00:02 rangi well here's waht i would do
00:02 in opac-detail.pl
00:02 after if ( C4::Context->preference("HTML5MediaEnabled") ) {
00:03 $template = populate_html5($template);
00:03 }
00:03 and the in a module somewhere
00:03 sub populate_html5 {
00:03 my $template = shift;
00:03 do all that stuff
00:03 return $template;
00:04 }
00:04 now youre template variable in opac-detail.pl has all the params for html5 set
00:04 your even
00:04 that make sense?
00:04 drojf that does not sound very complicated
00:04 yes
00:04 rangi nope
00:05 drojf i will try that, thanks
00:05 rangi cool
00:05 drojf but now it's bedtime. 2am again :/
00:05 good night
00:05 rangi sleep well
00:05 drojf thanks :)

02:45 dcook If a hold is placed for a Not For Loan item (i.e. the holds policy has been over-ridden) and the item is checked in, no Hold found dialog appears. Instead, it seems says "Item not checked out".
02:45 I'm not certain how common this workflow would be, but it has been pointed out by a librarian and it does seem inconsistent with regular hold behaviour.
02:45 Am I missing something or is this a genuine bug?
02:46 jcamins_away That's the correct behavior.
02:47 Otherwise, it would notify for holds if someone dropped a reference copy of a popular book in the return slot.
02:47 dcook If there were a hold on it
02:47 jcamins_away Right.
02:47 dcook Which there could be, if the librarians decide to allow a hold on that item
02:47 jcamins_away If there were not a hold on it, it wouldn't be a problem, but we wouldn't expect any sort of notification. ;)
02:49 dcook Ordinarily
02:50 I suppose the constant putting of holds on a reference item is seen as quite exceptional
02:50 jcamins_away Or if there are two copies of the book, one of which is not for loan and one of which is.
02:50 (this is a very common configuration, at least here in the States)
02:50 Yes.
02:50 If you're putting holds specifically on reference books, that's probably a sign that you have your circulation rules configured wrong.
02:50 dcook I was just thinking that
02:50 jcamins_away (where wrong = not the way you want them to work)
02:51 dcook I bet that's exactly what's happening
02:52 jcamins_away Explain to them (again, probably;) that itemtype != genre, it's just one of the criteria used for circ rules.
02:52 dcook We don't have many academic clients, but for my own curiousity...how does Koha handle "reserve"/course materials
02:52 jcamins_away And, having imparted that wisdom (?) I think I'll get some sleep.
02:52 It doesn't.
02:52 dcook I suppose that would be an item type..
02:52 jcamins_away Yup.
02:52 dcook Hehe, thanks jcamins
02:52 Get some rest!
02:53 jcamins_away You just set the circ rules to match how you think reserves should work, and you're done.
02:53 Good night. (morning for you, I guess)

03:01 mtj hmm, any idea about this error....

03:02 looks like Koha/SearchEngine/Zebra/Search.pm refers to a file that does not exist...
03:03 namely ->  Data/SearchEngine/Zebra.pm
03:05 dcook Hmm
03:11 I know very little about perl modules themselves, but perl -c  Koha/SearchEngine/Zebra.pm works, despite saying "extends 'Data::SearchEngine::Zebra';"
03:13 mtj my hunch its a non-koha perl module, written by biblibre - that hasnt been published?
03:17 dcook Mmm, I'm not sure
03:17 mtj logged bug 8423 :)

03:27 Now if only I could stop finding/fixing bugs related to old versions of IE...
03:28 mtj ah, theres an easy fix for that... ;)
03:29 dcook It's only 1:30pm here. It's a bit early...
03:33 And now I can't reproduce the behaviour that was just happening a few minutes ago...:S
03:40 Hmm...not IE specific at all, but very sporadic...:S

