Time Nick Message 00:47 libsysguy what is the reason for the chanserv message on signin? 00:47 jcamins_away What message? 00:47 wahanui hmmm... message is a warning not an error. 00:48 libsysguy i get a PM from chanserv every time i sign in 00:48 libsysguy welcoming me to the koha board 00:49 jcamins_away Ah. No idea. 00:49 libsysguy i just saw rangi get +o-ed by the same name 00:49 libsysguy so i was just curious 01:02 jcamins_away This channel is managed by chanserv. 01:02 jcamins_away That keeps the channel from popping out of existence if everyone disconnects. 01:02 jcamins_away I think. 01:02 Guest3040 libsysguy: ChanServ is part of OFTC's IRC Services (common on most IRC networks). It can be charged with a number of things, including the granting of channel operator status and the welcome message you received upon joining the channel. Someone with the proper credentials configured ChanServ to send that message, and to op rangi, etc. 01:02 Guest3040 oh dear. 01:02 Guest3040 i seem to have lost my nick. 01:03 jeff that's NickServ's fault. ;-) 01:03 libsysguy haha yeah i also get nickserv messages jeff 01:04 libsysguy you have successfully authenticated :p 03:24 mtompset Greetings, #koha. 03:25 mtompset Greetings, dcook. 03:27 dcook Hi ya mtompset :) 03:28 dcook I'm just about to run off for lunch, but I hope your auth readings went well the other day 03:28 mtompset Still reading and reading. 03:34 mtompset 3.4.8? I thought there was agreement to axe the 3.4? 03:39 mtompset I just checked environment variables on our 3.6.3 system which is behind a proxy in firefox and IE, and my development VM in firefox and IE, and found that REMOTE_USER is not defined. 03:40 mtompset Is REMOTE_USER ever defined, and how? 03:46 chris_n off-topic a bit, but does anyone know of issues when using perl Socket in scripts run by apache? 03:51 mtompset Sorry... no idea. 03:53 chris_n it seems that a call to Socket via cgi consumes 99.9% of the quad-core cpu as well as 99.9% of available memory :-P 03:53 chris_n not nice.... 03:54 mtompset That makes no sense. 03:55 mtompset What are you running Socket for? 03:56 chris_n I've a script which acts as a client to connect to a port on a building automation system 03:56 chris_n I'm working on a web interface for the script 03:56 mtompset Make sure to sanitize your inputs. ;) 03:57 chris_n right ;-) 03:57 mtompset http://xkcd.com/327/ 03:57 * chris_n briefly imagines librarians controling the HVAC systems in their libraries via koha 03:58 chris_n lol 03:58 mtompset Interesting thought, but a tad out of scope for Koha, don't you think? :) 04:00 chris_n probably for all but the most exotic control freaks 04:07 mtompset Shhhh! Their listening. ;) 04:08 mtompset Ah, I think I found the answer to my question about REMOTE_USER. 04:09 mtompset http://www.cgi101.com/class/ch3/text.html 04:09 mtompset Leads me to believe that REMOTE_USER is only defined if there was .htaccess authentication on the directory. 04:18 mtompset Koha doesn't use .htaccess authentication at all anymore, does it?! 04:56 cait hi #koha 04:59 mtompset Greetings, cait. 04:59 mtompset I'm still tinkering with the labyrinth of doom, cait. 04:59 mtompset Can I blame you? ;) 05:00 cait why me? :) 05:00 mtompset Wasn't it you and rangi that sent me in? :P 05:03 mtompset Oh wait... this is the maze of doom that jcamins suggested I enter... never mind. This is Auth, not Search. 05:04 dcook I'm looking at Search now :P 05:04 dcook Mind you, it's a local customization, so I can't get too grumpy.. 05:12 * Oak waves 05:18 mtompset Greetings, Oak. 05:19 mtompset Long time, no chat. How are things over there? 05:20 Oak hello mtompset :) 05:20 Oak things are okay here. i hope you are good. 05:21 mtompset As good as can be, I suppose. 05:22 dcook hi Oak :) 05:22 * dcook celebrates finding the solution to his problem. 05:23 mtompset Congratulations, dcook. 05:23 dcook Thanks :) 05:23 mtompset It would be better if wasn't a localized problem, and then you could help the rest of us too. ;) 05:23 dcook We have two very similar functions in two separate modules, and we weren't populating a variable in one of them, which caused a total (but very unnoticeable) failure 05:23 dcook Hehe 05:23 dcook True! 05:24 dcook It might be one I spin back to the community, but it would require some adjustments 05:25 dcook Essentially, it puts a link in the search results. If there is just one link in the bib record, it replicates that. If there are multiple, it takes you into the record (and just acts like a pointer). 05:26 dcook On top of that, we've added an onclick event to prompt users to log in, if the link is for a database requiring authentication 05:26 dcook It looks like the idea is to use a single sign-on, although I don't think it's gotten that far yet.. 05:27 dcook Hmm, yeah...just a note that further authentication is needed. 05:27 * dcook shrugs 05:28 dcook Probably not that useful 05:28 mtompset And that is the maze I'm looking at right now, dcook... SSO, authentication, SAML 2.0 05:32 dcook Mmm, hence that earlier question about REMOTE_USER 05:33 dcook I would love to know the answer to the whole auth situation 05:33 dcook Mind you, I'm sure everyone would :p 05:34 dcook What are you trying to do? 05:43 mtompset first, understand what is there. 05:43 mtompset second, figure out how to either: 05:43 mtompset 1) rewrite the mess (which has been suggested to me several times) 05:43 mtompset or 05:43 mtompset 2) hack in SAML 2.0 authentication. 05:44 mtompset I'm at checkauth in C4::Auth... 05:45 mtompset I've thought that we don't use .htaccess authentication, and the first if might not be necessary any more. 05:45 mtompset I'm working at understanding CGI::Session. 05:45 mtompset Slowly but surely, I'll understand this code. 05:46 mtompset once understood, then I'll be in a position to understand what to do with respect to SAML 2.0 authentication. 05:50 dcook Power to you! 05:50 dcook The customization I just mentioned.. 05:51 dcook We also set a system preference based on the base URL of the link in the record, so when you click the link for a specific website, you can get a pop-up telling you a username and password that you've stored in your syspref 05:51 dcook Of course, this only works for storing 1 u/n and p/w, but it looks like how we're getting around actual remote authentication 05:51 dcook Not a terrible solution for small special libraries 05:51 * mtompset cringes, "Functional, but ugly if you want to scale." 05:52 dcook No kidding, eh? 05:52 dcook That's why you're working on Auth ;) 05:53 mtompset 'eh?' -- Why did you say 'eh?'? 05:54 mtompset Seems like others are as well, and I suspect they'll succeed before I do, but at least I'll understand the mess. 05:55 dcook Understanding is always good :) 05:55 mtompset Understanding is necessary to make better changes. 05:55 dcook Very true 05:55 wahanui I know. That's why I said it. 05:55 dcook That's my goal :) 05:55 dcook As for "eh", I'm Canadian :p 05:56 dcook I'm pretty sure other people in the world say it as well, but it's a (semi-)stereotypical expression that we say from time to time. 05:57 dcook It doesn't really mean anything. And it's not a question. The ? mark just denotes rising intonation when we're speaking 05:58 mtompset Okay, you weren't saying as a Canadian jab... -- Greetings, fellow Canadian. :) 05:58 dcook :o 05:59 mtompset Which province? 05:59 mtompset (or territory) 05:59 dcook Good question 05:59 dcook Born and raised in Saskatchewan, but most recently of Vancouver, BC 05:59 dcook (as if it were its own province :P) 05:59 dcook You? 05:59 wahanui You are welcome, I also tried the other - moving js out of translated paths 05:59 mtompset Ontario. 06:00 mtompset I studied out in Langley, BC. But somehow everyone does seem to equate Vancouver as B.C. 06:00 dcook It's hard not to sometimes. 06:00 dcook Where in Ontario are you from? 06:01 dcook I've bounced all over Sk, myself 06:01 mtompset Doesn't everyone equate Toronto with Ontario? ;) 06:01 dcook I was totally going to say Toronto, but I thought better of it :p 06:02 dcook You're in the Philippines now though, right? What takes you there? 06:06 mtompset Well, Greater-Toronto-Area. No sense saying the Town's name. 06:06 mtompset My organization seconded me to SIL Asia Area whose headquarters are here. 06:07 dcook Fair enough 06:07 mtompset I'm in the Philippines until November. 06:07 dcook That's rather exciting 06:08 dcook I originally came to Australia on a 6 month work term, but now it looks like I'll be working with Koha here for at least the next few years 06:10 mtompset Well, I had worked here before in my previous assignment. I met my wife here. So, it's like my second home now. :) 06:10 dcook Sounds like a classic story 06:10 dcook I met my partner a few months ago, and while I have to go back to Canada for a few months at the end of the year, Australia is certainly my second home as well now 06:14 Amit_Gupta heya dcook 06:15 mveron Good morning #koha 06:16 mtompset Greetings, Amit_Gupta and mveron. 06:17 mveron Hi mtompset 06:17 dcook hey Amit_Gupta 06:17 wahanui Amit_Gupta is from Nucsoft Osslabs 06:17 dcook Allo mveron 06:17 mveron Hi dcook 06:19 mveron Just submitted patch for bug 7628 - Looking for someone to sign off :-) 06:19 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7628 normal, P3, ---, veron, Needs Signoff , Required format is not enforced for Patron Categories 06:20 * dcook will take a look 06:20 mveron Thanks, dcook. 06:22 dcook No worries.

