01:05 bgkriegel Hi #koha
01:09 * mtj waves to bernardo :)
01:11 eythian hey, anyone know how to make it so that a hold can be applied to a biblio that has no items?
01:14 mtj eythian, that might be impossible, even ? :/
01:14 eythian I'd be surprised, but at the same time I can't find any obvious syspref for it.
01:15 mtj i was expecting some 'print $error if $items == 0' situation
01:42 oleonard Hi again #koha
01:43 eythian hi oleonard.
01:43 eythian oleonard: you may know: <eythian> hey, anyone know how to make it so that a hold can be applied to a biblio that has no items?
01:43 oleonard As far as I know you can't. There has to be an item.
01:44 oleonard We have to add dummy items to on-order titles just so that holds can be placed on them before the actual items arrive.
01:44 eythian OK
01:48 edveal hi #koha
01:54 edveal the general meeting is at the top of the hour right?

02:37 gmcharlt #agreed whether to continue the 3.8.x branch and elected an rmaint for it to be decided by the December IRC meeting
02:37 crose Glad to have help. I have a baby on the way any day now
02:37 cait congrats again :)
02:38 gmcharlt crose++ # increaing the number of future Koha hackers ;)
02:38 crose Thanks
02:38 crose And hack we will
02:38 oleonard We need a gallery of Koha babies somewhere.
02:39 gmcharlt #topic Debrief on KohaCon 13
02:39 crose Where can I get an infant sized koha onesie?
02:39 khall congrats!
02:40 gmcharlt crose: via CafePress, actually
02:40 crose Ok thanks
02:40 oleonard Didn't bag show off one?
02:40 gmcharlt oleonard: now that you mention it, I think so
02:40 cait future koha developer
02:40 * oleonard does not mean to imply that bag himself modeled the onesie
02:40 cait heh
02:40 BobB_ lol
02:41 khall lol
02:41 gmcharlt as far as the conference goes, first, I'd like to extend kudos to Nancy Keener and the rest of the folks at the Washcoe County Library for doing a wonderful job
02:41 cait :)
02:41 BobB_ here, here, very well done
02:41 cait +1!
02:41 oleonard Many many thanks go to them
02:41 Bruce_ +1
02:41 rhcl +1
02:41 gmcharlt er, Washoe County
02:41 khall +2 even!
02:41 joels68 Jolly good show! +1
02:41 davidnind +1
02:42 gmcharlt #agreed the community thanks Nancy Keener and the other staff at the Washoe County Library system for hosting KohaCon13
02:42 Bruce_ I have to expand: this was the most helpful and successful conference I've ever had the privilege to take part in, and I've attended plenty.
02:42 gmcharlt and kudos to all of the other folks who volunteered for the conference
02:42 cait it was great.
02:43 BobB_ many kittens were saved
02:43 gmcharlt any other comments regarding KohaCon 13?
02:43 rhcl amenities (snacks) were good
02:44 Bruce_ As a first-timer, I would respectfully suggest that the nature of the event might have been explained with a bit greater clarity.
02:44 BobB_ #info Daniel Grobani listed info sources in the last community newsletter - very helpful reference
02:44 Bruce_ Those who have attended before need only "KohaCon", others might need more.
02:45 oleonard Bruce_: Beyond the program listing?
02:45 drojf Bruce_: what would you have liked to know?
02:45 Bruce_ Yes. The program listing was fine, but I had no idea what level the hackfest would be conducted on. I was most happy to discover that I could contribute, but I almost left after Saturday.
02:45 talljoy #info Joy Nelson ByWater solutions
02:46 BobB_ Bruce_ : we are glad you did not :)
02:46 Bruce_ Me too.
02:46 gmcharlt indeed
02:47 Bruce_ I plan to give this question some thought and contact the hosts of KohaCon14 with my suggestions.
