Humidity: 54%. Dew Point: 8.0�C. Pressure: 29.96 in 1014.4 hPa (Steady). 01:18 braedon|work chris_n: are you around? 02:06 Jo Chris N - are you about 02:06 Jo need help with labelmaker 02:07 braedon|work hey, i'm in line firsT! 02:07 Jo elbows raedon out of the way with my big bum ;) 02:10 braedon|work what is your problem with the labelmaker? 02:10 Jo have a phonecall which i need help with 02:11 Jo Mapua library - wanting to generate and print out barcode labels from 3.0.0.2 02:11 Jo and its not working 02:13 Jo right, well then I shall sit patiently and wait in line - behind Braedon - for Chris-N to come cak 02:13 Jo back (even) 02:16 braedon|work haha, no no, go ahead of me 02:16 braedon|work i hacked around mine anyway 02:16 braedon|work it is more of a bug report than an ask for help 02:18 braedon|work the scaling and positioning of barcodes in the patron card creator(and probably in other labels that use barcodes) is rather broken if the number is too small. So i added a million to each number - thankfully the library is still at a stage where it can do that 02:29 Jo this is a small volunteer library in mapua (nelson - NZ) lloking for help. 02:30 Jo way beyond my skillset unfortunately 02:34 braedon|work what are the details of the problem? I may possibly be able to be of some assistance (but probably not) 02:36 * masonj waves from kapiti 02:50 Jo braedon: they need to generate and print out a sheet of barcode labels to stick on books. 02:51 Jo starting from a completely manual system 02:51 Jo they have the system up and running - z39.50 working etc. 02:51 Jo can create records - but need sheets of barcodes to do the next thing (sounds easy :) 02:56 cj tao po 02:59 braedon|work Jo what are they up to? 02:59 braedon|work what have they tried? 03:02 * chris_n wanders back in 03:02 chris_n Jo: 3.0.0.2... is there any way they could upgrade to something more recent... 3.0.5 maybe? 03:03 chris_n braedon|work: scaling has been busted for a while for very low numbers 03:03 chris_n which is a good reason to go with large numbers :-) 03:04 chris_n actually scaling foo is a bit challenging with the way the PDF::Reuse barcode stuff is written 03:04 chris_n so it may stay that way for a while longer 03:04 braedon|work chris_n: i figured you would know, but thought it should bring it up jsut in case 03:05 braedon|work s/it/i/ 03:05 chris_n there is actually a bug for it and someone did some work, but what works for small numbers will most likely have the opposite effect on large ones 03:05 braedon|work s/jsut/just/ 03:06 chris_n Jo: we just did 7k labels with the label tool and most of them were in early versions of 3.0.x 03:07 cj is there a script/utility to migrate data from koha 2.2.3 to 3.0? 03:08 Jo hi chris_n 03:08 chris_n cj: check the scripts in misc/migration_tools/22_to_30 03:08 chris_n hey Jo, what sort of problems are they having? 03:09 Jo Chris_n : I shall ask. The other option is that they have a teeny tiny budget and could pay someone to generate a file for them to just print off. 03:09 cj where can i find that chris_n? in my local server? 03:09 Jo I don't know exactly.... but I have the lady's email address. 03:09 chris_n cj: and also installer/data/mysql 03:09 chris_n cj: yes 03:10 Jo wondering whether it is the same problem Braedon might be having ... bet they tried to start from 1 or something like that 03:10 cj thanks chris.. ill check 03:10 chris_n it may be 03:10 chris_n the barcodes scale very large it seems when small numbers are used 03:10 chris http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30&s[]=update 03:10 Jo would you be willing for me to put her in direct contact with her? 03:11 chris_n Jo: sure 03:11 Jo ok - thank you :) 03:11 gmcharlt hi chris - is will on #koha? 03:11 chris_n Jo: chris.nighswonger