21:22 cait         :)
21:14 datadoctor   have a good morning / good evening!
20:54 cait         in my experience, i am a friend of small steps :)
20:53 cait         radical new systems seldomly work :)
20:53 wahanui      small steps are going to be difficult... I'm not pushing anything that I can't even kind of test.
20:53 cait         small steps
20:52 datadoctor   Thanks cait. I appreciate the discussion on notifications. I think I will sleep on it before I start hammering out a radical, new system. Perhaps I can work with what we've got. I just want it to be easy for folks to configure, and logical.
20:47 cait         datadoctor: maybe interesting for othe rlibraires too?
20:47 cait         datadoctor: sounds useful
20:42 datadoctor   We wrote a compact PERL script to make the calls from Koha. You can specify different voices and languages as necessary.
20:40 datadoctor   Twilio stores pre-recorded messages in the cloud - you trigger their server with your ID, pw and phone list - the pre-recorded message is sent, and the patron name is generated by a text-to-voice feature.
20:38 datadoctor   We make between 30 and 60 phone calls for overdues per day. Most of the calls go to voicemail as people are at work when we call. We're hoping to reposition that labor to be in-library patron-facing, and use robotic calling.
20:34 datadoctor   We do allow the patron to pick their messaging preferences...so they can change from our defaults. Some patrons don't give us SMS or email - they are required to give us phone and mailing address.
20:33 datadoctor   two cents vs 49 cents
20:32 datadoctor   Phone costs less than postage here, so it's a stopgap before we send the physical letter.
20:31 cait         phone notifications are not common in gemrany at all :)
20:31 datadoctor   We generally use SMS > Email > Phone > Print Notice as our failover priorities for messaging.
20:30 datadoctor   I like that it is included in the failover now.
20:29 datadoctor   We'll have to patch it into the Itiva hooks.
20:28 datadoctor   We hope to implement phone notifications using a custom plug-in for Twilio - virtual phone number - reads scripts or takes recordings - used by Ebay and Yahoo customer service - automated.
20:27 datadoctor   I'm looking for efficiencies, rearranging elements from the enhanced messaging preferences, notices and slips and overdue triggers. But maybe we are close to perfect as is.
20:26 cait         we don't do phone notifications - so can't tell about those
20:26 cait         i tested recently all notices and the email ones seem to be ok
20:25 cait         hope you can figure it out
20:25 cait         we use all kinds of the notices, but not yet the changes in 3.16
20:25 cait         datadoctor: we are not woring iwth it yet
20:16 datadoctor   Thanks for talking me off the ledge. I think I am wrapping my mind around the current system of notifications.
20:13 cait         well one could - i don't think something like that is planned at the moment
20:12 cait         we could add a separatemodule to shorten the list of notice templates
20:11 datadoctor   Maybe we could separate out the overdue notices and the "notices and slips" page. Flagging them for exclusive use on the overdue triggers page would make the 1st 2nd and 3rd letters interface more logical.
20:07 datadoctor   Congratulations.
20:06 jenkins_koha Project Koha_Master_D7 build #149: FIXED in 45 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_Master_D7/149/
20:06 wahanui      o/ '`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`
20:06 jenkins_koha Yippee, build fixed!
20:05 datadoctor   I see the Talking Tech is on the Notices and Slips editor as "phone" message, so that's a great feature.
20:03 cait         i am not surei i have been out for a few days
20:01 datadoctor   I haven't seen a bug on it yet though, so I may be mistaken.
20:00 datadoctor   Some kind of interaction with the new multiple notices...?
20:00 datadoctor   The failover is failing.
20:00 datadoctor   According to Bywater, that's what's broken. However I am currently unable to verify in my test environment.
19:58 cait         so there are some fallbacks
19:58 cait         if you don't define one for print, the email one will be used (to myknowledge)
19:58 cait         that should allow to deal with print overdues as before
19:58 huginn       04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12717 critical, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Needs Signoff , Library no longer receiving Overdue email for patrons without email address
19:58 cait         bug 12717 has a patch
19:58 datadoctor   Each message_transport_type gets its own custom notice.
19:57 cait         hm we are lookig for a tester there i thnk
19:56 datadoctor   I like the new method of defining letters.
