02:16 yhager chris: :) I love arch, but I know it is not very popular
02:17 jcamins yhager: actually, everyone other than me on my other IRC channel uses Arch. I just told them to go install Koha.
02:19 chris jcamins: http://twitter.com/#!/wizzyrea/status/27597458373
02:21 jcamins chris: I'm pretty blase about scary landings after flying from Kabul to Moscow via Baku. :P
02:22 Though I'll grant that it would be a lot worse with a little one.
02:23 (interestingly, although I'm blase about the landings, I can't stand being in the air)
02:23 chris we have some good landings
02:24 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v[…]0&feature=related
02:27 jcamins Wow... that looks exactly like my landing in Baku felt.
02:29 chris short runway
02:29 that gets crosswinds
02:29 fun and games :)
02:30 * jcamins reconsiders NZ briefly, but decides he still wants to go
02:30 jcamins And on that note, it's time to get some sleep so I can write a simplified cataloging interface tomorrow.
02:30 Good night, #koha.

15:33 reminds me
15:33 I have to set up the connection to my public repo
15:34 jcamins I guess I should probably upgrade.
15:34 I wonder what version of Ubuntu I have.
15:34 cait so far it worked ok
15:35 I installed it from git, didn't use the packages
15:35 jcamins Yeah, I'll be installing from git, too.
15:36 9.10.

15:40 cait cookie?
15:40 *shares some chocolate chip cookies with jcamins to shorten the wait*
15:40 jcamins :)
15:42 It says you shouldn't run an upgrade under SSH.
15:44 It doesn't say anything about not upgrading under screen.

