But packages might be an easier way for you. 01:06 druthb wahanui: packages? 01:06 wahanui packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian 01:07 druthb There's some help there on packages; it's *super* easy 01:07 jcamins pug: why would you want to have completely separate codebases? 01:08 * dcook would assume for localized customizations? 01:09 dcook Which, now that I think about it, isn't (easily) possible with packages? 01:09 pug druthb, okay - I think ill go for it and try out 01:09 jcamins dcook: no, but if you're doing local customizations on that scale, you're doing it wrong. 01:09 pug jcamins, dcook - yeah , for localized customizations 01:09 druthb if you want a lot of localized customizations (which is chaos and madness!), then you can't use packages easily, if at all. But...better not to. 01:09 jcamins druthb: sure you can. 01:09 jcamins I do it all the time. 01:10 druthb Monkeying with templates? 01:10 jcamins Yeah. 01:10 jcamins And everything else. 01:10 wahanui well, everything else is just extras 01:10 jcamins wahanui: not when it involves substantial changes to C4::* 01:10 wahanui jcamins: huh? 01:10 dcook hehe 01:10 jcamins If you have small libraries, you use containers. 01:11 druthb :P 01:11 jcamins If you have large libraries, they shouldn't be on the same server. 01:11 pug I want to be able to integrate the customizations with upgarded versions - how can you possibly do that peacefully while using packages? 01:11 jcamins pug: by rolling your own packages. 01:11 dcook Or by submitting your customizations to the community 01:11 dcook And hoping they all get in ;) 01:11 jcamins Basically instead of resolving merge conflicts in production (ohgodohgodohgoditsbrokennowwhatdidido!), you resolve them on your staging server, then deploy in an atomic update. 01:12 pug unfortunately they arent that relevant - for all to get on them 01:12 rangi we role our own packages 01:12 * jcamins rolls his own packages. 01:12 rangi git for development, packages for production 01:12 rangi you shouldnt be EVER developing or changing anything apart from config on a live server 01:12 pug I havent rolled my package before - but i think then thats something I must consider 01:12 * dcook nods 01:12 rangi so why have a full git clone there with all the security risks that entails 01:13 dcook It's what I'm looking at doing soon, pug 01:13 jcamins Hotfixes are easy to deploy with packages, too. 01:13 jcamins Unlike with git. 01:13 rangi pug: are you in the US? 01:13 pug unfrotunately not in the US! 01:13 dcook jcamins: Good point about the large libraries. As for the small ones, I'm intrigued. What did you mean by containers? 01:13 jcamins pug: that's a good thing. 01:13 * dcook nods 01:13 pug exactly, what did you mean by containers? 01:13 jcamins I've just been reading about contract law under common law. 01:13 * jcamins shudders. 01:14 dcook As much as I adore our Americans here ;) 01:14 pug jcamins, containers? 01:14 jcamins Did you know that if you don't get promised a pension before you start, you are not guaranteed a pension in the US (if your employer starts offering one), but you are in France? 01:14 jcamins Anyway, I use lxc. 01:15 jcamins Well, I do that when I can't get away with upstreaming or mainstreaming. 01:16 jcamins I sort of petered out with documentation and generalization at some point, so the best documentation is probably this: http://git.cpbibliography.com/?p=release-tools.git;a=blob;f=release-tool.pl;h=383616583ce044e9cbcc145b501ce8b556cac832;hb=HEAD#l668 01:16 dcook jcamins: Can't say it surprises me. Did you know, in Canada, contracts are valid even if you're nearly black out drunk? Why you have 24-48 hours to go to the other party and ask them to void it, they're under no legal obligation to do so. In order to prove that you were coerced into signing, you need to have solid eyewitness testimony that somehow "proves" that they essentially took your blacked out hand and made you sign the paper 01:16 dcook In other words, never sign anything under the influence of anything, because it's all perfectly legal. No one has won on that defense in about 100 years. 01:17 jcamins I also learned that all those scammy-sounding "we'll help you pay only a portion of what you owe" things are not legally enforceable. 01:17 dcook The implications of having fiduciary obligations to former employers can also be pretty interesting 01:18 dcook Contract law is rather fascinating 01:18 pug jcamins: alright, ill look into lxc and creating packages 01:18 jcamins It is, actually. 01:18 jcamins But lawyers are incapable of writing well. :( 01:18 dcook But yes, pug, the best advice that cait ever gave me was: "Local customizations? Just don't do them." 01:18 pug is it really a bad idea to use git based deployment for production? 