00:04 wajasu i'm attempting bug 8215 again since a newer patch was submitted. but i'm afraid the patch writer is just leaving out a couple of perl routines that "copy" the code to the right directory on the intranet side.
00:04 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8215 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Needs Signoff , Add Course Reserves
00:05 wajasu should i look into editting Makefile.PL or something else.
00:05 jcamins No.
00:05 You should report it's not working and let the author do it.
00:05 wajasu this is the second time around.
00:06 jcamins If you're not sure what the problem is, there will be less confusion for all involved if you toss it back. Often what happens is the wrong patch gets uploaded.
00:06 If you'd like you can try to troubleshoot it.
00:07 wajasu i used find to find 3 perl routines.  He did it right for the OPAC, but left out these routines.  its only because i am doing a std install and he is probably dev install.
00:08 melia left #koha
00:09 jcamins Well, everything needs to work for a standard install.
00:39 wizzyrea1 joined #koha
00:41 wajasu ok, i see he needed a line in the target_map, and he's got unbalanced updatedatabase.pl    i'm throwing it back. its not evident.
00:52 mtj wajasu, you've selected an impressively difficult patch to sign-off on :p
01:24 wajasu i failed it.  its actually what my users wanted 3 years ago.  if instructors can tag their course/syllabus reading material, then maybe rules that keep at least one on the shelf, etc will get requested.
01:26 mtj ah, that makes more sense… and i thought you just liked a challenge :)
01:30 wizzyrea oh course reserves/
01:30 ?
02:12 libsysguy after having to use this twice I feel the need to post this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fow7iUaKrq4
02:30 wajasu that made my day.

07:49 happy pizza day!
07:55 kf hi magnuse :)
07:55 eythian hola magnuse
07:57 magnuse hiya kf and eythian

07:57 magnuse not too bad either
07:57 so what's happening in konstanz today`
07:58 s/`/?/
07:59 eythian Not a lot so far. I can only assume that they have a German-beer o'clock at 4pm precisely ;)
07:59 kf hopefully finishing the program for the workshop :)
07:59 eythian also that :)
07:59 kf eythian: I have been trying to implement that here... but with no success so far
07:59 more likely we will have icecream-o-clock ;)
08:00 magnuse icecream > beer
08:00 :-)
08:00 when is the workshop?
08:02 kf 28/29
08:02 magnuse still some time left then
08:02 in norway, alcohol in the workplace is a strict no-no
08:03 you can go to a pub after work, but drinking in the workplace would be frowned upon
08:03 kf yeah, I think it's similar here
08:04 eythian well, it's frowned upon before 4pm on a Friday.
08:04 in NZ
08:04 at Catalyst, anyway
08:04 Unless it's been a bad week, then you could probably get away with starting earlier ;)
08:04 kf heh
08:04 drojf lol
08:04 NZ++ :D
08:09 magnuse hehe
08:10 * magnuse takes padre for a spin
08:55 drojf1 joined #koha
09:03 magnuse huh, how am i supposed to get any work done when Firebug refuses to cooperate?
09:04 kf what does it do?
09:05 eythian it crashes firefox for me sometimes
09:05 just recently though
09:09 magnuse ah, seems to work after a restart of firefox
09:09 it just refused to do anything
09:14 eythian when it makes firefox die for me, it crashes on startup, which is annoying.
09:15 magnuse nah, that sounds like fun!
09:15 ;-)

12:11 liw magnuse, does not work for me
12:11 magnuse thanks liw
12:12 maybe fredericd needs to kick it?
12:13 mbalmer not reachable from .ch either
12:23 magnuse :-(
12:25 hdl1 anyone having a weird right truncation ? zebra_start 2.0.44
12:26 when used to search chien, it also finds chine
12:26 and chinois
12:27 oleonard joined #koha
12:32 druthb joined #koha
12:35 francharb joined #koha
12:36 jcamins_away hdl1: turn off everything except for QueryWeightFields, and see if the problem still occurs.
12:36 hdl1 jcamins_away: already done.
12:36 jcamins_away: zebra query is
12:36 jcamins_away Does it still happen with QueryWeightFields?
12:37 *turned off
12:37 * jcamins_away hasn't had any coffee.
12:37 hdl1 f @attr 1=1016 @attr 4=6 @attr 5=1 chien
12:37 and I get :
12:37 * druthb delivers coffee to jcamins_away, who isn't, quite, away, anymore.
12:39 hdl1 Conformité des ceremonies chinoises avec l'idolatrie grecque et romaine. Pour servir de confirmation à l'Apologie des dominicains missionnaires de la Chine. Par un religieux docteur & professeur en theologie
12:39 which is not having chien in any field
12:40 kf Chine < looks like fuzzy would effect it
12:40 jcamins_away What do you get with @attr 1=1016 @attr 4=6 chien?
