00:55 druthb o/
00:55 rangi hey druthb
00:56 druthb hi, rangi!  *hug*
00:57 rangi hows the choir going?
00:58 druthb wonderfully!  I had something really amazing happen monday before last during our tea break.
00:58 rangi oh?
00:59 druthb They announced that board elections are coming up, and they need at least five, and up to eleven, to join the board.  So I was thinking over throwing my hat in the ring, and two current board members came up and asked me if I'd accept a nomination from them.
00:59 rangi excellent :)
01:00 druthb To the kid who always got picked last, and who has *never* been the go-to, this was just huge.  Took all I had not to cry like a lil girl.
01:00 rangi heh :)
01:00 matts_away joined #koha
01:01 druthb Kind of emboldend me a lil, I guess...today, I joined PerlMonks, and am one point away from no longer being an Initiate.
01:01 rangi oohh well done
01:01 druthb answered a couple of questions, helped on one...and racked up 19 XP.
01:01 rangi sweet
01:02 we should start kohamonks.org
01:02 we already have actual monks :)
01:02 * druthb puts on her robes.
01:03 druthb The only thing is, there, they've decided against having gender-centric terms for us fems.  All the titles are masculine forms.
01:03 * druthb would be a Koha nun.  ;-)
01:06 chants "pie jesu domine", and whacks herself on the forehead with a flat board.
01:08 rangi heh
01:08 ibeardslee harder

02:04 ibeardslee rangi: would you have anyone in mind to back you up for those sessions?
02:05 rangi maybe chrish .. maybe kristina .. dont want to volunteer ppl without checking tho
02:05 ibeardslee eg in the event asking for hot chips on the Friday night goes wrong ;)
02:06 rangi heh, i think chrish or robin
02:08 ibeardslee I think eythian would probably usually be out on the Saturday.
02:09 rangi yup
02:10 ibeardslee anyway email inbound
02:10 rangi ta
02:11 !jenkins build Master_Packages now
02:11 jenkins_koha rangi: job Master_Packages build scheduled now
02:17 cjh_ rangi: is this regarding the minion training?
02:18 rangi: I was going to volunteer but assumed you wouldnt need help, id be more than happy to come in on a saturday.
02:18 rangi its more for backup
02:18 if you could cover saturdays if i was sick etc .. and eythian_ cover tuesday evening ..
02:18 then that would work
02:19 cjh_ im also available tues evening after 4:30, but whatever works :)
02:19 although eythian would be in office anyway.
02:19 rangi cool yep
02:19 sweet
02:19 eythian_ what am I volunteering for?
02:20 rangi heh
02:20 ibeardslee Nick Smith's portfolios
02:20 eythian_ eh?
02:20 rangi some of the academy kids expressed an interest in doing some ongoing work .. so a couple of hours every tuesday
02:20 eythian_ ah right
02:20 rangi we picked tuesday, cos thast when perlmongers is
02:21 so if they want on those nights they can stay on for that too
02:21 eythian_bucklame makes sense. I'm also able to be free on Tuesdays if need be (unlike last year when training was that night so I took off a bit earlier)
02:21 rangi sweet
02:22 ibeardslee sounds like we have something happening .. now to get people interested

05:07 what username and password?
05:07 wahanui i heard username and password was correct
05:22 Oak joined #koha
05:27 Oak found it
05:35 anyone around?
05:49 cait joined #koha
05:54 Oak cait!

05:55 Oak nope
05:55 cait you don't like birthdays?
05:55 Oak nope
05:55 well, not mine.
05:56 anyway, the help part.
05:57 Koha on Debian is installed and http://10.16.18.71:8080/ works fine. Now how do I configure the OPAC? entering IP address of the pc in my local network just returns: "It works! This is the default web page for this server."
05:57 Oak_ joined #koha
05:57 Oak_ did you get the help question? or was I disconnected?

05:58 cait hm
05:58 I thin kyou have to deactivate sth
05:58 I am trying to remember
05:59 which manual did you use for installation?
05:59 Oak_ here is my /etc/apache2/sites-available/... file: http://pastebin.com/TsMtSkmP
05:59 http://www.google.com.pk/url?s[…]jeJCai01Ulq_XZWNg
05:59 crap
05:59 this one: wiki.koha-community.org/wiki​/Koha_3.6_on_Debian_Squeeze
06:00 what's "sth"?
06:09 cait something
06:09 :)
06:09 oh
06:09 let me check
06:09 ah you used the packages
06:10 Oak yes
06:11 all i did is this: http://pastebin.com/KSSGy9Yd
06:11 cait hm
06:11 I am perhaps the wrong person to ask
06:12 I think you have to deactivate the standard page from apache perhaps
06:12 but I don't see in the manuals how to do that
06:12 Oak sudo a2dissite default  ? http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.[…]AC-td4513503.html
06:14 should I run that command and see what happens?
06:14 cait http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.[…]AC-td4513503.html
06:14 ah
06:14 you found the same :)
06:14 I think what liz wrote ther
06:14 Oak cool, let me try
06:15 \o/
06:15 worke
06:15 d
06:15 thank you cait! :)
06:17 now me go.
06:48 skk joined #koha
06:49 skk i have a quick question we have koha 3.04.07 can we straight upgrade to 3.06.02 with cofigure make and make upgrade commands or we need to do anything else
06:52 cait 3.4 to 3.6 should not reqiure running any additional scripts or something, if you meant that
06:52 there might be some new dependencies noted in the release notes
06:53 skk those if it ask i will download but my worry was with regular upgrade commands anything else as well need to be done hence before doing this i wanted to verify
06:56 cait it's recommended to dump your database and keep it safe somewhere before doing an update
06:56 rangi why 3.6.2 not 3.6.4 ?
06:56 cait and ideally run through the process on a test server first
06:57 skk i was thinking i should go from 3.6.2 then to 3.6.4 but if i can go straight and if it wont create any problems then will use 3.6.4
06:58 rangi well 3.6.2 was the 3rd 3.6.x release, theres nothing special about it .. no reason to go to it first
06:58 skk thanks a lot!
06:59 will try straight upgrade from 3.04.07 to 3.06.04
07:00 cait have fun :)
07:03 skk we were getting error while running reports in 3.4.7 undefined subroutine &C4::Reports::Guided::themelanguage called at /usr/share/ko ha/lib/C4/Reports/Guided.pm line 714 . hence we wanted to check if this error can be rectified in new version