Branches like standards die their own quiet death eventually. 10:10 eythian I kinda thought that 3.4 would have dies when 3.8 came out. 10:10 Brooke we don't have a formal quorum Owen, so it's a bit hard to count if we've got one. 10:10 slef (sorry, slow web here) 10:10 eythian thd: I think it's good too kill them, just to announce that people should be moving now. 10:11 slef if anyone wants to fund 3.4 rm nd someone will workl on it, let them, else call it orphaned? 10:11 paul_p I think Koha 3.4 is de-facto orphaned 10:11 oleonard It should at least be known that there will be no more releases unless someone takes charge of it 10:11 Brooke I'm pretty sure someone sent that out to listserv months back, lemme see if I can dig it up 10:11 thd Exactly, orphans are merely orphaned. There is no need to try to kill them. 10:11 eythian I'm of the opinion it'd be best to declare an end-of-life for things like that. 10:12 slef paul_p: make it official, encourage more upgrades 10:12 eythian thd: there is, or people don't know they're orphaned 10:12 paul_p slef agreed 10:12 thd We should announce an orphan but not a killing. 10:12 thd Killing is unnecessary. 10:13 thd ... and mean. 10:13 oleonard If no one has done it by then I'll send a message to the list in 3hrs.

I plan to work this afternoon on this one. 10:34 paul_p (and it's a 3.8 problem, because 3.8 has the bug !) 10:34 slef paul_p++ and should that be a blocker for 3.10? 10:35 paul_p I've started a thread on koha-devel about release process, a lot of discussion here, I think i'll continue the discussion soon. 10:35 Brooke #help help Paul with bug 8251 - libraries that record fines in days really need you! 10:35 * mtompset notes that is a reason why we're only upgrading to 3.6.7 next. 10:35 paul_p slef = I strongly hope it will be before 3.10 !!! 10:36 paul_p The pile of ENH waiting for a signoff is very large, and I wouldn't like to see all of them being signed-off & passing QA & pushed too close from the release. 10:37 Brooke paul I have stuff for this under its proper topic. Don't let me forget :) 10:37 paul_p that's the problem the thread still don't address 10:38 paul_p saying 2 months before the release "I won't push any ENH" mean that the freeze will occur in august, 22, which is "tomorrow" 10:38 paul_p I don't want to do that. 10:38 paul_p OTOH, ppl seem not to be happy with the idea of saying .0 is a announced as beta 10:38 paul_p is there a 3rd option ? which one ? 10:38 paul_p that's my biggest point for 3.10 for now. 10:39 Brooke #info problem with release cycle 10:40 paul_p another one = I had not a lot of feedback on my POC for thread "http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Namespace_RFC, moving ahead" 10:40 mtompset So when is 3.10 tentatively coming out? 10:40 paul_p mtompset = that's my personal debate atm ! 10:41 paul_p either keep oct 22, say there will be a 2 months freeze for large enh, meaning everything must be in before aug, 22 10:41 paul_p or keep oct 22 as .0 release, but clearly announce it will be a beta 10:41 paul_p or a 3rd option I don't see atm 10:42 paul_p (4th option = change nothing, but I think it's not a good option !) 10:42 slef paul_p: why 2mo freeze? could we shorten if lots pledge to test+fix a lot? 10:42 slef paul_p: and can we be braver at reverting buggy enh? 10:42 paul_p slef = it has been proven for 3.4 and 3.8 that it does not work well 10:43 mtompset pledges don't mean anything. Don't count the chickens before they hatch. 10:43 paul_p slef = it's hard to revert ENH, because they usually have DB updates 10:43 Brooke we could do a 9 or 12 month release cycle #justsayin 10:43 rangi worked for 3.6 though 10:43 rangi longer cycle just shifts the problem 10:43 paul_p hey, rangi is not sleeping ;-) 10:43 paul_p I agree it just shifts the problem. 10:44 slef paul_p: leave db update hope to reintro in x.1 or x.2, but revert code? 10:44 mtompset that isn't always possible, slef. 10:44 thd slef++ 10:44 paul_p slef ... maybe ... i'll think a little bit more of this option... not sure 10:44 rangi it is more often than not 10:44 slef mtompset: no, not always 10:44 slef mtompset: but 90% I suspect 10:44 thd mtompset: When is it not possible to revert code? 10:44 paul_p agreed with slef 10:44 Brooke shifting the problems to the next release just shifts the problem. 10:45 davidnind First option seems sensible to meet six month release cycle, and provide a stable release.. 10:45 slef mtompset: this is release engineering not utopia 10:45 mtompset timestamp vs. date (db change) 10:45 slef thd: when someone built on it 10:45 rangi ppl running from dev .. not from releases will be the only ones affected by db updates anyway 10:46 thd slef: We need more independence between features to avoid building on untested code. 10:47 rangi 3.6.0 had one month feature freeze 10:47 davidnind Better to have fewer enhancements and a stable release, rather than a buggy release (for reputation as a great product, if nothing else) 10:47 rangi davidnind++ 10:47 Brooke I agree david 10:47 thd davidmind++ 10:47 mtompset Quite true. 10:47 Brooke also, Librarians are patient people. I can't say this enough 10:47 rangi lol 10:47 rangi they are not 10:48 rangi they are like every other client 10:48 Brooke perhaps some of the enhancements should be chunked smaller than they are 10:48 oleonard davidnind++ 10:48 slef anyway, more list discussion? 10:48 slef RAINING HARD HERE NOW 10:48 rangi ive had huge media megacorps more patient than tiny libraries 10:49 thd However, if enhancements run independently of other code for a period of time, then it would be easy to exclude them if they are discovered to actually be buggy even after passing QA. 10:49 paul_p other option/idea = branch 3.10 earlier (in august), to let enhancements being pushed in master, while stabilizing the 3.10 . atm, during freeze, ENH continues to be submitted, but are not pushed anymore, which tend to have ENH pushed later (not sure i'm very clear ...) 10:49 rangi you'd have to run that by the RM for 3.12 .. since once 3.10 is branched, master is hers/his 10:49 slef sorry all, I must get indsooers... pls postpone kohacon12 for me? bbi10 10:50 paul_p rangi = right. I'll rise the idea on the mailing list 10:50 rangi you could always push them to experimental or something, after the feature freeze 10:51 jcamins #info Jared Camins-Esakov, C & P Bibliography Services 10:51 mtompset Do things ever come out of experimental? 10:52 rangi i think given the currently instability of master 10:52 rangi freezing sooner and bugfixing is the best plan 10:52 eythian_ Branch an -rc? 10:52 oleonard It doesn't make sense to seek to push more enhancements just for the sake of making the release "more different" 10:53 thd oleonard++ 10:53 mtompset I agree, oleonard 10:53 dpavlin Q: would things like Bug 8418 would go in while in bugfix freeze? 