23:22 * dcook    really needs to remember to write up that talk at some point..
23:22 dcook      I like liking people!
23:22 dcook      Oh? That's neat :)
23:21 wizzyrea   bummer, you'd have liked each other I think.
23:20 dcook      wizzyrea: Nope. Not even a little bit. Just seen his comments on Bugzilla and Git
23:20 dcook      (Yet still responsive. Got good help there)
23:20 wizzyrea   dcook did you ever have occasion to work much with sekjal?
23:20 dcook      Although the Postgresql channel is rather busy
23:20 dcook      So much that
23:20 dcook      "lamenting how unresponsive everywhere-thats-not-#koha seems to be"
22:53 sekjal     :)
22:53 talljoy    i'm blowing out the door to pick up the teenager.  (sekjal....they get there very quickly...just FYI)
22:52 talljoy    very exciting!!!
22:52 talljoy    baby countdown commences i see!
22:52 sekjal     hi, talljoy!
22:52 talljoy    hiya sekjal

22:50 bag        @sekjal++
22:49 bag        catch you later sekjal :)
22:49 sekjal     less than 2 weeks to the due date
22:49 * bag      was just running out the door
22:48 bag        I see from the scrollback - pretty soon man
22:48 bag        I was just thinking about you the other day
22:47 sekjal     hey, bag!
22:47 bag        heya sekjal
22:08 * sekjal   was sad to miss KohaCon 2014… so close yet so far
22:07 wizzyrea   teehee
22:07 sekjal     obviously
22:07 wahanui    i haven't a clue, sekjal
22:07 sekjal     wahanui: take a check?
22:06 * wizzyrea pats wahanui
22:06 wahanui    wizzyrea: huh?
22:06 wizzyrea   oh, don't know if you met our resident snark bot, wahanui.
22:06 wahanui    That'll be $1 for the awesome jar, sekjal
22:06 sekjal     awesome!
22:06 wizzyrea   things gradually getting better, all the time :)
22:05 wizzyrea   acquisitions is finally starting to make a bit of sense
22:05 wizzyrea   and we now have borrower lists, and borrower attributes (basically user definable borrower fields)
22:05 wizzyrea   that was pretty neat
22:05 wizzyrea   we just did an ajax circ
22:05 wizzyrea   well there's always stuff coming
22:03 wizzyrea   hmm
22:01 sekjal     any fun developments in the pipeline lately?  or new community pushes/initiatives?
22:01 wizzyrea   http://gifshost.com/112011/1321036635_cat_wants_attention.gif < kinda like that
22:00 sekjal     truly
22:00 wizzyrea   boo for them, yay for us :)
21:58 sekjal     I was just in another IRC channel trying to get help for an application I'm writing, and was lamenting how unresponsive everywhere-thats-not-#koha seems to be
21:57 wizzyrea   that's how excited we are to see you :)

20:20 cait       a blank line at the end might help
20:20 cait       hm if marjorie comes back
20:12 rangi      no one is disputing that its not a DB abstraction layer, but some are saying that we should follow the same rules no dbi stuff in .pl .. no dbix stuff in .pl too
20:11 rangi      hmm i think people are talking past each other with the DBIx thing
20:07 * indradg  goes to read irc logs
19:50 marjorie   rangi: thanks. i put location:[CODE] in sys pref but it does not work and i don't know why.

19:25 marjorie   hi,  is anyone having trouble with opachiddenitems since 3.12
19:22 ashimema   I've been thinking similar thoughts on having some sort of versioning on with your stylesheets, and had simlarly had issues with using a query appended..
19:21 ashimema   oleonard, i'm glad you raised that..

17:06 wnickc     thanks
17:05 jcamins    I believe so, yeah.
17:05 wnickc     jcamins: and -intra is default suffix, right?
17:03 wnickc     Ah, I am going to update that line
17:01 jcamins    wnickc: no, the defaults are 80 with packages.
