I have the ISBN numbers, can I somehow get the "official" data of a book? (I am not a librarian, but a software developer…. ;) 11:04 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 7346] 'perl translate install' creates template directories for invalid languages <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7346> 11:09 mbalmer huginn, I tested your diff, it works. 11:11 magnus_afk mbalmer: huginn is a bot, trying to be helpful ;-) 11:11 mbalmer I see, LOL ;) 11:11 magnus_afk if you test patches you might want to sign off on them: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sign_off_on_patches 11:13 magnus_afk to get media info into koha you might want to have a look at http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/cataloging.html#addbibrec 11:13 mbalmer gosh, that git signoff procedure is complicated ;) 11:14 magnus_afk nah, you'd get the hang of it pretty soon i'd think 11:14 mbalmer I use git in other projects, too. 11:14 magnus_afk that's an advantage! 11:14 mbalmer problem could be: I tested the diff on a release, but need to sign off in -current 11:15 magnus_afk yeah, current master is best for doing proper signoffs, i guess 11:16 magnus_afk but just adding a comment saying "this worked on 3.6.1" or similar would be a good thing too 11:20 mbalmer bah, I think I accidentally created a branch. 11:21 mbalmer what is the name of the "master" branch? 11:23 magnus_afk um, just "master" 11:23 magnus_afk http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master 11:24 mbalmer <- lost in git 11:26 magnus_afk you lost master? 11:26 mbalmer I lost my mind, I think ;) 11:26 magnus_afk hehe 11:26 mbalmer how do I delete a branch? 11:27 magnus_afk git branch -d branchname *i think* 11:28 magnus_afk yeah, looks like it 11:28 magnus_afk it might tell you yo have to use -D 11:28 mbalmer yes that works. but I created accidentally the branch 'translate', and apparently I am currently in that one. how do I change back to the master branch? 11:28 magnus_afk git checkout master 11:30 mbalmer yep, that worked. thanks 11:30 magnus_afk no problem! 11:36 mbalmer woah, I have no idea how do this git thing... 11:36 mbalmer maybe someone smarter should do it ;) 11:37 mbalmer locally committed the diff, but how can I get the patch against the master branch? 11:38 magnus_afk hm, what are you trying to do? 11:39 mbalmer sign off a diff. 11:39 magnus_afk oops, time for me to wander off again - see ya later! 12:35 jcamins_away Anyone who uses UNIMARC around? 13:08 jcamins I don't suppose anyone is around who can help me troubleshoot the sudden appearance of multiple content-type lines in my git patches? 13:14 jcamins Never mind. 13:14 jcamins Figured it out. 13:17 mbalmer I now go read the Git book, seems about time I understand it a bit better 13:18 jcamins mbalmer: which git book? 13:19 mbalmer Version Control with Git 13:19 jcamins mbalmer: ah, that's a good one. :) 13:20 mbalmer I read it once, but the mayhem I caused to my repo this morning clearly showed I did not fully understand it ;) 13:20 mbalmer and since I want to fix a few things, I need it. 14:55 mbalmer my git repo is now ahead of the master branch by 2 commits (but no changes), can I somehow reset that? 14:57 jcamins mbalmer: if you didn't mean to make any changes, I'd just create a new branch: 14:57 jcamins git checkout origin/master 14:57 jcamins git branch -D master (assuming that's what the branch you inadvertantly committed to was called) 14:57 jcamins git checkout -b master origin/master 14:58 * jcamins is in a getting rid of stuff kind of mood, though, so you might not actually want to delete the branch. 14:58 jcamins ;) 14:59 mbalmer jcamins, that worked, thanks! 14:59 mbalmer <- will never commit to master again 15:02 jcamins Wise. :) 15:03 mbalmer well, I should have know better, using git on freedesktop.org as well, plus on another project ;( 15:27 mbalmer who are the good folks working on PostgreSQL support for Koha? 15:28 jcamins mbalmer: I think that was you volunteering. 