02:53 danmc anyone up on koha_perl_deps.pl debugging?  It is claiming 3 of my modules are at a current version of "0" when I don't think they are.  Is there perhaps any sort of a debug log created?
02:54 jcamins_away danmc: I don't know much about it, but which modules?
02:56 danmc MARC::Charset, MARC::File::XML, Schedule::At
02:56 jcamins_away Ooh.
02:56 You don't need the latter, but you do need the other two.
02:56 What OS?
02:56 danmc NetBSD
02:57 working on getting koha into pkgsrc (the system NetBSD uses for 3rd party apps)
02:57 * jcamins_away spent a while working on a FreeBSD port.
02:57 jcamins_away Check that you don't have two versions of Perl?
02:57 danmc ok, so you know the drill of trying to compile the big list of perl module dependencies
02:57 jcamins_away Yep.
02:58 danmc perl-5.12.2 is the only one I have installed
02:58 jcamins_away Okay, just checking.
02:58 danmc I should look, is there a working koha port in freebsd ports?
02:58 jcamins_away _That_ particular issue tripped me up... many times.
02:58 Nope.
02:58 Lemme see if I still have my Makefile.
02:59 danmc I had briefly looked at koha ages (8 yrs) ago and then more recently started digging into a PR someone submited with a slightly out of date version.
02:59 jcamins_away No help there.
02:59 (my Makefile... it wasn't written yet.
03:00 danmc ah.
03:00 jcamins_away Let's see...
03:00 You know that MARC::File and MARC::File::XML are completely different, right?
03:00 MARC::Charset should be p5-MARC-Charset.
03:01 Under textproc, maybe?
03:01 danmc yep.  I have p5-MARC-Charset and p5-MARC-XML
03:01 the XML one has /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.0/MARC/File/XML.pm
03:01 jcamins_away Hm.
03:02 vendor_perl? Is that a proper NetBSD thing?
03:02 That doesn't look right to me, from my experience with FreeBSD.
03:02 danmc good question.  I generally shy away from working on the perl module pkgs
03:03 seems to be that way on the ones I'm spot checking
03:03 jcamins_away Okay, just checking.
03:05 What version of p5-MARC-XML do you have?
03:05 danmc actually, it claims Schedule::At is required.  I may have to suck it up and try to figure out out the koha_perl_deps.pl program actually works.
03:05 I have 0.92 of p5-MARC-XML
03:06 glernil left #koha
03:06 jcamins_away Schedule::At is definitely not required.
03:06 That functionality does not work.
03:07 What version of Koha are you working with?
03:08 Copy the output of koha_perl_deps.pl into paste.koha-community.org?
03:08 danmc 3.04.00
03:09 jcamins_away Okay, that's good.
03:10 pastebot "danmc" at 24.98.165.232 pasted "koha_perl_deps.pl output" (118 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/54
03:12 jcamins_away Hm.
03:13 I have no idea how C4::Installer::PerlModules works.
03:13 danmc yeah, me neither.  Seems to be a koha specific module.
03:13 jcamins_away Definitely Koha specific.
03:13 Also completely opaque.
03:19 danmc so it's not just me being dumb
03:19 jcamins_away No.
03:19 Definitely not.
03:20 The person to talk to is chris_n.
03:20 Unfortunately, it's 11:23pm on Friday where he is.
03:20 danmc lol
03:20 Unfortunately is is also 11:23pm on Friday where I am too ;)
03:21 jcamins_away Where I am, too.
03:24 danmc are you a casual user or do you use koha for a job?
03:24 jcamins_away The latter.
03:24 I'm the Lead Support Specialist for ByWater Solutions.
03:25 We use Debian exclusively.
03:25 Or, at least, as exclusively as we can.
03:27 danmc with the rather long list of dependencies, I can see wanting to stick to one OS distribution.
03:28 jcamins_away Yeah. Especially since Catalyst has super-slick packages.