02:47 gmcharlt Bruce_++
02:47 Bruce_ ... assuming they don't call me first!
02:47 BobB_ Bruce_ ++
02:47 gmcharlt also, a nice seque to ...
02:47 gmcharlt #topic KohaCon 14 and 15
02:48 bgkriegel We are beginning the organization and found raising (for KohaCon14)
02:49 Bruce_ Idea: Ask those who will not be able to attend to contribute an "absence fee" in an amount of their choosing.
02:49 BobB_ hmm, the idea has merit
02:49 bgkriegel Ok
02:50 Bruce_ Even a small amount sent by all those who *wish* they could attend might do wonders.
02:51 gmcharlt another idea, via feedback from KohaCon12 that I got from slef: consider offering an "enhanced ticket" as a way for libraries who want to sponsor, but who are not allowed to directly give funds for such a thing, to pay extra
02:51 eythian At a conference here, they call them high-rollers.
02:51 eythian They get better chairs :)
02:51 gmcharlt heh
02:51 BobB_ business class?
02:52 gmcharlt any other questions/comments for bgkriegel?
02:52 * talljoy just needs extra legroom
02:53 eythian * talljoy is now known as shortjoy
02:53 eythian fixed.
02:53 BobB_ bgkriegel, it will be good to set the date as soon as you can
02:53 gmcharlt reason #1 to avoid an outfit calling itself the Procrustean Hotel
02:53 rhcl yes indeed
02:54 bgkriegel Ok
02:54 gmcharlt regarding KohaCon 15 -- an observation: Africa is the one continent that has not yet hosted a KohaCon
02:55 gmcharlt (I'm making the wild assumption that an Antarctic one is never going to be practical any time soon)
02:55 gmcharlt so move on
02:55 BobB_ gmcharlt: I had to Google procrustean - very funny (and apt)
02:55 rhcl what about Asia, particularly the far east?
02:56 oleonard It was suggested that for KohaCon 15 the voting be limited to proposals from Africa.
02:56 gmcharlt rhcl: that's also a region not yet represented, but there was a KohaCon in India a couple years ago
02:56 BobB_ we can't mandate that, but the sentiment is out there
02:57 gmcharlt agreed, and one that I for one am inclined to reinforce
02:57 oleonard I would think we could vote on that proposal at some time in the future
02:58 gmcharlt indeed
02:58 Bruce_ Cons need hosts, and it may be that those most likely have little experience in organizing such events. Perhaps a group of former hosts could be formed as a support group?
02:58 gmcharlt Bruce_: yes; that has happened anyway; most/all of the KohaCons to date have had volunteer help from folks who were involved in previous ones
02:59 Bruce_ I'm sure that's so, but is that offer of help advertised?
02:59 BobB_ and two potential bidders (Nigeria and Zambia) were at KohaCon12, so know the format
03:00 gmcharlt yes -- and to be clear, there have already been viable bids from Africa; I don't think there are any particular reservations concerning that
03:01 gmcharlt #topic Action items from the October IRC meeting
03:01 gmcharlt #info the one action item from the October IRC meeting, creating the 3.16 project roles wiki page, was completed by rangi
03:01 oleonard rangi++
03:01 gmcharlt any last minute agenda items before we do the final one, setting the date of the next meeting?
03:02 edveal Should have done this at the top but I have a quick announcement.
03:02 * edveal and nengard created an XSLT Library page on the wiki. I have added a few snippets and I am sure the group can edit them and add to them. Just wanted to get the page up and running.
03:03 gmcharlt #info Announcement: edveal and nengard have created an XSLT library page on the wiki - http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/XSLT_Library

