Time  Nick        Message
00:22 slef        and we're back
00:22 brendan     yay!
00:23 slef        http://debian.koha-community.org being demo'd
00:23 sekjal      it's awesome.  can't wait to play
00:23 brendan     ah cool I've mucked with it a little bit
00:24 brendan     seems pretty awesome
00:25 wizzyrea    it's pretty epic
00:27 sekjal      so, now that we have a .deb package, time to revisit TurnKey Linux?
00:27 wizzyrea    rather looks that way doesn't it
00:28 slef        sekjal: whassat?
00:28 wizzyrea    http://www.turnkeylinux.org/
00:28 sekjal      we can create a fully functional Koha appliance
00:28 sekjal      download, and run on VM or burn to disc and load on a machine
00:30 slef        why not just build a livecd with the debs?
00:30 slef        why run it on amazon's saas?
00:30 wizzyrea    it doesn't have to be run on amazon
00:30 wizzyrea    it can be downloaded to a CD iirc
00:30 wizzyrea    maybe not anymroe
00:30 wizzyrea    more*
00:32 slef        it looks a bit risky, given that libs seem freedom-ignorant sometimes, but support needs freedom to be sustainable
00:32 slef        also a 2008 ubuntu?
00:33 wizzyrea    the original time we visited it was probably in 2008, afaik nobody's looked at it since then
00:33 wizzyrea    at least I haven't
00:34 slef        me neither... not sure how we'd resource this... might it become stale like win32?
00:34 wizzyrea    depends on whether the packages stay up to date I guess
00:38 slef        they won't stay up to date by themselves... it  needs to be resourced and maybe automated
00:38 wizzyrea    yep, catalyst has the charge on that atm I think
00:39 slef        yeah but someone needs to make/maintain/test the turnkey thing?
00:39 wizzyrea    oh oh yes
00:39 wizzyrea    sorry I misunderstood
00:40 slef        np
00:43 wizzyrea
00:43 wizzyrea    oops
00:46 slef        Prof. Prasad, DRTC, Bangalore has created a LiveCD with Koha-3.02.00 &
00:46 slef        DSpace-1.6.2 integrated with Ubuntu 10.4.1 LTS version. This LiveCD was
00:46 slef        distributed to all the participants. This LiveCD will be uploaded to
00:46 slef        Sourceforge soon.
00:46 slef        from the dbj college workshop report
00:47 slef        someone with a decent keyb want to reply poitively to that
00:48 slef        ?
00:52 sekjal      is this on the list?
00:53 wizzyrea    blast missed owen again
00:53 laurenthd   slef: cant see that email you point
00:58 slef        sekjal: yeah, main list I think... 1mo