12:41 hdl1 kf: Yes, but zebra search is : only right truncation, no fuzzy
12:41 jcamins_away: it works as expected without the @attr 5=
12:41 jcamins_away That's... bizarre.
12:41 * kf will leave it to the experts
12:42 hdl1 But my "wonder" is that it is NOT the expected behaviour.
12:42 jcamins_away: what zebra version are you using ?
12:42 jcamins_away 2.0.44.
12:43 What if you do a scan on 'chie'?
12:44 If the problem were in the indexing configuration, you should have a term chien[something]
12:45 hdl1 trying to use icu at the moment
12:45 will try your suggestion later.
12:45 export is export.
12:46 * jcamins_away has to head into the city, but will be back later.

13:24 eythian do we have any way of know when a particular subscription last received a new item, assuming that you don't create items for these?
13:24 like, is "last received date" hidden around somewhere?
13:25 kf hm I think so
13:25 have you checked the serialitems table?
13:26 ah no, serial
13:27 eythian hmm, could be promising. I was wading through the subscription table
13:27 kf ah no not there
13:27 I think serial has most likely what you need
13:28 libsysguy joined #koha
13:28 kf hi libsysguy
13:28 libsysguy?
13:28 wahanui libsysguy is, like, Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck or koha's youngest developer
13:28 libsysguy hehe
13:28 hi kf
13:29 oh oh kf I found out how to do that template thing you were trying to help with the other day
13:29 kf oh? :)
13:29 oleonard Ooh I love template things.
13:29 kf lol
13:30 libsysguy ok so a for loop without a pre-defined array
13:30 say I wanted a select statement in html from 1-30 but i didn't want to copy paste
13:30 you can do:
13:31 [% FOREACH number in [1 .. 30 ]%] <option>[" number "]</option> [% END %]
13:32 * oleonard was trying to do exactly that just yesterday
13:32 libsysguy turns out the spaces after the ..'s are important
13:32 oleonard Where did you find that libsysguy ?
13:32 kf hmm
13:32 magnuse heh, that's the kind of thing you could spend half a day figuring out...
13:33 kf [" or [%?
13:33 libsysguy deep in the fire of some template doc
13:33 magnuse ... or at least i could ...
13:33 libsysguy spent several days
13:33 kf just [ like an array reference
13:33 eythian @later tell nengard when you get to documenting the serials table, the status field is: 1=expected, 2=arrived, 3=late, 4=missing, 5=not available
13:33 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
13:33 libsysguy you can't use ( like a normal array
13:33 kf I wonder how the translation scripts like that
13:34 [" number "] < this part here
13:34 oleonard not [% number %] ?
13:34 libsysguy oh the number part…thats by mistake…it is [%
13:34 eythian http://template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/ <-- you guys know this, right?
13:34 kf ah right, then it should be ok :)
13:34 libsysguy sorry, I was so excited to type it and share
13:35 kf eythian: tell me to hit send.
13:35 wizzyrea joined #koha
13:35 * oleonard was searching for that syntax in that manual yesterday eythian
13:35 eythian g'wan, you can do it
13:35 kf I did.
13:35 libsysguy eythan that syntax isn't in there I don't think
13:37 eythian > You can also create simple numerical sequences using the .. range operator:
13:37 libsysguy i think I found it in a cpan tutorial for TT
13:37 soab...
13:37 eythian http://template-toolkit.org/do[…]al/Variables.html <-- 31% down this page
13:38 kf what, no line number?
13:38 libsysguy i scrolled by that countless times
13:38 tcohen joined #koha
13:38 eythian line numbers don't work in HTML so well, but my browser does give a percentage :)
13:39 kf only thought a line number would be more stylish
13:39 libsysguy cait last example under list references
13:39 eythian for an English workshop, you're still sending emails in some funny moon language.
13:40 kf the programme is in English :P
13:40 and I am sure you can live without me making you proof read my mails too
13:40 oleonard libsysguy: This doesn't work for me: [% FOREACH number in [ 1 .. 30 ]%] [% number %] [% END %]
13:41 eythian oleonard: caps?
13:41 I forget if it's sensitive or not, but I think it can be.
13:41 (looking at your 'in')
13:42 oleonard You're right eythian
13:44 Awesome, good find libsysguy
13:44 libsysguy thanks oleonard
13:45 also oleonard I've been working on using the calendar with ajax
13:45 so far its been a learning process with CGI but not aweful
13:45 talljoy joined #koha
13:51 wajasu you guys love template toolkit.  has anyone suggested using tt for our notices/emails?  after working in the overdue_notice and Letters.pm substitution stuff, we could leverage it.
