02:06 Jo Chris N - are you about
02:06 need help with labelmaker
02:07 braedon|work hey, i'm in line firsT!
02:07 Jo elbows raedon out of the way with my big bum ;)
02:09 wizzyre_laptop left #koha
02:10 braedon|work what is your problem with the labelmaker?
02:10 Jo have a phonecall which i need help with
02:11 Mapua library - wanting to generate and print out barcode labels  from 3.0.0.2
02:11 and its not working
02:13 right, well then I shall sit patiently and wait in line - behind Braedon - for Chris-N to come cak
02:13 back (even)
02:16 braedon|work haha, no no, go ahead of me
02:16 i hacked around mine anyway
02:16 it is more of a bug report than an ask for help
02:18 the scaling and positioning of barcodes in the patron card creator(and probably in other labels that use barcodes) is rather broken if the number is too small. So i added a million to each number - thankfully the library is still at a stage where it can do that
02:29 Jo this is a small volunteer library in mapua (nelson - NZ) lloking for help.
02:30 way beyond my skillset unfortunately
02:34 braedon|work what are the details of the problem? I may possibly be able to be of some assistance (but probably not)

02:50 Jo braedon: they need to generate and print out a sheet of barcode labels to stick on books.
02:51 starting from a completely manual system
02:51 they have the system up and running - z39.50 working etc.
02:51 can create records - but need sheets of barcodes to do the next thing (sounds easy :)

02:59 braedon|work Jo what are they up to?
02:59 what have they tried?
03:02 * chris_n wanders back in
03:02 chris_n Jo: 3.0.0.2... is there any way they could upgrade to something more recent... 3.0.5 maybe?
03:03 braedon|work: scaling has been busted for a while for very low numbers
03:03 which is a good reason to go with large numbers :-)
03:04 actually scaling foo is a bit challenging with the way the PDF::Reuse barcode stuff is written
03:04 so it may stay that way for a while longer
03:04 braedon|work chris_n: i figured you would know, but thought it should bring it up jsut in case
03:05 s/it/i/
03:05 chris_n there is actually a bug for it and someone did some work, but what works for small numbers will most likely have the opposite effect on large ones
03:05 braedon|work s/jsut/just/
03:06 chris_n Jo: we just did 7k labels with the label tool and most of them were in early versions of 3.0.x
03:07 cj is there a script/utility to migrate data from koha 2.2.3 to 3.0?
03:08 Jo hi chris_n
03:08 chris_n cj: check the scripts in misc/migration_tools/22_to_30
03:08 hey Jo, what sort of problems are they having?
03:09 Jo Chris_n : I shall ask. The other option is that they have a teeny tiny budget and could pay someone to generate a file  for them to just print off.
03:09 cj where can i find that chris_n? in my local server?
03:09 Jo I don't know exactly.... but I have the lady's email address.
03:09 chris_n cj: and also installer/data/mysql
03:09 cj: yes
03:10 Jo wondering whether it is the same problem Braedon might be having ... bet they tried to start from 1 or something like that
03:10 cj thanks chris.. ill check
03:10 chris_n it may be
03:10 the barcodes scale very large it seems when small numbers are used
03:10 chris http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30&s[]=update
03:10 Jo would you be willing for me to put her in direct contact with her?
03:11 chris_n Jo: sure
03:11 Jo ok - thank you :)
03:11 gmcharlt hi chris - is will on #koha?
03:11 chris_n Jo: chris.nighswonger at gmail.com
03:11 chris nope, ill tell him to get on when he gets to his desk tho
03:12 gmcharlt nothing urgent
03:12 just wanted to welcome him
03:13 chris_n braedon|work: the algorithm for scaling the barcodes is based on how wide the bar pattern is
03:13 braedon|work chris_n: well, there is really two issues as far as i can see. first is the positioning of the smaller barcodes, or rather all barcodes - the issue gets increasingly less pronounced as you increase the barcode size. The other is barcodes being stretched to a fixed percentage of the card, which looks rather bad and seems to cause issues with barcode scanners (for me). Wouldn't have a clue about the first from what i read of the code, but the latter sho
03:13 uld be able to be solved by calculating an optimum width for reading instead of stretching, and then handling barcodes that have optimum widths greater than the card seperatly
03:13 chris_n roughly speaking, height is inversely proportional to width
03:14 user77 joined #koha
03:14 chris_n what flavor of barcode are you using?
03:14 user77 is now known as rhcl_home
03:14 braedon|work code39. nothing else seems to work
03:14 not that i know what the others are supposed to do... :p
03:14 chris_n I've never had a problem with code39 reading
03:15 braedon|work it was for numbers like 2
03:16 chris_n I can understand that, though
03:16 om
03:17 braedon|work om nom nom?
03:17 (sorry, too much tf2)
03:17 chris_n hehe
03:17 bug 2409 is the one for that