05:56 * dcook_away glares at Acquisitions
05:57 dcook Does anyone actually use Acquisitions to keep track of finances? The way it handles tax makes zero sense.
05:57 No pun intended..
05:58 cait heh
05:58 there is a bug waiting for sign off
05:58 I think you would make some people very happy for looking into it
05:58 dcook 5335?
05:58 wahanui i think 5335 is conflicting too :(
05:58 cait bug 5335
05:58 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5335 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Needs Signoff , More granular VAT
05:58 dcook *shudder8
05:58 cait exactly that yes
05:58 yeah it's big
05:58 but it would be good to get started on it
05:59 especially because taxes might work differently in different countries
05:59 so we should get some opinions if it covers everything correctly
06:00 dcook True enough
06:00 I think I might be missing a few angles on it as well..
06:01 cait I am not sure where to start with it too...
06:01 maybe a wiki page with tests?
06:01 dcook I've had librarians tell me that they indicate that they want no tax applies but that it is still being applied
06:01 But I don't even see how you would do that aside from the gist syspref :S
06:01 cait I always suspected problems in there...
06:01 rangi dcook: the vendor
06:01 cait but we didn't get reports from a library so far
06:01 dcook: yep - the vendor
06:01 rangi you have 2 radio buttons
06:01 dcook Mmm, nice one rangi
06:01 rangi invoice includes tax
06:02 cait and ideally it would beon order line level too - because we have different taxes fr different type of media...
06:02 rangi listprice includes tax
06:02 dcook Although...
06:02 cait I think the vat one might enable that
06:02 rangi yep we did that for hlt im pretty sure cjh submitted it
06:02 and discount on orderline
06:03 cait hm, I think there was a problem with one of his patches, becaue hlt does not have to pay tax
06:03 the whole tax thing is a bit scary to me
06:03 because I am not 100% sure how we want it to work
06:03 and hat makes testing nearly impossible
06:05 dcook Exactly
06:06 cait but that way... it just sits there
06:06 which is also not good
06:06 wahanui okay, cait.
06:06 cait lol
06:07 forget which is
06:07 we should at least start discussion to figure out how it should work
06:07 so we can start testing
06:07 rangi and test plans
06:07 cait correct
06:07 rangi and specs of how it was designed to work
06:07 cait francharb put something on the wiki I think
06:08 and send notes about the terms
06:08 I think he would be happy to answer questions too
06:08 rangi yup
06:08 linking all that in would be good if you can find it
06:08 cait I think we might need a table
06:08 with math
06:08 *shudder*
06:08 for the different settings in the vendor
06:08 how should the price be calculated for each
06:09 dcook How the gist syspref figures in as well
06:09 rangi gist is the default
06:09 cait ^^
06:09 vendor overwrites it
06:09 rangi you can override it on per vendor basis
06:10 cait and oderline should overwrite vendor later (I think)
06:10 rangi eg amazon, you dont pay gst on
06:10 cait hm we do
06:10 rangi we dont
06:10 cait yeah, that's exactly what I meant earlier...
06:10 rangi thats why its on the vendor level
06:10 cait have to be careful with that
06:10 we have different taxes for electronic media, newspapers and books
06:10 dcook This is the kind of thing that would be good to document
06:10 rangi we dont pay gst on imported goods under a certain cost
06:11 the only way to do it is to set that up on a per vendor basis
06:11 you can not have any sane system that works for all
06:11 dcook Question...
06:11 wahanui i heard question was "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?"
06:11 cait so we need an insane system? ;)
06:11 rangi no
06:12 we need to stop trying
06:12 and realise that you need a lot of configuration options
06:12 * dcook O_o
06:12 cait ok, configuration
06:12 wahanui somebody said configuration was not so hard
06:12 rangi before it can work for everyone
06:13 also, hlt have never failed an audit in 12 years, lets not make next year the first
06:13 ie, DONT BREAK IT MORE
06:13 :)
06:13 cait yeah, that would be bad :(
06:13 but i really think it does some wonky things currently that shoudl be fixed
06:14 and ideally in a way that at least it kinda works the same on all pages
06:14 because right now it's just very confusing
06:14 rangi one persons wonky is another persons working exactly how it should
06:14 assuming somethign is broken and fixing it, is how we got here
06:14 cait can we agree on consistency? :)
06:14 rangi no
06:14 thats the point
06:14 we can agree on it needs to work inconsistently
06:14 cait I meant like the list price being calculated for the same settings the same on dfferentpages
06:14 rangi and that configuration should allow you to do that
06:15 cait that kind of consistency
06:15 there was a spreadsheet from jransom on the wiki on a bug
06:15 dcook Mmm, I've been of the same mind as cait
06:15 cait for taxes
06:15 where she reported it worked wrong
06:16 dcook Calculations seem to vary from page to page :S
06:16 cait I really didn't understand it
06:16 to me it looked all wrong
06:16 *sigh*
06:16 I really think it needs some work currently - but not sure where to start!

