00:08 chris ah chris_n ... you will never escape from the spine lables
00:10 * chris_n looks
00:11 never likes to take credit for another person's work
00:12 chris :)
00:12 chris_n hmmm... kyle did the quick spine label
00:12 chris ahh might like to reply and say that
00:13 poor daniel, i suspect he is pretty much screwed
00:13 * chris_n crafts a response...
00:15 masonj i recall a one-line regex to remove those blank lines..
00:18 chris i love dh-make-perl --cpan
00:27 Dubz joined #koha
00:28 owen-away joined #koha
00:29 Dubz left #koha
00:29 owen-away Did I hear that correctly? LibLime is refusing to provide support for a LEK feature?
00:29 owen-away is now known as owen
00:29 brendan fly-by owen
00:30 chris you heard correctly
00:30 they phrased it unable ... but it realy means unwilling
00:31 owen How could they even justify "unable?!"
00:31 chris cos they have no developers?
00:32 there really are 2 options
00:32 1/ they dont have the skills to provide support they are paid to provide
00:33 2/ they dont have the desire to provide support they are paid to provide
00:33 both suck
00:33 CGI008 joined #koha
00:34 owen I'm surprised they would even come out and say, "you know, we're just not going to support that feature."
00:34 What a big "screw you"
00:34 chris thats their standard line for anything not written in house
00:34 * owen is astonished how far things have come
00:34 chris yeah its pretty mind boggling
00:34 brendan *nods*
00:37 owen These folks coming to the Koha list, whether they're LEK or Koha Express, how can any solution offered by the list even be of use to them? They don't have the power to apply any fixes.
00:37 chris yeah thats the hard part, there isnt anything we can do
00:38 brendan except tell them that is fixed and he's the code
00:38 chris yeah
00:38 brendan s/he's/here's
00:39 owen In the end offering the solution helps us more (in good will) than it helps them (practically speaking)
00:39 chris *nod*
00:39 brendan ditto
00:40 * chris_n goes away to cool off for a bit
00:40 brendan hoping that those who find the fix are able to take the next step... whatever that is

00:44 you rock!!!
00:44 brendan hiya nengard
00:46 CGI008 Hi all new to Koha /wave
00:46 chris hi CGI008
00:46 brendan hi CGI008
00:47 CGI008 May I ask a question ; )
00:47 chris yep
00:47 brendan :)
00:47 CGI008 Does Koha have users and group permissions?
00:47 chris has user permissions
00:48 CGI008 As in a way to hide the Delete funtion I keep seeing all over the place
00:48 * imp still wonders if he should fill a bugreport for this or not -> http://pastebin.ca/1789468
00:48 owen CGI008: Delete bibliographic records?
00:48 brendan for your reference CGI008 --> here's a link to a manual for koha --> http://koha-community.org/docu[…]ation/3-2-manual/
00:49 chris yes if you log in as a user without the cataloguing permission you cant delete bibliographic material
00:51 CGI008 How would you set that type of permission, on a user account?
00:51 chris its all in that manual :)
00:51 2 secs
00:52 brendan http://koha-community.org/docu[…]-manual/?ch=x5118
00:52 CGI008 Ok sorry Noob here /bow
00:52 chris http://koha-community.org/docu[…]-manual/?ch=x5118
00:52 ahh beat me ;)
00:52 no worries, we dont have a good search yet, when we do, finding things like that will be easier in the manual
00:53 brendan this is the best place for noob's
00:53 faster than email - especially when chris is around
00:54 CGI008 Thank you both, Chris and Brendan : )
00:57 Whats the best time to login here?
01:01 owen Almost any time of day, but US business hours cover the end of Europe's day and the beginning of New Zealand's.
01:01 imp CGI008: this channel is really international, so it doesn't matter that much ;)
01:01 owen That gives you a good chance of catching somebody

02:01 schuster_home problem continues...  I'm still having problems getting PDF::API2::Simple to work I keep getting an error
02:01 won't make running test
02:05 CGI008 left #koha
02:08 chris_n schuster_home: what are the errors the tests throw?
02:09 user77 is now known as rhcl_sleeps
02:10 schuster_home http://mibpaste.com/oC4zag
02:11 chris_n hmm... nothing there?
02:12 schuster_home http://mibpaste.com/Ug5vpM - sorry I always mess that up
02:12 chris_n try this
02:12 cd /root/.cpan/build/PDF-API2-Simple-1.1.4-GmvWkM
02:13 schuster_home I tried to download the file and extract it, but it won't extract from the download.
02:13 chris_n then 'make test'
02:13 schuster_home ok
02:13 make: *** No rule to make target `test'.  Stop.
02:13 masonj doesnt install for me either, on lenny..
02:13 chris_n ok
02:13 schuster_home that's what I have...
02:14 chris_n 'perl Makefile.PL'
02:14 then 'make'
02:14 then 'make test'
02:14 schuster_home Can't locate inc/Module/Install.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 1.
02:15 chris_n wierdness indeed
02:15 schuster_home masonj - thanks for making me feel not so stupid!
02:16 chris_n well, you can 'cd ~' and then try 'cpan Module::Install'
02:16 masonj w00t, success ;)
02:17 i had to do a ' 'cpan Module::Install' too...
02:17 * chris_n thought Module::Install was core...
02:18 masonj http://pastebin.com/m438253de
02:18 yeah, pass
02:19 and this too ' cpan  Archive::Tar '
02:19 schuster_home ok will try anything once or twice... ;)
02:20 masonj then,   rm -rf /var/spool/cpan/build/PDF-API2-Simple*
02:20 then,   cpan  PDF::API2::Simple
02:20 chris_n could it be that your cpan was not setup to auto follow deps?
02:22 masonj my box prompts for deps, and wasnt fetching  Module::Install
02:22 i had to get it manually, not sure why
02:24 chris_n it turns out that Module::Install is not core, but I don't remember having to fetch it before
02:27 masonj yep, me too :)
02:28 yet cpan kinda assumes it should be installed by default
02:29 and doesnt fetch it as a dep
02:29 which is a bit of a fail, i guess
02:30 schuster_home running an OLD laptop so things are a bit slower here...  thanks for the clues.
03:04 chris_n g'night #koha

04:22 Genji hiya all. is there a way to do two zebra queries, and combine the results, then pass it to the results display system, so the offet works correctly?
04:32 Amit heya mason, genji
04:33 Genji hey Amit.. you have any idea?
04:34 Amit Genji: i can't get u ur question
04:35 Genji is there a way to do two zebra queries, and combine the results, then pass it to the results display system, so the offet works correctly? i notice getRecords can get more than one search done, but it shoves the results into seperate rows of the results array.
04:36 i want to run two zebra queries, and have them both shoved into the same results.