16:32 indradg joined #koha
16:33 chris ohh attacking galen on the public lists
16:33 ptfs--
16:34 jcamins Well, there's why they feel we need a foundation.
16:34 chris the release took a while cos liblime went spastic half way through it, way to take responsibility amy
16:35 i see 1/ as a valid reason, the rest a foundation is not needed for
16:36 and in fact the rest are all unenforcable, and show a misunderstanding of how free software works
16:36 jcamins Oh, I wasn't addressing the validity of the reasons, just saying, "there they are."
16:37 chris ah well, that was my last email on the thread, im over it now
16:37 exactly 1 week to kohacon :)
16:37 jcamins Lucky.
16:38 Did you see the video of the Brooklyn Space Program launch?
16:38 Nothing to do with Koha, but incredibly cool.
16:39 And dizzying.
16:39 chris :)
16:39 indradg chris, pm?
16:39 chris anytime indradg :)
16:39 jcamins chris: You should do this with your kids! http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2[…]id_send_ipho.html
16:39 cait hi chris
16:39 chris cept not with an iphone :)
16:39 jcamins Well, no.
16:39 indradg hi cait
16:40 jcamins Open source all the way.
16:40 cait hi indradg :)
16:40 * cait checking the mailing list now
16:40 * indradg is happy that the big, fat holiday season is almost over
16:41 chris jcamins: it is a great idea though :)
16:41 hiya cait .... 2 days to go?
16:41 jcamins I want to do that with my kid, and I don't even want kids.
16:41 cait yeah
16:42 doing laundry now and gathering things on my table
16:42 chris was real rainy yesterday and last night
16:42 you can ask wizzyrea :)
16:43 cait I envy her
16:43 have you met for lunch?
16:43 * jcamins does too
16:43 chris the weather is supposed to be nicer by the end of the week
16:43 cait: today hopefully
16:43 * indradg really missing attending KohaCon this year... :(
16:43 chris she only arrived yesterday afternoon, and i was at a school fair
16:44 but ill sneak out from work for lunch
16:44 well, wont sneak out, dont need to, but will go out for lunch hehe
16:44 indradg lol
16:45 cait :)
16:45 can't I skip the travel part and just wake up at nz tomorrow?
16:46 hmpf. we really need beamers
16:47 chris hehe
16:48 jcamins chris: can HLT not steward property?
16:49 chris yup
16:49 they were voted to do just that
16:49 jcamins Okay, that was a terribly worded question on my part.
16:49 chris being a registered charitable trust, its incredibly hard for them to break their charter, so they are a good steward
16:50 jcamins Am I correct in believing that HLT can legally steward community property?
16:50 Okay, that's what I thought.
16:50 chris yus you are correct
16:50 jcamins Excellent.
16:55 chris the strange thing to me
16:55 is an idea that a foundation can magically provide 'governance'
16:55 cait every time I hear we need governance I feel a bit sick
16:56 chris yeah me too
16:56 i hear 'I want to be in charge'
16:56 whenever i hear that
16:56 cait I hear barriers
16:56 rules
16:57 indradg jcamins, being from India, and sharing similar jurisprudence structures... i can concur that reg charitable trust would have to be "reborn" to override their MoA and bylaws
16:58 cait making
16:59 chris cait: yup, rules that are unenforcable, but by existing provide barriers
16:59 cait yep
16:59 thx, was fighting for words :)
17:00 chris :)
17:00 if you look at ohloh
17:00 cait I like the every person 1 vote
17:00 chris me too
17:00 indradg +1
17:00 chris no special favours
17:00 i agree with slef on that totall
17:00 y
17:02 https://www.ohloh.net/p/koha/factoids/
17:02 that second factoid
17:02 that tells me we are already very inclusive and all i can see by adding a bunch of rules is we would lose that
17:03 https://www.ohloh.net/p/koha/factoids/3837441  direct link
17:04 slef cait++ beamers
17:05 and please don't cite ohloh on the list, else I might reopen the liblime-relabelling-commit-authors period ;-)
17:05 chris heh
17:05 cait ok, it's perhas a good idea not to ask? ;)
17:05 chris they actually did that?
17:06 slef Yeah, just before liblime went silent. I did look for an example a few days ago, but I gave up. Much better that I get on reconciling 3.0.x.coop with 3.0.x
17:07 chris ah well
17:07 slef I think it was if a patch was in the BTS and not emailed but I could be wrong.
17:07 chris http://git.koha-community.org/[…]ster/authors.html
17:07 slef So probably incompetence rather than malice, but still...
17:09 I suspect you can find a mailing list post with me whinging about it if you look hard enough (might have been koha-manage when that was still live), but it was from a time when I was whinging far too much (I blame forker's pain) so it might be very hard.
17:09 gmcharlt chris: would appreciate testing of the patch I just pushed for 3164
17:09 slef bbl
17:10 * chris looks
17:10 slef (I'm packing. Not going well.)
17:10 cait gmcharlt++
17:10 chris slef: layers!
17:10 and a rainproof jacket :)
17:10 * cait is listening to the washing machine
17:10 chris ohh cool
17:10 cait does that count as packing too?
17:11 chris i cant recall who was talking about that here
17:11 cait me
17:11 chris but thats easy to test
17:11 cait probably, if you are talking about the bug :)
17:11 * chris goes to look now
17:11 cait it's one of the top of my list, breaking an existing feature
17:12 chris ahh the old trailing slash
17:12 good spotting

17:29 gmcharlt slef: is there a bug number associated with your enh_bulkmarcimport pull request?
17:29 chris slef: wind/water proof jacket is the main thing
17:30 its very changable, cos of the geography, it can start out gorgeous end up windy and rainy
17:30 so i always tell people to bring things they can layer, take some off, put it back on :)
17:30 cait but I think too warm for arctic gear?