17:01 wnickc     jcamins: Just a question about those instructions, they say default ports are 80 for OPAC and 8080 for staff, maybe I missed soemthing, but when I set up my VM recently both seemed to be default to 80, did i miss something?
16:56 jcamins    agbolo: ^^ those are good instructions. Good luck!
16:56 wahanui    somebody said packages was at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
16:56 jcamins    packages?
16:55 agbolo     please can someone help
16:54 agbolo     i cannot solve this pending perl modules TEmplate::Plugin::HtmlToText , Local::Maketest , Locale::Maketext::Lexicon and MARC::Record
16:54 agbolo     TEmplate::Plugin::HtmlToText , Local::Maketest , Locale::Maketext::Lexicon and MARC::Record
16:53 agbolo     i dont know if i have the right files
16:53 agbolo     i am stack on some package installation
16:53 agbolo     hello team
16:20 bag        hmm I don't think so oleonard
16:15 oleonard   I wonder if rangi's old IRC stats page is still running somewhere
16:05 fridolin1  bye all
15:57 Joubu      bye #koha
15:44 gaetan_B   bye
15:44 kivilahtio ok
15:44 oleonard   No
15:43 kivilahtio do I remember wrong but couldn't you set circulatin rules by ccode?
15:36 oleonard   kivilahtio: Around 50 at last count, which isn't problematic for us.
15:35 kivilahtio only ccode
15:35 kivilahtio maybe we could use ccode for circulation
15:35 cait       sorry have to run
15:34 kivilahtio oleonard: that is one extra select dropdown when items are added
15:34 kivilahtio oleonard: you need to set a lot of collection codes
15:34 cait       ^^
15:33 oleonard   kivilahtio: For what it's worth, at my library we use itemtype only for setting circ policy and use collection codes for tracking statistics on specific collections.
15:33 cait       i think we have even alibrary where itemtypes are 7-days 14-days etc.
15:33 kivilahtio so in addition to itemtype we would set the collection code and use that for circulation checks
15:33 cait       or you could move those into the collection fied
15:33 cait       and dvd would be in the record - material type
15:32 cait       kivilahtio: we use short loan, long term etc. as itemtypes
15:32 kivilahtio DVD, shortloan, normal, quickloan
15:32 cait       kivilahtio: hm maybe you need to rethink your approach
15:32 kivilahtio oleonard: actually triple :)
15:31 kivilahtio oleonard: double what we have now
15:31 kivilahtio oleonard: I think I will talk about that tomorrow and see if we could use extra itemtypes, but we would get a LOT of them
15:31 kivilahtio but changing hte itemtype would be visaully the best and easiest way to go
15:30 mveron     redirection?
15:30 kivilahtio oleonard: maybe I could bring it out again considering thet the hack I made deosnt work anymore on the staff side due to the great and needed AJAXified checkin/out
15:30 tgoat      thanks for the redirection mveron :)
15:30 kivilahtio oleonard: but we are yet to look too deeply into statistics, we have been looking into it and my suggestion of using itemtypes was crushed
15:29 tgoat      good morning mveron :)
15:29 mveron     hi tgoat :-)
15:29 tgoat      hi everyone :)
15:29 kivilahtio oleonard: i think we ar efacing sttistical issues if we create many itemtypes
15:29 oleonard   kivilahtio: Is there a disadvantage to adding additional item types which you are trying to avoid?
15:28 kivilahtio oleonard: yes

15:28 mveron     @wunder Allschwil
15:27 mveron     Hi #koha
15:19 oleonard   kivilahtio: Is your goal to avoid creating additional item types?
15:08 agbolo     how do i go by it with having to get series of dependencies using synaptic is it possible?
