00:44 melia I need help applying a patch. this page doesn't tell me what to do if the patch includes database schema changes: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_bz_configuration
00:44 (and I'm not a developer, so I don't just know the answer)
00:51 no takers. ah well. I'm giving up for today! :)

05:22 @seen jransom
05:22 huginn` kmkale: jransom was last seen in #koha 1 week, 1 day, 10 hours, 22 minutes, and 15 seconds ago: <jransom> im off folks - meetings to get to
05:24 cait hi kmkale
05:25 kmkale cait can I interest you in signing off on bug 6843?
05:25 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6843 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, kmkale, ASSIGNED , Renew membership from expiry date or from current date
05:25 cait ah
05:25 kmkale simple stuff really
05:25 cait hasn't that be signed off already?
05:25 kmkale not that I know of
05:25 cait :)
05:25 last night
05:26 but there is a follow up for it
05:26 kmkale OOOOHHHH :)
05:26 cait I can check that
05:26 or you could :)
05:28 kmkale where is the follow up. I can only see Duncan's sign off
05:28 cait ah you are right
05:28 was looking at another bug
05:28 so he forgot to obsolete your patch :)
05:29 ah, I see your patch is missing the bug number in the subject line
05:30 kmkale No its not. [PATCH] [Bug 6843] Renew membership from expiry date or from current
05:30 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6843 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, kmkale, ASSIGNED , Renew membership from expiry date or from current date
05:30 cait hm
05:30 kmkale but another sign-off won't hurt :-D
05:31 cait http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]hment.cgi?id=6822
05:31 heh
05:31 I have a big list of thins for this morning, can't promise I will get to it
05:32 kmkale http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]hment.cgi?id=6781
05:32 cait werid
05:33 so he deleted it?
05:33 ah
05:33 perhaps becaues you put it in square brackets
05:33 kmkale Duncan's signed off patch does not have the bug number in the subject line.
05:33 cait it got deleted
05:33 kmkale is that waht happens?
05:33 cait it's a guess
05:33 but the other square bracket things are put in automatically
05:33 so perhaps
05:51 AmitG heya cait
05:52 cait hi AmitG
06:07 trea joined #koha
06:08 cait hi trea
06:08 can I ask you something as a native speaker? :)
06:08 trea go ahead
06:08 and hi
06:08 cait and why are you awake?
06:08 trea there's work to do
06:08 cait I am looking at the last touches for 5347
06:09 trea: not sure that's an excuse
06:09 we have 2 new columns there now: claims count and claimed date
06:09 trea hehe ok
06:09 cait on the page for late orders
06:09 claims count is the number of times you have sent out the mail
06:09 and claimed date the last time you sent one
06:10 I am not sure if the names are good
06:10 perhaps claim count and claim date?
06:10 or something else?
06:10 trea let me read over 5347. one moment.
06:10 cait http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]hment.cgi?id=6661
06:10 there is a screenshot :)
06:11 trea who do the mail messages goto? the vendor?
06:11 cait yes
06:11 you are late with... sent it immediately
06:11 trea it being books/items/etc
06:12 cait yes
06:12 trea so it's a count of the number of times a message has been sent to a vendor
06:12 cait yep
06:12 trea and the message says "please send items immediately?"
06:12 cait or whatever you want
06:12 trea or what does it say
06:12 mmm
06:13 cait the template is ACQCLAIM and it's for orders that are late
06:13 trea aha. ok
06:13 then in that context those make sense
06:13 it's just not a process i'm familiar enough with
06:14 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requisition
06:14 ?
06:14 is requisition used elsewhere in koha?
06:14 because that's what this is. a written request for "something"
06:16 cait no
06:16 we have late orders and claims in koha
06:16 so claimed date and claims counter it is :)
06:17 trea glad i could help
06:17 cait I thik requisition is before you order
06:17 claiming is after
06:17 trea ah, good point
06:18 cait trea++ :)
06:55 magnuse kia ora #koha
06:55 cait morning magnuse :)
06:56 magnuse guten morgen cait
06:58 cait hmm
06:59 magnuse: can you take a look at 7247?
06:59 magnuse well, i can *look* at it
06:59 ;-)
06:59 cait I don't require more )
06:59 the help now states
06:59 increase the amount of logging.  Normally only
06:59 warnings and errors from the indexing are shown.
06:59 Use log level 2 (-vv) to include all Zebra logs.
06:59 but -vv does not work for me, only -v -v
06:59 and -v
07:00 so is this a failed qa?
07:02 magnuse it says -vv should work - id it does not i'd say that's a fail, yeah
07:03 cait ok
07:03 I was not sure if this is some syntax I don't know
07:04 magnuse i'm not very familiar with it either
07:04 it might be that "everyone" knows -vv means you have to write out -v -v
07:05 but then we should not make it look like you can do -vv - if it confuses us it will confuse others...
07:07 cait heh
07:07 I will add a note to the bug and people can disagree
07:07 thx :)
07:10 magnuse the docs i found says this about +: "The option does not take an argument and will be incremented by 1 every time it appears on the command line. E.g. "more+" , when used with --more --more --more, will increment the value three times, resulting in a value of 3 (provided it was 0 or undefined at first)."
07:10 doesn't say anything about short options...
07:11 cait now I am confused
07:11 even more than before :)

