Time  Nick            Message
22:07 |Lupin|         okay, enough work for today good night
21:38 |Lupin|         looking for feedback about member search and the new filter feaure...
21:38 |Lupin|         someone around ?
21:14 |Lupin|         chris_n2: around ?
21:06 pianohackr|work bye
20:59 |Lupin|         pianohackr|work: oki, thanks
20:53 pianohackr|work and no
20:53 pianohackr|work |Lupin|: You could always just push that one branch
20:53 |Lupin|         pianohackr|work: and does it matter which are the active branches on both sides ?
20:52 |Lupin|         pianohackr|work: but if a new branch has been added on the repofrom where the push is done, will it be propagated ?
20:52 |Lupin|         pianohackr|work: yep...
20:49 pianohackr|work (carefully, of course, as git reset is a loaded gun)
20:49 pianohackr|work You can push, yes, though you'll have to do a git reset --hard on the other end to apply the changes to your working tree
20:48 |Lupin|         so perhaps I should push ?
20:48 |Lupin|         pianohackr|work: hmm... because the ssh access is easier in one way...
20:41 pianohackr|work cait: bye
20:41 pianohackr|work |Lupin|: Why not a simple git pull
20:40 cait            bye
20:38 |Lupin|         I'm talking about git commits, actually...
20:38 |Lupin|         how would you guys export a hundreed of patches to _one_ file you could then scp to another machine and apply to another repo ?
20:37 |Lupin|         I'm wondering
20:37 |Lupin|         :)
20:35 chris_n2        sometimes some of the sand goes away without me knowing it
20:35 chris_n2        I'm not sure where they were lost along the way, but this is after all my sandbox :-)
20:34 chris_n2        |Lupin|: I do, but sadly it was missing key tables required for updatedatabase.pl to run correctly
20:33 |Lupin|         chris_n2: too bad you do'nt have a dump of the old one...
20:32 munin           chris_n2: The operation succeeded.
20:32 chris_n2        @later tell hdl_laptop However, I cannot now test the patch you sent as there is no need to update the db
20:31 munin           chris_n2: The operation succeeded.
20:31 chris_n2        @later tell hdl_laptop: disregard the previous note; there were several bugs in the en optional datasets as well as some duplicate INSERTS in sysprefs.sql; patches submitted to fix all
20:27 |Lupin|         anybody else tried this feature ?
20:27 |Lupin|         yep nahuel is from biblibre
20:27 |Lupin|         there was a problem with date construction, and changing the date format syspref didn't solve the issue so I stopped trying, lack of time to debug
20:26 cait            but the patch I found is from biblibre
20:26 |Lupin|         cait: yeah I tried this script but couldn't make it work actually
20:26 |Lupin|         aah
20:25 pianohackr|work koha support company
20:25 |Lupin|         cait: I'm gonna see... who is ptfs ?
20:25 cait            http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2009-October/004729.html
20:24 cait            maybe I m wrong
20:24 cait            hm
20:23 cait            I saw something on the mailinglist or here, not sure, but its not integrated and i saw no patches
20:23 pianohackr|work ah
20:23 cait            I think ptfs is working on a feature
20:23 cait            lupin: ok, not the new acq module :) no, this is not integrated I think
20:23 pianohackr|work oh, I don't think anyone has submitted that...
20:22 |Lupin|         cait: recent acquisitions is a link on the main page that lets readers see what has been recently added to the catalog... has that been integrated in master somehow ?
20:21 |Lupin|         cait: hmm I'm not sure...
20:08 cait            Lupin: if recent acq stuff = biblibres new acq module, yes
20:07 |Lupin|         :-)
20:06 * chris_n2      squashes a few bugs as a small diversion from a busy schedule ;-)
20:03 |Lupin|         anyone knows if the recent acquisitions stuff has been integrated into master, pls ?
19:51 chris_n2        hrmmm... missing line terminator at the end of an INSERT in sysprefs.sql
19:48 pianohackr|work |Lupin|: ah, ok. cool
19:48 |Lupin|         pianohackr|work: actually I already did and that worked.
19:46 pianohackr|work testing_dbupgrades++
19:46 munin           chris_n2: The operation succeeded.
19:46 chris_n2        @later tell hdl_laptop running a fresh round of web installer throws this errror: "sample_budgets.sql ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'kohatest.aqbudget' doesn't exist"
19:45 pianohackr|work But you can test through a view-source
19:45 pianohackr|work Not sure on that one
19:45 |Lupin|         pianohackr|work: for the includes I think it is not necessry: the template thing can take an include path and I think Koha defines this one correctly.
