00:08 drojf          shouldn't bug 8701 be set to failed QA or something? seems like a change is expected, not a sign off
00:08 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8701 normal, P5 - low, ---, sandbergja, Needs Signoff , Help for OpacHiddenItems pref should not point to text in install directory
00:09 rangi          in discussion maybe
00:09 rangi          id like to encourage her, first patch and all
00:10 drojf          or that. don't want to discourage her, but needs sign off is slightly confusing :)
00:10 rangi          yep
00:11 rangi          in discussion is probably good

04:03 cjh            mtj: thanks for the signoff
04:04 cjh            jcamins_away: if you have some time I would like to hear your opinions re: my notes on http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3652#c36
04:04 huginn         04Bug 3652: critical, P1 - high, ---, chrish, Signed Off , XSS vulnerabilities
04:09 mtj            heya chris
04:09 mtj            well, goods news is that the jscript popup hack doesnt seem to work for me, on chrome or ff.16
04:10 mtj            oops, it just did on ff.16 :/
04:10 cjh            ff 16 it should work before the patch, not after.
04:11 cjh            chrome it never worked for me, chrome is too smart..
04:12 mtj            yep, thats right for me, yr patch fixes it on ff.16
04:12 cjh            awesome :)
04:13 mtj            d00d, thats a well crazy hack :p
04:13 cjh            heh, sadly quotes were always escaped so I couldnt say anything interesting.
04:14 mtj            choccy fish in the mail
04:16 cjh            heh, maybe we should start a Koha choccy-fish-fund.
04:16 cjh            heading home, have a good weekend/weekday everyone :)
04:16 mtj            cool, have a good one
04:24 wajasu         cjh: funny, i was just testing 3652 on 3.6.x branch.
04:26 cait           have a nice weekend nz :)
04:31 mtj            thanx cait
04:32 mtj            ive been sick for 2 weeks, looking forward to a beer this weekend
04:32 wajasu         rangi: 3652 is now signed off for 3.8.x (shall i continue against 3.6.x and master)?
04:32 cait           mtj: glad you feel better
04:36 mtj            wajasu, hmm i actually tested those against master
04:36 mtj            so, i might flick the version to reflect that
04:39 wajasu         but did cjh test against master is the question
04:40 wajasu         for his 1st two patches
04:41 wajasu         i had to reconcile his 1st patch for 3.6.x
04:42 mtj            he prolly tested against 3.8
04:44 mtj            a quick eyeball (and some testing) says the difference is zero between versions
04:44 wajasu         between 3.8.x and master, right?
04:45 mtj            yep
04:47 wajasu         ok, i will just attach my reconciled patch for 3.6.x for the 1st patch, and apply/test against master, and comment at the bottom.
04:47 mtj            hopefully we'll get the the XSS stuff sorted into 3.8/3.6 in the next few days
05:14 wajasu         i'm not going to comment. it will only confuse folks.  so i am bailing out on this for now.
06:26 rangi          wajasu: yes he did
06:27 rangi          everyone should always test and develop against master
06:27 rangi          then it gets cherry picked back
06:27 rangi          the rmmaints will ask for version specific patches if they are needed
06:27 rangi          but signoffs should be against master
06:32 alex_a         bonjour tout le monde

06:44 reiveune       hello
06:59 Maxie2012      Hi!  I am very interested to install Koha (have already downloaded Ver 3.8.05), but am new to Koha and the Linux environment. I am also looking to host it on a Cloud platform - currently sourcing for a suitable vendor/site, and already have a trial site to install Koha.  However, I have no idea how to start!  Can anybody help me please??
07:00 Maxie2012      I wasn't even able to Unpack the Koha package that I downloaded...
07:10 gaetan_B       hello
07:21 francharb      hello #koha
07:48 WaylonR        Hey all. just thought....  MultiBranch "assigning multiple branches to a patron" is a seperate concept to MultiBranchSelect "Allow searching of multiple branches from advanced search (without categories)" yes?
07:49 Viktor         Hi!
07:49 WaylonR        hmm .maybe not seperate concept, but requiring of a different Syspref?
07:50 WaylonR        its possible that some libraries who don't want to use the multibranchuser feature, want the multibranchselect feature?
07:50 Viktor         Just popping in with a question: do we have two-step verification during login to staff that I don't know of?
07:51 WaylonR        as far as i know Viktor .. just the user/pass/ip restriction system.
07:51 WaylonR        or LDAP.
07:51 Viktor         Thansk WaylonR Thinking about setting up a RFC for that but would be akward if I just missed whats there :)
07:52 Viktor         I think it would be a good idea to make users login in from new IPs answer a security question, reply to an e-mail or something like that.
07:53 Viktor         Especially if they try to log in from a new geographical area. Users often select not so good passwords :)
07:55 magnuse        Viktor: it's possible to restrict access to the staff client to a set of IP adresses (but i have not checked it actually works)
07:56 magnuse        other than that it's just plain username/password
07:56 rangi          you can restrict at the firewall too, or in apache
07:56 magnuse        Viktor: you are thinking of staff users, right?
07:56 Viktor         Thanks rangi & magnuse
07:57 magnuse        or patrons in the opac too?
07:58 Viktor         I think it would be good for patrons too actually. It shows that the library takes their privacy seriously. But for opac it should be optional for the users - they move around much more than staff.
07:58 Viktor         I know people love the idea of being able to log in from home, but many have dynamic IPs.
07:59 Viktor         So: added security for staff users who arrive frow weird new IPs is my top priority.
08:00 Viktor         While still keeping it accessible from the public net.
08:00 magnuse        cool
08:00 magnuse        some kind of temporary ip restriction, then
08:02 magnuse        if the current ip restriction in koha works for the staff client, it shouldn't be too hard to add new ones and require email verification before they are usable, i think
08:02 Viktor         Nice - magnuse
08:03 Viktor         So we just add the possibility of lifting the restriction by doing something like email verification, security question and so on(?) I like that.
08:03 magnuse        i think of it as temporarily adding a new ip to the allowed IPs, but yeah something like that
08:04 Viktor         If we do get additional funding that might be something we want to have created in 2013. I´ll take notes in Pivotal and add it to the list.
08:04 magnuse        yay
08:06 Viktor         Thanks guys! I´ll have to up the blood sugar level now - time for coffebreak :)
08:07 kf             oh
08:07 kf             now I missed Viktor
08:07 magnuse        he didn't log off, though
08:08 magnuse        Viktor: have a look at http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/administration.html#AutoLocation for current ip restriction functionality
08:25 drojf          good day #koha

08:29 drojf          did i sleepwalk-signoff again? :)
08:29 drojf          ah yes the alphabet. it's a cool patch!
08:30 drojf          i'm all for making stuff work for crazy scripts and languages
08:31 drojf          s/crazy/cool/
08:31 magnuse        crazy = cool :-)
08:32 WaylonR        crazy == cool ? yes : no

08:39 WaylonR        guys.... this needs some karma swing here.
08:39 drojf          i bet that is going to decrease a lot more

08:43 Viktor         Thanks magnuse
08:44 Viktor         (Lost the connection while I was away so I can't see if there was other stuff said)
08:46 WaylonR        didn't miss much. only us askign the bot about windows8.
08:46 WaylonR        windows8?
08:46 wahanui        i think windows8 is due in a few days, may it bring us lots of new linux users. :)
08:48 Viktor         I like that MS have dared to move away from the traditional interface, but I really hope people won't try to use touchscreens on desktop.
08:48 drojf          is it too much self-praise to nominate koha for the free software award for projects of social benefit?
08:48 WaylonR        karma for koha?
08:48 wahanui        koha has karma of -44
08:48 WaylonR        karma for koha-community?

08:48 kf             hm it depends on who does it maybe? I am not sure how that works
08:49 WaylonR        karma for community-koha?

