I hope so. 02:15 druthb no slef, either. 02:15 Brooke the big one for this one is that we need a lot more dough from sponsorship 02:15 Brooke #help find sponsors 02:15 Brooke there's a reminder on the wiki that there are meetings on Wednesdays at 18.00 02:16 Brooke the good news is 02:16 oleonard Brooke, is there a run-down of expenses which still need to be covered? I'm just curious. 02:16 Brooke we had a boatload of papers submitted 02:16 Brooke he's got a weird skelebudget posted owen 02:16 Brooke lemme dig up the link 02:16 * druthb codes up a bigger boat. 02:18 Irma #info sponsors can be individuals or companies or libraries ... 02:18 Brooke it's on the vol page 02:18 Brooke http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon12_Volunteers 02:18 Irma #info Could/should a "donate" button be added on the KohaCon12 page? 02:19 Irma #info http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/ 02:19 Brooke already is 02:19 Brooke http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/sponsoring-kohacon12/ 02:19 Brooke :) 02:20 Irma I can't see a donate button on the KohaCon12 page 02:21 eythian It's at the bottom 02:21 Irma ahh thanks Brooke I am using Chrome 02:21 Brooke that's why they pay me the big bucks ;) 02:22 Irma and some ... 02:22 * druthb offers to double Brooke's wage for chairing the meetings. 02:22 Brooke so, I think it's a good idea to fish or cut bait on the KohaCon2013 bids 02:22 Brooke there was a flurry of interest on the listserv 02:22 Brooke but only a fraction of the folks that said they were interested posted to the wiki 02:23 Brooke #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Kohacon2013 02:23 Brooke if you want to bid please edit it ^ 02:24 Brooke the way it's gone recently is that that page gets an edit 02:24 Brooke at some point, we say alright already 02:24 Brooke Nicole's been kind enough to gen a proper ballot 02:24 Brooke that then goes out 02:24 Brooke folks vote 02:24 Brooke and hooray 02:24 Brooke anyone have problems with that procedure? 02:25 Irma #info We need a http://koha-community.org/kohacon13/ page soon to ... 02:26 Brooke okie dokie 02:26 Irma procedure is good Brooke 02:26 Brooke I'll prolly send (another) reminder to the list to edit the wiki 02:26 Brooke does closing that portion in a fortnight sound reasonable, or is that too quick? 02:27 Irma too quick 02:27 Brooke [just recalling that folks wanted a location by KohaCon, sooo] 02:27 Brooke what's your timeframe then, Irma? 02:27 Irma #info is it not important to remember that there should not be 2 Koha conferences in the same financial year. So KohaCon13 would need to be after July 2013 02:29 Irma close 2 months after KohaCon12 ... that's my current suggestion 02:29 Brooke wow. That's long. 02:30 eythian well, '11 and '12 were closer together 02:30 BobB I guess the issue is whether we want to announce the KohaCon13 venue at KohaCon12. If so, you have to close it next meeting. 02:30 Irma actually my logic is wrong as KohaCon12 will be over in the FY 2012... 02:31 BobB There are a couple of folks who can't get budget for KohaCon twice in the same financial year. That's happened with Mumbai and Edinburgh. 02:31 BobB Just something to bear in mind. 02:31 Brooke right 02:32 BobB For the US the financial year is Jan to Dec I thinK? So prolly not an issue for folks there. 02:32 Brooke no 02:32 Brooke most Libraries are Juneish 02:32 jwagner It depends on the institution 02:32 BobB oh, ok 02:32 jwagner Jan-Dec, Oct-Oct, June-June, etc. 02:32 oleonard Yeah, fiscal years differ from place to place 02:33 * oleonard 's library's fiscal year doesn't even match his state's 02:33 Irma thanks jwagner. CAn you elaborate re the type of libraries? 02:33 Brooke I think it was the six month thing that really tanked it 02:33 jwagner Not really -- it depends on the individual institution, except federal government sites which start FY October 1 02:33 Irma Financial year in Australia and New Zealand is 1 July to 30 June 02:34 kathryn hi sorry didn't intro earlier - Kathryn from Catalyst : ) 02:34 Brooke so 02:34 kathryn in nz it can also be march - apr 02:34 Irma hi kathryn :) 02:34 kathryn june-july is for public sector mostly 02:34 Brooke I think we need a proper idea as to when to close the wiki and forward it to Nicole if she's willing to do up the ballot 02:35 Irma well here we go , I better stick to local knowledge! 