19:44 pianohackr|work k
19:44 |Lupin|         pianohackr|work: ah, yes, that's what I was suspecting... anyway since I can't test al that by myself I'll copy those folders anyway...
19:42 pianohackr|work |Lupin|: I think so, yes. You might have to copy the includes, js, css and image folders over to the custom theme, though
19:42 |Lupin|         pianohackr|work: is it correct that a custom theme works by overloading the "prog" theme, so that if one doesn't like something in a file of the prog theme, one just copies it at the same locaiton in the default theme and modify that copy ?
19:33 |Lupin|         hello jesse :)
19:29 chris_n2        pianohacker|work: set building and lighting design for an upcoming drama
19:27 pianohackr|work Hi, |Lupin|
19:27 |Lupin|         hi again
19:00 pianohackr|work What's keeping you busy?
19:00 pianohackr|work Pretty good, doing server admin stuff
18:59 chris_n2        and your's?
18:59 chris_n2        busy :-)
18:58 pianohackr|work How's your weekend going?
18:58 pianohackr|work Hi, chris_n2
18:57 chris_n2        g'afternoon
18:49 Ropuch          Hm, updater seems to have some problems with budgets
17:58 pianohackr|work hello
17:58 Ropuch          Hello pianohackr|work
17:35 Ropuch          Although installer was throwing an error because of that
17:34 Ropuch          'Removing redundant coma in updatedatabase' sounds lame ;>
17:28 Ropuch          Yup
17:27 |Lupin|         but I'm not sure it's a good idea
17:27 |Lupin|         so far I was waiting til the patches were accepted inmaster
17:26 |Lupin|         actually I'm considering watching koha-patches much more seriously and examine each patch to see whether it should be applied on our branch o not
17:26 |Lupin|         :)
17:11 Ropuch          Oh, Chris has alredy sent patch for issuingrule sin updatedatabase
17:10 Ropuch          Sound quite simple :)
17:08 |Lupin|         Ropuch: finally I think the less inconvenient way I've found is to git format-patch and then modify the generated files and then git am them
16:16 Ropuch          Huh
16:15 |Lupin|         Ropuch: ok... to make things even more funyy, in the meantime I configured my git to refuse commits when there are trailing whitespaces, and I started to fix them so the patches do not apply anymore...
16:12 |Lupin|         Ropuch: well,pictures are not a good argument for me as a blind, but thanks a lot ! will give it a try anyway !
16:11 Ropuch          [;
16:11 Ropuch          Aaa, now I;m curious how to solve it
16:10 Ropuch          hm
16:10 Ropuch          Really simple and useful (pictures included ;-)
16:09 Ropuch          http://progit.org/book
16:08 |Lupin|         Ropuch: I guess merges are one thing I wanted to avoid, not exactly sure why...
16:06 Ropuch          |Lupin|: I'm newbie with git, but I'm quite sure you can fix things with some temporary branches & merge kung-fu [;
16:05 |Lupin|         :/
16:04 Ropuch          HM
16:02 |Lupin|         it's a mess I know... :/
16:02 |Lupin|         Ropuch: the problem is I'll rename the file because there is a file with same name in Koha: there is an additem.pl in Koha, I wrote another one which was called additem.pl so far, too. NOw I'd like to make things nicer, so I restored the additem.pl file as it is in Koha and added the modified version as additem-helene.pl. But now all the changes done to additem.pl willl have to be applied to additem-helene...
15:52 Ropuch          But simply renaming files looks like better solution
15:51 Ropuch          format-paych and aplly it to your current ;>
15:51 Ropuch          |Lupin|: you can always checkout to temp branch from your current one, rename the file, chery-pick patches you want
15:51 |Lupin|         I may be able to do some commits to rename the old file to the new one so that git knows about it...
15:50 |Lupin|         Ropuch: yeah but I've several commits to change and may overlook some of them, that's why I was looking for something more automatic.
15:46 Ropuch          |Lupin|: you can change the file name in patch file manually
15:45 |Lupin|         eiro: you have your domain of speciality already :)
15:45 |Lupin|         yeah git, bad typer today
15:45 |Lupin|         np eiro :)
15:45 eiro            i'm not skilled with git: sorry
15:45 |Lupin|         (foo.pl has been renames dto ba.pl but git does not know about that)
15:44 eiro            git :)
15:44 |Lupin|         'd like to cherry-pick some patches, which instead of modify foo.pl should modify bar.pl is that possible ?