08:07 chris sure can
08:07 Genji Cool.
08:07 chris more ppl that have it, less likely we are to end up with no one having it
08:07 Genji okay, nows a good time to ask an esoteric question?
08:08 chris go for it

08:09 Genji i want to run two zebra queries, and have them both shoved into the same results arrayhash. the current implementation of getRecords can do seperate server iterations, doing more than  one search at a time. but  it  puts each resultset in its own element of the resultarray hash. i want the two zebra queries combined into one resultshash, so the ofsetting subroutine can offset correctly.
08:10 chris yeah, you are gonna have to write some code to combine those 2
08:11 or, use pazpar2
08:11 masonj Genji: fyi cgi::irc encodes your IP address in its user-string, so its not really anonymous
08:12 si righto, can somebody test that CGI now
08:12 should be blocked at the iptables level now
08:12 * chris tries
08:12 si actually, no it won't
08:12 * si slaps forehead
08:12 si test it anyway, it'll be a good baseline
08:13 chris yeah, connected to the server, the ban stopped it joining the channel
08:13 Genji i figure im going to have to, but what values in the hash are independant of the actual results, that i have to account for the combining process? 'hits' is one correct?
08:13 chris Genji: checkout pazGetRecords
08:13 Genji is there any other?
08:13 chris in C4::Search.pm
08:14 *** - Welcome to irc.katipo.co.nz
08:14 *** End of /MOTD command.
08:14 *** #koha Cannot join channel (+b)
08:14 si yup
08:14 I'd added a rule to allow irc
08:14 but not one to block from that IP
08:14 try it now
08:14 chris righto
08:14 yeah that got it
08:15 sweet thanks si
08:15 si no problemo
08:15 have a good meeting, all
08:15 chris ta
08:15 Genji chris: is 'hits' the only value outside of the actual result set?
08:15 magnus joined #koha
08:16 chris no idea, ive never actually used it
08:16 Genji hmm.. never dug into the workings of getRecords?
08:16 chris only enough to want to burn it and rewrite it
08:17 Genji hha
08:17 chris (which we will do for 3.4)
08:17 Genji haha.. fantastic.
08:18 hmm.. how come we don't have a bot inside #koha that will keep the ops, if all the current ops leave, or become inactive/
08:18 ?
08:18 imp just don't leave ;)
08:18 russ joined #koha
08:19 chris Genji: invariably the bot falls off too
08:19 * Genji hrms.... "think i'll set up a ncurses irc client on my work devel box.. and shove it in a screen process.. yup.. that'll work.
08:19 chris the trick is just to have enough ppl in different parts of the world so that they dont all fall off at the same time :)
08:20 Genji how is it that we don't have an op bot intergrated serverside?
08:20 chris cos thats a pita
08:20 Genji pita?
08:20 chris pain in the a
08:21 Genji ah.
08:21 imp maybe someone can restore the topic? :)
08:21 chris the only time we ever get trouble is from lame kids using the cgi-irc script
08:21 Genji ya.. sure..
08:21 chris which is now blocked at ip level
08:21 so we should be ok again
08:21 Topic for #koha is now Discussion channel for the Koha ILS | Next general IRC meeting at 11:00 UTC on 9 Feb 2010
08:22 imp :)
08:22 Genji yay! my name at the top of the channel, when anyone comes in.
08:22 chris heh
08:23 Genji okay, back soon. coffee...
08:23 imp nope, chris is the first here ;)
08:23 nod_ joined #koha
08:25 chris when you join you will see the topic and it will say "set by Genji"
08:27 imp thought about the /names ;)
08:40 Genji so.. im doing something so.. esoteric, that its unlikely anyone knows how to do it?
08:41 chris no one has tried to do it before
08:41 paul_p joined #koha
08:41 chris but the way to do it is by using pazpar2
08:42 which is a federated search tool (ie to be used to search multiple targets)
08:42 Genji and then it can be handed to search.pl for ofsetting?
08:43 chris yep
08:43 Genji hmmmmm...
08:44 * rach just realises she missed a meeting today - sorry chris
08:44 chris pazpar2 can do things like remove duplicates, and relevance rank etc
08:44 nope wasnt today rach
08:44 Genji hey rach!
08:44 chris its next week :)
08:44 rach ah well that's alright then :-)
08:44 Genji good seeing you alive!
08:44 bigbrovar joined #koha
08:44 chris midnight tonight is a general irc meeting, but next tuesday morning is the kohacon one
08:45 rach not dead yet - just feel like it some mornings :-)
08:45 Genji well. with a meeting at midnight, who wouldnt...
08:45 richard left #koha
08:47 rach my baby has stoped her very civil 5 hrs sleep, feed, 5 hrs sleep routine
08:47 and gone back to waking every 3-4 hours which is much less civil
08:47 and sometimes is awake for 1.5-2 hrs @ about 3am
08:48 * rach could probably make a meeting then :-)
08:48 rach so I tend to be a bit dozy in the mornings
08:48 Genji oh... congrats.. i think...
08:50 rach :-)
08:50 Amit heya rach

08:52 Genji pazpar2 uses zebra?
08:54 chris pazpar2 uses pazpar2
08:55 http://www.indexdata.com/pazpar2
08:55 Genji how does pazpar2 get the koha data?
08:56 chris you tell it what targets to search
08:57 Genji ahh .. connects to zebra via z39.50.
08:57 * rach heads off to work on her sleep dep problem