18:21 wizzyrea_ :) supposed to clear off in the afternoon
18:21 or at least not rain
18:22 chris yeah, dont count on it :)
18:22 i reckon its more an indoors than outdoors day :( whatcha got planned?
18:24 wizzyrea_ te papa and area, I think
18:24 chris good idea
18:25 i can thoroughly recommend the musuem of city and sea too
18:25 wizzyrea_ we went to the library yesterday ( we got in before our room was ready, we asked the girl at the desk where to go, she said "the library's just around the corner, not glam..." and we were like "perfect!"
18:25 chris if its dry enough to walk along the waterfront to it from te papa
18:25 wizzyrea_ yea, we did drowned rat yesterday
18:25 :)
18:26 * wizzyrea_ saw lots of umbrella victims
18:26 chris hehe yeah
18:27 they dont work in wellington
18:27 wizzyrea_ I remembered someone
18:27 * wizzyrea_ 's tweet about that
18:27 cait hi wizzyrea :)
18:28 I am envious that you are already there :)
18:34 hdl joined #koha
18:34 jcamins Time to set up Koha on my desktop.
18:36 Hm. ubuntu.packages hasn't been updated.
18:42 Is there a reason not to just use apt-get-debian-lenny on Ubuntu?
18:43 * jcamins decides to find out
18:44 jcamins Yes. It doesn't work.
18:48 cait: how did you install Koha under Ubuntu?
18:49 Did you follow INSTALL.ubuntu?
18:49 cait oh
18:49 I followed my own notes mostly
18:49 a mixture from the debian and ubuntu installation notes
18:50 jcamins Ah.
18:50 chris Well that was fast
18:50 Kahu: I can eat by myself, don't miss your bus daddy
18:50 cait cute :)
18:50 chris And atarau is still asleep
18:51 Easy morning
18:52 brendan heh - hoping I have some of those coming ;)
18:53 chris Well its taken nearly 4 years :)
18:54 jcamins Cool, if you remove libzebra-2.0, apt-get-debian-lenny.sh works.
18:54 hdl D-2
18:55 chris hdl: woot!
18:55 wizzyrea_ jcamins: that's actually really good news
18:55 did you put in the apt sources for zebra?
18:56 they might be slightly different for ubuntu
18:56 jcamins Nope. Don't have to do that for Ubuntu.
18:56 wizzyrea_ ah then that's why
18:56 chris Or squeeze
18:56 In fact its messy if you do
19:02 jcamins HTTP::OAI... is that part of some other package?
19:02 chris Nope
19:02 At least I don't think so
19:03 jcamins Okay.
19:03 chris libhttp-oai-perl maybe?
19:03 jcamins By the way, Ubuntu has packages for a bunch of Perl modules.
19:03 (that Debian doesn't)
19:03 chris Squeeze does
19:04 Cos lars and robin packaged them
19:04 That's how unbuntu got em
19:04 jcamins Ah.
19:04 Cool!
19:05 chris And wellington prooves what I was saying
19:05 Its now blue skies and sun
19:06 Crazy place
19:12 brendan "don't like the weather - wait a minute"  (that's what it was like where I grew up)

19:17 munin indradg: The current temperature in Kolkata, India is 27.0�C (12:50 AM IST on October 18, 2010). Conditions: Haze. Humidity: 89%. Dew Point: 25.0�C. Pressure: 29.77 in 1008 hPa (Steady).
19:17 chris Ok my stop
19:17 Bbiab
19:17 indradg jcamins, nice mail :)
19:18 slef weather here is: "if you can see crook peak, it's about to rain. If you can't see crook peak, it's already raining."
19:21 http://commons.wikimedia.org/w[…]rg.uk_-_43849.jpg
19:24 jcamins Okay, why isn't this workin?
19:24 slef http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1793805 is a better view of it.
19:24 jcamins: because it's broken.
19:25 jcamins slef: no, because Koha defaulted to link-local only for koha-httpd.conf.
19:25 slef jcamins: you mean only 127.0.0.1?
19:26 jcamins Right.
19:26 All fixed.
19:26 slef jcamins: your hostname setup is broken then.
19:26 jcamins Oh. I guess it's not all fixed, then.
19:27 Any idea how I go about fixing that?
19:29 richard joined #koha
19:29 richard hi
19:29 slef jcamins: Not sure on ubuntu. I think the underlying problem is something to do with the order of names in your /etc/hosts
19:30 jcamins: I'd need to remember what the method I lifted from perlfaq actually did in the installer to figure out your IP address.  What does hostname --fqdn say for you?
19:30 jcamins jcamins-desktop
19:30 slef jcamins: I mean, this is theoretical neatness. If you edit the httpd.conf, it'll work fine until you reinstall.
19:31 jcamins: ok, that's not a Fully Qualified Domain Name, so I think something's not right, you see?
19:31 jcamins Oh, I set this up before I had my domain.
19:31 I'll make it jcamins-desktop.cpbibliography.com.
19:32 slef jcamins: I think it needs to be the first entry for 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts but I could be wrong.
19:33 jcamins okay. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
19:33 I'm sure I can figure it out.
19:33 slef np - this is subtle misconfiguration, but it's the only way the installer can autodetect the primary IP
19:34 If you want to install on some other webserver IP, do export WEBSERVER_IP=123.45.67.890 or whatever before running Makefile.PL
19:34 jcamins Oh, I think I see what the problem is.
19:34 When I installed VirtualBox, I configured a separate loopback interface.
19:38 All fixed.
19:43 Yay! I now have a working Koha installation.
19:44 chris back
19:45 jcamins Oh, stupid. No wonder things don't look quite right.
19:45 * jcamins forgot to change branches
19:46 darling joined #koha
19:48 jcamins Cool, it's possible to check out my rebased branch directly off of my other server.
19:49 ... is that considered a bad idea?
19:50 slef indradg: thanks for the email message. I smiled when reading it.