13:52 kf we would stil have to keep it simple for libraries somehow
13:54 gmcharlt kf: I think it is -- Evergreen uses TT for its notices, and I haven't observed any particular difficulty on the part of librarians
13:54 at least, not more than *any* template language might be in general
13:54 wajasu i know we can convert our existing simple template to tt format for backend logic.  and if the library wanted more power, we could have a dropdown to switch per template.
13:54 magnuse gmcharlt: cool!
13:54 kf yep, cool :)
13:55 gmcharlt and of course, we can also define helper functions to make common tasks easier
13:55 edveal left #koha
13:56 sekjal joined #koha
13:56 wajasu if we could write a Template::Toolkit::Provider against the database, we could grab them from there, so when our hosting providers upgrade, the custom templates are in the db dump, and not external in the filesystem.
13:56 this also means all our custom biblio details pages could be in the db.
13:57 sekjal morning, #koha
13:58 wajasu i also saw MIME::Lite::TT::HTML which lets us send email notices via sendmail or directly to SMTP server (a syspref), so then many shops don't have to set up sendmail client.
14:01 jcamins_away wajasu: MIME::Lite::TT::HTML has some issues.
14:02 jcamins It's kind of brittle.
14:02 wajasu oh
14:03 jcamins I can't remember exactly what issues I had with it, but there were definitely issues.
14:04 Oh, yes, I remember.
14:04 You *have* to send the e-mail immediately.
14:04 wajasu but it would be nice to let a user edit their template/notice, with it rendered side by side in the page (via submit or ajax).
14:04 jcamins No queuing possible.
14:04 eythian well, we have our own email queuing thing already
14:04 jcamins eythian: right, but what MIME::Lite::TT::HTML creates isn't acceptable to sendmail.
14:05 eythian that would be an issue
14:05 jcamins That only took me several days of frustration to figure out.
14:05 Yep.
14:06 eythian hey, I have an SQL query that may return the same biblionumber several times, with different information after that, but I only want it to output the first one it sees. Is there a good way to do that?
14:07 group by seems prone to picking the wrong field later on.
14:07 and distinct looks for duplicate rows, not fields.
14:07 jcamins eythian: subquery with group by?
14:07 eythian jcamins: that's what I'm thinking really.
14:07 was hoping for something a bit nicer, but I guess it's OK
14:07 kf max()?
14:08 eythian no, max won't work as I'm not dealing with just numbers.
14:08 (serial issue fields, in this case)
14:09 I want the most recent one from the latest received serials.
14:09 kf hm was thinking to use it on the dates
14:09 eythian but then I lose my sequence field
14:12 wajasu i wonder if we can convert  <item>"<<biblio.title>>" by <<biblio.author>>, <<items.itemcallnumber>>, Barcode: <<items.barcode>> Fine: <fine>USD</fine></item>
14:12 to the equivalent TT template, then just sumbit it for processing. Then with our model backing it...  the FOREACH for items is the ticket i think.
14:12 jcamins wajasu: worth a try.
14:15 sekjal wow... I've been away for a while... we've got biblioitems.ean, and C4::Member::Statistics.... Koha's a different place
14:15 jcamins sekjal: I'm proposing replacing C4::Search with Evergreen's QueryParser.
14:16 wajasu jcamins: so where should i start with tesing/theme stuff?  i read that some fallback yada yada was broken.
14:16 jcamins And we've gone a bit Pluggable crazy in bug 7417 and bug 8209.
14:16 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7417 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Passed QA , Include alternate forms from authorities in bibliographic searches

14:17 jcamins @query themes broken
14:17 Hm.

14:17 jcamins Ah.
14:18 wajasu: start with bug 8622. The first thing to do is check that Koha still functions with that patch applied.
14:18 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8622 major, P3, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , Koha themes broken
14:18 jcamins Then you install bug 8537, and see if you can use the new theme.

14:18 jcamins Uhhh... then you find the bug with the new theme.
14:19 wajasu: but note that you have to sign off on my branch because the patches were too big to attach to Bugzilla.
14:19 sekjal anyone else having problems with prove t?
14:19 C4::Members::Statistics fails to in t/00-load.t
14:20 jcamins sekjal: not me.
14:21 All it depends on is Modern::Perl, too.
14:21 wajasu ok jcamins looking a 8622
14:22 jcamins sekjal: do you get any sort of error message?
14:22 Try perl -c C4/Members/Statistics.pm
14:23 sekjal Error:  Can't call method "config" on unblessed reference at C4/Context.pm line 746.