01:25 sekjal      I'm up after Donovan.  Anyone willing to blog me?
01:25 sekjal      It's going to be a much less techie talk than previous.
01:25 sekjal      hopefully that'll be alright
01:26 slef        so is this guy not liking our current style guidelines?
01:27 slef        hrm, apparently not
01:28 wizzyrea    oh, I don't think he's saying that, just wanting us to not wipe the history
01:28 wizzyrea    understandable
01:28 slef        the CG wiki page is only partial... rest is on kohadocs
01:29 wizzyrea    should probably be moved/rewritten
01:29 nengard     sekjal i'll do it of course
01:29 slef        maybe, yes
01:29 slef        cmon sekjal give us an uplifting talk!
01:30 sekjal      I think Donovan just wants us to have a more rigourous set of rules... or at least think about whether we want to
01:31 slef        I feel a bit like I've had 2 talks saying we're doing stuff wrong or should be running neater code in the cloud
01:31 sekjal      thanks, nengard!
01:31 slef        we have thought about whether we want to
01:31 sekjal      hopefully my talk won't be complete fluff
01:32 nengard     i might have to come take your seat to blog effectively
01:32 slef        stumbling block is making it easy for people
01:32 wizzyrea    bug 2505
01:32 munin       04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2505 major, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, enable Perl warnings in all modules and scripts
01:32 sekjal      I'm going to stay seated, since I've got such an optimal spot
01:32 slef        why is that NEW not ASSI?
01:32 wizzyrea    no clue
01:33 nengard     anyone know how to delete a subset of urls from your firefox browser history-i don't want to wipe it all, just urls that are no longer valid -- aka koha.org
01:33 gmcharlt    because while I am certainly doing some work on that bug (see my bug2505), I assuredly hope that I'm not the only one working on it
01:33 laurenthd   slef: it has been there for a while.
01:33 gmcharlt    gcollum has done rather a lot with that, of course
01:33 nengard     yeah that's a problem with bugzilla
01:33 laurenthd   slef: it can be nearly closed.
01:34 gmcharlt    laurenthd: that's a little optimistic - work on that bug is at most 50% done
01:34 nengard     slef++
01:34 nengard     koha.org gone from history
01:34 nengard     no more clicking the wrong link
01:35 laurenthd   first time ever someone tells me i am optimistic
01:35 laurenthd   ;)
01:35 wizzyrea    lol
01:35 magnus      hehe
01:35 slef        mmm, I thought last time I tried to enforce a rule (sql placeholders), laurenthd flamed me, but maybe I misremember
01:36 slef        oh goody an OReilly advert
01:36 * slef      would shoot most of the animal books if he could
01:37 wizzyrea    ooo
01:37 wizzyrea    are you feeling a bit stabby, slef?
01:37 slef        you know the crack in time in Dr Who? that erases stuff from history?
01:37 slef        tip ORA in it
01:38 magnus      my office shelf would be rather empty, then...
01:38 magnus      as well as my head ;-)
01:38 gmcharlt    laurenthd: but certainly we can make a good bit of progress for 3.4, if not close it outright
01:38 slef        magnus: yeah, they dominate perl in particular
01:39 magnus      yep
01:39 slef        it's bad for perl, being dominated by one gatekeeper
01:41 brendan     sekjal++ #for a good presentation coming :)
01:41 cait        sekjal: what is your presentation about?
01:42 sekjal      Possible directions for Koha 4.0
01:42 slef        It's not like we need more tools to whinge at us. We need more tools to help us fix stuff.
01:42 magnus      slef++
01:43 laurenthd   gmcharlt: I agree.
01:44 laurenthd   slef: which patch ?
01:44 slef        I'm seriously temopted to go off and butcher the wiki to remove stuff, but I want to hear sekjal's forward-looking talk.
01:45 slef        laurenthd: something back in 2.x
01:45 nengard     sekjal has a ton of awesome ideas
01:45 cait        sekjal: cool!
01:45 nengard     sometimes we have reign him back into the present :)
01:45 laurenthd   butcher the wiki ?
01:46 slef        like debating patron/member/borrower
01:46 magnus      just don't butcher any kiwis! ;-)
01:46 slef        I'm pretty sure we decided to use ODLIS terms by default a while ago?
01:47 slef        maybe that decision was lost in the wiki move
01:47 gmcharlt    slef: yes, I believe so
01:47 laurenthd   The problem is that when you look at the code, it still has scars of old times.
01:47 slef        so why debate it again? round and round and round
01:49 jcamins_a   I am not sure if it's because I'm tired or because y'all are also talking, but I cannot follow this conversation at all.
01:49 slef        jcamins_a: a load of questions ave been added to the end of the wiki coding guidelines page
01:50 chris       They've been there for a year or so
01:50 chris       Well before the move at least
01:50 slef        chris: anyone mention them on-list or in-meeting?
01:51 chris       Not sure
01:51 chris       It was a long time ago, I think biblibre started
01:51 slef        I struggle to read list mail comprehensively, let alone RecentChanges
01:51 wizzyrea    jwagner is going to try and point out that a bunch of these are already out via harley
01:51 wizzyrea    newsflash: half of them don't work
01:52 brendan     heh
01:52 slef        wizzyrea: shall I heckle? ;-)
01:52 chris       Why stop now ?
01:52 jcamins_a   A bunch of what?
01:52 jcamins_a   I should just wait for nengard's excellent blog post, shouldn't I?
01:53 slef        jcamins_a: a bunch of sekjal's suggested featuress
01:53 * cait      waves to jcamins
01:53 slef        sekjal is speaking in the room
01:53 wizzyrea    lol
01:54 jcamins_a   Ah.
01:54 * jcamins_a waves to cait
01:54 cait        :)
01:54 nengard     jcamins_a writing now - i yelled at brendan for interrupting me
01:54 brendan     I'm good at interrupting ;)
01:54 slef        "rebuilding holds: primary key, multiple holds per title, suspension and netflix-style queue, cost matric for hold fulfilment by transfer from branches, bi-directional linked list v numeric queue"
01:55 jcamins_a   nengard++ # because without nengard, us poor sleepy USians wouldn't have a clue what was going on
01:55 slef        shall I continue typing in the slides?
01:55 nengard     also sekjal did some posts this AM too - see twitter
01:55 slef        or I could try streaming it to bambuser.com if you want it
01:55 jcamins_a   No, I should probably go to sleep anyway.
01:56 jcamins_a   But kohacon is just so interesting.
01:56 jcamins_a   nengard: I'm reading those posts now.
01:56 slef        "rebuilding notices: make all printed slips use templates, priority order for notifications, on-demand messages, librarians can decide which notice types are mandatory and
01:57 slef        which are user-configurable, better sms/im support"