09:07 but am not able to do it properly
09:08 can u help me for that
09:08 cait I am sorry, not sure i understand your questions
09:08 what are you trying to do? exactly?
09:08 you have a working koha installation?
09:08 map yah
09:08 cait which version of koha did you install?
09:08 map koha is working
09:08 and now we are doing data entry for adding books
09:09 3.6
09:09 i think not sure
09:09 only bar coding is the problem for me now
09:09 cait ok
09:10 so do you want to use preprinted barcodes? or print barcodes with koha?
09:10 map i want to print barcode with koha
09:10 Joubu joined #koha
09:10 map i like to get accession number as my barcode
09:10 cait I think first ting you want to do
09:11 map so it is easy for us to detect
09:11 cait is make koha assign barcodes numbers automatically
09:11 there is a setting in the system preferences: autobarcode
09:11 administration > system preferences
09:11 and search there for autobarcode
09:11 map okay
09:11 cait manual?
09:11 wahanui manual is, like, at http://www.koha-community.org/documentation
09:11 cait and for the barcode printing
09:11 you might want to take a look at the manual
09:11 and the video toturials from nicole
09:12 video tutorials?
09:12 wahanui video tutorials are http://bywatersolutions.com/se[…]/tutorial-videos/
09:12 map is it possible we can use our accession nuber as barcodes
09:12 ?
09:13 are u therew?
09:13 *there
09:13 ?
09:13 cait you have to store it in the barcode field then
09:13 there is a barcode scheme using the year
09:13 perhaps this will fit your needs
09:13 you can also use independent numbes, there is a seaparate field for inventory numbers
09:13 map okay
09:14 okay
09:14 let me check
09:14 cait perhaps try and get a look at the forms and item fields and options
09:14 map okay
09:14 cait so you get a better idea about what you can do
09:14 map if u dont mind can i get ur facebook id or gmail id
09:14 so that i can contact u later
09:16 cait I think #koha is the best place to ask questons
09:16 there is always someone around
09:16 and we have the mailing lists
09:16 mailing lists?
09:16 wahanui mailing lists are at http://koha-community.org/supp[…]ha-mailing-lists/

09:20 cal u explaing me how can i modified ?
09:20 cait the frameworks are a big topic
09:20 map k
09:20 cait I think I would try to figure out the other parts of koha first
09:21 there are lots of options, but going with the defualt frameworks at the beginning is a bit easier
09:21 I suggest you go to administration
09:21 and work your way down there
09:21 setting the basic parameters
09:21 map okay
09:21 cait and then try to add a few records, patrons
09:21 try to circulate
09:21 map i am talking abut bar code
09:22 actually i just need to generate bar code from my accession number
09:22 now can i do that
09:22 cait whatever you save in the barcode field
09:22 can be printed out
09:23 on the barode labels
09:24 map actually its a number only if i entered the number there is it ll generate barcode?
09:25 cait sorry, I don't understand oyur question
09:25 map okay
09:25 example am having an accession number test01
09:25 how can i make its barcode for koha
09:26 can u explane it for me
09:26 cait yes

09:28 juan_laptop hi cait
09:30 eythian_bucklame rangi: maybe it was tv3 news, as the video is online here: http://www.3news.co.nz/VIDEO-F[…]7536/Default.aspx ... perhaps nightline is just doing a recap
09:32 rangi ahh
09:32 yeah thats plausible
09:33 oleonard Hi rangi and eythian_bucklame, so nice to see you in my morning for a change
09:34 rangi heya oleonard
09:34 wahanui oleonard is the master UI designer of koha or an awesome bug wrangler
09:34 eythian_bucklame oleonard: hiya
09:34 slef hi all
09:34 wahanui: correct!
09:34 wahanui slef: sorry...
09:35 oleonard I just finished giving our "ergonomy" group a tour of Koha interaction patterns as I understand them in the staff client
09:35 Documentation to follow, slowly. cait was kind enough to take notes
09:35 cait she tried to... not sure it makes sense
09:35 rangi heh
09:36 well i can never read my own notes, so its bound to be better than that
09:37 cait I typed them
09:37 eythian_bucklame *I * it's *. ... I can barely read your typing ;)
09:37 cait so it should be better in that aspect
09:38 rangi eythian_bucklame: heh
09:40 eythian_bucklame rangi: oh, it's on tv now
09:41 rangi ahh id just turned it all off
09:41 eythian_bucklame it's a real mess
09:41 300,000 books on the floor
09:41 rangi yeah, that's what id heard ;(
09:41 eythian_bucklame they said that at least the building remained waterproof.
09:41 given the rain and snowstorms they had
09:42 slef wow whassat?
09:42 eythian_bucklame I think they said they're going to warehouse books and you can request them. Probably a good temporary scheme.
09:43 slef: they finally got access to Chch library after the quake over a year ago.
09:43 oleonard Wow
09:44 slef ouch
09:44 eythian_bucklame yeah, it's one of the few buildings still standing in it's area, mostly because it was built to hold a lot of weight I guess.
09:44 slef eythian_bucklame: yeah, Norwich warehoused books after its library burnt down in 1994, until the new one opened in 2000ish
09:45 eythian_bucklame slef: yeah, they're not sure if they can fix the building or if it'll have to be rebuilt.
09:45 slef eythian_bucklame: one of the larger branch libraries was used as a temporary main library with the most popular books in it, the rest in IIRC an ex-nuclear-bunker.
09:45 eythian_bucklame I guess a nuclear bunker isn't going to burn down :)
09:46 asaurat it still can be flooded ;)
09:46 eythian_bucklame I linked to the video (which seems to have terrible sound, and/or flash just sucks) above which'll give you an idea.
09:46 francharb joined #koha
09:46 eythian_bucklame true :)
09:46 slef asaurat: it's in the hills
09:47 eythian_bucklame alright, time for bed for me I think. Later all.
09:47 slef eythian_bucklame: yeah, flash, so 1990s. html5++
09:47 eythian_bucklame yep. If only companies wouldn't damage the standards process.
09:47 *company's
09:47 no wait
09:47 the first one
09:47 wahanui the first one is, like, the easiest, but you can't do anything very interesting with it
09:47 oleonard slef: Flash or patented video codecs, how do we choose? :)
09:47 eythian_bucklame really time for bed.
09:48 oleonard: you choose open video codecs :)
09:48 byebye
09:48 slef oleonard: software patents are prohibited by law here, so that's simple ;-)
09:48 eythian_bucklame: night
09:49 * oleonard must have awoken from a bad dream
09:50 slef oleonard: yeah, it's called moving to Europe, isn't it? ;)

12:36 when adding a new record in Koha, the 100 a (Personal Name) field is locked. I went to Administration > System Preferences > Authorities and set BiblioAddsAuthorities to "Allow" and saved, was that supposed to unlock the 100 a field?
12:36 it's still locked.

12:45 sekjal libsysguy:  yup
12:45 working on 5549
12:45 libsysguy dude I was looking at that this morning too
12:45 slef Oak: I'd expect it to unlock it but maybe you need to change the framework too. It's been a while since I did a naked setup.
12:45 bug 5549?
12:45 wahanui rumour has it bug 5549 is libsysguy's white whale
12:45 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5549 enhancement, P1 - high, ---, chris, Failed QA , Hourly Loans
12:45 libsysguy I don't see how that could possibly happen
12:45 sekjal I can't reproduce their renewal problem
12:45 slef wahanui++
12:46 sekjal but I do get the 'inverse' error
12:46 Oak slef, what do i change in the framework?
12:46 libsysguy weird
12:46 sekjal working on tracing it out now
12:46 something to do with fines in days, I think
12:46 Oak the "MARC Bibliographic framework" link?
12:47 and there edit "Books, Booklets, Workbooks" by clicking on "MARC structure"?