02:35 jwagner I don't see any particular reason to have a final vote before KohaCon12. Let's give more time for bids to develop 02:36 Gbengaadara Intro here too. Olugbenga from Projektlink 02:36 oleonard Let's put it to the list. There aren't enough people here to make a good decision 02:37 druthb oleonard++ 02:37 Irma hi Gbengaadara thanks for your bid for KohaCon13 02:37 Brooke the vote is going to the list regardless of what we decide 02:37 Brooke and I'm going to send a reminder anyway 02:37 Brooke but we'll toss the timeframe in there as well 02:38 Brooke there were no actions from the previous meeting that I spotted in the minutes 02:38 Brooke but speak now or forever hold your peace if there's other stuff 02:39 Irma The success (I also mean the content) of KohaCon12 >> generates hopefully more bids for KohaCon13 02:42 Brooke anything out there at all? 02:42 BobB Lunch? 02:42 wahanui i think Lunch is a good idea :) 02:42 druthb :) 02:42 * jwagner would prefer bedtime to lunch.... 02:43 Irma back to work? 02:43 Brooke not just yet :P 02:43 Irma ok then ... 02:44 Brooke looking at you 6 June 02:44 Brooke should be 18.00 regardless 02:44 Irma during KOhaCon12 ... 02:45 Brooke d'oh 02:45 Brooke screw that 02:45 Brooke 13thish then? 02:45 * kathryn thought that was the idea 02:45 kathryn (but won't be at Kohacon so not relevant) 02:45 Irma it could be ok but has to be during a break time Scotland time 02:45 Brooke nah not gonna fidget with that 02:45 jwagner Might work during hackfest, but that's a regular program day -- awkward for a mtg 02:46 oleonard Won't work 02:46 Brooke 13th won't work too oleonard? 02:46 oleonard I mean scheduling a meeting around Kohacon meetings wont work 02:46 Brooke conflicts with the 13th? 02:47 * oleonard doesn't know the hackfest schedule 02:47 Brooke hackfest is til 11th 02:47 Irma depending of the time of day...I could bring some hot Belgian waffles along ... 02:48 Irma so 13th ok for CALYX 02:48 Brooke folks will prolly be a little jetlaggy, but prime conference memories should still be fresh :) 02:49 Brooke so 02:49 Brooke +1 for 13th June 18.00 UTC 02:49 oleonard +1 02:49 Gbengaadara +1 02:49 Irma +1 02:50 druthb +1 02:50 mtj +1 02:51 Brooke right that carries then 02:51 Brooke #endmeeting 02:51 huginn Meeting ended Wed May 2 02:51:16 2012 UTC.

I think an empty field would be more inviting then having a module maintainer who is only a name and not doing anything 13:55 kf holdings data? 13:55 kf oh wahanui. 13:55 wahanui i am probably a bot 13:55 chris_n kf: that might be so, but I sense a wider-spread issue here rooted in the failure to utilize fields in general 13:56 kf chris_n: hmm 13:56 chris_n which, if true, means that no amount of "fixing up" will solve the problem :-( 13:56 kf not sure I understand 13:56 kf chris_n: the problem is people not working on bugs 13:56 kf and inactive module maintainers 13:56 kf I think 13:56 kf I only hope that it will be more clear that noone is working on a bug, if there is no assignee 13:56 oleonard What do you mean by " the failure to utilize fields in general" chris_n ? 13:56 kf and I doubt we will find active maintainers for each module 13:56 chris_n there is no want of complaints about various fields either not being set or their current settings being incorrect 13:57 kf chris_n: sorry, I don't understand :( 13:57 chris_n many bugs are worked on by other than the default assignee; if the dev cannot take time to click the "take" link, what is there to make us thing they will take time to add their name to the assignee field? 13:58 chris_n so now you have bugs being worked on with blank assignee fields 13:58 kf I don't think that's the problem actuallcy 13:58 kf the problem is wrong expectations - someone file a bug and there is a name in default assignee 13:58 kf and that shoudl not be 13:58 * chris_n must have misunderstood the problem or is focused on a problem noone else is :-( 13:58 kf as long as the default assignees have not any meaning 13:59 kf and I think with exception of you and oleonard, that is not the case 13:59 kf they don't do anything about the bugs 13:59 * chris_n does not see the problem 13:59 kf I think it's confusing 13:59 kf to explain to people they can kick out the default assignee 14:00 kf because you have to explain it 14:00 chris_n I think it is confusing for someone to be working on a bug and the assignee field is either wrong or blank 14:00 kf it would be very clear that noone is working on it with an empty field 14:00 kf and then people should take the bug when they start working on it actively 14:00 kf that is something that's easy to explain 14:00 kf I think we might be misunderstanding each other :) 14:00 chris_n I think you will still have the problem of devs not "taking" the bug, yet working on it 14:01 oleonard I think you're talking about two different problems. 