15:44 eiro            g ?
15:44 eiro            Alixe and Guillaume ( 6 and 5 years old)
15:44 |Lupin|         anyone who could help with g, pls ?
15:44 |Lupin|         eiro: how many children do you have ?
15:43 |Lupin|         :)
15:42 eiro            |Lupin|, yep! familly time ... watching a movie with the children, hidden under blankets
15:24 |Lupin|         salut eiro ! :) la forme ?          
15:15 eiro            hello |Lupin|
15:14 |Lupin|         hi there
14:37 chris_n2        hdl_laptop: I'm not sure, but I'll have to add it and then re-test the patch
14:27 martinmorris    so I can just go ahead?
14:27 hdl_laptop      martinmorris: i don't think so.
14:25 martinmorris    hello, i'm upgrading to koha 3.04 but it's insisting on GD 2.39.  Do I have to install an old version of the module?
14:24 hdl_laptop      ??? How comes ?
14:24 chris_n2        bbiab
14:24 chris_n2        hdl_laptop: this might be the problem: my db does not have an 'aqbudget' table
14:18 cait            h hdl_laptop :)
14:18 hdl_laptop      But it was not really the best choice since then previous information for budgets, if any woudl have been lost.
14:18 hdl_laptop      at first, the updatedatabase paul pushed was only creation of the table.
14:16 hdl_laptop      Therefore I updated a3dfe58e014c316687f to rename that table and add the missing fields
14:15 hdl_laptop      chris_n2 table aqbudgets is the "new name" for aqbudget.
14:13 * chris_n2      worked on testing the updatedatabase patch you sent last evening
14:13 chris_n2        hdl_laptop: am I missing something or does the 'aqbudgets' table mysteriously appear between commits 6fb8ef0d79cc145e0e227a9cd8a606c50ebcea84 and a3dfe58e014c316687fffdc1a38b4c7618ba5cfc ?
14:04 hdl_laptop      hi cait
13:53 cait            chris_n++
13:39 * chris_n2      just had to post his $0.02 worth

11:13 Genji-Wireless  okay, gotta sleep. mind fading in and out. night.
11:12 Genji-Wireless  website down?
11:11 Ropuch          Genji-Wireless: take a look at the progit book, really :)
11:09 Genji-Wireless  I should be setting up my own git repo just for my own use, to manage versions. I actually have no idea how to start.
11:09 Ropuch          ;>
11:08 cait            I know that feeling
11:08 Ropuch          I should start updating some websites, but learning git while testing & fixing koha code is much more interesting
11:05 Ropuch          Whoa, it's 12 already
11:01 * cait          is working on koha + virtualbox :)
10:50 * Ropuch        is reading through http://progit.org/book
10:37 cait            Guten morgen Ropuch :)
10:32 Ropuch          Hi cait
10:28 Genji-Wireless  chris++
10:28 Genji-Wireless  Night Chris. sleep well.
10:26 chris           ok, time for sleep
10:26 chris           highly likely
10:25 Genji-Wireless  and no excuse to do so. I suspect the person that was doing this, just couldn't work out why reindexing was failing.
10:23 chris           there is utterly no need to do so
10:23 chris           yes
10:20 Genji-Wireless  What of Zebrasrv? bad idea to run as root?
10:19 Genji           back in a sec, switching to wireless.
10:19 chris           running your apache threads as root, yep that's asking to be rootkitted
10:19 Genji           no, not askign for a rootkit.
10:18 Genji           huh.
10:17 chris           or you are asking for a rootkit
10:17 chris           but its child processes should be run as much lower privileged user
10:17 chris           that has to be run as root, to bind to port 80
10:16 Genji           i know, just checking. what about the seed process of an apache multithread?
10:09 chris           running anything as root, unless you really really have to is a bad idea
10:08 Genji           I didn't do it, it wasn't me. Im the one cleaning up after it.
10:07 Genji           Right.
10:07 Ropuch          It is bad idea ;>
10:06 Genji           hey, can anyone confirm that its a bad idea having apache running as root?
09:52 chris           thats up to the release manager
09:51 Ropuch          When patches get into head?
09:49 * chris         sends another patch .. productive day
09:48 chris           Ropuch: of course .. who would sign with them if they told the truth?