01:19 jcamins pug: YES!!!!! 01:19 jcamins That is one of the worst Koha-related ideas I can think of. 01:19 jcamins Right after using a livecd you don't understand. </poke> 01:20 pug can you pen a few reasons why its a bad idea? 01:20 jcamins Yeah. 01:20 jcamins Security is bad. 01:20 jcamins Anyone can access any executable file, even if it's not safe. 01:21 pug Ok .. I see thats a big issue then 01:21 * jcamins thinks so. 01:21 pug And Besides security? 01:21 jcamins It makes it psychologically too easy to "just do a little tweak." 01:22 jcamins And the result is invariably (in my experience) lots of untested "little tweaks" going in. 01:22 pug I see your point! 01:23 pug jcamins: And that seems enough to call off git on production -- thanks a lot 01:24 jcamins Yay! 01:24 jcamins Glad I could help dissuade you. 01:24 * jcamins goes to eat dinner. 01:24 * dcook now ponders what jcamins has on the menu tonight...damned timezones 01:24 pug Im off too - bye! 01:24 dcook pug: Just curious, what situation are you in? 01:26 pug Im at a point where Im trying template customizations - customizations of say a few different types 01:26 dcook Which templates? 01:27 dcook You might find it easier to use customized XSLTs for the search results and detail pages 01:27 dcook Way easier than managing separate code bases 01:27 pug circulation, main etc 01:27 dcook There are system preferences for changing the content in main 01:27 dcook As for circulation...you might have me there 01:28 dcook Also remember that there are system preferences for userCSS and userJS 01:28 dcook If it's just template changes, those can do a lot 01:29 pug Im 'taking things off' the templates -- i.e. the UI 01:29 pug not just the CSS stuff 01:29 dcook I'm not sure I follow... 01:29 dcook And really - taking things off is much easier than putting them on ;) 01:29 pug Yeah it is -- quite easy 01:29 dcook What sorts of things are you taking off? 01:30 pug e.g. too many options on the checkout 01:30 dcook (I meant through config rather than code-level changes) 01:30 dcook Such as? 01:30 * dcook is curoius 01:30 pug few unrequired columns .. etc 01:30 dcook curious too 01:31 pug the circ-menu has too many buttons 01:32 pug as an example 01:32 pug when I say ' too many' .. its considering a certain audience in mind 01:33 pug circ-toolbar (not circ-menu) 01:33 dcook It sounds like the sort of things that you could do with CSS and JS, but all the power to you. Good luck! 01:33 pug thanks! -- 01:34 pug but do you have a suggestions as to how can I make the changes now - and keep up with the upgrades? 01:35 pug Im currently doing the changes off a branch of a specific version of git 01:36 pug (Im doing this for schools in India - the librarian's esp. the staff's ability is quite weak wrt dealing with lot of text/buttons on the screen) 01:38 pug dcook? there? 01:38 dcook Ish. I'm working on a project :p 01:39 dcook I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying. 01:40 * dac pokes dcook 01:41 pug Im just saying - I want to make loads of changes to the templates in say ver 3.08.12 and merge them to later versions .. whats the most effective way of doing this AND not using git in production ? 01:41 dcook That's better 01:41 dcook Hmm? 01:41 cjh pug: you can use git for developement and then build packages to deploy for production 01:41 dcook That's probably your best bet 01:42 cjh that way you get all the nifty stuff from git and all the stability of packages. 01:42 dcook You have to realize though...the more changes you make...the more work you're making for yourself in the future 01:42 pug k - so basically ill have to build my own packages 01:43 pug I understand the issue with too many changes - but I actually do not see any option to that -- 01:43 cjh ./debian/build-git-snapshot if you are targetting debian 01:43 cjh ideally you want to upstream as much as possible, so you can avoid having to maintain lots of local code. 01:43 pug Im on ubuntu 01:44 pug cjh .. is that a git command to build a package for debian? 01:45 cjh you can install debian packages on ubuntu, it isnt a git command it is a script inside the koha git repository. 01:45 pug https://github.com/pianohacker/koha/blob/master/debian/build-git-snapshot 01:45 pug that one, right? 01:45 cjh yes. 01:46 pug (just trying to be sure! ) 01:46 cjh no problem :) 01:46 rangi hmm 01:46 pug I think this is terrific help! 01:46 jcamins pug: you should clone the official git repo, though. 01:46 rangi is there a reason you arent using the official repo? 01:46 pug I am using the official repo 01:46 jcamins Or one of the mirrors that is automatically synced. 01:46 cjh oohh oops, I should have pointed that out. 01:47 cjh http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=debian/build-git-snapshot;h=3f06ff2fa4d62b8901a7a353e5323c2f6d083b7a;hb=HEAD 01:47 jcamins pug: and, as for your question about making changes in 3.8.12 and then merging them into later versions, it's going to be horrible no matter what. 01:47 jcamins But no worse when using packages than when using git. 01:47 pug I see 01:47 jcamins And, actually, better, if some of the changes are in common. 