03:17 chris_n feel free to submit any hackary you find works better with both small and large numbers
03:18 cj i'm having an error while executing this command "perl update22to30.pl" ---> Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC
03:19 not really familiar with perl
03:19 braedon|work have you set the enviromental variables?
03:20 something like this:
03:20 export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
03:20 export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib
03:20 particuarly the latter
03:20 check with:
03:21 echo $PERL5LIB
03:21 cj oks
03:26 braedon|work those variables are required for any Koha command line scripts to run. If you run those export commands(make sure they point to the correct places for your install, and edit if necessary) straight from a terminal, they will only apply for the current session. to "permanently" apply them, you will need to add the lines to something like /etc/environment, or the .profile file for the account that will be running scripts
03:32 Amit joined #koha
03:32 Amit good morning all
03:32 chris_n heya Amit
03:33 Amit heya chris_n
03:33 braedon|work chris_n: I can have a look, but from what i have seen of the koha source code, my perl is really not up to scratch at the moment to do anything like that. The only perl work i have done is a script to mass search z39.50 servers, that i wrote a month or so ago. I can write my own basic scripts, but don't really have the knowledge of the more advanced language features to know enough of what is going on in Koha code to make any changes, if that makes se
03:33 nse
03:34 i'm more of a python person :)
03:34 rhcl_home python++
03:34 chris_n np, it is on the list to do
03:35 * chris_n and snakes do not get along well ;-)
03:35 braedon|work i really should do more work with perl though
03:36 "python" actualy refers to monty python, not the snake
03:36 the logo is misleading :P
03:37 rhcl_home but the book "Programming Python" by O'Reilly did have a snake on the cover
03:37 * braedon|work enjoys reading the python manual for the monty python sketch references
03:37 chris http://go-to-hellman.blogspot.[…]ches-of-koha.html
03:37 rhcl_home kind of a play on words
03:37 chris_n so will Python answer "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
03:38 braedon|work dunno, but there are at least two examples in the manual that write code that effectively reenacts that sketch
03:38 rhcl_home emacs probably has a built-in function template to answer it
03:39 braedon|work from wikipedia(must be true!): "An important goal of the Python developers is making Python fun to use. This is reflected in the origin of the name (based on the television series Monty Python's Flying Circus), in the common practice of using Monty Python references in example code, and in an occasionally playful approach to tutorials and reference materials.[22][23]  For example, the metasyntactic variables often used in Python literature are spam an
03:39 d eggs, instead of the traditional foo  and bar."