15:08 agbolo     i want the system to download it automatically
15:08 agbolo     noo

14:47 agbolo     please i am installing for the first time koha on squeeeze
14:45 agbolo     hello
14:27 gaetan_B   do we have a list of characters that are part of the zebra syntax and are not really allowed in a seach ? (like parenthesis)
14:23 cait       Joubu++ fridolin++
14:16 cait       :)
14:13 fridolin   oki
13:55 cait       you could give the patch a first sign off maybe?
13:55 cait       hm right now i think not
13:53 fridolin   cait: can I do something as 3.14 RM right now ?
13:53 fridolin   oki
13:52 cait       not something that is strictly needed in a bugfix release
13:52 cait       to be honest i think if the performance problem is not a regression, soemthing we made slower ... I'd think it's an enh
13:52 cait       hm yes
13:51 fridolin   some updates with database indexes
13:51 cait       hm do you have an example?
13:51 fridolin   some important/performance patches
13:50 fridolin   but many patches will remain in master then
13:50 cait       more bugs in our program logic than in the database
13:50 cait       i am not sure, but i feel it should happen quite seldomly
13:49 fridolin   cait: ok it's more clear for me
13:49 cait       yeah i think if you really wanted to bacport a database chance, you'd have to submit a patch to master too
13:49 fridolin   but the work can not be done when backporting no ? it me be prepared in the patch for master
13:48 fridolin   cait: our totally right
13:47 cait       You should be particularly cautious about backporting a change that  includes a database update.  This is because a library that uses your  stable branch will eventually upgrade to a newer major release, and as a  consequence may run the same DB revision.
13:47 cait       http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Release_maintenance
13:46 cait       actually kind of that yes
13:46 cait       fridolin: hm what are you looking for?
13:46 oleonard   I thought it was a guideline that database changes should not be backported.
13:45 fridolin   guide
13:45 fridolin   i there something in the gide lines ?
13:45 fridolin   oleonard: I'd like to, but in this case all database update should check they are not already launched no ?
13:42 cait       but when you go from a version where the roadtype has been deleted already to the current one, then yes
13:42 cait       if you go from before the first roadtime to a current version, ther eis no problem
13:41 cait       it's depending on timing and where you come from
13:41 cait       does that make sense?
13:41 cait       then it will run again
13:41 cait       then later decide to go a version up
13:41 cait       so you ran it as part of your bugfix updates the first time
13:41 Joubu      (we should not use updatedatabase.pl)
13:41 cait       actually
13:41 cait       i think the problem is when you update from the last bugfix release to master
13:41 oleonard   fridolin: Are you saying you don't expect libraries to upgrade from 3.14.x to 3.16.x?
13:41 cait       hm
13:40 fridolin   Joubu: should we not use RaiseError flag in updatedatabase ?
13:40 fridolin   because database update will run has if the database was on master version
13:38 oleonard   Why wouldn't that be supported?
13:38 fridolin   cait: i realy thought updating from a stable branch to another was not supported
13:38 Joubu      fridolin: no, it's caused by the RaiseError flag
13:37 cait       that's not a bad one, but when we shuffle data around it should be tested if the update is ok i guess
13:37 cait       fridolin: i think even a syspref backported will raise a duplicate warn when there is no 'ignore' in the statement
13:36 Joubu      for master, but easily backportable on 3.16.x
13:36 cait       ah cool
13:36 Joubu      I sent a patch on the bug report
13:36 cait       updating the second database update to check for the existance of the table first
13:36 fridolin   you think that when creating the database update, one should test if it has been launched already ?
13:36 cait       i thinkw e need a patch for master and have that in the next 3.16.x release
13:35 fridolin   but i thought this update was pretty clear
13:34 fridolin   I agree
13:34 cait       in my opinion
13:34 cait       ideally not many shoudl go into the bugfix releases, if at all
13:34 cait       I think the main thing here is that we need to be extremely careful when backporting database updates
13:34 fridolin   whe have the same issue when updating from 3.2 to recent branch
13:34 cait       hm it would not be good if it wasn't
13:33 fridolin   but i think this is not the only database update that can not be executed twice
13:33 fridolin   ah ok
13:33 cait       yes
13:32 fridolin   Joubu: you mean when you update from 3.14.x to 3.16 or master ?
