If a rebuild_zebra -f doesn't, then koha-rebuild-zebra won't. 00:09 rangi just make sure their license doesn't preclude that 00:09 tcohen rebuild_zebra -r does the init thing 00:10 eythian oh, in that case you could just pass -r to koha-rebuild-zebra 00:11 tcohen if you run koha-rebuild-zebra, -r is passed to rebuild_zebra.pl 00:11 tcohen maybe is a side effect of my rewrite... 00:11 rangi itd be nice if they actually put a license up 00:12 rangi http://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ 00:12 eythian tcohen: I think it's always been like that, but yeah, in this case it should just work. 00:13 tcohen it has :-D 00:13 jcamins There's a bug in the rebuild_zebra.pl logic, that's why there's a problem. I think. 00:13 tcohen (always been there) 00:13 nengard wizzyrea still around? 00:14 wizzyrea yep - but I can't remember what it was I wanted to ask you >.< 00:14 eythian tcohen: I just read through the code in rebuild_zebra and you're totally right about it doing that. 00:15 jcamins There's something about the init not getting committed if there were no records. 00:15 jcamins I think. 00:16 mtj nice email eythian++ 00:16 dcook rangi: Just noticed your comments in there.

Won't have anything on it for ages since we're getting into winter, but... 01:04 dcook There will be mango bingeing when they're ripe again next summer 01:05 dcook What sort of chocolate are you using? 01:05 jcamins Just chocolate chips. 01:12 dcook Yumm 01:12 dcook I'm just thinking because I would need to use dark chocolate of some sort due to the requisite veganness 01:13 dcook Hmm, I'm sure there are 70-80% dark chocolate chips out there.. 01:27 jcamins Mmmmm. 01:28 dcook Argh. Only problem with local bands...you forget to buy their demo, you get a song stuck in your head, and you have no way to hear it again... 01:28 dcook Well, unless you're friends with a friend of the lead singer, but...that doesn't help me now 01:57 * dcook waves to cait 01:58 jcamins cait?!? 01:58 wahanui go back to bed, cait. 02:00 * dcook hopes it was just the computer and that cait is still sleeping 02:03 * jcamins thinks cait should turn her tablet off all the way so that it doesn't wake her. 02:06 rangi @wunder nzwn 02:06 huginn` rangi: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 14.0°C (1:00 PM NZST on June 04, 2013).

Pressure: 30.04 in 1017 hPa (Steady). 19:36 pianohacker just an apropos comment from the bot 19:37 drojf cait: i use windows at work sometimes. it is ok as long as it is on "their" computers. it takes seconds to minutes to make me angry if i have to start the vm on my own computer 19:37 drojf i think it's a "revier"-thing ;) 19:37 cait heh 19:37 cait that makes sense actually :) 19:38 oleonard If you can't create a new course for course reserves when there are no departments to choose from, why display the course reserves entry form at all? Just show an error message and direct the user to authorised values. 19:38 cait bug>? 19:38 cait hm is course reserves pushed? 19:39 oleonard Yes, looking at it now for the first time. 19:39 cait i am way behind on my bug mails because of the flash.... 19:39 cait oleonard: it sounds like a usability issue worth a bug 19:40 oleonard I guess we need a new bug component for course reserves. Who makes that happen? 19:41 gmcharlt oleonard: one moment 19:43 gmcharlt oleonard: et voila 19:43 oleonard Awesome, thanks gmcharlt 19:43 drojf gmcharlt: are you the happening-maker of bug components? i still think we should have something for the livedvd. i'm not sure if the person in charge would look at it though 19:43 jcamins drojf: I'm going to go with "they would not." 19:44 jcamins Is there any way to make Perl always print out the complete call stack when it dies? 19:44 drojf jcamins: maybe making that an obligation for future live-disk managers would make sense? 19:45 gmcharlt drojf: IMO, that component should exist only if somebody has explicitly stated that they will look over such bugs 19:45 jcamins drojf: sure, because people actually do what they're supposed to when elected. 