08:49 rangi          @karma koha
08:49 huginn         rangi: Karma for "koha" has been increased 33 times and decreased 3 times for a total karma of 30.
08:49 WaylonR        ah.. two karma dbs.
08:50 WaylonR        drojf, think it would be fine, honestly. as long as theres no rule about it.
08:50 drojf          https://www.fsf.org/news/the-free-software-foundation-opens-nominations-for-the-15th-annual-free-software-awards
08:52 mtj            WaylonR, only huginn runs the karma plugin, wahanui is just chatting to you...
08:52 magnuse        logs?
08:52 wahanui        i heard logs was http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
08:52 magnuse        that was for Viktor :-)
08:53 drojf          that are some big names that got that award before :) maybe we are not as important to mankind as tor or cc
08:53 magnuse        and Viktor, getting a good irc client like xchat or something will save you some frustrations in the long run :-)
08:54 magnuse        drojf: libraries are important, and we help libraries :-)
08:55 Viktor         magnuse - Yep :) But I'm currently on my work computer that is lock-down galore.
08:55 magnuse        woohoo!
08:56 drojf          magnuse: that was my thought. koha enables people and institutions to use professional library automation that would not have had that opportunity without (this piece of) free software
08:56 mtj            oops, wahanui is running a karma plugin too?!
08:56 WaylonR        drojf, id suggest finding a library that would nom us.
08:56 magnuse        drojf: yup! and we can find lots and lots of places where koha is bringing state of the art library tech to places that could not afford it with proprietary systems
08:57 magnuse        karma for koha?
08:57 wahanui        koha has karma of -44
08:57 magnuse        karma for koha?
08:57 wahanui        koha has karma of -44
08:57 magnuse        at least it's consistent
09:00 kf             WaylonR: well, drojf is a library :P
09:01 WaylonR        well. there you go then.
09:01 drojf          oh, that's right lol
09:01 WaylonR        drojf, nom community-koha
09:01 WaylonR        [off] not that diluted liblime koha
09:06 Maxie2012      Hi!  Was wondering if anybody can help me?  I'm new to Koha and Linux but would like to install Koha onto a cloud based server and really need help on how to start...I posted this earlier but my connection dropped, so I'm not sure if anyone sent me a response....sorry:(
09:09 Maxie2012      I have downloaded the Ver 3.8.05 package, but have not been able to unpack it as I'm not on Linux, but on a Windows 7 environment.  I am assuming I need to be in Linux to unpack?
09:10 drojf          Maxie2012: is windows running on your server?
09:11 Maxie2012      Yes....well, technically speaking I downloaded it to my desktop PC...
09:12 Maxie2012      I am in the process of engaging someone to host a server for me to install Koha on
09:12 drojf          Maxie2012: so you do not have a server yet?
09:13 kf             Maxie2012: you can only install koha under windows. You could unapck it with the right tool, but it would not work
09:13 kf             so if you only wanted to take a look at the files and install text files that is ok in windows, but for installing you need a linux environment of some kind
09:13 gerundio       drojf, hi, back today and working to submit the patch
09:13 drojf          Maxie2012: you would want your server to run debian gnu/linux. debian squeeze to be precise. you would log into your server via ssh and do the installation there. you cannot use koha on windows at all
09:13 drojf          gerundio: cool! thanks for your work
09:14 magnuse        kf did probably not mean to say "you can only install koha under windows"...
09:14 gerundio       all I have to do is follow those instructions in the page you sent me yesterday, right? http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration
09:14 kf             oups
09:14 kf             yep typo
09:14 kf             sorry
09:14 kf             only under linux!!
09:14 magnuse        :-)
09:15 gerundio       I'm under linux :)
09:15 drojf          gerundio: yes
09:17 gerundio       but 1st off I need to checkout a git clone, right?
09:18 Maxie2012      No, I do not have the server yet.  I have been trying to go through whatever documentation available on the web, including koha-community.org, so as to understand the hardware/software requirements.
09:18 drojf          gerundio: oh i thought you would have been working with git already. one sec
09:18 gerundio       not really, I was trying out with a test installation :)
09:19 gerundio       http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Dev_Env_Setup
09:19 gerundio       this is it, right?
09:19 drojf          gerundio: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git
09:19 mtj            Maxie2012, i use linode.com for Koha hosting , they are great
09:19 Maxie2012      I am currently trying to engage someone to host a Linux server for me and I have even specified that I want Debian.
09:20 cjh            linode are fantastic.
09:20 drojf          Maxie2012: that is good. then you would either have to wait until you have it, or try koha in a virtual machine running debian on top of your windows system before you have the server ready
09:21 Maxie2012      Where is linode.com based?  Would they have an issue supporting me way out here in Singapore?
09:22 cjh            Maxie2012: they have various sites http://www.linode.com/speedtest/
09:23 cjh            they will give you a linux server you can ssh to (connect remotely), from this you can install Koha yourself.
09:25 mtj            i have one in tokyo, works perfect
09:26 Maxie2012      Ok...on top of Debian, I read that I need to download all the other software as well i.e. Apache, MySql, Perl etc?
09:27 cjh            Maxie2012: yes, once you have a server you may have to install those. The debian package manager (apt-get) makes this easy though.
09:27 mtj            if you use the debian package for Koha, it does all that for you
09:27 mtj            # apt-get install koha-common
09:27 mtj            finished....
09:28 mtj            :)
09:28 drojf          packages?
09:28 wahanui        i guess packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
09:28 cjh            http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.8_on_Debian_Squeeze
09:30 magnuse        hm, i'm trying to activate the ccsr theme on master, based on instructions here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8597#c60 but i get a lot of 404s for css and js files - anyone got any tips? head.bibkat.no
09:30 huginn         04Bug 8597: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, fcapovilla, Pushed to Master , New theme for the OPAC with a mobile view
09:30 mtj            hey, this looks snazzy  -> http://search.cpan.org/~book/Git-Repository-1.27/lib/Git/Repository/Tutorial.pod
09:31 cjh            oh wow.
09:31 mtj            a perl module to manip a git repo
09:32 Maxie2012      sorry...I downloaded the koha-3.08.05.tar from the http://koha-community.org/support/...is that the same as the debian package you are referring to?
09:32 drojf          magnuse: from the comments one patch was missing at some point
09:33 mtj            hmm, Maxie2012 what are you trying to do here?
09:33 magnuse        drojf: i'm on uptodate master
09:33 mtj            Maxie2012, are you attempting to install Koha on your windows pc? coz that wont work
09:34 magnuse        Maxie2012: no, tar files and packages are different things
09:34 magnuse        Maxie2012: see the wiki pages that were pointed out earliuer for info about the debian packages
09:35 Maxie2012      No...as I said, I'm trying to engage someone to host a Linux server for me to install Koha on
09:35 drojf          magnuse: weird, it says it was pushed. but the error sounds exactly like the one for the missing patch
09:36 cjh            Maxie2012: the .tar file and the debian package both contain the same version of koha, the package is just better suited to installing on debian. If you want to look through it then the .tar is fine.
09:36 cjh            Maxie2012: once you have a host (running debian) you can follow http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.8_on_Debian_Squeeze
09:39 Maxie2012      ok, great!  Will definitely take your advice on the package!
09:40 Maxie2012      One LAST question....does Linode.com charge a lot for their hosting services?
09:41 cjh            Maxie2012: http://www.linode.com/ scroll down to "Plans and availability" there start at 20USD/month.
09:41 magnuse        Maxie2012: the prices are on their front page: https://www.linode.com/ :-)
09:42 cjh            s/there/they/*
09:42 magnuse        for just testing koha the cheapest one should be fine
09:42 drojf          are you all using linode?
09:43 * magnuse      is
09:43 * cjh          is, but not for Koha
09:44 magnuse        ah problem probably solved, i was trying to view the opac as nb-NO, guess i have to install translations
09:44 cjh            magnuse: awesome!
09:44 drojf          ah. i tried the theme once, but not with translation
09:46 drojf          magnuse: i remember reading your first post a while ago about the young nerdy librarian wanting to offer koha on amazon. so you ditched that for linode eventually?
09:47 magnuse        drojf: yup
09:47 drojf          cool"
09:47 drojf          cool!
09:47 drojf          every step away from amazon is a step in the right direction :P
09:47 cjh            heh
09:48 magnuse        drojf: aws is probably awesome when you need more servers, failovers etc. but the way i parsed it, it's not ideal when all you want is a single server
09:49 cjh            I dont like how they do their pricing either.
09:49 drojf          magnuse: to be honest did not even understand half the stuff i read about aws. "what if i just want a server" was exactly what i was thinking when i had a look at what they offer
09:50 cjh            for a small website aws just feels like it would be one web crawler away from backruptcy
09:50 drojf          lol
09:51 magnuse        drojf: well, you can do it, but you have to think about a lot of bits and pieces, ebs for persitent disk space, s3 for backup etc etc - i have not follewed that closely fr a couple years now
09:51 drojf          also, *cough*evil corporation*cough*
09:52 drojf          i would prefer to invest my thinking into other stuff
09:53 Maxie2012      Wow!  Thanks all for the info....really helped a lot :)
09:53 drojf          \o/
09:53 drojf          too late
09:53 drojf          but still
09:53 cjh            nawww
09:53 cjh            o/*\o
09:53 drojf          :)
09:53 magnuse        hehe
10:01 magnuse        ah, not quite that simple - had to run "perl translate create nb-NO; perl translate install nb-NO" as decribed here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8633#c6 but now the new theme works for nb-NO too. and there is more translation work to do, it seems...