15:28 jcamins mbalmer++ # for taking up a neglected task 15:28 mbalmer it has always been the database of my choice, since 1995... 15:29 jcamins Database independence would be awesome! 15:29 mbalmer And I am very close to the dev team, see my many talks on it ;) 15:29 mbalmer the biggest handicap right now is that I don't know perl, and really don't feel to much like learning it. 15:30 mbalmer to me it's a write only language, no one can read that code…. 15:30 mbalmer ok, ymmv ;) 15:30 jcamins mbalmer: we prefer to call it WORN. ;) 15:30 mbalmer hehe ;) 17:04 cait hi #koha 17:05 mbalmer hi cait 17:05 cait hi mbalmer 17:06 jcamins Hi cait. 17:06 wahanui Hi cait. are you looking at the rwc final? 17:06 cait forget hi cait. 17:06 cait and hi jcamins :) 17:10 * jcamins just disbound two massive course packets and is currently scanning them in so that he can throw out the physical volumes. 17:11 mbalmer is there a mailing list that mails out git commits? 17:11 jcamins mbalmer: yes. 17:11 trea mailing list? 17:11 wahanui mailing list is at http://koha-community.org/support/koha-mailing-lists/ 17:12 cait we have a list for almost everything :) 17:12 jcamins That one is koha-commits. 17:12 jcamins There's also koha-patches if you want to see proposed patches. 17:12 cait bugs is also interesting 17:12 mbalmer cait, like NetBSD, then 17:12 jcamins And koha-bugs for following the bugzilla. 17:13 cait there is a german list too 17:13 jcamins And koha-devel is a must if you're doing any development. 17:13 cait but there the traffic is very very low 17:13 jcamins Also a French list. :) 17:13 jcamins And maybe a Spanish list? 17:13 cait I still encourage you to subscribe, in hope it will get better 17:14 mbalmer I need koha-pgsql :> 17:14 jcamins mbalmer: you'll have to get Koha using a database abstraction layer for that, first. 17:14 jcamins Discussions about implementing that would go on koha-devel. 17:15 mbalmer abstraction layer _OR_ two interfaces to choose from 17:15 cait mbalmer: thx for the bug report :) 17:15 jcamins mbalmer: abstraction layer is better. 17:15 mbalmer jcamins I beg to differ 17:15 jcamins mbalmer: take a look at the code, then repeat that statement. 17:15 cait mbalmer: I think there was an attempt to do that 17:15 cait but the problem is we might have some mysqlisms in the code right now 17:16 mbalmer pgsql support would be a longer term project anyways. 17:16 cait installer/data/Pg is outdated 17:16 jcamins mbalmer: two interfaces would only work if there were some sot ofrtf of centralized database access. 17:16 mbalmer but if we want to jump on the wagon, it is a must for us. 17:16 cait jcamins: ?? 17:17 cait what's between of and rtf? 17:17 mbalmer jcamins, way to early to dicuss this, keep in mind that I have no understanding of the koha codebase yet. 17:17 cait mbalmer: there are some bigger projects going on for code cleanup and performance at the moment 17:17 cait i think noone has started on the abstraction layer yet 17:18 cait mbalmer: I am looking at 7346 :) 17:18 rangi actually the mysqlisms are pretty much confined to the. sql files now 17:19 jcamins Yikes. 17:19 cait it's good if you obsolete the original patch after attaching the signed off patch 17:19 jcamins Wireless is very screwed up. 17:19 jcamins That was supposed to be "some sort of centralized database access." 17:19 jcamins bug 7346 17:19 cait and thx for signing off :) 17:19 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7346 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, frederic, NEW , 'perl translate install' creates template directories for invalid languages 17:19 cait mbalmer++ 17:19 jcamins Ah. 17:19 jcamins rangi: "mostly." 17:19 rangi yep, very few left over and easy to kill 17:20 cait heh 17:20 cait and good morning rangi :) 17:20 * jcamins imagines Black Knight-like MySQLisms. 17:20 rangi naw they aren't hard to kill 17:20 jcamins "It's just a flesh wound." 