19:46 drojf jcamins: they might… 19:46 drojf gmcharlt: i think you are right 19:47 gmcharlt and a general lesson, I think: no future project positions should get created without some indication of what that position does 19:48 cait gmcharlt: very good rule 19:48 cait can someone add that as a quote? 19:49 drojf i really don't know… on the one hand, everyone that volunteers for whatever is someone who spends at least some of their time for community work… on the other hand, is that something that is always better than nobody working on that particular thing? we have something labelled "official" livedvd now that has no relation to the community besides ~3 anouncements to the list and one longish thread 19:50 jcamins drojf: except when it's someone who doesn't actually volunteer any of their time for the community, of course. 19:50 tcohen what's the problem? livecd non-functional or something? 19:50 jcamins tcohen: nope, no problem. 19:51 jcamins I mean, beyond the usual "people think that the livecd is a viable option for production." 19:51 tcohen oh, *that* problem 19:52 tcohen our local koha community has come up with a nice .deb setup inside a DVD that can be installed on hte filesystem 19:52 jcamins Okay, this is absurd. 19:52 tcohen it is based on mint or smth similar 19:52 jcamins I have a script that prints things out to STDOUT and STDERR. 19:52 jcamins I want to capture all the output to a file. 19:52 jcamins How do I do that? 19:53 jcamins Short of replacing all the "prints" with "warns" 19:53 tcohen 2>&1 > file 19:54 jcamins Drat. 19:54 jcamins That's what i had. 19:54 jcamins It doesn't work. 19:54 jcamins STDERR does not get redirected at all. 19:54 tcohen its a cron script? 19:55 tcohen i mean, is it run from a cron definition? 19:55 jcamins Nope. 19:55 pastebot "jcamins" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "command" (1 line) at http://paste.koha-community.org/45 19:55 pianohacker This is just running a script from the command line? That's crazy. 19:56 jcamins pianohacker: I know... so what am I doing wrong? 19:57 pianohacker I have no idea, that's bizarre 19:58 jcamins Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat. 19:58 * jcamins replaces "say" with "warn". 20:00 mtj gmcharlt, i think some semi-regular #irc presence should be expected, for people that hold 'offical' positions 20:02 gmcharlt mtj: meh -- I see where you're coming from, but I'd phrase it as folks are expected to be reachable, in particular by those who most use their work 20:02 gmcharlt but not necessarily IRC 20:03 pastebot "tcohen" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Reproduced jcamins" (8 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/46 20:04 jcamins tcohen: oh, so say messes with STDOUT/STDERR? 20:04 mtj gmcharlt, when i say 'semi-regular #irc presence' - i just mean a bot 20:05 tcohen i think is warn 20:05 mtj … i dont mean they are required to chat about the weather on #koha, for 30 mins per day 20:06 jcamins warn? 20:06 jcamins I'm sure I've used warn in scripts and had redirect work. 20:06 gmcharlt mtj: from my POV IRC is useful but not necessary -- somebody could perform their responsibilities entirely via email and still be effective 20:07 gmcharlt more broadly, I think we should be careful about *over*-specifying expectations for official positions 20:07 tcohen this works as expected: perl test.pl 2> /dev/null 20:07 tcohen this too: perl test.pl 1> /dev/null 20:08 tcohen this doesn't: perl test.pl 2>&1 > /dev/null 20:08 gmcharlt what about perl test.pl > /dev/null 2>&1 20:08 gmcharlt that's the pattern I've always used 20:08 mtj gmcharlt, yes, i agree with both your points 20:09 tcohen > /dev/null 2>&1 20:09 tcohen heh 20:09 tcohen i put it the wrong way, well spotted gmcharlt 20:09 gmcharlt hmm, where did tcohen go, I can't hear anything from him? ;) 20:10 tcohen heh 20:10 jcamins Why does the redirect go in that order? 20:10 Dyrcona gmcharlt: You forgot | tee 20:10 Dyrcona jcamins: First you redirect standard output somewhere, then you redirect standard to a duplicate of standard output. 