01:58 cait        I will write the next
01:59 jcamins_a   Koha 4.0 is going to be awesome! :D
01:59 laurenthd   http://github.com/xercode/koha
01:59 wizzyrea    i think having a message template for sms would be epic
01:59 cait        two tabels: accoutns and accountlines, atomic transactions, syspref for grouping transactions by item or type, pay partially  on multiple charges, multi-currency (real time exchange rates)
01:59 laurenthd   maybe we could try that C4::Mailer
01:59 slef        "rebuilding accounts: accounts and accountlines, atomic transactions, syspref for grouping transactions by itemor by type, pay partially on multiple charges, multi-currency with real-time exchange rates"
01:59 laurenthd   could help.
01:59 slef        oops
02:00 slef        I was wrtie-only
02:00 slef        write-only
02:00 cait        I think it would be neat, if you could choose for notices if you want to send them by email or print them (overdues especially)
02:00 cait        ah sorry slef, thought we could take turns :)
02:00 wizzyrea    again, ptfs says they do that
02:01 slef        only improvement sekjal could make is to have cool animatuions (explode accounts into two tables) instwad of ppt bullets
02:01 slef        cait: you next?
02:01 slef        sorry for not reading
02:02 cait        yep· can do it :)
02:02 cait        I was not clear about it
02:02 slef        tyvm

02:04 magnus      could someone please help sekjal with his "infinite time" project? ;-)
02:05 wizzyrea    lol
02:05 chris       wizzyrea: patch or it didn't happen is the answer to that
02:05 brendan     infinite_time++

02:05 jcamins_a   infinite_time++
02:05 magnus      infinite_time++
02:05 paul_p      1000mn per hour would be a good start (infinite_time being probably unreachable ;-) )
02:06 * cait      wants more time to learn to program these things!
02:06 gmcharlt    magnus: I'll help if I can get somebody to help with cloning ;)

02:06 wizzyrea    let me rephrase: PTFS would say that those features exist but we haven't pulled them
02:06 wizzyrea    How's that.

02:21 brendan     thanks all for posting your thoughts :)
02:21 sekjal      :)
02:22 sekjal      back to blogging....
02:22 slef        we suck for cgi being the default still
02:22 chris       Yeah we need to fix that
02:22 slef        and for leaving people to configure apache
02:23 slef        no, we need to be clean for persistance (=enable performance) but not force it.
02:24 slef        Why's it so hot in the hacklab?
02:24 wizzyrea    it's not warmish over here
02:24 * slef      moves

02:25 nengard     slef behind me - got to make sure i don't type about him
02:25 nengard     :)
02:26 wizzyrea    you might get less than a metaphorical slap with a trout
02:26 wizzyrea    er more than
02:26 slef        nengard: is that why you're sat right up blocking the screen?

