00:00 pianohacker From what I can tell looking at the source, it did exactly what it was supposed to
00:00 ronald left #koha
00:00 pianohacker does everything look alright in your catalog?
00:01 adnc i did some random check, that looks great
00:01 pianohacker, thank you very much!
00:01 pianohacker No problem. Let us know if we can help you with anything else
00:02 adnc pianohacker, do you know if amazon is the only source for book covers?
00:02 is it possible to upload covers?
00:02 pianohacker There's actually a few you can use in Koha at the moment, though unfortunately you can not upload your own, as far as I know
00:04 ronald joined #koha
00:05 pianohacker adnc: More specifically, Google is another free option, and you can use Syndetics and Baker & Taylor, though you probably have to pay for them
00:05 adnc pianohacker, is it possible to force koha to send notification email out to see if that works with the mailserver?
00:06 pianohacker The only reliable way I know of to test notifications is to trigger them yourself. That's not too hard, though; you can change the due date of a checkout in the issues table, then run the overdue items notification script, for example
00:07 adnc 02:10:02-12/05 zebraidx(17930) [warn] isamb: Inconsistent register (2)
00:07 zebraidx: isamb.c:1102: insert_leaf: Assertion `*lookahead_mode' failed.
00:07 02:10:02-12/05 zebraidx(17932) [warn] previous transaction didn't reach commit
00:07 thats new
00:09 pianohacker That is... bizarre
00:09 Only suggestion I have for that bit of zebra weirdness is to reindex your catalog
00:09 scl joined #koha
00:09 adnc i did execute that command manually
00:10 koha-rebuild-zebra $(koha-list --enabled)
00:10 the warning does not come again
00:10 pianohacker, how does reindexing work?
00:10 pianohacker How do you mean?
00:11 adnc you said: Only suggestion I have for that bit of zebra weirdness is to reindex yo
00:11 r catalog
00:14 NateC left #koha
00:20 pianohacker Well, rebuild-zebra will update zebra's catalog
00:21 You can also do a full reindex, which will delete the search index (not losing any of your data), then rebuild it from scratch
00:21 Often a solution to zebra problems
00:22 ronald left #koha
00:22 pianohacker adnc: You do it using koha-rebuild-zebra -f $(koha-list --enabled)

06:35 Susan good day everyone
06:35 rangi bonjour alex_a, ca va?
06:35 Susan Hope someone is awake and knows SIP 2 + 3M SelfCheck System
06:36 I have already configured SIP 2 Server on port 8041 + configured the 3M SelfCheck system to have all the valid information
06:37 however, I keep on getting [Circulation System Operation Failure - uinspecified error]
06:37 and the weird thing is I have already attempted to TELNET from the 3M SelfCheck - Windows command line and that works perfectly fine
06:37 in communicating with my SIP server.
06:38 I have even modified my 3M configurations to match http://lclpioneer.wordpress.co[…]o-work-with-koha/
06:38 but no use :) any help, would be highly appreciated :)
06:38 alex_a rangi: ca va trés bien !

08:27 * Oak hugs druthb
08:27 druthb :)  thanx!  What'd I do to earn that?
08:37 Oak :)
08:38 druthb (not that I'm complaining.  Nice to wake up to hugs.)
08:39 Oak hehe
08:41 * druthb is wondering...Oak, are you planning to go to KohaCon this fall?
08:42 Oak in India... nope.
08:42 druthb Rats.
08:43 Oak nah
08:43 no money
08:43 * druthb nods.
08:43 druthb If my employer wasn't sending me, I wouldn't be going, it's likely.  But when bg asked me if I wanted to go...well, yeah, boss, I do....  :P
08:44 * druthb is looking forward to meeting folks from that side of the Earth.
08:45 Oak hmm, I don't work in a library (yet)... doing my MLIS. but someday I hope I'll be able to attend. And meet the nice people from this channel.
08:46 druthb :)  I hope to meet you some day, too.