07:03 dcook wb rangi
07:03 rangi thanks
07:05 dcook: wanna learn about git bisect?
07:06 it will help you track down the exact commit that is causing the behaviour
07:06 dcook Sure. That would be fab
07:07 P.S. I was going to say that before you mentioned the sweet part ;)
07:07 rangi :)
07:09 ok, so what you do is checkout the commit where it worked
07:09 asaurat joined #koha
07:09 rangi git checkout commitid
07:09 then git bisect start
07:10 verify it still works
07:10 git bisect good
07:10 git checkout a commit when you know it doesnt work, eg
07:10 git checkout v3.08.02
07:10 verify it doesnt
07:10 git bisect bad
07:11 then git will check one out for you, verify again, if it works, git bisect good
07:11 if not bad
07:11 keep doing that it, and it will get to the commit that caused the issue
07:12 dcook Intriguing...I'm going to give it a whirl
07:12 Thanks, rangi :)
07:12 I wonder if it ever worked though..
07:12 Oh wait...
07:12 *facepalm*
07:13 I don't think it ever advanced the barcode after adding the item, but yes...the duplicate message...
07:13 kf joined #koha
07:14 rangi hey kf
07:15 kf hi rangi :)
07:16 paul_p joined #koha
07:34 dcook Hmmm, not quite sure what to do with the results of this git bisect
07:35 kf what did it say?
07:35 Amit_Gupta heya kf
07:35 dcook The warning appears when I got back to Bug 3414, but it still wasn't appearing the step before at Bug 7249
07:35 kf hi Amit_Gupta
07:35 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3414 minor, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, gcollum, RESOLVED FIXED, Invalid XHMTL in parcels.tmpl and general cleanup of html needed.
07:35 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7249 enhancement, P3, ---, gmcharlt, Pushed to Master , Report webservices
07:35 dcook I assume there are commits inbetween that I'm missing?
07:35 rangi how are you doing it?
07:35 kf sorry, confused
07:36 rangi afret your first good and bad, you dont check things out anymore
07:36 you just say git bisect good
07:36 or git bisect bad
07:36 dcook Yeah, that's how I reached that point
07:36 rangi and git picks you a new one
07:36 dcook 7249 was bad
07:36 Then the git picked 3414
07:36 rangi and its good?
07:36 dcook Which was good
07:36 rangi so do git bisect good
07:36 and get another one
07:36 dcook Mmm
07:37 rangi keep doing it until it stops giving you new commits
07:37 dcook Crucial step. Great :)
07:40 Hmm, seems 7249 is the bad one
07:40 kf bug 7249
07:40 wahanui hmmm... bug 7249 is particularly cool.
07:40 rangi whats the commit sha ?
07:40 kf bug 7249?
07:40 wahanui rumour has it bug 7249 is particularly cool

07:40 dcook 24213703d5906d4bfff1a8e1c9e079bd11523ba7
07:40 kf hm, completely different area
07:42 rangi yeah, not sure how that could do it
07:43 kf what did git bisect say?
07:43 dcook 24213703d5906d4bfff1a8e1c9e079bd11523ba7 is the first bad commit
07:43 But yeah...no idea how
07:43 kf hmmm
07:43 what if the problem is realted to javascript?
07:43 are there errors on the page?
07:44 and maybe it was still in the cache?
07:44 dcook I figure it's likely a js issue
07:44 Since I think the data validation is done by js
07:44 The problem is that newer versions of koha aren't picking up barcode duplications in item records made during an order
07:46 kf yeah, I am a bit suspicious that we got the wrong commit
07:46 does reverting it fix the issue for you?
07:47 dcook Haven't tried yet
07:49 Hmm, couldn't revert it
07:50 Or at least I have errors shooting up
07:53 kf hm sorry
07:53 not sure how to resolve :(
07:56 dcook I suppose I can always redo the bisect
07:56 I just tried now, and sure enough ...it works fine in 7249
07:56 I must've made a mistake the first time around...there was a lot of clicking O_O
07:56 Blahhh...it's 6...time for food or study or...something other than bugs :P
07:57 kf dcook: I think you ahve to make sure the js is reloaded and not cached
07:57 each time
07:58 so you are sure it works/doesn'twork
07:58 dcook Any tips? :)
07:59 kf hm I think there it's something like shift + f5... or similar
07:59 there is a short cut I always forget to make it reload the js when refreshing the page
08:01 dcook Hmm
08:01 I think Shift + click refresh might do it
08:01 And I was doing that...
08:01 I might've missed one or two times though