04:06 danmc ah.  C4::Installer aside, it seems those few perl modules are broken.
04:09 pastebot "danmc" at 24.98.165.232 pasted "broken perl modules" (14 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/55
04:09 danmc I suspect if I fix that issue then koha_perl_deps.pl will become happy.

12:24 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6258 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Guided reports wizard 'Build new' brings up empty page
12:24 magnuse i get "fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (reports/guided_reports.pl)."
12:27 jcamins What arguments are you using?
12:27 magnuse git am -i3u
12:28 jcamins Okay, no idea, then.
12:28 magnuse hm, guess i have to mark it does not apply, then
12:35 cait and it does not finish?
12:35 hm, fatal
12:35 probably not
12:38 magnuse nope, it suggeste git am --resolved/skip/abort
12:38 the first patch applies nicely though
12:41 cait ah
12:41 and solving the conflict?
12:41 it's only a one liner
12:41 Guillaume left #koha
12:44 magnuse it's not really a conflict, it's "sha1 information is lacking or useless"
12:45 i could do what she did and create a new patch, but wouldn't want to appear to steal her fix or something...
12:46 cait yeah :(
12:46 she had some problems with her git branch
12:46 probably somethng went wrong
12:46 magnuse yeah, looks like it

15:24 Oak \o
15:24 cait hi Oak
15:25 Oak hello Ms. cait :)
15:25 cait :)
15:25 Oak see, i remembered
15:25 druthb_away is now known as druthb
15:26 druthb Hi, Oak! :)
15:26 Oak hiya druthb, how are you today? :)
15:26 druthb Doing well! :)
15:26 Oak good
15:27 * Oak is reading Stranger in a Strange Land
15:28 druthb I haven't read any Heinlein in years and years.
15:29 Oak what was your last book druthb ?
15:30 druthb Hm...  I enjoyed Heinlein's YA stories a *lot*...they stayed clear of his somewhat strange politics, and his...erm...strange views on sex and sexuality.  I think the last one I read, about two or three years ago, was "Orphans of the Sky."
15:32 Being a transgendered person, I somewhat get the themes of "I Will Fear No Evil," though Heinlein's oddities are clear there...he *didn't* get it, but he was willing to talk about it, at a time when a lot of authors were not.
15:33 Oak err, i don't know much about his views. this is his first book i'm reading... normally I prefer reading books by Hardy, Austen, Tolstoy, Charlotte Bront�, Hemingway again and again
15:34 i mean i've read Far From the Madding Crowd many times but if I pick it up again i won't be bored one bit
15:35 druthb :)  Heinlein had some interesting views on political structure; he favored democracy, but with a somewhat socialist bent.    His notions on human sexuality were ...somewhat freewheeling.  In this country, the term for such as he is "dirty old man".
15:37 That said (and it sounds negative, but isn't, really...or not too much), he did spin some good stories.  "Stranger" is good, but my favorites are "Friday" and "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress."
15:37 Oak hmm
15:40 druthb He had a lot of interesting ideas, given the context he was writing in...and history has shown him to be at-best partly correct about some of his assumptions of where things were headed.    Good stories, but don't get to thinkin' he was right about things, too much.
15:40 * Oak hides Heinlein's book under the mattress
15:41 * druthb raises an eyebrow
15:41 Oak :)
15:42 * druthb used to read a lot more sci-fi than she does, these days.
15:42 druthb Lately, my science reading is non-fiction ("Perl Best Practices"...) and my fiction reading is non-science (cheap romance novels.  :P )
15:43 Oak hehe
15:46 * jcamins just read half of The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana.
15:46 feels rather betrayed. It started out so well, then suddenly, he's in a coma and his memory is restored.
15:47 * cait hides
15:49 * Oak goes to find something to eat
15:52 * jcamins stirs his garlic flatbread dough.
15:59 cait hmm
15:59 sounds yummy
16:00 jcamins It's not going to be as good as the lavash we're going to eat in Budapest, but it should be pretty tasty.