14:23 Viktor Oh my - sorry @magnuse and @kf - nobody was on here and I was looking into some Python projects. Discovered all sorts of discussion going on just now as I'm packing up to go home.
14:23 sekjal ah
14:23 probably need to export my KOHA_CONF
14:23 getting rusty...
14:23 jcamins Yup.
14:23 That'd probably help.
14:24 sekjal helped
14:24 ::sigh::
14:25 missing 9 dependencies...
14:26 and they don't seem to be packaged with the names I'd expect
14:26 jcamins sekjal: you can ignore the Data::Pag* and...
14:26 One or two others.
14:26 oleonard Template::Plugin::HtmlToText?
14:26 sekjal Template::Plugin::HtmlToText is the only one marked required
14:26 jcamins No, that one is required.
14:26 kf used for sending out cart emails
14:27 sekjal and libtemplate-plugin-htmltotext-perl isn't valid
14:27 jcamins sekjal: it's in the k-c repo.
14:27 eythian sekjal: it is in the koha debian repo
14:27 kf hm worked for me
14:27 ah
14:27 jcamins kf: what did?
14:27 kf installing the dependency - but probably because I have that on my list of sources?
14:27 eythian yeah
14:28 that'll make it work
14:28 sekjal so now we've got packages beyond just koha?
14:28 eythian where necessary
14:28 oleonard Are there instructions for adding the k-c repo and getting stuff like Template::Plugin::HtmlToText?
14:28 jcamins debian?
14:28 wahanui hmmm... debian is what most people use and there are good manuals and even packages for that
14:28 eythian only 3 or 4 at this stage
14:28 sekjal I would question necessity in such cases
14:28 jcamins That's odd.
14:28 eythian wahanui: packages
14:28 oleonard packages?
14:28 wahanui rumour has it packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
14:28 i heard packages was at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
14:29 eythian snap
14:29 jcamins Oh.
14:29 sekjal: many of them are packaged in Wheezy, and things like having the cart translatable are definitely critical.
14:29 eythian sekjal: well, there's always been stuff you needed from CPAN
14:30 now you just need it from another repo, which is nicer than cpan.
14:30 sekjal eythian: for a while there, everything was available as a debian package in Squeeze
14:30 eythian yeah, that wasn't for very long though
14:30 sekjal jcamins:  cart definitely needs to be translatable... but using that particular package isn't necessarily the only way to do that
14:30 eythian and that was because liw managed to get everything needed into squeeze before it was released.
14:30 jcamins sekjal: true.
14:32 liw eythian is now part of the Debian perl packaging team and can help get everything Koha needs into Debian
14:32 sekjal I'm frustrated, but I don't feel like I've got a real leg to stand on complaining, because I've been out of the loop for so long
14:33 eythian basically, it's suggested to add the debian.k-c repo, and things go fairly smoothly :)
14:34 sekjal more problems with 00-load.t:   Error:  Can't locate Cache/Memcached/Fast.pm in @INC
14:34 eythian liw: that's my plan, time constraints are very against me unfortunately :( I should try to do one a week or something.
14:34 sekjal: libcache-memcached-fast-perl
14:34 liw eythian, aye
14:35 magnuse sekjal: i just apt-got that one :-)
14:35 jcamins There's a patch correcting that dependency in C4::Installer::PerlDependencies.
14:35 sekjal jcamins:  ah, thank you... I figured it might be a case of missing deps
14:36 eythian;  also in debian.k-c?
14:36 eythian sekjal: yep
14:36 jcamins libcache-memcached-fast-perl isn't packaged by default?
14:37 eythian I think the non -fast version is
14:37 sekjal jcamins:  not anywhere my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop can get it
14:37 (natively)
14:37 eythian ohh. 10.04.
14:37 jcamins Package libcache-memcached-fast-perl
14:37 squeeze (stable) (perl): Perl client for memcached, in C language
14:37 Oh, 10.04?
14:37 wahanui i guess 10.04 is the most recent LTS still, I think.
14:37 jcamins Ouch.
14:37 eythian no wahanui, 10.04 is not the most recent LTS, 12.04 is.
14:37 wahanui okay, eythian.
14:38 * jcamins just tells people using 10.04 that they need to upgrade to 12.04 at this point.
14:38 eythian yeah, I can't remember if 10.04 works still or not.
14:38 I guess sekjal will find out ;)
14:38 sekjal eythian:  works fine for me for most tasks
14:38 jcamins eythian: it does for 3.6.x.
14:38 sekjal just not this particular one
14:38 jcamins I doubt it will for Master.
14:38 eythian sekjal: I mean for installing koha on.
14:39 sekjal that raises an interesting question:  where are we keeping track of what OS's and versions Koha will run on?
14:39 is there an up-to-date wiki page?