13:32 cait       when you update a 3.14.7 to a 3.16.x it will run the same table drop twice
13:32 cait       fridolin: did you find it?
13:32 cait       reading back now
13:31 cait       sorry, had to talk to a coworker
13:30 Joubu      raiseerror is set, so the select raise an error and stop the updadb script
13:30 fridolin   the drop of the table is once in updatedatabase
13:29 fridolin   Joubu: what do you mean by "it got backported from 3.16 to 3.14 - so it's there twice" ?
13:27 Joubu      7372
13:27 fridolin   i do not see the Bug number. which is it ? Joubu cait
13:21 fridolin   ouch
13:16 Joubu      http://irc.koha-community.org/koha/2014-09-11#i_1567078
13:16 fridolin   where do I find it ? cait
13:15 fridolin   heuu
13:15 Joubu      fridolin: have a look at the backlog
13:15 fridolin   cait: you look for me ?
13:15 fridolin   sorry I come not every day, we have problems with this chan when using our VPN
13:14 fridolin   hie all
13:12 cait       checking for existance of the table int he second database update
13:11 cait       master and 3.16
13:11 cait       but you are right, now we need to fix it from top to bottom
13:11 Joubu      Frido is coming
13:11 cait       I know :)
13:11 Joubu      I am not 3.14 RM :)
13:10 Joubu      cait: the change should be done on master, not 3.14
13:10 cait       i think ideally this shoudl not have been in 3.14 - it's mostly clean up and not fixing a bug
13:10 cait       everything with a database update is potentially causing problems
13:10 cait       hm i think maybe something to keep in mind as rmaint
13:08 Joubu      whaou, something to think for the QA step!
13:08 Joubu      cait: ok I see
13:07 oleonard   I checked out tags/v3.14.09
13:07 cait       Joubu: the problem is that it got backported from 3.16 to 3.14 - so it's there twice
13:06 Joubu      oleonard: do you know why the table didn't exist? From where come your "earlier version"?
13:06 Joubu      oleonard: arg, yes
13:05 oleonard   Joubu: The problem is that the db error prevented me from completing the upgrade process. I got stuck in a loop.
13:04 oleonard   Joubu: Here's how I ran into it: I dropped my database and checked out an earlier version to test something. Then I checked out master and updated that database
13:03 Joubu      oleonard: actually the updatedb entry removes the table. So I am not sure there is a problem if it didn't exist before.
13:01 oleonard   Is there a bug for that?
13:01 oleonard   I know someone has mentioned before the upgrade problem where " Table 'koha.roadtype' doesn't exist"
12:08 huginn     jcamins: The operation succeeded.
12:08 jcamins    @later tell dcook No, pseudonyms are never put in the 7xx field in bib records.

08:32 indradg    change the location code?
08:32 indradg    cait, Joubu : how to do you guys handle it when a part of the inventory is off-access - say out for physical restoration or binding or pest control purposes?
08:30 cait       morning ashimema :)
08:30 cait       Joubu: actually we have a library that would be happy about it I think - I need to learn more about how it works with your patch
08:29 cait       Joubu: see t positive - the feature is not in question, just the name :)
08:29 ashimema   Morning all
08:28 Joubu      indradg: I am with all propositions :) Could you please propose on the ML or bug report? I don't think it should me to decide.
08:27 indradg    Joubu: how about "in-library" or "intra-library" use? keeps it 'in the library' but doesn't necessary restrict it to a specific area within the library?
08:04 huginn     Joubu: The operation succeeded.
08:04 Joubu      @later tell pianohacker Hi! Are you working on an interface to configure cronjobs via the staff interface? (see bug 8337 last comments)
07:57 matts      guten Morgen cait !