10:53 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8418 critical, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, Needs Signoff , Koha::Calendar is_holiday ignores all user data 10:53 rangi dpavlin: we are talkign feature freeze 10:53 paul_p dpavlin = "critical" means it's not an ENH 10:53 dpavlin ack 10:53 rangi there is never a bugfix freeze 10:54 rangi only feature and string 10:54 rangi and string is soft 10:54 rangi critical bug fixes that change strings usually get pushed anyway 10:54 thd Making the release "more different" is only what should be done for releases which are not based on a calendar schedule. We are doing calendar schedule releases. 10:55 Brooke thd that's the problem 10:55 jcamins But if the fix can be done without changing strings, that's to be prefered after string freeze. 10:55 rangi no its the solution 10:55 Brooke there's no logical rotation between enhancement and bugfixing versions 10:55 Brooke we try it all at once in 6 months and that's madness. 10:55 rangi to the problem of doing not calendar releases and 3.5 year releases 10:56 mtompset Actually, 6 months is a good length of time, because this means there are two bursts of fixes as releases are coming out. 10:56 rangi i disagree its madness, i think there are areas of improvement 10:56 paul_p I don't want to switch back to feature releases ! the 6 months seems a good periodicity. We must stick with it ! 10:56 rangi paul_p++ 10:57 slef back 10:57 oleonard Agreed, and that means sticking to an early feature freeze 10:57 mtompset but does the feature freeze need to be 2 months? is 1 month enough? 10:57 oleonard The enhancements can wait, but the bug fixes can't 10:57 paul_p and I think that the early Feature Freeze goes with branching stable soon ! 10:57 paul_p s/soon/early/ 10:57 oleonard mtompset: That has not been the case historically 10:58 Brooke we could rotate. we could have 6 months for bugfixing 10:58 Brooke and 9 or 12 for enhancements 10:58 rangi eeewww 10:58 paul_p mtompset = anyway, i'll be in holiday from aug 4th to 26th, so the FF won't be on aug 22, because it would mean Aug 4th, that's too early ! 10:58 thd I think that the six month releases allow incremental improvement and encourage much more care in commits to not break things for major changes. 10:58 Brooke I think the sticking to the deadline bit is way more important than picking an insane deadline and fitting services to it 10:58 oleonard Brooke, I don't think this is the time or place to propose changes to the release cycle 10:59 paul_p maybe switch from april/oct releases to may/nov, and have feature freeze sept 22 ? 10:59 Brooke when is Owen? I bring it up, and I'm nearly always patronised. 10:59 oleonard It should be discussed as part of the process of choosing a new RM 10:59 paul_p oleonard right 10:59 jcamins What is the benefit of May/November? 10:59 oleonard ...not within the current release cycle 11:00 paul_p jcamins = not feature freeze during summer holidays 11:00 jcamins paul_p: ah. 11:00 jcamins Got it. 11:00 mtompset And this 6 month cycle, is it in stone, or flexible by a given amount of time? 11:00 rangi hmm i would have thought holidays is perfect freeze time :) 11:00 thd I have overcome my past objection to calendar releases with the commitment to continued bug fixes after release. 11:00 paul_p mtompset = I would say nothing is in stone, but i'm strongly against changing it again ! 11:01 rangi and course thats only the northern summer :) 11:01 paul_p rangi right. when are the southern summer holidays ? 11:01 rangi december 11:01 rangi january 11:01 rangi march 11:01 rangi whenever :) 11:02 eythian_ Whichever day summer falls on that year 11:02 Brooke hang on, Kiwis come *off* holiday? 11:02 paul_p are you implying it's always summer in NZ ? ;-) ( not what eythian_ is saying :D ) 11:02 davidnind We get summer? Yeh! 11:02 thd Some projects work poorly with calendar releases. Koha seems OK thus far. Some GNU/Linux distributions using calendar releases cannot be trusted to actually work in my experience. 11:03 eythian_ Calendar releases also makes planning possible which is good. 11:03 rangi thd: koha is a zillion times more stable now (even with the 3.8 bugs) than it was ever before 11:03 rangi 3.0.0 was a night mare 11:03 rangi and it took 3 years 11:04 thd rangi: I am making that point of concurrence. 11:04 Brooke note that I've never proposed 3 years, and that was from constantly moving goalposts instead of honestly assessing things 11:04 Brooke I think it's just as bad to introduce a buggy as version just to hit 6 months 11:04 mtompset So it seems we all want stability. 11:05 rangi yep, so longer feature freeze it is 11:05 oleonard Yes 11:05 thd I had previously, objected based on projects which are so large that they can never have a feature freeze early enough to fix all bugs which should be blockers. 11:05 paul_p Brooke = when 3.8 was released, everything had been tested and it was supposed to be OK. Except there was some side effect the QA process has not detected. 11:05 rangi thd: thats what happens with longer cycles 11:05 mtompset Actually, has anyone actually developed a test plan for every module in Koha? 11:06 rangi the more you cram in, the more likely it is to break 11:06 paul_p mtompset = I know bywater is working on that atm. 11:06 rangi mtompset: we have 57% subroutine coverage 11:06 paul_p mtompset = and the problem is that there are so many options/sysprefs ! 11:06 rangi the most useful thing anyone can do for koha 11:06 rangi is write more tests 11:07 rangi it trumps features 11:07 jcamins And we can do functionality regression tests, too! 11:07 rangi yep 11:07 jcamins #link wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Interface_testing_with_WWW::Mechanize 11:07 rangi the problem is no one wants to pay anyone to do that 11:07 rangi they want to pay for new features 11:07 jcamins Brooke: will that link work? 11:07 * mtompset was thinking the same thing, jacmins. 11:07 paul_p for example, I just failed QA bug 6874, look at comment 32 to see why ! that's something I just discovered by chance ! 11:07 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6874 enhancement, P3, ---, julian.maurice, Failed QA , File upload in MARC 11:07 jcamins I didn't include the http:// 11:07 thd We need a road maintenance tax. 11:07 paul_p rangi ++ for the problem of no one want to pay for that... 11:08 slef rangi: someone gave a talk about that at kohacon... 11:08 Brooke dunno, so I'll redo 11:08 rangi :) 11:08 Brooke #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Interface_testing_with_WWW::Mechanize 11:08 rangi the tests catch more and more stuff, and with http::recorder and mechanize we can test js too 11:09 Brooke so if that's happened in perpetuity 11:09 Brooke can we work in a bugtesting fee to new features? 11:09 paul_p discussing of this for 40mn now. Maybe we can close the discussion, I'll do a summary on koha-devel, and continue trying to find the best solution ? 11:09 Brooke something has to address that gap. 11:09 Brooke paul this is important 11:09 Brooke which is why I've let it go for 40 minutes 11:09 rangi paul_p: i think the feature freeze is all we can do for this release, too late in the cycle to do anything else 11:10 paul_p Brooke = of course it's important !