01:48 jcamins Because git does this thing I don't understand where it manages to automatically resolve more conflicts sometimes in those cases. 01:49 pug jcamins - oh it does?! 01:49 jcamins Sometimes. 01:49 jcamins As I said, I don't understand it. 01:49 pug jcamins - but if I have to make changes to the templates -- I dont see another options 01:49 jcamins Right. 01:49 jcamins If you are making changes, you are making changes. 01:49 jcamins So it's going to be unpleasant. 01:49 jcamins That's just a fact of life. 01:50 jcamins Now you are presented with the task of mitigating that unpleasantness as much as possible, and the way to mitigate it is with packages. 01:50 jcamins If you use the release-tool.pl script that I linked to earlier, it can make things a lot more pleasant. 01:50 pug so my best bet is .. 1. make changes in a git stable version 2. make my own package for production 3. merge the changes painfully with the next stable version 01:51 pug Does that roughly sum it up? 01:51 cjh and keep your changes as simple and as close to upstream as possible 01:51 jcamins Right. 01:51 jcamins And any changes that you could make general-purpose, do so, and submit to Koha. 01:51 cjh the less work you have to do in the future, the better. 01:51 * dcook nods 01:51 cjh so if you can make your changes upstreamable, then it is a lot easier. 01:51 dcook I still have a good hundred changes from an old version of Koha that I need to work on merging... 01:51 rangi and if you are hiding buttons/content/tables etc 01:51 rangi use css and/or jquery 01:51 dcook Well, merging/sending upstream 01:52 rangi in the sysprefs to do it, rather than changing templates 01:52 rangi because those will survive upgrades 01:52 dcook There are quite a few IDs and classes to hook onto for that 01:52 jcamins Right, that can't be repeated enough. 01:53 pug rangi -- okay -- thats helpful too -- ill look into that approach - avoided, since I hadnt worked on js earlier - but I guess Ill have to catchup with it 01:53 jcamins pug: you can learn javascript in way less time than it will take to learn how to maintain multiple custom forks. 01:54 cjh heh 01:55 * jcamins can prove this... 01:55 pug yeah - sounds like it , from what I am hearing 01:55 jcamins dcook: when you first started, you didn't know much about customizing Koha with JS and CSS, did you? 01:56 dcook Mmm, no, but 99% of the customizations pre-date me ;) 01:56 jcamins Sure, but you've successfully done some customizations, I think. 01:56 dcook Which makes it even more fun trying to figure out what they do before merging into newer versions of Koha... 01:57 dcook Yep yep 01:57 jcamins So, follow-up question: do you know how to maintain a customized fork without tearing your hair out? 01:57 dcook hehe 01:57 dcook Nope 01:58 dcook CSS is incredibly simple (although cross-browser CSS can sometimes be a pain). Jquery also makes using Javascript 10x easier. 01:58 jcamins QED :) 01:58 dcook pug: Lots of useful help out there on Jquery's website, stackoverflow, etc. 01:58 cjh and jquery updates are far easier to maintain, the underlying classes/ids change far less than the code (somewhere between never and rarely) 01:59 cjh that wasnt english... close enough. 01:59 pug cjh - you answered my question before I would have asked :) 02:00 eythian pug: it might be good for you to add CSS ids to the things you want to hide, and then use CSS/jquery to manipulate them 02:00 eythian adding the ids/classes is upstreamable. 02:00 cjh and then you can upstream the css ids :) 02:00 cjh drats, too slow. 02:00 dcook :D 02:01 dcook Not to mention the fact that it's just plain useful for others in the future as well 02:01 dcook So you're doing others a favour ;) 02:01 pug that sounds like a easy way to do it, though - wouldnt work well? 02:01 eythian works fine, that's usually how we do it, and it saves on template modifications 02:01 eythian which are always painful to deal with 02:02 jcamins That's definitely the way to do it. It would work great. :) 02:02 pug cool - i think i get it 02:02 cjh it also depends on what kind of changes you are making, if it is only adding/removing from a page then it is perfect. 02:02 pug so I was doing it the un-smart way -- creating blocks in templates , and including them or not based on IFs 02:02 jcamins pug: ouch, no, you don't want to do that. 02:03 pug jcamins -- hmm - I see now 02:04 pug so I use css ids, classes .. show or hide, ids and classes .. incase I wish to use some conditions use js .. right?! 02:05 jcamins Yup. 02:05 jcamins And you can do some pretty impressive things with js. 02:05 jcamins jquery library? 02:05 wahanui somebody said jquery library was found at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library 02:06 pug Did you guys collectively just save my life?! 02:06 pug :) 02:06 jcamins Probably, yeah. 02:08 pug jcamins - :) .. but the 'make your own debian package' for my Ubuntu production enviro still stays , right? 