09:40 eythian well, I bet the beer here is better ;)
09:41 paul_p eythian = 2 days ago, with my wife, we took a boat, and swimmed in the see. Last sunday, dinner on the beach, this lunch wife and children on the beach. Hard times here ;-)
09:41 eythian = here you'll have Pastis !!!
09:41 drojf paul_p: have you seen my post about your plack stats on koha-devel?
09:41 paul_p drojf yep. I just had nothing to add
09:42 drojf paul_p: do you know if you had swap enabled?
09:42 paul_p drojf I think so, but, with 2GB on my laptop, it's usually unused
09:42 drojf paul_p: ok then i wonder about your "all at once" numbers still
09:42 eythian paul_p: that stuff looks a bit concerning :)
09:42 gaetan_B eythian: o/
09:43 eythian hiya gaetan_B
09:43 gaetan_B eythian: it's very likely that i won't be in Marseille this saturday evening in the end ! So paul_p will take care of you i guess !
09:44 paul_p eythian = in this case, the best option is that I'll pick you at the airport = i'll be in my bed sooner !
09:44 eythian ah, good to know.
09:45 paul_p: sounds good :) yeah, it wasn't until yesterday that I realised the flights are at a not-so-great time.
09:45 paul_p eythian = plus, you'll be one of the first going into my new car (got it yesterday)
09:46 eythian ohh :)
09:46 paul_p eythian = with no extra charge, of course
09:47 eythian even better!

11:37 eythian it's OK, paul_p has promised me good weather in Marseille :)
11:37 drojf yeah, you better really stay in southern parts of germany then too
11:39 eythian drojf: if change tracking is on you can see them
11:39 (LO can work with these, I've done it before)
11:41 drojf LO says it would show them, but i don't see anything so i suppose it's not used by the person that sent it

12:05 nengard @later tell jcamins does the new authority linker run when you import authorities via the command line and/or when you batch import marc records - basically, I'm asking if we need to run the linker manually after doing an authority or marc record import
12:05 huginn nengard: The operation succeeded.
12:06 kf nengard: yes
12:06 eythian nengard: when doing it from the command line, I think that is the case. I'm not sure about the web interface, but probably.
12:06 kf knowing jared it's probably in the documentation somewhere too
12:06 * eythian begins a 3.4->3.8 upgrade.
12:06 nengard yes I have to run the linker after doing imports?
12:07 kf yes
12:07 nengard okey dokey
12:07 so ?.. now i have an enhancement request / problem
12:07 Amit_Gupta heya nengard
12:07 nengard regular users can't manually run the linker
12:07 so that means that we have to run it for them after every import
12:07 of marc records
12:08 hi Amit
12:08 kf hm
12:08 I am not sure for the staged marc import
12:08 yu might want to wait for jared's answer about that
12:08 nengard well I'm hoping not for the marc import :)
12:08 will do

12:31 nengard what about after importing marc?
12:32 jcamins It depends.
12:33 If you import using the stage MARC tool, it will link.
12:33 bulkmarcimport is considered harmful.
12:33 eythian I consider it my most used script :)