at gmail.com 03:11 chris nope, ill tell him to get on when he gets to his desk tho 03:12 gmcharlt nothing urgent 03:12 gmcharlt just wanted to welcome him 03:13 chris_n braedon|work: the algorithm for scaling the barcodes is based on how wide the bar pattern is 03:13 braedon|work chris_n: well, there is really two issues as far as i can see. first is the positioning of the smaller barcodes, or rather all barcodes - the issue gets increasingly less pronounced as you increase the barcode size. The other is barcodes being stretched to a fixed percentage of the card, which looks rather bad and seems to cause issues with barcode scanners (for me). Wouldn't have a clue about the first from what i read of the code, but the latter sho 03:13 braedon|work uld be able to be solved by calculating an optimum width for reading instead of stretching, and then handling barcodes that have optimum widths greater than the card seperatly 03:13 chris_n roughly speaking, height is inversely proportional to width 03:14 chris_n what flavor of barcode are you using? 03:14 braedon|work code39. nothing else seems to work 03:14 braedon|work not that i know what the others are supposed to do... :p 03:14 chris_n I've never had a problem with code39 reading 03:15 braedon|work it was for numbers like 2 03:16 chris_n I can understand that, though 03:16 chris_n om 03:17 braedon|work om nom nom? 03:17 braedon|work (sorry, too much tf2) 03:17 chris_n hehe 03:17 chris_n bug 2409 is the one for that 03:17 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2409 normal, P3, ---, amirseni@gmail.com, ASSIGNED, Patron card barcode overrun on short numbers 03:17 chris_n feel free to submit any hackary you find works better with both small and large numbers 03:18 cj i'm having an error while executing this command "perl update22to30.pl" ---> Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC 03:19 cj not really familiar with perl 03:19 braedon|work have you set the enviromental variables? 03:20 braedon|work something like this: 03:20 braedon|work export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml 03:20 braedon|work export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib 03:20 braedon|work particuarly the latter 03:20 braedon|work check with: 03:21 braedon|work echo $PERL5LIB 03:21 cj oks 03:26 braedon|work those variables are required for any Koha command line scripts to run.

The only perl work i have done is a script to mass search z39.50 servers, that i wrote a month or so ago. I can write my own basic scripts, but don't really have the knowledge of the more advanced language features to know enough of what is going on in Koha code to make any changes, if that makes se 03:33 braedon|work nse 03:34 braedon|work i'm more of a python person :) 03:34 rhcl_home python++ 03:34 chris_n np, it is on the list to do 03:35 * chris_n and snakes do not get along well ;-) 03:35 braedon|work i really should do more work with perl though 03:36 braedon|work "python" actualy refers to monty python, not the snake 03:36 braedon|work the logo is misleading :P 03:37 rhcl_home but the book "Programming Python" by O'Reilly did have a snake on the cover 03:37 * braedon|work enjoys reading the python manual for the monty python sketch references 03:37 chris http://go-to-hellman.blogspot.com/2010/02/branches-of-koha.html 03:37 rhcl_home kind of a play on words 03:37 chris_n so will Python answer "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" 03:38 braedon|work dunno, but there are at least two examples in the manual that write code that effectively reenacts that sketch 03:38 rhcl_home emacs probably has a built-in function template to answer it 03:39 braedon|work from wikipedia(must be true!): "An important goal of the Python developers is making Python fun to use.