20:11 Dyrcona ...standard error to a duplicate of.... 20:11 jcamins Dyrcona: but wouldn't you want to do it in the other order, so that your stderr goes into the same stdout that is going into the file? 20:11 tcohen the problem is that &1 is a pointer 20:11 Dyrcona jcamins: It dups stdout at the time it sees &1. At that point stdout would still be the console. 20:12 Dyrcona man dup 20:12 jcamins Ohhhh. 20:12 tcohen that references STDOUT during evaluation 20:12 jcamins Now I understand. 20:12 gmcharlt Dyrcona++ # now I have fewer bit of cargo-cult 20:13 jenkins_koha Project Koha_master build #1216: SUCCESS in 1 hr 17 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_master/1216/ 20:13 jenkins_koha Owen Leonard: Bug 10307 - z39.50 server search tab shows z390.50 20:13 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10307 trivial, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Pushed to Master , z39.50 server search tab shows z390.50 20:14 pianohacker ^ why writing shells is harder than it first appears 20:14 pianohacker dup2 is deep, picky magic 20:15 tcohen shells where designed by hackers 20:15 tcohen not computer scientists with good semantics background :-P 20:16 jcamins Right, in hindsight I realize that running the dedup script on a file containing 213k authorities wasn't the best idea. 20:17 tcohen I should have restored the stdout/stderr redirection before starting a flame war 20:18 pianohacker tcohen: I think that statement applies to the entire POSIX API, not just shells 20:18 jcamins It takes ages and ages and ages to get to the end so that you can run it again. 20:18 pianohacker it all fits together, but the semantics are funky 20:19 tcohen heh, it is physicist's fault, that's for sure 20:20 * tcohen hopes dijkstra is not reading this somewhere 20:22 tcohen (or Reynolds heh) 20:24 cait wow 20:24 cait starting flash takes forever 20:29 oleonard See you later #koha 20:32 cait hi druthb 20:32 druthb Hi, cait! :) 21:04 jcamins Time to pick up the CSA! 21:04 jcamins :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D 21:10 pianohacker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSA ?

22:33 wahanui somebody said refactoring was not rewriting it is abstracting. 22:33 wizzyrea refactoring? 22:33 wahanui http://devopsreactions.tumblr.com/post/52045747344/i-dont-need-this-piece-of-code 22:33 wizzyrea ^ greatest tumblr ever 22:33 trea so satisfying 22:34 * wizzyrea is old, doesn't understand tumblr. 22:35 wizzyrea probably also apt for koha: http://devopsreactions.tumblr.com/post/51462515324/encouraging-the-usage-of-coding-standards 22:43 pianohacker wait, we have coding standards? shoot 22:45 cait coding guidelines? 22:45 wahanui coding guidelines are http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines 22:51 mtj hi peeps, ive got a general git/patch question for the borg... 22:52 pianohacker shoot 22:52 eythian ask? 22:52 wahanui Don't ask to ask, just ask. 22:52 mtj sorry, crafting my Q... 22:53 mtj can anyone explain what happens, when you attempt to apply a patch and it fails... but you dont get an expected file(s) with any merge-markers? 22:54 pianohacker mtj: Only certain kinds of patch application will give you the merge markers 22:54 pianohacker are you using git aplly? 22:54 pianohacker *apply? 22:55 mtj hmm, im using 'git bz apply' and 'git am ./myfile.patch' 22:55 eythian mtj: in those cases, I usually take the patch file and apply it with a 3-way merge, it's more likely to give merge markers. 22:55 pianohacker yup. add the -3 option to am to do that 22:55 mtj i have a recent example, bug 10096 22:55 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10096 new feature, P5 - low, ---, dcook, Patch doesn't apply , Add a Z39.50 interface for authority searching 22:56 mtj hmm, i'm actually using 'git am -iu3 ./myfile.patch' 22:56 eythian if it's a patch on top of a private branch, or expects another patch you don't have, then 3-way won't work. 22:59 mtj ok, i guess thats whats going on here - dcook has missed a patch in his series 22:59 mtj "fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/cataloguing/z3950_auth_search.tt). 