10:03 modabber       hi
10:03 wahanui        salut, modabber
10:04 modabber       i am facing problem in setting permission for kohauser in debian
10:14 vkm            please help i have created folder and given link from opacheader but it does not work the link is http://172.23.14.200/opac-tmpl/prog/www/docs/book_indent.doc
10:15 vkm            172.23.14.200/opac-tmpl/prog/www/docs/book_indent.doc
10:16 vkm            www folder created in prog folder where images, en folders are there
10:20 mtj            vkm, what are you trying to do?
10:20 mtj            and, that url does not work for me
10:21 vkm            i have created one link from opac to my save file which can be open by the users
10:24 vkm            the file is saved in the koha server itself
10:24 vkm            it is on LAN
10:26 mtj            does this link work for you ?
10:26 mtj            in a browser?
10:27 mtj            hav you checked the permissions of the dir/file, etc?
10:27 vkm            where
10:27 mtj            have you looked in the apache log to see why its failing?
10:28 modabber       it is on lan
10:28 vkm            image which i have saved in image folder is working fine
10:29 mtj            hmm, i dont know then… sorry :/
10:30 vkm            but when given link to a created new folder it does not works
10:31 vkm            i think if simply saved the file without creating folder it may work
10:32 vkm            saved in default folders

10:37 modabber       sorry
10:38 modabber       i am uing koha, installed in debian
10:38 slef           modabber: don't be sorry. I was talking to wahanui
10:38 modabber       i am manually giving indext command from the root user
10:38 modabber       only then it works
10:39 modabber       but cron job is not working as kohasau which is the kohauser
10:45 magnuse        @arewethereyet
10:45 huginn         magnuse: YES!
10:45 magnuse        guess it depends on your definition of "there", huginn
10:46 magnuse        the dashboard says "2012-10-22 - Release date for 3.10.0" - that should be 2012-11-22, right?
10:46 mtj            yep :)
10:46 magnuse        ta
10:47 mtj            oops, i think it is 2012-10-22
10:47 mtj            ie: 3 days time
10:47 magnuse        gah, better start translating or something then :-)
10:48 magnuse        mtj: you're kidding, right?
10:49 mtj            aah, delayed 1 month -> http://koha-community.org/koha-newsletter-volume-3-issue-8-august-2012/#310
10:49 mtj            so 2012-11-22…. not 2012-10-22
10:51 magnuse        phew

11:46 gerundio       drojf, I was looking at http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7973
11:46 huginn         04Bug 7973: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, In Discussion , Allow for new type of LDAP authentication
11:46 gerundio       the reported bug which I've worked to come up with a new patch
11:47 gerundio       can I simply just submit a new attachment there for revision?
11:57 magnuse        anyone else tried the ccsr theme with translations?
11:58 kf             magnuse: there was a patch
11:58 kf             to fix the translation scripts
11:58 kf             becasue they won't take them into account right now I think - not sur eif it has been pushed
11:58 kf             magnuse: some things will probably not work, some things are in the css I think :(
11:59 magnuse        yeah, but i'm getting this nastiness: Could not create file parser context for file "/home/magnus/kohahead/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/ccsr/nb-NO/xslt/NORMARCslim2OPACResults.xsl": No such file or directory at /home/magnus/kohahead/C4/XSLT.pm line 218
11:59 magnuse        it works for english, but not when i switch to norwegian
11:59 magnuse        i get that error when i try to search
12:14 kf             magnuse: ah, I think you figured it out - missing part in the translation script probably?
12:15 magnuse        kf: probably, but i don't really have the time to investigate further now
12:16 jcamins_away   magnuse: are you sure you're on latest master?
12:16 magnuse        jcamins_away: yup
12:16 jcamins_away   Hm.
12:16 jcamins_away   The last theming patch, the one that Paul pushed a week after the others, was to deal with that problem.
12:18 magnuse        jcamins_away: this one? commit 6a4cbbba6095791926d925cb14bd286dea16c835 Bug 8633 Manage OPAC alternate templates
12:18 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8633 normal, P5 - low, ---, frederic, Pushed to Master , Translate script hardcoded to prog template
12:18 jcamins_away   No.
12:19 jcamins_away   Something about XSLT fallbacks.
12:19 jcamins_away   ccsr doesn't have XSLTs.
12:19 jcamins_away   (by design)
12:19 jcamins_away   I'll give it a quick poke.
12:19 magnuse        yay
12:20 magnuse        this? commit 33113e69c0eb2faccceb917ce19e26225259df8d Bug 8622: Fix theme fallback
12:20 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8622 major, P3, ---, jcamins, Pushed to Master , Koha themes broken
12:21 jcamins_away   That's the one.
12:22 magnuse        it shows up in git log...
12:24 jcamins_away   I'm installing nb-NO now.
12:24 magnuse        woohoo! ;-)
12:24 oleonard       Hi #koha
12:25 magnuse        kia ora oleonard
12:27 jcamins_away   I confirm the bug.
12:28 magnuse        yay, sort of...
12:28 jcamins_away   Fixed it.
12:29 jcamins_away   Some of the fallback logic was backwards.
12:29 magnuse        jcamins++
12:30 tcohen         morning #koha
12:31 magnuse        jcamins_away: if you do a patch i'll sign off real quick :-)
12:31 jcamins_away   I'm preparing the patch now.
12:31 jcamins_away   And eating pear bread.
12:31 jcamins_away   (which is delicious)
12:31 magnuse        bread with pear in it, or shaped like a pear?
12:31 jcamins_away   Bread with pear in it.
12:31 magnuse        ah
12:37 jcamins_away   Patch attached.
12:39 * magnuse      will test
12:40 drojf          @later tell gerundio yes, i would attach the patch to that bug. make sure to obsolete the other patch (remove the # when attaching your patch) if yours is completely rewritten and not just a followup based on the other
12:40 huginn         drojf: The operation succeeded.
12:49 * jcamins_away heads into the city.
12:58 magnuse        jcamins_away: signed off - thanks for a quick response!
13:07 drojf          is michael stephens some kind of library vip? "librarian, blogger" does not sound too amazing by itself. i'm starting to get annoyed by a lot of anouncements for a "tour" he seems to be doing in germany
13:09 oleonard       Never heard of him.
13:17 drojf          seems like nengard knows him
13:17 nengard        yes I do
13:18 magnuse        [off] http://tametheweb.com/about-michael-stephens/
13:18 nengard        and yes he is (in my opinion)
13:18 drojf          magnuse: that's where i got that information ;) searching there for koha
13:24 drojf          lousy unstable internet connection
13:25 WaylonR        same
13:25 WaylonR        wasn't just you
13:25 drojf          lousy global internet connection
13:36 gerundio       drojf, did you read my question before? almost 2 hours ago...
13:36 drojf          gerundio: yes, you should have received a message now :)
13:37 gerundio       so how about it, could I just submit a new attachment for that bug?
13:38 drojf          gerundio: yes, i would attach the patch to that bug. make sure to obsolete the other patch (remove the # when attaching your patch) if yours is completely rewritten and not just a followup based on the other