Is there a feature freeze in effect. ;) 11:38 rangi http://dashboard.koha-community.org/ 11:39 rangi you can clone it and send patches 11:39 Brooke they have weather mapped theirs 11:39 Brooke so that there are picture sections 11:40 Brooke and for say article writing, there are a billion waiting, so it's a thunderstorm 11:40 tweetbot` [off] Twitter: @27point7: "interesting uniform idea (by @Tredok ) for koha teams all around the world? http://t.co/yiPSchdl ;-) #kohails" 11:40 * mtompset smirks, "clone it and send patches. Sounds like enter a maze of doom." 11:40 Brooke it's very clever for getting a really quick visual 11:41 jcamins mtompset: actually, it's really simple. 11:41 mtompset It's what rangi said to me regarding bug 5515. 11:41 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5515 major, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Leading 'and' in search never returns a result 11:42 jcamins mtompset: okay, that one's a little scarier. 11:42 mtompset Thankfully, I doubt it is like C4::Search. 11:42 thd Brooke: Does this WikiMedia bug dashboard have a proper name? 11:42 rangi you're mad if you are tyring to fix C4::Search 11:42 Brooke thd I suspect it might live behind a small wall 11:43 Brooke I will try and fish it up and post or link a pic someplace 11:43 rangi you should be working in Koha::SearchEngine::* 11:43 Brooke but I wanted to mention it cause I saw it and immediately thought "Koha!!!" 11:43 paul_p @quote add rangi you're mad if you are tyring to fix C4::Search 11:43 huginn paul_p: 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). 11:43 mtompset And you had a typo, paul_p. 11:43 paul_p hey, I thought I was registred ! 11:43 paul_p @quote 211 11:43 huginn paul_p: I've exhausted my database of quotes 11:44 rangi prolly need to identify 11:44 paul_p nevermind. 11:44 rangi @quote search identify 11:44 huginn rangi: 1 found: #73: "<chris_n> owen: try /msg munin identify nick..." 11:44 rangi @quote get 73 11:44 huginn rangi: Quote #73: "<chris_n> owen: try /msg munin identify nick password" (added by owen at 12:38 PM, April 29, 2010) 11:44 rangi s/munin/huginn/ 11:45 Brooke so the next thing on here is marking bugs that can be tested in the sandboxes 11:45 Brooke I know there was just a sandbox improvement 11:47 Brooke I don't see how a keyword would hurt 11:47 Brooke does anyone else? 11:47 Brooke if we authorise it, people should use it, yeah? 11:47 rangi should != will 11:48 Brooke nope. it's usually better the other way round 11:48 Brooke authorised entries derived from the crowd 11:48 Brooke but no matter 11:48 Brooke any objections to keywords for bugzilla? 11:48 paul_p not from me ;-) 11:48 jcamins None from me. 11:48 mtompset No, but how will people know the keyword(s)? 11:49 davidnind not from me 11:49 drojf1 you can see the keywords, somewhere. i know that there is only "regression" in it, so i must have found it somehow 11:50 Brooke how about just using sandboxtest? 11:50 thd Brooke: what do you mean in terms of the specific application of keywords? 11:50 Brooke look at the agenda 11:50 Brooke I'll quote it 11:50 jcamins thd: adding a keyword so that people can find bugs that can be tested in the sandbox. 11:50 Brooke Use a keyword in Bugzilla to mark bugs/patches that can be tested with the sandboxes 11:51 mtompset Okay, next uninformed question... what sandboxes? 11:51 Brooke so I'm thinking if we used sandboxtest that could differentiate stuff that can be tested and not get it mucked up with bugs with sandboxen or general tests, but am I right? 11:51 Brooke sandboxen are things that let me test stuff without having to do a whole heap of git schtuff 11:52 eythian mtompset: look through your email from today 11:52 Brooke should say folks where I said me XD 11:52 mtompset okay... 11:52 davidnind http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes 11:53 thd jcamins: I what way do keywords differ from the existing categories for bugs in bugzilla? 11:53 * rangi wanders off to sleep 11:53 Brooke night 11:53 jcamins thd: they cut across categories. 11:53 jcamins This is not for bugs in the sandbox implementation, it's for bugs that can be tested in sandboxes. 11:54 thd I am all in favour of more metadata for bibliographic materials and bugs. 11:54 mtompset davidnind++ 11:55 mtompset Why wouldn't all bugs be tested in the sandboxes? 11:56 jcamins So, sandboxtest sounds good to me. What's next? 11:56 jcamins mtompset: the sandboxes can't handle all types of modifications. 11:56 drojf1 mtompset: it does not work for all 11:56 mtompset Ah, okay. 11:56 Brooke Put the names of testers/signoffers in the release notes (more status) 11:56 Brooke by the way, thanks for everyone's patience 11:56 Brooke this feels long because it is: we essentially skived off with no meeting last time. 11:57 * libsysguy will have to catch up in the logs 11:57 Brooke I think this one is cool as long as someone *wants* acknowledgement 11:57 mtompset Isn't this related to jcamins suggestion of Sponsored-by? 11:57 paul_p mtompset = sandboxes can't handle update database very well atm, and don't handle any zebra configuration change 11:58 thd 2 UTC is a problematic time for much of the current distribution of participants in Koha. 11:58 jcamins Anyone who doesn't want acknowledgement can easily be removed from the release notes. 11:58 jcamins mtompset: yes. It's all of a piece. :) 11:58 eythian thd: that's why things rotate 11:58 paul_p if someone want to improve them, he's welcomed, of course ;-) 11:58 Brooke it's plum for Kiwis 11:59 thd Even much of NZ was absent from the last meeting. 11:59 davidnind but not always ... midnight now 11:59 eythian yeah, it's not a good time for kiwis 12:00 eythian but next time may be better 12:00 Brooke is 2 UTC bad for you all, too, then? 12:00 drojf1 13 June 2012 at 18:00 UTC+0 12:00 drojf1 it was not at 2 12:00 drojf1 the next one would be 12:01 drojf1 so, next alibi :P 12:01 Brooke someone said 2, so that's what I was talking about XD 12:01 Brooke anyway 12:01 thd Brooke, we should return to the topic for now but I once tried to show that much of 2 UTC lands in the largely unpopulated ocean. 12:01 Brooke yes I think this is sort of related to the jcamins patch 12:02 jcamins The idea is to make sure that the people and institutions who contribute to Koha are acknowledged. 12:03 davidnind for NZ 2 UTC = 2pm, depends whether you have to work or not;-) 12:03 eythian well, I work on koha, so...;) 12:03 jcamins Doesn't sound like there's much discussion on that. Anyone who doesn't want their name in the release notes can easily ask for it to be removed. 12:03 Brooke ^ 12:03 Brooke moving on 12:03 Brooke Put the monthly signoff stats from Chris C. on koha-community.org (more status) 12:03 thd Acknowledgement++ 12:03 Brooke same thing would apply, methinks 12:04 Brooke yes folks? 12:04 wahanui folks are prone to overstay hackfest so I wouldn't worry too much about that given a friendly open wifi connection 12:05 * Brooke once again considers the tyrannical tenet of no objection as a sign of assent... 12:05 * mtompset apologizes, "Replying to work email at 8pm at night." 12:05 Brooke this one is my fav cause I put it there, but I expect folks will hate it 12:05 Brooke Offer prizes/bounties for signing off - either on individual bugs or for doing the most signoffs in a given time frame (Mechanical Turk?) 12:06 Brooke I will offer Diablo or WoW gold if there's a dev that actually wants any of either :) 12:06 jcamins Yes. 12:06 jcamins +1 12:06 mtompset I like the idea, but where will the prizes come from? 12:06 jcamins It can't just be for signing off. 12:06 jcamins It has to be for testing. 12:06 thd Aside from virtual gold, what prizes or bounties might anyone be prepared to offer? 12:07 Brooke so do we conflate those, or do we separate and honour both? 12:07 mtompset Can you sign off without testing, jcamins? 12:07 eythian you_can_ 12:07 Brooke one would _hope_ not 12:07 eythian but you shouldn't 12:07 thd Would offering prizes actually lead to the wrong motivation and poor quality control? 12:08 paul_p thd that's a risk, you're right 12:08 mtompset Actually.... 12:08 mtompset that gives me an idea. 12:08 * libsysguy prefers bribes of testing other devs 12:08 mtompset We were talking about testing and www::mechanize earlier, right? 12:08 mtompset What if as proof of the testing, they include a mechanize script? 12:09 drojf1 how is that supposed to work? a price per bug? where do all the prizes come from? what if i am poor and cannot set a fancy prize for testing my patch? 12:09 paul_p mtompset = you can't expect that from a librarian using sandbox... 12:09 Brooke but you could get bonus points :) 12:10 mtompset an apache log file of their testing page requests? 12:10 jcamins drojf1: chocolate? 