03:03 talljoy yay!
03:03 gmcharlt OK, moving on
03:03 gmcharlt #topic setting time of next meeting
03:03 davidnind 18:00 UTC is the next one up, 4 December?
03:04 gmcharlt we go 2-18-10?
03:04 cait1 we go backwards
03:04 gmcharlt ok
03:04 cait1 i think
03:04 gmcharlt cait1, that's consistent with the previous meeting
03:05 gmcharlt OK, so putting the question: shall the next metting be at 18:00 UTC on 4 December 2013?

03:15 jcamins eythian: I am now, for a few minutes.
03:15 eythian just looking at the patches to csvtomarc from you, you add a 'text' source. Does it differ from the 'literal' one that already exists?
03:16 jcamins Lemme check.
03:17 jcamins Doesn't look like it's different.
03:17 eythian OK cool.
03:17 eythian I'll have a go integrating some of them, though I think you were writing agaisnt a fairly old version, so we'll see how it goes.

11:07 kivilahtio wow my zebra doesn't index
11:07 kivilahtio It ran out of idex memory

11:07 kivilahtio Increased both biblio and shadow registers from 20G to 25G
11:08 kivilahtio doing a full reindex
11:08 kivilahtio hope it helps
11:13 magnuse fingers crossed!
11:14 kivilahtio strange thing is that i got the memory limit on my n:th reindex_zebra.pl query
11:58 kivilahtio lol It took me 1h to send email with Koha vs 1 week for Evergreen
11:58 kf 1 week?
11:59 kivilahtio kf: not sure if it was ctive work, but this seems to have been the case with our Evergreen efforts
11:59 kivilahtio kf: I didn't do those things with Evergreen
11:59 kivilahtio kf: so I wouldn't know 100% but my experience has been very negative.
12:00 kivilahtio kf: I think it included getting to know the system and configuring some email servers, but I did the same with Koha so...
12:00 kivilahtio now to crack the SMS and snailmail from email nuts
12:18 marcelr hi #koha
12:24 kf hi marcelr
12:25 kf kivilahtio: sorry, quite busy here - might always take a while for me to read back these days
12:25 marcelr hi kf
12:25 marcelr kf: we will have another six months of qa..
12:25 marcelr :)
12:25 kf yeah... why did we agree to that again? :)
12:25 marcelr no idea
12:26 gmcharlt and more after that six months has expired, I hope ;)
12:26 marcelr probably
12:51 kivilahtio any suggestions how I should make a HTTP-request from a Perl module?
12:51 kivilahtio I am working to integrate our SMS provider to Koha
12:51 kivilahtio they provide a SMS-gateway with some nice things, like sms-delivery checks
12:52 kivilahtio any ideas does Koha use some preset packages so I wouldnt have to add yet another dependecy
12:55 kivilahtio Well LWP::Simple seems to be in Koha already
12:55 kivilahtio so I think I got the answer already :)
12:55 marcelr grep -r SMS *
12:57 Joubu kivilahtio: If you are interested by sending SMS in Koha, maybe you will be interested by bug 9016 (and others linked).

13:12 jcamins kivilahtio: I always give at least 40GB for both biblio and shadow.
13:13 kivilahtio jcamins: yikes
13:13 kivilahtio jcamins: I fixed a "small" bug in our data migration toolset and we got all of our child records with the migration. DB jumped from 350 000 to 1 100 000 records :)
13:14 kivilahtio Joubu: interesting
13:14 wahanui well, interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
13:14 jcamins kivilahtio: with 1.1m records I'd probably go up to 100G.
13:18 kivilahtio jcamins: you think Zebra really needs so much space?
13:18 kivilahtio jcamins: I thought we could squeeze our DB smaller with Koha :(
13:18 kivilahtio jcamins: can we run it from RAM?
13:19 kivilahtio jcamins: this 100G is just for indexes or?
13:19 jcamins Probably not, but disk space is cheap, and the worst feeling ever is when you get 90% of the way through a reindex only to have it run out of space; and no, the indexes need to be stored somewhere no matter what system.
13:19 jcamins If you had enough RAM you could use a ramdisk.
13:20 tcohen Buy SSD disks for your server
13:20 kivilahtio tcohen: Already using
13:20 kivilahtio tcohen: couldn't live without :)
13:20 kivilahtio tcohen: And I feelthis might solve the zebra-issue
13:21 kivilahtio somehow zebra searches are still super fast
13:21 jcamins Oh, Zebra's very fast.
13:34 tcohen icu?
13:34 wahanui somebody said icu was a good idea.
13:41 kivilahtio Joubu: This looks pretty awesome! We need things like these definetely.
13:42 kivilahtio Joubu: We have the need to create a 2€ notification fine for letter1 letter2 letter3.
13:42 kivilahtio Joubu: I guess I could add your module as a dependency for it
13:42 kivilahtio Joubu: now that I am working on this notifications issue
13:55 kf gmcharlt: about the translation problem - it's only in CCSR i think
13:55 kf gmcharlt: so not sure if it's worth investing a lot of thought here if Owen didn't do something like it (which i doubt :) )
13:56 gmcharlt kf: there are a few uses of content: in prog and Bootstrap, but at first glance not for strings that need to be translated
13:56 gmcharlt I was just being through in my response :)
13:57 kf yep :)
13:57 kf and i appreciate translation problem taken seriously :)
13:57 kf we never introduced ccsr templates to our libraries here, so we kind of avoided running into that

14:59 tcohen samueld: are talking about a production server?
14:59 tcohen if you're talking about git it must be something like
14:59 tcohen git am -3 -u patch
15:00 samueld it's apatch on bugzilla
15:00 samueld a patch
15:01 tcohen and where do u want to apply it?
15:02 tcohen a git repository clone?
15:02 tcohen git bz apply XXX
15:04 samueld ok, i'll test
15:04 tcohen git bz?