14:01 chris_n ^^^ 14:01 kf I think keeping you and oleonard as default assignees is fine - because you do soemthing. I want to empty all other modules where people don't step up 14:01 * chris_n agrees 14:01 chris_n with oleonard's last comment 14:02 kf me too 14:02 oleonard it makes more sense to leave the default assignee blank for all the modules gmcharlt is the default for, for instance, because he can't possibly handle all of them by himself. 14:02 kf agreed :) 14:02 oleonard Better to have the default assignee mean something. Then the blank will mean something too 14:02 kf yep 14:02 chris_n I wonder if we have any examples of bugs not being worked on because someone thought the default assignee was working on it or otherwise? 14:02 kf exactly 14:02 kf I think for people new to koha 14:03 kf it is confusing like it is now 14:03 kf because they expect default assignees to be involved with the bug somehow 14:03 kf and we have tried to find new default assignees, but Ithink it's not working out 14:03 oleonard I think it also conveys a bad message about default assignees, like "Why haven't they worked on any of these bugs?" 14:03 kf so better have empty and people can take bugs - that will be easy to understand 14:03 chris_n I also think the greater demonstrable confusion exists because various fields are not updated in a timely fashion 14:04 kf and for you and own, you can delete yourselves if you don't want to work on one 14:04 kf chris_n: do you have an example? 14:04 oleonard That's also a problem chris_n, but the change marcel proposed won't help or harm that situtation 14:04 oleonard It's just different. 14:04 kf chris_n: and only trying to understand - thought this would be easier in chat than writing another mail :) 14:04 chris_n kf: the irc logs provide plenty of examples of questions over what the status of bugs is.. ie closed, open, etc 14:05 chris_n a perusal of bugzilla shows that there are many bugs worked on, but marked "new" 14:05 chris_n as well as many worked on by dev A, but assigned to dev B 14:05 * wizzyrea waves 14:05 oleonard chris_n: And lots of those guilty of doing that are experienced devs who should know better. All we can do is keep bugging people about it I think. 14:05 wizzyrea I think it's a human problem. 14:06 chris_n oleonard: agreed, but I am concerned that we are skirting the real issue of the need to utilize the other fields 14:06 chris_n humans? 14:06 wahanui KILL ALL HUMANS 14:06 oleonard The task will often fall to the bug-wranglers to notice those things and speak up about it 14:07 oleonard chris_n: By framing it as "the real issue" you set up a dichotomy which doesn't exist between these two issues 14:07 chris_n kf: probably clarifying what sort of confusion is being addressed by marcel would be good 14:07 oleonard Let's address both of them. 14:08 chris_n I fear that that is easier said than done 14:09 kf the confusion that a default assignee will do something about the bug 14:09 kf which is not the case in general 14:09 kf it's just a name on the bug 14:09 kf but it has lost meaning 14:09 kf as I said - I know they are exceptions 14:09 wizzyrea well i'm default assignee for website stuff 14:09 wizzyrea and I look at those 14:09 kf and I think bug wranglers could help fixing mistakes like you pointed out - bugs with patches still new etc. 14:09 wizzyrea much like owen looks at his opac bugs 14:10 chris_n kf: an alternative might be to poll the default assignees once more to see if they desire to continue as such 14:10 kf wizzyrea: yep I know - but we have modules where it's different 14:10 wizzyrea oh I know 14:10 chris_n if they don't, blank the field if there are no volunteers 14:10 kf wizzyrea: never said we should change the workflow for those who are actively maintaining something 14:10 kf :) 14:10 oleonard chris_n: That's what marcel just did :) 14:10 wizzyrea i'm only saying "I'll keep my default assignment" ;) 14:11 chris_n oleonard: but that's not what his email said.. unless I misread 14:11 kf chris_n: I think that's what marcel did with his mail - asking for consent to do something - those who want to keep things can speak up now 14:11 chris_n :-) 14:11 kf I think we don't really disagree :) 14:11 wizzyrea @wunder lawrence ks 14:11 huginn wizzyrea: The current temperature in Channel 6 Downtown, Lawrence, Kansas is 23.5°C (9:11 AM CDT on May 02, 2012).