12:10 wahanui reiveune ate them all 12:10 reiveune lol 12:10 eythian mtompset: now you're just adding difficulty so you can have proof 12:11 jcamins Yeah, I don't think making it more difficult to test is the way to go. 12:11 mtompset then how to deal with thd's valid concern of potentially poorer quality control? 12:11 jcamins My point was, you can't say "here's a batch of fudge for whoever signs off on this patch," you have to say "here's a batch of fudge for whoever offers useful testing and feedback on this patch." 12:11 eythian Even recognition of things like: most signoffs, most QA actions, most patches in the release might be a place to start 12:12 jcamins Exactly. 12:12 Brooke where it's wanted 12:13 Brooke I just think we are up against a wall with testing, because I would wager that it's not fun for most people. 12:13 mtompset like that bug which is haunting paul_p with the impending release of 3.10 looming in his mind. :) 12:13 Brooke I don't think it's a Koha specific problem 12:13 * mtompset nods in agreement. 12:14 Brooke and I think if it bumps about in me head long enough, I might actually try and research (or more likely accidentally stumble on) what might work from elsewhere 12:14 thd drojfi: Poor developers may still be developing features which many parties want including relatively wealthy libraries. 12:14 eythian thd: or they might be developing something for a school in Africa... 12:15 Brooke I like the idea of a foundation, even if the origin of the idea was disliked 12:16 eythian I think it's overkill for a situation like this. I'd suggest start small, with a byline in release notes or just an email to the lists, and then build on that if there's reception to it. 12:16 thd eythian: I suspect that if the feature is well considered, a feature useful for schools in Africa will be useful for schools everywhere. 12:17 thd eythian++ start small 12:17 Brooke moving on to 12:17 Brooke Organize bug hunts: try to shake out all bugs in module x, and document tests on the wiki and look at the bugs for that module so we could clean up bugzilla and get some serious testing done + get some written test plans that we could try to automate later on 12:17 thd However, lack of testing is a big and not a small problem. 12:18 mtompset How about bug hunt through bugzilla? 12:18 mtompset There are lots of things needing sign off, or just sitting there. 12:18 Brooke hate to be a downer here, but how much testing can we actually do with the number of manhours we've got? 12:18 jcamins Not a lot more than we are already doing. 12:19 thd Brooke: We need to entice librarians to participate. 12:19 mtompset And that's where sandboxes come in. 12:19 thd ... or even library users. 12:20 mtompset I may end up going to the main office in the near future to see if I can get the library person there to participate in sandbox testing. :) 12:20 thd There is no shortage of library patrons, some of them must be motivated to improve the library. 12:20 Brooke their local library, perhaps 12:20 Brooke it's a tougher sell getting them to look at koha 12:21 Brooke in especial with no central body to donate to 12:21 Brooke almost done 12:21 Brooke More ideas? Do other project have systems that work? (Achievement system for Developers OR better use of an existing tool like Ohloh or Chorewars for status and karma?) 12:22 Brooke wikihow has a quick thumbs up thing for edits that other people find useful 12:22 eythian launchpad has karma points 12:23 Brooke I think chorewars was uber effective for a while, and might still be so :) 12:23 eythian though, we'd probably have to patch them into bugzilla if we wanted them, that would be a notable amount of work 12:23 thd I worry much about prizes giving wrong motivation but libraries could easily donate greater circulation periods or other privileges. 12:23 Brooke fine forgiveness might be an attractive thing 12:24 drojf1 thd: do you really expect patrons to learn the library system of the library they are using? 12:24 Brooke a tiny percent do and will 12:24 eythian thd: I'm sure we've all built in "if (username eq "robin") { $fines = 0.00; } ;) 12:24 jcamins eythian: heh. 12:25 cait-m__ heh 12:25 Brooke moving on, and this one is key 12:25 Brooke Is the wiki login working for new folks now? 12:26 thd drojf1: Obviously, patrons should not be expected to evaluate all features properly, no one is best at all features. However, patrons may be good candidates for testing many features. 12:27 thd I never noticed it not working, but I had not been giving attention. 12:27 oleonard Whoa, long meeting 12:28 Brooke #help please ensure that the wiki login is working for new accounts 12:28 thd oleonard: Cumulated issues from lack of participation in the previous meeting. 12:28 mtompset quite long. 12:28 oleonard previous meeting_s_ 12:28 drojf1 long enough for me to bake a bread. it's done now :D 12:29 mtompset and reply to a work email, and make note of that chorewars site. 12:29 mtompset Brooke++ 12:29 Brooke moving on 12:29 Brooke Move to Gerrit to streamline and optimize workflow? 12:30 Brooke is the Chris it was referring to asleep now, or is it other Chris, and if it is, is he here? 12:30 jcamins rangi. 12:31 Brooke sleeping it is 12:31 mtompset We did push a lot to this meeting. I think a couple things could get pushed to the next. ;) 12:31 Brooke any other actions from last meeting? 12:31 Brooke we're almost done 12:31 thd gerrit++ mahara? 12:33 Brooke Miscellaneous 12:33 Brooke anyone? 12:33 mtompset Nothing from me. 12:33 Brooke right! 12:34 Brooke #topic time and date of next meeting 12:34 Brooke I bollocksed this up last time 12:34 Brooke so I'd appreciate oleonard helping this time 12:34 Brooke so I don't do it again 12:34 mtompset Since we were noting that a lot of Kiwis were asleep, I suggest a Kiwi friendly time be chosen. 12:34 Brooke I'm equally knackered, so I think it's equally likely 12:34 jcamins We have a regular location. 12:35 jcamins *rotation 12:35 jwagner The rotation would have the next meeting at 2:00 UTC -- last two were 10:00 and 18:00 12:35 jcamins I vote we follow that, so 2:00 UTC. 12:35 Brooke which is friendly for kiwis, yes? 12:35 Brooke cause its everyone's turn eventually 12:35 mtompset I think that puts it around supper for them. 12:35 Brooke that's before tea 12:36 Brooke smack midafternoon 12:36 oleonard Terrible for Europe though 12:36 mtompset So, if that is the rotation, seems good to me. 12:36 oleonard 4AM? 12:36 Brooke it's always shite for someone 12:36 mtompset Well, what day will the next meeting be? 12:37 mtompset Because paul_p may or may not have an update on 3.10 12:37 eythian I think that's about 4pm NZ time or so 12:37 davidnind rotation is good, 2 UTC = 2pm in NZ 12:37 eythian 2 then 12:37 eythian I never remember which way it goes :) 12:37 jwagner We got away from the first Wednesday of the month. Since paul_p is out all of August, maybe skip to early Sept? 12:38 thd jwagner: The danger would then be an extra long meeting next time. 12:38 Brooke not only that 12:38 thd Koha should never have a holiday. 12:38 paul_p thd = isn't this one extra long already ? :D 12:38 Brooke but string freeze is coming up soonish, yes? 12:38 cait-m__ will paul be there at 4 am? 12:39 Brooke doubt it 12:39 thd paul_p: Yes, but partly for the reason which jwagner cited. 12:39 mtompset perhaps keep it to august, because the next rotation may be europe friendlier? 12:39 oleonard 4AM and during your vacation eh paul_p? 12:39 cait-m__ so can be aug 12:40 paul_p oleonard lol ! 12:40 Brooke 1 August is still vaguely august 12:41 mtompset That's too close. 12:41 oleonard 1 August is in two weeks 12:41 Brooke yep 12:41 thd Exactly, whether during the summer leaving period or not, 2 UTC would be a difficulty for paul. 12:41 paul_p thd = well, in fact it's less difficult during holidays = I can go back to bed hereafter ;-) 12:41 oleonard I suggest 15 August 12:41 thd :) 12:42 paul_p the main question being = will I have internet where I go in fact ! 12:42 paul_p (still not sure) 12:42 mtompset If we do August 8, it would be easier to bump back to first wednesday of month. 12:42 thd mtompset++ 12:43 mtompset Let's see 2 UTC is... 12:43 Brooke 8 August 2 Utc 12:43 Brooke plus 1 please 12:43 wahanui 1 12:44 thd +1 12:44 jwagner +1 12:44 jcamins +1 12:44 libsysguy +1 12:44 davidnind +1 12:44 eythian wahanui: you don't even have a timezone 12:44 wahanui eythian: sorry... 12:44 * paul_p don't vote 12:45 * eythian probably won't be able to make that time this time around, but that's OK. 12:45 mtompset +1 12:45 cait-m__ 0 12:45 * mtompset is still trying to figure out the time difference to Manila. 12:45 Brooke #agreed next meeting is 8 August 2 UTC 12:45 Brooke #endmeeting 12:45 huginn Meeting ended Wed Jul 18 12:44:18 2012 UTC.