08:13 AmitG heya reiveune
08:13 wahanui reiveune is working for biblibre
08:14 AmitG gaten around ?
08:14 reiveune hi AmitG
08:14 mbalmer when I work on a feature, which will probably take a substantial time (3-6 months), I create a branch.  Should I also create a "Bug" for it, although it will likely produce many, many diffs?
08:14 francharb hello
08:14 alex_a wahanui knows too many things
08:14 wahanui alex_a: sorry...
08:14 mbalmer or this there a different process?
08:15 magnuse mbalmer: yes, create a bug, that way people can see you are working on it
08:15 AmitG reiveune: whr is gaten?
08:15 mbalmer magnuse, ok.
08:15 magnuse mbalmer: you don't have to attach patches before they are ready, though
08:16 mbalmer ok.
08:16 reiveune AmitG: I don't know, I'm in France
08:16 magnuse mbalmer: what some people do is point to a git repo from the bug report, and say i'm publishing my work here every now and then, so people can have a look if they want
08:16 mbalmer ah yes, I could git push to github or so
08:17 well, before I start, I need to install my system from source, removing the debian packages first
08:17 magnuse mbalmer: if it's something non-trivial it's also considered nice to put an RFC on the wiki, with a description of what you are doing
08:17 mbalmer yes, I will need that anyways, to log about the progress
08:17 magnuse good thinking ;-)
08:18 mbalmer biggest problem though is still my knowledge of perl (or rather lack thereof)
08:18 magnuse practice makes perfect! ;-)
08:19 what are going to work on?
08:19 mbalmer pgsql
08:19 magnuse ah
08:19 others will have opinions on that, so an RFC will be very good
08:20 mbalmer yes, some already statet opinions here.
08:20 magnuse ah, cool
08:20 mbalmer which are not necessary coherent with my ideas, though :>
08:20 but time will tell
08:20 magnuse will you add pgsql in parallell to mysql or use an abstraction layer?
08:21 mbalmer right now I have tendency towards "parallel mode"
08:22 magnuse ah yes, people will have opinions on that ;-)
08:23 mbalmer mysql and pgsql _ARE_ different, so a common abstraction layer brings the danger of it being the least common denominator, not taking advantage of either feature set.
08:23 magnuse sure
08:23 mbalmer so I think it is better to have two interfaces in parallel, each one optimized, and only then see if the can be abstracted.

08:24 magnuse ouch!
08:24 almost sounds like a monday...
08:24 mbalmer an abstraction layer should only come when there are actually at least two things to abstract from, it should not be starting point.  though a clear API could be a "middle ground"
08:25 kf magnuse: worse than a monday
08:25 AmitG heya kf :D
08:25 magnuse mbalmer: that sounds like an argument - i do not have very strong opinions on it myself... ;-)
08:25 kf: ouch!

08:34 maiming... not nice
08:35 asaurat =) no, he actually said he was a pacifist, so no need to worry I guess ;)

08:53 mbalmer is 'C4/Auth_cas_servers.yaml.orig' a mistake?  i.e. why the '.orig' suffix?
08:58 kf I think you might be supposed to copy the file? not sure.
08:58 we are not using CAS
08:58 mbalmer couldn't that be a leftover from applying a patch?
08:59 kf i think asking someone from biblibre will help
09:00 fredericd: around?