I'll believe it when I see it. 13:43 jdavidb howdy, schuster! 13:44 jwagner Hey schuster, based on gmcharlt's message about your patch -- are you working in a git branch, or did you just copy the files to a different directory? 13:49 schuster hey ... I'm learning and attempting to deal with my vendor situation to come up with a workaround to submit the patches. 13:51 gmcharlt schuster++ 13:51 jwagner I can sympathize with the learning business -- I still only know the basics of git myself. But it looked like you might have been trying to work in a new directory off master rather than creating a git branch. 13:52 jwagner Ask jdavidb how many times I tried editing in master rather than in a branch :-( 13:53 * jdavidb was about ready to tattoo "use git status!" on the back of jwagner's hand. But enough harrumphing and growling, and she learned. :) 13:53 schuster The system I was doing my editing on is a test system of 3.2 that I pulled and followed the directions so either way if it was a branch or Master didn't matter to me. I then transfered the files to a live server to make the actual git transfer, and pondered about the problems I was creating... 13:57 jwagner See, I'm luckier. I just get to ponder about the problems I'm creating for jdavidb :-) 13:57 nengard hello from under 2 feet of snow!!! 13:58 jwagner But maybe gmcharlt or jdavib can talk you through setting up a branch on your live server, before you try copying your modified files to their proper directories to remake the patch. 13:58 jdavidb Hi, nengard. We had another foot yesterday, on top of the two feet from the weekend. It's drifted up as high as my bedroom windows. 13:59 jwagner Hi, nengard. Is that 2 feet of new snow? 13:59 nengard jwagner - no - 2 feet total 13:59 nengard thank god! 13:59 jwagner We'll send you some of ours, then -- probably 3 feet or more outside right now. 14:00 schuster jwagner and jdavidb gmcharlt - well I'm going to attempt to "trick" the git on my "old" test server and hopefully when PTFS takes over I will have a better feeling for what and how this can all get setup. 14:00 schuster Snowing in Dallas this morning we have about an inch expecting 3... 14:00 schuster @wunder 75074 14:00 munin schuster: The current temperature in Brookview, Plano, Texas is 0.7�C (7:45 AM CST on February 11, 2010).

I will find a way!!! 15:14 owen schuster: I saw that discussion but didn't pay very close attention 15:16 * owen wonders if openncip.org belongs to PTFS now 15:19 * jwagner feels compelled to remind people that NOTHING belongs to PTFS yet.... 15:19 jwagner except our current stuff, of course :-) 15:20 owen Thanks jwagner of course you're right 15:21 jwagner Future tense for all speculation, please :-) 15:21 * wizzyrea wonders if openncip.org will belong to PTFS in the future... 15:21 jwagner Beats the heck out of me -- I'm not familiar with the discussions.... I can ask but don't expect a quick answer. 15:22 schuster I did let certain powers that be know that LL owned that url. 15:24 Colin Unfortunately there's not much ncip on openncip 15:26 jwagner NASA-TV++ #just watched a pretty launch of an Atlas rocket with the Solar Dynamics Observatory. 15:33 owen nengard++ for Bug 4164.

I hope the winds will have died down by then. 15:49 jdavidb It's breezy here, but the snow has stopped moving around, mostly. 15:53 schuster Texas looks better all the time... ;) 15:54 jdavidb Hmpf. Tahiti sounds even better. Probably have better Internet than I do right now, too. 15:57 jwagner On the noon news yesterday, the weather guy just said that during the last five winters combined, the DC area got 48 inches of snow. So far this winter we're at 50+ inches. 15:58 jwagner I wonder if I can squeeze in a March vacation to Florida for spring training.... 16:03 chris_n jwagner: that's global warming for you 16:33 moodaepo @wunder 56001 16:33 munin moodaepo: The current temperature in Mankato, Minnesota is -16.0�C (10:15 AM CST on February 11, 2010).

How do I test performance? 16:45 gmcharlt well, initially, with a stop watch 16:46 gmcharlt if the page takes 5 seconds to render now, but takes 15 seconds after you make your change ... 16:48 schuster DON"T DO IT! if it takes longer!!! 17:08 * chris_n finds FF irritating today >:-( 17:10 owen Anyone know what "stack underflow:tags stack is empty" means? I'm getting it from opac-shelves.pl 17:13 gmcharlt it means that there's an exact /tmpl_loop or /tmpl_if that doesn't have a mate 17:13 wizzyrea so sad, http://blogs.liblime.com/developers/ died when you left, gmcharlt :/ 17:14 gmcharlt just means that I have the last word, for now ;) 17:14 wizzyrea hehe 17:14 * jdavidb laughs really loud at the error message he just got... 17:15 jdavidb "error: did you mean `--amend` (with two dashes ?)" (Of course I did.) 17:15 * wizzyrea giggles 17:16 jdavidb Hi, wizzyrea! I've missed ya this week. 17:16 wizzyrea we have missed you too 17:16 wizzyrea hope you didn't get too cold. 17:16 jdavidb Power was out Saturday and most of Sunday. Saturday night was quite chilly; the apartment was down to about 50F before the lights came on. 17:17 wizzyrea brrrr 17:17 jdavidb yes. Our normally un-cuddly angry feline was even cuddly. (which, since he is 16 lb of angry, made sleeping even harder...) 17:22 jdavidb I've read through a whole *month's* supply of trashy romance novels. Briefly debated coding a whole redesign to Koha's MARC engine on a VirtualBox (or on my Eee), but decided to nap instead. 17:23 owen Well I hope it was a good nap ;) 17:23 wizzyrea fingers were too cold probably 17:24 jdavidb Several good naps, owen. 17:25 jdavidb @quote random 17:25 munin jdavidb: Quote #34: "<chris> oh except that time .. when katipo decided to write an ils just for fun, then forced HLT to use it" (added by gmcharlt at 02:23 PM, September 16, 2009) 17:30 kf @quote random 17:30 munin kf: Quote #2: "<jwagner> Hope springs eternal in little kitty hearts.

