| 11:00 | hdl | (or may have one) |
| 11:00 | Lea | ok, what is the preferred method for importing this data? |
| 11:01 | hdl | First : get the fields that contains items and store them aside. |
| 11:01 | Delete them from biblios | |
| 11:01 | 2nd : create biblios using NEWnewbiblio | |
| 11:02 | Lea | hdl: wait |
| 11:02 | hdl | This will provide you with bibid |
| 11:02 | or biblionumber | |
| 11:02 | Lea | I was going to clean up the data and import the biblios using the import perl script |
| 11:02 | *provided in koha | |
| 11:03 | Will what you are suggesting work with that? | |
| 11:03 | hdl | 3rd : create new records which contains only the item field and create item linked to bibid. |
| 11:04 | Lea | so would you suggest doing this on the database level? |
| 11:04 | hdl | import perl script provide biblios in BREEDING farm, not in catalogue. Is that what you need ? |
| 11:06 | Lea | well, i'm not too sure. I'm an amateur at library systems. I was thinking that I'd import all the data into the resovoir then somehow import the item data afterwards? I don't know what the best strategy would be. All i know is i have 1 MARC record per item currently. I can strip this down to unique items then strip out only the biblio data we need, export to marc then import into koha using bulkimport. |
| 11:13 | it's then importing the item data that's tricky. Unless I'm missing something here | |
| 11:37 | hdl | Lea : holding information are supposedly (in Koha) in one field. |
| 11:39 | If you can take those information apart with a foreach my $field($marc->field($tagitem)){push @items,$field; $marc->delete_field($field)} | |
| 11:39 | It should be a good way to do. | |
| 11:56 | Lea | cool. I'm not too sure I fully understand right now but I'm sure it'll get clearer |
| 13:44 | gwheeland | anyone alive in here? |
| 13:44 | kados | gwheeland: hi |
| 13:44 | dewey | hello, kados |

| 13:45 | gwheeland: or sarge? | |
| 13:45 | gwheeland | sarge |
| 13:45 | kados | gwheeland: I wrote the install manual for sarge |
| 13:45 | gwheeland | well then you are the person i should talk to i guess |

| 13:46 | gwheeland | that is the site im looking at |
| 13:46 | i can't get debian to use the 2.4 kernel | |
| 13:46 | kados | use 2.6 |
| 13:47 | gwheeland | oh |

