Time Nick Message 02:07 mtj hey #koha, do people think it might be a good idea to start to require a mandatory itemtype for an item? 02:08 mtj ..ive spotted a few edgecase bugs for circ and reserves, that assume an item if have an itemtype defined 02:13 mtj how do people feel about this 🔥🔥topic? 02:20 mtj looks like items.itype can be set to mandatory via the fwrks, so thats a fix of sorts 02:24 mtj (i confirm its non-mandatory by default) 03:22 Joubu mtj: bug 21150 03:22 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21150 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Needs Signoff , Data inconsistencies - item types 03:23 Joubu and thread "Expected behaviour if itemtype does not exist" on koha-devel (July 2017) 03:23 Joubu bye 06:37 reiveune hello 07:30 fridolin iji there 07:41 * andreashm waves 07:43 andreashm hi fridolin 07:45 fridolin hi 07:46 ashimema hello 08:00 andreashm we are preparing to upgrade to 17.11 next week. 08:01 andreashm we have been testing 17.11.01 during the end of spring. wondering if the best thing would be to upgrade to .01 or go for the latest release (.08?) instead. 08:01 andreashm any big differences we should consider? 08:02 andreashm (fridolin and other who might know?) 08:02 ashimema personally I think you should choose you're feature branch (i.e 17.05.x, 17.11.x or 18.05.x) based on the features you need/want and then try to keep up with the bugfix releases upon it.. i.e the .01 etc bits. 08:03 fridolin andreashm: yop, no big diff between 17.11.01 and 17.11.08 but some critical fixes 08:03 fridolin I advice you to use the lasted stable release 08:03 ashimema important securit andbugfix patches go into those releases.. but as release maintainers we're careful to not backport features.. we work on 'least surprise' principals.. a point release shouldn't surprise you 08:04 fridolin we at biblibre use the 17.11.06 its quite stable 08:04 ashimema it should just fix stuff that's broken 08:04 fridolin and also translations are better an better ;) 08:04 andreashm alright, we'll look extra at that one! 08:04 ashimema :) 08:04 andreashm thanks ashimema, fridolin! 08:04 fridolin andreashm: but why not jump to 18.05.x ? its nice and you may use ElasticSearch 08:05 ashimema no problem.. you happened to have probably the two best people at present to answer that question lurking here right now ;) 08:05 andreashm ashimema: we've decided for 17.11. Just wanted to make sure we go for a stable bugfix release. =) 08:05 * ashimema would actually recommend sticking to 17.11 unless there's something specific you want in 18.05 08:05 andreashm fridolin: we want to test properly first. we've done that with 17.11. if we go for 18.05 we have to start over. 08:05 ashimema I think although 18.05.x is a nice release, it's still got a bit of settling down to do.. 08:06 andreashm (we have some heavy use of api:s, that change a lot between releases etc) 08:06 ashimema gut feeling from how many bugfixes I'm still pushing ;) 08:06 andreashm hehe 08:07 fridolin okiii, we jump only from xx.11 to yy.11 so we also will wait for 18.11.x 08:07 andreashm we have 16.05 now. So still a big jump to 17.11 08:08 fridolin andreashm: ah we have also some own api code, we work on test suite to be more efficient on testing compatiblity with Koha code 08:08 * ashimema wishes his customer base wasn't so spread out.. we have customers on a realyl wide range of releases at the moment. 08:09 fridolin andreashm: oki, so in conclusion my personal advice is to jump to 17.11.06 08:09 andreashm fridolin: that sounds interesting. we have discussed creating a similar test suite to be able to create a better/quicker upgrade process. 08:09 fridolin our next setp is 17.11.10 in octobre 08:09 andreashm fridolin: thanks a lot! 08:09 fridolin you welcome ;) 08:10 andreashm ashimema: yeah, I guess that's a problem when customers can decide for themselves when to upgrade? =) 08:10 fridolin release maintainer is also community maintainer :D 08:11 andreashm fridolin: the perfect combo 08:11 fridolin ^^ 08:15 ashimema I think at this point it's just that we have never managed to get on top of upgrades.. sales always want to install at the very latest and greatest.. some customers want to upgrade, others do not.. but the really big issue is how hard our upgrades are.. most customers have a ton of customisation or pre-release enhancements bolted on.. which makes each upgrade a non-trivial task :( 08:16 ashimema we'll get there in the end I'm sure.. and at present it's us that feels the pain rather than customers really.. they get upgrades pretty frequently really.. just a bit of a spread to support 08:16 * ashimema hopes he can push for a hold on 18.05.x whilst he's community maintainer.. get our entire customer base onto it over the next year or so. 08:17 andreashm ashimema: I sympathize. We have the exact same issue (lots of local patches) that makes upgrading difficult. 