11:16 I'm aware of the circulation sounds, to be in 3.2 by popular demand, which Darrell is working on
11:17 thd yes but I have been in great pain
11:17 gmcharlt thd: sorry to here that
11:17 *hear
11:17 is a MARC21 framework update in the offing?
11:18 thd yes but I need some days to work on that
11:18 greenmang0 joined #koha
11:18 nengard gmcharlt i was wondering if bug 1997 could make it into 3.2
11:18 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=1997 enhancement, P3, ---, nengard@gmail.com, NEW, sys pref to Edit no results found page
11:18 thd I have lost  much of the past three weeks to back pain
11:18 nengard :(
11:19 thd I have now seen a doctor but I have much to catch up to
11:19 gmcharlt nengard: probably not - I see no submitted patch for that
11:19 nengard gmcharlt - i meant i know what i want to do and could write it today - but didn't cause of the freeze
11:19 sorry
11:19 still asleep - if i submit a patch today would that work - or should i wait
11:20 gmcharlt you can do it, but it will get put in future - I'm trying to keep new features down to just what I've mentioned in my koha-devel posting + circ sounds
11:20 nengard makes sense
11:20 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: I have some bugfix patches I should resend.
11:21 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: please do - I wasn't sure of the resolution of the 17 and 3 patches you sent on 2/5
11:21 masonj i have some recent fixes to the report-scheduler, its currently busted, i think
11:21 chris_n gmcharlt: there may be some futher tweaks to the patron card and label tools, but nothing major here
11:21 gmcharlt as a reminder, there's a general bugsquashing tomorrow
11:22 greenmang0 left #koha
11:23 masonj roger that
11:23 gmcharlt some of the blockers appear to be pretty straightforward, so I think we can get many of them fixed tomorrow
11:24 also, I reiterate nengard's call to comb through your bugs and close everything that has been resolved
11:24 at this rate, I think we have a decent chance of achieving beta around 3/1
11:24 nengard there were a lot of bugs that didn't have a patch sent status that had patches - so please make sure you keep your bugs up to date
11:24 chris_n nengard++ #for bug wrangling
11:25 gmcharlt nengard++
11:25 hdl_laptop nengard++
11:25 gmcharlt so .... any questions about 3.2?
11:25 jwagner If beta around 3/1, what's the target for release?
11:26 thd jwagner: after you submit patches for all remaining bugs :0
11:26 slef One slightly OT question: please can we use ISO dates YYYY-MM-DD instead of the confusing national forms?
11:27 hdl_laptop slef: for what ?
11:27 gmcharlt pending no surprising big blockers and good progress by the translaters, mid-to-end of March
11:27 slef hdl_laptop: discussion of release dates.
11:28 * gmcharlt reveals that 3/1 = 3 January 2010 -- not!
11:28 gmcharlt any other questions for 3.2?
11:28 hdl_laptop 1st, March
11:28 nengard if there are no other 3.2 questions then on to #2 - Update on Koha 3.0 Roadmap - from hdl_laptop
11:28 slef yes, that one is obvious although slower to read, but not all are like that
11:29 gmcharlt yes, hdl_laptop, please go ahead
11:29 hdl_laptop well, I should release 3.0.6 quite soon.
11:30 We just discovered some embarassing bugs that we are coping. And they are quite serious.
11:30 So would be released next week.
11:31 slef hdl_laptop: bug numbers?
11:31 hdl_laptop 4116
11:31 for instance.
11:31 chris_n bug 4116
11:31 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4116 critical, P5, ---, henridamien@koha-fr.org, NEW, results from cataloging search is different from advanced search results
11:32 slef so are they all rel_3_0 and critical or higher?
11:32 chris_n beat me to it :-)
11:32 hdl_laptop yes.
11:32 But not all of them declared as of now
11:33 they were declared in french first.
11:33 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: is the French bugs database publicly available, for French speakers and those who could make do with machine translation?
11:35 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: one would have to ask for an account. But it is online
11:35 suivi.biblibre.com
11:35 gmcharlt anybody can request an account?
11:36 hdl_laptop yes.
11:36 gmcharlt would you have any objection to having it be linked from koha-community.org and the like?
11:37 anyway, apologies for the digression - are there any more questions about 3.0.x?
11:38 nengard if not - are there any follow up items from the last meeting (#3 on the agenda)
11:39 gmcharlt if, not, then lets move on to 3.4 roles
11:39 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]elopment:roles3.4
11:39 nengard agenda item #4 it is
11:39 fredericd gmcharlt: reading back... I will do a new syspref translation script...
11:39 thd Proposals are still pending as they had been last time
11:39 gmcharlt fredericd++
11:40 thd fredericd++
11:40 nengard fredericd++
11:40 chris_n fredericd++
11:40 fredericd new syspref editor++
11:40 nengard heck yeah!!!
11:41 new syspref editor++
11:41 gmcharlt and speaking of proposals, I've tossed my name into the ring for module mainainer for cataloging and search
11:41 nengard does module maintainer mean the person bugs are assigned to?
11:41 or something else?
11:41 thd gmcharlt++
11:41 chris_n yup
11:41 gmcharlt++
11:41 nengard gmcharlt++
11:41 we needed a new person on search since search bugs are being ignored
11:42 gmcharlt nengard: that, but also (as I see it) reponsibility for mainitaining a tree and vetting patches releveant to that module
11:42 nengard awesome
11:42 gmcharlt so anyway, several positions have both proposals and no other candiates, so I move that we vote on the following:
11:42 Nicole Engard as Documentation Manager
11:43 Zeno Tajoli as DB documentar
11:43 Colin Campbell as QA manager
11:43 Chris Nighswonger as 3.2 Release Maintainer
11:43 so to take them in the order listed
11:43 nengard: any statement you want to make before we vote?
11:44 nengard gmcharlt i thought i was doc manager until I fell down - so i'm willing and able to stay your doc manager until that time :)

11:45 gmcharlt ok, I think that settles it
11:45 next, Zeno
11:46 tajoli isn't here, but as far as I know he's still wiling, so I move that we accept him as DB documentor for 3.4

11:49 tajoli joined #koha
11:49 tajoli sorry for dealy
11:49 gmcharlt hi tajoli - we've just confirmed you as DB documentor for 3.4
11:49 tajoli thanks
11:49 Do you need extra info ?
11:49 gmcharlt ok, I move that we vote on Colin Campbell as QA Manager for 3.4
11:49 tajoli: no, I think we're fine at the moment
11:50 masonj hiya zeno :)

11:54 Colin thanks
11:54 gmcharlt on to 3.2 RMaint
11:54 chris_n: any words?
11:54 chris_n I am certainly still willing to be RM and will endevor maintain the standard set by past RMs.

11:57 chris_n gmcharlt: I hold a very conservative definition of minor :-)
11:58 gmcharlt ok, that settles it
11:58 congrats, chris_n
11:58 chris_n tnx all
11:59 gmcharlt ok, moving on
11:59 we have three proposals for bug wranglers
11:59 pianohacker, hdl_laptop, and CALYX
11:59 fredericd couldn't it be shared?
11:59 chris_n gmcharlt: is this not a position where more than one filling it might be desireable?
11:59 gmcharlt I think we should have bug wrangling be filled by as many people who want to (and do) do it
12:00 nengard agreed
12:00 gmcharlt so I move that we accept all three proposals
12:00 chris_n seconded
12:00 fredericd +1
12:00 nengard +1
12:00 Ropuch +1
12:00 masonj +1

12:00 paul_p left #koha
12:01 slef 0
12:01 Genji left #koha
12:01 magnus +1
12:02 slef I think one should lead because there's scope for interference and not all have submitted full proposals.
12:02 But I'm willing to let you approve all three if you really think it can work.
12:02 gmcharlt from my POV, bug wrangling expands to fill all available volunteers
12:03 tajoli +1 on three Bug Wrenglers
12:03 thd :)
12:03 gmcharlt I'd suggest that the QA Manager help coordinate if there's a conflict
12:03 nengard that make sense to me
12:03 chris_n perhaps if there are enough people, they could be assigned areas to wrangle in
12:03 ie. north pasture vs south plains ;-)
12:04 gmcharlt hence the idea of module maintainer - i.e., somebody who not only wrangles, but maintains a tree and vets patches
12:04 Colin Its very useful to have people you know are familiar with an area
12:04 fredericd Colin: you could take SIP...
12:05 gmcharlt I've put in my name to be module maintainer for search and cataloging - I'll post a proposal on koha-devel, and also call for other people to volunteer to be module maintainers
12:05 Colin Sure
12:05 nengard this kind of touches on the next agenda item
12:05 gmcharlt we could then review the module maintainer propsals next meeting
12:05 slef I bake good apple pie, but that doesn't mean I should necessarily be in charge of a kitchen.
12:05 nengard #5 Bug Category Roles
12:06 gmcharlt nengard: one moment, though
12:06 one position that has not been voted on et
12:06 nengard ah
12:06 gmcharlt 3.4 translation manager
12:06 we have interest from fredericd and brendan
12:06 fredericd Nothing specific to add to my initial proposal
12:06 gmcharlt brendan hasn't sent in a proposal yet, though
12:07 one question I have about the TM role - will chris be maintaining the Pootle, or woudl that be moving?
12:07 nengard that may be because it was expressed that the translation manager should be a non english speaker - but he's not awake so i don't want to speak for him
12:07 fredericd I already have a pootle instance up and running.
12:08 chris_n gmcharlt: it may be good also request the current module maintainers to re-affirm their desire to remain so
12:08 set at response deadline
12:08 fredericd I'd need some help from Chris obviously at the beginning
12:08 Nate I believe nengard is correct regarding Brendan's proposal
12:08 chris_n and open up those positions with no response or a negative response by that date
12:10 nengard okay - so where are we? are we voting on translation manager? or are we moving on to the next agenda item?
12:11 chris_n it appears we lost gmcharlt
12:11 gmcharlt no, I'm still here
12:11 thd nengard: I thought that you were waking brendan :0
12:11 gmcharlt just waiting for comments re TM
12:11 nengard no - i said when he wakes - it's 3am there!!!
12:11 chris_n heh
12:12 gmcharlt ok, how about this - assuming that many of us will be around for the bug squashing tomorrow
12:12 we can give brendan the rest of today to complete or withdraw his proposal
12:12 and vote tomorrow
12:12 thoughts?