19:56 cait         it offers only new possibilities
19:56 cait         hm but 3.16 deoesn't change much there
19:56 datadoctor   next week and now I hear that notifications has broken on the failover to print notices.
19:56 datadoctor   I'm just frustrated with it today, as we were planning to update to 3.16
19:55 datadoctor   I get that this has been this way forever and changing it could be complicated.
19:55 wahanui      testing is fun! or easier when you have a test plan. Hint hint.
19:55 jcamins      And testing.
19:55 cait         yeah, it would need funding
19:54 jcamins      datadoctor: this is one of those "if someone cared enough to pay for the massive amount of time it would take to change an interface that most people interact with only once a decade, it could be a lot better" things.
19:53 cait         yes, that would be a possible enhancement
19:53 datadoctor   Then you combine the "Delay" with the "takes_days" feature - negative values for advance notices, positive values for delayed notices.
19:53 cait         there is no way to assume which is the correct letter
19:53 cait         and the codes can be freely chosen
19:53 cait         because you cna name your letters like you prefer to
19:52 datadoctor   But we have redundancy in the letters - you select a second letter, then assign it "Second Item Due" - so why not just assume that the second letter is the second reminder.
19:52 cait         they are all or nothing with hardcoded notice codes - ovedues are more flexible
19:51 cait         you don't have that granularity for other letters at this date
19:51 cait         the feature here is that you can have different letters for every notice level 1-3 and different patron categories
19:51 datadoctor   All of the letters are edited in one interface.
19:51 datadoctor   These could be defined just like any other notice.
19:50 cait         the pull down displays all letters in the circulation module
19:50 cait         the problem is the module
19:50 datadoctor   Yes, that's why its amusing to select "Advance Notice of Item Due" as an overdue letter. Seems like that should not be possible.
19:50 magnuse_     cait++
19:50 cait         and then you have overdues - those are always sent after the due date
19:50 cait         then you have due - those are send on the date the item is due
19:50 cait         you have predue = those take days, as they are the only ones send before the due date
19:49 cait         advanced notices are separate from overdues
19:49 cait         they are different things
19:49 datadoctor   Hi!
19:49 * cait       waves
19:49 datadoctor   And you can select a "Second Item Due Reminder" as the first letter, and a [first] "Item Due Reminder" as the second letter.
19:49 datadoctor   For example you can set a delay on an advance notice - doesn't that conflict with the "takes_days" set by the patron in enhanced messaging preferences?
19:49 datadoctor   I'm examining the messaging, or notifications process, and I am finding the overduerules.pl interface illogical and unnecessary.
19:48 datadoctor   You can select a reserve slip as an overdue letter.
19:48 datadoctor   And you can select a "Second Item Due Reminder" as the first letter, and a [first] "Item Due Reminder" as the second letter.
19:46 datadoctor   For example you can set a delay on an advance notice - doesn't that conflict with the "takes_days" set by the patron in enhanced messaging preferences?
19:45 datadoctor   Hi datadoctor here. Is it OK to start a conversation with a gripe? I'm examining the messaging, or notifications process, and I am finding the overduerules.pl interface illogical and unnecessary.
19:22 tcohen       have a nice weekend #koha
19:00 oleonard     Bye #koha

17:46 wahanui      kia ora, magnuse_
17:46 magnuse_     bag: HI
17:44 * magnuse_   waves
16:46 indradg      in india, the best run libraries are the ones that are run by the volunteers (usually from patrons after a certain length of membership)... but these are public librarie
16:44 indradg      its a culture thing
16:43 jcamins      I'm not saying I've never heard of theft from libraries... in fact it's quite common... but I still find it hard to get my head around that.
16:42 indradg      this is a way too common scenario in indian academic libraries
16:42 indradg      space or the lack it it
16:41 indradg      very strongly unionized. can't replace unless there is any provable evidence of wrong-doing or "sleeping" at work and secondly
16:40 jcamins      :)
16:40 jcamins      [off] And I have another theory: it would cost a heck of a lot less to just replace them than it will to get this development in... to say nothing of the cost in terms of needing additional staff and terminals to keep circ throughput the same.
16:39 indradg      i know!
16:39 jcamins      I have a theory... the problem is your circ desk staff.