So if I was editing replacement cost, it would put the data I specified for replacement cost in the next column after it 17:52 wizzyrea yep, that's how it was broken for me 17:52 wizzyrea I changed an itype, put the new itype in the field above, and it changed the right thing 17:53 wizzyrea so close to working... 17:53 kf bye #koha 17:53 wizzyrea bye cait 17:53 owen wizzyrea: I chatted with someone at Biblibre about it and I don't think we got very far, far enough to think it might be USMARC-specific 17:55 wizzyrea is there a formal bug that you know of? I didn't see one 17:56 * wizzyrea is happy to file one 17:56 wizzyrea it works but for that one (hopefully tiny!) thing 17:57 owen I don't think there is a bug report wizzyrea 17:58 wizzyrea with MARC21 records the changed field ends up changing one field after/below the intended field. 17:58 wizzyrea is that accurate? 17:59 wizzyrea or USMARC, I guess 17:59 gmcharlt ah, that explains what I saw when I glanced at it for all of 10 seconds yesterday 17:59 wizzyrea !! what did you see? 18:00 * wizzyrea is in an eric carle book: release manager, release manager, what did you see? 18:00 gmcharlt tried to change both homebranch and holdingsbranch, only one got changed 18:00 wizzyrea yea, that would do it 18:00 wizzyrea I tried to change an itype, and it put it in the public note 18:00 wizzyrea when I put the itype code in the field above itype, it changed the itype 18:01 wizzyrea (just like I wanted) 18:01 wizzyrea ok, filing this bug. 18:08 wizzyrea bug 4169 18:08 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4169 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Batch Item modification tool is off by one field 18:11 wizzyrea do those screenshots make sense? 18:12 gmcharlt yep 18:14 joetho_away I couldn't get it to work yesterday but I didn't think to look at different fields 18:14 joetho_away hmmm 18:15 joetho_away I wondered if there would be problems with marc, since they don't use marc in france, correct? 18:16 joetho_away this is a very important feature to libraries 18:16 joetho_away IMO 18:16 gmcharlt joetho_away: sure they use MARC in France 18:16 gmcharlt the UNIMARC flavor, not MARC21, however 18:16 joetho_away that and the merge bibs using virtural shelflist 18:17 joetho_away that's what I meant 18:17 joetho_away I knew they didn't use marc21 but wasn't sure what they DID use 18:17 joetho_away *virtual 18:21 chris people seen this ? http://www.esilibrary.com/esi/newsitem.php?id=126 18:25 jwagner Congrats to Equinox & gmcharlt 18:25 fredericd chris: Now, yes. 'The Equinox Promise'. I have faith. 18:26 chris yep, tis good news 18:26 chris gmcharlt: will atz be helping you with koha stuff? 18:27 chris_n Equinox++ 18:28 chris_n very nice 18:28 gmcharlt chris: some, I'm sure, though he'll continue to focus on Evergreen coding for now 18:28 chris cool 18:31 * chris goes to get ready for the day, bbiab 18:32 chris congrats equinox and gmcharlt 18:32 gmcharlt thanks! 18:32 brendan "We hope this initiative will help promote cross-community cooperation 18:32 brendan and sharing between the Evergreen and Koha communities. There is so much 18:32 brendan in common between these two communities and so much to be gained. 18:32 brendan As always, thanks for your support." 18:32 brendan from an email from Brad to the Evergreen mailing list 18:32 * brendan likes 18:39 Sjeffery Is there a way to add a default value to cataloging framework fields? I can't seem to find it form the administraiton menu. Is it hardcoded somewhere? 18:39 fredericd chris: I'm looking misc/translator scripts and the whole process of generating .po files. Is the version number appended to .po filename required? Still required with git? 18:40 schuster Sjeffery - some of it is did you have something in particular you wanted to code? 18:46 Sjeffery My thought is to have default values in some fields so that our non-catalogers would have a better idea of what is supposed to go in a field and how it is supposed to be formatted. Maybe there is a better way than default text? For example: The 086 subfield which indicates the source/system will almost always have the exact same value for us. 18:46 Sjeffery Everything else in Koha looks good, but that MARC-based input screen will be a nightmare to train our people on (working on getting a migration to Koha approved at our library right now). 