At least for me it correctly guesses my time zone 12:51 mtompset WolframAlpha? 12:51 wahanui WolframAlpha is telling me 8 hours, is that right? 12:51 oleonard http://www.wolframalpha.com 12:52 schuster how can I see if a particular cpan module is installed? 12:52 schuster debian system 12:52 jcamins schuster: use packages. 12:53 jcamins Barring that, perl -e "use Module; print 'Hi';" 12:53 schuster I want to specifically see if Business::ISBN is installed. 12:53 jcamins perl -e "use Business::ISBN; print 'Hi';" 12:54 oleonard Or check the Perl modules tab on Koha's about page 12:54 mtompset If you are using debian, DO NOT attempt to install from scratch. USE THE PACKAGES! 12:54 oleonard ...which is a christmas tree of red squares for me 12:54 eythian sounds like a lesson learnt there ;) 12:55 mtompset I actually tried, and encountered a messy headache, so I gave up. 12:55 mtompset Since we are using Ubuntu anyways, and I just wanted to see if my instructions would work for debian too. 12:55 eythian schuster: I'd do: "sudo apt-get install libbusiness-isbn-perl" which will either install it, or won't if it's already there. Regardless, you'll know that it's installed when this is complete. 12:56 mtompset oleonard++ 12:56 mtompset That wolframalpha site is cool. 12:58 schuster Koha says it is there, but I wanted to verify. I was trying to get the ISBN 10/13 working on my community box that I have on my test box and not sure why it isn't picking it up. 12:59 schuster I have I think what are the 2 patches to make it work, but after reindexing it still doesn't do it. 13:01 mtompset oh... did you restart the koha-zebra-daemon? 13:02 eythian it's rare to need to that 13:02 eythian only if you change zebra config 13:02 mtompset everytime I do a full reindex, I need to restart it. 13:02 eythian you shouldn't have to 13:02 mtompset The file handles go stale or something for me. 13:02 eythian weird 13:03 mtompset yes, weird. 13:03 mtompset I turn off apache, do a full reindex, restart the daemon, and start apache. 13:03 mtompset It avoids the memory problems we were having, and it works. 13:04 eythian I just reindex and it's immediately happy 13:04 mtompset how much memory do you have? 13:04 eythian depends. 2-4GB typically 13:04 eythian @wunder marseille 13:04 huginn eythian: The current temperature in Marseille, France is 33.0°C (2:30 PM CEST on July 18, 2012). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 18%. Dew Point: 6.0°C. Pressure: 30.06 in 1018 hPa (Steady). 13:04 mtompset we have 512MB. :) 13:04 eythian maybe your apache maxchilds is too high 13:05 eythian although 512 is on the low side 13:05 eythian especially if you're running mysql in that too 13:05 mtompset what's the conf file to check? 13:05 mtompset We're getting it bumped up. 13:06 oleonard @wunder 45701 13:06 huginn oleonard: The current temperature in OHDOT 31-Athens County Garage, Athens, Ohio is 24.4°C (8:30 AM EDT on July 18, 2012).

Heat advisory in effect from 1 PM this afternoon to 7 PM EDT this evening... 13:06 eythian /etc/apache2/apache.conf or something like that 13:06 oleonard Whoa, check out that humidity 13:06 mtompset @wunder MNL 13:06 huginn mtompset: The current temperature in Ninoy Aquino Inter-National Airport, Philippines is 26.0°C (8:00 PM PHT on July 18, 2012). Conditions: Rain. Humidity: 89%. Dew Point: 25.0°C. Pressure: 29.79 in 1009 hPa (Rising). 13:07 mtompset Welcome to the tropics. ;) 13:09 mtompset How do I know which module, eythian? 13:09 eythian it's whichever module you're running, probably mpm-itk 13:09 eythian which I think is the same as mpm-prefork 13:09 mtompset How do I know which module I am running? 13:09 eythian see which apache module you have installed 13:09 eythian you can only have one 13:10 mtompset How do I see which apache module I have installed? 13:10 eythian wholly cow 13:10 eythian you can just do this: 13:10 eythian apt-cache policy apache2-mpm* 13:10 eythian I didn't know that, that's neat 13:10 * eythian remember that trick 13:11 mtompset I came up with aptitude search apache | grep ^i 13:11 eythian that'd also work :) 13:11 jcamins_away @wunder 11375 13:11 huginn jcamins_away: The current temperature in APRSWXNET Jackson Heights NY US, Corona, New York is 30.0°C (8:42 AM EDT on July 18, 2012).