16:37 indradg      there was even a couple of cases where the circ desk staff had an on-going tiff with one of the faculty. falsely "issued out" books which were actually never issued out, and then there was a merry-dance over it
16:36 jcamins      How are the circ staff going to be taught/persuaded to make Very Important Professor stand still for his photo... ninety times in a row?
16:35 indradg      the idea is once the item is returned the photo would be "shredded"
16:27 jcamins      Yeah, but photographing every book transaction would. I guess maybe if you made it so that the photographs were controlled by the same anonymization bit as circ records...
16:25 indradg      it does not, it is more of "security theatre" than anything
16:25 jcamins      Security cameras don't necessarily provide a permanent record of who took out [controversial book].
16:24 indradg      too many cases where readers have torn out pages they need and left the book on the shelf
16:23 indradg      in this case, patron anonymity is already shot to smithereens! 12 cctv cameras inside the library stacks (open access) to prevent pilferage and damage and 3 uniformed security personnel
16:23 jcamins      (I know this isn't your problem, just thinking out loud)
16:23 jcamins      I guess the idea is "we'll have a photograph of the person who checked out books during this session to give to law enforcement," but is a thief really going to stand there and pose?
16:22 jcamins      No, I can see that, but if the staff can't police based on photo IDs, I don't see how they're going to be any more effective at preventing theft when patron anonymity is eliminated.
16:21 indradg      i know, i don't like it much myself
16:19 * jcamins    makes a suitably dubious face about the effectiveness of eliminating patron privacy in preventing planned thefts.
16:19 indradg      the circ desk stuff is often high school graduates or less and usually in awe of the mighty profs... as silly as that may sound to you
16:18 indradg      that is supposed to the rule here too. but in practicality it is not always followed very strictly.
16:17 jcamins      (or come with an authorization letter)
16:17 jcamins      And be pre-authorized by the professor.
16:17 jcamins      indradg: that's very common here too, and the research assistants have to show *their* photo ID in order to do it.
16:16 jcamins      indradg: okay, another silly question: if this is a serious concern, why doesn't the university just make a rule that adjuncts can't take out books until they pick up their permanent ID card?
16:16 indradg      jcamins: plus its a mindset issue as well - senior faculty members will often send in their orderly or research assistant to get books issued on the faculty member's card
16:14 indradg      s/used/issued/
16:14 indradg      it was a temp card used to an adjunct faculty while the photoid was in the works
16:13 jcamins      indradg: and it didn't occur to the university to put photographs of the students on their cards?
16:12 indradg      had some nasty business at an University client - person A comes in with B's access card, checks out with books under A. A files a police report that he was mugged and card stolen. The client lost about $1000 worth of imported books.
16:10 indradg      jcamins: plus I'm planning to add a syspref to capture a picture of the person checkin / checking out to restrict 'buddy punching' of the access card
16:09 oleonard     C4/Selfie.pm
16:08 indradg      jcamins: ^^^
16:08 jcamins      Ah.
16:08 huginn       04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6815 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, tomascohen, ASSIGNED , Capture member photo via webcam
16:08 indradg      tcohen: please attach the patches to bug 6815
16:08 jcamins      Why does Koha need access to a camera?
16:05 indradg      alright!
16:05 tcohen       2) layout
16:05 tcohen       1) test for html5 access to camera support (so the widget doesn't get loaded and tell it cannot access camera)
16:05 indradg      ok
16:04 tcohen       there were two things missing:
16:04 indradg      tcohen: that would be fab actually!
16:04 tcohen       i might attach them to the bug
16:04 tcohen       indradg: i can give you the patches I already have
16:03 indradg      I'm not sure how far i would be able to go yet, being all new to Koha programming and all that :)
16:03 indradg      tcohen: i was looking for that feature, need it in a project... since you are busy with 3.18, would you mind if I tried my hand at it?
16:01 indradg      lol
16:01 wahanui      rumour has it indradg is the one who told me
16:01 indradg      what is indradg?

13:53 oleonard     Hi #koha
13:33 ashimema     I wan't to override the cascade_copy for just that run..  can't find it in the docs so wondered if anyone here could advise?
13:33 huginn       tcohen: The operation succeeded.