02:08 jcamins Yes. 02:08 jcamins Unless you manage to avoid any code customizations at all, in which case, no need to bother. 02:09 pug Im sure some conditions or the other would come in .. that sounds quite expected as of now 02:10 pug Alright - ill go back - do the homework on the new plan and come back 02:10 pug ciao guys? 02:10 jcamins What kind of library, BTW? 02:12 pug for small schools - in India - that arent using anything - and the staff under the librarian wouldnt want to read LOT of words on the screen 02:19 pug alright guys - thanks a ton - ttys! 02:19 pug bye! 02:46 eythian the master package should now be directly installable on wheezy and squeeze. 02:46 * eythian goes to double check this 02:47 dcook :D 03:31 mtompset Greetings, #koha. 03:31 dcook hey ya mtompset 03:33 mtompset Greetings, dcook. 03:33 mtompset I'm curious. Do we have any authentication methods working in koha that don't require the user to be in the borrowers table? 03:39 wizzyrea ldap can work that way I think - eythian might know 03:39 eythian no 03:39 wizzyrea or not 03:39 eythian well, when you first log in, it will put the borrower into the borrowers table 03:39 eythian might be that's what you mean 03:39 wizzyrea what am I thinking of then 03:39 wizzyrea or not storing the passwords maybe 03:39 eythian wizzyrea: I'm not sure :) 03:39 wizzyrea probably that 03:39 wahanui probably that is an issue with missing dependencies. 03:39 eythian yeah, could be that 03:40 mtompset so with ldap, the first time you log in, it adds the user? 03:40 eythian yeah 03:40 eythian otherwise tracking user info isn't really possible 03:41 eythian wahanui: seen tcohen 03:41 wahanui tcohen was last seen on #koha 11 hours, 51 minutes and 32 seconds ago, saying: thanks oleonard [Wed May 29 15:50:13 2013] 03:42 wizzyrea yeah, how would you know if things were issued if you didn't have users? 03:42 eythian @later tell tcohen Bug 10367 is ready for 3.12, probably a good one to get in soon. 03:42 huginn` eythian: The operation succeeded. 03:43 mtompset Okay... at least I know where I have to head with my testing and coding. 03:44 mtompset I've got code now that using a simplesamlphp set up on the same server redirects to simplesamlphp, which does the authentication, and then it calls a backchannel (which I need to finish writing and testing) that makes the user logged in, and then redirects to the page the user sees. 03:45 mtompset And this backchannel stuff is a pain, because of the user entry needs to be in borrowers constraint. 03:46 mtompset I guess I'll look at the ldap log in method more closely now. 03:46 mtompset I was looking at the persona code. I like it. 03:46 eythian basically it's just that if the user doesn't exist, it adds it. 03:46 eythian I haven't seen the persona code. I should have a look. 03:47 mtompset I like the /opac/svc/login :) 03:54 mtompset Well, I should sleep. 03:55 mtompset Have a greet day (24 hour period), lurkers -- wizzyrea eythian dcook. :) 03:55 eythian later 05:26 tweetbot [off] twitter: @Tredok: "Sélection de patch à signer pour la seconde matinée de travail.

Plane tix are about the same. 13:37 cait yeah and you'd need to sleep and eat on the way ... 13:37 druthb I do, actually, drojf…but that one would be especially gruelling. 13:37 cait and you'd be exhausted 13:37 druthb yah. 13:37 drojf sleep through kohacon, drive back 13:37 oleonard On the other hand if you take the plane you'll miss out on all that west Texas AM radio 13:38 druthb I lived out there for 20 years, oleonard. Had 'nuf of that, thanks. 13:38 druthb I haz iPod. And my car haz iPod connector built-in. 13:42 drojf it's only a 10 hours drive, if you got a really fast car :P 13:42 druthb Ooooh, fancy. A note just handed to me, an invitation to a new-hire Meet and Greet dinner with le CEO, at a fancy restaurant near here in a couple of weeks. Paper note, in an envelope, fancy vellum paper… "The favor of a reply is requested…" 13:42 druthb drojf: 28 hours, with our speed limits (even though the ones out west keep going up and up and up, it's not an Autobahn.) 13:44 drojf as long as you are faster than the police, speed limits don't matter 13:44 drojf <-- don't take advice from this person 13:44 druthb There's about a 650 km stretch in west TX, where the speed limit is 80 mph/130 kph, but that's as fast as it gets, anywhere in America. 13:45 tcohen is it real what we see in the movies, that once you change state the policy can't get you? 13:45 tcohen then drojf is right :-D 13:45 drojf tcohen: but druthb probably wants to go back too :D 13:45 druthb See, there's the rub, drojf. Our cops in Texas, particularly the Highway Patrol, drive extremely high-performance cars. You're *not* faster than them, almost guaranteed. 13:46 drojf only one way… steal a police car 13:46 oleonard If there's any public infrastructure we'll pay for in America, it's toys for the police. 13:46 druthb tcohen: correct, unless you're being chased by federal police (the FBI). But the states *do* collaborate and cooperate, to some extent. 