02:27 nengard     did i spell that right?
02:27 slef        mmm, here we go... cgi is default, so we must know stuff all about performance

02:28 wizzyrea    you missed sekjal's epic "dreams for koha" talk
02:28 darling     chris, yeah, house org to prevent jj from killing me before we head off

02:28 wizzyrea    (features we would like for koha, crazy ideas, etc)
02:28 * darling   will be around tomorrow tho
02:29 slef        robin-: ssl: yeah, well, it's not a real proxy, so no ssl cert
02:29 darling     ah -- I still need to catch up w/current koha
02:29 nengard     is owen here? he might like http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ - he loves firebug
02:29 darling     is pretty dreamy already
02:29 darling     yslow's cool
02:29 slef        robin-: you have ssh+socks to something outside, I'm sure
02:30 wizzyrea    @quote add <darling> I still need to catch up with current Koha. Is pretty dreamy already.
02:30 munin       wizzyrea: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
02:30 wizzyrea    noooo
02:30 robin-      slef: can't be bothered setting it up on my phone:)
02:30 chris       slef: don't take it so personally this first day is more for the newer developers
02:30 gmcharlt    @quote add <darling> I still need to catch up with current Koha. Is pretty dreamy already.
02:30 munin       gmcharlt: The operation succeeded.  Quote #101 added.
02:30 darling     !
02:30 wizzyrea    there you go
02:30 wizzyrea    maybe I didn't read that right lol
02:31 gmcharlt    @quote get 100
02:31 munin       gmcharlt: Quote #100: "chris: well, one of them is overhauling the whole templating system jcamins: Koha's other swiss army chainsaw" (added by wizzyrea at 03:41 PM, October 11, 2010)
02:31 wizzyrea    that was a funny day
02:31 laurenthd   NYTProf as perl profiler
02:31 wizzyrea    @quote get 23
02:31 munin       wizzyrea: Quote #23: "<gmcharlt> /msg munin register nick password" (added by wizzyrea_ at 12:25 PM, August 06, 2009)
02:31 slef        paul_p: I think we have fcgi or speedy in places, but koha needs more cleaning to use more
02:31 * laurenthd nods
02:31 paul_p      chris, agreed, /me really hoping tomorrow & sunday will be more decision oriented days !
02:31 paul_p      slef, agreed !
02:32 jwagner     To clarify wizzyrea's comments beginning at http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2010-10-29#i_528527 -- I actually made no comments at all during sekjal's presentation.
02:32 chris       It will be, but ppl came from solomons and pakistan for this, nice to have stuff for them too
02:33 jwagner     Considering how many people in the room know that,I'm disappointed that no one pointed that out.
02:33 slef        chris: why don't ppl look at the work already done? => less time repeating our work, more time to try helpful stuff
02:33 jwagner     I thought sekjal had a lot of good ideas.  We've done some work in some of those areas, but certainly a lot more could be done.
02:33 paul_p      chris, agreed ! (and I learned some things today anyway, on PostgreSQL for example)
02:33 chris       Because its scattered and old and mostly broken
02:34 slef        scattered ack
02:34 chris       At least my stuff is now broken
02:34 slef        old mmm koha does not move as fast as sekjal's lovely ideas
02:35 paul_p      slef : back to infinite_time ;-)
02:35 slef        broken? not when I try stuff from old list posts, but YMMV
02:35 brendan     unless we all git clone oourselves
02:35 nengard     @later tell owen you might like this - it was talked about at the hackfest http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/
02:35 munin       nengard: The operation succeeded.
02:36 slef        paul_p++
02:36 gmcharlt    nengard: pretty sure he knows about it - http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=463#comment-363
02:37 nengard     of course he does!!!
02:37 nengard     should have known
02:37 nengard     @later tell owen i have been corrected - you already know about it :)
02:37 munin       nengard: The operation succeeded.
02:37 slef        maybe hackfest talk requirement should be "tell most everyone one new thing"
02:38 slef        munin: tell owen I just felt left out not messaging you.
02:38 munin       slef: Error: I haven't seen owen, I'll let you do the telling.
02:39 chris       And he comes the author of xml::simple and a bunch of other modules we use
02:40 chris       He=here
02:40 nengard     munin is funny
02:40 munin       nengard: Error: "is" is not a valid command.