12:46 * eythian prepares to delete a production database, having taken about 20 backups first...
12:46 jcamins Yikes!
12:47 eythian fixing the MyISAM issue I was having.
12:47 marcelr hi jcamins
12:47 eythian but it requires dropping everything and reloading the fixed database in.
12:48 jcamins Good morning.
12:48 marcelr jcamins: what about your report on opac auth search?
12:49 ago43 joined #koha
12:50 jcamins marcelr: my personal opinion has always been that authority search in the OPAC was wrong, and should match the functioning search on the Intranet.
12:50 The reason I did not change it from the start is that clearly someone disagreed, since a great deal of code went into making it inconsistent.
12:50 eythian ...and just realised I'd loaded the wrong schema version. Surprised that didn't explode on me.
12:51 easy to fix at least
12:51 jcamins eythian: it'll just upgrade
12:51 eythian jcamins: no, I loaded a 3.4 into a 3.8 schema
12:51 jcamins Oh. Hm.
12:52 eythian It'll take about 10 minutes to redo with the right one, so not a big issue
12:52 marcelr jcamins: some time ago these searches were dropped; do not know where that came from
12:53 kf1 I tend to agree with marcel
12:53 jcamins marcelr: you'd consider that evidence that the alternate indexes are no longer wanted? :)
12:53 BobB joined #koha
12:53 kf1 I don't see why it should be different
12:55 jcamins Hm.
12:55 marcelr jcamins: no i would have liked to keep them
12:55 but i think that opac and staff could be the same
12:55 jcamins marcelr: I mean, you'd consider that evidence that the alternate indexes can be replaced by the "normal" indexes?
12:56 marcelr well, why should we have them different?
12:56 jcamins I don't think we should, but the git log had indistinct notes about needing separate indexes for the OPAC, as I recall.
12:57 marcelr ok, i should look that up
12:57 jcamins Let me see if I can find it.
12:59 JesseM joined #koha
13:00 jcamins Hm.
13:01 I'm not coming across it now, but I remember seeing it when I was working on bug 7284.
13:01 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7284 major, P3, ---, jcamins, RESOLVED FIXED, Authority matching algorithm improvements
13:01 marcelr well, i try a search too
13:03 jcamins However, I'm happy to do a follow-up that changes the indexes, so that if paul_p disagrees, he can just not push the follow-up.
13:04 marcelr did he disagree ? is there a unimarc problem involved?
13:05 jcamins No, but he's one of the only people still around who would remember why it was necessary to have different sets of indexes.
13:06 (rangi and hdl might too, but I don't think many of the people who wrote the original indexing are still working on Koha)
13:07 marcelr if we now add corresponding indexes, we add functionality (back) and harm nobody?
13:07 eythian kf1: why do your emails end with 'J'?
13:08 kf1 because oulook is stupid
13:08 eythian e.g.: "...I only think we should stop it from happening in the first place J"
13:08 kf1 it's a smiley
13:08 :)
13:08 like this
13:08 I forgot to tell it to send as text - sorry!
13:08 jcamins kf1: is that why so many people end their e-mails with J!
13:08 marcelr jcamins: if you look at my questions, i was also wondering if some of these indexes are actually used..
13:09 kf1 jcamins: I guess so
13:09 annoying.
13:09 jcamins Any = real keyword
13:10 eythian I think I'm viewing it in HTML
13:10 there is also a text part
13:10 <span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family​:Wingdings;color:#1F497D'>J</span>
13:10 jcamins Match/match-heading = all heading forms (in MARC21, 1xx, 4xx, and 5xx)
13:10 eythian I probably don't have wingdings
13:10 kf ah, then it' because you don't have wingdings?
13:10 anyway, it's weird it replaces it with wingdings in the first place.
13:11 eythian I have webdings, but in that it's a small desert island
13:11 mveron joined #koha
13:11 jcamins Heading-main = main entry, can't search subfields (1xx $a)
13:11 Heading = main entry, can search subfields (1xx)
13:12 marcelr was that the point staff looking in subfields and public not or so?
13:14 jcamins I don't think so, because the staff client defaults to not searching subfields.
13:15 marcelr what is the use of staff using Heading-Main ? why not Heading?
13:15 jcamins I don't know.
13:15 It's well documented in the interface that that's how it works, though.
13:16 marcelr in the manual?
13:16 jcamins I think maybe it has to do with UNIMARC?
13:16 No, actually in the interface.
13:16 It's easy to miss, but if you go to the authority search, it says "($a only)"
13:17 marcelr ok see it now
13:17 :)
13:17 eythian I think you mean "<span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:​Wingdings;color:#1F497D'>J</span>", marcelr
13:18 marcelr no
13:18 ;)
13:18 jcamins Hehe.
13:19 marcelr jcamins: we/you could raise the point on dev list ?
13:19 jcamins Sure.
13:20 marcelr if we get rid of grs, it will become at least easier again
13:20 now we have too much options
13:20 marc unimarc grs dom etc.
13:20 eythian > libhtml-template-pro-perl was installed automatically;  it is being removed because all of the packages which depend upon it are being removed
13:20 :D
13:20 jcamins Agreed.