13:46 tcohen you need to get a D'elorean druthb 13:47 druthb heh. 13:47 druthb Way too fast for my blood. I'm old and boring; I top out about 120 kph, before I chicken out. 13:49 tcohen hmm, i reached 205kph when I got my new car for a 'speed limit test' 13:49 druthb I was fairly satisfied when the national speed limit was 65 mph/105 kph. Faster than that is occasionally nice, out in the boonies. 13:49 tcohen but its not a car anyone should drive at that speed 13:50 druthb The interstate between here and Dallas is now mostly 70/75 mph…that's a nice run. 13:50 druthb about four hours, and you're there. 13:51 tcohen magnus_away: around? 13:52 tcohen bug 9890 13:52 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9890 normal, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, Needs Signoff , Fix the new plugin system for package installs 13:52 tcohen what car do u own druthb? 13:54 druthb A 2011 Nissan Sentra. 13:55 jenkins_koha Starting build #48 for job Koha_3.12.x (previous build: SUCCESS) 14:18 tcohen nice druthb 14:19 huginn` New commit(s) kohagit: bug 9505 refactor loops in invoices.pl <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=e294defc299e97fe5e1ecfdeb648e8f8f080f5f5> 14:35 tcohen gmcharlt: 9507 14:36 gmcharlt tcohen: ? 14:36 tcohen is a bugfix, with enough refactoring to be considered an enh? 14:36 jenkins_koha Project Koha_3.12.x build #48: SUCCESS in 41 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_3.12.x/48/ 14:36 jenkins_koha Robin Sheat: Bug 10367 - [3.12] update the rules and control file for wheezy 14:36 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10367 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, robin, Pushed to Stable , Allow packages to work on debian wheezy 14:38 jenkins_koha Starting build #1209 for job Koha_master (previous build: SUCCESS) 14:38 gmcharlt tcohen: that one is pure refactoring; no need to push it unless a later bugfix you want to push depends on it 14:51 oleonard Can someone please give an educated answer to the "Zebra Indexing problem with upgrade" mailing list question so that paul.a doesn't have the last word? 15:09 adam_m Hello 15:11 reiveune bye 15:12 pianohacker good morning 15:18 druthb hi, pianohacker! :) 15:19 pianohacker hey druthb 15:27 adam_m Hello, I have been playing around with the settings of koha, it still seems that though I can check out books there is no way that I can place a hold on a book, I've looked and checked to make sure there wasnt some sort of setting that was stopping from doing so in the patrons category as well as checking to make sure that there was no rule against it in the circulation rules as well 15:28 gaetan_B bye ! 15:38 oleonard adam_m: Still around? 15:39 oleonard adam_m: Do you have a default circulation rule set up? 15:40 huginn` New commit(s) kohagit: Bug 8845: FIX dateonly is the 4th parameter, not 3rd! <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=d1817ab92d1dcc5d96180e65563db64469090fe4> / Bug 8845 - Add ability search patrons by date of birth - Add tooltip <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=f744c863c3db12cc8676c7d29a6711cdc3cc4681> / Bug 8845: Followup Allow to give a date using the syspref format <http://git.koha-com 15:52 huginn` New commit(s) kohagit: Bug 10381: Followup adding some text around Apply/cancel filter. <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=600eff7827be1c396e7ea13cd7c7159003d6c794> / Bug 10381: POD lines of GetBasketsInfosByBookseller <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=5bf996f68d2279ae9582b338b3d094ad20f7596c> 15:52 jenkins_koha Project Koha_master build #1209: SUCCESS in 1 hr 15 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_master/1209/ 15:52 jenkins_koha Colin Campbell: bug 9505 refactor loops in invoices.pl 15:52 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9505 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, colin.campbell, Pushed to Master , acqui/invoices.pl contains an unnecessary loop 15:54 jenkins_koha Starting build #1210 for job Koha_master (previous build: SUCCESS) 15:55 adam_m oleanard: yeah im still here sorry 16:04 tcohen set expandtab 16:04 tcohen set softtabstop=4 16:04 tcohen set shiftwidth=4 16:04 tcohen set nocul cul 16:04 tcohen set nonu nu 16:04 tcohen oops 16:06 gmcharlt :) 16:07 tcohen now everyone knows I use mcedit :-P 16:28 adam_m <oleonard> yes i did also put in default circulation rules 16:29 oleonard adam_m: AllowOnShelfHolds system preference is set to "allow" ? 16:32 drojf d'oh. anscheinend gibts ein seminar "modeling lexical data" bei den germanisten. hätte das magisterbegleitend gut gepasst 16:32 drojf hmpf 16:32 drojf wrong window 16:33 adam_m <oleonard> I was looking for that setting. where is that located 16:33 oleonard adam_m: Administration -> System preferences.