13:38 drojf          (you should have gotten the same message as a pm from huginn by now)
13:38 gerundio       its a complete rewrite :)
13:38 gerundio       I did
13:38 gerundio       thanks
13:38 drojf          then check for the "Obsolte patch xxx" line when attaching the patch
13:38 drojf          obsolete even
13:39 drojf          and uncomment it
13:39 gerundio       my IRC connection drops when I'm away from the PC for 30+ minutes
13:39 drojf          are you in mibbit?
13:39 gerundio       so I didn't receive it the 1st time
13:39 drojf          i think the webchat kicks you after some time
13:40 gerundio       not really, Xchat, a regular IRC client for Windows
13:40 drojf          oh. then that's weird
13:40 gerundio       just my energy saving settings I guess :D
13:40 drojf          ah :)
13:40 gerundio       the PC goes to sleep when I'm afk
13:41 user220        the ping timeout irks me. I've prettly clearly nailed it down to my computer being unable to ping the oftc server after a certain period of time
13:42 user220        I suspect it's a power setting (vs screensaver), but I can't find any setting for it.
13:42 user220        It happens with different clients, both xchat and konversation
13:43 gerundio       btw, the submited file should be a regular diff?
13:44 oleonard       Patches attached to bugs should be generated by git
13:45 drojf          gerundio: if you have set up git and git bz correctly it does all the magic for you when you 'git bz attach -e <bugnumber> HEAD'. i just attaches a diff for your changes
13:45 drojf          also what oleonard says, if you attach a patch manually we will have problems testing it
13:46 oleonard       Well, attaching the patch manually to the bug is fine as long as it is in the right format
13:46 oleonard       Meaning you don't have to use git-bz if you don't want to, it just makes it easier
13:47 drojf          ok, my only encounters with manually attached patches were those with problems :)
13:47 oleonard       I'm assuming your problems were with the patches themselves rather than the way they were attached in Bugzilla
13:48 drojf          nope, i'm talking about comments on the bugtracker asking developers to resubmit patches in the correct format
13:49 drojf          i would not know about hundreds of manually attached patches that worked well of course :)
13:49 oleonard       No one says "Please use git-bz to attach your patch rather than manually uploading a patch which you generated via git format-patch"
13:49 oleonard       ...because how did we do it before git-bz? :)
13:51 drojf          we carved it in stone? :)
13:52 drojf          back in the days we even cave painted patches
13:54 drojf          says drojf, having his first patch pushed somewhen around july 2012 :D
13:58 gerundio       drojf, tried using git bz but I guess I don't have it correctly set
13:58 drojf          what's happening?
13:59 drojf          (or not happening?)
13:59 gerundio       I'll just submit the patch file which I got with git diff and add the necessary comments
14:00 drojf          i think you should do git format-patch as oleonard suggested
14:00 pastebot       "gerundio" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "this is what I got when I ran git gz" (21 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/241
14:01 drojf          that may be just the error when you need too long to save your file. wait
14:01 drojf          yes
14:01 drojf          http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration#git_bz_attach_-e_timeout
14:01 drojf          you have to save the file faster, that's all
14:04 gerundio       lolol, ok I'll try
14:04 drojf          gerundio: it's a very common error, you only have like 5 seconds
14:05 drojf          you can just try the git attach part again
14:05 oleonard       It's very high-pressure hacking, like a scene from Swordfish
14:05 gerundio       I just re-submitted
14:05 gerundio       it worked
14:06 gerundio       I'll just add a more complete comment in bug tracker directly
14:06 drojf          you should also switch the status to "needs signoff2 when you do that
14:06 drojf          without the 2
14:06 gerundio       hmmm
14:06 gerundio       it didn't work out quite as expected
14:07 gerundio       the file submited is not even the correct one :(
14:07 oleonard       Are you in the wrong branch gerundio?
14:07 drojf          did you commit your changes in git?
14:08 oleonard       nengard++ # for documentation patches
14:08 gerundio       I just used "git clone git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git"
14:08 nengard        :) thanks oleonard
14:08 nengard        still not done with the 3.10 manual, but getting as much of it in to the help files as I can
14:08 gerundio       is it possible to remove that patch?
14:08 gerundio       it has nothing to do with the changes I've made
14:09 drojf          yes, you can obsolete the patch manually
14:09 drojf          click on "details" for your attachment
14:10 drojf          and on "edit details"
14:10 drojf          there is a "obsolete" checkbox
14:10 drojf          s/a/an/
14:10 gerundio       done :D
14:11 drojf          no worries, git is a little confusing in the beginning. you will get used to it :)
14:12 drojf          so you just cloned?
14:12 drojf          you should open a new branch for your bug. i use the bug number for that. something like "git checkout -b bug_7379 origin/master"
14:13 drojf          then you get a branch to play with. do your changes there. when you are done, commit your changed files wit "git commit -a" for all or "git commit <filename>" for each file
14:15 gerundio       drojf, I'm still a SVN guy
14:15 drojf          gerundio: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git#Do_some_work might help. it also describes how your commit message is supposed to look
14:17 gerundio       ok
14:17 gerundio       2nd try then :)
14:19 drojf          good luck :)
14:20 tweetbot`      [off] twitter: @kohails: "#kohails  The mobile theme is coming! http://t.co/uV7JYnPm"
14:20 oleonard       Oh no, hide your children!
14:26 drojf          nengard: i know i'm annoying, but is there a reason why the bywater twitter links all hop through a multitude of urls before they reach bywatersolutions.com?
14:26 drojf          [off] http://paste.koha-community.org/242
14:27 drojf          i would click your links with a lot more passion if i would not have to say "hello google" several times per click ;)
14:27 nengard        Hmmm ? they shouldn't do that anymore
14:27 nengard        I thought I turned off the feedburner redirecting
14:27 nengard        it's because of the services we're using to post to twitter automatically
14:27 nengard        I'll need to look in to it later though cause today is help file day :)
14:27 drojf          thanks :)
14:33 kf             hm
14:33 kf             best installation manual for settng up the cronjobs?
14:33 kf             zebra?
14:33 wahanui        zebra is, like, a fielded free text indexing and retrieval engine with a Z39.50 front-end. You can use any compatible, commercial, or freeware Z39.50 client to access data stored in Zebra. or the search engine koha uses
14:34 kf             :)
14:35 kf             I should phrase a proper question I guess :) where are currently sending people installing koha that have to set up the cronjob for reindexing?
14:35 * kf           checks the wiki
14:35 drojf          to install the packages so they do it for them? :P