03:42 Drew anyone up for a question?
03:44 rhcl_home just ask, if someone knows they'll answer. a lot of the regulars aren't active on right now though
03:44 Drew I am trying to print labels and the batch select by date does not seem to work
03:44 Topic for #koha is now Discussion channel for the Koha ILS | Ask, no need to ask to ask
03:44 * chris_n runs away
03:45 chris_n Drew: I just noticed that as well
03:45 braedon|working actually, i found that too
03:45 * chris_n was under the impression that that had been fixed

03:48 gmcharlt chris: will there be a DBrev for the 2188 patch series?
03:48 braedon|working and in 3.00.05
03:48 for me
03:48 Drew: what version, and Zebra/NoZebra?
03:48 Drew where do I look for that
03:49 braedon|working search for zebra in system preferences for Zebra
03:49 chris_n iirc it was a date formatting issue
03:49 braedon|working version... dunno. Anyone?
03:51 chris_n: weird that it is working on 3.00.05. I'm sure it wasn't a week or so ago. Unless it was another NoZebra issue?)
03:54 Drew i opted not to use zebra as we have less than 1000 volume
03:54 braedon|working that may be the issue
03:54 i have had nothing but problems with noZebra
03:54 Drew can i add zebra now?
03:54 braedon|working yip
03:54 Drew how would I do that
03:55 braedon|working just posted a howto to the mailinglist in response to someone else
03:55 are you subscribed?
03:55 Drew no
03:55 braedon|working ok, i'l get you the archive, just a sec
03:56 cj what does this error mean? "updatedatabase.pl: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Table 'koha.bookshelf' doesn't exist at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/ins​taller/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl line 63."
03:56 got this error while running the web installer

03:57 Drew: make sure to check the assorted paths used - they may well be different for you. Also, some commands are ubuntu specific
03:57 Drew: But that is what works for me :)
03:57 Drew i am using ubuntu
03:57 braedon|working swt
03:57 shouldn't be too much of an issue then

03:58 that address is not taking me anywhere
03:58 braedon|working really?
03:58 damn
03:59 weird - works fine for me
03:59 what is an address i can forward the email to?
04:00 don't really want to past it all in here...
04:00 actually, i can try pastebin, just a sec

04:01 returned to sender
04:02 Drew my bad

04:06 munin chris_n: The operation succeeded.
04:06 cj chris_n: there is no bookshelf table in /installer/data/mysql/kohastructure.sql
04:07 by the way i installed this version koha-3.00.04_fixed
04:09 actually there is more tables not seen here, koha.shelfcontents, Unknown column 'virtualshelfcontents.itemnumber',
04:09 chris_n later bookshelf is renamed to virtualshelves
04:10 so it may be that that error can safetly be ignored
04:10 cj: did you look here: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30&s[]=update
04:11 cj not yet
04:12 chris_n that deals with a lot of db errors typically encountered during such an upgrade
04:12 ok, off to find sleep

13:43 gmcharlt hi schuster
13:43 jwagner G'morning schuster
13:43 jdavidb Verizon is *supposed* to be here sometime in the next eight hours to fix my DSL.  I'll believe it when I see it.
13:43 howdy, schuster!
13:44 jwagner Hey schuster, based on gmcharlt's message about your patch -- are you working in a git branch, or did you just copy the files to a different directory?
13:49 schuster hey ...  I'm learning and attempting to deal with my vendor situation to come up with a workaround to submit the patches.
13:51 gmcharlt schuster++
13:51 jwagner I can sympathize with the learning business -- I still only know the basics of git myself.  But it looked like you might have been trying to work in a new directory off master rather than creating a git branch.
13:52 Ask jdavidb how many times I tried editing in master rather than in a branch :-(
13:53 * jdavidb was about ready to tattoo "use git status!" on the back of jwagner's hand.  But enough harrumphing and growling, and she learned.  :)
13:53 schuster The system I was doing my editing on is a test system of 3.2 that I pulled and followed the directions so either way if it was a branch or Master didn't matter to me.  I then transfered the files to a live server to make the actual git transfer, and pondered about the problems I was creating...
13:57 jwagner See, I'm luckier.  I just get to ponder about the problems I'm creating for jdavidb :-)
13:57 nengard hello from under 2 feet of snow!!!
13:58 jwagner But maybe gmcharlt or jdavib can talk you through setting up a branch on your live server, before you try copying your modified files to their proper directories to remake the patch.
13:58 jdavidb Hi, nengard.  We had another foot yesterday, on top of the two feet from the weekend.  It's drifted up as high as my bedroom windows.
13:59 jwagner Hi, nengard.  Is that 2 feet of new snow?
13:59 nengard jwagner - no - 2 feet total
13:59 thank god!
13:59 jwagner We'll send you some of ours, then -- probably 3 feet or more outside right now.
13:59 collum joined #koha
14:00 schuster jwagner and jdavidb gmcharlt - well I'm going to attempt to "trick" the git on my "old" test server and hopefully when PTFS takes over I will have a better feeling for what and how this can all get setup.
14:00 Snowing in Dallas this morning we have about an inch expecting 3...