20:09 well, it|s just 10.20 pm
20:09 jcamins chris: any idea if "libtemplate-perl" is Template::Toolkit?
20:10 chris http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libtemplate-perl
20:10 gmcharlt jcamins: aptitude show libtemplate-perl
20:10 hdl chris hi
20:10 gmcharlt says yes
20:10 chris yup
20:10 i cheat and munge urls
20:10 jcamins Cool, thanks.
20:11 chris heya hdl
20:11 hdl documentation list, why not,
20:11 chris yeah, makes sense eh
20:11 hdl But should patches be different from koha-patches ?
20:11 A simple different tag could be enough.
20:11 indradg is now known as indradg|Z
20:11 chris i think they will get a bit lost on koha-patches
20:12 gmcharlt hdl: up to preference of the doc manager, but I'd prefer that they go to a separate list rather than to one person
20:12 chris and people who want to do docs, might not want to subscribe to that
20:12 koha-patches is quite high traffic, which is great :)
20:12 * indradg|Z goes off to sleep...all the best to everyone now in NZ or getting there :)
20:12 chris night indradg|Z
20:12 hdl see you indradg|Z
20:13 I didn't mean it to be directly sent to nicole.
20:13 But maybe to koha-patches.
20:13 But yes, it is high traffic.
20:14 chris and ppl who send doc patches might be happier just subscriber to a list just about docs (including patches)
20:14 hdl ok.
20:14 wizzyrea_ I bet nicole is ecstatic that people are contributing patches to the manual
20:14 chris hey, go sightseeing!
20:14 gmcharlt since both discussion of docs and doc patches are currently low traffic
20:15 wizzyrea_ we are, we came home for breakfast (went to the market, then came home to eat, because we forgot spud's blue blankie and he was a mess without it)
20:15 gmcharlt having a koha-docs list whose remit includes patches would be my recommendation
20:15 hdl @later tell nengard please, tell me which name you want for your koha-documentation list.
20:15 munin hdl: The operation succeeded.
20:15 gmcharlt if tens or hundreds of doc patches start getting sent monthly, then a separate list could be spun off
20:15 * jcamins feels very daunted by Template::Toolkit
20:15 jcamins hdl: nengard just replied.
20:15 chris wizzyrea_: ahh good :) so you were about 1 block away from my work when you were at the market
20:15 hdl @later tell nengard and we'll setthat up
20:15 munin hdl: The operation succeeded.
20:16 darling jcamins, Template::Toolkit is really a bit of fun once you get it set up
20:16 gmcharlt jcamins: fear not - Template::Toolkit is actually a lot easier to use in practice than the initial documnetation might imply
20:16 chris jcamins: its actually not that bad at all, ill tell ya what, ill teach cait at teh dev conference
20:16 wizzyrea_ !!!
20:16 chris and she can teach you
20:16 jcamins Fair enough.
20:16 hdl koha-docs then
20:16 cait yay :)
20:16 ok, what will you teach me?
20:16 chris how template toolkit isnt scary
20:16 wizzyrea_ hey, teach me too, because I've always wanted to know
20:17 cait ok :)
20:17 jcamins I guess that means I should start on the other aspect of my simple cataloging interface...
20:17 * cait takes a note
20:17 chris oh and wizzyrea_ :)
20:17 cait to remind you ;)
20:17 chris jcamins: we have a student working on a script to convert html::template to template::toolkit
20:17 so dont let the change stop you working on that
20:17 jcamins chris: I know, but I have no idea how to use either, so I might as well start on the new one, right?
20:18 chris its true :)
20:18 magnus chris: i'll take a piece of that too, if i may ;-)
20:19 chris its a deal!
20:19 i might make darling teach you !
20:19 darling http://template-toolkit.org/do[…]tutorial/Web.html
20:20 * magnus has fiddled a bit with TT before, but nothing big
20:20 darling we use it for http://www.stuff.co.nz/
20:20 cait |Lupin| wrote me he really likes Template Toolkit and that it's much better than what we use now :)
20:21 darling we cache the heck out of it tho
20:21 chris which we will be able to do some of, at least lots of component caching
20:22 darling wizzyrea_, you really should get outside, try spotting penguins in the harbour (I never seen one there but everyone else has)
20:24 jcamins Is it my imagination, or is creating a new page on the Wiki completely non-intuitive?
20:24 * wizzyrea_ headed out now, see y'all later :)
20:24 wizzyrea_ I had the same prob jcamins
20:24 chris cya in 2.5 hours
20:24 jcamins Enjoy the penguins!
20:25 magnus new page: create a link to it or search for it?
20:26 jcamins Yeah, but if I hadn't been told that, I don't think I would've been able to figure it out.
20:26 magnus how do you think it should work then? ;-)
20:26 jcamins I think there should be a "New page" button.
20:28 magnus i guess the idea is that you should create pages by creating links to them, that way there are no orphans... but then again my brain has adapted to mediawiki big time
20:29 jcamins Then there should be a note on *every page* to tell you to create a link if you want to add a page.
20:30 magnus :-)
20:33 jcamins Does anyone object to ASCIIart UI mockups?
20:34 (in RFCs)
20:35 magnus g'night #koha - see some of you soon!
20:35 magnus left #koha
20:35 cait good night magnus :)
20:35 ah, too slow again
20:39 darling jcamins, I like ascii art for mockups but it does have some drawbacks