22:59 mtj Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge. 22:59 mtj Cannot fall back to three-way merge." 23:00 mtj ive never quite known what caused that scary error 23:00 wizzyrea git fetch? 23:00 wizzyrea then try? 23:00 mtj wiz, i did it on a fresh clone 23:02 wizzyrea that probalby has to do with how he did the followup 23:02 mtj so yeah, ive checked all the obvious stuff 23:03 cjh @marc 942 k 23:03 huginn` cjh: unknown field/subfield combination (942/k) 23:04 cjh @marc 942 o 23:04 huginn` cjh: unknown field/subfield combination (942/o) 23:04 wizzyrea i am not a git expert, but when I've had problems like that (in between followups) it's because I did something like (i think!) rebase in between attaching patches when master had moved 23:04 wizzyrea but that could be wrong 23:05 mtj wizzyrea, yeah its a weird one… eyeballing the second patch, there doesnt seem to be too much wrong with it?! 23:06 eythian @marc 952 o 23:06 huginn` eythian: unknown field/subfield combination (952/o) 23:07 wizzyrea not sure, the error has to do with git being unable to match the previous commit hashes to what is existent on your repo, which suggests rebase trickery to me 23:07 wizzyrea i.e. probably not your issue 23:07 wizzyrea but the patch's 23:08 wizzyrea < not a git expert, really, that could all be nonsense. 23:08 eythian or that when it was written it wasn't actually written against master 23:08 wizzyrea ^ 23:15 mtj thanks, thats all good info :) 23:17 mtj fyi, i edited the 2nd patch slightly, and got it to apply (with a merge error) 23:17 mtj so ill fix that, then upload it 23:18 mtj i removed the troublesome diff block, for the 'z3950_auth_search.tt' file 23:19 wizzyrea dcook should be around soon 23:20 mtj …from the patch, then re-ran 'git-am -3 ' 23:20 mtj yeah, he should :) 23:21 mtj anyhoo, i learnt something there... :D 23:35 pianohacker good night 23:35 wahanui If you feel like someone is looking through your window, it's OK, it's just me. 23:50 trea hey #koha, anyone know of a simple way to determine if a file is encoded in marc-8 vs. utf-8? 23:51 jcamins trea: look for the most common MARC-8 codepoints? 23:51 trea which are? 23:52 eythian jcamins: do you mean outside of looking at the header? 23:52 eythian err 23:52 eythian trea ^ 23:52 jcamins eythian: that doesn't work at all. 23:52 jcamins 99% of the time it's wrong. 23:52 jcamins \xE8{something} I think. 23:52 eythian jcamins: maybe he's in some happy-go-lucky fantasy land where they're all right? You don't know until you ask! 23:52 jcamins lol 23:52 trea lol 23:52 * trea doubts it. 23:52 cjh trea: flipping a coin should get it right every now and then... 23:53 wizzyrea is there a reference? 23:53 * trea searches for his wooden nickel. 23:53 ibeardslee double headed? 23:54 trea ^ 23:54 eythian http://paste.wgtn.cat-it.co.nz/3ef8ca <-- trea, this is what I use to convert strings to UTF-8. It's not perfect, but usually good enough (it also does one or two other fixups) 23:54 jcamins There's probably something on LC's site. 23:54 trea strange. that URL doesn't resolve 23:55 eythian do 23:55 eythian doh 23:55 cjh lol 23:55 eythian wrong pastebin 23:55 jcamins That URL doesn't resolve. 23:55 cjh trea: if you bring your laptop to catalyst it may 23:55 trea ha 23:55 wizzyrea hm probably not actually :P 23:55 trea not on the guest wireless 23:55 cjh yeah, I dont think it is on the wireless 23:55 wizzyrea he's on the wireless :P 23:55 pastebot "eythian" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "try this one..." (25 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/48 23:55 cjh trea: if you walk here you can look over wizzyrea's shoulder :) 23:55 wizzyrea ooh la la 23:56 * trea is surprised you're not using MARC::Charset to do this. 23:56 eythian I am 23:56 trea gah 23:56 eythian marc8_to_utf8 is a function in that 23:56 trea reading fail 23:58 trea that would certainly handle a conversion, which through inference would solve the problem 23:58 trea but i guess the answer is, there isn't an easy way to tell. 23:59 eythian yeah, I just force everything to UTF-8 I can because MARC-8 needs to go away.