14:00 munin schuster: The current temperature in Brookview, Plano, Texas is 0.7�C (7:45 AM CST on February 11, 2010). Conditions: Light Snow. Humidity: 78%. Dew Point: -3.0�C. Windchill: 1.0�C. Pressure: 29.44 in 996.8 hPa (Falling). Winter Storm Warning in effect until midnight CST tonight...
14:01 collum I'm surprised you are at work.  I remember school getting called off for less than that.
14:01 schuster Then it may freeze over night so hard to tell what time I will make it to work tomorrow!  All the kids are praying for a snow day - parents are praying for a late start. as it is supposed to be 50 tomorrow afternoon!
14:01 gmcharlt schuster: if it would help, I can reformat the patch for you
14:01 jdavidb My daughter is a happy teenager right now--no school all week.  'course, come the end of june, and she's still in school, she won't be so happy.
14:02 schuster gmcharlt - let me play a little with the test server and resubmit and see what happens ok?

15:48 jdavidb yup.

16:34 gmcharlt owen: what's up?
16:35 owen If you could, take a look at how subtitles are getting pulled in opac-detail.pl line 207
16:35 nahuel left #koha
16:36 owen Contrast that with the way data is pulled for display on opac-user.pl: On opac-user.pl we're pulling biblio information via GetPendingIssues
16:38 I don't see how I can use the new GetRecordValue in conjunction with opac-user.pl to display subtitles since opac-user.pl doesn't use GetMarcBiblio
16:38 jwagner is now known as jw-shovels
16:38 * gmcharlt takes a look
16:38 jdavidb joined #koha
16:39 owen ...which makes me wonder if the job of pulling biblio data should be moved from GetPendingIssues and put in opac-user.pl
16:41 gmcharlt in an abstract sense, yes
16:41 the reason for doing it that way in GetPendingIssues is to avoid pulling and parsing the MARC blob
16:42 * owen gets frustrated by the myriad ways the user will see titles displayed in the OPAC
16:42 gmcharlt but since the GetRecordValue stuff isn't stored in the database or cached
16:42 going ahead and using GetMarcBiblio or the like instead is worth it, IMO, for the sake of consistency
16:43 as long as the changes are designed to ensure that a given MARCXML doesn't get parsed more than once during the opac-user.pl run
16:44 since GetPendingIssues does given you the bibnum
16:44 I suggest not changing that function itself
16:44 and just add code to opac-user.pl to bring in the bib and display it
16:45 just be sure to test performance if, say, the user has 100 items checked out
16:45 owen I may be getting in over my head. How do I test performance?
16:45 gmcharlt well, initially, with a stop watch
16:46 if the page takes 5 seconds to render now, but takes 15 seconds after you make your change ...