09:04 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6755] Problems with switching languages <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6755>
09:06 mbalmer got myself "Learning Perl, 6th Edition" for $4.99
09:15 kf not sure which edition I have
09:15 still have 2 chapters to read..
09:16 mbalmer I looked up the ISBN at amazon, registered as print book at o'reilly, then upgraded to the ebook for 5$ (you can upgrade any book you registered for 5$)
09:19 paul_p?
09:19 wahanui paul_p is the 3.8 release manager, and is very tall, and does not like coffee.
09:19 paul_p mbalmer, yep
09:20 mbalmer wrt ot your comment, I guess it happened because I used diff and patch directly on my repo (nit got diff etc.)
09:20 so I somehow got the stuff screwed up.
09:20 beginners mistake, I guess.
09:20 paul_p you're probably right.
09:20 mbalmer, do you know git bz ?
09:21 (the handiest tool I've seen with git !!!)
09:21 mbalmer it has been mentioned to me and it is on my  list to try out.
09:21 AmitG heya paul_p
09:21 paul_p hi AmitG
09:21 kf paul_p: so simple, so much fun :)
09:21 mbalmer right now U have to brush up my Perl a bit (I am usually a C/kernel hacker)
09:22 s/U/I/
09:22 kf we also have js, html, template toolkit and xslt ... more fun! :)
09:22 mbalmer these are no problem.
09:22 it's really only perl.
09:27 kf paul_p: perhaps we should fix the patch - revert and mbalmer could sign off the original?
09:28 paul_p kf, for a so small patch, it's not worth it.
09:28 kf I am not sure I agree
09:29 paul_p kf, why ?
09:29 kf mbalmer has some patches waiting for sign-off - so I think it will not change the history.txt
09:29 but still it's fredericd's patch
09:29 and wrong history
09:44 mbalmer a bit much work for two lines of code, don't you think?  but then it's up to you of course.
09:47 kf rm decides really, and if fredericd had a problem with it
09:54 francharb anyone knows what biblioitems.cn_* are meant for?
09:55 are there info that populate automatically those field like items.cn_sort?
09:57 bigbrovar Timezone appropriate greetings guys :)
09:58 kf francharb: yes
09:58 francharb: it's a sortable form of the callnumber
09:58 francharb: and it's populated according to what you set as classification source and uses the filing rule specified in adminsitration > classiciation source and filing rules
09:59 francharb in biblioitems too?
09:59 kf oh
09:59 sorry, misread
09:59 not sure the fields there are in use
09:59 but it probably once was the same ideaß
09:59 ?
09:59 francharb i guess
10:00 thanls kf
10:15 kf, i found that in C4 :
10:15 GetClassSort
10:15 my $cn_sort = GetClassSort($cn_source, $cn_class, $cn_item);
10:15 so i guess
10:15 biblioitems
10:15 cn_sort
10:15 is populated
10:15 the "same" way
10:16 than items.cn_sort
10:16 it's based on info within cn_source, cn_class and cn_item in biblioitems
10:16 my2cts ;)
10:17 kf :)
11:42 syed joined #koha
11:42 syed hi all,
11:48 I have mapped 952$p with unique serial of barcode for circulation (e.g. LIB1000101, LIB1000102, LIB1000102) ... I also have Accession no. (e.g. 254123, 19982, 05241) please guide me what field I'll use for accession no. mapping (as i already have a 952$p for serial barcode)
12:10 kf hi syed
12:10 are you still here?
12:10 syed yes kf:
12:11 kf 952$i
12:11 inventory number = accesscion number
12:11 I was going to answer you on the mailing list right now
12:11 depends on your version, I think it's available since 3.4
12:11 syed so the librarian will use 952$i for internal item search
12:11 kf hm
12:11 syed i have 3.2
12:11 kf ah
12:12 3.2 is more difficult
12:12 syed :(
12:12 kf there is no field dedicated to accession numbers in 3.2
12:12 that was intruduced later
12:12 you could add 953$i to your framework without a mapping to items - but it will not be searchable
12:13 syed Ooo...
12:13 kf if you want it to be searchable you might have to reuse the internal note or another field that already is searchable or create a search index
12:14 syed Ok....
12:14 thanks for your guidance kf:
12:15 let me try 1st to find any searchable field in my existing koha version
12:19 mbalmer already found a few MySQLisms that do not exist in PostgreSQL.  But so far nothing that could not be made to work.

13:02 paul_p mbalmer, you should not forget that Koha is 11 years old and some things where written with tools that were also 11 years old (dunno in this case but maybe there was only table locking at this time)

13:12 sekjal morning, #koha
13:13 kmkale Namaste sekjal :)
13:14 jcamins_away sekjal: the hard part for user-configurable display is field order.
13:14 Choosing what to display and what not to display is easy.
13:14 sekjal ISBD view seems to handle order just fine
13:14 jcamins_away It could even be customized on a record-by-record level like in Millennium.
13:14 sekjal oh geeze
13:14 jcamins_away sekjal: I meant with XSLT.
13:15 sekjal jcamins_away:  right.
13:15 it wouldn't just be a matter of "turn this field on"
13:15 there would need to be the structural component as well
13:15 jcamins_away With XSLT? Sure it would.
13:15 Ah. You mean for ordering. Yes, that's what I was getting at.
13:16 * sekjal has only had the one cup of coffee
13:16 * jcamins_away has untouched coffee. Perhaps he'd better have some.
13:16 sekjal Namaste, kmkale
13:18 oleonard joined #koha
13:18 * jcamins_away just wanted to share that thought, and should go get ready and head into the city.
13:19 sekjal I'm taking off in about 15 min for day 3 of training for a new library coop in New Hampshire
13:20 aside from getting their data out of their legacy systems, biggest issue as this point seems to be how to handle ILL
13:20 they really want to give each ILL library 3 patron records in their system (one belonging to each library)
13:21 oleonard Hi #koha
13:21 sekjal hi, oleonard
13:25 kmkale sekjal: interesting. Your plan?
13:26 sekjal kmkale:  I really want them to use a single record for each ILL library.  It doesn't make sense to me to have multiple records for the same entity
13:26 kmkale sekjal: and handle everything with circ rules?
13:26 sekjal kmkale:  yes
13:27 kmkale sekjal: so the challlenge is convincing them?
13:27 sekjal they're going to apply as consistent a set of rules across the three libraries as possible
13:27 yes
13:27 they're concerned about overdue notices to those ILL libraries
13:27 they want to be sure the notice is coming from the right branch
13:27 kmkale aah. Can our notices do that?
13:28 sekjal I think so
13:28 I'm reading the overdue_notices.pl code right now
13:28 it looks like, if there are branch-specific overdue rules, the system will split overdue notices up between branches
13:28 kmkale so the from address gets inserted from the librarian's email for each branch?
13:28 sekjal so if a patron has overdues at 3 different branches, they'll get three different emails
13:29 paul_p sekjal, I think you're right
13:29 sekjal hi, paul_p!
13:29 paul_p (and, for some libraries, that's the expected behaviour, as they'll remind in the mail their opening hours, for example)
13:29 good morning sekjal !
13:30 kmkale Namaste paul_p :)
13:30 paul_p bonsoir koustubha
13:30 sekjal while I was mucking about with telephone overdue notices, I wrote a new SQL query that I think may help simplify overdue_notices.pl
13:30 * kmkale wonders how to pronounce that
13:31 sekjal with a single query, I can get all the issue information, as well as the overdue rule to use (factoring in default values, and triggers)
13:32 pastebot "sekjal" at 67.90.214.2 pasted "SQL to get overdue issues that should receive notification today" (12 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/159
13:34 mbalmer sekjal, can you do that without TO_DAYS?
13:35 sekjal mbalmer:  not sure... perhaps with a date_diff?

