04:20 greenmang0 joined #koha
04:20 chris_n2 nobody but us chickens
04:21 chobbs Considering moving our K12 district off our commercial library system to Koha. Looking for war stories, insights, etc from those that have done it before.
04:25 Hmmm. Is there a better time for me to chat with other users?
04:29 chris_n2 chobbs: where are you located?
04:30 chobbs California - obviously too late for most US folks :)
04:31 chris_n2 chobbs: there are quite a few around who have migrated off of proprietary ILSs onto Koha
04:31 I'm sure they would be glad to tell you how it went
04:31 chobbs It's been about 7 years since I last looked at Koha - looks like it's matured a lot.
04:31 chris_n2 you could post to the mailing list as well
04:31 yeah, we're gearing up for the 3.2 release
04:31 chobbs I'll try checking in during the regular (US) work day
04:32 chris_n2 there are some major improvements in it
04:32 chobbs You're one of the devs?
04:32 chris_n2 yup
04:32 chobbs Cool.
04:33 Downloaded Kyle Hall's vm and messing around with it a bit now.
04:34 chris_n2 chobbs: take a look through these list search results: http://old.nabble.com/forum/Se[…]uery=migrate+koha
04:34 I think there may be a few stories there
04:34 chobbs Great, thanks.
04:34 chris_n2 a vm install is probably the quickest/easiest way to check things out
04:34 chobbs Looks like that'll keep me busy reading for a bit.
04:35 chris_n2 feel free to drop in any time here as well
04:36 there are more US folks on earlier in our day
04:44 * chris_n2 heads off to sleep
04:44 chobbs thanks for the tips - later

09:34 chipsy hi uys
09:37 how long will it take cpan to install Net::Server cos mine ran for 24hrs but still at make test
09:39 chilts should be faster than 24hrs
09:39 probably about 23hrs 58mins faster
09:39 try it again :)
09:42 chipsy is this a joke?
09:45 chris 22:45 ~ $ time sudo cpan Net::Server
09:45 real0m23.097s
09:45 user0m8.149s
09:45 sys0m0.992s
09:45 thats how long it took
09:45 under 30 seconds
09:46 RHANDOM/Net-Server-0.97.tar.gz
09:46 /usr/bin/make install -j3 -- OK
09:46 so if its taking more than a few minutes something is definetly wrong

12:55 jwagner g'morning
12:56 chris_n jwagner: did you all get that label search problem figured out?
12:56 jwagner Haven't had a chance to try yet -- it's a little ways down the priority queue.
12:56 I'll let you know what happens.
12:56 chris_n great; yeah, I know about the priority queue :-P
12:57 just let me know if there's anything else I can throw a pair of eyes on for you
12:57 jwagner quote "I want it all and I want it NOW" -- sound familiar?
12:58 chris_n yup
12:58 jdavidb joined #koha
12:58 chris_n or even "I want it yesterday"
12:58 jwagner Yep.  Got some of them on the list too
12:58 chris_n g'morning jdavidb
12:58 jdavidb Happy Friday!  woot!
12:59 kf morning jdavidb and jwagner
12:59 jwagner Guten tag kf
13:06 nengard jdavidb - holy cow!!! I had no idea it was Friday!!
13:06 how sad is that!??
13:06 morning all!
13:07 * jdavidb hands nengard a big mug of hot cocoa.
13:08 jdavidb I had that problem when I worked at home.  'specially since I tend to work at least a little bit seven days a week.  Here, at least, there are the days I work where I don't go to the office, and the days I do.
13:12 nengard yeah - that's pretty much it - I'm always working :)  but I should still know it's Friday which means I get my hubby at home for 2 whole days :) heeh
13:18 seems that a lot of people are using MarcEdit with Koha - it's a shame it's not open source cause then maybe we could write some connectors or something to make it a little bit easier
13:20 Nate joined #koha
13:21 Nate Hello Everyone!
13:21 greenmang0 left #koha
13:22 * chris_n seems to recall schuster suggesting that some sort of z3950 connection could be had between Koha and MarcEdit
13:22 chris_n hi Nate
13:22 Nate hi chris_n
13:23 chris_n nicole: http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Ca[…]ow-p27064660.html
13:29 nengard chris_n - ooo - I need to pick his brain and get some documentation on that for others
13:29 hi Nate
13:30 Nate hi nengard!
13:30 schuster joined #koha
13:30 chris_n speaking of schuster :-)
13:30 nengard schuster did you know we were talking about you???
13:30 hehe
13:30 chris_n hi david
13:31 nengard let's catch schuster up
13:31 [08:18]  <nengard> seems that a lot of people are using MarcEdit with Koha - it's a shame it's not open source cause then maybe we could write some connectors or something to make it a little bit easier