17:51 for
17:51 how was yours not working owen?
17:51 owen It was modifying the wrong columns in the items table. So if I was editing replacement cost, it would put the data I specified for replacement cost in the next column after it

17:56 wizzyrea it works but for that one (hopefully tiny!) thing
17:57 owen I don't think there is a bug report wizzyrea
17:58 wizzyrea with MARC21 records the changed field ends up changing one field after/below the intended field.
17:58 is that accurate?
17:59 or USMARC, I guess
17:59 gmcharlt ah, that explains what I saw when I glanced at it for all of 10 seconds yesterday

18:39 Sjeffery Is there a way to add a default value to cataloging framework fields? I can't seem to find it form the administraiton menu. Is it hardcoded somewhere?
18:39 fredericd chris: I'm looking misc/translator scripts and the whole process of generating .po files. Is the version number appended to .po filename required? Still required with git?
18:40 schuster Sjeffery - some of it is did you have something in particular you wanted to code?
18:46 Sjeffery My thought is to have default values in some fields so that our non-catalogers would have a better idea of what is supposed to go in a field and how it is supposed to be formatted. Maybe there is a better way than default text? For example: The 086 subfield which indicates the source/system will almost always have the exact same value for us.
18:46 Everything else in Koha looks good, but that MARC-based input screen will be a nightmare to train our people on (working on getting a migration to Koha approved at our library right now).
18:48 chris fredericd: no, not required, but i do find it handy sometimes .. but no with git and different branches, not required at all
18:48 Sjeffery: you can do it with authorised/authorized values
18:49 * chris is off to http://baacamp.org/ today, so cant explain properly but someone will be able to tell you how to set that up
18:49 goes to finish packing
18:49 Sjeffery Figures:)
18:50 jwagner Sjeffery, look at Home � Administration � MARC Frameworks �  Framework Structure � Tag 086 Subfield Structure � Edit subfields constraints , then click on display more constraints for a particular subfield.  You can enter a Default Value, or tie the subfield to an authorized value pick list.
18:51 You'd have to create the authorized value list separately.
18:52 Sjeffery Aha, great. I was in a slightly different menu.
18:52 tomascohen left #koha
18:53 Sjeffery I tihnk what I am going to do is create a framework for brief records with only half a dozen fields, all with example default text filled in. That way, in theory, anyone should be able to figure it out.
18:55 jwagner Sjeffery, that will be a LOT of work -- it's difficult to either create a framework or strip one down.  Have to do it one field at a time :-(  I did some work in that direction for one of our sites, but didn't complete it (they decided they didn't want it).
18:58 Sjeffery I'm just going to call that job security and not think about it for a while.
18:58 jwagner There's optimism for you!
18:59 Sjeffery Would you happen to know the method to do a dump from Koha used by OCLC to do a batch holdings update?
19:00 jwagner I don't, but various people were talking about that the other day.  Don't know if there is any method yet.
19:02 gmcharlt Sjeffery: there's a MARC bibliographic export tool under Tools
19:04 Sjeffery That is probably it. I don't know how OCLC does it, just was curious.
19:04 owen It would be appropriate to use Perltidy if I find a script that uses a mix of spaces and tabs for indentation?

19:12 from the koha root
19:13 perltidyc --pro=xt/perltidyrc name_of_file_you_want_to_tidy
19:14 that creates a new file with a .tdy extension, which you can then check and move into place
19:14 alternative, add a -b switch to edit the file in place; that will create a backup with a .bak extension

19:50 richard hi
19:50 braedon|work bigbrovar: you would need to configure the proxy to let the services you need through - not much you can do from the tool end (assuming the proxy is any good at what it does). What is the proxy set to let through/block?
19:52 slef left #koha
19:52 bigbrovar braedon|work: well all internet traffic http(s) and ftb have been routed to go through an http_proxy server. so port 80 has been blocked from the firewall
19:52 davi left #koha
19:53 bigbrovar braedon|work: the only way to connect to internet is to setup the proxy in my env or configure the internet app to use the proxy. (if it has such settings)
19:54 braedon|work is the proxy acting as a gateway to the internet? ie, does all traffic on any port have to pass through it z39.50
19:54 oops, ignore the z39.50
19:54 bigbrovar braedon|work: exactly
19:54 braedon|work ok
19:55 bigbrovar braedon|work: the proxy is the gate way to the internet
19:56 nengard left #koha
19:58 bigbrovar braedon|work: so any tip?
19:59 braedon|work the servers you are connecting to with z39.50 determine the port you need to use, obviously. I don't see an easy way around it other than asking your sys admin to allow access through the proxy on the ports required, for the conputer you are using
19:59 brendan joined #koha
20:00 braedon|work you could set up a tunnel to a computer you control past the proxy, but that requires the proxy to allow ssh