08:46 Oak cool :)
08:47 * druthb has thought about going back to school for an MLS/MLIS, but at this point, it doesn't make much sense to do so.
08:49 * Oak read Careers for Bookworms and decided to do MLIS :) http://goo.gl/Mj2rl
08:50 druthb :)
08:51 Oak although I work as a web developer, working in Joomla, CSS ... little PHP
08:51 and want to learn Perl so I can help someday with Koha... but don't find time
08:52 druthb If you speak PHP, Perl won't be too hard to pick up.
08:52 adnc which barcode format can koha handle?
08:53 druthb adnc: Whatever your scanner will handle.  The way things are set up, to Koha--and to your PC--it looks like another keyboard, is all.  The magic-of-the-barcode part is all handled by your scaner.
08:53 Code39 is commonest, at least in my part of the world, but there's nothing holy about that.
08:53 adnc yes, but i think i saw some code39 stuff
08:53 right
08:54 druthb :)
08:54 adnc druthb, thanks
08:55 druthb you bet. :)

12:52 tajoli joined #koha
12:55 Ropuch Hi oleonard, nengard
12:55 nengard howdy
12:56 tajoli hi to all
12:57 about QA and sign-off
12:58 What do you think about create A-developers and B-developers ?
12:58 A-developers = you can auto-sign_off
12:58 nengard Why? Why have different rules? No one is special - like I said. Also you should reply on list so that the thread isn't broken
12:59 tajoli B-developer:  a person of an other firm need to sign_off your patch
12:59 oleonard I agree with nengard. No one's work is free from errors.
12:59 druthb Find me an A-developer that never, ever makes an error, tajoli.  That's what it'd take for your plan to *not* harm Koha.
13:00 nengard We're all human, we all make mistakes, we all mis semi-colons - no one should have the ability to bypass the quality assurance steps in place
13:00 druthb Might not hurt anything this week, or next.  But some night when some guru has gotten real tired---they could break things *horribly.*
13:02 tajoli Ok, i write to mailing list
13:06 druthb The other problem, tajoli, with such a scheme is "who decides?"  We don't really have a Pope, or some other central authority--so who decides who is an A and who is B?  And how do you prevent someone from being greatly pissed when they get turned down for "A" status?  Down that way leads heartaches and much, much drama that this community does not need, IMO.
13:07 hdl druthb: this 'community' is not just about developers.
13:07 It is about libraries.
13:07 druthb I personally would *decline* "A" status.  I know too well that I am not perfect, and I *want* a second set of eyeballs on my work.
13:07 hdl And some libraris which have had some code in production for years.
13:07 druthb sure it is, hdl; but are libraries served well by letting my late-night bad ideas into the code?
13:07 tajoli The Relese manager si the prson that give A/B status
13:07 hdl Which could not make its way to trunk
13:08 tajoli Also I.
13:08 I don't see myself as  A developer
13:08 In fact A-developer are in fact vice QA
13:09 I see this organization on BSD
13:09 develper with commit bit, developers without commit bit
13:12 hdl druthb: it is not only late night ideas. It is code delivered.... And libraries who wanted the code to be contributed... And late changes in the workflow.
13:13 sekjal joined #koha
13:13 hdl I donot want to argue. I want to put the libraries concerns in the center of the place.
13:15 druthb My concern for the libraries is also strong, hdl--specifically, I do not ever, ever want to risk giving them severely busted code and having Koha looking bad for it.  To me, that means paying gobs more attention to the backend than we were doing prior to 3.4.  I don't see this change as "late".  I see it as *essential* to the long-term health of Koha.
13:16 * sekjal goes to read the IRC logs...
13:17 druthb Even the *slightest* risk of that is, to me, unacceptable, having worked in a library whose vendor routinely put out seriously-broken releases.
13:17 paul_p well, to jump in the discussion: BibLibre patches/features are not written by a developper, but by a company, validated by someone internally and by the customer itself. It's not "paul" that is A-dev, it's "BibLibre workflow"
13:18 hdl ok. about all the bugs in holds and circulation and research, i think that they will exist untill someone devote time and hard work on that.