14:58 rambutan       cuba. Interesting
15:01 oleonard       rambutan: ?
15:04 reiveune       bye
15:13 * wizzyrea     waves
15:14 rambutan       oleonard: post to koha-dev
15:15 oleonard       Hi wizzyrea
15:15 drojf          hey wizzyrea
15:15 wahanui        rumour has it wizzyrea is a Cylon, and they all have plans
15:15 drojf          lol
15:16 gerundio       drojf, just followed all the instructions you gave me before
15:17 pastebot       "gerundio" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Bug 7379 attachment" (7 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/243
15:17 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7379 normal, P3, ---, adrien.saurat, Pushed to Master , copynumber is displayed 'as is' when linked to autorised values
15:17 drojf          gerundio: cool, did something explode?
15:17 gerundio       not really, everything seems to go smooth this time
15:17 gerundio       check that paste
15:18 gerundio       it's the output of the git bz attach command
15:18 drojf          err, wrong bug number :)
15:18 gerundio       but still, the attachment didn't show up in the bugtracker :D
15:18 drojf          it did
15:18 drojf          at some other bug
15:18 gerundio       arghhhhhhh
15:18 kf             oh
15:19 kf             I just wrote a comment
15:19 drojf          heh. happens
15:19 * kf           hands gerundio a chocolate chip cookie
15:19 kf             we have all been there already
15:19 kf             (variious times...)
15:19 wizzyrea       oh yes, so many times.
15:20 jcamins        wizzyrea: have you packed your supply of the horrifying dairy substitute that is our national "cheese"?
15:20 gerundio       fixed
15:20 wizzyrea       i'm realizing there are lots of things "american" that I don't eat.
15:20 wizzyrea       so, no.
15:20 gerundio       kf, I bet you did... :)
15:20 kf             gerundio: you can mark it obsolete - so noone will stumble upon it :)
15:21 gerundio       just did that on the other bug
15:21 jcamins        wizzyrea: but horrifying dairy substitute is excellent!
15:21 gerundio       and added a comment
15:21 rambutan       something wrong with velveta?
15:21 kf             cool
15:21 wizzyrea       um...
15:21 wizzyrea       it's not cheese?
15:21 jcamins        It's... just like cheese, except without any of its advantages and with all its disadvantages.
15:21 oleonard       wizzyrea: conversely, it's remarkably difficult to think of an American food one would want to bring as a gift to another country
15:21 gerundio       http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7379 ... is that ok kf?
15:21 huginn         04Bug 7379: normal, P3, ---, adrien.saurat, Pushed to Master , copynumber is displayed 'as is' when linked to autorised values
15:22 drojf          looks fine to me
15:22 wizzyrea       oleonard: yes!
15:22 gerundio       ok, so now the patch looks fine and I hope it gets approved
15:22 wizzyrea       oleonard: only beer, and they are a bit titchy about that kind of stuff (especially in kansas with our completely bizarre liquor laws(
15:23 jcamins        oleonard: I generally go with fudge.
15:23 oleonard       jcamins: especially since you make it yourself
15:23 jcamins        wizzyrea: Kansas has bizarre liquor laws?
15:23 rambutan       sure it is. if it isn't, blame the Swiss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velveeta
15:23 wizzyrea       i'm not sure you could get that through customs
15:23 jcamins        oleonard: well, yeah. Sometimes I make brownies, though.
15:24 kf             gerundio: looks good
15:24 drojf          gerundio: have you attached it to the correct bug number?
15:24 * wizzyrea     doesn't consider it cheese. It has more than 5 ingredients. :P
15:24 drojf          ah its UTC. i was confused about the time
15:24 wizzyrea       cheese should have milk, salt, acid, maybe color.
15:24 rambutan       highly nutritious. American Medical Association seal of approval.
15:24 drojf          gerundio: one last thing
15:24 gerundio       tell me about it
15:24 kf             wizzyrea: I heard peanut butter was a good gift
15:24 wizzyrea       :)
15:24 drojf          gerundio: you did not use the -e option so you have to manually obsolete the old patch
15:24 wizzyrea       yea, it is
15:25 gerundio       ok ok
15:25 kf             :)
15:25 gerundio       on my way to do it now :)
15:25 gerundio       done
15:26 drojf          gerundio++
15:26 drojf          now we have to find somebody with an ldap setup to test that :/
15:27 jcamins        wizzyrea: what about Murcia al Vino?
15:27 wizzyrea       ok wine is also an acceptable ingredient ;)
15:27 wahanui        okay, wizzyrea.
15:28 wizzyrea       wine?
15:28 wahanui        wine is an acceptable ingredient ;)
15:28 wizzyrea       LOL!
15:28 wizzyrea       perfect.
15:28 oleonard       No matter what the question.
15:28 wizzyrea       ^^
15:28 wizzyrea       What do I do if koha won't install?
15:28 drojf          gerundio: sorry, another lastest last thing :D set the bug status to "needs signoff" so people find it :)
15:28 wizzyrea       wine
15:28 wizzyrea       wine?
15:28 wahanui        wine is not usually the best for programming :)
15:28 wizzyrea       LOL!
15:28 oleonard       What does this module need. wine?
15:28 oleonard       wine?
15:28 wahanui        it has been said that wine is not usually the best for programming :)
15:30 jcamins        wine?
15:30 wahanui        i think wine is an acceptable ingredient ;)
15:30 oleonard       whine?
15:31 gerundio       drojf, done... one even latest last thing :p should we raise the importance level for that a little bit?
15:32 drojf          gerundio: it's an enhancement, AFAIK they have always that level because bugfixes are more important
15:33 sekjal         https://xkcd.com/323/
15:33 jcamins        "Priority" is not currently used.
15:33 jcamins        sekjal: hehe.
15:37 jcamins        sekjal: are you working on a project that requires Balmer Peak levels of efficiency?
15:37 jcamins        *Ballmer
15:37 sekjal         jcamins: not right now
15:38 sekjal         writing up my annual performance review at the moment
15:38 rambutan       https://xkcd.com/323/ <- Win ME was the only operating system I could never get to shutdown properly on my Packard Bell. I always had to turn off the power supply. Strangly never trashed the filesystem, however.
15:39 jcamins        sekjal: are you arguing that they should be providing you with an artisan beer stipend? :)
15:39 oleonard       any project worth doing is worth doing at peak efficiency
15:40 oleonard       Confound this decade, there's liquor cabinet in my office!
15:40 sekjal         jcamins: I knew there was something else I should have put on that grant application!
15:40 jcamins        "I did a kickass job this past year, but given a carefully calculated amount of artisan beer every day, I could do an even better job next year!"
15:40 oleonard       /no/ liquor cabinet that is
15:40 jcamins        oleonard: I was going to say, sounds like you the 2010s in Ohio are a lot more exciting than in New York. :P
15:41 WaylonR        okay , night all
15:41 WaylonR        going to bed.
15:41 drojf          seems like the best thing german pirate party has done for their poll results lately is… having the house of their vice chairman raided by police to find some marihuana and cannabis plants.
15:42 jcamins        oleonard: actually, I have a liquor cabinet in the room adjoining my office.
15:42 oleonard       The benefits of working from home?
15:43 jcamins        Indeed.
15:44 jcamins        Of course, one of the disadvantages is that said liquor cabinet doesn't get automatically stocked.
15:53 oleonard       [off] Ugh, how did I know that Mr. 3.06 would reply directly to me :(
15:53 jcamins        [off] Respond on list "I cannot answer messages sent directly to me. Please address the list."
15:54 drojf          [off] lately, whenever somebody stops replying i imagine him/her directly messaging oleonard. apparently it's true
15:55 gerundio       drojf, while changing the Auth_with_ldap.pm source code I found the comments regarding what still need to be done
15:55 sekjal         this is one of the first times I've listened to music at work… that's definitey something I miss from my home office days
15:56 jcamins        I actually don't listen to music while working.
15:56 gerundio       from lines 43 to 48
15:56 jcamins        I turn on cheesy sci fi TV shows for background noise while cooking, though.
15:56 drojf          gerundio: and you are volunteering? :)
15:56 gerundio       I think I've accomplished all those goals except for the last one
15:56 drojf          jcamins: you cook while working?
15:57 gerundio       kind of :)
15:57 * oleonard     knows jcamins is talking about Cleopatra 2525
15:57 drojf          gerundio: that's fantastic!
15:57 gerundio       I just need some directions where to perform that memberadd call
15:58 jcamins        drojf: mostly in between working, when I'm wrestling with a problem.
15:58 jcamins        oleonard: actually, I just started the original Star Trek.
15:58 drojf          jcamins: like others go for a walk?
15:58 jcamins        It was so absurd I had to stop after two episodes because it kept on distracting me from wrapping spanakopita.
15:58 jcamins        drojf: right.
15:58 drojf          that's cool :)
15:59 drojf          gerundio: i'm afraid i don't know anything about memberadd
15:59 gerundio       ok
15:59 drojf          maybe somebody else here does
15:59 * jcamins      avoids Auth.
15:59 drojf          or you could add a question to the bug
16:00 drojf          or ask libsysguy later
16:00 jcamins        C4::Search is enough horror.
16:00 gerundio       I'll try to trace the login action on the OPAC form
16:00 gerundio       to figure out where this could be added :)
16:02 drojf          gerundio: you are working hard for your "that LDAP guy" title :)
16:02 gerundio       lolol
16:03 gerundio       well, lets just say I've been away from keyboards and code for a while
16:03 gerundio       I was managing a helpdesk team here at my faculty
16:03 jcamins        gerundio: so you feel inspired to work on Auth_by_ldap?
16:03 jcamins        gerundio: you should take a week-long vacation and come back and fix C4::Auth.
16:04 gerundio       it feels good to get in touch with programing for a change now