02:40 slef        most everyone is in the talks room, almost no collab hacking today
02:41 slef        anyone want a sweetie?
02:41 laurenthd   slef: do you want us to go somewhere ?
02:41 darling     question for recent travellers -- should I haul my gigantic but useful 4core laptop w/me on my next north america visit (sunday) or my pocket sized but elegant email checker netbook with the 6hr battery life? I'll have lot's of bored time visiting relatives and loads of separate flights.
02:42 brendan     wow giants blow it open 6-0 same inning
02:42 wizzyrea    hmm. You have a smartphone that will work in the states?
02:42 chris       Its all hacking all the time tomorrow
02:43 chris       I'm conserving energy :)
02:43 darling     wizzyrea,  -- if I can get a sim card, yeah
02:43 wizzyrea    then I"d pack the big lappy, and use the phone for the little stuff.
02:43 slef        laurenthd: is there stuff we could hack?
02:43 darling     wizzyrea, good idea
02:43 darling     sold
02:43 slef        darling: triband+edge?
02:43 sekjal      my apologies, all, but I've got to duck out of the room for a phone call
02:43 darling     was kind of the answer I wanted
02:44 darling     quad band I think
02:44 sekjal      I really REALLY want to hear this one, so if everyone could take excellent notes....
02:44 chris       Its beer soon, then tomorrow I want to hack on stuff with people
02:44 wizzyrea    because it *is* nice to have your real computer with you
02:44 darling     unless that's the same as tri+edge
02:44 brendan     depends if you can charge the big-laptop on the planes though?
02:45 darling     will use my kobo on the long flights
02:45 darling     can
02:45 nengard     i never had to charge my laptop - i didn't even kill the battery while on the plane
02:45 darling     't really think on airplanes anyway
02:45 darling     wow
02:45 slef        cool thing: usb-to-phone charger
02:45 darling     my battery's good for about 2 hrs max
02:45 slef        charge the laptop while it charges the phone
02:45 nengard     darling i also didn't use it for more than 3 hours .... just fyi ... i can usually get close to 4 hours if i put the brightness down and just watch movies
02:46 darling     i'll experiment w/that
02:46 darling     slef, freaky
02:47 laurenthd   slef: I have so many things to hack on ;) Do you have any preference ?
02:47 paul_p      slef usb to phone is the rule in UE since last month (or something like that) = all cellphone must use usb standard. ecology++ & sustainable++
02:48 slef        Ok, was I just distracted by phones while he explained why this isn't like mod_perl and having to rewrite koha?
02:48 slef        paul_p: yeah, but only in size because real usb Amps is too low, no?
02:48 laurenthd   we donot have to rewrite koha.
02:49 laurenthd   descartes.biblibre.com:5000/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl for instance
02:49 slef        so that example is not the only way?
02:50 slef        I have not easy web browsing from irc just now.
02:50 laurenthd   or Phttp://git.biblibre.com/?p=koha;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/wip_Plack
02:50 * slef      tries to find that
02:52 brendan     http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koha;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/wip_Plack
02:53 brendan     the p jumped on the front for me
02:54 laurenthd   thx brendan
02:54 brendan     :)
02:54 slef        Plack::App::CGIBin
02:55 wizzyrea    lol: it's DAMN fast
02:55 wizzyrea    not just fast -- damn fast!
02:55 laurenthd   I forgot to add edits.
02:56 laurenthd   edits to apache config files.
02:58 slef        laurenthd: descartes is in maint mode?
02:59 slef        someone get bengard some glue to repair that desk?
02:59 brendan     ha
02:59 nengard     slef i agree! it's kind of annoying - but doesn't seem to bother him
03:00 paul_p      slef, hdl fixing descartes setup ;-)
03:00 slef        I'd've ripped it up and slung it by now, but that's just me :)
03:01 bengard     I'm not sure glue would do the trick
03:01 wizzyrea    i honestly can't believe how fast you are on that phone, slef. It's amazing.
03:01 bengard     it's pretty well nozzed up
03:01 wizzyrea    nozzed. Nice one.
03:02 wizzyrea    that is to say, I'm impressed, I couldn't be that fast.
03:02 slef        I need to connect the other keypad to the phone
03:03 bengard     slef is raising his hand
03:06 sekjal      alright, all done for the night
03:09 slef        bbl
03:09 brendan     later all