13:19 We devoted time, and hard work on that. And proposed that as a contribution, if no one wants that... Then ok.
13:19 druthb Sure, paul, and ByWater signs off internally, as well.  But it still comes down to a person at a keyboard.  ByWater, Inc doesn't write patches.  sekjal, nengard, druthb, bg, etc...do.  An internal process can help catch those flubs--but it's *never* perfect.
13:19 hdl We donot use internal sign off.
13:19 We use branches.
13:19 And merges.
13:20 And this is why we are not 'signing off' our own patches.
13:20 sekjal hdl: but multiple eyes in within BibLibre are confirming that the code works as intended?
13:20 hdl And I would think quite wrong to autosign off...
13:20 Yep.
13:20 druthb hdl:  so, you're telling me that before the code is released, it doesn't have a second set of eyes on it, to test it?
13:20 hdl devloper, project manager, library
13:20 * druthb is perhaps confused.
13:21 hdl that makes at least 3 persons.
13:21 sekjal okay, so if someone is confirming that it works, then that's essentially a signoff.  it just needs the -s flag on format-patch (at technicality)
13:21 hdl .... ask librarians to use the command line client to use git....
13:22 paul_p sekjal++ (except our project manager or customers will never use git)
13:22 oleonard But the question is are they seeing the effect of one patch, or a lot of patches working together?
13:22 hdl It is easier to have bugzilla or our mantis solved.
13:22 paul_p left #koha
13:22 paul_p joined #koha
13:22 hdl some patches working together..
13:22 paul_p (sorry, keyboard mistake)
13:23 hdl many times, you need more than a single patch to get exactly what is required.
13:23 sekjal hdl:  could you have a git user act as a proxy for the project manager?  project manager says "yup, that's good, sign off for me" and someone types the right thing on the keyboard?
13:23 paul_p oleonard, it depends. If you speak of solR, for example, they  test a full branch.
13:24 when speaking of a feature, usually, they test master+FT1+FT2+FT3 merged in a branch called customer
13:24 hdl sekjal: we are using merge workflow. and rebasing is breaking the commit ids.
13:24 sijobl joined #koha
13:25 oleonard paul_p: So the question is can FT1 be tested properly just on its own? Is it feature-specific enough that it *can* be tested properly?
13:25 hdl I donot claim we have the better workflow. But it works. And we could have that for the comunity as well... With instances ppl could just go and test on jenkins.koha-community.org.
13:25 paul_p oleonard, I think we can say yes.
13:25 koha-sandbox++ !!!
13:26 oleonard It sounds to me like koha-sandbox is just going to mix together a bunch of stuff in such a way that no one knows what is being tested.
13:27 hdl not if you create one vhost by bug... and with one branch.
13:27 sekjal each bug/feature needs to be on it's own branch, and testable independently.  if it takes multiple commits to write it, fine, we can squash, but mixing two features into a single testing branch is not scientific enough for my tastes
13:27 paul_p hdl, that may be hard to have 1 sandbox for each patch/branch !
13:28 hdl could be done with a mutt client i think
13:28 tajoli In fact i' will organize a koha-sandbox with my two skilled users
13:28 oleonard paul_p: That's the only way anyone can properly test a patch! One bug/feature per branch, as sekjal says
13:28 paul_p my proposal is not to have one branch per feature, it's to have some developers that can say: "OK, I say it works, I merge, everyone test and confirm. If any problem, then i'll fix quickly"
13:29 hdl oleonard: you would also have to test the merge.
13:29 paul_p (it's roughtly zeno & bob proposal)
13:29 nengard @later tell wizzyrea did you try that skype replacement we downloaded? I'm no sure how to set it up, so if you did tips would be welcome
13:29 huginn nengard: The operation succeeded.
