Or is that the 3.2 head? 07:24 robin_ chris or chris_n --^ 07:27 robin_ hmm, 3.2.x appears to have commits added after the release date 07:27 robin_ was 3.2.1 tagged or branched at some point? 07:28 robin_ ah, maybe it's v3.02.01 07:50 chris Yep that's it robin 07:50 chris The 3.2.x branch and that tag 08:03 robin_ chris: while attempting to create a bug, I got: HTTP Error 504: Gateway Timeout. 08:06 chris weird, its all up and running fine 08:06 chris i do note that tcl is screwed at the moment 08:06 chris afaik there is no gateway 08:06 chris just apache 08:06 chris wonder if it was their transparent proxy being retarded 08:07 chris or it might be something tricky that linode does 08:10 bigbrovar chris: I am told if anyone could help me configure pazpar2 and get it up and running , u could :) 08:10 bigbrovar I configured it during the compilation process of koha but I can't figured out how to get it to run or if its even running. 08:11 bigbrovar and I cant seem to find any docs on it 08:14 chris you'll have to read the docs on indexata site 08:14 chris koha doesnt make any use of pazpar2 out of the box 08:14 chris what do you want to use it for? 08:15 kmkale hey chris bigbrovar 08:16 chris hey kmkale adn you were right, that article is full of crap 08:17 kmkale that was jcamins chris 08:17 chris yep you pointed out it was wrong 08:17 kmkale :) 08:17 chris actually all the articles published on under a nonfree license about koha have been crap 08:18 chris i wonder if its causation or just correlation :) 08:18 kmkale causation imho 08:18 chris *nod* 08:18 kmkale or pre set mind 08:18 chris they are coming at it from the wrong angle right from the start 08:18 chris yep 08:18 kmkale u can find holes in *any* software 08:19 chris but you can only fix them then in free software :) 08:19 kmkale yup 08:19 kmkale whats with nz batting chris? 08:19 chris i have no idea 08:19 kmkale since the last test its gone downhill 08:19 chris they decided not to even try 08:19 bigbrovar chris: I needed it for grouping similar search results in opac. 08:19 kmkale 1st tests were gr8 08:20 chris bigbrovar: it wont work without work on the templates 08:20 bigbrovar oh ok 08:20 chris its a feature liblime started and kinda abandoned 08:20 chris i hope to have time to fix it, but wont be in the next month or 2 08:21 chris you can get it to work, but its not easy at all 08:21 bigbrovar I think I can do without it then :) 08:21 chris :) 08:21 chris i did get it going for a school here, using their koha and project gutenberg 08:21 chris but it did involve a lot of mucking around 08:24 kmkale chris working on a touchscreen kiosk for library to enable ppl to read ebooks. can u recomend any foss ebook reader software? 08:26 bigbrovar In other news it would be nice to get koha on floss weekly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOSS_Weekly its a show which talks about free software projects. evergreen was there couple of shows ago and that made me kinda jealous, although there did give lots of preps to koha. It would be nice if koha could be on the show. and its not that hard at all :) 08:26 bigbrovar all u need to do is email the presenter and he would get you on the list :) 08:27 kmkale good idea 08:32 bigbrovar yeah it would be great to have more people hear about koha. here is the link to the episode about evergreen http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/twit.cachefly.net/floss0132.mp3\ 08:32 bigbrovar yeah it would be great to have more people hear about koha. here is the link to the episode about evergreen http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/twit.cachefly.net/floss0132.mp3 08:40 chris Hmm not off the top of my head kmkale 08:40 chris Good idea bigbrovar 08:41 kmkale ya chris u should get on it 08:42 robin_ why is it the tests require a MySQL server to be running? 08:42 bigbrovar I could always get the email of Randal Schwartz the presenter of floss weekly all you have to do is mail him on the intention of getting on the show. thats all :) 08:44 chris Maybe get one of the americans, in the same timezone, otherwise I could maybe do it sometime next year 08:45 robin_ make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/koha-3.2.1' 08:45 robin_ PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 KOHA_CONF=blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/PERL_MODULE_DIR', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t 08:45 robin_ t/00-deprecated.t ................... ok 08:45 robin_ DBI connect('dbname=koha;host=localhost;port=3306','kohaadmin',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) at /tmp/buildd/koha-3.2.1/blib/PERL_MODULE_DIR/C4/Context.pm line 692 08:45 robin_ # Failed test 'use C4::BackgroundJob;' 08:45 robin_ (sorry for the paste, something funny with the network here, I can't do POSTs or something) 08:50 robin_ unfortunately this isn't telling me what test it's coming from 09:14 robin_ test 00-load.t fails, causing the build to break. But in a different way that may or may not be the same thing. 09:17 robin_ and Auth_with_cas, External_BakerTaylor, Reports_Guided, Service, Tags, UploadedFile, and VirtualShelves. 