14:40 eythian sekjal: I'm not sure there is a list. I know debian stable and ubuntu 12.04 are fine. I think that debian stable's perl version tends to be prescriptive.
14:41 gmcharlt jcamins: do you recall if there was any though to using Library::CallNumber::LC rather than the existing LCC call number sort routine?
14:41 jcamins gmcharlt: I'm not sure, but it seems like a good idea to me.
14:41 sekjal I think we should do the same for OS support
14:41 promise that Koha will run on X, Y and Z, and reject patches that break any one of those
14:41 would make QA easier
14:42 jcamins sekjal: my policy on 3.6.x is Ubuntu 10.04+ and Debian 6.0+.
14:42 magnuse would that include rejecting patches that introduce new dependencies that are not packaged for that OS/version?
14:43 gmcharlt nice might be all Ubuntu LTS release
14:43 jcamins magnuse: I require all proposed dependencies be packaged in the debian.k-c.org.
14:43 magnuse: there are legitimate use cases for many things that aren't currently packaged.
14:44 sekjal magnuse: either rejecting the patch, or deferring it until the next major release of Koha, pending an agreement to bump the requirements
14:44 slef hi all. I'm back.
14:44 sekjal hi, slef
14:44 magnuse wb slef
14:45 jcamins and sekjal: hm, not sure that makes sense to me, but my brain is starting to crave pizza...
14:45 jcamins magnuse: mmmm. Pizza.
14:45 magnuse :-)
14:46 jcamins magnuse: getting packages into debian.k-c.org is easy.
14:46 I leave an @later for eythian saying "Please add such-and-such package to oldstable on debian.k-c.org.
14:46 eythian sekjal: we don't tend to introduce new dependencies into minor updates.
14:46 (if we can help it)
14:46 magnuse jcamins: yeah, that sounds doable ;-)
14:48 tcohen maybe we could continue the discussion on officialy supported distros on koha-dev
14:48 sekjal tcohen:  sounds good... I'll move it there now
14:48 tcohen I proposed supporting LTS Ubuntu Releases
14:48 (recent ones)
14:50 jcamins libtemplate-plugin-htmltotext-perl is the exception, but it still hasn't been accepted to 3.6.x.
14:50 eythian tcohen: well, it depends what you mean by "supporting" too. Really the only hard requirement is the Perl version supported.
14:51 jcamins The plan is to provide .packages files for 10.04, 12.04, and "latest" Ubuntu.
14:51 tcohen supporting means (for example) we maintain the docs for just those releases
14:51 the same for ubuntu.packages and so on
14:51 I belive 'latest' is too much :-D
14:52 eythian latest almost comes for free really
14:52 tcohen but if mtompset's scripts make it an easy task, well, if we have the time to maintain that...
14:53 I mean, people can folow the  instructions for the latest LTS and solve the missing bits
14:53 jcamins tcohen: latest and "last LTS" should be identical in almost all cases.

15:00 jcamins gmcharlt: ah. It does that a lot.

15:00 magnuse tcohen: it was earlier today
15:00 clrh thanks khall :) ( and bywater guys )
15:00 eythian tcohen: yep
15:00 jcamins gmcharlt: yep, that's been an issue for a long time.
15:01 So at least you can narrow the problem down to the way Koha does sorting? :/
15:01 gmcharlt yep, and fix it
15:01 (at least for code and reports that are using cn_sort)

15:19 kf sekjal++
15:20 sekjal kf: ?
15:20 kf qaing :)
15:21 sekjal kf:  ah, yes... sorry for letting it slip so long
15:22 new job has picked up, and I've been doing a lot of other projects lately
15:22 including another piece of software from NZ called SilverStripe
15:22 (which I'm very impressed with)
15:22 kf oh, what does it do?
15:23 sekjal content management system
15:23 as well as an MVC framework
15:23 highly extensible
15:23 our library website is based off an older version
15:23 I'm testing the new version for upgrade, as well as new features
15:28 gmcharlt jcamins: https://github.com/gmcharlt/ko[…]s/fix_lcc_cn_sort
15:28 eythian sekjal:  Oh yeah, I used to drink with the silverstripe folks from time to time
15:29 they're based in Wellington
15:29 gmcharlt if you've got other examples of mis-sorting handy, I'd love to incorporate them into the test case
15:29 jcamins gmcharlt: I'm not at my computer at the moment, but one place where there's always problems is the KF schedule.
15:29 sekjal eythian: yeah, I noticed that.  seem like a good group.  I haven't gotten as far as contributing anything to the code base yet, but it's proving to be a solid framework for what I want to develop
15:31 oleonard sekjal: Any idea why they picked that in the first place?