13:35 mbalmer it would be nice to find a way that works with other DBs, too.
13:35 since I am now working on PostgreSQL support, I oppose by nature to anything that work with MySQL only ;)
13:36 sekjal mbalmer:  good point.  if we can find a univerally-supported (or at least Postgres supported) function to replace TO_DAYS queries, we can apply that throughout the system
13:36 schuster joined #koha
13:37 sekjal TO_DAYS is 6 files currently, mostly as relates to overdues
13:37 mbalmer well, given that MySQL doesn't even check dates…. (you can store completely illegal values)..
13:37 schuster sekjal and all - regarding overdues etc... we have not been printing/emailing them, but do they include fines as well as overdues?
13:37 trea joined #koha
13:37 kf sekjal: just started reading back - we are thinking about ILL too. My idea was having a separate branch and perhaps have a branchtype - to mark functional branches. I think something like that was existant in early versions of Koha
13:38 mbalmer I am currently going each and every file to find MySQLisms, then I can think about how to make it Pg/MySQL "compliant"
13:38 sekjal mbalmer:  godspeed to you on that!
13:38 DB_indepedence++
13:38 mbalmer one easy way would be to provde a set of function to provide those MySQL only functions to PostgreSQL.
13:38 sekjal misspelling_words_early_in_the_morning--
13:39 schuster ILL discussion - how is the "Fullfillment" project at Equinox coming along?  I have not looked in on that for awhile.
13:39 sekjal schuster:  haven't heard, myself
13:39 mbalmer sekjal, I will soon open a bug to keep track of the efforts.  Bug title:  "Koha uses MySQL" ;)
13:39 oleonard schuster: I have an offer in to help test the Koha connector and I've gotten an initial response, but nothing further yet
13:40 schuster So can anyone tell me if the "notices" actually looks at account lines to include those into notices?
13:40 * oleonard isn't even sure yet how Fulfillment talks to Koha
13:40 kf schuster: it's possible
13:40 for overdue fines
13:40 sekjal kf: I'll let you know what we brainstorm today, and maybe it'll be of use for ILL best practices
13:40 kf not general fines
13:40 schuster oleonard - that is good news kind of...  wonders about poking gmcharlt to see if he can shed any light.
13:40 sekjal or worse practices, if things go poorly
13:40 anwyay, time to dash
13:41 cheers, all!
13:41 kf sekjal: talked to chris, he said the group functionality for branches was once used to do that
13:41 sekjal: my main concern was hiding my ill library from the opac pull downs
13:41 schuster A wiki page on ILL probably wouldn't hurt.
13:41 kf sekjal: I am going to load all ill patrons from our union catalog system... and I don't want to blow up patron search for one or more of the circulating branches
13:41 schuster: there is one and a new bug
13:42 schuster: but about your fine problem :)
13:42 sekjal kf:  ok.  more later, then!
13:42 kf schuster: you can use a special syntax in your ODUE template
13:42 schuster kf - ah - I don't do ILL the traditional public library way as we are a school district...
13:42 kf schuster: <item> <fine></fine></item>
13:43 schuster kf - interesting - yes I have seen that, but will it pull if they just have a fine and no overdue too?
13:43 kf no
13:43 schuster drat.
13:43 kf only F and FU fines
13:43 which means
13:43 book must still be checked out
13:43 and has fines related to it
13:44 I would like to see a new placeholder for a total value
13:44 schuster oleonard - do you all charge fines?
13:44 kf total fines overdue and fines total
13:44 oleonard schuster: No
13:44 schuster Overdues are the bain of my existence...
13:45 maximep do I really need to run misc/maintenance/remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl after an update from 3.2 to 3.6 ?
13:45 schuster oleonard - if someone lost a book so you send it to lost, how do you notify them how much they owe? or???
13:46 oleonard We debar patrons who have overdues older than a certain number of days. We send out notices about those overdues (email and postcard)
13:46 After that we hope that their desire to use the library convinces them they should pay to replace anything they've really lost and can't return
13:47 ago43 joined #koha
13:47 schuster At some point I would like to look into a way to generate overdues/fines on the fly for schools based on an sql kind of like using overdue.pl and then a button on the screen that would say generate notice.  We don't have emails for our kids "yet" so we have to do paper and when we see them once a week it is easier to hand it out when they come in.
13:48 It is end of semester so when we come back from school they secondary are going to want to post ID's to students with "concerns" in the library that need to be taken care of.  Currently we run Overdue.pl and then a "borrowers who owe money" report and merge them.  I'd like to automate that some.
13:49 back from school/back to school
13:49 surprised actually I have not had calls about generating that report already.
13:51 oleonard - do you dump borrowers inactive ever?
13:52 oleonard We never have
13:52 schuster We are going to drop fines next year so fines won't be as big a deal.  Just notification of Lost charges will become a concern.
13:53 oleonard it's different for a school since your population disappears. We can hold out hope someone will return some day
13:54 schuster Yeah after 2 years of inactivity we are starting to drop them - give them a little amnesty and hope they will come back and use the public library at least!  Often when they move levels I encourage the librarians to clear all records and give the kid a fresh start...  Trying to keep them as library users.