12:13 thd fredericd:  Would you care to make some comment about how you are hard at work or fast asleep and thus not seen at IRC meetings for those who do not know you?
12:13 jwagner gmcharlt, do you want to set a target time for voting tomorrow?
12:13 tajoli +1
12:14 gmcharlt jwagner: yes - I suggestion 19:00 UTC+0
12:14 fredericd thd: hard at sleep

12:16 nengard okay - on to #5 to which I agree with Chris_n's suggestion
12:16 owen left #koha
12:16 nengard we put out a call to see if people still want their roles as bug/module manager
12:16 and give them until the next meeting to respond
12:16 then we open up the roles
12:17 and let people say what they want/can manager
12:17 manage
12:18 * chris_n has to change locations... bbiab
12:18 kf \me needs to go back to meeting bbl
12:18 gmcharlt btw, the current list of bugs assignes is here http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]default_assignees
12:18 two things of note
12:19 nengard well if no on objects I'll put out the call and see if we can get some interest/renewed interest
12:19 gmcharlt 1) we need more people involved
12:19 nengard and we can move on to #6
12:19 gmcharlt nengard: I'll put it out
12:19 nengard okay - go for it
12:19 gmcharlt 2) the websites assignee is, of course, in an odd situation
12:19 nengard yeah
12:19 but there are plenty of other roles that have gone dead as well -
12:20 or that are assigned (in my opinion) incorrectly - acq should be someone at BibLibre since they dd so much work recently they know how things work better than anyone
12:20 as an example
12:20 gmcharlt one thing I would like to emphasize, though - people should never feel restricted from picking up and owrking on a bug whose status isn't ASSIgned
12:21 nengard agreed
12:21 gmcharlt umm, nengard, I suggest that you look at the list of assignees
12:21 tajoli many roles for gmcharlt but now you are on Evergreen or not ?
12:21 nengard gmcharlt - that's not how it is in bugszilla
12:21 hdl_laptop nengard: it is someone at BibLibre in charge of Acq.
12:22 gmcharlt nengard: the default assignee list IS taken from Bugzilla
12:22 nengard or it wasn't the last bug in acq i reported i had to manuall change it to hdl
12:22 k - i'll check again
12:22 when i'm more alert
12:22 masonj ill think about a module or two that i can look after...
12:22 gmcharlt and new acq bugs are indeed going to hdl_laptop
12:22 nengard k good
12:22 sorry for the confusion
12:22 gmcharlt masonj: cool, but more patches from you would be nice to see
12:23 nengard okay - on to #6 which is easy
12:23 i just want to remind you all to send me articles for the newsletter by the 14th -
12:23 masonj yep, i do plan to start sending stuff in again, very soon
12:23 nengard they should be short and sweet
12:24 #7 - Koha Tutorials
12:24 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]ntation:tutorials
12:24 we talked about this back in August and did some work, but I'd love to see more tutorials from you experts out there to help us new to programming for Koha learn the ropes
12:26 any comments? anyone still here?
12:27 am I moderating myself?? :)
12:27 slef Yes, just pinged myself.
12:27 A bit confused about what we're being asked to do.
12:27 Ropuch ;>
12:27 thd we need a proper manual for programmers
12:27 slef Still willing, but still no resources for this.
12:27 nengard slef back in august we talked about writing up quick tutorials on using git or updating perl or whatever else that new developers can easily understand and feel more comfrotable chipping in
12:28 jwagner On the tutorials, I'd like to see it expanded to general training -- how do I create a record/item, how do I check out (and how do I set up my circ rules), etc.  That would be useful to a wider audience.
12:28 thd nengard: it would be useful if we could link the tutorial which paul_p gave at KohaCon
12:28 nengard thd i think i'll be working on something like that this year - but nothing I do will be as good as quides from those who have been in the thick of it for years
12:28 thd - go for it!
12:28 jwagner - isn't that in the manual already?
12:29 jwagner Not in terms of learning how to do it.
12:29 Colin We could have fuller how tos
12:29 thd schuster took photographs of the whiteboard
12:29 jwagner The manual is great at describing each setting, but making the intuitive leap of "which ones do I need to configure for _this_ result" is harder.
12:30 gmcharlt to the extent that people doing training want to contribute their webcasts and pre-recorded sessions, that would address jwagner's concern, I think
12:30 nengard NEKLS has a lot of that already public
12:30 but I can always add more detail to the manual if we need/want it
12:30 jwagner And we've been referring people to the NEKLS stuff :-)
12:30 nengard I try to keep it generic - but don't mind being more specific
12:31 slef Is NEKLS stuff linked from http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]ntation:tutorials ?
12:31 jwagner I've been through a lot of migrations by now, and I'm always being asked the simple questions -- how do I check out a book, etc.
12:31 nengard slef yes, at teh bottom
12:31 slef oic
12:32 jwagner We've been working on training materials, and on my "someday" list is recording some webex sessions on the general topics.
12:32 slef so, again, what are we waiting for?  3.2 release and/or resources to run sessions?
12:32 nengard jwagner once 3.2 is out and the manual done i am going to do some video tutorials
12:32 slef I hope we can use something more open than webex.
12:32 Colin It would be good if biblibre have anything on acquisitions for 3.2
12:32 gmcharlt I'd encourage libraries who have written documentation to get themselves linked as well
12:32 nengard for now there is a link to some video tutorials at the bottom of the tutorials page
12:32 that i did for those in CA
12:33 yes hdl_laptop, I need some help writing the docs for the new acq
12:33 on this topic - the 3.2 English Version of the manual is up at: http://koha-community.org/docu[…]-manual/?ch=index
12:33 jwagner nengard, thanks -- that's the kind of stuff I'd like to see expanded.  The development/coding stuff is also needed, but general "how do I" is critical.
12:33 nengard still a work in progress and i have to fix the license
12:33 but it's there
12:33 fredericd Colin: +1 on new acq module (black box)
12:34 slef nengard: needs a link to source code checkout instructions (a HACKING file in GNUspeak)
12:34 nengard: but well done on getting it there
12:35 nengard slef - yeah it's missing the appendices and the links section - which might have that ... wizzyrea and Ropuch did all the work
12:35 and they're not done yet, but I thought I'd share
12:35 okay - I think we need to agree to the time of the next meeting - unless anyone else has more to add?
12:35 Ropuch slef: you're welcome to fix my lame googled regexp
12:35 ;>
12:35 tajoli quit
12:35 tajoli left #koha
12:36 slef Ropuch: regexp?