21:32 jcamins Cool! I didn't know the hammer-and-sickle was part of the Unicode specification.
21:32 darling is there a unicode char for kiwi holding a hammer+sickle and eating a pie?
21:34 robin darling: no. There's this, which isn't anything like that though: ☃

21:58 jcamins http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]aloging_interface
21:59 Did this make it into Harley: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_improvements_RFC
22:00 chris harley?
22:01 hmm
22:01 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]arley_Integration
22:01 dont see it
22:01 the rule of thumb for those is
22:01 if they were on the wiki .. its 99% they wont be in harley, PTFS did most of harley ebfore they bought liblime
22:02 if that is anywhere
22:02 its in LEK
22:02 any LL rfc that isnt in 3.2 will most likely not be anywhere except LEK
22:02 * chris hopes he has clarified not confused
22:03 jcamins No, it made sense.
22:03 I guess I won't be salvaging a massively unproductive weekend by rebasing that onto Master.
22:03 chris LEK has never, and if you read the statements around, probably never will have a release
22:03 nope
22:04 * jcamins sighs
22:04 jcamins Weekends.
22:04 chris if you wanted to play with rebasing things, after kohacon i can give you a pile :-)
22:05 jcamins Not really, I was just thinking of something useful I could do that would get me closer to a simple cataloging interface after spending an entire day not accomplishing anything.
22:06 chris ahhh
22:06 i tell you what i do
22:06 and you might have done this already
22:06 draw things
22:06 on a whiteboard, and take photos
22:06 then mockup in simple html the interface
22:07 it helps spot things ive missed
22:07 and provides a base others can help with too
22:08 and it makes me feel productive :-)
22:08 jcamins Perhaps I'll try that.
22:20 richard left #koha
22:21 cait chris++ :)
22:21 chris ?
22:21 cait can you teach me (or tell someone to teach me) the workflow with my new public git repo the main repo and my dev isnstall :)
22:21 for good advice to jcamins :)
22:21 chris ahh i can certainly show you that
22:22 cait cool :)
22:22 chris im gonna to ask tim, who is the level7 git guru to help
22:22 cait :)
22:23 looking at the sentence above... I think it must be getting late