13:31 [08:29]  <nengard> chris_n - ooo - I need to pick his brain and get some documentation on that for others
13:31 So - schuster - got any documentation you can share???
13:31 CGI036 joined #koha
13:31 jdavidb poor schuster.  Walks in the door, and gets waylaid.
13:31 CGI036 is now known as flores
13:32 jwagner give him time to get some caffiene, why don'tcha???
13:33 flores left #koha
13:34 schuster Hey...
13:35 Let me check on a couple of things...  My presentation last year had some documentation with it..  take a look at this for starters
13:35 http://wiki.koha.org/lib/exe/f[…]ceditschuster.pdf
13:37 nengard thanks
13:37 anasha left #koha
13:37 nengard jwagner - no caffine :) if you logged in without it then be ready to be nagged by the documentation manager :) hehe
13:38 schuster hmmm that's not opening for me this morning or it's really big.  Let me dig some more and I'll send you some stuff.  I need to do some further testing with it on the upload aspect does it really index etc...
13:38 nengard schuster it opened for me and it's great
13:38 jwagner nengard, you're such a bully :-(
13:39 nengard aww :(
13:39 jwagner it locked up for me.
13:39 schuster I was able to pull stuff out of my database at the conference and show how it worked a little.  Terry has a new version out this month and it is supposed to be more linyx friendly.
13:39 nengard schuster I think you were speaking at the same time as me so I missed your talk
13:39 schuster Ah that would probably be accurate as you were a very busy person!
13:40 nengard - are you going to be at ALA?
13:40 nengard ALA yes - ALA midwinter no
13:41 I'm speaking at ALA, PLA and SLA this year
13:41 hitting all of the biggies ;)
13:43 chris_n schuster: did you get your PDF::API2 problem worked out?
13:43 schuster No I went to bed after posting my plea. - and as you can see I just got to the office and barely finished a quarter of my first cup of coffee...
13:44 CGI935 joined #koha
13:44 schuster I was just going to say nengard realized it's Friday and how much she wanted to accomplish this week ;)
13:44 I'm that way myself I have several todos that need to get DONE today.
13:44 * chris_n is not one to come between a person and his/her coffee :-)
13:44 nengard :)
13:45 as someone who doesn't do coffee - I don't get the importance :)
13:46 schuster @wunder 75074