13:33 tcohen       @later tell rangi about bad paul's email http://snag.gy/GhZmI.jpg
13:32 ashimema     i.e.. I've got a script where I want to ->copy a dbic row which has a has_many relationship within it..
13:31 ashimema     any dbic pros about?.. anyone know if you can override a relationship from the caller?
13:31 ashimema     hi tcohen
13:30 tcohen       hi ashimema
13:10 huginn       tcohen: The operation succeeded.
13:10 tcohen       @later tell indradg I halted that work for now, need to focus on other stuff for 3.18
13:09 wahanui      morning is a state of the cait
13:09 tcohen       morning!
12:41 jcamins      Heh. I've been told that, but I never had any luck with it. Postfix for me. :)
12:41 Joubu        easiest
12:41 Joubu        jcamins: the easier to configure :)
12:40 jcamins      Joubu: you poor man. exim. :P
12:40 Joubu        jcamins: I need to fix my exim config in order to verify there is no regression on sending emails, but all look good at the moment.
12:39 jcamins      Yay! :D
12:39 Joubu        yes you are right, it's better now. thanks
12:39 Joubu        jcamins: arf, silly me!
12:39 jcamins      Right now it says: $bookseller->{'contacts'}->[0]->email('testemail@mydomain.com');
12:38 jcamins      (that's changed)
12:38 jcamins      $bookseller->{'contacts'}->[1]->email('testemail@mydomain.com');
12:38 jcamins      Joubu: There's another line you'll need to change to swap the contacts:
12:38 Joubu        jcamins: yes
12:38 jcamins      Joubu: do you mean just swapped the two lines?
12:37 Joubu        jcamins: (sorry for the delay) I just swapped the 2 contacts in the UT file. I expected that the tests still pass, but it's not the case.
12:27 jcamins      (when you swapped the order)
12:26 jcamins      Joubu: obvious question, but you changed the code that modifies the contact later to change the second contact, right?
12:21 jcamins      Hmm.
12:21 Joubu        jcamins: but forget it, I will deep into the code! :)
12:20 Joubu        jcamins: If I swap the 2 contacts (on adding the bookseller), the tests don't pass
12:19 jcamins      Joubu++
12:19 Joubu        (I fixed the conflict)
12:19 Joubu        but I was just wondering
12:19 Joubu        jcamins: the ut pass
12:19 jcamins      Right, that's what it's supposed to do. Was there a merge conflict that has it not doing that anymore?
12:18 Joubu        The way you wrote it, it looks like you get the contact where claimacquisition is 1
12:18 jcamins      It's based on the claimacquisition field.
12:18 Joubu        The last one, l.337
12:17 wahanui      Which one is that? The fixed navbar?
12:17 jcamins      Which one?
12:17 Joubu        actually the notice is generated using the first contact defined, that's it?
12:17 Joubu        I don't understand the UT in Letters.t
12:17 jcamins      Yay!
12:17 Joubu        jcamins: I'm QAing bug 10402
12:17 jcamins      What's up?
12:17 jcamins      Eh. Briefly, maybe.
12:16 Joubu        jcamins: around?
11:54 drojf        magnuse: i would have preferred facebook chat :D
11:53 * magnuse    wanders off

10:10 ashimema     k,, cheers for the update
10:09 Joubu        ashimema: about the batch checkout enh, I am waiting for an answer from pianohacker. But not sure he saw my comment.
10:08 magnuse      eythian++ for the access log thing
10:07 Oak          denial state. hah. that's funny.
10:07 Oak          oooh that makes sense. very cool. thanks magnuse!

10:03 wahanui      hmmm... bug 11703 is waiting for an answer, I started QA on it :)
10:03 magnuse      ashimema: bug 11703?
09:58 Oak          i wonder what's that single purple led that on in the middle for?
09:57 Oak          love it. never even imagined it before.
09:57 Oak          awesome LED thing eythian
09:14 ashimema     [ajax circ.. what bug is that.. what version is it in/aimed for?
09:04 eythian      that was close
09:04 eythian      phew, I nearly forgot to print my beervana ticket for tomorrow
08:59 ashimema     [off] just found the thread with pauls rant eythian.. plonker would be the term.