22:27 chris hee
22:27 http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz[…]12/american-talk/
22:27 apparently its very similair to thai :)
22:28 jcamins :)
22:28 I had no idea.
22:29 cait airport_websites--
22:29 chris heh
22:29 which one are you looking up?
22:30 cait zürich and london atm
22:30 chris ahh
22:30 heathrow?
22:30 richard joined #koha
22:30 cait yes
22:30 chris i found it pretty easy to get around, big though
22:31 cait I had problems with heathrow the last time - because I didn't know there was a shuttle something to the other terminal
22:31 chris have never been to zurich airport, been to zurich .. but on the train
22:31 ahh yeah, that could be tricky
22:31 jcamins Ah, Heathrow.
22:31 cait I have not much time to find my way between flights this time
22:31 chris cait: the main thing is, dont be scared/nervous to ask people
22:32 cait yep
22:32 chris the worst they can do is not know :)
22:32 but usually they are helpful
22:32 cait I promised myself to ask ask ask... ;)
22:33 chris also, lots of airline staff speak lots of languages
22:33 cait but feeling prepared helps to not be so nervous
22:33 chris they usually wear pins on their clothes, with the flags
22:33 cait I learned yesterday slef and his wife can speak German
22:33 chris slef can speak lots
22:33 hes a pretty smart guy
22:34 cait :)
22:34 they are arriving on 21st too
22:34 chris and now, i must go meet wizzyrea for lunch
22:34 ohh excellent
22:34 cait :)
22:34 have fun!
22:53 jcamins Why am I getting a 500 error with this new script I created?
22:54 It has something to do with this weird DocumentRoot.
22:55 Ah.
22:55 No it doesn't.
22:58 Okay, it was because you're supposed to print the Content-type.
23:06 I should respond to Abdullah-Al-Modabber's query.
23:07 Seing as how I just did that.

23:29 Has anyone ever *tested* the language dropdown in the advanced search?
23:30 CGI969 left #koha
23:44 cait jcamins: no; but I think there is a quite new bug report about it
23:45 I think I used jquery to hide it...
23:45 jcamins Well, I didn't see one so I created a new bug.
23:46 What a mess! No wonder it doesn't seem to work.
23:46 Lots of the languages don't have any values specified at all!
23:48 cait hm?
23:48 jcamins Wait, what are you doing awake?
23:48 cait you start to sound like chris...
23:48 but the "mein gott" is missing :)
23:49 I arrived in sydney with my flight reasearch
23:49 jcamins Anyway, you can't limit by Finnish at all, because it just adds "ln,rtdl:" to the query.
23:49 cait oh
23:49 but Finnish is in the list? that's odd
23:50 jcamins Yup.
23:51 And Armenian uses the wrong code (well, there are two codes for Armenian).
23:53 cait *shudders*
23:54 jcamins And French and English both only work because languages like Afrikaans are pretty uncommon in Koha libraries.
23:54 cait hmpf
23:55 I forgot to file my enh request about a missing option to limit to serials
23:55 jcamins Wait a minute.
23:55 cait we can limit to all sorts of things, but not to serials
23:55 jcamins What's this?
23:56 Ah-ha.
23:57 cait hm?
23:57 you make me curious!
23:57 jcamins subtag_registry.sql.
23:57 I have now decided I don't want to know what it is.
23:57 My new plan is to back away slowly with a soothing expression on my face.
23:57 gmcharlt jcamins: it's an attempt at a language code registry
23:58 C4::Languages is a mess in general; completely replacing it would be a niceness
23:58 * cait nominates jcamins ;)
23:58 gmcharlt the volunteer has been drafted^Wfound
23:58 ;)
23:58 cait I looked at it while working on the German installer, it's really confusing
23:58 * jcamins thinks probably someone who is fluent in languages other than English should be the one doing it.
23:58 jcamins Ooh, I know someone who speaks other languages!
23:59 * jcamins nominates cait
23:59 * cait hides
23:59 cait too slow...
23:59 jcamins But that explains why the dropdown is broken.