09:48 chris           might be 7, no one knows
09:46 Genji           5 people you say?
09:46 Ropuch          chris: yet LL still poiints out no-vendor-lock-in as a feature of their produscts ;>
09:46 chris           seems incredibly dangerous when it runs your core business
09:46 chris           is they are now locked in to a small company, and if that company ceases to exist, they are stuck with an unsupportable product
09:45 Genji           http://www.betanews.com/article/Fire-in-downtown-Seattle-data-center-knocks-out-businesses-online-services/1246640587
09:45 chris           the main danger with LEK for libraries using it
09:44 Ropuch          That's pretty immature ;-)
09:44 Genji           Both have happened, in datacenter history.
09:44 Genji           Can't wait for their datacenter to go kablooey, or net connections broken down...
09:43 Genji           Right. Really against the spirit of gpl.
09:42 chris           hence only offering it as hosted
09:42 chris           hence why any liblime clients running koha on their own servers will not be given the opportunity to run lek, it would then have been distributed and they could also distribute it
09:41 Ropuch          Genji: that the trick is
09:41 chris           but not distributed
09:41 chris           yes
09:41 Genji           Yet LEK is gpl?
09:41 chris           recreating that work on the other hand
09:40 chris           probably could get sued
09:39 Genji           So.... a staff member of Liblime could leak the entire source of LEK, and would have no backlash from it, except possibly loosing their job at liblime?
09:38 chris           so by both counts (or by either) the point is moot
09:38 chris           2/ the code was still gpl'd just never released
09:38 chris           1/ the are working on evegreen not koha
09:35 Genji           Fixing the same problems, the exact same way, adding features to opensource, the exact same way it was added in the propietary...
09:34 chris           they were doing opensource for a long time before that, were still doing it, and left when it became clear they wouldnt be able to do it anymore ... i cant possibly see any taint
09:33 chris           how would it taint?
09:33 chris           not difficult at all
09:33 Genji           how difficult is it to leave a company that made you do propietary work, to go do opensource, without tainting your new work?
09:32 chris           yep, galen the release manager now works for ESI doing evegreen, and so does atz (joe atzberger)
09:32 Ropuch          chris: didn't know that
09:31 * Ropuch        is just reading through "Survey on open source integrated library system"
09:31 chris           yeah, thats why 2 Koha developers left liblime to work on evergreen when liblime was making them do proprietary work
09:31 Genji           Right.
09:31 chris           like Koha
09:31 Ropuch          AFAIK Evergreen is floss
09:30 chris           Evergreen is free software
09:30 Ropuch          No
09:30 chris           hell no
09:30 Genji           Evergreen is similar in philosophy to LEK?
09:30 Genji           Evergreen
09:29 Genji           One that begins with E...
09:29 Genji           one sec, maybe wrong name...
09:29 Ropuch          I'm afraid that part of libraries don't realy care if they're usuing open source or not
09:29 chris           emerald?
09:29 Genji           Whats the story about Emerald? same story as LEK?
09:28 chris           shes also biblibre
09:28 Genji           I wonder when Aspencat will say 'oops'.
09:26 Genji           So, hence the ByWater increase...
09:25 chris           heh, yeah i know who nicole is :)
09:25 Genji           http://bywatersolutions.com/?page_id=6
09:24 Genji           Nope.. but Engard, commenter 1, is ByWater

02:56 chris_n2        evening
02:52 si              that's why they measure it
02:51 si              in the formal sense
02:51 si              ohh, 63Kmh is a gale
02:49 brendan         :)
02:49 si              there's an upside to everything :-)
02:49 si              no smog though
02:47 si              http://www.wwa.org.nz/Weather/How windy is Wellington.htm
02:47 si              Wellington averages 173 days a year with wind gusts greater than about 60 km/h or 32 knots.
02:46 brendan         heh
02:46 si              according to the met service site, we have 180 days a year where the wind is over 50Kmh
02:45 si              yup, the windy city
02:45 brendan         either
02:45 * si            has no idea wither way
02:45 si              as in, are they shooting here at all, or have they finished?
02:45 brendan         don't they call wellington the windy city
02:45 si              I've no idea
02:45 brendan         do you know if they are still shooting the hobbit there?