12:38 masonj +1
12:38 hdl_laptop nengard: will ask laurence and paul to improve documentation and post some on kohadocs
12:39 nengard okay next general meeting to be held on :  Wednesday, 3 March 2010 at 19:00 UTC+0
12:39 and bug squashing all day on the 10 February
12:39 I call this meeting to a close
12:39 gmcharlt thanks, nengard

12:40 nengard Ropuch - all timezones!! :)
12:40 all day in all timezones
12:41 squash those bugs :)
12:41 gmcharlt plan on staying up 24 hours! ;)
12:42 * jwagner would prefer to sleep for 24 hours....
12:42 Ropuch Yak!
12:43 nengard left #koha
12:43 slef I'd prefer to be awake 24 hours, but I have to drive somewhere tomoz PM so not sleeping would be negligent
12:43 Ropuch I can't sleep more than 7h

12:43 slef Ropuch: curious. 7h30 is more common.
12:43 Ropuch I feel like I have a hangover if I overslept
12:43 slef ack, metoo
12:44 * jwagner may be prejudiced by getting only about 3-4 hours of sleep last night
12:44 Ropuch hehe
12:45 thd jwagner: sleep all day today
12:45 Topic for #koha is now Discussion channel for the Koha ILS | Bug squashing all day Wednesday, 10 Feburary 2010
12:46 jwagner thd, maybe a nap....
12:46 * Ropuch prepares "Perl for dummies" copy for bug squashing ;>
12:48 jwagner Couple of git questions?  I know there's a command to look at the details of a commit -- maybe git log commit#?  Also, I think there's a way to do a git-diff between current branch and master -- what's that?
12:49 slef Ropuch: man perlintro, man perlretut, man perlboot and man perlcheat
12:49 jwagner: git log -1 commit#
12:49 jwagner: git diff master # I think
12:50 gmcharlt jwagner: also git show commit#
12:50 Colin git show
12:50 jwagner Thanks slef, gmcharlt, Colin
12:50 Can't wait until jdavidb is back online so I can pester him....
12:51 slef could try man git...
12:52 Ropuch jwagner: http://progit.org/book/ - quite useful for git newbie (like me)
12:53 jwagner Thanks.  We have a couple of git manuals, but I have trouble wading through them.  I try to stick to the basics :-)

13:08 imp hdl_laptop: still here?
13:14 nengard how do you nicely say - I cannot and will not be your personal support person?
13:15 hdl_laptop imp: ?
13:15 gmcharlt nengard: sending them a price quote?
13:15 jwagner nengard, if they haven't gotten the point by now, there is no nice way to say it....
13:16 imp hdl_laptop: you said, if you got a bad marc record, it breaks the page (right before the meeting)
13:16 but it's the first record i try to add
13:16 (so i'm a little bit confused ;)
13:16 hdl_laptop MARC21 or UNIMARC ?
13:17 imp set my koha to marc21
13:17 slef nengard: I've got a form letter saying I'm sorry but I don't have enough free time, so their choices are asking a mailing list or contracting the co-op.
13:17 nengard slef - i tried that - didn't work
13:18 and gmcharlt - guess that's my next step :)
13:18 slef nengard: rinse and repeat
13:18 nengard hehe
13:18 slef nengard: this is why it's a form letter :-/
13:18 nengard :)
13:19 guess i'll need to write one up - to be honest this is the first time that the person didn't go the mailing list when i said that was the way to do this
13:19 gmcharlt there's always the chance that the response to a price quote will be a check :)
13:19 nengard oooooo
13:22 hdl_laptop imp: you may have some problems with your framework then.
13:22 You should check that in admin
13:24 imp it's the same with the default framework and the fast-add one (where i've removed some fields)
13:24 MARC Bibliographic Framework Test ?
13:24 it says everything is ok

13:40 gmcharlt excuses, excuses
13:41 owen gmcharlt: At least you had the opportunity to pile work on my plate in my absence.
13:41 * owen checks his plate
13:41 chris_n lol
13:42 gmcharlt owen: oops, forgot to tell you that we're sick of this XHTML stuff, we want to go back to HTML4
13:43 * owen rushes around unclosing tags and putting markup in UPPER CASE!!
13:43 owen <HTML><P>There. All done.</HTML>
13:43 * owen shudders to even joke about it.
13:44 * chris_n busies himself with trying to learn how to use the new patron card tool ;-)
13:56 bigbrovar_ joined #koha
13:58 Colin t/Dates.t appears to have the wrong number of tests... but this seems to have been wrong for a long time
13:59 bigbrovar_ am trying to install koha3.0.5 on ubuntu 8.04 following instructions on this wiki page http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]uide_ubuntu_hardy. everything seem to run fine but when I did make test I got the follow errors http://pastebin.com/m4b7cb01e
14:02 slef looking
14:02 schuster joined #koha
14:02 slef anyone remember if make test works on ubuntu hardy for 3.0.5?
14:03 Is there some way to read the test results in detail, anyone?
14:03 bigbrovar_: any error lines before the Test Summary Report?
14:04 gmcharlt slef: prove -v test
14:04 bigbrovar_ well they were some error lines... unfortunately am on a screen session and I cant scroll up :(
14:05 slef, .
14:05 slef bigbrovar_: ctrl+A then [ then PgUp lots
14:05 bigbrovar_: then [ when finished
14:05 screen does its own scrollbuffer
14:06 bigbrovar_ slef, oh ok thanks
14:11 slef, that jump to the top of the page.. however well am already make install would have to wait till that runs.  or what do u think? (am quite new at this )
14:13 slef yes, I think it has probably scrolled off, so [ to stop it and wait
14:13 bigbrovar_: gmcharlt's prove command is probably a better bet, where "test" is "t/Circulation_barcodedecode.t" I think
14:13 I will soon go to lunch
14:16 bigbrovar_ slef, I will run the prove command once make install is done (kind of medicine after death I know but this is a test install not a production deployment) will u still be logged on when you are off to lunch?
14:16 slef, will pastebin the output of the prove command once(if) make install is complete
14:18 slef my client idles here as much as possible
14:18 but I might not read messages sent to me until the morning
14:18 but others here can also help, I'm sure.
14:20 bigbrovar_ slef, make install went fine
14:20 slef, about to run the prove command
14:21 slef, this is the output of the prove test http://pastebin.com/m1a3e837f

15:22 hilongo jwagner: yep .. and more when it is already in production... I think I've aged a couple of years in this past days :)
15:23 but now that everything worked .. I can focus in fixing a couple of problems I'm having with Koha...
15:24 One is with Reserves not working and the other with Searching and some weird diacritic problem

16:01 owen Do you have circulation rules set up for the patron category and itemtype you're trying to put a hold on?
16:08 hilongo I tried to re-set circulation rules and I find I'm no able to ... aparently, there is some finedays column that smart-rules.pl wants to fill but that column does not exist in the database...
16:09 I'll try to add that column manually and see what happens
16:21 ok ... I have re-set the circ rules .. the Default ones and the library specific ...  I have the holds policy as "Book - from any library"
16:21 Kivutar left #koha
16:21 hilongo but the problem is not solved :(

16:31 * ebegin lol... this is almost a daily event in winter here :)
16:33 jwagner Yes, I know.  I grew up in snow country.  But the DC area is NOT used to this.  Doesn't have the equipment, experience, or planning to cope with major storms.  And there's a third one moving in this afternoon.  Three big blizzards in one winter?  Unheard of in this area.