12:47 libsysguy if you look in Koha::Calendar the variable is initialized to a DateTime::Duration object one line above the error
12:48 Oak edit 'a', i.e. "Personal Name"?
12:48 slef Oak: this sounds wrong to me. Have you checked the FAQ?
12:48 sekjal libsysguy:  what line?
12:48 Oak FAQ...
12:48 slef alternatively wait for someone who isn't eyesdeep in admin and code to help :(
12:48 FAQ?
12:48 wahanui i think FAQ is found at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
12:48 libsysguy line 96
12:48 slef Oak: if this isn't in there it should be
12:48 wahanui: BiblioAddsAuthorities?
12:48 wahanui BiblioAddsAuthorities is probably a syspref that lets authorities be created automagically when you add a record.
12:49 libsysguy i just did a grep for inverse
12:49 thats the only place it occurs
12:49 so i started there and tried working backwards
12:49 sekjal right, but the error is coming from DateTime::Duration.pm directly
12:49 in the 'subtract_duration' subroutine
12:49 Oak it is there
12:49 sekjal which is called by 'subtract'
12:49 Oak but it does not make sense: "These fields are authority controlled and you probably have the BiblioAddsAuthorities set to 'allow'. When it is set to 'don't allow' these fields will be locked and require you to search for an existing authority record. "
12:49 sekjal which is called to places in Koha/Calendar.pm
12:49 s/to/2/
12:50 libsysguy interesting
12:50 ok...goes to look further
12:50 sekjal 1 of which is days_between
12:50 Oak FAQ: Why can’t I edit 1xx, 6xx, or 7xx fields in my catalog record? Answer: These fields are authority controlled and you probably have the BiblioAddsAuthorities set to 'allow'. When it is set to 'don't allow' these fields will be locked and require you to search for an existing authority record.
12:50 sekjal where we just did some work
12:50 libsysguy you're obviously ahead of me :p
12:50 sekjal so that's my first suspect
12:50 libsysguy:  I've been poking for the last half hour or so
12:51 Buster52 joined #koha
12:51 libsysguy you know what might nip it in the butt for now is to check to see if start_dt and end_dt are both references
12:51 skk can someone help. we upgraded our koha from 3.2.10 to 3.4.8 to 3.6.4. We are unable to see boundvolumes data in kohaadmin as well as in opac. These records are there in koha database when we saw database from phpMyAdmin. My query is how to get these records visible in koha.
12:52 libsysguy sekjal if they aren't, convert them with dt_from_string
12:52 sekjal yeah, I was just thinking... can you subtract two DateTime::Duration objects like that
12:52 libsysguy you mean line 175
12:53 sekjal yes
12:54 okay, according to stack overflow, you can
12:55 libsysguy oh...
12:55 http://search.cpan.org/~drolsk[…]etime_Subtraction
12:56 sekjal hmm... that would indicate otherwise
12:56 slef skk: did you run the script to change the items format?
12:56 sekjal ah, but those are datetimes, not durations
12:56 slef (afk for a while)
12:56 reiveune joined #koha
12:56 libsysguy are we passing it Duration objects or DateTime objects?
12:57 sekjal not sure yet
12:57 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I just say Patrick Jones
12:57 s/say/saw/
12:57 his hair seems shorter....
12:58 going into days_between we have two DateTime objects
12:58 libsysguy ok
12:58 sekjal on from dt_from_string, the other from DateTime->now()
12:58 libsysguy so maybe it would be safer to use the subtract_datetime
12:59 Oak sekjal, i have done this but still that field is locked: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/publ[…]1-May/028962.html
12:59 sekjal yes, we'll need to use the datetime subtraction method
12:59 libsysguy ok, how do you want to handle that?
13:00 sekjal Oak:  are you running memcached?
13:00 libsysguy I have a patch I need to send to rangi for an error that I found in dropbox returns this morning
13:00 sekjal libsysguy: I'm going to test locally and see if it helps
13:00 libsysguy ok
13:00 edveal joined #koha
13:00 Oak what's memcached? I just installed Koha on Debian for the first time.
13:00 sekjal if so, you or I can write up a patch and send to rangi
13:00 Oak:  caching software for better concurrency.  if you're not familiar, you probably haven't turned it on
13:01 libsysguy ok, well since you have a test case already in place could you patch and test?
13:01 or you can send me what you did to make it fail and I can
13:01 sekjal libsysguy:  yes
13:01 Oak where do i turn it on? just give a clue...
13:01 wait
13:01 i'll google
13:01 * libsysguy feels guilty for having sekjal do all the work
13:01 sekjal Oak: if you had memcached turned on, you'd need to reload it for the frameworks to take affect
13:02 Oak: was just guessing at one easy solution
13:02 Oak where is that setting?
13:02 sekjal Oak:  set up during the make process
13:02 libsysguy: no need.  you have already done so much
13:02 libsysguy oak but its not default so if you didn't turn it on its not on
13:02 cait joined #koha
13:02 sekjal I want this enhancement in place almost as much as you do
13:03 Oak cait!

13:04 jcamins_away No, Oak's.

13:04 Oak thank you guys.
13:06 cait yes?
13:09 so what about me?

13:19 sekjal libsysguy:  having a hard time fixing this issue
13:19 I've tried a couple different ways now, to no avail
13:19 mbalmer how do I tell perlcritic to treat 'use Modern::Perl' to be equal to 'use warrnings, use strict' ?  i.e what need to be put in ~/.perlcriticrc ?
13:20 Oak thank you very very much all :) thank you wizzyrea.
13:21 libsysguy hmm
13:21 maybe its not failing at the point we think it is
13:22 * libsysguy iwll be in and out, had a server fall out last night so im running in a degraded state :-\
13:23 wizzyrea I think we've all been there.
13:23 jcamins_away wizzyrea: Committing all the things!
13:23 wizzyrea :)
13:23 oleonard schema?
13:23 wahanui schema is probably tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org
13:23 oleonard Thanks wahanui
13:25 wizzyrea ...and now you are all going to look at my silly little shell scripts.
13:25 and wonder if I'm quite sane.
13:26 sekjal libsysguy: I think you're right... I commented out the call to subtract in days_between, and still get the error
13:26 moving to the other call thereof
13:28 libsysguy did you add a check for ref in days_between sekjal?
13:29 sekjal libsysguy: no
13:29 just commented out the call to subtract, which would be what causes the call to inverse
13:29 libsysguy oh i understand now
13:31 sekjal okay, fail
13:31 mbalmer no perlcritic users around?
13:32 * mveron Likes Perl :-)
13:33 wizzyrea mbalmer: does this help any
13:33 http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.[…]-u-td5157092.html
13:33 * mbalmer rather hates it...
13:33 paul_p oleonard = is it correct : Delete records if no items remain ? the same in french would have been spelled "Delete records if no item remain" (no s to item as there's none)
13:33 * mveron Swiss people are used to deal wit dialects...
13:34 oleonard paul_p, Actually I think you could do it two ways :)
13:34 Delete records if no items remain
13:34 or
13:34 wizzyrea tmtowtdi?
13:34 wahanui i think tmtowtdi is there's more than one way to do it
13:34 oleonard Delete records if no item remains
13:34 wizzyrea whodathunk
13:34 oleonard But I think the first is better
13:34 wizzyrea Remove bibliographic record when no items remain?
13:34 paul_p oleonard if kyle wrote it that way and it's OK, I won't change anything then. now pushing bug 6027
13:34 oleonard The second sounds awkward, at least to my American ears