13:29 tajoli In fact, yes it is
13:29 oleonard hdl: Of course, that's part of the process. But if you're doing it one patch at a time you can tackle each one carefully.
13:29 larryb joined #koha
13:30 oleonard If I have one patch to test, I'm testing the merge as soon as I apply it.
13:30 paul_p oleonard, for new features, you can't have one patch. Or it's a *big* one that affect 20 files
13:30 marcelr left #koha
13:30 oleonard Yes, you can have one patch. Squash em. As long as it is *feature-specific* and testable.
13:31 paul_p oleonard, look just at http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6328 and the patch. Just for a "small" fix

13:31 paul_p (for a feature that is supposed to have passed QA and made his way into 3.4 !)
13:32 I'm ready to bet that it won't make his way easily into Koha, as most of you don't care, and if someone cares, i'm sure i'l have to rebase because it touches so many files...
13:33 ( s/i'm ready/i'm willing/ probably )
13:33 most of you don't care = it's a features 90% of french libraries want, and 0% of US ones afaik
13:33 oleonard Of course you'll have to rebase! We all have to rebase, all the time!
13:34 sekjal paul_p:  looks like that bug report is pretty good; has a way to reproduce the issue, so that's a starting place for testing
13:34 so getting a signoff shouldn't be too hard: it's easy enough to tell if the problem goes away after application
13:34 paul_p oleonard, and are you happy with http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3652 ?
13:34 huginn 04Bug 3652: critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , XSS vulnerabilities
13:35 paul_p phone ring
13:35 sekjal the trickier part, of course, will be checking the integration with other parts of the code, but I will do that as part of QA (others are welcome to do so, too, but I'm obligated)
13:36 oleonard paul_p: No, of course not. But that's an example of the kind of fix we have to try to avoid.
13:36 paul_p (on phone)
13:36 oleonard This was a special case, where the complete fix touched a *lot* of files. I don't know if it could have been handled better, but I understand why it got left behind.
13:37 paul_p oleonard, you get it ! many of the new features touches a * lot* of files. And it can't be handled better.
13:38 (and I understand why it got left behind with the current workflow, that why I say it's defective !)
13:38 oleonard There's a difference between a feature which touches a lot of files and a huge template revision like 3652 that *can't* be tested except all at once.
13:39 sekjal and I think we're getting down to a core part of the issues:  big features require big testing, and it's not always easy to get that from outside the immediate development team
13:39 oleonard But there are a lot of ways to make it easier.
13:40 paul_p oleonard, if a feature stays untested by anyone for a few weeks, I promize there's no difference : the patch won't apply anymore will have to be rebased, with side effect, maybe features merged before this new feature that couldn't make his path,...
13:40 that's exactly what we faced with circ improvements !
13:40 oleonard Like I said paul_p, there are ways to make it easier.
13:40 Patches have to be made more focused.
13:41 People need to be able to test specific features or fixes.
13:42 druthb oleonard++  #Ask me to test "fix the <blah> so it <foo>s instead of <bar>" and you'll get somewhere quicker than "circ improvements."
13:43 oleonard If I'm looking at the list of bugs needing signoff, I'm looking for something I understand and feel I know how to test
13:43 If the problem isn't clearly stated in the bug report I'll skip it
13:44 paul_p (on phone again)
13:44 sekjal clear bug reports, describing exactly what the problem is, or what the feature should do, are essential.  the clearer, the easier it will be for folks (any folks) to test
13:44 tajoli Ok, I need to leave
13:45 tajoli left #koha
13:46 oleonard I *like* testing and signing off on patches, so I'm happy to see stuff I can test
13:46 nengard left #koha
13:48 sekjal okay, so back to the idea of test instances per feature
13:48 how could we build a librarian-friendly system for testing and signoff?