14:06 and we talked about filters once
14:06 oleonard: I was thinking that it would be nice to rewrite some of the templates...
14:06 like members
14:07 we do a lot of things with lots of boolean values and it's overcomplicating things and osme things are really bad for translation
14:07 oleonard We do have a lot of extra logic that can be simplified now
14:07 lots of [ IF ][ IF ][ IF ]...
14:07 kf yes
14:07 it's horrible
14:07 magnuse yeah, i think going through the templates and thinking about translations would be really good

14:31 francharb do you know when is items.cn_sort used?
14:31 when we have a no zebra install?
14:31 because zebra can manage the call number sorting right?
14:36 kf maximep: I am really worreid that you didn't run it
14:36 maximep: you probably still have item information in your marcxml blobs
14:36 that's not good
14:36 maximep running it this night. Takes way too much cpu to run it on prod
14:36 oleonard francharb: I see cn_sort used in places like overdues, the shelf browser, the holds queue
14:36 ...places where we don't use Zebra it looks like.
14:36 kf francharb: no, it's a general thing
14:37 maximep aaaaaaaaaaaah cn_sort. My life would be easier if everyone just used lcc
14:37 kf francharb: the problem is that alphabetic sorting does not work for callnumbers, because they are not made to be sortable by machines...
14:37 francharb maximeop++
14:37 kf francharb: so the sortable form inserts spaces and things to make them sortable correctly
14:38 maximep: you don't have tot ell me.... here every library thinks it's funny to invent their own classification source...
14:38 / classification
14:39 so I end up using 'z' a lot and hoping for the best with generic
14:39 magnuse well, if that isn't funny, i don't know *what* is... ;-)
14:39 kf hpf
14:39 francharb kf, do you work with unimarc or marc21 records?
14:40 kf, what is the difference between Classification sources and classification filing rules?
14:41 it's only classification source
14:41 that library use
14:41 when cataloging
14:41 right?
14:41 filing rules is somethinf for koha
14:41 to know how to normalize call numbre

14:53 francharb thanks
14:53 kf yes, you link filing rules to the classification sources under adminsitration
14:53 so the library selects what kind of classification the callnumber is
14:53 and the system generates a sortable form for it in cn_source
14:53 using the filing rule

16:05 kf maximep: why looking so sad?
16:05 hard to fix?
16:05 maximep last comment
16:05 jcamins kf: duplicated work.
16:06 magnuse UNSTABLE? run to the hills!
16:06 maximep worked on this in june, coudlnt send it before september
16:06 kf sorry, didn't check the comments
16:06 was configuring a new koha installation :)
16:06 maximep and now they duplicated my work :/
16:06 jcamins new_koha_installations++
16:07 * wizzyrea mutters about jenkins
16:07 wizzyrea oh, I bet the test is using a card number that doesn't exist in the sample data
16:08 kf maximep: not your fault, I am not sure the spec or another bug for this exists...
16:08 I commented
16:08 * wizzyrea will take a look
16:08 kf communication is always teh problem :(
16:08 jcamins It is. :(
16:09 chris_n unstable? no wonder the bells and whistles were going off on my computer :-)
16:09 * jcamins mutters dire imprecations at authority matching.
16:10 kf jcamins: east some of your fudge?
16:10 jcamins I don't have any with me.
16:12 wizzyrea possibly that unstable is caused by the jenkins db
16:13 i'm about to find out
16:14 yea, it passes with my test DB
16:14 with the sample data
16:14 magnuse yay
16:14 wizzyrea at least SIP_ILS.t passes.
16:14 paul_p wizzyrea, it also passes with my test DB
16:14 (good morning)
16:15 wizzyrea cool - I bet that jenkins db doesn't have the test patrons
16:15 from the sample data
16:15 paul_p probably. we should ask chris to know why
16:15 wizzyrea *nod*
16:15 paul_p you drop him a mail ?
16:15 wizzyrea yepper
16:20 kf ok, time to leave..
16:21 wizzyrea bye!
16:21 kf hopefully I will not get blown away by the storm
16:21 have anice weekend all :)
16:21 wizzyrea that would be bad.
16:21 ttyl :D
16:21 kf optimism! :)
16:21 magnuse see ya kf
16:21 kf left #koha
16:23 jcamins @later tell cait Maybe the storm could blow you to the big supermarket where you can find raspberry liqueur then blow you home, so you don't have to walk. :)