18:48 chris fredericd: no, not required, but i do find it handy sometimes .. but no with git and different branches, not required at all 18:48 chris Sjeffery: you can do it with authorised/authorized values 18:49 * chris is off to http://baacamp.org/ today, so cant explain properly but someone will be able to tell you how to set that up 18:49 * chris goes to finish packing 18:49 Sjeffery Figures:) 18:50 jwagner Sjeffery, look at Home � Administration � MARC Frameworks � Framework Structure � Tag 086 Subfield Structure � Edit subfields constraints , then click on display more constraints for a particular subfield. You can enter a Default Value, or tie the subfield to an authorized value pick list. 18:51 jwagner You'd have to create the authorized value list separately. 18:52 Sjeffery Aha, great. I was in a slightly different menu. 18:53 Sjeffery I tihnk what I am going to do is create a framework for brief records with only half a dozen fields, all with example default text filled in. That way, in theory, anyone should be able to figure it out. 18:55 jwagner Sjeffery, that will be a LOT of work -- it's difficult to either create a framework or strip one down. Have to do it one field at a time :-( I did some work in that direction for one of our sites, but didn't complete it (they decided they didn't want it). 18:58 Sjeffery I'm just going to call that job security and not think about it for a while. 18:58 jwagner There's optimism for you! 18:59 Sjeffery Would you happen to know the method to do a dump from Koha used by OCLC to do a batch holdings update? 19:00 jwagner I don't, but various people were talking about that the other day. Don't know if there is any method yet. 19:02 gmcharlt Sjeffery: there's a MARC bibliographic export tool under Tools 19:04 Sjeffery That is probably it. I don't know how OCLC does it, just was curious. 19:04 owen It would be appropriate to use Perltidy if I find a script that uses a mix of spaces and tabs for indentation? 19:05 chris_n owen: please do 19:06 chris_n just submit the tidy as a separate patch from actual code work 19:06 owen I'm happy to if you can tell me how it's done :) 19:08 chris_n owen: just run perl tidy on foo.pl and then commit foo.pl create a patch and off you go 19:09 owen chris_n: There aren't any particular options I need to set for it? Just run it? 19:09 chris_n om 19:11 gmcharlt owen: the file xt/perltidyrc (sp?) has the canonical options 19:11 owen gmcharlt: I have no idea what that means 19:12 gmcharlt owen: ok, lemme try again 19:12 gmcharlt :) 19:12 gmcharlt from the koha root 19:13 gmcharlt perltidyc --pro=xt/perltidyrc name_of_file_you_want_to_tidy 19:14 gmcharlt that creates a new file with a .tdy extension, which you can then check and move into place 19:14 gmcharlt alternative, add a -b switch to edit the file in place; that will create a backup with a .bak extension 19:17 owen gmcharlt: "perltidyc" or "perltidy" ? 19:17 gmcharlt sorry, just perltidy for the command 19:25 wizzyrea chris_n: just looked through the label creator; you, good sir, deserve a medal. It's beautiful. 19:26 wizzyrea everything I tried worked perfectly 19:26 chris_n wizzyrea: tnx :-) 19:26 jwagner I think we need Good Citizen awards, to give to people who make these nice major contributions :-) 19:26 wizzyrea Yes... I agree 19:26 chris_n I have two outstanding issue, which I hope to fix over the weekend or early next week 19:27 wizzyrea Maybe as part of the 3.2 release notes :) 19:28 joetho_away the label development is also very important to librarians 19:28 joetho_away thanks to chrisn 19:28 joetho_away chris_n ++ 19:29 joetho_away @karma chris_n 19:29 munin joetho_away: Karma for "chris_n" has been increased 37 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 37. 19:29 jwagner chris_n++ 19:29 joetho_away @tenbucks chris_n 19:29 munin joetho_away: Error: "tenbucks" is not a valid command. 