16:03 cait hehe

21:47 library_systems_guy I have a design question if anybody is working this weekend
21:47 Why do all of the body of the koha pages span the entire page instead of allowing dynamic sizing easily
21:51 also would anybody be interested in me adding a navigation bar under the header?
21:52 magnuse library_systems_guy: sounds like you should have a chat with oleonard when he is around ;-)
21:53 library_systems_guy haha ill have to catch him on monday.  I added navigation for our page but i am afraid to commit it since im the new guy.
21:54 magnuse well there's no harming in sending a patch
21:54 it's a good starting point for a discussion
21:54 library_systems_guy thats true, and I seem to start quite a few of those :p
21:56 magnuse good! ;-)
21:57 library_systems_guy so is oleonard the guy that does a lot of the display stuff?
21:58 nelsonf joined #koha
22:00 magnuse library_systems_guy, yep, he's the web ui guru :-)
22:04 library_systems_guy ok I'll attack him when he gets back on
22:05 magnuse hehe
22:09 library_systems_guy, are you adding navigation bar to the opac?
22:09 library_systems_guy yes
22:09 i was just going to use the breadcrumb but i noticed that it was in use in several places
22:10 magnuse hm
22:11 library_systems_guy i've actually done quite a bit of re-arranging of elements in the opac header to maybe make it easier to edit
22:13 magnuse souonds interesting
22:13 library_systems_guy yeah I guess we'll see what oleonard thinks
22:13 magnuse i think having a layout that can easily be altered with css is A Good Thing :-)
22:13 have you got a public opac that has your changes?
22:14 library_systems_guy umm this one isn't public but i can send you a screenshot if you'd like
22:14 magnuse cait++
22:14 for signing off on lots of patches
22:14 library_systems_guy w00t cait
22:15 magnuse library_systems_guy, that would be cool
22:18 library_systems_guy give me one sec to upload it to m site and ill get you a link
22:19 http://library.uttyler.edu/Koha.png
22:19 magnuse cool
22:19 library_systems_guy keep in mind i just started this yesterday
22:19 so it still needs a lot of work
22:19 lol
22:21 library_guy joined #koha
22:21 library_guy closed the wrong window oops
22:22 magnuse hehe
22:22 that looks cool
22:22 library_guy thanks
22:22 ill see if i can have a public link available before i talk to oleonard
22:22 magnuse always interesting to see how folks are changing the look of the opac
22:22 nelsonf left #koha
22:23 magnuse i'm sure he'll be intersted to have a look
22:25 library_guy indeed...I keep trying to see who else has the koha opac pretty customized
22:27 magnuse i was thinking we could have a page on the wiki that listed customized opacs, but havn't gotten around to starting one yet
22:27 library_guy well yesterday we were talking about easier ways to theme the opac
22:27 using SOPAC is rather complicated
22:28 magnuse ooh, goody
22:28 yeah, any "alternative interface" will probably be some work
22:30 library_guy yeah exactly, have you ever used drupal or wordpress?
22:32 magnuse yup
22:33 library_guy i was hoping for some theming like those systems implement
22:34 magnuse having themes like them would be cool, but i cant really see enough people having enough time to implement it
22:34 it might require some work on abstraction first, so underlying things could change without every theme needing an update
22:35 library_guy yeah abstraction would be key
22:35 so I don't really see it happening anytime soon
22:35 magnuse and there is quite a lot that can be done with css and jquery
22:36 but hey, it's good to have some lofty goals too :-)
22:36 library_guy yes, that is how i started doing stuff
22:37 well i guess technically you could change everything from jquery if it has an id or some way to traverse to it
22:38 magnuse yeah, pretty much
22:38 but that's more for quick hacks than for doing major mods, i think...
22:39 library_guy yes exactly...oh the hax
22:44 good talking to you magnuse, im taking my girlfriend out to dinner so ill ttyl
22:45 magnuse good plan!
22:45 see ya!