16:27 jcamins wizzyrea: you know that you can mark an attachment obsolete by using git-bz -e right?
16:27 wizzyrea noo, I did not know that
16:27 what's the exact syntax?
16:27 jcamins Yeah, kf showed me.
16:27 git-bz -e 1633 HEAD
16:27 wizzyrea that is not in the docs
16:27 jcamins It brings up the message for editing.
16:28 Scroll down to the bottom and you'll see lines you can uncomment for "Obsoletes attachment whatever"
16:28 You have to be pretty quick, though.
16:28 wizzyrea so you still have to know what the attachment #is
16:29 jcamins It'll say something like "Attachment #1234 - Only show Images tab when appropriate"
16:29 huginn` 03Attachment http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]=1234&action=edit patch, bugfix, 0001--bug-3356-fix-search-in-order-receive.patch

16:30 * wizzyrea will investigate this
16:30 wizzyrea thanks for pointing that out
16:30 jcamins You're welcome.
16:30 wizzyrea bc I think really the problem is forgetfulness
16:30 jcamins cait++ # for explaining how to do it.
16:30 wizzyrea and if you can do it through git bz then there's no excuse to forget
16:31 jcamins Right.
16:31 wizzyrea hm
16:31 doing that on mine
16:31 liz@koha-deb:~/kohaclone$ git bz -e 6473
16:31 Usage: git bz [add-url|apply|attach|edit|file|push] [options]
16:32 I also tried it with HEAD at the end
16:32 jcamins git-bz -e attach 1633 HEAD
16:32 No, attach -e
16:32 Sorry.
16:32 I always get a bit confused.
16:33 git bz edit 6473 may allow you to do it from the commandline, too. Not sure exactly what edit is for.
16:35 wizzyrea ok yea I see it now

16:53 not the fudge
16:53 jcamins There's chocolate in the fudge.
16:54 chris_n unless you fudge and uses a substitute ;-)
16:54 englishism warning
16:54 cait lol

16:54 * cait made fudge without chocolate
16:54 jcamins O.O

16:55 cait caramelly fudge
16:55 wizzyrea white chocolate fudge
16:55 well, that's still got chocolate
16:55 * jcamins is scandalized.
16:55 jcamins See?
16:55 cait I am sorry
16:55 * wizzyrea giggles
16:55 jcamins cait: it's okay.
16:55 We forgive you.
16:55 cait I tried your chocolate fudge recipe but it didn't work for me... so I tried something else
16:55 * cait hides
16:55 jcamins :)
16:55 chris_n did you use a copper bowl?
16:55 cait no
16:55 chris_n and a marble slab
16:56 * chris_n quotes fudge lore
16:56 chris_n ok, lunchtime for real now
16:57 jcamins cait: it can take a few tries to get the fudge down to a science.
16:58 cait so many things to learn
16:58 jcamins cait: I don't use a copper bowl or a marble slab.
16:58 * cait is relieved
16:58 jcamins cait: if I had those I would, though.
16:58 One day we will put marble countertops in.
16:58 It will be glorious.
16:58 cait heh

17:32 paul_p OK, time to leave ... for one week.
17:32 cait oh
17:32 vacation?
17:33 paul_p this week, the patches that have left the signed off status (for pushed or failed QA) has dropped from 107 to ... 41 !!!!
17:33 cait, yep, vacation !
17:33 cait have a nice vacation :)
17:33 paul_p 82 to sign-off !
17:33 cait so you will work between the holidays?
17:34 paul_p cait, during my vacation I plan to work a little bit on my sandbox database idea.
17:34 we will implement it not exactly as I'd wished, but that should be something cool anyway
17:34 cait we will wait and see
17:34 but don't forget to enjoy your free time
17:35 paul_p reach test1.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/signoff.pl > choose your patch number > 5mn later, you'll have it, with default database loaded (improvement: choose which database you want)
17:35 we would have test1, test2, test3, ... up to test10
17:36 cait sound snice
17:36 but will probably not work for every patch?
17:36 paul_p the limit of this being you must announce when you take a sandbox, to avoid having it replaced by someone else. but we don't have so many testers
17:36 cait like patches with database updates / command line tools and such
17:36 no not really.. yet
17:36 paul_p updatedatabase => will work with the new structure ;-)
17:36 cait hope this will get better
17:37 I hope we can get that in soon... it blocks some annoying tihngs
17:37 paul_p cait, bug ian ;-)
17:37 cait and lots of new features will have to be reworked for the update part
17:38 paul_p I also plan to put all console output during the setup of the sandbox in a koha news, so the tester will immediatly see if things went well or no
17:38 Guillaume1 joined #koha
17:38 paul_p OK, this time, I really leave !