07:56 cait       bonjour matts :)
07:56 wahanui    bonjour, matts
07:56 matts      hello
07:29 Joubu      hello
06:54 alex_a     bonjour
06:39 reiveune   hello
05:47 * cait     waves
05:47 indradg    hi cait :)
05:32 mtj        ooh, that looks useful  ^^
05:28 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10860 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Needs Signoff , In-House Use
05:28 indradg    somewhat like bug 10860
05:28 indradg    these are items in limbo for a time.... not properly property of the library, but yet has to be accounted for and subjected to restricted circulation
05:27 mtj        ah ok, i got it indradg
05:26 indradg    three things can happen: a) the "approved test copies" become "gift" and accessioned likewise, the rest returned or b) all are accessioned as "gift copies" c) in very rare case all are returned back
05:24 indradg    and should it receive their approval order is placed
05:24 indradg    these "test copies" are then actually circulated among the faculty
05:23 mtj        ok
05:23 indradg    not a govt requirement but very widely practised
05:23 mtj        aah, 'approval basis' is an indian govt requirement?
05:23 indradg    publishers / distributors will come in about 6 months before a new school year and dump out a load of their new inventory.
05:22 indradg    for example we have an acquisition system that is called "approval basis" that Koha does not yet support.
05:21 indradg    there are a few india specific requirements that won't get into Koha, unless people actually code it up.
05:20 mtj        ok ok... seems like you are doing just fine :)
05:18 indradg    just trying to cut my teeth on the coding guidelines... never coded in perl before... learning up
05:18 mtj        i dont think i had ever seen it, before your patches
05:17 indradg    thank you mtj
05:17 mtj        hey indradg, great work on the jquery.ime stuff too
05:16 mtj        yeah, i understand indradg
05:12 indradg    :P
05:12 indradg    everyone who claims to be an expert claims to have migrated data over to Koha. but no cogent HOWTO has ever emerged in all these years.
05:11 mtj        ah ok, i have not heard much about libsys myself (from NZ)
05:10 indradg    libsys is the bug bear of Indian libraries
05:10 indradg    quite possible
05:09 mtj        .. and not direct to chris )
05:08 mtj        indradg:  i think email was to koha-owner@lists.katipo.co.nz
05:08 indradg    morning mtj
05:08 mtj        hiya indradg
05:06 indradg    rangi: pdelnet@gmail mailed that you direct?
05:00 indradg    morning #koha
02:45 wizzyrea   it's the downfall of many projects: getting stuck trying to make voltron.
02:42 dcook      lol
02:42 wahanui    I got stuck trying to make voltron.
02:42 eythian    wahanui: huginn: assemble!
02:41 dcook      I also wish I had a robot army :D
02:40 tcohen     :-D
02:39 dcook      tcohen: I always wish I had 8 hours more in a day
02:38 * tcohen   wishes he had 3 more hours a day
02:31 wizzyrea   hi tcohen
02:30 rangi      hi tcohen
02:30 tcohen     hi
02:28 wizzyrea   kek
02:28 eythian    I think he got scared away by the robot army
02:28 wizzyrea   the default is that it runs every hour
02:27 wizzyrea   Dan_ the hold queue does some trickery matching up borrowers to items
01:34 dac        O_o
01:08 Dan_       I see, I suppose of some trolling
01:07 wahanui    Dan_: Change in Earth's rotational speed
01:07 huginn     Dan_: My excuse for today is "capitalism"
01:07 Dan_       huginn: excuse me, what is RDA?
01:06 huginn     Dan_: I'll give you the answer just as soon as RDA is ready
01:06 Dan_       @eythian thank you
01:03 eythian    (that's how I remember it, anyway.)
01:03 eythian    I think it can be an expensive process to calculate the queue, so it's done once a day and loaded into there.
01:00 Dan_       hello people. just a question: what is the reason of tmp_holdsqueue? why not just reading directly from reserves?