15:31 kf jcamins: what did I do?
15:31 jcamins kf: nothing, that's the class for US Laws.
15:31 sekjal oleonard: do you mean why my library picked SilverStripe as their CMS?
15:31 oleonard Yes
15:32 sekjal at the time (before my arrival), it was found to meet the requirements and wishes list best, as defined by the Web Coordinating Committee
15:35 jcamins Why does a CMS need an MVC framework?
15:36 (I mean, why does it need to implement a new one)
15:36 francharb` joined #koha
15:36 sekjal jcamins:  the CMS is just a module for the framework, and you can use it or not
15:36 I'm very happy about the MVC
15:37 jcamins sekjal: okay, that makes more sense. I thought it was a CMS with an entire MVC framework thrown in. Which seems..
15:37 like Emacs?
15:37 :D
15:37 gmcharlt jcamins: turns out there was a bug after all -- bug 6281
15:37 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6281 normal, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, ASSIGNED , Bug in LCC sort routine
15:37 sekjal I'd like to see the Catalyst MVC work gain some traction.  Koha could really benefit from it
15:38 jcamins libsysguy has been working with it.
15:38 libsysguy yes I have
15:38 jcamins gmcharlt: there are some more samples for the test, too.
15:38 libsysguy well I was
15:38 sekjal yeah, I pulled his repo a while back
15:38 encouraging
15:38 libsysguy before I got distracted
15:38 sekjal I learned something interesting about catalyst
15:39 gmcharlt jcamins: indeed, I've already incorporated those in my WIP branch
15:39 libsysguy do not install it from packages
15:39 sekjal libsysguy:  that is interesting.  why not?
15:39 libsysguy they are outdated
15:40 and don't support Authentication or catalystX
15:40 sekjal ah
15:40 libsysguy if you get on their IRC the devels even say don't pull from packages
15:40 slef catalyst needs help
15:40 libsysguy cpanm works well though
15:41 slef I wish their devels would help the packages instead of telling people to splatter cpan across their systems
15:41 jcamins Does Catalyst development move at the same rate as Ruby?
15:42 I heard Ruby development movement described as "ooh, shiny!" by a Ruby developer.
15:42 libsysguy yeah it is
15:43 the problem I have with Ruby is backwards compatibility (or the lack therein)
15:45 i agree slef that the devels should get the packages working
15:45 I took their survey they other day and said packages should move up in priority
15:45 eythian I think there's work on the debian side for the packages
15:45 slef or just help... I linked a debian-perl thread recently
15:46 ironically, I was about to post the opposite view in reply to sekjal, like, is it all up to Koha to support a few OSes?
15:47 jcamins slef: until someone decides to pay a developer to make Koha work on Red Hat, I'd say it probably is our responsibility to say "here are the OSes we can help with, anything else we'll do our best but you're on your own."
15:48 slef I'd prefer we moved back towards "these work, here's how - if you can get it working on something else, please document+contribute how"
15:48 jcamins That's fine with me.
15:49 libsysguy me too, isn't that how it is now
15:49 sekjal a well-maintained matrix of what works on what would go a long way
15:49 libsysguy yeah and an update to the wiki doc
15:49 slef sekjal: time to hatchet the INSTALL.* files and ask "does this still work?"
15:50 sekjal: I think you said it no longer works on some old ubuntu?
15:50 eythian mtompset has been working on them I think
15:50 libsysguy mtompset has been working with ubuntu
15:50 jcamins So has tcohen.
15:50 sekjal I cannot easily install libcache-memcache-fast-perl on my Ubuntu 10.04 system
15:50 eythian it's in the k-c repo
15:51 jcamins eythian: it is? It's available for Debian, and 10.10, so I think we probably wouldn't have packaged it.
15:51 libsysguy ok so random question, has anybody used jira
15:51 slef libsysguy: wiki installation docs should be a short-term thing. They really suck longer-term because you might not have easy web browsing during an install (even today) and you can't be 100% sure which version they're for.
15:51 libsysguy: arrrgh, run away from Atlassian.
15:51 libsysguy slef that is why I was just looking at...oh?
15:51 i just saw this http://www.atlassian.com/opensource/overview
15:52 slef libsysguy: I dislike jira and Confluence is really unhelpful.
15:52 jcamins Wait, you have to apply for an open source license?
15:52 libsysguy I have never used jira…but i rather enjoyed Confluence
15:52 slef it's not an open source license
15:52 that's why it's really unhelpful
15:52 it's a proprietary license for open source projects to get locked in
15:53 libsysguy yeah
15:53 slef it's bloody dishonest
15:53 eythian jcamins: ah, confusing it with libcgi-session-driver-memcached-perl
15:54 jcamins eythian: yeah, I figured.