13:48 something all GUI-based
13:49 you check out the feature you want to test, then comment on the results, and either signoff, or report a problem
13:49 have that action be something we can translate down to Git automagically
13:50 I imagine the checkout process could be awfully slow, especially if it's a large feature, but surely there is a way to make it managable
13:51 nengard joined #koha
13:52 sekjal further refinement to the idea:  make this whole thing a VM image that can be downloaded, so we don't have to have a centralized test server
13:53 anyone in the world could set one up, with a limited number of concurrent users based on the number of resources they have available to donate
13:53 druthb sekjal++  #so clever
13:55 oleonard Having a downloadable VM image would be tricky as the images diverge from master
13:55 sekjal the VM would need a synchronization mechanism
13:56 so when you fire it up, it pulls the code from git.k-c.org, and highlights all the branches that need testing
13:57 we'd need to make sure that each branch needing testing was available, and that once testing was complete, it was merged, but that's doable
13:58 hdl sekjal: it also could be done with a kind of my koha on the jenkins host.
14:01 sekjal So, we'd need an admin page where the user can a) sync to git, b) review bugs that need testing (pulling in the conversation from Bugzilla), c) select a bug, d) comment (and have those return to Bugzilla) and e) either signoff or note that it didn't pass testing
14:01 would probably also need a registration layer, so the user's name and email could get into both Bugzilla (for commenting) and git (for signoffs)
14:02 idea: provide f) a mechanism for reporting new bugs?
14:03 f) would require them to be on a recently synced version of the master branch, but could include provisions to include links and screenshots
14:03 paul_p sekjal: saying "git pull" already has make 99% of the libraries leaving. We need a mechanism where a librarian can say "hey, i've tested this cool feature on sanbox.koha-community.org, added last week, it's cool and working well !"
14:03 sekjal paul_p:  agreed.  this proposed VM tool would be entirely GUI based, and do all the git stuff invisibly on the backend
14:04 druthb Automate a), and go straight to b) on login, sekjal?
14:04 sekjal druthb: the initial set up should sync automatically, but I think having some kind of "confirm" for syncing thereafter may be good
14:05 perhaps with an option to save the confirm and autosync
14:05 hdl sekjal: I think it could be done statically and not on demand... which would be quite demanding in terms od devs.
14:06 If we had branches on a repository, a cronscript could go through the "proposed" branches and do all the clones and checkouts to branches and install the vhosts.
14:06 But I might be missing something in the reason why you want it dynamic
14:07 sekjal hdl:  that makes sense, especially in a multi-user server environment
14:07 you set up X Vhosts, and populate them with X branches to test
14:07 the user can pick from those pre-populated options
14:07 but not checkout new ones
14:07 for a local VM where the user is the only person connecting to the machine, we could allow for a more dynamic approach
14:08 hdl but more demanding.
14:08 sekjal hdl:  true; the local user would need to expend the time to set the machine up
14:09 if someone set up a server of this, they'd do the initial set up, and the tester would just be able to connect and test
14:09 I say we design the tool to work both ways
14:09 so users who aren't comfortable with VMs, or don't have time to set up the testing environment themselves, can connect to a server that provides all this
14:10 I'm pretty sure I could convince ByWater to put up a server of this with a few slots for testing various branches
14:10 BibLibre is already doing something like this, so perhaps once this tool is complete, it would provide an easier method of maintaining the service you already provide
14:13 oooh, and we could give this to library schools, both as a quick, easy demo of the system, as well as a way to distribute testing
14:13 professors could offer extra credit for testing a new feature
14:14 and if we wrote the whole thing generically enough, perhaps it could be applied to other git-based open source projects, as well

14:29 oleonard If I'm looking at the "Notices" tab of a patron in the staff client, why might I see "failed" in the status column?
14:36 * oleonard thinks everyone must be busy building the git-vm supercomputer
14:38 jwagner oleonard, I think "failed" means the patron didn't have an email address so Koha couldn't send the notice.
14:38 oleonard That doesn't appear to be the case with this particular patron
14:41 hdl oleonard: I thought of a kind of mykoha not on vms but on a machine. But with different versions.
14:44 jwagner Or maybe that Koha couldn't talk to the mailserver at that point?