16:36 jwagner Yep, he's been having a rough time.  He was without power for a couple of days (brrrrr) and is still without Internet.  Busses aren't running, so he can't get into work either.
16:36 hilongo it's no use ... setting specific rules doesn't work either...
16:36 jwagner I've been working from home since last Friday, and have been VERY lucky not to lose power throughout.  Knock wood....\
16:39 ebegin jwagner, over here, how strange it can be, we do not have a lot of snow this year...

16:47 wizzyrea_laptop @later tell chris any suggestions on setting the openjade max errors from Docbook2html?
16:47 munin wizzyrea_laptop: The operation succeeded.
16:48 wizzyrea_laptop for that matter, anyone else?
16:48 nengard: that's why your appendix is missing
16:48 you may be using invalid characters in the manual?
16:49 http://www2.cddc.vt.edu/marxis[…]sets/non-sgml.htm may help you
16:50 gmcharlt wizzyrea_laptop: does running xmllint --noout {name of docbook.xml} turn up anything?
16:50 wizzyrea_laptop good question, I shall try that
16:52 nothing :/
16:53 doesn't say anything, actually, is that odd?
16:53 gmcharlt that means it thinks it thinks it's valid
16:54 what is the character encoding declared in the XML header?
16:54 wizzyrea_laptop utf-8
16:54 hrm
16:54 I think openjade defaults to unicode
16:55 and I'm not sure how to change that...
16:55 gmcharlt unicode should be fine
16:55 wizzyrea_laptop manual.xml:17128:20:E: non SGML character number 152
16:55 are the errors
16:56 so I either need to tell openjade that this is ok, or change the xml
16:56 or set the max errors
16:56 which I haven't found a way to through docbook2html
16:57 152 is the tilde, btw
17:00 gmcharlt what is the openjade command-line you're using?
17:01 wizzyrea_laptop it's being triggered from docbook2html :(
17:01 chris_n @wunder 28334
17:01 munin chris_n: The current temperature in Erwin, North Carolina is 4.0�C (11:41 AM EST on February 09, 2010). Conditions: Light Rain. Humidity: 75%. Dew Point: 0.0�C. Windchill: 2.0�C. Pressure: 30.04 in 1017 hPa (Rising). High wind watch in effect from Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening...
17:01 wizzyrea_laptop but if I were just using openjade I could -E0 and have unlimited errors
17:02 so it may just be a problem with docbook2html
17:03 gmcharlt does adding -w no-sgml work?
17:05 wizzyrea_laptop oooh, I missed that one
17:05 let me try that
17:05 gmcharlt or -e no-sgml

18:07 Colin Weekly twice-weekly monthly bi-monthly quarterly and irregular
18:07 chris congrats/commiserations Colin :)

18:08 Brooke uh oh

18:10 * Brooke nods
18:10 Colin (even although two years worth arrive in a lump)
18:11 Brooke this guy has stuff that comes in regularly but the tables do not appear to match the options that are currently there. Is there a flip that can be switched in Parameters, or am I hoping for too much?
18:12 chris_n hdl_laptop: what does USERBLOCKEDREMAINING mean?
18:13 Colin You may be hoping. I'm due to look at prediction patterns soon (when that libraries serial librarians give me the list of perceived oddities)
18:13 Brooke hawt
18:14 hdl_laptop USERBLOCKED And he has some books still not returned
18:14 Brooke it almost seems like this data should be somewhere in cyberspace, possibly behind OCLC's locked doors...
18:14 chris_n hdl_laptop: what controls this limit?
18:15 hdl_laptop IsMemberBlocked and the finedays in Circulation
18:15 chris_n tnx
18:15 gmcharlt Brooke: well, for MARC21, prediction patterns for a lot of serials are freely available via CONSER records, though not in an ideal form
18:15 Brooke HDL - proper credit has been given to BibLibre on the wiki now :D Thanks!

18:32 at least that appears to be it
18:32 jwagner chris_n, I've been bitten by that one before :-(
18:33 chris_n yup another NULL
18:33 hdl_laptop oh... we have just catched that on our issuingrules improvments
18:33 chris_n most db fields should be NOT NULL imho
18:34 hdl_laptop: are those improvements in HEAD?
18:34 hdl_laptop should be for 3.4
18:37 gmcharlt implementing DBIx::Class is going to give us an excellent excuse to examine the entire schema
18:37 chris *nod*
18:37 hdl_laptop Sure... But do we ant to use DBIx::Class in Circulation ?
18:37 chris_n it would seem that adding a default rule to the mandatory or optional data might avoid heartache in 3.2
18:38 or a hint on the circ rule page
18:38 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: ultimately, yes, though I don't think we have
18:38 to convert the entire DB layer to DBIC for 3.4
18:39 chris nope, it can be done a piece at a time
18:39 borrowers is the first candidate
18:39 gmcharlt chris_n: I thought there was a hard-coded fallback
18:39 although sample data is better anyway
18:39 hdl_laptop chris_n: you'd better manage the undefined values at first in TooMany and GetLoanLength

18:44 schuster While I was actually getting my 3.2 installation up and running today!!! YEAHHH...  I noticed on one of the pages an error about mysql version - not being compatable - should I put that into a bug?
18:44 pages as in doing the web installer on a fresh install.
18:44 gmcharlt bugs.koha.org - HEAD, installation
18:44 schuster OK - it finished, but evidently one of the calls for the sysprefs it didn't like.
18:44 gmcharlt the web instasller component, specfically
18:44 schuster yes.
18:45 chris an xslt one schuster ?
18:45 if so yes, i can confirm that, it needs to be reported as a bug
18:46 hdl_laptop cait: I was thinking about that one.

18:59 schuster whle we are discussing this  chris_n...  Last night to get around the PDF::API2:Simple - we had to do cpan Module::Install - and then the cpan PDF::API2::Simple
19:00 Yeah...gmcharlt...  debian-lenny install instructions...
19:01 So how does that get documented into the install instructions?  As you all know I'm not much of a committer/editor, just a finder...right now...  I'll get into git by the end of the year!
19:01 imp schuster: had the same problem with Module::Install
19:02 imho it's a missing dep in PDF::API2::Simple and not a problem of koha
19:04 schuster Well it becomes a koha install issue and needs to be documented for other non techies like me so they don't get stuck on it.  I've been working to install a version of koha for 2 weeks now and keep hitting walls due to lenny and dependancies.
19:04 Not complaining, just commenting...
19:04 gmcharlt schuster: including libmodule-install-perl in the apt-get list would do it
19:04 either way, file a bug
19:05 imp let's see if somebody already made a bug report on cpan
19:06 schuster OK - well I did the libmodule-install-perl last night but still got stuck on the PDF::API2::Simple - they were talking about Module::Install wasn't standard any longer...???  masonj and chris_n could speak more to that than I.
19:06 I'll search bugs to see what I find before doing anything.