13:38 => removes one space !
13:38 cait 2
13:38 heh :)
13:38 * oleonard defends his title, claiming a patch which removed only 1
13:38 cait it's not my fault it was an easy fix!
13:39 gmcharlt somebody needs to submit a patch that just changes the permissions on a file ... only way to beat oleonard's record
13:39 * mveron proud to have signd off 7749 as my first sign off...
13:42 sekjal libsysguy:  you were right: it looks like it's line 95 (the direct call to inverse)
13:43 cait mveron++
13:43 wizzyrea didn't slef do that?
13:44 submit a patch that only changed the permissions on a file
13:44 * oleonard thought he remembered something like that

13:48 slef wizzyrea: yeah probably.
13:50 mbalmer perlcritic is a bastard……
13:50 stephan goes mad, I think ;)
13:56 sekjal libsysguy:  no, not the call to inverse... though that does look problematic, too
13:56 or maybe just confusing

15:50 marcelr morthland: via a syspref
15:50 oleonard Administration -> System preferences -> virtualshelves
15:51 hdl joined #koha
15:51 wizzyrea too bad it's be a pain to change that syspref.
15:51 Morthland hmm?
15:51 wizzyrea because virtualshelves makes no sense - it's lists everywhere in the UI
15:51 oleonard At least you can find the preference when searching for "lists"
15:52 wizzyrea true.
15:52 oleonard Unfortunately the description isn't clear that it affects only the OPAC
15:52 chobbs Hi all! We have some inventory barcode files that were collected last August but never submitted for processing. Obviously, many of these items have since circulated. I want to create a stored proc that will update the datelastseen, as well as check in anything that hasn't since circulated but is still issued. Any thing else I need to look for?
15:54 oleonard Is there no notice for warning patrons their accounts will expire soon?
15:55 cait there is
15:55 probably tied to the systempreference
15:57 francharb joined #koha
15:59 chobbs oleonard:  Is that what 'NotifyBorrowerDeparture ' is for?
16:00 oleonard No, that controls whether the staff is warned on the circulation page a certain number of days ahead of the expiration date
16:00 sekjal paul_p and other Fines in Days users:  does borrower debarment date need to be a datetime?
16:00 melia joined #koha
16:01 chobbs oleonard:  Ahh, bummer.
16:01 Morthland where can I find an example of a koha opac?
16:01 paul_p sekjal we spoke of that yesterday, and we don't know any library that could have a rule like "check in 1 hour late ? 1 hour debarred"
16:02 sekjal a rule that could be possible being "1 hour late => 1 day debarred" seem more possible.
16:02 oleonard Morthland: http://search.myacpl.org
16:02 sekjal okay, so the debar duration is in days
16:02 paul_p but even this option seem rare.
16:02 yep, probably OK
16:02 oleonard Morthland, Or demos via koha-community.org
16:02 sekjal ok
16:03 paul_p (and if someone request it in hours, we will quote that enhancement :D :D )
16:03 sekjal will work on this fix
16:03 chobbs Morthland:  Here's a K-12 school district version: http://koha.nhusd.k12.ca.us/
16:04 not exactly fancy (pretty much out of the box)
16:04 Anyone have suggestions on my inventory issue? Or was it a case of tl;dr?

18:16 oleonard slef, I think we must have gotten something mixed up somehow
18:16 cait so most have gone home, we are at the hotel now
18:16 perhaps it was a time confusion
18:16 dpavlin plack helpd a bit... we have 0.7-2.5 s page load with plack (slow for search results, fast for eveyrhing lese)

18:17 no one wanted to do me jorb.
18:18 data_doctor In what areas do you see performance gains in 3.8?
18:18 slef Brooke: ah. I was unavailable last meeting, so couldn't offer :)
18:18 jcamins data_doctor: that's probably better discussed after the meeting.
18:18 data_doctor sure thing :)
18:19 oleonard besides, dpavlin's work won't be in 3.8
18:19 Brooke why
18:19 I think that's scarily relevant :D
18:19 dpavlin oleonard: It wont?
18:19 Brooke unless no one can tell us that's here
18:20 in which case we'll move on
18:20 oleonard Oh, if I'm mistaken dpavlin correct me
18:20 Perhaps I misunderstood what you were referring to

18:23 cait dpavlin: testing is good :)
18:24 bag hmm dpavlin do you have a git repo somewhere that we could look at?  Or your plack configs
18:24 dpavlin http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Plack is probably good place to get started with latest development
18:24 bag I'd be more than willing to throw that up on a community testing server

18:25 thanks everyone at the hackfest
18:25 bag ah yeah with help from hdl we did that in NZ..  but there were certain problems :)
18:25 dpavlin opac is much more stable in plack than intranet and it's already used by one franch library in production.
18:25 Brooke hopefully Paul is filling you all with wine and cheese :D
18:25 cait no wine, but we had cheese :)
18:26 bag right - it's circ that matters the most :)
18:26 * slef has wine. Not French, though.
18:26 bag dpavlin: I'd also suggest trying starman too - or at least testing it…  :)
18:27 Brooke dpavlin does it speed the opac searching a bit? I've noticed a difference in speed between what I think is a fuzzy search and not. Hopefully that whittles some of the time off.
18:27 sekjal dpavlin:  will plack work help with running Koha on mod_perl?
18:27 bag sekjal: it should
18:27 cait-m_ joined #koha
18:27 dpavlin Brooke: it does help a bit with opac (mostly module loading time)
18:28 Brooke sweet :D good to know
18:28 sekjal awesome
18:28 dpavlin sekjal: it *probably* will help with mod_perl, since we can wrap plack in mod_perl, but starman seems like better soltion, mostly because of leeking memory...