15:01 Ropuch That's a relief
15:02 I don't mind learning norwegian, but not at the moment ;>
15:02 sekjal oleonard: jwagner's right, the 'failed' status comes when the intended email address couldn't be used (either there was no value for that field, or the email was somehow invalid)
15:03 oleonard sekjal: Do you know by what mechanism it comes to that conclusion?
15:03 sekjal oleonard:  I do not... would have to look it up
15:04 hdl sekjal: oleonard testing sendmail result iirc.
15:08 sekjal oleonard: I believe the test is just on the existence of $to_address.  so anything not null, 0 or empty string should work.

17:41 fredericd I'm taking a look at bug 6328
17:41 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6328 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED , Fine in days does not work
17:42 fredericd Does it mean something in English: Lift Debarment
17:44 sekjal my only understanding of the words are how they relate to Koha; in this case, to remove the 'debar' flag from a patron so they can checkout again
17:45 fredericd Thanks. So there isn't any better English wording?
17:48 sekjal I think that would be the right way to say it in Koha-English.  anything else could just cause confusion
17:49 gmcharlt yeah, other systems might call it a patron block or something like that
17:49 but if we were to change it, would want to do so across the board
17:50 * gmcharlt suddenly wonders what law firm libraries make of that terminology :)
17:50 gmcharlt I guess it would kinda be the ultimate stick to get lawyers to return their books on time ... do it or be debarred!
17:51 hankbank joined #koha
17:51 sekjal gmcharlt:  we've got a law school library going live soon... we'll ask about the reaction they get
17:52 fredericd That's where I'm lost. I'm totaly unable to 'feel' how sound such a formulation... or even if it's just correct.
17:55 gmcharlt fredericd: an alternative wording that might work without having to go so far as to drop "debar" might be "Restore Privileges"
17:58 hdl maybe "Un - Trap" but this would also be somehow clumsy
18:00 nengard debar is one of my pet peeves in koha ... means nothing to most of us
18:00 should say 'restrict' and 'lift restriction' i think
18:01 tcohen left #koha
18:01 gmcharlt that works
18:01 nengard if i get one more vote on that i'll fix it!! :) hehe
18:02 sekjal as I recall, it's also being used differently now (to indicate the patron cannot borrower) that it was originally intended in Koha 1.0 (to indicate this person is banned from the library!)
18:02 nengard i've hated that forever and ever
18:02 * oleonard votes "restrict"
18:02 nengard checking for an existing bug report ... if one isnt there i'm reporting and fixing it NOW
18:02 :) hehe
18:02 sekjal I'd like to see the three flags, debarred, gonenoaddress and lostcard, removed in favour of something more robust and locally configurable
18:03 * gmcharlt smells new patron attributes
18:03 nengard bug 5268 ... reported by ... ME!! :)
18:03 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5268 minor, P5, ---, kyle.m.hall, NEW , Language Issue: Debarred
18:03 nengard sekjal, that's above my skillset, i'll change labels for now :) hehe
18:03 fredericd nengard: Yes, do it. I leave 'Lift Debarment' wording in Paul bug 6328 patch, not beeing able to choose an alternative...
18:03 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6328 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED , Fine in days does not work
18:03 gmcharlt and a "banned from the library" flag would work as a attribute as well, partcularly since it is presumably only ever done manually
18:03 cait fredericd: do you know if the new feature will change how debarment by notice triggers work?
18:04 fredericd cait: no modification in this area I can see. What do you mean exactly?
18:04 cait ah cool
18:05 no, I only wondered because I thought the api was changed
18:06 sekjal going over the top, we could have several User Permissions:  CanCheckout, CanPlaceHold, CanRenew etc, each being able to be shut off for a user-configurable reason
18:08 gmcharlt sekjal: what would be the advantage of doing it as per-patron permissions as opposed to policies set per patron group or by the circ matrix?