| 13:49 | gwheeland | well i tried bf26 and it says could not find kernel image |
| 13:49 | kados | are you using a netboot installer? |
| 13:49 | gwheeland | i am using the netinstall iso |
| 13:50 | kados | try some of the built in menus |
| 13:50 | F1 shoudl give you an overview | |
| 13:50 | linux26 | |
| 13:50 | might be the way to do it now | |
| 13:50 | I can't remmeber, it's been a while | |
| 13:51 | gwheeland | yea it was linux26 |
| 13:51 | kados | sweet |
| 13:51 | gwheeland | anything else i should know about before i continue with the install? |
| 13:52 | kados | don't think so |
| 13:52 | gwheeland | i am, at best, O.K. with linux |
| 13:52 | kados | bbl |
| 13:52 | gwheeland | bye, thanks again |
| 15:40 | hey kados you there? | |
| 15:42 | can anyone else help with the debian install of koha, specifically with the YAZ toolkit | |
| 15:43 | rch | hi gwheeland |
| 15:43 | what's up? | |
| 15:43 | you have sarge installed? | |
| 15:45 | gwheeland | yes |
| 15:46 | i am going through the steps on the install guide, and i am stuck at the yaz toolkit step | |
| 15:48 | rch | do you have the gpg keys for indexdata? |
| 15:48 | is that the error you get? | |
| 15:48 | gwheeland | i am getting the error"broken packages" |
| 15:49 | and before that it says "the following packages have unmet dependencies | |
| 15:51 | rch | which packages? |
| 15:52 | gwheeland | libyaz libxslt1-dev, and libwrap0-dev |
| 15:53 | by the way my name is Greg and thanks for helping me out | |
| 15:53 | rch | hi greg - I'm Ryan |
| 15:53 | i like aptitude for managing dependency problems | |
| 15:53 | gwheeland | ok i think you just lost me |
| 15:54 | rch | aptitude is a text gui for package management. |
| 15:54 | gwheeland | is that the "apt" part of apt-get install ****** |
| 15:54 | rch | it'll show you broken packages and dependency problems. |
| 15:54 | aptitude is /sort of/ a front-end to apt-get | |
| 15:55 | gwheeland | oh |
| 15:55 | should i install it? | |
| 15:55 | rch | or try apt-get install libxslt1-dev |
| 15:55 | and see what error you get. | |
| 15:56 | gwheeland | "package libxslt1-dev has no installation candidate" |
| 15:57 | rch | hm. you did an 'apt-get update' ? |
| 15:57 | gwheeland | i did go into /etc/apt/sources.list and changed them to the indexdata ones |
| 15:57 | yea i did | |
| 15:57 | oh wait, i think i just figured out the problem | |
| 15:58 | rch | and you still have the debian targets in source.list? |
| 15:59 | gwheeland | no i think that is the problem |
| 16:00 | rch | yep... that'll do it |
| 16:01 | gwheeland | so ryan you do this for fun or is it you job? |
| 16:02 | rch | I am full time at LibLime - doing primarily Koha installs and support |
| 16:03 | gwheeland | oh wow, so you really know what you are doing then |
| 16:03 | by the way it is dl'ing libyaz-dev right now | |
| 16:03 | rch | but i do it for fun too :) |
| 16:03 | great | |
| 16:03 | gwheeland | unix for fun... ughhhh |
| 16:04 | rch | you are with a library? |
| 16:04 | gwheeland | yes |
| 16:05 | rch | in the US? what type of lib? |
| 16:06 | gwheeland | yes in the US, we are a public library in Delaware County Ohio |
| 16:08 | rch | ah, not too far from us. just north of columbus? |
| 16:09 | gwheeland | yes |
| 16:09 | where are you located? | |
| 16:10 | rch | we're in Athens |
| 16:10 | gwheeland | oh are you part of nelsonville? |
| 16:11 | owen | No, but they're contracted with us. |
| 16:11 | gwheeland | oh |
| 16:11 | rch | (hi, owen) |
| 16:11 | gwheeland | so you guys work for liblime which is in athens? |
| 16:12 | owen | The Nelsonville Public Library is a county-wide library system which includes the city of Athens. |
| 16:12 | Liblime does Koha support for us | |
| 16:13 | gwheeland | oh, so Owen you work for nelsonville? and rch works for liblime? |
| 16:13 | owen | Joshua Ferraro, the founder of Liblime, started out working for Nelsonville. |
| 16:13 | gwheeland, yes | |
| 16:13 | gwheeland | ok i have a stupid question now |
| 16:14 | im on the "install MARC::Record module" part of this | |
| 16:14 | do i have to type in the cvs -z3 commands? | |
| 16:15 | rch | gwheeland: marc::record was very recently updated on cpan, |
| 16:16 | so you can just install from there... we'll need to update the install page. | |
| 16:16 | gwheeland | so what do i need to do to install the marc record module? |
| 16:16 | rch | perl -MCPAN -e 'install MARC::Record' |
| 16:18 | gwheeland | thank you again, that worked |
| 16:19 | so ryan where are you located? | |
| 16:23 | nvm i see you already answered that | |
| 16:26 | rch | :) |
| 16:26 | gwheeland | are you guys close to Ohio U? |
| 16:26 | rch | about 200 yards or so :) |
| 16:27 | gwheeland | haha |
| 16:27 | i have a friend that goes there | |
| 16:27 | do you guys sell a turn key system for KOHA? | |
| 16:30 | do i still want to install mysql 4.1 or should i go with 5.0? | |
| 16:30 | rch | i'd stick with 4.1 atm |
| 16:31 | gwheeland | ok cool |
| 16:37 | rch | gwheeland: so what led you to koha? |
| 16:38 | gwheeland | we are currently with III and nobody around here seems to like them, and it cost ALOT of money |
| 16:39 | so i figured i would try out KOHA and see how it works | |
| 16:39 | rch | what's your collection size? |
| 16:40 | gwheeland | haha, i don't know, i will have to go and ask one of the librarians |
| 16:45 | ok so i got apache installed, now what, it says to install koha, but i have no clue on how to do that | |
| 16:46 | and i can't find any documation on that | |
| 16:47 | rch | ah yes- the install guide ends where you start installing koha :) |
| 16:47 | gwheeland | haha |
| 16:47 | is that where liblime comes in? | |
| 16:47 | rch | :) |
| 16:48 | when you download the koha package, you 'll follow instructions in the README file | |
| 16:48 | gwheeland | oh that's right, i forgot about the tar file |
| 16:48 | rch | or INSTALL, actually |
| 17:22 | gwheeland | is there a way to download koha using debian? or is it just easier to download it on a windows computer and burn it to cd |
| 17:28 | rch | wget http://download.savannah.nongn[…]koha-2.2.7.tar.gz |
| 17:30 | gwheeland | thank |
| 17:30 | s | |