18:31 Use '!jenkins help' to get help!
18:32 melia galen said he plans to have a branch submitted by this friday for DOM indexing
18:32 bag ah thanks melia  - well anyways sekjal if you see him - ask him :)
18:32 sekjal joined #koha
18:32 sekjal bag:   no, haven't seen gmcharlt here
18:33 rangi Just don't push things and Jenkins will be quiet
18:33 bag thanks
18:33 wizzyrea paul is gone, that job started before the meeting :P
18:33 rangi So 3.10 roles?
18:33 Brooke rangi yep
18:33 rangi Then quit moaning :)
18:33 cait we are still missing candidates for 2 important roles
18:34 Brooke looks like way more than 2 cait
18:34 cait translation manager and qa manager
18:34 Brooke #link http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Roles_for_3.10
18:34 wizzyrea db doc manager and doc manager?
18:34 * cait searches for the link
18:34 wizzyrea it's on the agenda :)
18:34 cait ok, my scrolling is broken again
18:34 libsysguy back
18:35 jcamins Three important roles, at least. Translation manager, QAM, and packaging manager, assuming that nengard is willing to do docs again.
18:35 libsysguy #info Elliott Davis - UT Tyler
18:35 Brooke nengard's puppy is sick, so perhaps that is why she is elsewhere.
18:35 bag I think nengard is up for doc manager again…
18:36 slef Brooke: I think she's at an event too
18:36 bag she's at or on her way to computers in libraries
18:36 rangi Im sure eythian will continue packaging
18:36 sekjal nengard is in her room working on CiL presentation, I think
18:36 we'd met for lunch earlier
18:36 slef ah, the internet, top stalking tool
18:37 Brooke enywhooo
18:37 think about if you want to volunteer for one of those posts
18:37 thd I suspect lack of names in the wiki for roles is from lack of attention to 3.10 roles in the wiki.
18:37 Brooke find someone that's done it in the past to see if you're a match
18:37 and uh
18:37 mtj i wanna do packing stuff too
18:37 Brooke yeah.
18:38 thd fredericd: are you extant?
18:38 oleonard Since we don't have all the volunteers, there's not much we can do. Except maybe propose a deadline?
18:38 Brooke #help Fill the Slots on the Roles for 3.10 page with Volunteers
18:38 rangi It's not easily split mtj but u could do some cpan packaging that would help
18:39 Brooke oleonard I agree and would add that it's rapidly approaching
18:39 jcamins mtj: could you put yourself and eythian down as packaging managers?
18:39 rangi Ask eythian about the debian Perl team
18:39 cait I think that's what we did for 3.8
18:39 jcamins Or packaging manager and grasshopper? :)
18:39 mtj rangi:  *nod* and jcamins , yep :)
18:40 Brooke would anyone be so kind as to send out a message to the lists looking for help?
18:40 rangi Qam is the big one IMHO
18:40 slef #link http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Roles_for_3.10
18:40 cait yep
18:40 we really need to find qam and one more assistant I think
18:41 jcamins cait: has joubu said anything about continuing (or not)?
18:41 cait not afaik
18:41 * sekjal would like to keep contributing to QA efforts
18:41 jcamins sekjal++
18:41 dpavlin sekjal++
18:41 cait sekjal++
18:41 rangi Cool assistant?
18:42 Or manager?
18:42 cait quick, someone should edit the wiki ;)
18:42 * oleonard checks the locks on sekjal's shackles
18:42 * sekjal is uneasy about volunteering for a 3rd QAM term, with the recent job change
18:42 * Brooke helps oleonard.
18:43 Brooke does Cait have the time for QAM?
18:43 rangi Assistant makes sense
18:44 cait I think qam manager requiresmore skills than I currently have
18:44 hopefully one day
18:45 mtj hmm, i think i could help out with some QA stuff, too?
18:45 wizzyrea mtj you'd probably be good at that.
18:45 rangi We can't convince Marcel to do Qam and get another assistant?
18:45 Brooke Bus Driver's empty
18:45 cait I like rangi's idea
18:45 * jcamins too
18:46 bag how about a bunch of assistants but no M
18:46 * chris_n points cait to the koha user's list
18:46 cait hm?
18:46 Brooke bag how'd that work?
18:46 rangi Bag: don't think that will work
18:46 sekjal I think the only difference between assistants and the manager is as tie-breaker and work allocater
18:47 or at least that's how it worked this last cycle
18:47 bag which I think cait could do :)
18:47 but mainly it's better than nothing
18:47 Brooke anchio Brendan
18:47 rangi Not if she doesn't want to
18:48 oleonard Sure, if we're allowed to draft people we can just get rangi again :P
18:48 cait I am torn
18:48 * Brooke bribes Cait with sweets.
18:48 cait I am not sure I would be good for this job
18:48 bag we've had releases with no QA before and I think we need to at least think about how to work with assistants
18:48 * Brooke is pretty darn sure.
18:48 cait I can offer to think about it
18:48 rangi Bag ur joking right?
18:48 cait but qama not qam
18:48 * Brooke does the happy dance.
18:49 sekjal QA team is required
18:49 Brooke ^
18:49 bag well what if no one volunteers for QAM rangi
18:49 sekjal but whether one stands apart from the rest as 'manager'...
18:49 cait bag: I think it's too early to say noone volunteers
18:49 sekjal I'm not sure I see the immediate difference in workflow
18:49 cait and we really need one
18:49 bag thanks sekjal that is what I was trying to say
18:49 sekjal perhaps it's just that QAM is ultimately on the hook for all the QA team?
18:49 Brooke pretty much
18:50 sekjal ... that doesn't sound right, though, since RM can jump QA, at his own discretion and peril
18:50 jcamins sekjal: there has to be someone who can say definitively "this does not pass QA." With four QAAs, you have a situation where everyone has to offer an opinion.
18:50 (and then you'd have a deadlock)
18:51 Okay, consider the situation with five QAAs.
18:52 sekjal if we're thinking of QAM in this regard, as a tie-breaker and responsible party, then it doesn't sound like it's that different than the day to day of QA
18:52 mtj ok, so we may not get a QAM role confirmed today... :)
18:52 thd If no one would come forward, for QAM, the authority of main QAM could rotate by week, or by 'tag you are it'.
18:52 sekjal and if it's not a change in normal workflow, then I think I could take on the additional work going from QAA to QAM
18:52 wizzyrea or what if the qam was really the one to say "these problems identified by the assistants are no-go's, this fails"
18:52 sekjal if everyone is comfortable with that
18:52 bag there we go thd is thinking outside the box :)
18:53 or what wizzyrea said :)
18:53 Brooke that seems like more articulations than are strictly necessary
18:53 thd wizzyrea++
18:53 jcamins sekjal++
18:53 rangi How about we post to the mailing list
18:54 wizzyrea though I'd probably be happier if sekjal just stayed on :P
18:54 Brooke what if the QAM were Wizzyrea?
18:54 >.>
18:54 <.<
18:54 thd We need not choose today.
18:54 wizzyrea if he feels able.
18:54 rangi And see who applies
18:54 Brooke yeah thd prolly discussed this to death
18:54 wizzyrea yes, lets do that.
18:54 jcamins Makes sense.
18:54 Brooke so think about volunteering
18:54 mtj hmm, well sekjal has a beard... does that not give him more QA authority?
18:54 thd We can discuss the problem of an empty main role further if it actually happens.
18:54 bag beards++
18:55 Brooke beards--