08:54 eythian      )
08:54 eythian      (the one in the picture is 1M (60 LED)
08:54 eythian      I have a 2M (120 LED) strip looking for a project. If you have any ideas, @later them to me, I'm heading off now.
08:54 Joubu        haha, excellent!
08:53 eythian      http://imgur.com/mhU87Cb <-- if I haven't, that's it running. But it's Friday evening, so very low traffic (it's essentially plotting the access log hits in the past 60 seconds and the peak for the past hour.)
08:51 eythian      Have I shown you folks my neat arduino LED server traffic display?
08:51 eythian      now I do run it with a basic gnome environment, but just to get theming etc, no widgets.
08:50 eythian      found that that was unnecessary
08:50 eythian      I ran it under unity to start with
08:48 Joubu        you can use xmonad in gnome shell I think, so no excuse to try :)
08:47 eythian      yeah, you need to, otherwise it's too easy to put it off
08:47 ashimema     should do at some point.
08:47 ashimema     not taken the full plung yet though..
08:47 ashimema     I keep pocking at xmonad and similar..
08:47 eythian      [off] good to see paul a got more responses pointing out his ridiculous comments.
08:46 eythian      it's super fast to work with now
08:46 eythian      heh
08:46 Joubu        same I spent 2 weeks :) But now I really love my configuration!
08:45 eythian      I should learn haskell, that'll make it easier.
08:45 eythian      it's not easy to configure, it took me a day or so to get it how I liked, but now I don't change it :)
08:45 Joubu        xmonad is not easy to configure, but awesome or flwm look easier
08:43 eythian      which xmonad can
08:43 eythian      I've not used that. At home I rarely use workspaces, at work everything is workspaces, but one thing unity can't do is let me say "put worspace 1 on the left monitor, workspace 8 on the right one."
08:42 eythian      super+number launches that numbered thing on the launcher, for example
08:42 ashimema     I really like gnome shell.. I tihnk their take on workspaces is the simplest to use personally.
08:42 eythian      the keyboard shortcuts in unity are nice
08:42 eythian      (xmonad is pretty rigid, but that suits work where I'm mostly doing sets of specific things.)
08:42 ashimema     yeah.. that's kinda why I never bothered making the switch.. that was the main thing I liked the sound of.. but i didn't seem to use it enough to warrant using the entire de
08:41 eythian      my work desktop is xmonad, it's only my laptop and home desktop that use unity
08:41 eythian      though, when I'm using unity it's very casual use for the most part.
08:41 eythian      I love the idea of the hud, I just find I rarely use it
08:40 ashimema     would like to see that ported ;)
08:40 ashimema     the only thing I sort of like about unity is the hud..
08:40 ashimema     just wish it was a little more stable with my graphics setp.
08:40 eythian      fair enough
08:40 eythian      e.g. stopping the stickyness when moving the mouse between screens which is surprising if you aren't used to it.
08:39 ashimema     I'm pretty happy with gnome shell to be honest..
08:39 ashimema     it always gave me a real run around.. windows randomly changing monitor for no aparent reason.
08:39 eythian      there are some settings you can use to make it easier for your use case
08:39 eythian      plug it in and it works
08:39 eythian      yep
08:39 ashimema     really.. ?
08:38 eythian      ashimema: I've had no problem with unity on multiple monitors
07:58 ashimema     Unity is just rubbish with multiple monitors.. and doesn't really do the workspaces stuff i've got really used to

07:56 wahanui      Unity is better now than the first iteration; the first was really flakey, but with some recent updates and a better working knowledge of it it seems to be better.
07:56 indradg      what is Unity?
07:44 ashimema     missed him
07:44 ashimema     I didn't like unity..
07:44 dcook        Friday night! Time to run. Enjoy your Friday/weekend, peeps.
07:41 Oak          [off] awesome disappeared builder now.
07:29 smayo        on a packaged system...is there anything special that needs to be done with user edited help entries when upgrading?
07:14 dcook        Tried Unity a bit but wasn't a fan
07:14 dcook        I really like Gnome3 on Debian so far. LXDE was good with Ubuntu for a netbook, and KDE always seems all right.
07:13 dcook        What DE do you use?