13:46 munin schuster: The current temperature in Brookview, Plano, Texas is -9.3�C (7:29 AM CST on January 08, 2010). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 44%. Dew Point: -19.0�C. Windchill: -9.0�C. Pressure: 29.94 in 1013.8 hPa (Rising). Wind Chill Advisory in effect until 10 am CST this morning...
13:46 nengard chris_n -- waking up gets me going ... that's it :)
13:46 chris_n lol
13:46 schuster we texas folk are COLD...  i know it might not mean much to you all, but man I've been out of Minnesota for awhile!
13:46 nengard hehe
13:47 they say that the artic chill should be out of your area next week and in ours
13:47 so hang in there, it's almost over
13:48 well - going to grab some breakfast - be right back
13:51 jwagner Got a bibloading puzzler for you.  One of my sites says that occasionally a MARC import (file downloaded from OCLC Connexion) strips off the 6xx fields.  So far I don't have an actual data file from one of those uploads, just a file of records reassembled after the fact.  It loads fine & all the 6xx fields are there.
13:52 I can't think of any circumstance in which Koha would strip 6xx fields from an import.  Has anyone else ever seen it?
13:53 schuster chris_n - when I do the make clean in that directory I got a make *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop.
13:54 jdavidb @wunder 20852
13:54 munin jdavidb: The current temperature in Flower Valley, Rockville, Maryland is -2.7�C (8:43 AM EST on January 08, 2010). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 78%. Dew Point: -6.0�C. Windchill: -3.0�C. Pressure: 29.56 in 1000.9 hPa (Falling).
13:54 chris_n schuster: np, go ahead and do 'perl Makefile.PL'
13:55 then 'make'
13:55 and 'make test'
13:55 schuster jwagner - is that site stripping based on indicator so that they don't get any non LC type headings?
13:56 jwagner Not that I know of -- nothing on the Koha end, anyway.  They're using a combined match rule I set up but otherwise it's pretty vanilla.
13:56 schuster Thanks chris_n that worked now on to try and fix the otherone the same way..
13:56 chris_n schuster: don't forget to 'make install'... :)
14:00 schuster OK so the XML::LibXSLT 1.59 error with the same type of output what file name would I be looking for to attempt the same thing?
14:01 chris_n check /root/.cpan/build for a subdir with XML-LibXSLT in the name
14:02 cd into that one and do 'perl Makefile.PL' et al
14:08 brendan morning all
14:08 chris_n heya brendan
14:08 brendan look's like I've got a little bit of "scroll-back" to go through this morning.  :)
14:11 schuster ok so the well phoey - I'm getting cant find -lgdbm and can't put that computer on the network so will have to wait until I get home over the weekend to attempt to fix that piece.
14:12 CGI935 left #koha
14:13 schuster Looking back over my notes it says to do the /kohaclone/misc/sax_parser_print.pl and you should see XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)
14:13 chris_n schuster: be sure to install the dev libraries for libgdbm
14:14 schuster if you don't it says looks bad check Install documentation - well I end up with XML::SAX::Expat=HASH(0xa0b1588)
14:14 chris_n libgdbm-dev
14:14 schuster that is just a sudo apt-get libgdbm-dev correct?
14:14 chris_n right
14:15 schuster This sax parser thing always gets me in trouble...
14:15 chris_n the other is the default parser "problem"
14:16 schuster so if I get the XML-LibXSLT piece fixed are you saying it will fix the sax parser error?
14:16 chris_n not necessarily
14:17 there is an ini file somewhere that sets that up iirc
14:19 schuster: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]tchpad#sax_parser
14:19 schuster Ah yes found the ini file so I just comment out the lines I don't want?
14:19 YEAH that fixed that!!!
14:20 pastebot "chris_n" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "ParserDetails.ini" (7 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/105
14:20 chris_n schuster: ^^
14:20 there's mine
14:20 fwiw
14:21 schuster Ok now I have a couple of other questions for the group...  How can you tell if Pazpar is setup on an existing system?
14:21 * chris_n is in the dark on that one
14:23 schuster I also like the idea of the Memoize - but it requires a ??? server??? is there information someplace about that in setting one up or???  What are others doing about it?
14:27 OK hopefully getting that libgdm-dev installed this weekend will fix my problem.  Thanks again chris_n...  I owe you...
14:28 chris_n schuster: Memoize can be run on the same server as Koha afaik
14:29 that is chris c's baby
14:29 so you might question him about getting it set up
14:29 schuster yeah I've seen that in the IRC hmmm...  have to chat with him later about it.
14:29 chris_n it sounds very cool, though and will allow some neat things to be done which cannot atm
14:30 schuster yeah that's what has me wondering about a couple of things based on what I have read so far.

16:28 git://github.com/cnighswonger/koha-wip.git
16:28 brendan ah ok thanks :)
16:29 nengard chris_n - now we just need some docs :)
16:29 chris_n still one or two cosmetic things to be done, but it is pretty much as it will be
16:30 except for the docs, that is ;-)
16:30 nengard: I have to figure out how it works first :-D
16:30 nengard oh don't tell us that
16:30 you wrote something and don't know how it works?? :)
16:31 brendan heh

19:45 the maintainer has accepted the changes, but has yet to role a new release
19:45 brendan ok - thanks