16:04 drojf          a looonglasting change
16:05 jcamins        gerundio: in case it's not clear, most of us find C4::Auth horrifying and terrifying.
16:05 drojf          paid with lots of karma and glory
16:05 gerundio       I got that impression in the last few days by talking to you guys
16:05 gerundio       but don't get the hopes up to high
16:06 jcamins        gerundio: but after a week-long vacation, surely you'll be raring to go? :)
16:06 drojf          too late. YOU CAN'T LET US DOIWN NOW!!
16:06 gerundio       if you're religious, let me just say, the saviour walked the earth 2000+ years ago :p
16:07 gaetan_B       bye !
16:08 drojf          heh. just kidding. whatever little (or more) you choose to do is very cool! what you did now is already cool. thanks!
16:08 jcamins        gerundio: hehe.
16:09 gerundio       it would be nice to get a little more involved on some open source projects
16:09 gerundio       I deal with them all the time here at work
16:09 gerundio       but I never get to have enough time on each one of them to contribute that much
16:09 gerundio       lets see how it goes this time :)
16:11 drojf          goodness, nengard is on a help file spree
16:11 nengard        got a deadline looming
16:12 nengard        they're not as thorough as i want them
16:12 nengard        but i do want to get them to the translators if I can
16:12 nengard        I don't think I'll finish before the freeze
16:15 drojf          oh it's on monday already
16:15 nengard        and I leave for a conference tomorrow
16:15 drojf          well, sleep is overrated anyway :P
16:18 nengard        jcamins do you have any help info for the did you mean feature? a help file wasn't created - I can do one, but if you have something I can copy from I'll use that
16:18 nengard        and that is your feature right? :)
16:18 nengard        hehe
16:19 jcamins        nengard: for the feature or for the page?
16:19 jcamins        The feature is OPAC-only at the moment, which is probably why it doesn't show up in the intranet help files.
16:20 nengard        for the page - how to use the feature from the admin area in the staff client
16:20 jcamins        The page in admin is just to enable/disable and prioritize Did you mean? plugins (OPAC-only for right now, in a follow-up for 3.12).
16:20 jcamins        I didn't write any help on it.
16:20 jcamins        It's all drag-and-drop.
16:21 jcamins        Check the box for each plugin you want to enable, drag them into your preferred order, and click "Save."
16:21 nengard        right, but what am i dragging and dropping, how does the set up effect the opac ? basically whatever would be in the manual i'll put on that help page, but i haven't put it in the manual yet
16:22 jcamins        Didn't you? I thought I approved your manual text.
16:23 jcamins        [off] http://kohadev.cpbibliography.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=&q=smith
16:23 jcamins        See the yellow bar near the top, that suggests the Smithsonian and a couple of other Smiths?
16:24 gerundio       think I found the origin of the problem
16:24 gerundio       need some perl expertise from you now :)
16:24 gerundio       $ldap = C4::Context->config('useldapserver') || 0;
16:24 jcamins        That's the AuthorityFile plugin. It searches for your terms in the authority file, and suggests you search for records linked to those authorities.
16:25 gerundio       this should assign $ldap with the 'useldapserver' config file value if the entry exists and otherwise set it to 0, right?
16:25 jcamins        The ExplodedTerms plugin suggests broader/narrower/related searches using the authority hierarchy links in authority records' 5xx fields.
16:25 jenkins_koha   Starting build #910 for job Koha_master (previous build: SUCCESS)
16:26 jcamins        I would suspect that ExplodedTerms is not particularly useful for US public libraries, but would be useful for UNIMARC libraries, and for special libraries.
16:27 drojf          gerundio: that's what i think
16:27 drojf          but perl expertise is nothing i would claim for myself :)
16:27 jcamins        gerundio: that's correct. The ||0 is to make sure we don't get warnings about the variable being undefined.
16:28 gerundio       hmm, weird then
16:28 nengard        jcamins nope - you approved the authorities linking text
16:28 nengard        i need some food before i start thinking about all of this :)
16:28 gerundio       I have that set to 1 in my config file
16:28 nengard        I'll be back
16:28 gerundio       and I'm getting the value 0 there
16:29 jcamins        gerundio: are you using memcached?
16:29 gerundio       yeap :)
16:30 gerundio       a memcached restart is in order then :D
16:30 jcamins        Yeah.
16:30 gerundio       do you want the good news or the good news? :D
16:30 huginn         New commit(s) kohagit: Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/new/bug_8525' <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=ee3eee451d2c36ff58f9443c86a8522ef905eca1> / Follow up: Bug 8525: Update preference description <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=15711398399fadc519914de9394d65238c31f78c> / Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/new/bug_7986' <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=comm
16:30 jcamins        The argument against putting memcached configuration in koha-conf.xml makes very little sense, in light of the fact that any changes you make require restarting memcached anyway.
16:32 slef           @arewethereyet
16:32 huginn         slef: YES!
16:32 gerundio       I was just discussing that with a colleague
16:33 gerundio       memcached for storing the settings in a production environment makes all the sense to me
16:33 gerundio       well, but lets make this official: LDAP bind authentication is now working
16:34 jcamins        What we need is a `kohactl reload` (like `apache2ctl reload`).
16:34 jcamins        Hooray!
16:34 drojf          w00t
16:35 jcamins        libsysguy won't be around today, I think.
16:35 drojf          partying with swedes on his deck?
16:35 jcamins        lol
16:35 jcamins        Closing on a house, I think.
16:36 jcamins        I warned him it was a trap, not unlike C4::Auth.
16:38 wizzyrea       closing on a house! awesome!
16:38 wizzyrea       @later tell libsysguy Congrats on the house!
16:38 huginn         wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.
16:39 jcamins        Next time we see him, he's going to have gone entirely gray. :P
16:39 kf             lol
16:39 kf             bye all and have a nice weekend!
16:39 jcamins        drojf: "Freistadt" - that's more likely to be the town in Austria than a German note along the lines of "unknown place," right?
16:39 jcamins        Bah.
16:39 jcamins        Just missed kf. I could've asked for two opinions.
16:40 oleonard       And it's Friday--kf might not be back until Monday!
16:40 jcamins        She's on vacation next week.
16:40 jcamins        No kf for a long time!
16:41 drojf          jcamins: definitely the austrian town. not possible to use that as "unknown place" as far as i can imagine
16:41 jcamins        drojf: good.
16:42 drojf          but, well, if it's austrian, they may have crazy words with weird meanings :D
16:43 jcamins        "Eleutheropol" was identified as "Freistadt," but since "Eleutheropol" is a false imprint, I was concerned that it could be a note in German along the lines of "free [un-fixed] place." :)
16:43 dracoling      jcamins: Freistadt is also a neighborhood in Mequon, WI, USA. But that's probably not really relevant.
16:43 jcamins        dracoling: seems unlikely, unless they had a printing press in 1704.
16:44 jcamins        Actually, this could be a thrilling swashbuckling adventure.
16:45 jcamins        The story of how hundreds of books were printed in Mequon, WI under a false imprint and then smuggled to Europe and claimed by booksellers in various places on the continent.
16:46 dracoling      Simple answer denied in favor of buckling of swashes.
16:47 jcamins        Move over Dan Brown and The Da Vinci Code, here comes jcamins and The Eleutheropol Conspiracy!
16:49 drojf          jcamins: interesting idea. you would not do it that way in more or less modern german. had a look in my etymological dictionary, nothing there. it would probably rather be "Freistatt" (Stätte=place, Stadt=town) and a convention i never heard of or can find.
16:49 oleonard       Wherein the hero stops at nothing to race across the country to solve the mystery, stopping only to periodically bake bread.
16:50 jcamins        drojf: good. I hate leaving items unmapped.
16:50 drojf          :)
16:50 jcamins        This is the client for whom I did the mapping jQuery.
16:52 drojf          freistatt is also a word for "asylum, sanctuary" by the way
16:52 drojf          mapping jquery?
16:53 jcamins        jquery library?
16:53 wahanui        jquery library is found at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library
16:53 jcamins        Under OPAC enhanced content.
16:57 drojf          oh fancy! i have to try that. and OSM it ;)
16:58 jcamins        drojf: I'd like to use OSM + Koha's report service to actually map the entire collection.
16:58 drojf          yes, please!
16:59 jcamins        However, I want my clients' systems to be stable more than I want that, so I'm running 3.6.x.
16:59 jcamins        Well- plus a few backports, but the reports service was too complicated.
17:00 drojf          stable, schmable. shiny features!!1! :D
17:01 jcamins        Logs?
17:01 wahanui        Logs is http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
17:02 jcamins        @later tell rangi Please fix logbot, he is logging [off].
17:02 huginn         jcamins: The operation succeeded.
17:03 oleonard       jcamins: Where?
17:04 drojf          logs fine for me
17:04 jcamins        Wait...
17:04 jcamins        That's weird.
17:05 jcamins        It appears in search but not in the logs.
17:05 jcamins        @later tell rangi Never mind. [off] appears in search results, but possibly not in the actual logs.
17:05 huginn         jcamins: The operation succeeded.
17:06 oleonard       Indeed.
17:07 drojf          that is strange
17:08 drojf          and not really desirable
17:08 jcamins        As an aside, we're pretty snarky, aren't we? :)
17:10 drojf          we are?