You're going to have a lot of trouble getting any support from the community for 3.2. 14:40 vfernandes yes i know jcamins... but I've plenty off knowlegdes about 3.2.X.

Each zebrasrv right now has two databases: one for authorities, one for biblios. 14:46 hdl1 jcamins: if you look at configuration files, 14:46 hdl1 there is one 14:46 hdl1 zebra-authorities.cfg 14:46 hdl1 one zebra-biblios.cfg 14:47 hdl1 data are stored in two different palces. 14:47 jcamins hdl1: yes, but it's only one process, as I understand it. 14:47 hdl1 it is not because zebrasrv is handling multiple zebra servers 14:47 hdl1 that you donot have multiple "inner instance" 14:49 jcamins vfernandes: anyway, the long and the short of it is, you'll need to start a zebrasrv process for each Koha installation. 14:50 jcamins kf++ 14:50 jcamins wizzyrea++ 14:50 kf wizzyrea++! 14:50 vfernandes roger that :) 14:52 vfernandes let me say that Koha in portugal is on "boost"... on 20th April was the first national Koha workshop 14:53 vfernandes around 90 people attended to the workshop 14:53 jcamins Very cool! 14:53 wizzyrea kf++ 14:53 kf vfernandes: you should write something for the newsletter :) 14:55 vfernandes kf it's a good idea... maybe i'll write something.

I think only the GDC five required significant changes 18:22 slef required/we would request 18:22 cait totally ok 18:22 slef #agreed slef to post full abstracts to wiki unless changes were requested 18:22 slef #agreed cait to summarise reviews, probably Friday 18:23 cait #topic Hackfest Schedule 18:23 cait I have posted 2 ideas on the wiki page 18:23 cait I am a bit stuck on it 18:23 slef well 18:23 cait we have 2 long presentations / workshops 18:23 slef I think we have five papers, plus the bugsquash idea 18:23 cait where not all might be interested in 18:24 slef and there are six half-days 18:24 cait especially the debian packaging is probably more a hands on training 18:24 cait we can spread it equally - but that will mean people don#t get to work much on topics that are on the last day 18:24 cait or we can try to put it into the first days and then start working on things we learned 18:24 cait not sure what is better 18:24 cait and how to spread it out between mornings and afternoons 18:25 slef me neither 18:25 cait I hoped for some input :) 18:25 jcamins I'd suggest no long workshops after lunch. 18:25 cait yeah 18:25 cait I was hoping for people to hack in the afternoons mostly 18:25 jcamins So I'd vote for option 2. 18:25 cait digesting what they heard in the mornings and leaving room for some spontanous things 18:25 slef ok 18:26 jcamins And I think the order makes sense, too. 18:26 cait and has someone a better idea about the Groups report? (term I mean?) 18:26 slef I think it's important to kick the bugsquash off early 18:26 slef cait: feedback? 18:26 cait the idea was that people talk about what they have worked on during the day 18:26 cait or ideas that came up 18:26 jcamins The most people will be interested in TT, followed by Plack, with SIP being interesting to the smallest number of people. 18:26 slef jcamins: yes, I think TT should be early. 18:26 cait we could start squashing bugs on monday afternoon 18:26 cait keeping some kind of score during the days 18:26 jcamins cait++ 18:27 cait jcamins: that was my thinking, hope that's ok with you all too 18:27 cait i think sip is smallest group 18:27 cait and put template toolkit before plack, because it's a bit less technical 18:28 slef ok... next question: do you want both the package workshops in the same day? 18:28 slef I can see arguments for and against it 18:28 jcamins slef: the problem I see with that is that you end up having 4 straight hours on packaging, two of those immediately after lunch, which means everyone will fall asleep. 18:29 slef Aye. The benefit is that you only lose one day to package work and could have two days spent on core hacking. 