12:13 Amit        hi kmakale
12:13 Amit        kmkale
12:13 kmkale      hi Amit
12:48 wizzy_m     Hello peeps
12:48 wizzy_m     Can't sleep
12:49 gmcharlt    howdy
12:49 gmcharlt    spud keeping you up?
12:49 kmkale      wizzy_m: :) too many sheeps or not enough in NZ?
12:50 wizzy_m     Hehe, not the spud or the sheep
12:50 wizzy_m     Not sure what
12:50 kmkale      not enugh beer then.
12:51 wizzy_m     Orman
12:51 wizzy_m     Or too much lol
12:51 owen        Hey wizzy_m
12:52 wizzy_m     owen heya
12:59 jcamins_a   Good morning.
13:00 wizzy_m     hey jcamins
13:01 jcamins_a   wizzy_m: sorry to hear you can't sleep.
13:01 wizzy_m     its OK: )
13:01 * chris_n   thinks gmcharlt must be running a one-man hackfest ;-)
13:01 wizzy_m     my son is giggling in his sleep
13:01 jcamins     My cat spent several hours this morning flicking water in my face, so I can kind of relate (of course, in his defense, I really should hae been awake by then).
13:01 jcamins     s/hae/have
13:02 braedon|h   ... what was the water source?
13:03 jcamins     The glass of water I keep by my bedside.
13:03 kmkale      now that thje office is empty I can really work. Or chat ;)
13:03 braedon|h   who can work when there is an internet to explore?
13:03 kmkale      hehe
13:04 wizzy_m     hope you kbow where those kitty feet have been
13:04 braedon|h   or sleep, for that matter, in my case
13:04 owen        braedon|h: Like this? http://xkcd.com/386/
13:04 braedon|h   o, those were the days
13:04 braedon|h   arguing with idiots on IMDB
13:04 kmkale      :)
13:05 * braedon|h spend nigh on 2 years in the Primer forums
13:05 owen        :D
13:05 owen        I considered doing that after finally(!) seeing Donnie Darko.
13:05 owen        ...last week.
13:05 braedon|h   hehe
13:06 braedon|h   the problem with DD is that it doesn't actaully make sense
13:06 braedon|h   it is rather mystical
13:06 braedon|h   and most of the director's explanation has little to no backing in the actual film
13:06 owen        Yeah, I wondered if it made sense if I thought harder about it
13:07 braedon|h   makes it very hard to actually make logical arguments
13:07 braedon|h   Primer, on the other hand, makes perfect sense, on a number of different complexity levels
13:07 braedon|h   quite a feet of storytelling
13:07 braedon|h   feat*
13:08 jcamins     Ummm...
13:08 jcamins     This is odd.
13:09 braedon|h   more cat antics?
13:09 jcamins     Shouldn't we be installing the DOM module for Zebra?
13:09 jcamins     Ouch.
13:09 jcamins     We're using a deprecated module for Zebra?
13:10 braedon|h   hasn't DOM been replaced by something else by default?
13:10 braedon|h   or something...
13:10 jcamins     braedon|h: no, DOM is supposed to be the replacement, for authorities.
13:11 braedon|h   o, really?
13:11 braedon|h   my bad
13:11 jcamins     Does the package install Zebra?
13:11 jcamins     It must.
13:13 jcamins     Okay, now I'm more confused.
13:15 jcamins     @later tell brendan ByWater's website seems to be down.
13:15 munin       jcamins: The operation succeeded.
13:16 wizzy_m     ooo i thought it was the dns hee
13:17 wizzy_m     here
13:17 jcamins     Nope, looks like the database is down.
13:17 jcamins     Or they've been slashdotted.
13:17 * jcamins   goes to check if they were mentioned on slashdot
13:17 wizzy_m     could be that
13:17 wizzy_m     brb
13:18 wizzy_m     ok back
13:19 wizzy_m     well thats a bummer can u check the bywater hosted demo too plz?
13:19 owen        Working
13:19 jcamins     Demo's up.
13:19 wizzy_m     cool.
13:52 wizzy_m     ok going to give this sleeping thing a go. ttyl; )
13:52 owen        From this side of it the sleeping thing looks pretty good
14:31 owen        Hi rhcl
14:36 rhcl        hey owen
15:52 brendan     sorry about that
15:52 brendan     bywater's website should be back up now.
15:57 owen        Hi dafydd
15:57 dafydd      Hi owen
15:58 dafydd      Just set up my own Koha install at home - it's good stuff
15:59 owen        That's great--version 3.2?
15:59 dafydd      I think it's 3.0
15:59 dafydd      68.144.45.146
15:59 dafydd      Just two books so far
16:00 dafydd      I'm going to get my CueCat working before I add more
16:02 dafydd      BTW, are any of the SIP maintainers in here?
16:02 dafydd      I was doing an integration a month ago or so and the line-endings for logins were LF instead of CR
16:02 owen        Pretty much nobody is here right now :) Almost everyone is in New Zealand for KohaCon
16:03 owen        dafydd: I would recommend upgrading if you can. We just released 3.2
16:04 owen        But that's neither here nor there. I don't know anything about SIP
16:04 dafydd      I'll probably do that tonight
16:04 dafydd      I used Kyle Hall's VM, so I should be able to do that through the Admin Controls in root, right?
16:05 owen        Hm, maybe you just want to wait until he releases the updated 3.2 VM and migrate your database
16:06 dafydd      That'd be my first migration - that'll export my MARC records too, right?
16:06 owen        Yes
16:06 brendan     dafydd - do you have a director titled kohaclone - in your install
16:06 dafydd      sweet :-)
16:06 brendan     on the command line?
16:06 dafydd      don't know - I'm at work right now
16:06 brendan     sorry not director but directory
16:06 dafydd      I didn't have time to port-forward SSH too :-P
16:06 brendan     if you do - the VM and Koha may have been installed via git
16:07 brendan     if so you should be able to update the install using git to pull the latest 3.2
16:07 dafydd      Ah, so I can git update
16:07 brendan     there are helpful instructions on the wiki -->  http://wiki.koha-community.org