18:09 sekjal there defaults defined by patron category and branchcode, yes
18:09 s/there/there should be/
18:10 but once a patron has too many fines, too many overdues, or does some kind of unruly behaviour, they would individually be changed to a different permission set, selecting from the reasons configured in Auth Values
18:10 gmcharlt sekjal: ah, I see
18:11 but I think that would be better done parallel to user permissions, not overloading the permissions mechanism
18:12 sekjal it would be a strain to base this all on the current permissions set up, but it would also provide a very integrated approach to things
18:12 I could see some confusion in future development if we had two permissions systems
18:12 it's already confusing enough with the borrowers.flags and then the granular permissions tables in addition to that
18:12 gmcharlt well, it wouldn't be two permissions systems
18:12 it woudl be one permissions system, and one circ block system
18:13 sekjal ah, okay
18:13 that makes sense
18:19 cait hm, perhaps fines could also be a trigger to cause a circ block
18:20 get  those can not renew, can not checkout, can not issue fine related sys prefs into a new more flexible block system

21:21 joynelson Quick (hopefully) install question.  I am installing Koha 3.4 on Debian Squeeze.  When I run 'install_misc/apt-get-debian-lenny.sh'  I get the error E: Unable to locate package libyaz3
21:21 Should I install libyaz4?
21:21 I can't find libyaz3 anywhere
21:22 rangi you want a quick way of getting all the dependencies installed joynelson ?
21:22 joynelson yes please.
21:22 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
21:22 joynelson I did that.  (or so I thought)
21:22 rangi add the squeeze-dev repo
21:22 joynelson aaah
21:22 ok.  will try again!!  thx
21:23 rangi apt-get install koha-common
21:23 that will pull in all the dependencies
21:23 then you can get the tarball
21:23 run the perl Makefile.PL and go from there
21:23 joynelson sounds easy enough.
21:23 rangi it pretty much is :)

21:46 * rangi is quite happy to take less responsibility not more

21:46 * wizzyrea thinks it's time for someone else to have a turn, and doesn't volunteer
21:47 rhcl_away is koha not well represented in the Far East-Taiwan, Korea, China?
21:47 rangi Taiwan yes
21:47 china and korea no
21:47 bg sorry rangi - the most karma = most responsibility :)
21:47 druthb naah, I'm betting I could kiss up to our Director of Open Source Education and she'd make me go to Fiji...
21:47 SteveJ I should go ahead and request on-site training here in toasty AZ in July
21:47 rangi i know of one public library in mainland china
21:47 lots of libraries in taiwan
21:47 dont know of any in korea
21:47 there are some in japan
21:48 bg yeah AZ is awesome though -- good green chilis yummy
21:48 rhcl_away I should go convert Korea. I lived there for 12+ years
21:48 bg rhcl_away cool
21:48 rangi rhcl_away: you so should
21:48 they are pretty wed to IE and activeX
21:49 you'll do the world a favour moving them off that ;-)

21:52 druthb bg++ #BEST BOSS EVAR!
21:52 rhcl_away thing is, I don't know the library terminology. Yea, I could make up something for "circulation" but it might not be what the Koreans use.
21:52 druthb rangi++ #Super-RM!
21:52 bg rangi++
21:52 druthb left #koha
21:52 bg druthb gets her shots in and then runs :)
21:53 rangi rhcl_away: yeah thats the trick i stumbled into with maori also
21:53 but i think mostly right is better than nothing at all
21:53 someoen might install it, and fix it then ;)
21:54 rhcl_away If I had access to a Korean Sirsi system that would be a snap.
21:55 google says "순환 = circulation", but I'll bet that means like water circulating, and I don't have my dictionaries here with me.
21:56 rangi ahh yeah
21:56 well if you ever do want to have a crack, fredericd is the man to ask to get korean .po files added to the translate site

22:04 rangi :)
22:04 unless it is a pill you really really really dont want them to eat
22:04 ibeardslee don't be tempted to use your finger to shove it all the way down