15:54 slef but the US allows sale of "pure squeezed orange juice... made from concentrate" so I doubt it's illegal, sadly.
15:56 gmcharlt eythian: do you package any backports for debian.k-c.org?  I'm looking at a potential new dependency that's packaged for wheezy already but isn't presently in squeeze-backports
15:57 jcamins gmcharlt: libtemplate-plugin-htmltotext-perl is in Wheezy.
15:58 slef gmcharlt: why not just upload it to backports.debian.org?
15:59 jcamins gmcharlt: Library::Callnumber::LC?
15:59 slef (I'll sponsor if you con't have a DD handy)
15:59 melia joined #koha
15:59 libsysguy apache uses jira?!?!
15:59 gmcharlt slef: probably simpler; as a matter of etiquette, would one first ask the DD that packaged if they're willing to upload it to backports?
15:59 jcamins: right
16:00 slef gmcharlt: probably as a matter of pragmatism because it's less work for you, yes :)
16:00 gmcharlt slef: heh
16:00 slef libsysguy: meh, a bit of GNU used Confluence last time I checked.
16:01 libsysguy: I think a lot of developers get tricked by the "open source license" and it's non-trivial to change
16:01 libsysguy oh so once they suck you in they have you
16:02 slef libsysguy: if you ever wanted an illustration of why I write "In god we trust - all others must bring data" and why I'm pretty sceptical of most things, that's one.
16:02 libsysguy: I think you can get out, but moving from dokuwiki to mediawiki for k-c was bad enough, wasn't it?
16:05 libsysguy i guess that was before my time
16:06 like so many other things that happened to KC
16:06 slef ok, let's ask the audience:
16:06 everyone, was moving from dokuwiki to mediawiki bad enough?
16:06 * jcamins prefers a darker green.
16:06 slef ;)
16:06 jcamins: spinach?
16:07 jcamins slef: the audience was just sharing opinions. Not opinions on anything in particular.
16:07 slef well it annoyed the heck out of me ;)
16:07 the move, not the sharing
16:08 * jcamins hardly noticed, actually.
16:09 francharb` good afternoon / morning / evening!
16:09 bye
16:30 datadoctor joined #koha
16:31 datadoctor How do folks feel about using capital letters to define additional local MARC 952 subfields?
16:32 * druthb shudders.
16:32 jcamins datadoctor: I think it's a terrible idea, but go ahead. I've been overruled.
16:32 datadoctor We are attempting to define separate "Edit Item" fields for "permanent location" vs. (temporary) "location."
16:32 gmcharlt datadoctor: that has the potential to run into the case-insensitve query mode that Koha uses
16:33 datadoctor I see...
16:33 Would that only be a problem if I search on that field?
16:34 gmcharlt more of a problem with interacting with the MARC framework
16:34 jcamins datadoctor: why do you want to put it in the 952?
16:34 gmcharlt frankly, it would be better (though not great) to use punctuation characters (that aren't SQL metacharacters) for such subfields
16:35 datadoctor Wow! I could use punctuation? That could work well.
16:35 jcamins Seems to me we've hit the limit of embedded MARC for item data.
16:35 druthb is it even valid MARC to use uppercase?  If you try to feed that to a SD system, it will break rather spectacularly.
16:35 jcamins druthb: it is. Just a bad idea.
16:36 datadoctor It works when editing or creating an item.
16:36 May fail elsewhere as I am understanding.
16:36 * jcamins maintains that we need to deprecate the 952 field for 3.12.
16:37 jcamins However, since I won't be doing the work, I'm not too optimistic.
16:38 slef if we don't use 952, how will we import items?
16:38 druthb Gonna need some way to embed items for imports.  Dumping 952 without some reasonable replacement will make migrations a lot harder.
16:38 datadoctor The motivation to use 952 is that the "Location" is already defined in 952 c, we just duplicate that to 952 C, and get a similar drop-down in Edit Item.
16:38 jcamins slef: use 952 for serialization only.
16:39 slef: druthb: if we *only* serialize to 952, it doesn't matter that we are on to uppercase/punctuation subfields.
16:40 Despite removing items from the MARC (thanks, gmcharlt!), we still assume that an item is equivalent to a MARC field.
16:40 druthb I was thinking of interchange with other vendors, jcamins--if someone gets their records from Ebsco, say, and has them embed item recs, it'll have to be MARC standard, or their systems will gag on it.  But if the standard allows uppercase and punctuation, then we're golden there.
16:40 jcamins druthb: not sure about punctuation, but uppercase is allowed.
16:40 Just a horrid idea.
16:41 druthb yeah, confusing, at the very least.