15:30 I need some help configuring Koha to send emails via gmail.
15:31 eythian http://blog.jonloh.net/11/04/2[…]smtp-relay-ubuntu <-- Morthland
15:32 Koha doesn't use an SMTP server, it just uses the server's local mail system, and that passes it along.
15:32 Morthland How can I trigger Koha to send an email?
15:32 I just don't know how to test.
15:33 eythian send a cart to yourself, or something like that.
15:33 Morthland Using the Opac?
15:33 eythian set an account to get notified when things are checked out, and check out books.
15:33 yeah
15:34 Morthland then do I have to run process_message_queue?
15:35 eythian probably
15:35 I can't remember if carts go through that or not.
15:35 Morthland I think that using the method I am now with nullmailer,
15:35 I define my username in that script
15:36 oleonard carts don't go through the message queue
15:36 Morthland So then, that email wont work
15:36 kf eythian: they do not
15:36 ah, oleonard was faster :)
15:36 eythian ah yes, I was writing a patch to make them do that actually
15:37 kf yep, and asked if you also did the account mail, because that's the only one we don't want to go there, or at least not without anonymizing it (passwords)

16:05 wizzyrea you use the circulation rules
16:05 * jcamins tries to to say "told you so."
16:05 jcamins *not to say
16:06 maximep ok, just set a circulation rule in hours as the unit
16:07 then how do I checkout with a due date in hours ?
16:07 jcamins maximep: if you create a new circulation rule, you can choose to do it in hours instead of days.
16:07 maximep: I actually haven't used hourly loans at all, but I think if your circulation rule is set, you just check the item out the usual way.
16:08 nengard jcamins is right
16:08 just check it out and the rule should make it due in X number of hours
16:08 wizzyrea yea, ez pz
16:09 maximep hmmm so I set today as the due date

20:30 that could work.

20:39 drojf that more searches link list goes crazy when i click on "more searches"
20:39 wizzyrea define "crazy"
20:40 drojf when i open the link its all ok, i see the list. when i click in more searches, the list vanishes. when i click it again, it reappears but is too much left and a little to much up
20:41 like a third of it is out of that box on the left side
20:41 wizzyrea yep it's a side effect of trying to force it not to be in a drop down.
20:41 on initial page load
20:42 drojf ok
20:42 wizzyrea I haven't figured out how to fix it yet

21:00 before*
21:01 drojf i don't know. but it would make sense if it did.

21:04 it doesnt look at the item any closer than that
21:04 so doesnt check if its lost, or missing, or whatever
21:04 it just checks this is issued to someone, and it should have been returned by now
21:04 yay bug 8268
21:05 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8268 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Pushed to Master , Koha should offer way to backup entire db
21:05 wizzyrea gotya
21:05 YAY
21:05 trea YAY
21:05 rangi i should have put that in a link to the biblionix dude
21:06 drojf rangi: but it's not truly open if it is not in the format that makes import in his closed system easiest for him ;)
21:06 rangi :-)
21:07 my comment wasnt too harsh eh?
21:07 drojf not for me it wasn't
21:07 rangi i mean robin did spend a bunch of time helping him with his schema earlier
21:08 which means that coming in saying "If your goal is truly opennes .." makes you a bit of a prick
21:09 imho
21:11 drojf and that coming from the guy with the closed system. hard to take that seriously
21:12 wizzyrea "please make it easier for me to convert your db"
21:12 drojf yes
21:12 wizzyrea erm… well… yea, that's fine yo.
21:14 rangi :)
21:14 send a patch yo
21:14 wizzyrea hehehehe
21:14 rangi thats what i shoulda said
21:15 comebacks they always get better after the fact :)