19:29 chris_n hehe 19:29 joetho_away well the thought was there 19:35 biglego Okay I've been playing with the following files trying to get a new tool link to appear 19:35 biglego intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/tools/tools-home.tmpl 19:35 biglego intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/tools-menu.inc 19:35 biglego I've edited existing stuff I've added my own stuff and no change 19:35 biglego On a hunch I renamed them and the tools page still appears in my web browser. Obviously my tools page is not generated from where I think it should be. Ideas suggestions? 19:36 wizzyrea erm, did you duplicate your templates? 19:36 wizzyrea are you using the right set? 19:36 wizzyrea (in the sysprefs) 19:36 seneca Does anyone know if there is a way to renew all patrons at once? 19:37 bigbrovar Hi guys.. is there a way I can configure the internet aware tools in koha to work on an intranet server behind a network proxy 19:38 * wizzyrea is not aware of any "Batch renew" functionality 19:38 wizzyrea *batch renew *patrons* 19:38 wizzyrea internet aware tools such as z39.50? 19:39 wizzyrea owen: the interface looks *really* good. You have been busy, and it shows. 19:39 owen Thanks wizzyrea! 19:39 wizzyrea I think 3.2 is shaping up quite nicely 19:40 * owen has gone down a rabbit-hole of template changes today which seems to be getting deeper 19:40 wizzyrea yikes 19:41 bigbrovar wizzyrea: yeah 19:42 seneca Hmm... then I'll ask my other question: 19:42 seneca When I have new accounts made automatically from my LDAP source upon patron login, it creates their account but does not give them Expiration dates 19:43 seneca therefore, the account can't check anything out. Any ideas why this happens? 19:43 biglego wizzyrea where at in sysprefs? 19:43 wizzyrea biglego: 1s let me find the name of the pref 19:44 seneca I don't think this was the behavior before I recently upgraded, but I can't find any setting for it that might have been changed. 19:44 wizzyrea appearance -> template 19:44 wizzyrea by default it's prog 19:44 braedon|work seneca: you could do a "batch renew" manually with sql 19:44 seneca hmm 19:44 seneca do you happen to know the table, column? 19:45 braedon|work not off the top of my head 19:45 * wizzyrea should clarify, there's no web interface way to batch renew 19:45 braedon|work would guess borrowers table 19:45 seneca I'll go looking - thanks! 19:46 chris ok back for a little bit at work, before the taxi to the airport 19:47 bigbrovar Hi guys.. is there a way to set up the internet aware tools in koha to work on an intranet server behind a network proxy (squid) 19:47 biglego wizzyrea i'm on 3.04 i have theis "template" "Define the preferred staff interface template" in system preferences -> admin, but no appearance 19:50 richard hi 19:50 braedon|work bigbrovar: you would need to configure the proxy to let the services you need through - not much you can do from the tool end (assuming the proxy is any good at what it does). What is the proxy set to let through/block? 19:52 bigbrovar braedon|work: well all internet traffic http(s) and ftb have been routed to go through an http_proxy server. so port 80 has been blocked from the firewall 19:53 bigbrovar braedon|work: the only way to connect to internet is to setup the proxy in my env or configure the internet app to use the proxy. (if it has such settings) 19:54 braedon|work is the proxy acting as a gateway to the internet? ie, does all traffic on any port have to pass through it z39.50 19:54 braedon|work oops, ignore the z39.50 19:54 bigbrovar braedon|work: exactly 19:54 braedon|work ok 19:55 bigbrovar braedon|work: the proxy is the gate way to the internet 19:58 bigbrovar braedon|work: so any tip? 19:59 braedon|work the servers you are connecting to with z39.50 determine the port you need to use, obviously. I don't see an easy way around it other than asking your sys admin to allow access through the proxy on the ports required, for the conputer you are using 20:00 braedon|work you could set up a tunnel to a computer you control past the proxy, but that requires the proxy to allow ssh 20:00 brendan @wunder 93117 20:00 munin brendan: The current temperature in Northwest Goleta, Goleta, California is 15.5�C (11:54 AM PST on February 11, 2010).