17:20 rangi or even needed 17:20 jcamins "No it's not, you're arm's off." 17:20 jcamins "Chicken! Chiiiccckkkeeennn! Bawk bawk!" 17:21 jcamins "Tell you what, we'll call it a draw." 17:21 rangi and DBI is the abstraction, what is needed is a better schema 17:21 mbalmer I am almost sure I would also introduce some PostgreSQL-isms. If you want to take advantage of DB, you almost have to. 17:21 mbalmer else you can only use the lowest common denominator of all supported databases. 17:22 jcamins rangi: I didn't realize that C4::Context wasn't using the MySQL interface directly. 17:22 rangi and thats why abstraction layers suck 17:22 cait jcamins: monty python? 17:22 jcamins The commands are pretty much identical to the C MySQL interface. 17:22 jcamins cait: yep. 17:22 cait yay :) 17:22 cait I got it 17:23 rangi its using dbi and dbd::mysql 17:23 rangi could be dbd::pg too 17:23 jcamins rangi: so in other words, that's not a direct MySQL interface. Cool. 17:25 mbalmer imo, a good implemetation offers interfaces to databases and takes advantage of the respective database. although I see not a single positive aspect for the use of MySQL ;P 17:25 * mbalmer is a PostgreSQL guy 17:25 rangi mbalmer: koha used psql first 17:25 rangi but mysql far outperformed it 17:25 rangi that was in 99 tho 17:26 rangi postgres has got a lot faster 17:26 mbalmer oh yes 17:26 mbalmer and not only that 17:26 jcamins Only 23 articles left to scan. 17:26 * rangi works with a postgres developer 17:26 mbalmer with whom? 17:30 rangi mark Kirkwood 17:31 rangi we use postgres for most things 17:35 mbalmer I see. Yes, we use it heavily for mission critical stuff (point of sale) 17:35 mbalmer so data integrity and safety is paramount, sth that is not given with mysql 17:36 rangi yep 17:37 rangi we use it for electoral roles and the like 18:29 cait mbalmer: i got your mail? 19:08 mbalmer cait, it's a simple diff. 19:08 cait I see that :) 19:08 mbalmer did I miss the attachment? 19:08 cait only wondered why you sent it to me :) 19:09 mbalmer I had no better address to send it to. and I saw that you have commit acces, that's why ;) 19:09 mbalmer opening a PR for an 'n' seemed like overkill, tbh... 19:10 cait ah 19:10 cait nobody has commit access :) 19:10 cait or only the rm has 19:10 cait to be more precise 19:10 cait PR? 19:11 mbalmer problem report, aka bug. (term we use in NetBSD, sry) 19:11 cait np 19:11 cait I am not very familiar with other open source projects 19:12 mbalmer I am living in this cabal forever ;) 19:12 cait the normal procedure is that we open a bug, put the number in the patch and send it to koha-patches 19:12 mbalmer ok, I try to follow that 19:12 cait it's easier to track things this way, but you are right that it seems a bit silly for small things sometimes :) 19:13 cait but still it's helpful 19:13 mbalmer sounds a bit overengineered for little typos, though 19:13 cait what you can do 19:13 cait is open a bug 19:13 cait for "typos in documentation" 19:13 mbalmer but then, I might create a typo branch and do a collective patch once a year ;) 19:13 cait so next time... there will already be a bug number you can use 19:14 cait and for working with bugzilla git bz is a nice addition to make your life easier 19:14 cait git bz? 19:14 wahanui well, git bz is so much fun :) 19:14 cait hm wahanui, that's not so helpful 19:15 cait wahanui: git bz is also http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration 19:15 wahanui okay, cait. 19:15 cait wahanui botsnack cookie 19:15 wahanui thanks cait :) 19:17 mbalmer can Deutsche Nationalbibliothek be queried from Koha using z39.50? 19:20 cait hm 19:20 cait I am not sure 19:20 cait if they have an open z39.50 server for marc21 19:21 mbalmer afaik, the only have sutrs 22:47 dani Hello 23:26 eythian http://awfullibrarybooks.net/?p=15083 23:29 eythian @later tell jcamins_away do you know if Koha can do "see also" sort of authority stuff? So you can put abbrevs in and it'll search for the full expansion and know about it due to the auth records. 23:29 huginn` eythian: The operation succeeded. 23:29 eythian I wonder if that made any sense in English. 23:39 jcamins_away eythian: I do know, and the answer is "no." 23:39 eythian OK, ta
