Cause I HATE LATEX!!!!!) 22:01 magnuse hehe, i think you have mentioned that before, yes :-) 22:02 cait jcamins: do I want to ask why? 22:02 jcamins cait: why I hate LaTeX? 22:02 jcamins Lots of reasons, most of them revolving around the lack of a functioning installer for LaTeX packages. 22:02 jcamins And Unicode. 22:03 jcamins Those are the two main focal points for my wrath. 22:03 jcamins magnuse: if you'd like to use the plugin I came up with I'll clean it up and submit it to Koha. :) 22:04 magnuse jcamins: that would be much appreciated! 22:06 magnuse g'night #koha - have fun! 22:08 cait jcamins: ah, wasn't aware of unicode problems 22:13 * wizzyrea facepalms 22:13 wizzyrea you have to *enable* git auto completion. 22:13 wizzyrea derp. 22:13 cait hm? 22:14 wizzyrea i've been wondering for months why I can't seem to get my git auto completion to work 22:14 wizzyrea it's because you have to *enable* it 22:14 wizzyrea apparently I did it on one box ages ago, then forgot that I did. 22:14 cait wonder if I should facepalm because i don't know what it is :) 22:14 jcamins Woohoo! I managed to reduce this: [% FOREACH subf IN record.f1xxs.0.subfields %][% UNLESS subf.code == '9' %] [% subf.value %][% END %][% END %] 22:14 jcamins into this: [% record.f1xxs.0.filter('code' = 'abcd') %] 22:15 wizzyrea jcamins++ 22:15 wizzyrea nice job :) 22:17 * jcamins thinks so too. :) 22:17 tweetbot` [off] twitter: @arwenamin: "#kohails needs solr. I know this will happen eventually. #ndf2012" 22:20 jcamins Cool! 22:20 jcamins I just learned something useful about T::T! 22:21 jcamins This will work: [% this.title or parent.title %] 22:35 eythian jcamins: oh neat 22:38 * cait waves 23:39 eythian jcamins: what's your GPG public key ID? 23:40 jcamins eythian: uhhh.... 23:40 eythian uhhh? 23:40 jcamins I guess I need to figure out how to upload my key to a keyserver, huh? 23:40 eythian that doesn't look like hex at all 23:41 eythian gpg --send-key KEYID 23:41 eythian easy as pie :) 23:42 jcamins You're right. That was easy. EE155EAD 23:42 eythian ta, what keyserver did you use? It takes a while for them all to sync 23:42 jcamins keys.gnupg.net 23:43 eythian perfect, ta. 23:43 eythian I want to change the way package signing works by hacing a key specially for that, but to do that safely requires a safe way of getting secret keys to all the current RMs. 23:44 jcamins Ah. 23:44 eythian (basically to allow someone other than me to be able to upload signed packages should that be needed.) 23:44 jcamins Not a problem for the two RMaints during the 3.12 cycle. :) 23:45 eythian well, this was prompted by wizzyrea talking about doing the packages for 3.6 :) 23:45 wizzyrea i'm sure that eythian has better things to do ;) 23:45 eythian tbh, 45 minutes once a month per version isn't a big deal really :) 23:45 jcamins Yeah... packages for 3.12! :P 23:46 wizzyrea :) I suppose. 23:46 eythian 3.12 can wait ;) 23:46 * wizzyrea runs around flailing "I'm helping!" 23:46 eythian heh 23:59 jenkins_koha Starting build #67 for job Koha_3.6.x (previous build: FIXED)