I'll rename the class tonight, then. 18:09 talljoy good afternoon! anyone familiar with bulkmarcimport.pl? i am feeding it a marc file of 119K marc authority records and it is 'loading' over 200K marc authority records for me. normal? 18:10 jcamins Not at all, if there are really only 119k auth records. 18:10 talljoy ikr, weird? 18:10 gmcharlt pianohacker: it looks like some filtering could be done via use attribute 56 (code institution) and excluding "amim" as a source 18:11 gmcharlt but unfortunately, not seeing any documented attributes that support directly filtering on the encoding level 18:11 talljoy it have verified that i only have 119K records in the file and it appears to be reading biblio marc records during the import. "....Bad MARC record 208719: blah blah blah"...... 18:11 talljoy so it is autocreating authorities for me, which is very generous, but totally unwanted behavior. 18:11 pianohacker gmcharlt: okay, cool. Thanks 18:12 jcamins talljoy: bulkmarcimport shouldn't be doing anything like that, so far as I know. 18:13 jcamins It does not in any way interface with the auth linker code. 18:13 talljoy this is very odd indeed. and i have seen this on other loads lately as well. 18:13 jcamins What version, out of curiosity? 18:15 talljoy 3.10.3 18:15 jcamins No idea. You could try stage_file. 18:16 drojf i blame cleanup_database.pl. it does surprise upgrades too 18:16 * drojf hides 18:19 talljoy i'm going to try that too. i also suspect some inaccuracies in their mrc authority data quite honestly 18:20 jcamins talljoy: and you used marclint or something like that to confirm that there really were 119k records, right? 18:20 talljoy well i used marcedit and it says 119K records, but the last record is cut off. so i suspect a bad mrc file that is not opening completely in marcedit. 18:22 jcamins "I'm not running the Zebra daemon" <-- huh? 18:23 pianohacker NoZebra? happy fun times 18:24 jcamins pianohacker: not in 3.12! 18:24 jcamins Nor 3.10, for that matter. 18:24 jcamins Nor 3.8, come to that. 18:24 tcohen Nor 3.6 or 3.4 18:24 pianohacker oh thank goodness, didn't know it had been deprecated that long ago 18:25 jcamins tcohen: but it was only deprecated in 3.4 and 3.6. Not removed. 18:25 tcohen yes 18:25 pianohacker although come to think of it, you don't need zebra for circ, so he could have just disabled it to eliminate a cause 18:26 jcamins True. 18:34 tcohen we should have added that while(true){malloc} line to the circulation.pl script 18:34 tcohen s/should/shouldn't/ 18:38 pianohacker that the datas tructure with a k20 complete graph maaaaaaay be our downfall 18:38 jcamins That what? 18:38 wahanui That is a good idea. 18:39 pianohacker graph theory babbling 18:40 druthb wahanui: botsnack Gatorade 18:40 wahanui thanks druthb :) 18:41 * jcamins realizes that "tructure" is not a verb. 18:43 gmcharlt tructure (v): to construct buildings with the aid of a truck 18:44 pianohacker ah, sorry. irc over laggy ssh 18:44 jcamins Ditto. 18:44 druthb druthbsnack tres leches cake :) 18:44 pianohacker "well billy bob I think we done did tructured it" 18:49 maximep frustration of the day: bug 10096 18:49 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10096 new feature, P5 - low, ---, dcook, Needs Signoff , Add a Z39.50 interface for authority searching 18:49 maximep we did the exact same thing 2 years ago, but could never share it 18:49 maximep -_- 18:50 pianohacker maximep: ? 18:50 jcamins maximep: that's why contributing code is not optional in my contracts. 18:51 pianohacker I've done work for certain clients under NDAs (never again), was that your situation? 18:54 maximep I won't get into details, but yeah, it sucks 18:55 maximep to work using only open source tech, but tu never have time to share stuff 18:55 pianohacker sorry to hear that 19:00 maximep bug 8337. Aren't sysprefs automatically added to the db when they don't existe ? 19:00 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8337 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Failed QA , System preferences for longoverdue cron 19:00 jcamins No. 19:00 maximep huh 19:01 pianohacker maximep: the sysprefs interface will though 19:02 maximep pretty sure you only need to add it to the .pref if you dont need a default value 19:02 maximep ah yes, that's what I meant 19:03 pianohacker weeeeell, you should explicitly add it to both, as the type and options fields are important 19:03 jcamins Yes. 19:03 pianohacker you mainly need to make sure that the type field is set to YesNo if it's a boolean field, to ensure it's intepreted and saved correctly 19:04 pianohacker plus having a description field is a nice thing for people working in the DB :) 19:05 jcamins Plus, it's required to get into Koha. 19:05 jcamins :) 19:05 maximep alright :P 19:05 maximep noted for future patches =) 19:06 pianohacker so, it's an official requirement that has a number of good reasons behind it :) 19:10 gmcharlt and will remain so unless somebody wants to add a bit more metadata to the *.pref files and writing a sync_stock_prefs() routine 19:10 gmcharlt which might be nice for DRY 19:11 jcamins And if you decide to work on that, consider replacing YAML::Syck. 19:11 maximep great idea 19:11 pianohacker that's an excellent idea 19:11 jcamins The POD says "DO NOT USE THIS MODULE." 