18:29 cait slef: I think both on same day is a bit much 18:30 cait so I prefer the second schedule a bit 18:30 cait we could move the sip server talk into the afternoon 18:30 cait which would make friday free to play 18:30 jcamins cait: yeah, that would make sense. 18:30 thd I like the idea of a progressive degree of accessibility starting with template toolkit. 18:30 slef jcamins: I think we have to trust people not to gorge so much at lunch that they fall asleep. 18:30 cait slef: dangerous :) 18:31 jcamins slef: well, there's trusting people, then there's making it that much easier for them to be trustworthy. ;) 18:31 slef jcamins: and we have to trust cait to bring so much chocolate and the co-ops to bring so much coffee, everyone will be running laps around the walls. 18:31 jcamins lol 18:31 cait please refresh page 18:31 cait I made some changes to number 2 18:31 oleonard slef: it worked for the marseille hackfest 18:32 cait slef: who said I will bring chocolate? :) 18:32 thd which page? 18:32 jcamins cait: I like option two. 18:32 cait everyone has to bring chocolate! :) 18:32 slef thd: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon12_Schedule I think 18:32 jcamins As you have it now. 18:32 jcamins That makes a lot of sense. 18:32 cait slef: what do you think? 18:32 slef cait: looks good to me. 18:32 cait and please - another word for groups report? or is that ok, reads wrong :) 18:32 slef cait: feedback? 18:33 cait ah 18:33 cait feedback is good 18:33 cait I will put a short explanation above 18:33 slef I have seen it called "feedback to plenary" but plenary is not really a common English word I think. 18:34 cait hm and it's long :) 18:34 slef as in I have been in plenary sessions that were split into groups ;) 18:34 cait "Feedback" ? :) 18:34 slef cait: bweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeee 18:34 * slef screeches at cait 18:34 cait oh 18:34 cait what have I done? 18:34 * cait hides behind jcamins 18:34 slef sorry... thought you wanted some feedback 18:35 cait rofl 18:35 slef heh that'll be a cool way to stop people talking when it's time for the feedback session 18:35 cait you have the hat tonight ;) 18:35 cait ok 18:35 slef sorry 18:35 cait latest version in wiki 18:35 cait if someone hates it - we can still reschedule 18:36 jcamins Looks good to me. 18:36 slef hmm 18:36 thd I think that we should have some group reports at the end of each day for which there are divided tracks. 18:36 slef no free hack time in first two mornings if you like all talks 18:37 jcamins thd: I think "Feedback" covers that well enough. 18:37 cait I think we will have not all people attending to the packaging 18:37 slef yeah I guess not 18:37 cait so the short talks first in the morning 18:38 cait and people can decide to work on that or work on something else 18:38 slef ok 18:38 cait not sure it will work - we will see then and there 18:38 thd Have we suggested 'feedback' for the end of each day? 18:38 slef yeah true we can play if needed, but this is a good working plan 18:38 cait thd: check the schedule - there is one block at 4 everyday 18:38 jcamins thd: yes, there's a schedule proposed on the wiki. 18:38 cait perhaps we could also have on ein the morning for friday? 18:39 slef cait: friday? 18:39 cait #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon12_Schedule#Other_ideas 18:39 wahanui friday is It's Friday, Friday Gotta get down on Friday 18:39 cait oh monday 18:39 cait sory 18:39 slef np 18:39 slef all work and no play makes cait a dull boy 18:39 * thd had glanced so quickly at the schedule table that rows and columns had been inverted in his mind. 18:40 cait boy? 18:40 slef cait: hey, I didn't make the saying up. 18:41 slef speaking of mind inversions, can we move on to the next topic before thd makes another entry in the bizarre statement contest? ;-) 18:41 cait #Topic Next meeting 18:41 slef Next Wednesday, same time? 18:41 cait yep 18:41 cait +1 18:41 slef #agreed Next Wednesday, same time 18:42 cait #endmeeting 18:42 huginn Meeting ended Wed May 2 18:41:45 2012 UTC.