20:00 wizzyrea yea, a targeted firewall rule just for the ILS server is what you need
20:01 bigbrovar wizzyrea: am sure that can be done. I would have to sit down with the network admin.

20:12 biglego hmm i'm not using the template files in en i'm using them in en-NZ, is there away to switch to en?
20:13 chris in system preferences
20:14 biglego what am i looking for is system preference language?
20:14 chris yeah, in the opac and the staff bits
20:14 the other option, is mv the en-NZ dir out of the way :)
20:15 biglego its got en selected for staff and opac
20:17 chris right, what does your browser have selected as its preference?
20:17 (that will override)
20:18 wizzyrea hey, I win! there was an alternate set of templates you were using :)
20:18 not in the way I thought... but oh well
20:18 chris probably the easiest way for now, is just to mv the en-NZ ones out of the way
20:20 biglego says english, cool i'll move them thought I was going insane point wizzyrea
20:21 wizzyrea embarrassing admission: I've done similar things more times than I care to admit. :)

20:29 biglego i'm not embarrassed I was in the right directory all the time with my browser and sysprefs set to english and it was defaulting to en-NZ
20:30 i checked the install log and en is the choice selected
20:30 chris and your locale is not en-NZ
20:30 ?
20:30 it might be the code that tries to pick your language has a bug
20:31 wizzyrea oh, 3.0.4, maybe get 3.0.5?
20:31 biglego LANG=en_US.UTF-8
20:31 chris weird
20:32 biglego once I mv en-NZ to cursed-en-NZ it picked up my addition
20:32 chris heh
20:32 but now your spelling is all wrong :P
20:32 ok, meeting time, back later

20:35 biglego In the tools-home.tmpl and tools-menu.inc I see this before every link example <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="CAN_user_tools_inventory" -->
20:35 Do I need to create  <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="CAN_user_my_tool" --> somewhere?  Hopefully language doesn't come into play
20:35 right now I'm using <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="CAN_user_tools_inventory" -->
20:37 owen biglego: You're adding a new tool, is that right?
20:37 biglego yeah
20:37 gmcharlt biglego: there's a bit more to it - http://lists.koha.org/pipermai[…]ruary/005541.html - is an example of what's need to create a new permission
20:38 owen the other option being it could share the same permission as another tool if it made sense
20:38 ...but I guess each Tool has its own now hunh?
20:40 Jo joined #koha
20:42 biglego well at 3.04 the userflags table is a little bare, so I think I can skip that hunk of intimidation pasted by galen