02:45 si              there were gusts forecast to 130Kmh
02:45 si              been a pretty constant 60-80Kmh
02:44 brendan         heh - rainy here
02:44 si              windy
02:44 brendan         how's your weekend going
02:43 si              heya brendan
02:43 brendan         hey si
02:43 si              to search your history
02:42 si              or if you use bash, you can do <ctrl-r>zeb
02:22 brendan         later owen - enjoy the weekend
02:22 owen            Okay, enough zebraing for me for tonight. Thanks brendan!
02:21 brendan         instead of having to memorize that
02:21 brendan         so you can easily copy and paste - the koha-zebra-ctl.sh start command
02:20 brendan         at the command prompt, it will show you the last 300 or so commands you typed
02:20 brendan         history
02:20 brendan         is if you type
02:20 brendan         one little trick that may help you out
02:20 brendan         well for now when you turn your VM on -- just check to see if zebra is running
02:19 owen            (following the Debian Lenny INSTALL file)
02:19 brendan         looks right
02:19 owen            What I have is  /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon -> /home/oleonard/koha-dev/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh
02:17 brendan         should point you to the koha-dev file
02:17 brendan         ls -lh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-ctl.sh
02:16 brendan         what do you get when you,
02:15 brendan         you need to water, walk, and feed your zebra often
02:14 brendan         ah - that makes sense
02:14 owen            Yeah, I do see Zebra running, but I had to start the process from the command line. The daemon aparently didn't run
02:13 brendan         s/seem/see
02:13 brendan         if you seem more than one line -- your good
02:13 brendan         ps -aef | grep zebra
02:13 brendan         first I usually do this
02:12 owen            I thought that was what I was doing when I ran "koha-zebra-ctl.sh start
02:12 brendan         hmmm...
02:12 owen            Hmmm... working now. But I'm not sure whether the fast index was really failing or not, because it turns out the zebra server wasn't running
02:07 munin           brendan: Karma for "zebra" has been increased 2 times and decreased 2 times for a total karma of 0.
02:07 brendan         @karma zebra
02:05 brendan         zebra+-
01:59 owen            Remind me next time to get zebra up and running *before* I import 10,000 records
01:57 * owen          is trying it with -v
01:56 brendan         -v ( is the more verbose) meaning you'll see more information as it runs
01:55 brendan         -v
01:55 brendan         next time you run it -- try rebuild_zebra.pl -b -v
01:55 brendan         do you remember which user you identified as the zebrauser - during your install (Makefile.PL)
01:54 brendan         -w (disables the shadow)
01:54 owen            rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w
01:53 brendan         what flags are you using?
01:53 owen            I tried running it as the koha user and it finished without errors, but still no results from my search
01:52 owen            No luck running it as oleonard:  [warn] previous transaction did not finish (shadow disabled)

01:32 brendan         Genji - where in NZ are you?
01:13 Genji           Wow, ceo. cool.
01:12 brendan         http://bywatersolutions.com
01:12 Genji           brendan: what company?
01:11 brendan         how many records do you have in your database
01:10 brendan         owen - you know that's how we came up with the name for our company
01:10 owen            I'm always surprised at how long it takes rebuild_zebra.pl
01:09 owen            I have the books on the bookshelf behind me, does that count?
01:09 brendan         a little call out to NZ :)
01:09 brendan         background
01:08 * brendan       has LOTR on in the backgrounf
01:08 * owen          tries it
01:06 brendan         you may need to put a sudo in front of that
01:06 brendan         chown -R oleonard:oleonard /home/oleonard/koha-dev/var/lock/zebrabd/biblios
01:05 brendan         ok so then -- it should be something liek this
01:05 Genji           Ya, have you always run reindexing as the user that zebraserver is running on?
01:05 owen            Yes
01:05 brendan         errr... which user are you currently logged on as
01:04 brendan         are you running the command as - the oleonard user?
01:04 brendan         that a permissions issue
01:04 owen            [warn] zebra_lock_create fail fname=/home/oleonard/koha-dev/var/lock/zebradb/biblios/norm..LCK [Permission denied]
01:04 owen            I struggling with a problem I know I've tackled before: I can't get the zebra fast index to work
01:04 brendan         and also are you going to code4lib?
01:03 brendan         owen - shoot away with your question
01:03 brendan         :)
01:03 brendan         zebra usually ends up everyones friday night
01:03 owen            Hey brendan, Genji
01:03 brendan         howdy owen
01:01 Genji           Whats your question?
00:48 owen            True there are many better things to think about on a Friday night
00:46 owen            *sigh* Zebra question. Anyone?