Only 40 minutes. 18:44 * slef returns to collapsing 18:44 thd slef: My previous entry into the bizarre statements had been inspired by wahanui. 18:45 oleonard Who proposed "A Road Map to Improved Koha Governance?" Or is it secret for papers under review? 18:45 jcamins oleonard: I think they were all accepted. 18:45 slef oleonard: it'll be in last week's log in the paste therein 18:45 jcamins (and therefore it need not be secret) 18:45 slef I'm next to it, so I'll get it 18:45 jcamins Bob Birchall, I think. 18:46 slef oh no not in the pastebin 18:46 slef meh 18:46 * oleonard is going by http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon12_Schedule#Papers 18:46 slef let me get the abstracts now 18:46 oleonard Many under "reviewing" jcamins 18:46 cait oleonard: slef will update :) 18:46 cait it's on his list :P 18:46 jcamins oleonard: updating that is one of slef's actions. 18:46 thd Presenters should be included in the list of accepted papers. 18:47 oleonard Okay, I'm in no hurry (and I wasn't paying close attention to the meeting sorry) 18:47 * oleonard is trying to keep jealously-levels down 18:47 cait ooh :( 18:47 thd oleonard: There are no secrets which are not secret from me. 18:49 thd oleonard: We are also not 'something enough' to yet have need for anonymous review of papers or bugs. 18:49 wahanui okay, thd. 18:49 oleonard We? 18:49 wahanui We are talking about ms outlook here... or not 'something enough' to yet have need for anonymous review of papers or bugs. 18:50 thd oleonard: We, the koha communal we. 18:50 * oleonard was merely poking wahanui 18:50 cait whanui: forget we 18:50 wahanui cait: I forgot we 18:52 thd Many peer review procedures have anonymous review for papers. Does anyone ever do anonymous patch review? 18:52 thd s/bugs/patches/ 18:52 jcamins thd: not for Koha. 18:53 thd jcamins: I meant for the world. 18:53 jcamins thd: I'm not sure. 18:54 jcamins A quick Google search doesn't turn much up. 18:54 jcamins I don't see how that could work, though. 18:55 thd jcamins: I imagine that it could work in the same way that anonymous peer review works to some degree for academic journals. 18:56 thd jcamins: It involves an additional anonymising layer in the work flow. 18:56 jcamins I mean, not that academic peer review is necessarily that successful at keeping things anonymous, but at least there are a lot more PhDs in mechanical engineering than there are developers in most development projects. 18:58 thd The veil of anonymity would be especially thin and probably conflict with other universal project goals such as keeping people aware of what your development efforts. 19:00 thd The only project which comes to mind where anonymity in patch review might help overcome a problem is Linux kernel development. 19:04 * thd heads to the laundry. 19:06 cait slef: the great wizzyrea has put the donate button on the front page :) 19:06 cait wizzyrea++ 19:06 wizzyrea (but it looks funny - is there another paypal graphic we can use? 19:06 magnuse wizzyrea++ 19:07 wizzyrea well it's better anyway 19:10 wizzyrea ok, now I feel at least not terrible about it 19:10 wizzyrea bbiab, installing software 19:17 slef http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon12_Schedule#Abstracts posted, except the ones we're definitely asking for changes on. Let me know if I've mispasted anything... or just edit it out, please? 19:18 magnuse g`night #koha 19:19 oleonard Looks like a great slate of talks 19:22 * chris_n wonders what the toxicity level is for java 19:27 oleonard How much java programming you can do before you die? 19:28 chris_n it tastes good going down... 19:45 jcamins o.O 19:45 jcamins Oh, never mind. 19:45 jcamins Looks like the RSS feed is acting up. 19:50 jcamins Would it (theoretically) be possible to return "404: this record does not exist" when someone enters an invalid biblionumber rather than the standard 404 page? 19:54 oleonard Oh, I figured out how to get Chome to eat memory like Firefox 19:54 slef oleonard: congratulations! 19:54 oleonard Ask it to clear the cache since the beginning of time. 19:54 jcamins Ironic, isn't it? All you wanted to do was reduce its resource usage! 19:55 slef jcamins: maybe. It is possible to set a different errordocument for that path? 19:56 jcamins slef: well, it's opac-detail.pl 19:58 jcamins Ah, just check REDIRECT_URL. 19:58 jcamins Cool. 19:58 jcamins And with that thought, it's time to call it a day. 19:58 jcamins So long, #koha. 20:14 cait morning kathryn 20:14 kathryn heya cait 20:29 * chris_n follows oleonard's example and heads home 20:51 cait night all 21:24 jcamins_away You know what would hugely improve performance? 