19:43 or can I install  libyaml-perl after installations?
19:43 gmcharlt: .
19:43 gmcharlt yes, you can do it afterwards
19:43 bigbrovar gmcharlt: thanks
19:43 joetho who is/was qa for 32?
19:44 chris gmcharlt was doing both roles
19:44 joetho wow
19:44 chris and a mighty fine job he did too
19:44 finding qa people is hard
19:44 so we must be nice to Colin
19:44 bigbrovar gmcharlt: guess I could add  libyaml-perl as one of the needed pacakges in the wiki for UBuntu hardy
19:44 joetho the qa would have to get along pretty well with the rm
19:45 chris that would be good bigbrovar
19:45 gmcharlt bigbrovar: and if you're even more ambitious, could patch the ubuntu package list under install_misc as well ;)
19:45 joetho Galen seems to like Galen ok
19:45 chris joetho: yep thats fairly important

19:50 joetho anyway I have been trying to install ubuntu for MONTHS now
19:50 chris and git makes it a hell of a lot easier too
19:50 joetho always something
19:51 braedon|work joetho: what version, onto what?
19:51 joetho mostly, I run out of time to troubleshoot so I end up starting over (ubuntu install
19:51 * chris goes debian for server, ubuntu for desktop .. but thats just my preference
19:51 Genji joined #koha
19:51 * braedon|work has had nothing but trouble with debian servers
19:52 joetho ubuntu here, and I think I will use the alphabeta newest koha available, but it ain't happenin THIS week
19:52 chris heh funny, i find debian stable, rock solid :)
19:53 braedon|work well, my issues have mainly been with debian, not the install itself
19:53 one major one was when the debian repos decided to not work with apt
19:53 which was very helpfull
19:54 a huge range of packages would just refuse to download, complaining about a size missmatch
19:54 download the packages from exactly the same ftp server manually, and they install fine
19:54 chris sounds like someone set up the repo badly to me
19:54 braedon|work never had any issues with apt on Ubuntu
19:54 chris ive never had issues with it on debian, but a bad repo will cause that :)
19:54 wizzyrea_laptop i 2nd the debian = rock solid argument
19:54 braedon|work it was on all mirrors of  an official debian repo
19:55 (all mirrors i tried, including the main, and NZ mirrors)
19:55 chris of course ubuntu is just debian, with non free stuff :-)
19:55 braedon|work yip
19:55 and better repo management :P
19:55 chris thats where you are wrong
19:55 its exactly the same
19:55 the exact same package management
19:56 braedon|work no, i'm meaning the human managemnt of the repositories
19:56 i know the system is the same
19:56 but the actual repos are different
19:56 chris ah, ive had plenty of bad ppa's
19:56 braedon|work :P
19:56 but pps are the best invention ever :)
19:56 ppa's*
19:56 chris when they work
19:56 :)
19:57 braedon|work anywho, better get back to work writing an install guide for koha on ubuntu :)
19:57 chris :)
19:57 you could set up a ppa for the non packaged perl modules
19:57 dh-make-perl will package them for ya
19:58 braedon|work hmm, that is an awesome idea
19:58 * braedon|work makes a mental note to look into that at some point
19:58 chris :)
19:59 * braedon|work has been getting rather frustrated with cpan
19:59 chris cpanplus is pretty cool too
19:59 richard braedon: seen this http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gi[…];f=INSTALL.ubuntu
20:00 braedon|work yipyip, that is the basis of the guide
20:00 s/the/my/
20:00 chris wizzyrea_laptop: do you reckon we should put an development roles .. or elected roles or something section on koha-community
20:00 braedon|work well, for the actual installatio nsection
20:01 i'm doing installation, configuration, data import, etc
20:01 chris where we can list the ppl doing what for 3.4 ? (and 3.2)
20:01 wizzyrea_laptop yes, I do, if that's not outside the scope of the site
20:01 (which I don't think it is
20:01 I think at this point we should probably consider it to be what will take over for koha.org when we get it back
20:01 chris just thought it might be handy to have a page with names and contact details
20:01 wizzyrea_laptop when/if
20:01 chris *nod*
20:01 Genji hey all
20:01 wizzyrea_laptop hey genji
20:02 but yea, we can make a page, probably under "About"
20:02 chris good idea
20:02 * wizzyrea_laptop likes to organize
20:02 gmcharlt or possibly part of a history of Koha page?
20:02 joetho When I first began looking at Koha I noticed that the web presence was, umm, ...scattered
20:02 chris we could do both
20:03 history section, and current ppl to pester page
20:03 ?
20:03 joetho this was maybe three years ago
20:03 wizzyrea_laptop Ah history! yes, that too
20:04 release teams?
20:04 not sure what to call it >.>
20:04 gmcharlt release teams works for me
20:04 chris yeah that works
20:05 wizzyrea_laptop: the history.txt file in git is tab separated text, with the idea being to make it easy to suck into an html table
20:05 Genji "bug wrangling expands to fill all available volunteers" i love this.
20:05 wizzyrea_laptop gmcharlt has a gift for words :)
20:06 ok, the dummies are in
20:06 just need the content, some of which I can get myself
20:06 Genji it reminds me of a sign i rescued from soemewhere... "Work expands to fill time available for its completion."
20:07 gmcharlt exactly my source of inspiration
20:07 wizzyrea_laptop but never contracts
20:07 >.<
20:07 Genji parkinsons law..

20:07 munin jwagner: The operation succeeded.  Quote #54 added.
20:09 braedon|work who is responsible for the new syspref editor?
20:09 * braedon|work wants to hug them
20:09 wizzyrea_laptop Pianohacker