19:28 stuartyeates joined #koha
19:28 jcamins oleonard: the script is either not in /etc/rc.d/ or it isn't executable?
19:28 oleonard: does it start up when you run koha-zebra-ctl.sh manually?
19:29 cait hm actually... minde doesn't start automatically too...
19:29 mine...
19:29 * cait goes to check what jcamins suggested
19:29 jcamins /etc/init.d/ not /etc/rc.d/
19:29 cait that woudl have been my next question :)
19:30 oleonard koha-zebra-daemon is in init.d, linked to koha-zebra-ctl.sh in my koha bin directory
19:30 jcamins HM.
19:30 What are the permissions?
19:30 wahanui the permissions are save
19:30 jcamins wahanui: forget permissions
19:30 wahanui jcamins: I forgot permissions
19:31 jcamins wahanui: forget the permissions

19:31 jcamins Hm, that's right.
19:31 wahanui I know.
19:32 oleonard cait's matches mine
19:32 cait I always have to poke it when I want to search
19:33 jcamins sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults
19:34 cait .. already exist
19:34 oleonard ditto
19:34 jcamins Hm.
19:34 I'm not sure.
19:34 I remember I had some sort of permission error when I first set up my dev box, but I don't see anything wrong with your permissions.
19:35 Oh, what are the permissions on ~/koha-dev/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh ?
19:35 cait -rwxr-xr-x 1 katrin katrin
19:35 jcamins Okay, that's right.