21:52 maximep left #koha
21:53 trea left #koha
22:38 mtj nah, he understands just fine
22:47 jcamins I'm helping!!!!!
22:47 rangi hehe
22:49 mtj ... the bug needs a  "wow, great idea!. patches welcome, bye ..."  reply
22:51 libsysguy developers will work for food not karma
22:55 mustard OK, I've been sitting here stewing. At the risk of suffering great persecution I'll take the flip side of the coin for argument...
22:55 I can always come up with a new nick I suppose...
22:56 jcamins lol
22:56 mustard: but you always sign in from the same IP. :P
22:56 mustard 1. There are more migrations from other ILSs to Koha than the reverse. Having a standard data export format would eventually benefit Koha at the expense of everybody else
22:57 jcamins: you can route irc over tor
22:57 jcamins mustard: ooh, clever.
22:57 drojf then you are the one tor user :P
22:57 mustard I could be ketchup and you'd never know
22:58 2. we almost got the great reaming tool applied to us when we migrated to Koha from S.
22:58 mtj mustard:  i love your idea!, patches welcome...
22:58 mustard Oh, to be clear, the reaming tool from S., not our migrating vendor
22:59 patches to tor or the reaming tool? anyway
22:59 jcamins mustard: it *is* a great idea. The problem is he's sold it... badly.
23:00 mustard Ok, but in killing the salesman it appears to kill the idea, which might have merit
23:00 jcamins I do genuinely hope that he'll provide a patch.
23:00 drojf …and staff access to apollo
23:00 jcamins Well, yeah.
23:01 rangi well people spent a bunch of time helping with the spec and fixing the xml
23:01 if you read the history of the bug
23:02 mtj he could also make a great start by publishing their existing ldif->apollo converter code
23:02 mustard and I didn't, admittedly
23:02 rangi theres your problem right there
23:02 mustard accept
23:02 rangi ohh version 5
23:03 mustard but it would be nice to keep the objective and possible benefits in mind, you know, what's that American saying...
23:03 jcamins Version 5?
23:03 mustard cutting off your ear to spite your nose or something
23:04 rangi who killed the salesman?
23:04 jcamins rangi: I thought he drove a car into a wall or something?
23:04 mustard well, we are talking metaphorically I hope....
23:04 rangi jcamins: a non release release announcement from non releases
23:04 who even metaphorically did that?
23:04 i suggest actually reading the bug might help
23:05 i know devils advocate is fun and all
23:05 but it doesnt have to be an occupation
23:05 jcamins rangi: a what? Huh?
23:05 I'm so confused.
23:05 Ohhhh.
23:05 Version 5.
23:07 rangi specifically
23:07 mtj mustard: i highly recommend reading the bug to assuage your stewage
23:07 rangi http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]g.cgi?id=6891#c20
23:07 huginn 04Bug 6891: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , LDIF interoperability - a proposal
23:08 mustard ah, it's over...
23:08 rangi he's not running anywhere, the discussion has been channelled into productive activity
23:08 mustard I did read part of the bug, but didn't go into the history
23:08 rangi and we have come to the crux of the issue
23:09 jcamins Ahhh.
23:09 * jcamins should have known.
23:11 mustard It's 1800 and I need a big hamburger.  Everyone have a pleasant day...
23:11 mustard left #koha
23:12 drojf (22:55:34) drojf: "There are even Koha consortia which are charging their librarians multi-thousand dollar extraction fees just to get their own data out!"
23:12 (22:55:35) drojf: hm
23:12 (22:55:37) drojf: i can imagine one
23:12 aaaand… i was right
23:13 rangi yup
23:14 papa joined #koha
23:16 drojf rangi: yes i was wondering how he would make ll cherrypick exactly THIS
23:18 jcamins pull request?
23:18 wahanui i guess pull request is better, for a big patch like that
23:29 rangi could do that, fork and pull request on github
23:34 slackers!
23:39 drojf "Play Zork on the Raspberry Pi" \o/
23:40 but better not now. good night
23:51 mtj oh god, who's stupid idea was that tweetbot...
23:53 bag heh