17:17 tcohen         eythian
17:17 jcamins        tcohen: it's Saturday in NZ.
17:17 tcohen         what are the instructions to test your packages?
17:17 tcohen         oh
17:18 tcohen         i always forget :-D
17:18 jcamins        tcohen: probably you should just do "sudo apt-get install [package name]"?
17:18 tcohen         jcamins, yes, but the packages are not there
17:19 jcamins        Oh.
17:19 jcamins        Hm.
17:19 jcamins        That's a problem.
17:19 tcohen         so I thought there must be another debian repo he is using for testing
17:19 jcamins        Actually, I see.
17:20 jcamins        All the dependencies are now on debian.koha-community.org.
17:20 jcamins        So what you should be testing is that building the packages using your script works?
17:20 jcamins        Maybe?
17:20 * jcamins      goes to eat lunch.
17:24 drojf          oh no the LDAP guy left
17:25 gerundio       time to say goodbye for now

17:27 drojf          have a nice weekend :) come back if you get bored ;)

17:34 tcohen         jcamins, I thought that eythian had built libkoha-contrib-tamil-perl and its dependencies into the repo
17:35 jcamins        You know, I need to configure Zebra to understand 'u' and 'v' as the same letter.
17:35 jcamins        tcohen: I'm not sure. I can't figure out quite what he wanted done, so I'm just guessing.
17:35 tcohen         yeah, me too
17:38 drojf          has the livecd manager been here somewhen since the irc meeting?
17:39 jcamins        I don't think so, but I could be mistaken.
17:39 drojf          @seen vimal
17:39 huginn         drojf: vimal was last seen in #koha 1 week, 2 days, 6 hours, 49 minutes, and 43 seconds ago: <vimal> Thanl u all
17:39 drojf          no he wasn't. (and i did remember the nick)
17:51 tcohen         jcamins, is it posible that those packages had been uploaded to a catalyst's repo?
17:52 jcamins        tcohen: possibly, but I don't know where that would be.
17:52 tcohen         i'll let it go he, maybe on monday i can test that
17:52 tcohen         thanks
17:52 * cait         waves
17:53 jcamins        o/
17:53 wajasu         i think he meant that he put the packages in squeeze-dev
17:54 jcamins        wajasu: but they're not there.
17:54 wajasu         oh
18:30 drojf          sent a mail about »official« livecds to the lists. i hope it does not sound arrogant.
18:36 rangi          seems fine to me
18:37 slef           arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh I am sooooooooooooooooooo glad that koha doesn't require github
18:37 rangi          and no off in search results now
18:37 jcamins        rangi++
18:37 slef           thank you thank you to all the lovely hosts of koha-community.org machines
18:37 jcamins        slef: what's github done?
18:37 jcamins        This reminds me. Must add git hooks.
18:37 jcamins        Later.
18:37 slef           jcamins: you can't use it without registering with them.
18:38 slef           jcamins: and their terms suck.
18:38 jcamins        slef: but you have to send your key to gmcharlt for git.k-c.org, too.
18:39 slef           jcamins: does gmcharlt insist on your legal full name and that you pay for his lawyers?
18:39 * oleonard     eyes gmcharlt suspiciously
18:39 gmcharlt       slef: my lawyers demand fine chocolate!
18:39 jcamins        slef: well he never did before, but now that you've suggested it...
18:40 slef           gmcharlt: tough, you missed your chance and only got a bar drink.
18:40 gmcharlt       now, to start work on my JD

18:43 wahanui        wine is, like, not usually the best for programming :)
18:43 magnuse        ooh, have fun rangi!
18:43 slef           Of course, one of the disadvantages?
18:43 wahanui        Of course, one of the disadvantages is that said liquor cabinet doesn't get automatically stocked.
18:44 * magnuse      wanders off to eat his pizza bianca...
18:44 drojf          ah. camping. out in the wilderness. only nature. and your notebook. and smartphone. have fun :)
18:44 cait           pizza bianca... hm.
18:44 cait           now he leaves us with that

18:48 * slef         adds "the new Google Groups" to his usability disaster zone blacklist

18:48 jcamins        uhhh...
18:48 jcamins        drojf: help me out here?
18:49 drojf          lol
18:49 drojf          once we import all mailing list data to google groups all problems will vanish
18:49 slef           icing on the cake is "Not ready for change? Temporarily choose the old Google Groups from the settings menu." and if you do that, it says there was an error communicating with the server with a link to "Reload" and that then displays... guess what?  "The new Google Groups" again, with the same "Not ready for change?" popup
18:50 * cait         hands slef an oatmeal cookie
18:50 slef           If they remade that Superbowl advert today, it wouldn't be Big Brother on the big screen, it would be Google
18:50 slef           and it wouldn't be a hammer, it would be an iphone5, which is about the same size
18:50 cait           no chocolate, but a cookie
18:50 slef           :)
18:50 jcamins        Oooh.
18:50 jcamins        Pizza.
18:50 drojf          that popup is supposed to say "Not ready for change to temporarely choose the old google groups from teh server menu". it's a warning
18:50 * cait         had pizza tonight... what a coincidence
18:51 jcamins        (I know you said "cookie," but that made me think about baking)
18:51 wizzyrea       oleonard: with your permission I'm going to add your bit of jquery to the library on the wiki
18:51 wizzyrea       re: title notes vs holdings tab
18:51 oleonard       Sure, although it will be different in 3.10+
18:51 wizzyrea       I will specify the version
18:53 oleonard       Thanks wizzyrea. I even looked on the wiki for it before I re-figured it out for the message.
18:53 slef           [off] I will be having pizza tonight.
18:54 jcamins        [off] Is that a secret?
18:54 slef           Things like Google Groups really annoy me. They're ear-chewingly bad, yet still get flocks of people going to them.
18:54 slef           [off] yes.
18:54 jcamins        [off] Why?
18:54 cait           [off] it's kind of poetic - koha people having pizza all around the world...
18:54 slef           [off] Not sure. I'm a bit secretive about domestic things.
18:55 slef           [off] I guess because it affects other people who haven't consented to have their dinner choices posted online forever.
18:55 wizzyrea       [off] I'd eat pizza if I had a food processor. Because then I could have cauliflower-crust pizza.
18:55 oleonard       I missed posting my dinner choice online once and got a nasty letter from Google.
18:55 * drojf        considers kohaleaks
18:55 wizzyrea       [off] it's secret pizza day!
18:56 jcamins        [off] Cauliflower-crust pizza? Why is that secret?
18:56 slef           oleonard: I thought it was twitter was for posting dinner choices?
18:56 rambutan       [off] it's settled then. I'll have pepper and pepperoni pizza preferably at pizza hut tonight
18:56 wizzyrea       [off] because it's magical. I'm not sure. But the secret is more likely that I don't currently have an automatic food chopper.
18:56 slef           oleonard: or is that why they launched google+?
18:57 oleonard       Sorry, I should have said Instagram
18:59 wizzyrea       lol true about instagram
18:59 wizzyrea       it's the place for pictures of your kids, or of women making duck faces, or dudes looking tough, or pictures of historical monuments taken from strange angles
19:00 wizzyrea       and mostly, food.
19:00 wizzyrea       one guy I follow does nothing but take pictures of every meal.
19:00 wizzyrea       they always look quite yummy.
19:03 cait           wizzyrea: how does this cauliflower thing work?
19:03 cait           you amde me curious although cauliflower is probably the only vegetable I don't like
19:04 jcamins        I like cauliflower sometimes.
19:04 oleonard       Raw cauliflower with hummus!
19:05 wizzyrea       http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/08/the-astonishing-cauliflower-pizza-crust-you-have-to-taste-it-to-believe-it.html
19:06 wizzyrea       where "riced" cauliflower = buzzed to death in a food processor.
19:06 wizzyrea       well, until it looks like grain anyway.
19:06 jcamins        wizzyrea: you mean, like rice?
19:07 jcamins        :P
19:07 wizzyrea       precisely. :{
19:07 wizzyrea       :P
19:08 cait           and again... I got no microwave
19:08 cait           *sob*
19:08 wizzyrea       well you can steam it
19:08 wizzyrea       that's all you're doing really
19:08 wizzyrea       do you have a pot and a colander?
19:08 wizzyrea       line the colander with a paper or cloth towel, put the cauliflower in it
19:08 dracoling      mmmmmm. steamed cauliflower
19:08 wizzyrea       put that over a pot of boiling water
19:08 wizzyrea       let it go for 10ish minutes
19:08 wizzyrea       same thing.
19:09 wizzyrea       you probably want a lid on that
19:09 wizzyrea       too.
19:09 jcamins        Definitely a lid.
19:09 jcamins        Much faster that way.
19:09 wizzyrea       you can also make fried rice this way.
19:09 wizzyrea       which is also yummy
19:09 wahanui        okay, wizzyrea.
19:09 wizzyrea       forget which
19:09 wahanui        wizzyrea: I forgot which
19:10 wizzyrea       faux fried rice, I mean
19:10 * cait         looks up colander :P
19:10 wizzyrea       it's a bowl with holes in it
19:10 cait           aaah
19:10 cait           right
19:10 wizzyrea       :)
19:10 cait           of course I haveone
19:10 wizzyrea       yesss!
19:11 cait           but it's still cauliflower.... it will take some time until I am ready to try that
19:11 dracoling      which is literally ''
19:12 dracoling      aww. no factoids for me :(
19:12 wizzyrea       it doesn't taste like cauliflower
19:12 wizzyrea       to me
19:12 jcamins        which?
19:12 wahanui        which is literally ''
19:12 jcamins        wahanui: forget which
19:12 wahanui        jcamins: I forgot which
19:12 jcamins        which is <reply>
19:12 wizzyrea       which is <reply>
19:12 wahanui        i already had it that way, wizzyrea.
19:12 wizzyrea       lol
19:12 jcamins        which?
19:12 * wizzyrea     shakes her fist at jcamins
19:14 oleonard       Should have been "which is <reply> which what?"
19:18 drojf          witch?
19:19 jcamins        which witch?
19:19 wahanui        She'll put a curse on me if I tell!