08:18 ashimema indeed 08:18 ashimema always fun 08:18 ashimema a library I've heard of andreashm? 08:19 andreashm ashimema: ours? I would hope so. Stockholm Univ Library 08:20 * calire waves 08:20 * andreashm waves back 08:20 ashimema of course.. i thought you'r nick rang a bell ;) 08:20 calire :) 08:22 andreashm ashimema: =9 08:22 andreashm =) I meant. 08:22 ashimema hehe 08:22 tuxayo ashimema[m] «most customers have a ton of customisation or pre-release enhancements bolted on» 08:22 tuxayo I guess automating part of the process is very difficult for also right? 08:22 ashimema no doubt we'll meet in 2019 kohacon 08:22 tuxayo *for you alos 08:23 tuxayo **also 08:23 tuxayo >< 08:23 ashimema some is automated, some is not ;) 08:23 ashimema I don't know the solution to be honest.. everyone here likes customisation to the hilt 08:25 * ashimema just looked at the number of upgrade in the queue and scared himself.. that's not my area anymore.. I managed to make the case for new staff for it a few years back and have never really looked back.. managing the dev team, doing development and getting back on top of my community roles is more than enough work for one person ;) 08:27 ashimema 'tis nice being back in community though.. I've missed it the past couple of years. 08:27 tuxayo <3 08:31 andreashm ashimema: yup! had hope to meet you at kohacon this year, but saw that you weren't attending. but next year for sure! 08:31 ashimema too many family commitments this year unfortunately.. can't make them all I suppose.. I did a fair few early on but it's been more sporadic of late 08:32 * calire is looking forward to kohacon 08:32 * andreashm too 08:38 ashimema having looked at the schedule, this one does look a particularly good and interesting one. 08:40 * andreashm is looking forward to meeting a lot of people from the community in person. 08:46 * calire too 08:46 calire well I've met some :) but more 08:47 andreashm calire: same here =) 09:29 * magnuse wishes he could go to kohacon18, but will ne in marseille and has high hopes for kohacon19 in sweden 09:29 magnuse (if marseille will have us again) 09:30 * ashimema wonders when marseille is next.. 09:30 * ashimema hopes to attend that 10:28 tcohen @later tell Joubu https://old.diglib.org/architectures/ilsdi/DLF_ILS_Discovery_1.0.pdf 10:28 huginn tcohen: The operation succeeded. 11:42 oleonard-away Hello 11:42 andreashm hi oleonard 11:43 calire hi oleonard 11:43 calire wahanui? 11:44 eythian hi oleopard 11:44 calire nice save eythian 11:45 eythian they'll remember my support when the robots take over the world. 11:45 calire :) 11:50 eythian huginn: I expect you to pass this along 11:50 huginn eythian: I suck 11:50 eythian damnit 11:52 calire poor huginn 11:56 oleonard calire: His self-deprecating demeanor is a ruse to lull us into complacency. 12:02 * calire fell for it 12:04 * oleonard is so complacent right now 12:05 * calire is the most complacent 12:05 * calire hopes the robots are taking note 13:23 oleonard Joubu: Bug 21150 doesn't apply for me.

I was just wondering what that good reason was 18:49 Joubu https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_(9xx) 18:49 Joubu "Koha does not use MARC21 field 852 directly and many proprietary systems seem to use 852 slightly differently so you need to check it anyway." 18:49 Joubu my interpretation would be "it's as it, do not ask more" :D 18:50 caroline hehe! 18:52 tcohen it is probably due to historical issues, and the fact that Koha also supports other MARC flavours 18:54 caroline It's too bad we're out of France's time zone, because I'm pretty sure I remember them telling me they don't use 952 in Koha in UNIMARC 18:55 tcohen indeed 18:59 caroline next meetings? 18:59 caroline next meeting? 18:59 caroline :/ 19:01 oleonard https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_IRC_meeting_8_August_2018 19:01 caroline thx! 19:01 caroline isn't there a command for wahanui ? 19:02 oleonard He can't hear you from the chair on the beach where he is 19:03 caroline good for him!