21:30 Jo chris - can i ring you ?
21:30 chris yep
21:36 wizzyrea can anybody speak to the kind of load a, say 10-15 minute hold queue generation schedule would incur?
21:37 on a collection with 30 libraries and 600k+ items
21:37 (god... 30... really? wow!)
21:38 chris no idea sorry
21:41 magnus left #koha
21:53 seneca left #koha
21:53 schuster What do you mean by a 10-15 minute hold queue generation?
21:54 wizzyrea i mean regenerating the hold queue every 15 minutes
21:55 so when you click on hold queue for your library it's been maximum 14 minutes since it was generated
21:56 schuster hmmm guess this is a standard cron job that generally only runs once a day?
21:58 wizzyrea or twice a day
21:58 at least in our case
21:58 there are some funny things caused by timing/ignoring holds from the pick list
21:58 that I think might be mitigated by running the hold queue more often
21:58 but it would probably not be optimal for performance >.>
21:59 chris what you could od
21:59 do even
21:59 is run the holds queue on a slave db, and make koha use it
21:59 for that report
21:59 but that would involve trickery
21:59 wizzyrea gl getting that setup in our state of the art cloud environment
22:00 (even though that would probably make it easier to do)
22:00 chris heh yeah
22:00 wizzyrea I can concieve of a method of doing it in EC2, but I don't have the keys to our system (literally)
22:01 i like trickery >.>
22:04 schuster mines set to run ?hourly 52 in the cron job.
22:05 wizzyrea I think we might have started out running it that often... not sure why we stopped
22:05 schuster On my test system it took hardly no time to run so I don't think it would be a huge performace killer.
22:05 wizzyrea yea, you'd be a good test case, you have zillions of items :)
22:05 schuster And if you are clouded performance isn't your issue!
22:05 wizzyrea you would think that...
22:06 we have more issues than they like to admit
22:06 schuster I've messed with my system if you remind me on Tuesday I can restore it and run it again.  we have 1.2 million items, but not everyone is doing holds.
22:07 wizzyrea I'm going to have to think more about what I discovered today about the holds
22:08 schuster You have those fancy holds patches as well that I may not have...  that may impact this as well.
22:08 wizzyrea most of those are in community, 3.0.5 I thought
22:08 certainly we had all of that done by last june
22:09 I was verifying that http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3595
22:09 munin 04Bug 3595: normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Items seen at checkin should always go to 1st priority hold
22:09 wizzyrea was still a problem
22:09 and it is
22:09 schuster How nice for you...  I'm not there...  I think I'm 3.01.032? or 36
22:09 wizzyrea oh we're close to you
22:09 do you have the local holds stuff?
22:09 b/c that's what we had done
22:09 schuster Ah...  I'm working on getting a 3.2 instance up and running with a copy of my production database and maybe that will be done tomorrow.
22:10 wizzyrea we are at 37 on our production
22:11 but I was playing in 117
22:11 schuster I can't remember if I got local holds or not that you are talking about.  Seems like I got some but not all?  I'd have to go back and look again.  I don't think I got everything as localholds is still an issue for us.
22:11 wizzyrea it's still an issue for us too
22:11 schuster well - off to drive in the snow - 30 minutes any bets on how long it will take me to get home tonight?
22:11 wizzyrea some things still don't work very well
22:11 but I believe all are reported as community bugs
22:11 schuster Driving to work this morning - snow not frozen - 45 mpg zone people driving 20... augh...
22:12 wizzyrea yikes
22:12 schuster: we haven't gotten the fixes that were promised us to be done in september.
22:12 for local holds
22:12 schuster tomorrow will be the true test how frozen things are in the morning...  you will probably hear a lot from me as I am betting school will be called and then Saturday it is supposed to get up to 50 degrees - wet and mushy...
22:13 wizzyrea mmmm mushy
22:13 schuster yes I have paid for things that I have not gotten yet either...  has someone talked to John Yokely from your institution about that? Make sure they are on the development list to be done.
22:13 wizzyrea idk, my boss has a list of concerns that he is sending
22:14 i'm sure stuff we've paid for and not gotten is on it
22:14 as well as "for god's sake don't make us do LEK"
22:15 schuster well off I go!

22:15 drive safely :) I'm sure you will :)
22:27 braedon|work how often does the "install_misc/ubuntu.packages" list get updated? i have quite a few additions for master
22:30 or perhaps it would be better to ask: Who manages the ubuntu install guide, and package list?
22:30 chris whoever sends patches to it :)
22:30 its a free for all

23:46 Genji hiya all.
23:48 braedon|work hi there
23:49 Genji question, getRecord retrieves results async'ly... meaning server 1's results could get processed after server 2's results are processed by the  ZOOM::event while loop, correct?
23:53 so to try and tack the second query results under the first query results could end up with the second query results on top of the first query results?