20:00 nengard     gmcharlt around?
20:00 gmcharlt    nengard: what's up?
20:01 nengard     cait saw that you removed the OrderPdfTemplate preference and she (and I) think that it's actually used ...
20:01 nengard     (catching up on a lot of emails)
20:03 gmcharlt    nengard: it is not (in 3.2); see bug 4188
20:03 munin       04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4188 blocker, P1, ---, gmcharlt, RESOLVED FIXED, Basketgroup print fails to generate a file
20:03 slef        back
20:03 nengard     cait is saying she showed it in training and it was working (not more than 3 weeks ago)
20:04 nengard     if you changed the value in that preference it showed either 2 or 3 pages
20:04 nengard     i too did this in trainig - this was of course in 3.2 beta - not 3.2 final
20:05 gmcharlt    nengard: I'm pretty you can cait are thinking of OrderPdfFormat

22:10 * cait      is a happy cait
22:10 sekjal      if anyone has experience with the httpd.conf for GitWeb, I'd be happy for an assist.  I'm vexed
22:11 gmcharlt    sekjal: go for it, what's your questin?
22:11 sekjal      well, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong
22:11 sekjal      I have a file
22:12 sekjal      but when I enable it, all my sites on the server fail
22:12 sekjal      disable, and they come back
22:12 sekjal      paste.workbuffer.org not up?
22:12 pastebot    "gmcharlt" at 74.179.111.229 pasted "site conf for a gitweb" (16 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/86
22:13 gmcharlt    sekjal: paste.koha-community.org
22:13 sekjal      ah
22:13 sekjal      thanks
22:13 gmcharlt    the last RedirectMatch likely isn't relevant
22:14 sekjal      thanks, that's the same model I've got... looking for differences....
22:20 sekjal      I think I've just done the install wrong...
22:43 * gmcharlt  is going out in search of food
22:44 gmcharlt    nengard: your patch for 5326 could be even moar better and go directly to the pref
22:44 gmcharlt    see http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2010-October/012753.html