07:13 dcook        Yeah, maybe when I get back from holiday I'll switch over to Ubuntu for my desktop
07:13 dcook        Weird. Maybe I updated at just the right time then.
07:12 dcook        [off] yep all good. He's one awesome builder :D
07:11 ashimema     [off] hope he's ok
07:11 ashimema     all very madening..
07:11 ashimema     I had to grab an old version of that script from another server.. let apt sort itself out using it.. then remove the script again..
07:11 dcook        [off] he was on the roof :)
07:11 ashimema     it's a know squeeze to wheezy issue that randomly happens apparently.
07:10 ashimema     got the bugger..
07:10 ashimema     I use ubuntu to my desktop and debian for any servers.
07:00 dcook        [off] hmm, it appears my builder has disappeared and isn't answering his phone. Hope the guy is all right...
06:45 dcook        Recently thinking about switching to Ubuntu 14.04 (for my desktop) as it has way better MTP support than Debian Wheezy. Hopefully Jessie will be better than Wheezy though, so undecided on whether or not to just hold off...
06:43 dcook        I can't remember if I installed Koha before or after I upgraded to Wheezy...but I recall it going fairly smoothly
06:42 dcook        update-perl-sex-parsers?
06:42 ashimema     :(
06:42 ashimema     currently running up against the update-perl-sex-parsers missing problem.
06:42 reiveune     salut dcook
06:42 wahanui      rumour has it reiveune is working for biblibre
06:42 dcook        hey reiveune
06:42 dcook        ashimema: That sucks :/
06:27 wahanui      bonjour, reiveune
06:27 reiveune     hello
06:06 ashimema     though I'm currently fighting with server which doesnt want to be dragged kicking and screaming onto wheexy from squeeze
06:05 ashimema     not bad either..
06:05 dcook        Not too bad. Yourself?

03:53 dcook        Interesting. What are they doing? Writing, reciting, being conveyed places?
03:53 wizzyrea     yeah for national poetry day
03:52 dcook        Poets on the buses, wizzyrea?
03:31 wizzyrea     actually supposedly there are poets on the buses today.

03:17 dcook        [off] I've heard stories about unpleasant bus adventures...
03:15 wizzyrea     [off] that sounds unnecessarily dirty.
03:15 wizzyrea     good for when I'm 1 handed typing on the bus.
03:15 wizzyrea     I don't mind the built in swype thing
03:12 dcook        Maybe after I get back from Europe..
03:12 dcook        Well, since my laptop got stolen, I have incentive to get a new one now :p
03:12 dcook        Dinger :/
03:02 eythian      typing on a tablet still sucks
03:02 eythian      yeah
03:02 dcook        Is that are in the Play store?
03:01 dcook        (great for reading comics though :D)
03:01 dcook        I thought I would like writing emails more on a tablet than a phone, but I can't stand it so far :/
03:01 eythian      swiftkey
03:01 dcook        eythian: what keyboard do you use on your tablet?
02:49 eythian      swiftkey has that too
02:48 dcook        Hope the three of you are well
02:48 dcook        night tcohen :)
02:48 dcook        Ooo, that could be handy
02:48 tcohen       Night
02:47 tcohen       Ah Swype feature: multiple simultaneous languages
02:45 tcohen       Fair enough, it is not going to be on 3.16.3 anyway I guess
02:44 dcook        Well, I have a fair bit on my plate for today still, I think, but I'll make a note to myself to check it out early next week
02:44 tcohen       Heh
02:44 dcook        I was wondering when AndroUser turned into tcohen ;)
02:42 tcohen       It's difficult to type on the phone
02:42 tcohen       And fixes the bug, heh
02:42 tcohen       Exactly, it is more efficient. A lot
02:42 dcook        Ahh, I see. You've moved the facet code a bit? Cool :)
02:40 tcohen       Looking for peer review, and possibly testing. Whatever you're up to
02:40 dcook        tcohen: Or do you mean in terms of testing?
02:39 dcook        tcohen: I could. Why do you ask? :)

01:41 dcook        [off] dcook doesn't heart difficult to decipher emails
01:41 * dcook      hearts git
01:40 dcook        yeah, I have a *.bak for something I think..