Heat advisory in effect until 6 PM EDT this evening... 13:11 eythian jcamins_away: that seems pleasantly cool :) 13:12 mtompset StartServers 5 13:12 mtompset MinSpareServers 5 13:12 mtompset MaxSpareServers 10 13:12 mtompset MaxClients 150 13:12 mtompset MaxRequestsPerChild 0 13:12 mtompset Which is too high? 13:13 eythian maxclients, you can't server 150 connections 13:13 eythian not in 512 13:13 mtompset True... that would probably eat our memory completely up. 13:13 dpavlin Why is MaxRequestsPerChild 0 ? 13:13 eythian I assume that means "no limit" 13:13 eythian but I don't really know 13:14 mtompset It's a default value. 13:14 oleonard No package for Template::Plugin::HtmlToText ? 13:15 eythian oleonard: it's in the koha repo 13:15 * mtompset smirks. 13:15 eythian but it's not depended on by default (my fault) 13:15 mtompset I think I grabbed that from jcamins. 13:15 * oleonard is running of of git, not Koha packages 13:15 mtompset It's not a required module. 13:15 eythian oh right 13:16 dpavlin eythian: MaxRequestsPerChild 0 == no limit, but I prefer number there just to be sure that something isn't leeking memory :-) 13:16 eythian it's worth adding the koha repo then anyway, you get some extra packages 13:16 eythian dpavlin: yeah 13:16 eythian dpavlin: though CGI perl shouldn't leak :) 13:16 mtompset Apache does leak. 13:16 * oleonard also doesn't find Data::Pagination or Data::Paginator 13:16 dpavlin eythian: true. plack is influencing my judgement :-) 13:16 mtompset I've watched ours leak about 1MB per koha page request. 13:16 eythian goodness 13:17 mtompset what number would you suggest, dpavlin? 13:19 mtompset Of course, the leak goes away, so it is more of poor garbage collection than a leak. 13:22 nengard looking for something easy to sign off on?? want to get on the scoreboard? :) bug 6716 13:22 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6716 enhancement, P3, ---, nengard, Needs Signoff , Database Documentation 13:28 mtompset Noooooooo.... not more reading. 13:28 * mtompset grins. 13:31 * mtompset decides working towards shutdown is a good idea. 13:31 * mtompset waves. 13:31 mtompset Bye, #koha. 14:05 tweetbot` [off] Twitter: @kohails: "#kohails KohaCon13 Venue Chosen http://t.co/cqeQNDn6" 14:16 schuster is there an LCCN number index? 14:17 schuster found it control-number 14:25 jcamins_away oleonard: Data::Pagination and Data::Paginator won't install on Squeeze. 14:27 jcamins_away At least, that is what I found. 14:27 jcamins_away The good news is, it doesn't matter. 14:27 oleonard So... what does that mean? 14:27 * jcamins_away gets grouchy and frustrated every time he tries to install master? :P 14:29 paul_p jcamins_away = and bug 8467 won't please you... 14:29 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8467 normal, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, NEW , Error during installation spool directory 14:29 jcamins_away paul_p: no, that was a silly mistake on my part. 14:29 jcamins_away However, there's already a signed off patch. 14:29 jcamins_away & QAed, really. 14:29 jcamins_away On bug 8268. 14:29 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8268 critical, P2, ---, jcamins, Signed Off , Koha should offer way to backup entire db 14:29 jcamins_away Waiting for you to push it. 14:30 jcamins_away :) 14:31 jcamins_away At least, that seems to be the same problem. 14:31 jcamins_away (your error message was in French and mine was in English, so they might be different;) 14:33 jcamins_away paul_p: I tested package installation and not normal installation. 14:36 * jcamins_away heads back home, having spent an hour traveling into the city only to learn that his client is out of town. 14:41 schuster nengard about? 14:41 nengard yes 14:41 tweetbot` [off] Twitter: @paul_poulain: "So, we will go to Reno, Nevada, next year, for #kohails KohaCon13 http://t.co/nm6MmVoI (Nigeria or Argentina, see you for kohacon14 !)" 14:42 schuster I was looking at the matching rules in the documentation and you reference LOC but for the tag you put 001 rather than 010? 14:42 drojf hey, i was promised kohacon 2014 in croatia :P 14:42 nengard hehe 14:42 nengard schuster what link? 14:42 nengard and I didn't write the matching rules part :) but I'll gladly edit it 14:43 schuster I don't know if the LOC even works actually for a matching rule. That's why I was looking at it I was trying to make it work. 14:43 nengard heh 14:43 nengard we do have a matching rule that we use at bywater for 001 14:43 pastebot "schuster" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "link to matching rules for LOC" (1 line) at http://paste.koha-community.org/38 14:44 nengard this one http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/catadmin.html#recordmatchingrules 14:44 schuster but that is mainly like OCLC numbers do you have any clients that match on LCCN? 14:44 schuster yes that one. 14:45 nengard not that i know of, but usually druthb or talljoy do the matching rules 14:45 nengard during migrations so they'd know better 14:45 nengard if you don't use OCLC though the 001 is the LOC number 14:47 schuster HUH? the 001 is whatever system number the record might come with. The record I'm playing with is from Follett. 14:48 nengard right sorry ? ignore me 14:48 nengard brain not working this week 14:49 jwagner The MARC standard for LCCN number is the 010 field, and that is indexed by default as LC-card-number,Identifier-standard 14:50 schuster Very odd - when I loaded it though with 001 it did match based on the 010. 14:50 schuster 001 as the tag match point. 15:04 nengard um 15:04 nengard this is why i did not write the matchpoints part of the manual 15:04 nengard cause they confuse the heck out of me 15:04 nengard sorry ?. 15:05 wizzyrea anyone have opinions on this? http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2720 15:05 huginn 04Bug 2720: enhancement, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Fines that debar automatically, should undebar automatically when paid. 15:05 wizzyrea on how he's suggesting this work? 15:11 cait-m__ hi all 15:17 wizzyrea hi cait 15:20 reiveune bye 15:21 cait-m__ hi wizzyrea 15:21 oleonard Why do you ask wizzyrea? It makes logical sense, but I wonder about the performance issue of adding another query in each pla?ce we display patron information 15:22 wizzyrea I ask because this is something that NEKLS wants to see happen 15:23 wizzyrea but I don't have a read on "the best way to do it" 15:26 cait-m__ hmm? 15:26 oleonard cait-m__: Bug 2720 15:26 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2720 enhancement, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Fines that debar automatically, should undebar automatically when paid. 15:29 cait-m__ ah thx :) 15:42 jcamins ARGH! 15:42 jcamins Don't use 001 for matching. 15:42 jcamins Really. 15:43 jcamins I know I am alone in this, but I feel it is a bad idea. 15:43 jcamins Oh, jwagner agrees with me. :) 15:43 jcamins schuster: use 010$a and LC-card-number. 15:44 jwagner jcamins, not always :-) If you have a catalog with only one type of control number in 001 (like OCLC), you can use it. 15:44 jwagner But I prefer combined matching rules, checking maybe 001, 035, 010, etc. 15:44 jcamins jwagner: if you are trying to overlay records from the same source, yeah, sure, use 001. 15:44 jcamins But don't confuse that situation with "001 has a standard number." 15:45 jwagner Yes. It depends on how clean the catalog is. If you're merging data from multiple sources, you can't really rely on it 15:46 jcamins schuster: ^^ exactly what I was trying to communicate. 15:51 jcamins @wunder 11375 15:51 huginn jcamins: The current temperature in APRSWXNET Jackson Heights NY US, Corona, New York is 35.0°C (11:12 AM EDT on July 18, 2012).

