nice if someone could also tell me if running 'update2230.pl' 3, 4 times in a row has bad sideeffects... 13:21 hdl_laptop heupink : MARC21 or USMARC ? 13:21 nil i need some help for koha 13:21 nil hello 13:20 heupink haha, no problem. 13:20 nil hello 13:20 hdl_laptop sorry 13:20 heupink hmm. :( thought so... 13:20 hdl_laptop heupink: no, meant for jwagner. 13:20 heupink hdl_laptop: is that meant for me? 13:19 hdl_laptop on my todo list 13:18 hdl_laptop here you are. 13:18 jwagner Your dire warnings did at least save me from disaster yesterday :-) I had a site visit and I would normally have done a git pull/git rebase master as part of the trip. Good thing I knew not to try that before I went! 13:18 pastebot "hdl_laptop" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "updatedatabase" (53 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/75 13:17 chris_n jwagner: still awaiting hdl's thoughts 13:17 jwagner hdl_laptop, yes -- I think it was the new head with the biblibre patches 13:16 hdl_laptop updatedatabase ? 13:13 jwagner Good morning all. chris_n, what was the result of your rebase db problems yesterday? I had to leave in the middle of it. 13:12 heupink I'm importing the 2.2.5 mysql database in my 3.0.4 server, and then try to update the database 'format'. 13:10 heupink hi. I'm trying to migrate from 2.2.5 to 3.0.4, and having trouble. My question: can I run update22to30.pl as many times as I need? 13:04 chris_n g'morning all you code mills ;-) 12:53 imp heyho 12:52 nil hello 12:40 kf Ropuch: thx :) 12:06 Ropuch guten Hunger, kf [; 12:03 Ropuch [; 12:03 kf lunch :) 09:57 kf good night chris#! 09:57 magnusenger sleep tight! 09:57 * chris goes to sleep 09:55 magnusenger and 8pm in my neck of the woods... ;-) 09:53 * Genji nods. 09:53 chris 8am 09:53 Genji 8am? 09:53 Genji hmm.... 7am nzd? 09:53 kf chris: thx :) 09:52 chris kf: yep foundation meeting in about 9 hours 09:52 kf search groups? 09:52 Genji Interesting, this constraint concept. stops people from deleting data by mistake. 09:51 chris has that branch as its home branch 09:51 * Genji nods. 09:51 chris probably an item then 09:50 Genji hmm...... 09:50 zico Genji: but, there is no patron there!!! :( the patron r empty 09:49 Genji sounds like you do have some patrons using that branch, zico. 09:49 zico mysql + #1451 - Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails 09:49 kf koha foundation meeting today? 09:49 zico this error came 09:49 zico chris: i tried to delete..but 09:47 magnusenger biblibre++ 09:47 chris its just adding the other 20 09:47 chris biblibre have already done 80% of it 09:46 magnusenger way to go! ;-) 09:46 chris library types can use sru, the rest of the world can have a restful api 09:46 magnusenger this is one huge advantage Koha has over the proprietary systems here in norway! 09:46 chris yep 09:46 magnusenger the more ways to get at the data the better! 09:46 chris yeah you have to enable sru/sw and put it on a public port 09:45 magnusenger yeah, the functionality is probably there 09:45 chris so its probably very lttle time to do it from ilsdi 09:45 chris and you can download dc, mods extra from the opac 09:45 magnusenger on the server? 09:45 chris yep, but it does mean running a separate service 09:44 magnusenger which isn't all that hard, i think? (at least compared with understnding marc ;-) 09:44 chris but its close 09:44 chris which is not as arcane as z39.50 09:43 chris yeah but you have to understand SRU 09:43 magnusenger come to think of it though: SRU can return dc, marcxml, mods, rss2, rdfdc and utils formats *today* ;-) 09:43 chris app engine is pretty neat 09:42 chris yep 09:42 magnusenger wave bots *have* to run on Google App Engine, which can only get things from 80 and another port i forget... 09:42 magnusenger good point! 09:41 chris which means less mucking around with firewalls ;) 09:41 chris also, i like that its on port 80 09:40 magnusenger (and of course i agree wholeheartedly that we shouldn't expect people outside libraries who want to play with our data to learn marc!) 09:39 chris since we have code to do that already elsewhere in the opac 09:39 chris currently koha just returns marcxml, but it could do mods, or more usefully for a lot of people dublin core 09:39 magnusenger any other formats? 09:38 magnusenger ah 09:38 chris if you want it to 09:38 magnusenger but it looks like at least GetRecords returns marcxml too? 09:38 chris you make it more likely they will use it 09:38 chris if you give them an api that doesnt force them to have to learn that 09:37 chris magnusenger: 99% of the world doesnt care about SRU or MARC in any form 09:37 Genji so..... uhh... its just due to misinformation, that liblime is able to bring people into LEK? 09:37 chris magnusenger: while that might sound good to librarians 09:37 chris but enough about LEK, i shouldnt have brought it up, its pointless to talk about it, we cant do anything about it 09:37 magnusenger chris: but SRU is just a call to a URL too, and you get MARCXML in return... 09:36 chris already has way more 09:36 Genji there might come a time when koha has all the features of LEK, and more, eh? 09:35 chris yep, but ils-di is a webservice and a published one 09:35 chris Genji: no one knows, only if liblime's clients refuse it i think 09:35 magnusenger (as long as it's turned on, of course) 09:35 magnusenger but impleneting search through SRU shouldn't be too hard either? 09:35 magnusenger ok 09:34 chris click on one, and it gives you instructions and example output 09:34 chris yup 09:34 magnusenger chris: the linked bullet points are implemented, i guess? 09:34 Genji Will we see the end of LEK someday? 09:34 kf new acq (I think they have to pay more to use GetIt?) 09:33 kf and there is a lot more :) 09:33 Kivutar the new offline circulation is nice too (for 3.4 ?) 09:32 chris *nod* 09:32 kf I think 3.2 will have many nice features not available in lek csv output, batch editing/deleting of items... :) 09:32 chris that page explains all the things it can do, some not implemented yet, but i plan to implement search for it 09:31 magnusenger didn't know search was a part of it! 09:31 magnusenger i've heard about ils-di, but not looked into the details 09:30 chris liblimes proprietary fork of koha 09:30 Kivutar chris: what is LEK? 09:29 chris a neat feature missing from LEK 09:27 chris Kivutar did most of it i think, and its neat 09:27 chris check that out 09:27 chris http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl 09:26 chris have you seen ils-di? 09:26 chris but using that api you could build something for wave very easy 09:26 chris search hasn't been implemented yet, i will implement it as part of the work on the bot 09:26 chris its what SOPAC uses 09:25 chris koha's restful api, thats how it does the authen, and gets the borrower data etc, it can also place holds, renew items etc 09:24 chris ils-di 09:24 magnusenger how do you implement the search? Against SRU or Z39.50? 09:24 chris not yet, it used to with 2.2 09:23 magnusenger Does the search work? 09:23 magnusenger chris: thanks! I havn't really got the time to play with it now, but i'd really like to do it anyway... ;-) 09:19 imp :) 09:18 chris but its git clone git://git.workbuffer.org/git/kohabot.git 09:18 chris ah sorry 09:17 imp fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly 09:17 chris thats all 09:17 chris at the mo you can authenticate as an opac user, and find out what books you have out 09:16 chris im still working on it, rewriting it to use ils-di 09:16 chris but its git clone git://git.workbuffer.org/kohabot.git 09:16 chris you wll need to tweak it a lot to make it work for you 09:14 magnusenger chris: head not quite working... what is the url for cloning the bot?