Hopefully language doesn't come into play 20:35 biglego right now I'm using <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="CAN_user_tools_inventory" --> 20:37 owen biglego: You're adding a new tool, is that right? 20:37 biglego yeah 20:37 gmcharlt biglego: there's a bit more to it - http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2010-February/005541.html - is an example of what's need to create a new permission 20:38 owen the other option being it could share the same permission as another tool if it made sense 20:38 owen ...but I guess each Tool has its own now hunh? 20:42 biglego well at 3.04 the userflags table is a little bare, so I think I can skip that hunk of intimidation pasted by galen 20:42 * gmcharlt is always glad to oblige ;) 20:43 * jdavidb tries to imagine a "hunk of intimidation" from gmcharlt, and fails his saving throw. 21:20 chris_n bbl 21:30 Jo chris - can i ring you ? 21:30 chris yep 21:36 wizzyrea can anybody speak to the kind of load a, say 10-15 minute hold queue generation schedule would incur? 21:37 wizzyrea on a collection with 30 libraries and 600k+ items 21:37 wizzyrea (god... 30... really? wow!) 21:38 chris no idea sorry 21:53 schuster What do you mean by a 10-15 minute hold queue generation? 21:54 wizzyrea i mean regenerating the hold queue every 15 minutes 21:55 wizzyrea so when you click on hold queue for your library it's been maximum 14 minutes since it was generated 21:56 schuster hmmm guess this is a standard cron job that generally only runs once a day? 21:58 wizzyrea or twice a day 21:58 wizzyrea at least in our case 21:58 wizzyrea there are some funny things caused by timing/ignoring holds from the pick list 21:58 wizzyrea that I think might be mitigated by running the hold queue more often 21:58 wizzyrea but it would probably not be optimal for performance >.> 21:59 chris what you could od 21:59 chris do even 21:59 chris is run the holds queue on a slave db, and make koha use it 21:59 chris for that report 21:59 chris but that would involve trickery 21:59 wizzyrea gl getting that setup in our state of the art cloud environment 22:00 wizzyrea (even though that would probably make it easier to do) 22:00 chris heh yeah 22:00 wizzyrea I can concieve of a method of doing it in EC2, but I don't have the keys to our system (literally) 22:01 wizzyrea i like trickery >.> 22:04 schuster mines set to run ?hourly 52 in the cron job. 22:05 wizzyrea I think we might have started out running it that often... not sure why we stopped 22:05 schuster On my test system it took hardly no time to run so I don't think it would be a huge performace killer. 22:05 wizzyrea yea, you'd be a good test case, you have zillions of items :) 22:05 schuster And if you are clouded performance isn't your issue! 22:05 wizzyrea you would think that... 22:06 wizzyrea we have more issues than they like to admit 22:06 schuster I've messed with my system if you remind me on Tuesday I can restore it and run it again. we have 1.2 million items, but not everyone is doing holds. 22:07 wizzyrea I'm going to have to think more about what I discovered today about the holds 22:08 schuster You have those fancy holds patches as well that I may not have... that may impact this as well. 22:08 wizzyrea most of those are in community, 3.0.5 I thought 22:08 wizzyrea certainly we had all of that done by last june 22:09 wizzyrea I was verifying that http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3595 22:09 munin 04Bug 3595: normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Items seen at checkin should always go to 1st priority hold 22:09 wizzyrea was still a problem 22:09 wizzyrea and it is 22:09 schuster How nice for you...