19:11 maximep bwahaha 19:11 maximep hmmm search.cpan isnt working 19:12 pianohacker Hahaha, yeah. Your choice is between YAML::Syck, which is old and twitchy, and YAML::PP, which is _crap_ at interpreting types in YAML correctly 19:13 pianohacker I'd be quite happy to find out that other alternatives have been made 19:13 jcamins YAML::XS? 19:13 jcamins Pretty sure that's what the POD recommends. 19:13 pianohacker I _think_ that had the same problems, but let me check again 19:14 jcamins I prefer JSON, though. It's way faster. 19:14 gmcharlt but tends to be less great for cases where we expect humans to write it 19:15 pianohacker excactly 19:15 jcamins gmcharlt: You can write it formatted exactly the same as YAML, no? 19:15 pianohacker jcamins: somewhat. the syntax is clunkier, though 19:16 jcamins I understood that JSON was a superset of JAYAML. 19:16 gmcharlt and most JSON tools don't pretty-print by default (for obvious reasons) 19:16 jcamins s/JAYAML/YAML/ 19:16 gmcharlt jcamins: other way around, I think 19:16 pianohacker my understanding was the opposite 19:16 jcamins gmcharlt: ohhhh. 19:16 jcamins That clarifies why YAML is slower. 19:17 * druthb extends YAML::Syck; she is old and twitchy, too 19:17 gmcharlt :) 19:17 jcamins I always thought it was kind of dumb to use algorithms on a subset that were slower than those that handled the more general case. 19:18 jcamins And by "always," I mean "it crossed my mind once, briefly, when someone said 'let's use YAML/JSON for koha-conf.xml'" 19:19 pianohacker Truthfully, given how simple _koha's_ requirements are for koha-conf.xml, then thing could be an INI 19:20 pianohacker zebra's the main reason for it being the size, shape and format it is, afaik 19:20 gmcharlt pianohacker: eh, and that really was by happensance 19:21 gmcharlt there's actually no particular reason why the main Zebra config file needs to also store Koha's base config settings 19:22 gmcharlt for what Koha itself needs, you really could get away with plain old INI 19:22 gmcharlt ;) 19:23 pianohacker gmcharlt: the only thing I can think of is that it allows us the cool trick of storing the zebra username/password in only one place 19:23 gmcharlt no great loss if we have to store it twice 19:24 pianohacker yeah 19:55 rangi anyone got a sec to sanity check somethign for me? 19:55 gmcharlt sure 19:55 oleonard It's okay rangi I see the pink elephants too 19:56 rangi http://demo-intra.mykoha.co.nz/cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation-home.pl 19:56 rangi user:staff 19:56 rangi pass:staff1 19:57 rangi sheri turner for a borrwer, and testcard for a barcode .. it feels plenty snappy to me? 19:57 rangi prolly laggier to you on the other side of the net 19:57 rangi but not 30seconds? 19:58 oleonard No, maybe 3 seconds for me 19:58 bag yeah was snappy here too 19:58 rangi (its a single cpu 2500 mhz with 1gig of ram) 19:58 rangi running stock debian squeeze and stock 3.12.0 package 19:59 bag curlload it :) 19:59 rangi sorry, 10gig 19:59 rangi i cant read without coffee :) 20:00 jcamins Does anyone else get stopped short by CPU speeds? 20:00 bag yeah 10gig will be quick 20:00 bag jcamins I've seen it yes 20:01 jcamins bag: no, I mean the numbers. 20:01 jcamins "2500 mhz" 20:01 drojf "so the 2 differences are Ubuntu and the LiveDVD" … *whistles in an unsuspicious way* 20:01 jcamins That's freaking *fast*. 20:01 rangi but yeah its not a super box by even the slightest stretch of the imagination 20:01 jcamins I remember 33Mhz seeming fast. 20:01 rangi its running about 12 koha instances too 20:02 rangi thanks 20:03 rangi there is a benchmarc_circulation.pl that with some hacking mostly works 20:03 rangi i might try benchmarking the same db on a few different versions over the weekend 20:03 rangi but probably not 20:03 rangi cos its ataraus party tomorrow 20:04 bag is this your new home server? Or did you abandon that idea and host everything 20:04 bag yay Maui sighting right? 20:06 rangi no thats a catalyst one 20:06 gmcharlt rangi: my suspicion, albeit one without any real basis at the moment, is that it might be data dependent 20:06 rangi http://demo.mykoha.co.nz/ 20:06 gmcharlt i.e. some quirk of their circ policies causing a busy-wait loop 20:07 rangi gmcharlt: could be, but if the same data on 3.10.x .. that would be less likely, i guess it might be different data though 20:07 rangi bag: yep got a maui sighting 20:08 rangi i wonder if im the only one who is comfortable with no plugin repository, or one that says, 'we provide no, none, nada, assurance of the qualtity of any of these, use totally at your own risk' 20:08 rangi cos frankly the QA team has more than enough work already 20:09 * jcamins is comfortable with no plugin registry. 20:09 jcamins Provide a place people can upload plugins to, maybe, with the explicit note that none of them are supported by anyone other than the plugin's author, and don't count on that either. 