01:39 eythian      *~ and .*.swp or something
01:39 eythian      yeah, also the existing stuff
01:39 dcook        I think that would do the trick
01:38 pastebot     "dcook" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "contents of .gitignore" (5 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/166
01:38 eythian      (as in, someone ought to go add them to .gitignore, not something's wrong and that's why you're seeing them.)
01:38 indradg      thank you all for the 'legup' :D
01:38 dcook        ^
01:38 eythian      most of those should be .gitignored
01:37 dcook        Indeed :)
01:37 indradg      thanks :-)  I wasn't sure I wanted to add all of that with an -A http://pastebin.com/kcRfpHg7
01:35 dcook        Admittedly, I think I committed blib as well, but only locally
01:35 dcook        Ouch :(
01:35 jcamins      dcook: no one had told me about .gitignore back then.
01:35 dcook        .gitignore :D
01:35 jcamins      Also blib.
01:35 jcamins      The time I accidentally committed several megabytes NYTProf stuff broke me of the -A habit.
01:35 dcook        Like... 1) git add <filename> 2) do some work on files 3) git commit -a
01:34 dcook        Although if I'm committing, I often use -a
01:34 eythian      otherwise I'll get unrelated crap sucked in by accident
01:34 eythian      me too
01:34 dcook        Yeah, me too
01:34 jcamins      indradg: I always add things by file name.
01:34 indradg      one last dumbass question: say I have created two files - abcd1234.pl and abcd1234.tt, should i simply add them with git add <filename> or should I use `git add -A`
01:34 * dcook      comprehends the new low statement now.
01:33 dcook        Damn, I broke my rhyme...
01:33 dcook        Ah, not anymore.
01:33 jcamins      dcook: oh, right. You get the digest.
01:32 dcook        Maybe you haven't given it a fair go?
01:32 dcook        How so?
01:32 dcook        A new low?
01:32 jcamins      Alas, I found out on what I think might be a new low.
01:31 jcamins      dcook: well at least I know now.
01:30 dcook        jcamins: That sucks about your phone :/
01:30 dcook        git bz is awesome
01:30 dcook        :)
01:27 indradg      dcook:
01:27 indradg      thanks rangi, dcoo, jcamins :)
01:27 jcamins      indradg: okay, you're fine then. :)
01:27 indradg      so, lemme get gthis... what git.bz will do, is to ease the git format patch submission process and go one-on-one with the bug id in question?
01:26 indradg      I'm already doing that
01:26 eythian      always and forever
01:25 jcamins      Separate branch. Definitely.
01:24 rangi        well you should be developing on branches .. not on master .. but how you decide to manage your local dev is up to you
01:24 jcamins      AAAAARRRRGGHHHH!!! My new phone has a different way of showing filtered messages.
01:23 indradg      :)
01:23 indradg      rangi: this is what got me confused -> git checkout -b bug_xxxx origin/master
01:23 * dcook      wonders if all of Arnott's Shapes are hexagons...
01:22 wahanui      OK, eythian.
01:22 eythian      wahanui: ftp is <reply>http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie
01:22 indradg      cool!
01:21 rangi        thats it
01:21 dcook        http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration#Submitting_a_patch
01:21 indradg      that's it?
01:20 rangi        or HEAD^ or whatever commit you want to attach
01:20 rangi        git bz attach -e bugnumber HEAD
01:20 rangi        you just do
01:20 rangi        but instead of doing the git format-patch step
01:20 rangi        you need to just commit as usual
01:19 wahanui      now is good time with holidays coming up
01:19 indradg      now what
01:19 indradg      cd ed into kohaclone
01:19 indradg      I've configed git.bz
01:18 rangi        right
01:18 indradg      have not committed (local) anything yet
01:18 indradg      worked a bit.. git added my new files
01:17 indradg      created a branch l2c2master on that
01:17 indradg      i've kohaclone on $HOME
01:17 rangi        yep
01:17 indradg      rangi: help! /me is reading http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration
01:14 rangi        it happens to everyone
01:14 rangi        :)
01:12 indradg      lol.... my first "hazing" by great paul a
00:42 rangi        his derailing of discussions with offtopic rants
00:39 rangi        paul A even :) paula is fine
00:39 rangi        officially had it with that attitude from paula