18:57 slef I've posted a form so people can request invitations at
18:57 #link http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/
18:57 for sponsors or visas or that sort of thing.
18:58 mle one question i have for this meeting is whether it would be handy to ask our Edinburgh friends for sofa spaces?
18:58 slef The next things to open are papers and general registrations, I think, which will be on that same web page.
18:58 mle ther are lots of cheap hostels though ; /
18:58 slef Thanks to wizzyrea for help setting that page up.
18:58 jcamins mle: only the locals know where to get good haggis.
18:58 Brooke yes MLE
18:59 wizzyrea ! you're welcome but you really did it :P
18:59 so, slef++
18:59 rangi Yep on that page is good I think
18:59 slef If you'd like to help volunteer, msg me for the email address.
18:59 help by volunteering
18:59 as I'm clearly so overloaded I've not time to type full words, clearly
18:59 :)
18:59 wizzyrea and/or repeating yourself :)
19:00 slef wizzyrea: The next things to open are papers and general registrations
19:00 mle so I need numbers but if there is ineterest I can ask for sofa spaces
19:01 Brooke #Info If you want to crash and have no dough, please talk to mle about sofa spaces
19:01 mle we are looking to pledgebank the excursion day, so we must get on with that. But I would be keen to get numbers/interest for a fishing trip.
19:01 rangi Ok bus stop brb
19:02 mle #Info if you are a looking for a sofa space ask me ASAP so that I can see what can be done. : )
19:02 thd mle: Where is the place in which you are acquiring information about numbers?
19:02 slef help
19:03 ok, I just got confused
19:03 sorry about that
19:03 mle thd good question.
19:03 slef did any known volunteers not get yesterday's or today's emails?
19:03 ah, never mind, it just got stuck in some filters.
19:04 (at the volunteer side, not ours)
19:05 Brooke will there be an IRC meeting about KohaCon?
19:05 slef We'll be posting a call for sponsors soon, but we've had a small setback with our first choice on that.
19:06 larryb left #koha
19:06 mle Brooke we shoudl have an IRC chan for KohaCon12
19:06 Brooke dunno
19:06 thd mle: a separate channel, really?
19:06 Brooke seems like there's enough material to at least warrant a meeting
19:06 could be wrong, though
19:06 rangi back
19:07 slef I'm 90% sure there will be a Gold Sponsor package where you get everything we're offering in exchange for amounts > N, so if any organisations would like to suggest numbers, please do.
19:07 Brooke: you might be right now, or at least there will be soon.
19:07 * Brooke nods.
19:07 slef Any first suggestions for a time/date? Give me 5 and I'll run a poll.
19:09 OK, I'll pull 5 out of my nose

19:43 libsysguy chat log
19:43 log?
19:43 wahanui log is at http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/
19:44 mle anyone want travel help from london to edinburgh?  I can help you book tickets. if we book in the next few days some cheap ones may still be available.
19:44 slef see if you can spot where the mail text came from :)
19:44 mle: I'm thinking that travel info and an "ask us" form on http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/ might be worthwhile.
19:45 rangi mle: im flying in
19:45 so any tips from getting from the airport into the general conf vicinity would be handy
19:45 mle slef just reminding folk that the cheap train tickets need to be booked asap
19:45 rangi also, pre paid sim cards .. with data plans
19:45 slef mle: I'm guessing booking at http://www.eastcoast.co.uk/ is the cheapest trains London-Edinburgh? Web-only fares, collect at King's Cross departure gates.
19:45 rangi they are able to be bought easily?
19:46 mle rangi we can check that
19:46 rangi thanks mle
19:46 slef rangi: yes, walk into shops. Good to check for best deals closer to the time.
19:46 rangi cool
19:46 jcamins rangi: getting from EDI airport to the city is very easy.
19:46 rangi yay!
19:46 * slef did this for a prepaid internet dongle just before Christmas.
19:47 cait :)
19:48 slef mle: "Tickets are now available for travel up to and including Friday 08 June 2012, Click below to get ticket alerts" on http://www.eastcoast.co.uk/ so I guess it's not quite time to book if you want to return after hackfest.
19:48 cait also flying in
19:48 all booked
19:48 slef cait: to EDI?
19:48 cait yes
19:48 via amsterdam
19:48 slef KLM?
19:48 cait from zürich
19:48 yes
19:48 slef cool, not used them for years
19:49 cait I flew to marseille with them last year
19:49 was ok
19:49 tajoli left #koha
19:50 jcamins KLM is great for EDI-NYC.
19:50 rangi eythian and I are coming in on singapore (then i guess BA)
19:51 same day as cait
19:51 cait yep about 2 hours later than me
19:51 rangi so we will probably travel from the airport together
19:51 cait or 1?
19:51 can't remember, but will probably be well rested and wait for the 2 tired nzers
19:53 rangi we'll have been travelling for 40+ hours
19:53 so will probably be zombies
19:53 so someone awake would be helpful
19:53 cait :)
19:53 I will be glad
19:53 to help
19:53 kathryn hi cait - he he good luck with that!
19:54 cait I had jo picking me up from the airport in wellington
19:54 and was soooo glad to see her
19:54 I asked her later how she recognized me
19:54 I think she said something like I looked most tired and glad to be finally there
19:54 jcamins cait: I suggest you hold up a sign that says "WELCOME TO [SOMEWHERE-NOT-EDINBURGH]"
19:54 cait lol
20:00 eythian_ joined #koha
20:06 libsysguy sekjal i've been gone most of the day...did I miss anything in regards to 5549?
20:07 sekjal libsysguy:  I just sent rangi my patch
20:07 fixes suspension in days, and that 'inverse' bug
20:08 libsysguy eek i better send rangi my patch as well
20:09 rangi you better!
20:09 whats your patch for libsysguy ?
20:09 sekjal there are going to be some merge conflicts rebasing this branch for latest master
20:09 one in smart-rules.tt
20:09 libsysguy I found an error in circ/returns.pl during dropbox mode
20:10 returns.pl didn't know where the format_date function was
20:10 sekjal a small one in catalogue/moredetail.pl, and updatedatabase.pl (of course)
20:10 libsysguy:  I fixed that!
20:10 rangi ill rebase it too and push it
20:10 libsysguy dang it sekjal
20:10 rangi ignore my email
20:10 rangi actually no i wont
20:10 ill merge from master
20:10 libsysguy sekjals skill is far superior to mine
20:11 sekjal sorry, libsysguy, I thought it was a bug I'd made
20:11 rangi rebasing breaks history, and will make it a mess for anyone who has pulled that branch
20:11 libsysguy it might have been, I checked out and was testing
20:11 rangi so ill just merge master in and fix conflicts and push it
20:11 sekjal there is also a DB rev number issue in the code pushed for 7301
20:12 erk, 7310
20:12 mtj chat log?
20:12 wahanui chat log is http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
20:13 rangi sekjal: the patch from libsysguy guy arrived .. which i ignore right? but no sign of yours yet
20:13 jcamins logs?
20:13 wahanui logs are at http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/
20:13 rangi same site
20:13 just in case you were wondering
20:14 my computer at home :)
20:14 libsysguy yes rangi ignore mine
20:15 jcamins rangi: I didn't notice that wahanui had responded, but early I saw him not respond to "chat log," only to "logs."
20:15 sekjal rangi:  blast, my laptop is not set up right
20:15 jcamins *earlier
20:15 mtj logs?
20:15 wahanui logs are at http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/
20:15 mtj logs?
20:15 wahanui somebody said logs was http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
20:15 rangi sekjal: can you push it somewhere and ill cherry-pick ?
20:15 if thats easier
20:16 sekjal rangi: sent another way
20:16 will show up as attached patch file
20:17 rangi sweet as
20:17 brb getting coffee
20:20 sekjal rangi:  actually, hang on
20:20 libsysguy's patch fixed dropboxmode
20:20 mine fixed debar date
20:20 so we'll conflict on [% USE KohaDates %], but otherwise, both patches should be necessary
20:21 rangi right ill do both then :)
20:21 libsysguy sweet!
20:22 sekjal I think I need a nap
20:22 libsysguy brb
20:22 sekjal or a beer
20:25 oh, geeze, 34 bugs in the QAQ
20:25 I had it so well under control!
20:25 rangi right applying patches now