20:09 rangi yep, just like wordpress 20:10 gmcharlt rangi: my fear with that is that without an official repo, anything calling itself a Koha plugin that is malicious or simply badly written reflects back on us 20:10 oleonard How do we provide a place for uploads without suggesting that they are at least somewhat official? 20:10 gmcharlt no matter how much we disclaim responsibility 20:10 jcamins gmcharlt: well, that cat's out of the bag, short of you reverting the plugin host. 20:11 jcamins oleonard: separate website? 20:11 bag I know that nengard and khall are working on plugin host 20:11 rangi i guess if a bunch of people want to volunteer to do plugin qa, then it might be workable, but i fear it will drain our already thin testing resources 20:11 jcamins bag: I'm not proposing that the plugin code should be removed! I bent my own rules to get it in! 20:11 bag at least one that we could offer… and I'd be willing to offer that we QA those 20:11 jcamins Oh, wait. 20:12 jcamins You meant host as in server. 20:12 jcamins I meant host as in "code that will run plugins." 20:12 bag jcamins: same 20:12 bag we'd be willing to QA those - no problem 20:13 gmcharlt bag: and along with that, promise to not allow plugins to become a way to slip stuff past the core QA radar? 20:13 bag gmcharlt: totally agree 20:14 bag plugins for us = some odd thing that would never ever make sense to write something for koha - becuase there is only one person on the world that would want it 20:14 bag if there are two people that want - I believe in a patch for koha 20:16 bag it's also pretty rad for reports 20:17 bag so far we do have one good script for it - that rolls hard-due-dates forward 20:17 rangi i figure we'd have to elect a plugin QA team 20:17 rangi if the community is going to assert anything 20:18 bag that's fine with me - we'll volunteer for it - until you get someone outside bywater that wants to do it - and we'll pass it on :) 20:18 rangi same rules should apply of course 20:18 rangi you cant qa your own work 20:19 rangi or whats the point? 20:19 wahanui the point is not that the koha-community write a page about there software and the PTFS people write a page about there's. the point is that we have useful, informative content about the software and it's history and that anything controversial is closely referenced 20:19 gmcharlt bag: one of the points, as far as I'm concerned, would be ensuring that if it happens, it happens as a broadly-shared community effort 20:19 rangi lol 20:19 rangi wahanui forget the point 20:19 wahanui rangi: I forgot point 20:19 rangi whats the point? 20:20 bag yeah I totally agree - I am not disagreing with anyone :) -- I'm just saying we are willing to help out to get the ball rolling 20:20 bag there is no reason to pull plugins - it's disabled by default 20:21 gmcharlt bag: the mere existence of the feature has consequences that I wish had been planned for a bit more in advance; but at least we're having the discussion now 20:22 rangi right kids to school 20:22 rangi bbl 20:22 bag I'm getting a little frustrated at the moment - I'll be back later… before I say something dumb 20:23 bag well normally I say dumb things - before I say dumbass things :P 20:23 gmcharlt bag: well one thing to keep in mind, there is no serious proposal to actually revert the feature 20:23 rangi ftr im way more happy with saying using at your risk, but ill live with a robust qa process as second best option 21:04 rangi back 21:19 tcohen hi rangi 21:20 rangi heya tcohen 21:20 rangi i sent a sample invitation letter 21:20 rangi so hopefully you will get one :) 21:21 tcohen i got it, thanks 21:21 rangi yay! 21:21 tcohen actually, I got my visa yesterday 21:21 rangi excellent 21:21 pianohacker phew, have swap and btrfs autodefrag in place, hopefully things will stop exploding 21:22 tcohen i'm in talks with my boss to get the money soon and book for kohacon 21:24 rangi one of the guys at work had 2 btrfs fails in 2 days 21:24 rangi he's sworn off it 21:24 rangi pianohacker: backups :) 21:24 pianohacker hahaha, yes. what do you use for backups, btw? 21:25 * Dyrcona has heard nothing good about btrfs..... 21:25 pianohacker I use it for the high write performance on an SSD with LZO compression, but it is a bit twitchy 21:25 rangi pianohacker: obnam 21:26 rangi http://liw.fi/obnam/ 21:26 gmcharlt liw++ 21:26 rangi the thing i like is you just need somewhere you can ssh to, to back up to it 21:27 rangi The backup server, if used, does not require any special software, on top of SSH. <-- made of win 21:27 pianohacker oh hey, that's right, lars 21:27 pianohacker this does look nice, simple enough to work consistently 21:28 pianohacker dejadup is sexy but all kinds of frustrating to actually use 21:28 rangi i finally fixed the ubunut ppa too 21:28 pianohacker well, debian has an up-to-date package, no excuse not to use it :) 21:28 liw ... backups. did someone mention backups?