09:18 robin_ these all require database access to run, which may not exist in a test system 09:20 robin_ (more concerningly, they require a hard-coded db username/password 09:20 robin_ ) 09:38 fredericd chris: ? 09:57 kmkale fredericd: got it to work by deleting .git/rebase-apply 09:57 fredericd kmkale: well done!!! 09:59 kmkale fredericd: will deleting the .git/rebase-apply/ have any adverse effects on any further work or rebase / pull merge etc? 10:01 fredericd no, not at all. It just clean your repo. Even if it would be better to use the appropiate git command to do it (git rebase --abord) 10:01 chris robin_: it wont be a hardcoded one, it just defaults to kohaadmin if it cant find the KOHA_CONF 10:02 kmkale fredericd: the git rebase --abort failed with a reference to a really old branch in my repo 10:02 robin_ chris: the problem is that it is using the KOHA_CONF 10:02 kmkale fredericd: so I went to the man page and deleted the dir as mentioned there 10:02 chris all the 00-load.t is use all the modules 10:03 robin_ yeah, and that causes an attempt at DB access which fails 10:03 chris yep, its supposed to 10:03 robin_ it causes the tests to error out, which causes a build failure 10:03 chris easiest is just run up an empty db 10:03 chris there doesnt need to be a thing in it 10:03 robin_ hmm 10:04 chris course for the db_dependent tests to run there does 10:04 fredericd chris: could you take a look at k-c.org new Pootle and confirm it looks correct to you. 10:04 robin_ That offends me slightly :) 10:04 robin_ for reasons I can't really explain 10:04 chris well its not a real test unless it actually tests things :) 10:04 robin_ but tests should be self-contained 10:05 chris if you want to write sqllite db and change the queries that need to be changed ,.. be my guest :) 10:05 robin_ It means I have to put mysql etc onto my build system, which seems wrong somehow 10:06 chris fredericd: looks ok to me 10:06 robin_ unrelated: the battery gauge for this laptop is in the red, which means it has less than 1.5 hours of battery left, which is great :) 10:07 robin_ I'm used to that meaning it has 10 minutes. 10:08 chris fredericd: shall i set up a redirect from the old site? 10:09 chris well missing a few languages, like norwegian, ukranian, russian etc 10:10 chris http://translate.koha.org/ru/opac3_1/ 10:11 chris danish too 10:11 fredericd chris: not yet (the redirection) 10:12 chris so yep, apart from the missing languages its looking good 10:12 fredericd Yes, I'm in the process of scripting loading remaining languages 10:12 kmkale bbl 10:12 robin_ chris: ah, the problem with a persistent database depended on by tests (aside from the fact that you'll never get into Debian with that I suspect:) is that it runs the risk of making tests dependent on unrelated tests. 10:12 chris cool 10:12 fredericd I'm doing alist of active/inactive languages and will send it to koha-translate list 10:12 chris the 00 tests is only ones designed to run as git hooks 10:12 chris to make sure we dont commit modules that dont compile 10:13 chris or have conflict markets 10:13 chris markers 10:13 robin_ sure, but 'make test' runs t/*.t 10:13 chris or broken templates 10:13 chris you might have to move them out as part of your build then 10:13 robin_ it's not just them, there are others also. 10:14 chris its more important to me that they get tested by hudson and on the commits 10:14 robin_ I'm not sure what's changed that causes them to be an issue though 10:14 chris nothing 10:14 chris but the 00 ones are new 10:14 chris i bet a ton of modules werent being tested before 10:14 chris and now they are 10:15 robin_ that's probably it 10:15 robin_ My suggestion is that any test that causes a DB hit be moved to a subdir, so it's not a default test. 10:15 robin_ (I emailed to this effect, but due to odd network issues, I can't send email right now.) 10:16 chris its more that to just use some modules requires a db 10:16 chris which will mean a make test wont catch simple syntax errors 10:16 chris so its trickier than that 10:17 robin_ then they should invoke perl -c instead, maybe 10:18 robin_ although, that isn't as clean in test cases themselves. 10:18 robin_ actually, running perl -c on everything should be a test case in itself 10:18 chris yep 10:19 chris yep 10:20 * chris heads to bed 10:20 robin_ the things is a) I'm trying to avoid package-related patches if I at all can, b) they may trip up other people doing a 'make;make test', c) there was a c, I forget now. 10:21 robin_ oh, external dependecies in tests strike me as a bad idea. 10:21 robin_ cya tomorrow :) 10:26 * robin_ stops thinking about this for now. Packages will have to wait. 10:45 cait hi #koha 10:52 fredericd hi cait 10:52 cait hi fredericd 10:54 fredericd cait: could you take a look at translate.koha-community.org and tell me if your German translation is up-to-date? 10:54 cait I can try and do later, ok? 10:55 fredericd yes 12:59 Brooke that was such a good Smoke it took out the server! 13:48 ebegin @wunder montreal, canada 13:48 munin ebegin: The current temperature in Montreal, Quebec is -6.0�C (8:00 AM EST on December 05, 2010).