21:31 slef rangi: no problem. I'm in that bit of the code this weekk.
21:32 jcamins gmcharlt: bag was looking for you.
21:32 bag no not really - but hi gmcharlt
21:33 slef anyone know if I can lengthen my login timeout on the wiki, or if a sysadmin (gmcharlt? thd?) can?
21:33 it's rather irritating going afk for an hour, then having to log in again
21:34 jcamins: how does one reach the city from Edinburgh Airport then?
21:35 jcamins slef: these are the directions from the international arrivals area. Domestic arrivals are slightly closer, I think.
21:35 When you come through customs, there is a clearly marked exit on your right.
21:35 Ignore it.
21:35 If you go out that door, you will get hopelessly lost and confused.
21:36 Walk straight by it, between the car rental stand and the exchange place.
21:36 It's not a very long walk, but you do want to walk up a bit.
21:36 (inside the terminal)
21:36 Eventually you reach a bank of doors. I think there are three. Go out.
21:37 You should see the big blue Airlink buses.
21:37 There's also a sign that says "Fly by bus."
21:37 Go up to the bus.
21:38 slef jcamins: that the one that drops you at Waverley Bridge?
21:38 jcamins slef: yeah.
21:38 slef jcamins: cool, thanks.
21:38 jcamins slef: you're welcome.
21:39 Actually, I think the last time I was there they even had a kiosk selling tickets.
21:39 (under the big sign that said "Fly by bus")
21:39 slef jcamins: when do these details date from?
21:39 jcamins slef: 2009.
21:40 So, I guess it's been a while, at this point.
21:40 The bus page is http://www.flybybus.com/
21:40 cait wow
21:40 you have an amazing memory
21:40 jcamins cait: did I mention that the flight attendents between AMS and EDI knew me?
21:41 wizzyrea later peeps

21:41 jcamins cait: because I flew so often!
21:41 slef jcamins: OK if I post that to the wiki?

22:03 edveal left #koha
22:04 jcamins mbalmer: I don't think your reply attached.
22:04 mbalmer my hotel wifi is shaky, to say the least...
22:05 in short, it's teh least invasice approach and a generic solution (aka sth from CPAN) won't work.
22:05 Koha as is, is deeply MySQLified.
22:06 jcamins mbalmer: why won't a generic solution work?
22:07 mbalmer so it's not enough for other DBs to create a functional equivalent, it has to be functional equivalent and mimick MySQL (which is wrong on son many levels, of course)
22:07 jcamins mbalmer: wouldn't it be better to work to actually eliminate MySQLisms?
22:08 mbalmer jcamins, just look how "SHOW COLUMS FROM" in C4/ImportExport…. is being used.
22:08 It totally ecpects a MySQL result.
22:08 bad code...
22:08 jcamins mbalmer: okay, so why don't we fix the code?
22:09 mbalmer dunno.  we provide a solution.
22:09 jcamins With the long term goal being stability, sustainability, and general good quality, that would seem preferable.
22:09 mbalmer minimally invasive.
22:10 yeah, long term goals...
22:10 jcamins Minimally invasive is good, but then we end up with things like SQL Helper.
22:10 mbalmer did you actually look at what we proposed?
22:11 jcamins mbalmer: I did.
22:11 mbalmer and, you are against it?
22:11 jcamins Not categorically, I just don't see enough benefit to justify writing our own special-purpose DBI layer.
22:12 mbalmer you have stock in MySQL ? ;)
22:12 I see A LOT OF BENEFIT in this solution.
22:12 and it is not a DBI layer.
22:12 rangi if its in capitals it must be true
22:13 mbalmer comeon, you know exactly what this is about.  generating SQL fragment for the DB in use, not more, not less.
22:13 It is not even a layer of abstraction imo.
22:14 rangi, it's only louder, not truer ;)
22:14 jcamins mbalmer: that's probably why I look at it and don't think it's a good idea while you look at it and think it is. Having read through the code, I would consider it a special-purpose abstraction layer.
22:14 oleonard joined #koha
22:15 oleonard bag around?
22:15 bag we are on it oleonard
22:15 mbalmer jcamins, well we can wait forever to support postgresql.  here is a solution that works, that is clean and easy to understand, and which does the job right.
22:15 bag :D
22:15 oleonard Gotcha, thanx
22:15 bag been watching it for a bit now ;)
22:16 looks to be OOM...
22:16 mbalmer and it does not need us to changed the DB stuff to much or apply a complete new paradigm.
22:16 jcamins And if I'm abstracting things, I want something truly abstract.
22:17 So when next-cool-RDMS comes along, *I* don't have to do the work to support it.
22:17 mbalmer: provided the work doesn't break existing functionality, I don't suppose I really care that much.
22:17 mbalmer it does not break existing stuff.  that was one of the prerequisites.
22:18 and it's really a baby-steps approach
22:18 jcamins Oh, one other requirement from me: it has to be not horrible to maintain.
22:20 mbalmer sorry, we can't accomplish that, since it has to be written in Perl ;P