Excessive heat warning in effect until 6 am EDT Thursday... 15:57 nengard weather man said it would feel like 105 degrees with the humidity here 15:57 oleonard Whatever happened to Biblibre's enhancement to add editing to the circulation rules interface? 16:09 wizzyrea it got stuck with lack of testing 16:10 wizzyrea or it was lumped in with other changes that would have required basically live testing 16:11 mtompset Greetings, #koha. 16:11 mtompset I just wanted to cheer about getting my first class and subclass objects working. :) 16:12 jcamins mtompset: class and subclass objects? 16:12 jcamins What are you working on? 16:12 mtompset playing with Perl OO. 16:12 mtompset so that I can eventually clean up Auth. :) 16:12 jcamins Whoah! 16:12 jcamins mtompset++ 16:13 mtompset because I've been asked to get SAML 2.0 working for Koha. 16:13 mtompset And frankly... 16:13 mtompset Auth is ugly. 16:13 mtompset It needs to be prettier. 16:13 jcamins mtompset: you put that so diplomatically. 16:14 mtompset imagine there is a silent capital F on ugly. :) 16:14 oleonard I sure don't mind someone calling part of Koha ugly when it is prefaced by saying they're working on fixing it :) 16:15 mtompset have you seen ANY Koha implementation that actually used .htaccess? 16:15 mtompset because that's the only case I can figure that REMOTE_USER gets defined. 16:16 mtompset for authentication, that is. 16:17 mtompset That whole first IF part makes NO sense otherwise. 16:17 mtompset in checkauth. 16:18 SJeffery mtompset: Wouldn't .htaccess be used for IP athentication setups? 16:18 jcamins Is REMOTE_USER set with SSL? 16:18 mtompset hmm.... I didn't try https://192.168.69.37:8080/ 16:18 mtompset I only did the http version. 16:19 jcamins Well, you have to configure SSL. 16:19 mtompset That's what a development install is for. ;) 16:19 jcamins But I have a suspicion that REMOTE_USER might be set by Apache if you configure it to use SSL certificates. 16:20 mtompset I believe it is set when the browser is instructed to prompt for a username/password by an .htaccess file. 16:20 jcamins SSL certificates also include username. 16:20 mtompset Thanks for the extra test case... I'll try it later today... after I wake up. :) 16:21 jcamins eythian would know. 16:22 mtompset Hope I and paul haven't hijacked the EOL 3.4 thread you created, oleonard. :) 16:22 paul_p jcamins eythian just left 16:22 jcamins I know. 16:23 oleonard mtompset: Did you vote? :P 16:23 mtompset You said you wanted a discussion before voting. :P 16:24 mtompset Paul pointed out that EOL is EOL regardless of what we call it, and from a Developer perspective that is very true. 16:24 mtompset However, I think the terms "Orphaned" and "Killed" are better suited from the user perspective. 16:25 jcamins mtompset: we've been telling people to upgrade from 3.4 for a while. 16:25 oleonard jcamins: Then reply and vote for "killed" :) 16:26 mtompset Yes, but you haven't been telling them, "If you don't upgrade now, I won't support you any more." 16:26 mtompset Have you? 16:27 jcamins Sort of. 16:27 jcamins The vast majority of support questions are "why doesn't X work?" and the answer is often "X works in 3.6.x and 3.8.x, so you need to upgrade if you want it to work for you, too." 16:28 mtompset That's not quite a "I won't support you" problem. 16:28 mtompset That's a "The solution is upgrading" 16:28 jcamins Hmmm... 16:28 jcamins I'm not sure I see a distinction. 16:28 oleonard Sounds like "I won't support you unless you upgrade" to me 16:29 jcamins I will help people using 3.2 if their questions are about things that are the same between 3.2 and a recent version. 16:29 jcamins But I don't remember how 3.2 worked, so if they aren't seeing the same things I am, all I can say is "sorry, you'd have more luck getting support if you used a supported version." 16:30 mtompset That's more of an "orphan" than a kill. 16:30 mtompset A "kill" would see the same bug in master as 3.2, and still say, "You should upgrade." 16:31 jcamins Well, I'd say that, because they're never going to get the fix in 3.2. 16:31 jcamins Even if I fix it in master immediately. 16:32 mtompset But that's because you didn't fix it in 3.2 16:32 mtompset It's still EOL. 16:32 mib_2pnt4n good day everyone 16:32 jcamins Hello. 16:32 mib_2pnt4n i could use a quick pointer on a user problem 16:32 mtompset change the user? ;) 16:32 wahanui mtompset: that doesn't look right 16:32 jcamins mtompset: exactly, so if they want me to fix it, they have to upgrade. 16:32 mib_2pnt4n i am running 3.8 16:33 jcamins Yay! 16:33 * jcamins knows about 3.8. :) 16:33 jcamins Some. 16:33 jcamins ;) 16:33 mib_2pnt4n i have cataloged a book in OCLC connexion 16:33 mtompset Thank you for running a current version. :) 16:33 mib_2pnt4n downloaded the marc record 16:33 mib_2pnt4n and imported it into koha 16:33 mib_2pnt4n all went great 16:33 mib_2pnt4n but the book is not showing up in the catalog 16:34 mib_2pnt4n it also says "No physical items for this record" 16:34 mtompset indexing! :) 16:34 jcamins You need to have your Zebra reindexer running. 16:34 jcamins If you installed it from the tarball, you'll need to make sure rebuild_zebra is being run in your crontab. 16:34 jcamins If you installed it using the packages, you probably just need to wait a few minutes. 16:34 mib_2pnt4n actually we are working Bywater Solutions 16:34 mib_2pnt4n so i didn't isntall it 16:35 jcamins Oh, in that case you'll need to have ByWater fix up your crontab. 16:35 oleonard Sounds like a question for their support staff mib_2pnt4n 16:35 mib_2pnt4n ok 16:35 jcamins Yup. 16:35 jcamins They have a ticketing system. 16:35 oleonard That's what you're paying them for ;) 16:35 mib_2pnt4n yeah 16:35 mib_2pnt4n i submitted a ticket 16:35 jcamins [off] It used to be http://ticket.bywatersolutions.com/ but it might not be anymore. 16:35 bag :) 16:35 mib_2pnt4n i just wanted to see if there was a quick fix that I was missing 16:35 jcamins Probably not, no. 16:36 mib_2pnt4n ok cool 16:36 mib_2pnt4n thank you for your help 16:36 bag [off] not seeing that ticket ;) 16:44 jcamins Gotta love paul_p's encouraging comment about my RM candidacy. 16:44 jcamins :) 16:56 jcamins oleonard: have I successfully made you more confused? 16:56 oleonard I think I get it 16:57 jcamins Hm. 16:57 jcamins Well, next time I'll try harder to make it more confusing. 16:57 jcamins :P 16:57 oleonard I still wonder about the best way to encourage people to work on bugfixes instead of submitting more features 16:57 jcamins Ah, that I don't know. 16:58 jcamins But not pushing enhancements probably is not. 16:58 jcamins Though that was my first thought as well. 16:58 mbalmer ola 17:13 martian523 hi, i'm wondering if there's a way to connect to worldcat as one of the Z39.5 targets? 17:14 oleonard martian523: I think WorldCat wants you to pay for those records 17:14 SJeffery martian523: Yes, as long as you have the necessary login from OCLC. 17:14 SJeffery ^ Yes, you have to pay for them. 17:15 martian523 but using the worldcat web is free 17:15 martian523 that's so funny 17:15 jcamins martian523: worldcat.org is a faint shadow of WorldCat. 17:15 SJeffery Just wait until you see the prices they charge. 17:16 * jcamins has to talk to Skyriver at some point. They're supposed to be more affordable. 17:16 martian523 no luck for me then, since i don't think our library have the budget for this 17:17 jcamins Though they don't pay for records you upload, I don't think. 17:18 oleonard Funny how that works. 17:18 SJeffery jcamins: Their cost was not low enough for us to justify switching (keeping in mind that their dataquality is a notch lower). 17:18 SJeffery Martian523: You can still get almost all the records you will need from libraries with open Z39.50 servers. 17:21 martian523 well, yeah, but it's more convenient to just use one db and get all 17:21 martian523 do you know anything about eiNetwork? 17:33 oleonard Hi CharlottevL 17:33 CharlottevL hello..

You need to filter it and you need some sort of battery for when the sun isn't up. 20:05 * jcamins was picturing 1m^3 solar panels when you said "small" 20:05 wizzyrea right, those lights basically work on the principle that the battery runs the light, and the solar cell charges the battery 20:05 wizzyrea and they have a photodetector that turns off the light during the day 20:05 wizzyrea so battery only charges when it's light out 20:06 wizzyrea hehe no i meant 5cm^2 20:06 wizzyrea ;) 20:06 jcamins I mean, I thought drojf meant 1m^2 20:06 jcamins Not cubed, squared. 20:07 drojf heh i think that would be too much already 20:07 drojf the battery problem lead me to the controller thing. like this maybe http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-3A-solar-controller-regulator-solar-panel-charge-output-12v-8-4v-5v-3-3v-/390351673009?pt=UK_Gadgets&hash=item5ae2c5d6b1 20:07 jcamins So incredibly awesome.