20:09 wizzyrea_laptop if you were going to hit him we might not tell you >.>
20:10 braedon|work :)
20:10 i shall have to hug him when he comes on
20:15 Genji want to run two zebra queries, and have them both shoved into the same results arrayhash. the current implementation of getRecords can do seperate server iterations, doing more than  one search at a time. but  it  puts each resultset in its own element of the resultarray hash. i want the two zebra queries combined into one resultshash, so the ofsetting subroutine can offset correctly.
20:15 what values in the hash are independant of the actual results, that i have to account for the combining process? 'hits' is one correct? any others?
20:16 gmcharlt Genji: stupid question - just 'and' the queries together before submitting to Zebra?
20:16 or are they separate Zebra DBs
20:17 Genji same zebra db... almost the exact same query. but i need the first queries results to always come before the second queries results.
20:18 IrmaCalyx left #koha
20:18 gmcharlt what's the use case?
20:18 IrmaCalyx joined #koha
20:19 francharb left #koha
20:21 Genji mandumah.com, a digital only library, has made a marc field, a journal number. and a mysql table keeps tabs on which journals are released for download, and which are not. so, in advanced search, one can search for all journals, for downloadable only journals...  or non-downloadable journals. zebra gets  given a huge list of journals  not to have in the results. for all journals however...
20:22 downloadable journals are mixed in with non-downloadable.
20:22 my boss wants the downloadable journals to be at the top of the results.
20:23 gmcharlt my inclination would be to copy the download flag to the MARC bib
20:23 index the target subfield
20:23 and have Zebra take care of the indexing
20:23 and sorting
20:25 Genji yet, every time journals need to get their download flag updated... talking 40k articles so far, each article needs to get updated, that got modified.
20:25 gmcharlt ah, an article-level database?
20:25 Genji yah. each article is a biblio.
20:26 so having a download flag in marc would take alot of cpu time and rl time to update..
20:26 gmcharlt anyway, to answer in terms of your original question, 'hits' is the only top-level key
20:27 Genji so its 'hits' and 'results'... and results i can just combine, and hits i can just add?
20:27 gmcharlt assuming that there's no possibility of overlap, yes
20:28 Genji well.. either a article is downloadable or its not.
20:28 gmcharlt mod a possible race condition
20:28 although that can probably be ignored in practice
20:30 Genji hmm... so i combine them as they come out of zoom::query, or after they come out of getRecords, or somewhere in the middle?
20:31 richard left #koha
20:32 jwagner left #koha
20:37 gmcharlt Genji: I recommend as close to zoom::query as possible
20:37 thd chris_n chris_n: are you there?
20:38 * chris_n checks
20:38 chris_n yes
20:38 :-)
20:39 thd what is a minimal enhancement?
20:39 richard joined #koha
20:40 chris_n thd: only an attempt to not shut a door I might have been sorry I shut later on
20:41 * gmcharlt has a suggestion - a "minimal enhancement" is one that can be readily forward-porting to HEAD
20:41 thd chris_n: is there an exception for possibly integrating biblios as had been in the original 3.2 plan?
20:41 gmcharlt it's not the size that matters so much as reducing the risk of losing features between a maintenance version and the master branch
20:42 chris biblios has a flaw in that it doesnt work at all with unimarc
20:42 gmcharlt it's also stability - unstable new features shoudn't be backported until they are stable
20:42 thd I might fix that flaw
20:42 chris_n gmcharlt: I wholly agree
20:43 chris thd: if that was fixed, it would be a perfect 3.4 candidate
20:43 thd gmcharlt: is biblios unstable?
20:43 gmcharlt thd: unstable?  it needs some TLC because of Google Gears, but no, I wouldn't call it unstable
20:43 cait isnt gears a problem too?
20:43 IrmaCalyx left #koha
20:43 thd gears is certainly a problem
20:44 gmcharlt though as http://git.biblios.org/ shows, it hasn't been updated (exept perhaps outside of biblios.net in yonks)
20:44 chris_n gears does not work with FF atm I think
20:44 chris it does with hackery
20:45 if you trick it into thinking its older firefox than it is
20:45 then it will
20:45 thd chris_n: I had wondered about the constant messages I get from iceweasel about that problem
20:45 chris yep
20:45 gears isnt getting much love
20:45 focus is on html5 and chrome
20:45 * chris_n finally yanked it on his ff
20:47 gmcharlt ccatalfo is more than happy to strip the gears dependency, but tspauling is keeping him pretty busy
20:47 chris *nod*
20:47 i met one of the librarything sysadmins at linux conf
20:47 thd tspauling?
20:47 chris_n thd: I think there are a lot of other questions, etc. about biblios which would have to be resolved before we can consider the possibility of an exception
20:47 chris im hoping to convince him (john dalton) to come over for kohacon (he is in sydney)
20:49 thd chris_n: I am simply thinking about how troublesome the limitations of the internal record editor are.
20:49 chris yep, i think we have to live with that for 3.2 at least in a mainstream supported version
20:49 chris_n I share your pain... or my catalogers do at least
20:49 chris but we should certainly aim to fix it for 3.4
20:49 you should talk to pianohacker about his cut down editor too
20:50 thd chris_n: I very much like the good aspects of the internal record editor which are a great credit to paul_p and had not received enough attention in biblios
20:51 gmcharlt thd: tspaulding = Tim Spaulding
20:53 thd chris_n: however, I have tried to do useful high volume record ending in  the internal record editor and found it unusable for that purpose.
20:54 thanks gmcharlt: I had assumed that was the correct name but missed the 'd' in spaulding and had not recognised it
20:57 rhcl Any idea how well Koha (and associatedly MySql) performs on a hex-core opteron? Some of my reading indicates that many apps can't really utilize all 6 cores efficiently

22:32 bigbrovar ok my bad I forgot to add Listening 8080 to /etc/apache2/ports.conf everything works fine now .. phew!
22:32 Listen* 8080
22:32 rhcl wizzyrea: wonder when KUDOS will have a meeting in KC? Or Dallas? (where is schuster?)
22:33 chris schuster is near dallas
22:33 GenjiScreen ah neat, irssi  works well.
22:36 rhcl Tulsa and OKC are about halfway between KC and DFW, wonder when Oklahoma libraries will start getting into Koha?
22:36 chris i suspect lots of US libraries are waiting to see how this PTFS-LL thing shakes out
22:36 but generally the answer is, when their existing contract ends :-)
22:37 rhcl yea on both comments
22:40 braedon|work left #koha
22:41 Genji ah.. getRecords goes through each record, and adds the raw to the resultshash. if i just move the my  resultshash and $j outside the loop... and have another loop for the second query... my raw results will be added to the resultshash... yay1
22:41 !
22:44 braedon|work joined #koha
22:44 * braedon|work somehow managed to kick the power switch on the wall under his desk...
22:44 Genji ...
22:45 * braedon|work hopes his local virtual server isn't broken
22:46 Genji had that happen to me. a rsync fixed most of the damage.
22:47 braedon|work phew, everything seems to be alright
22:47 only lost a bit of firefox history :)
22:47 Genji i had bad inodes and binary getting inside text files.
22:47 braedon|work ouch
22:51 Genji hmm.. actually.. think i  might of had to rebuild the entire devel server...  can't remember all that well.
22:52 lesson... make backups of your VM.
22:53 braedon|work it wouldn't actually have been an issue if it was broken, so long as it was only internal - not virtualbox issues
22:53 i am planning on rolling it back to a older snapshot later today
22:54 (i have plenty of those - running out of HDD space :P)
22:55 Genji oh. and if you can't afford a ups... use a laptop. :)
23:03 chris im unusre what darrell was asking, i hope i answered him ok
23:03 "will this make it hard for people to maintain proprietary forks"
23:04 "i damn well hope so"
23:20 moodaepo proprietary_forks--
23:20 * chris_n wonders why we waited until now to discuss the 3.4 plans
23:21 chris_n the proposal has been up for at least 2 months
23:21 chris yeah
23:21 ah well, im glad he is happy with it, just seemed like a funny question to ask
23:24 collum_ Is there a way for catalogers to merge authority records in koha?
23:25 chris there have been, lemme see if there currently is
23:25 2 secs
23:25 collum_ ok
23:29 chris yup there is
23:30 but damned if i can find the link to it
23:30 there is cataloguing/merge.pl
23:30 imp Can't call method "leader" on an undefined value at /root/koha/C4/Biblio.pm line 1149. (if i try to search for the title from this record: http://hannover.ccc.de/~imp/bib-7.utf8)
23:30 collum_ Ahh. For some reason I couldn't find it.
23:30 chris yeah i cant find it in the interface
23:30 i wonder how you get to it
23:31 i can see the file in the repo
23:32 ah ha
23:32 Give the user the ability to merge two records, one being kept and the other deleted. Selection of the records to merge can be done from virtualshelves.
23:33 so you add some records to a virtualshelf/list
23:33 collum_ OK.  I'll play with it.  Thanks chris.
23:34 If I'm ever to sell Koha to my co-workers this is definitely one thing they will want.
23:34 chris then you can go to the lists page, and now i get the option to merge
23:34 collum_ cool