19:40 but I always have to do i
19:40 t
19:40 jcamins oleonard: in that case, I would speculate that you have a problem with permissions in /dev.
19:40 Do...
19:40 ls -l /dev/null
19:40 And: ls -l /dev/tty
19:41 (and tell me what the permissions are)
19:41 oleonard crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2011-12-16 13:59 /dev/null
19:41 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 2011-12-16 14:33 /dev/tty
19:41 jcamins Hm. So much for that idea.
19:42 * jcamins doesn't really have any more.
19:43 maximep is there something in the koha-zebradaemon.err
19:43 or .log
19:44 cait hm
19:44 the last line is
19:44 20110717 01:27:08 koha-zebra-ctl.koha: fatal: terminated
19:44 very old
19:46 jcamins cait: you have a different problem than oleonard, though, because Zebra starts for you, just not automatically.
20:06 magnuse hm is the root part of lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   43 2011-07-16 21:02 koha-zebra-daemon -> /home/katrin/koha-dev/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh right?
20:06 shouldn't that be owned by the user who owns the config files etc?
20:07 jcamins magnuse: not sure. I don't have a Koha installation to look at.
20:07 magnuse cait?
20:07 wahanui That's Ms. Cait to you!
20:07 magnuse okay...
20:07 cait heh
20:07 magnuse Ms. Cait?
20:07 wahanui Ms. Cait are you around?
20:07 cait I am here :)
20:08 magnuse do you run /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon with or without sudo?
20:08 cait without
20:09 magnuse try sudo chown cait:cait /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon ?
20:10 mbalmer scripts in init.d should not belong to regular users
20:10 cait hm does not change the file permissions?
20:10 magnuse ah, ok, i might be way off then...
20:11 yeah, forget it, i checked one of my servers and those scripts are all owned by root - sorry, my bad
20:12 oleonard I can run zebra just fine with sudo -u koha zebrasrv -f /home/oleonard/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml, so zebra *can* work
20:13 jcamins oleonard: and you changed the user listed in koha-zebra-ctl.sh?
20:15 oleonard USER=koha
20:15 jcamins And that's the user you're running Koha as?
20:16 * jcamins thought that dev installs used the current user.
20:16 wizzyrea yea, who owns your koha-dev/ directory?
20:16 or whatever you call it
20:16 and who do you log in as?
20:16 normally
20:18 maximep left #koha
20:18 cait oh
20:18 there are user and group listed in that file?
20:18 jcamins cait: yup.
20:18 cait do I have to change those?
20:18 jcamins cait: I think so, anyway.
20:18 cait never saw that mentioned anywhere
20:18 jcamins cait: I think you have to change them to your user.
20:19 Hmmm... not even after running the installation?
20:19 * jcamins could be mistaken.
20:19 cait I have triedthat
20:19 will see if it works with the next restart :)
20:22 magnuse i thought you had to change that too, but now i see that all my clients have USER=koha in those files...
20:22 * chris_n hopes mbalmer didn't get blown away in that storm :/
20:22 magnuse gah - "Tri-weekly" is that three times a week or every three weeks?
20:22 cait I think every 3
20:23 magnuse yay! https://twitter.com/#!/nengard[…]47765715934527488
20:23 wizzyrea \o/
20:23 magnuse (not for the hurting but for the worst being over, of course)
20:23 thanks cait
20:23 wizzyrea they have good drugs for hurting ;)
20:24 magnuse yum! ;-)
20:28 oleonard Great, now it says zebrasrv is running but it's not returning any records
20:29 jcamins oleonard: ownership on the Zebra indexes?
20:35 oleonard Grrr... So what's supposed to owned by the koha user (for zebra) and what's supposed to be owned by me?
20:35 jcamins oleonard: my rule of thumb for dev installs is that everything should be owned by you.
20:35 And Zebra should be run as your user.
20:36 oleonard Well that would certainly simplify things... if I hadn't followed the directions and set things up for a separate user
20:36 jcamins The directions said to do that for dev installs too?
20:36 Huh.
20:37 oleonard The INSTALL file doesn't go into detail about dev vs. standard in this regard
20:37 jcamins Ah.
20:38 My understanding was that with dev installs, the way to have a separate user was to log in as someone else and install koha-dev in their home directory.
20:39 oleonard Is there a point to having a separate user with a dev install?
20:41 jcamins oleonard: no.
20:41 oleonard: at least, not in my opinion.
20:41 Well, there's a point if you're using the dev install in production, but you probably shouldn't be logged into your production machine all the time anyway.
20:43 wizzyrea: having fun obsoleting attachments?
20:43 wizzyrea shh
20:43 cait hm? :)
20:44 wizzyrea there, now we can test it and it won't spam the bugs list.
20:45 i've been working out several things.
20:45 related to git bz
20:45 * wizzyrea hrmphs.
20:45 jcamins Are you going to share your discoveries?
20:46 wizzyrea probably not actually, it's nothing that you guys didn't already know.
20:46 jcamins :( What if I don't already know?
20:46 magnuse is it on the wiki?
20:47 wizzyrea some of it, the rest I haven't quite figured out yet.
20:50 * oleonard has zebra running, will have to wait and see if it starts on restart
20:50 jcamins Yay!
20:50 oleonard: how did you get it working?
20:52 oleonard I ditched the koha user and gave everything back to myself
20:53 * magnuse pulls his hair out trying to ssh into a new virtualbox instance of debian
20:54 jcamins magnuse: uh-oh.
20:55 magnuse jcamins: yeah... i have got it to work before, but now i can't do it...
20:55 jcamins magnuse: I have three suggestions about the problem: 1) you only have a NAT card set up in the VM, 2) you installed Debian without choosing to install SSH manually, 3) uhhh...
20:55 I had three suggestions.
20:55 There are two.
20:55 I'll get back to you with another if I think of it.
20:56 oleonard EPA?
20:56 jcamins EPA?
20:57 * oleonard apologizes... Rick Perry Republican primary debate joke
20:57 magnuse hm, could be 2, lemme check...
20:58 nope, was the network settings, but thanks anyway!
21:00 rhcl firewall
21:00 magnuse i was trying to follow this: http://muffinresearch.co.uk/ar[…]x-3-linux-guests/
21:01 but the settings for the network were not working out
21:01 making it "
21:01 Adapter 1:Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (Bridged adapter, eth0)" did the trick though
21:02 cait yay
21:03 magnuse ;-)
21:05 * jcamins always puts in two adapters: NAT and Host-only.
21:06 jcamins I've had problems with Bridged adapters.
21:06 trea weird. i've never had a problem with bridged adapters
21:07 at least in virtualbox anyways
21:07 magnuse i think for me NAT and host only used to work, but not now...
21:07 strange
21:08 jcamins magnuse: oh, I know what the problem was.
21:08 It's the one I always have.
21:08 That was my suggestion one. Debian only configures one adapter by default.
21:08 magnuse oh
21:09 * jcamins didn't figure that out for a very long time.
21:11 keeps on misreading this name as "Arthur Hugh Smith Baffy."
21:16 magnuse so even if i set up a second interface in the virtualbox ui, debian won't notice it?
21:17 jcamins magnuse: not automatically.
21:17 You have to tell Debian to start paying attention to it.
21:17 magnuse cool that would certainly explain it!
21:18 and how would you tell debian that?
21:18 jcamins http://www.linuxquestions.org/[…]econd-nic-374370/
21:18 :)
21:18 magnuse ah, thanks a ton!
21:20 * magnuse added that link to his little wiki of "things to remember"
21:34 * chris_n waves by to the #koha peps
21:34 wizzyrea later :)
21:36 magnuse see ya!
21:48 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 5503] comments shouldn't show patron's full name <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5503>
21:55 oleonard Ah, there i is
21:55 Bam.
21:56 jcamins Good night, #koha.
21:59 cait hhe
21:59 heh
22:06 nengard joined #koha
22:10 nengard peek a boo
22:10 wizzyrea yay nengard!
22:10 did they give you good drugs?
22:10 nengard hehe
22:10 yuh huh
22:10 wizzyrea yesss
22:10 nengard took some a short while ago
22:10 so i'm sitting up
22:10 wizzyrea *gentle hugs*
22:10 nengard and saying hi to my friends
22:10 thanks all for the well wishes
22:11 wizzyrea not too many around at the moment - but everybody was glad to see your tweet
22:11 nengard it took me like 10 min to write that
22:11 kept falling asleep :)
22:13 oleonard Hi nengard, glad you're doing okay
22:13 nengard yuppers
22:13 this - for the record - is way worse than a hip replacement
22:13 shocking - but true
22:14 wizzyrea well - they inflate you and muck everything about in there
22:14 it's disruptive!
22:14 you don't realize how nice and settled your organs are until someone goes in there and rearranges them for you.
22:15 my spleen was happy where it was, thank you.
22:15 * nengard giggles carefully
22:16 nengard no LOLing here for a bit :)
22:16 cait hi nengard - glad too, hope you feel better soon
22:16 wizzyrea norway++ for sustainable fish farming
22:16 just because.
22:53 cait left #koha
23:18 rhcl left #koha