22:36 Judit joined #koha
22:36 Judit hi
22:36 wahanui hey, Judit
22:39 magnuse hiya Judit
22:41 mbalmer what you using as self checkout hardware? and what os?
22:42 what _are_ you using ...
22:43 rangi so Koha uses DBI already right
22:43 and DBI has column_info
22:44 so thats show columns done for all RDBMS supported by DBI
22:44 has tables() too
22:44 for a list of table names
22:44 mbalmer if only it was used that way in Koha
22:45 rangi well how about instead of doing tableColumns
22:45 in DBQ
22:45 in 2 ways 1 for postgres and one for mysql
22:45 Judit is there a list somewhere with the official supported browsesr for koha
22:45 rangi just do it one way .. using DBI
22:45 oleonard Judit, Any modern browser other than Internet Explorer (for the staff client)
22:45 mbalmer as we said many times, we want a minimal invasive solution.
22:45 jcamins Judit: there is not, but basically any recent browsers that aren't IE should work. :)
22:45 maximep left #koha
22:46 oleonard Judit, And any modern browser for the OPAC
22:46 rangi how is that more invasive?
22:46 mbalmer we just change the SQL, nothing more.
22:46 rangi we already have a DBI handle
22:46 you must be changing somehting to call tableColumns
22:46 mbalmer and we just make sure the SQL works.  No other changes.
22:46 rangi else whats the point
22:47 oh look you do
22:47 -            my $query = 'SHOW COLUMNS FROM ' . $table;
22:47 -            my $sth = $dbh->prepare($query);
22:47 +            my $dbq = C4::DBQ->dbq;
22:47 +            my $sth = $dbh->prepare($dbq->tableColumns($table));
22:47 now why not have tableColumns work in a Database independent manner, instead of just for 2 db's ?
22:48 Judit thanks
22:48 mbalmer it is DB independent.
22:48 rangi only if your db is postgres or mysql
22:48 mbalmer we just provide two implementations, more can be added.
22:48 rangi look
22:48 if you just use column_info
22:48 * oleonard heads for bed... luckily in this room it's not far!
22:48 rangi you'd have 16
22:49 mbalmer unrealistic.
22:49 Koha is MySQL only.
22:49 rangi ok i give up
22:49 if you want to reimplement DBI.pm
22:49 go for it
22:49 im just pointing out a 3 line change would make your patch now be able to show columns for 16 databases not just 2
22:50 mbalmer you don't see the real problem.
22:50 rangi yes im stupid
22:50 youve told me that before
22:50 sekjal joined #koha
22:51 mbalmer it makes no sense to discuss with you.  whenever you are ready to enter a technical discussion, please tell me.
22:51 rangi *sigh*
22:51 i gave you code snippets .. but whatever im done
22:52 sekjal: you back again?
22:52 bag heya sekjal
22:52 sekjal rangi, bag:  yes, I'm back
22:52 can't stay away from #koha!
22:52 bag sekjal++
22:53 awesome!
22:53 it's better than drugs, MAN
22:53 magnuse yeah man, like totally
22:54 mbalmer rangi, even if the SQL statements are DB independent, Koha still expects MySQL results.  Which is wrong on so many levels.  E.g. it expects a column 'Field' as result of 'SHOW COLUMNS FROM'.  That is non-portable, to say the least.
22:54 rangi i understand that
22:55 thats why i propose making it use DBI->table_info and DBI->column_info
22:55 mbalmer so we made the PostgreSQL part return that information like it came from MySQL, as 'Field'
22:55 rangi fwiw when i first wrote koha, it was written on postgres mysql support came later
22:55 and then the postgres ssupport got broken
22:56 but I use postgres at work on a daily basis, and I like it better than mysql
22:56 but i think that DBI has a routine to get column names that is db independent
22:56 mbalmer rangi, yes, in the end that is what needs to be done.  DBQ just enables us to use PostgreSQL right now without to many changes.  In the end, the DB layer has to be reworked a bit.
22:56 rangi and that we could just make your tableNames a wrapper to that
22:58 mbalmer stephane and I wanted to make the bare minimum to make it DB indepdendent.  of course you are right that in the end proper DBI usage is what we want.
22:59 * rangi goes to get coffee
22:59 mbalmer In the long term, C4::DBQ has no business in Koha.  It is really a transition vehicle, imo.
22:59 * sekjal is catching up... so this is all in regards to the work for bug 7365?
22:59 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7365 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Needs Signoff , Koha uses MySQL
22:59 magnuse mbalmer: would "proper DBI usage" be much harder to implement than C4::DBQ?
23:00 mbalmer sekjal, yes. and also look at the wiki page.
23:00 magnuse, we think yes.
23:01 we really wanted to be minimally invasive.  just do the very basic changes needed.
23:01 sekjal mbalmer:  reading...
23:01 mbalmer it's incomplete, of course.
23:04 even if we make the database layer DB independent, the upper layers of Koha still often expect MySQL results, that is part of the problem (or fun…)
23:05 sekjal I'm seeing 8 C4 modules that have some kind of "show columns from" call
23:05 most of them are on-offs, except ImportExportFramework.pm
23:05 rangi they all seem to want an array of column names
23:06 so if tableNames used column_info to do that .. could junk all of those ?
23:06 * jcamins has found a kitchen scale. :D
23:06 rangi baking jcamins ?
23:06 jcamins Apparently there are kitchen scales that support baker's percentages directly!
23:06 Judit u
23:06 can i have one
23:06 please
23:06 cjh bakers percentages?
23:06 jcamins rangi: not until we've moved, but the kitchen scale isn't moving with us, so I need a new one.
23:07 * cjh runs off to google
23:07 rangi ahhh
23:07 mbalmer even worse, in one place DESCRIBE is used, discarding all results, then SHOW COLUMNS FROM.  Some of the SQL code is really funky.
23:07 jcamins mbalmer: those are bugs. They need fixing, regardless of postgres/mysql use.
23:07 mbalmer ack.
23:07 and it's part of our patch, btw.
23:08 jcamins cjh: baker's percentages are awesome. Much easier than anything else.
23:08 cjh jcamins: if im reading this right it uses the quantity of flour as the base unit and then gives everything else relatively?
23:08 sekjal oh, nix that, 7 C4 modules... C4/Letters.pm has that area commented out
23:08 mbalmer so.  midnight here, need to catch some zzz .  cu tomorrow.
23:08 sekjal goodnight, mbalmer
23:09 mbalmer gn8 all!
23:09 sekjal oh, actually, 6... Auth_with_ldap uses that in it's docs, not the code
23:09 cjh bakers units make scaling the recipe easy :o
23:09 and by units, i mean percentages.
23:10 jcamins cjh: right.
23:11 cjh: and given that I bake... a lot... when I'm baking, that's useful.
23:11 eythian_bucklame just so long as the flours isn't measured in furlongs, or whatever you people use :)
23:12 *flour
23:12 cjh heh
23:12 Judit i hate the cup
23:12 so unclear
23:12 cjh but guessing is fun :p
23:12 Judit and there is australian cup and US cup
23:13 jcamins Judit: exactly!
23:13 Judit gram is the only sensible way
23:13 unfortunately most of the population thinks otherwise
23:13 eythian_bucklame and the liquid cup, and the fluffy cup, and the Elbonian cup...
23:13 jcamins Judit: and with my new kitchen scale, I will be able to use it!
23:13 eythian_bucklame and the gold cup
23:14 jcamins (the gram, that is)
23:14 Judit eythian :D
23:15 jcamins Kitchen scale ordered.
23:15 Judit which one?
23:15 wahanui it has been said that which one is it
23:15 Judit the baker percentage scale?
23:15 jcamins http://www.amazon.com/My-Weigh[…]top/dp/B001NE0FU2
23:15 Yup.
23:15 Judit ah
23:21 * jcamins taps his foot impatiently waiting for his new scale to arrive.
23:21 jcamins It'll just be another week or so.
23:21 Judit :)