16:55 kf mtompset: if it annoys a library i use css on that :)
16:55 kf display:none
16:55 wahanui somebody said display:none was usually what is used. Where's that from?
16:56 mtompset kf: But what if it is only annoying for SOME of them?
16:56 talljoy morning #koha
16:56 kf then you might want to rethink how you are using them?
16:58 mtompset Perhaps. I was thinking of using News items for publishing Library Hours.
16:58 mtompset I suppose you can say when the library hours were published.
16:59 kf you could use the mainuserblock for that
17:00 mtompset but filter mainuserblock for branches doesn't make as much sense as filtering news by branch. :)
17:06 kf if you care deeply about it you could add a checkbox to display the date -but maybe just hide it and add it to the news entry if you need it?

18:58 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6554 critical, P3, ---, ketan, Failed QA , Resolve encoding problems with corrected UTF8 handling in templates
18:59 magnuse anyone feeling like fixing the encoding problems before our pi hits the streets?
19:05 rangi not that way, no
19:06 rangi cos all those patches just make it worse
19:07 magnuse ah, there is a better way?
19:07 rangi @later tell Bruce_ you want to include the items.replacementprice column
19:07 huginn rangi: The operation succeeded.
19:07 rangi magnuse: much better, find where the non utf8 characters are sneaking in, and fix it there
19:08 rangi we should never be trying to encode/decode in the pl scripts
19:08 magnuse rangi: i think you had some idea about that before kohacon?
19:08 rangi because if your are actually using utf8 all those patches do is double encode
19:08 rangi they only work if you have non utf-8 data
19:08 magnuse yeah, we don't want that :-)
19:09 magnuse but fixing it at the source will mean we will have double encoding in some places, i guess?
19:09 rangi what we want is to only store utf8
19:10 magnuse btw, i was working with the fine folks at opl on monday and tuesday, and we had a weird encoding problem
19:10 rangi not munge it on output
19:10 magnuse 3 of the tabs showing sysprefs were showing norwegian wovels weirdly
19:10 rangi theres lots of munge on output bandaids
19:10 magnuse yeah
19:10 rangi that result in exactly those issues
19:11 magnuse so we need to fix it at the source and then weed out the bandaids?
19:11 rangi thats my plan
19:11 magnuse ooh you have a plan? :-)
19:11 magnuse does the plan come with a timeframe? ;-)
19:12 rangi not much beyond that, the hard thing is spotting what the encoding is, on input and making sure we dont store crud
19:12 magnuse kill all the crud!
19:14 magnuse the problem we saw was ok on debian, both master and 3.12.6, and it was ok with master on ubuntu, at least for me. when i checked out 3.12.6, i could reproduce it. but for petter i think master was broken on ubuntu too
19:14 magnuse it looked like it might have something to do with versions of YAML.pm or something related to that
19:15 magnuse what happened was that the contents of the YAML files generated by installing a translation were different
19:16 rangi hmm interesting
19:16 wahanui interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
19:16 rangi it could be locales
19:16 magnuse the bad ones had unquoted strings and showed norwegian vowels directly, the ok ones had quoted strings and showed norwegian vowels as um, something involving {} i think it was
19:16 rangi ie if you run the translate scripts on a machine not set up with a utf8
19:16 rangi maybe you get iso files
19:16 rangi not utf8 ones
19:17 magnuse but for me it changed between master and the 3.12.x branch
19:17 magnuse ...too
19:17 * magnuse waves to cait
19:17 rangi interesting
19:17 wahanui i heard interesting was sometimes good and sometimes bad
19:17 rangi yeah, encoding ones are hard to track down, because so many variables
19:17 magnuse we didn't have the time to really get to the bottom of it
19:17 magnuse yeah
19:18 * magnuse hates encoding problems
19:18 * cait waves
19:20 magnuse debian did not seem to have the problem, and the version of YAML there was older than on ubuntu
19:20 rangi that should be testable
19:20 rangi by cpanning on a newer version
19:21 rangi then removing it again
19:21 bag heya magnuse and cait
19:21 bag oh yeah rangi too :P
19:21 magnuse yeah, i thought about writing a minimal test case thinger, but didn't get around to it
19:21 magnuse hiya bag!
19:21 bag how's the boy doing magnuse
19:22 bag err girl (if I didn't remember correctly)