20:12 oleonard       Have a good weekend #koha
21:17 wizzyrea       I probably won't be around much for a couple of weeks after this. :)
21:18 wizzyrea       so be safe, productive, and well.
21:18 wizzyrea       and I will see you all again soon.
21:22 santy          hello everyone.  I have a question... when saving a biblio in koha, does the Marcxml string get concatenated and updated again by the saving routine with the new values?
21:38 santy          does the Koha api have a function to just do that... concatenate and update the marcxml field, so that I can call that function in a batch process?
21:40 santy          I already looked but did not find one
21:44 drojf          first question?
21:44 wahanui        "What are you trying to do?"  "What is the goal?" or "What problem are you experiencing?"
21:45 drojf          second question?
21:45 wahanui        second question is, like, "What is the exact error message?"
21:45 drojf          third question?
21:45 wahanui        third question is "What version of Koha are you using?" http://koha-community.org/faq/find-version-koha-running/
21:45 drojf          fourth question?
21:45 wahanui        fourth question is "Are we there yet?"
21:45 drojf          fifth question?
21:45 wahanui        i heard fifth question was "Are we there yet?"
21:53 drojf          logs?
21:53 wahanui        logs is http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
22:34 jcamins_away   santy: this is the wrong way to edit records.
22:35 jcamins        You _are_ going to mess up your system, and you're not going to be able to get any help you do that.
22:39 magnuse        there is a right way to edit marc? ;-)
22:40 jcamins        magnuse: yes, without editing the XML directly.
22:40 magnuse        :-)
22:41 drojf          why is it XML if i am not supposed to edit it? *hides*
22:41 * magnuse      wonders why his memcached had a sudden spike in activity and then died a few hours ago
22:42 jcamins        drojf: so that you'll try and have to pay me at my "broken production fixing" rates? Nah, that's not a good reason. I don't want to ever charge those rates, 'cause I hate dealing with broken production systems.
22:42 drojf          heh
22:42 drojf          the '30x the normal rate' rates?
22:43 jcamins        Yup.
22:43 drojf          why do people say nullmailer is easy to set up if it does not work?
22:43 santy          Ok, I'll try and explain, there are many organizations who already have their own standard or custom ILS systems and who are very eager to switch to Koha.  unfortunately, some of them, like my client, are very restrictive of the kind of solutions a consultant may propose.  In a case where one has to use java to migrate or synchronize records from foreign ILS systems things can get really rough.  How am I supposed to use Koha's api from Java?  I have tried,
22:43 santy          have looked to find out the most standar and Koha compliant way to do this but must also do what my client enforces me to do.  In the end all data shall be migrated to Koha successfully, the hard way.
22:44 jcamins        santy: Koha was not designed to be used in tandem with other ILSes.
22:44 drojf          or with java
22:44 jcamins        There is no Java API at all, and almost certainly never will be.
22:44 magnuse        santy: export the data, massage it and import it into koha
22:44 santy          I know, but I just want to migrate some records from another db.
22:44 jcamins        There are a couple of web service APIs, but they're not going to do what you want either.
22:45 jcamins        In order to get records from one system to another, you should export them as MARC, make any needed changes, and import them.
22:45 magnuse        s/massage it/massage it with whatever tools you like/
22:45 jcamins        Koha provides command line scripts.
22:45 santy          I need to migrate some 40000 records from a custom db to Koha...
22:46 magnuse        santy: can you export them as marc?
22:46 santy          that is exactly the point... I cannot
22:46 jcamins        In that case, export them as whatever you can export them, and convert them into MARC.
22:46 santy          they have a very ill designed system and there is no... export db as marc
22:47 jcamins        If you are converting them into MARCXML, that's fine. Just import that MARCXML into Koha.
22:47 magnuse        migration toolbox?
22:47 wahanui        migration toolbox is https://www.gitorious.org/koha-toolbox/
22:47 magnuse        there are some tools there that might be useful, i think
22:47 * magnuse      calls it a day
22:48 jcamins        Any direct modifications to the Koha database have a 90%+ chance of making things worse.
22:48 santy          Well, I have to speak from my experience, I know how to concatenate the marcxml, I have done It and records show and can be searched neatly from Kohas catalog and staff interfaces..
22:48 jcamins        santy: if you're happy with how you're doing it, that's fine.
22:48 santy          zebra processes them good
22:48 jcamins        However, if you are directly inserting MARCXML, that is bad.
22:49 jcamins        That means you are failing to fill in several dozen columns that *need* to be filled in for everything to work right.
22:50 jcamins        If you are not directly importing the MARCXML, then you'll have to try rephrasing your question, because I understand that you are doing something like "INSERT INTO biblioitems (marcxml) VALUES (${marcxml});"
22:50 jcamins        Aww!
22:50 santy          I do... I really traverse every marc code and add fields and subfields... concatenating them from a program
22:50 jcamins        Myshkin just jumped into a bag.
22:50 santy          not throug sql
22:50 jcamins        Okay, that's what we just recommended that you do.
22:50 drojf          a bag?
22:50 wahanui        I LIKE BASEBALL
22:51 jcamins        Yeah. A little paper bag with handles.
22:51 jcamins        It's almost large enough for him to fit.
22:51 santy          I know... I would prefer to call a Koha api perl function like... concatenateMarcXML(author,corporate_author,title,unititle,....)
22:51 jcamins        santy: okay, now I understand.
22:51 santy          but I don't know if there is one
22:52 jcamins        There is not.
22:52 santy          ok
22:52 jcamins        santy: that's very different from what it sounded like you were asking initially.
22:52 jcamins        [off] drojf: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A5dHoyXCAAEAEQm.jpg
22:52 santy          you're right, sometimes these questions are not easy to explain
22:53 drojf          awwww
22:53 cjh            nawww
22:54 drojf          cats and bags, cats and boxes. they sure know how to have it cozy :)
22:54 jcamins        santy: santy so it sounds to me like this is the best way to go about things.
22:56 santy          well it worked... I'm succesfully importing ISIS records, and zebra indexes fine.
22:58 santy          If this project goes well I might show you what I did and port my java webservice to perl and some how make it official.
22:59 jcamins        Regardless how the project works, you should seriously consider making all the code open source and available.
22:59 jcamins        Someone just might pick up some of your code and make it better.
23:01 santy          I will, sure... I mean if things go well, at least I can say synchronizing already works between kohas, and WINSISI. i still have to implement SIABUC8 (which uses access)
23:01 jcamins        Ewww.
23:01 * jcamins      hates Access.
23:01 jcamins        It was an excuse for people who didn't know anything about databases to break things.
23:03 jcamins        Also, Access crashes a lot.
23:03 santy          lol, I know access is not very reliable for a production system... but, there really are government agencies that have access based ILS... and its my duty to remotely show their records through Koha
23:04 drojf          government agencies are crazy
23:06 santy          yes... they are so inertial... picky... and burocratic
23:06 santy          I still don't know if in the end they make me implement everything on redhat
23:07 drojf          good luck with that
23:07 drojf          if it goes really bad they make you reimplement koha in java :P
23:07 santy          oh God
23:08 santy          It WAS hard to convince them that the ISIS synchronizer had to be implemented on perl
23:10 santy          anyway, if they mess up the project with their guidelines, they will be under pressure from 52 public libraries
23:10 santy          (which I have to syncronize)
23:23 drojf          santy: why does it have to be java? i kind of understand the redhat thing (if they are a redhat partner blah blah), but why do they dictate a programming language for the import stuff? as long as it works, what does it matter?
23:24 santy          because it is difficult for them to find and hire programmers for any other language...
23:25 santy          not many people here know perl
23:26 drojf          i see
23:26 jcamins        santy: do they understand that Koha is written in Perl?
23:27 santy          yes, they do, and accepted it because Koha is such a marvelous free system
23:27 santy          they are into open source right now
23:27 santy          which is cool
23:27 * jcamins      thinks that's very good.
23:28 jcamins        But if they're not planning on keeping an Perl programmers on-staff, nor hiring a vendor for support, things could be very difficult.
23:28 santy          but they have their quirks
23:29 santy          well, I know a bit of perl, (did an ISIS syncronizer), they say they might hire me
23:33 drojf          they have not hired you yet? how come you work for them already?
23:34 santy          I mean, hire me again...
23:36 drojf          oh look my koha sent mail
23:36 drojf          good koha, have a cookie
23:37 drojf          still does not send a recall mail for bug 8688 but errors
23:37 huginn         04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8688 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, fcapovilla, Needs Signoff , Add a recall button to the biblio record details page.
23:43 drojf          how did it use a smarthost without me giving username and password? that's interesting
23:46 jcamins        drojf: I've never figured out how to use nullmailer.
23:46 drojf          jcamins: it's postfix, nullmailer did not work for me
23:47 jcamins        Ah.
23:47 jcamins        Postfix always works well for me.
23:47 drojf          it did send a testmail, but it did not relay localhost mails (from koha)
23:48 drojf          postfix now just worked. that did not happen before. i'm a little confused how it uses the smarthost though without logging in :D
23:50 drojf          but maybe that is the reason the recall thingy does not work
23:51 drojf          some mail is much better than no mail at all. i consider this a win. and wonder how i did not manage to configure postfix before, it just works