21:25 jcamins_away On the OPAC, anyway, cache the error pages. 21:43 melia wizzyrea: you around? 21:43 * wizzyrea waves 21:43 wizzyrea sup 21:44 melia I am looking at the sql reports library at your report for finding duplicate holds 21:44 wizzyrea reports library? 21:44 wahanui it has been said that reports library is found at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library 21:44 wizzyrea (just wanted the link) 21:44 wizzyrea ok shoot 21:44 melia but am curious about "do note that it doesn't necessarily mean anything as processes done on one will do the same to the other" 21:45 wizzyrea right, this report only detects them, but you can't DO anything to them through the UI 21:45 wizzyrea if that makes sense 21:45 wizzyrea you can't delete them 21:45 melia so how does one get rid of them? (and how did they get there to start with?) 21:45 wizzyrea they got there when a patron or staff member double clicked the "place hold" button 21:46 wizzyrea there is relatively recent code that adds a javascript trap for double clicks 21:46 wizzyrea kyle did it I think 21:46 wizzyrea i'm sure it's in 3.8, i'm not sure if it's in 3.6 21:46 melia ok, that makes sense. the library that's asking is on 3.6 still. 21:46 wizzyrea bug 4054 21:47 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4054 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Pushed to Master , Double-clicking the 'place hold' button can result in duplicate holds 21:47 melia thank you very much@ 21:47 wizzyrea yw :) 21:47 wizzyrea as far as getting rid of them 21:47 wizzyrea you don't have to 21:47 wizzyrea yes, it's weird 21:47 wizzyrea but they complete and work just like every other hold 21:48 melia awesome. if they'll just disappear happily on their own, that's great. :) 21:48 wizzyrea so, just tell the staff (and they can tell their patron) "these will clear in time" 21:48 wizzyrea yep, they do 21:54 chris_n is there not dup check for holds in the holds code? 22:02 jcamins_away I don't think there is. 22:13 chris_n interesting that the reserves table has no PK 22:17 gmcharlt interesting indeed 22:19 gmcharlt for painful definitions of "interesting" ;) 22:19 chris_n a PK made up of borrowernumber and biblionumber probably would eliminate the possability of dups 22:19 chris_n or itemnumber rather? 22:19 chris_n depending 22:19 * chris_n is no circulation whiz 22:19 gmcharlt which is where it could get tricky 22:20 gmcharlt in principle somebody could want both a title-level and copy-level hold on the same title 22:20 chris_n in which case it may be better to have an autoincr pk and have the code catch dups based on rules? 22:20 gmcharlt IMO, yes 22:21 chris_n this probably deserves its very own bug :-) 22:37 jcamins_away chris_n: it has one. 22:37 jcamins_away kyleh wrote a patch, which I commented on. 22:37 jcamins_away @query primary key 22:37 huginn jcamins_away: 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7065 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, Needs Signoff , reserves table needs a primary key 22:37 huginn jcamins_away: 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7671 major, P5 - low, ---, stephane.delaune, Needs Signoff , add a real primary key "accountlinesid" in accountlines 22:37 huginn jcamins_away: 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7792 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, stephane.delaune, Needs Signoff , redefine the field branchcode as PRIMARY KEY of branches 22:37 huginn jcamins_away: 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7793 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, stephane.delaune, Needs Signoff , redefine the field message_id as PRIMARY KEY of message_queue 22:37 huginn jcamins_away: 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7794 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, stephane.delaune, Needs Signoff , redefine the field id as PRIMARY KEY of sessions 22:38 jcamins_away Bug 7065 22:38 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7065 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, Needs Signoff , reserves table needs a primary key 22:38 jcamins_away That's the one. 22:39 chris_n that needs pushing 22:40 chris_n but the problem is a bit deeper as the backend fails to do any dup checking 22:40 * chris_n runs off to the next scheduled event of the evening 22:41 jcamins_away chris_n: I commented on why I didn't like the proposed patch. 22:46 jcamins_away Oh, there is a new patch. 22:46 jcamins_away From today. 22:46 jcamins_away Huh.