19:22 cait heh
19:23 bag wow broken thighbone - poor little guy
19:23 bag climbing on something and fall off?
19:24 magnuse nah, being carried by his mother, who fell on some slippery stairs
19:24 magnuse oops, that's him, gotta run
19:27 bag oh man poor mommy too
19:28 bag hey cait - I'd like to volunteer to do QAA again for 3.16 (that's if you'll have me again) I was thinking that I will add that to the next general meeting agenda - so that we could get a vote on it
19:28 cait bag: that's exactly what i wanted to say to you too :)
19:29 cait so of course and yep
19:29 bag cool thanks as always cait

21:37 tcohen hi #koha
21:50 tcohen hi rangi
22:00 bag heya tcohen
22:00 tcohen hi bag!
22:03 pianohacker hey tcohen
22:08 rangi [off] theyve announced that bout 6 times now
22:11 tcohen rangi, i've never set a jenkins node
22:11 tcohen is it idficult?
22:12 rangi not really, basically that machine has a user (jenkins) that jenkins connects with
22:12 rangi it just needs koha being set up on there with a 3.12.x database, and the rest can all be configured from within jenkins
22:13 tcohen and that Koha setup has some specific details ?
22:16 rangi not really it just needs to finish its install, and then all i need to know is where the koha-conf.xml is
22:17 rangi then jenkins does a git checkout, and runs all the tests using the koha-conf.xml
22:19 rangi ill just find sample config
22:20 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Continuous_Integration
22:20 rangi thats for the master branch
22:20 rangi so what jenkins does is ssh to a node, run up a java programme that then runs the commands you tell it to, and reports back
22:21 rangi so theres really nothing you have to install on the node, except an ssh key and java, (thats all done)
22:21 rangi and then the rest is specific to your project, so install a koha in this case (thats not finished)
22:23 rangi tcohen: does that make sense?
22:23 tcohen almost
22:23 tcohen :-D
22:23 rangi :)
22:24 tcohen so I fire a VM, with java installed and a jenkins user
22:25 rangi yep, so bgkriegel has one
22:25 rangi http://jenkins.koha-community.org/computer/Bernardo/
22:26 rangi so if we get a 3.12.x on there, and then i can switch jenkins to run the 3.12.x job there instead
22:26 rangi its currently not doing much of anything
22:28 tcohen i'll ask him to let me access the server
22:28 rangi perfect

22:36 poorguy any my csv file is utf8 encoded
22:36 poorguy and*
22:41 cait pianohacker: sorry was afk - what's the idea?
22:43 pianohacker cait: np, know it's late for ya. I was thinking of taking out all the preliminary refactoring and putting it in it's own bug
22:43 pianohacker making 8133's patches more focused
22:43 rangi poorguy: hmm i havent seen that before, it sounds to me like the display is doing a double conversion
22:45 poorguy how can i prevent it from doing that? I think it's related to bug 6554

22:53 pianohacker the only bad thing was that Tuesday, when I ended up with three tests in one day
22:54 cait ew
22:55 pianohacker yeah, not fun, though they all went decently. What do you have going on at work?
22:56 cait too much to start listing

22:56 cait support, migrations, all that :)
22:58 poorguy yeah i've found the problem
22:58 cait poorguy: whatwas it?
22:58 poorguy if a patron category contains unicode characters
22:59 poorguy render fails
22:59 cait ah
22:59 cait yeah we avoid that
22:59 poorguy i mean patron category description, not the patron category code
23:01 cait why do you have the description in your csv?
23:04 poorguy i dont have description in csv
23:05 poorguy i just define category code in csv
23:05 cait hmm
23:05 cait wonder if i ever tried that
23:05 cait i think by accident our usual import categories don't have umlauts
23:05 poorguy i'll show you on a demo page if you want
23:06 cait you shoud file a bug i think
23:06 poorguy https://demo-admin.calyx.net.au/ login with user: anne password: koha then click patrons
23:07 poorguy you should see Ç (which should be Ç) in alphabet
23:07 eythian that's definitely double encoding
23:08 poorguy should i update the bug 6554 ?
23:08 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6554 critical, P3, ---, ketan, Failed QA , Resolve encoding problems with corrected UTF8 handling in templates

23:31 pianohacker kk. I missed the meeting, but where would I volunteer as a module maintainer for admin starting next release?
23:33 cait pianohacker: i think put it on there - and I think we will have another vote at the next meeting
23:33 cait you will not be hte only one :)
23:35 pianohacker I'm not sure if I'll survive the _tremendous volume_ of patches to the admin interface, but I'm willing to try my best

23:37 pianohacker massive sarcasm :)