I'm working on getting a 3.2 instance up and running with a copy of my production database and maybe that will be done tomorrow. 22:10 wizzyrea we are at 37 on our production 22:11 wizzyrea but I was playing in 117 22:11 schuster I can't remember if I got local holds or not that you are talking about. Seems like I got some but not all? I'd have to go back and look again. I don't think I got everything as localholds is still an issue for us. 22:11 wizzyrea it's still an issue for us too 22:11 schuster well - off to drive in the snow - 30 minutes any bets on how long it will take me to get home tonight? 22:11 wizzyrea some things still don't work very well 22:11 wizzyrea but I believe all are reported as community bugs 22:11 schuster Driving to work this morning - snow not frozen - 45 mpg zone people driving 20... augh... 22:12 wizzyrea yikes 22:12 wizzyrea schuster: we haven't gotten the fixes that were promised us to be done in september. 22:12 wizzyrea for local holds 22:12 schuster tomorrow will be the true test how frozen things are in the morning... you will probably hear a lot from me as I am betting school will be called and then Saturday it is supposed to get up to 50 degrees - wet and mushy... 22:13 wizzyrea mmmm mushy 22:13 schuster yes I have paid for things that I have not gotten yet either... has someone talked to John Yokely from your institution about that? Make sure they are on the development list to be done. 22:13 wizzyrea idk, my boss has a list of concerns that he is sending 22:14 wizzyrea i'm sure stuff we've paid for and not gotten is on it 22:14 wizzyrea as well as "for god's sake don't make us do LEK" 22:15 schuster well off I go! 22:15 wizzyrea gl 22:15 wizzyrea drive safely :) I'm sure you will :) 22:27 braedon|work how often does the "install_misc/ubuntu.packages" list get updated? i have quite a few additions for master 22:30 braedon|work or perhaps it would be better to ask: Who manages the ubuntu install guide, and package list? 22:30 chris whoever sends patches to it :) 22:30 chris its a free for all 22:31 braedon|work ok 22:31 braedon|work i may have a go once i have done some more testing 22:31 chris cool 22:31 braedon|work damn perl dependencies. i hates them! 22:32 wizzyrea gmcharlt was going to update the documentation for perl modules that have changed since 3.0 22:32 braedon|work ok 22:32 braedon|work perhaps i can just send him what i found 22:33 gmcharlt braedon|work: please, do, or post to bug 411 22:33 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=411 minor, P2, ---, paul.poulain@biblibre.com, RESOLVED FIXED, Supplier ID referenced on Search page but shown no where 22:33 gmcharlt bug 4151, rather 22:33 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4151 blocker, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Document new perl modules for those upgrading 22:33 braedon|work ok, will do 22:35 braedon|work git master is still on 3.2 dev correct? haven't split it off to start on 3.4 yet? 22:37 gmcharlt correct 22:37 braedon|work swt 22:37 braedon|work just checking :) 23:05 braedon|work gmcharlt: added a coment to bug 4151 23:05 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4151 blocker, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Document new perl modules for those upgrading 23:06 Jo can someone point me to latest version of the 3.2 manual please. 23:07 Jo have found this one on kete.org: 23:07 Jo ignore me please - I found it 23:07 brendan I think this should be the most recent, http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/ 23:12 Jo thanks Brendan. 23:13 Jo I wonder who we would need to talk to to get koha.org updated to pint to the koha-community.org site :) 23:13 brendan surething thank nengard++ 23:13 Jo point to (even ...) 23:13 brendan jo pint's sound better right about now :) 23:14 Jo goodness gracious: that nengard is a powerhouse ... does she ever sleep? 23:16 Jo getting out laptop to display manual while i work the new/improved admin / setup in 3.2 to see whats new/improved :) 23:46 Genji hiya all. 23:48 braedon|work hi there 23:49 Genji question, getRecord retrieves results async'ly... meaning server 1's results could get processed after server 2's results are processed by the ZOOM::event while loop, correct? 23:53 Genji so to try and tack the second query results under the first query results could end up with the second query results on top of the first query results?