16:41 gmcharlt jcamins: fortunately less so -- one of the implicit reasons for the DOM mode indexing is that it lays the groundwork for indexing items without needing to serialize them as 952 fields
16:41 the same would apply to Solr, for that matter
16:41 jcamins gmcharlt: yeah, I know. I'm looking forward to that.
16:41 datadoctor Does that mean we could define local information under a different MARC field, for example 962, but have it come up as tab 10 for the Edit item screen?
16:41 slef well the alternative is to recode some of the 0/1 fields, which would be painful
16:41 well they're not 0/1
16:42 gmcharlt another direction is to extend the (item part) of the MARC frameworks to let you define multiple mapping sets for items
16:42 slef I mean stuff that only has one value like the withdrawn and lost subfields
16:42 jcamins I'd prefer 95x matched on subfield $9 to crazy subfield markers.
16:42 But, as I said, this is all idle talk coming from me.
16:42 gmcharlt that way, if you're given a set of bibs to import that have the items in 945 fields, say, you could define a new item framework rather than remap the item data to 952 fields
16:42 slef actually yeah, what stop us using other 95x?
16:43 datadoctor gmcharlt: I like the idea to "define multiple mapping sets for items"
16:43 jcamins That would be excellent too.
16:43 gmcharlt slef: not much, but there'd have to be a bit of code added so that the serializer could understand (say) pairs of 952/953 fields for import
16:43 * jcamins looks around, settles on datadoctor as the probably implementor. :)
16:43 slef I wouldn't be surprised to discover other MARC interpreters getting it wrong with uppercase and punctuation.
16:43 jcamins *probable
16:44 gmcharlt slef: it's distressingly not nailed down enough in the relevant standards
16:44 datadoctor Glad to implement, not sure where to begin...
16:45 * gmcharlt was looking at the the ISO-2709 standard just now
16:45 jcamins gmcharlt: kind of like the RTL directional marker, which is apparently optional.
16:45 datadoctor I'm learning a lot from this discussion though...
16:45 slef gmcharlt: I think much of the problem is that most of the standards seem to be designed by control freaks (= think they are gods) who make occasional mistakes (= are human)
16:45 gmcharlt and shaking my head at the imprecision of its language
16:45 jcamins the problem?
16:45 wahanui the problem is, like, that on order is not treated differently than the other not for loan values
16:45 jcamins problem?
16:45 wahanui well, problem is its human beings doing it or that grub was nudged to the emergency holographic shell
16:46 gmcharlt slef: well, that gets back to the original decisions back in the 1960s that ended tieing wedding catalogers to a particular serialization
16:46 * oleonard hopes grub's mobile holographic emitter can be fixed so he can come out of the emergency shell
16:46 slef gmcharlt: so the standards are incomplete or occasionally just plain daft, but you can't bugfix them simply without infringing someone's copyright
16:46 oleonard: enjoying the ST:Voyager repeats?
16:46 * chris_n hands oleonard a rope
16:47 slef gmcharlt: "wedding catalogers" = people who make lists of wedding gifts?
16:47 oleonard slef: Only in my head since I'm too cheap to pay to watch them
16:47 * oleonard doesn't know what to do with the rope
16:47 slef oleonard: ah, they're currently running free-to-air on CBS over here.
16:48 that reminds me
16:48 off-topic, but does the US have these other CBS channels we get? CBS Action and CBS Drama... didn't see them in any hotels over there
16:49 * oleonard has never heard of those
16:51 slef and while I'm being off-topic, the I285 westbound to GA400 northbound slip road dumped me in the left-hand lane... does that happen often on US roads???
16:52 I know you don't exactly have faster-moving lanes closer to the median like in the UK but it seems to behave similar because of the road design
16:54 gmcharlt slef: it's mostly found in urbanized areas where there may not be enough space to put in a full cloverleaf so that one can merge from the right
16:55 slef gmcharlt: isn't it just that they didn't want to build another bridge to put you on the right?
16:56 gmcharlt entirely possible -- roadbuilding funds aren't infinitely, particularly in Atlanta
16:57 slef anyway, was surprised to get a short merge, not a segregated lane or something... rather more entertaining after 40mins driving in the country than I expected ;-)
16:58 gmcharlt slef: just consider it part of the excitement that the USA delivers to all tourists ;)
16:59 slef gmcharlt: who do I write to thank for the tiny and misleading road signs that introduced me to many dead ends? ;-)
16:59 jeff (SURPRISE!)
17:02 jcamins slef: in New Jersey there is a wonderful merge on your way to New York- the 1 and 9 exit off of... the Turnpike, I think. You merge onto the Turnpike from the right, and less than a quarter of a mile later, you exit on the left, only to merge into 1 and 9 from the left.
17:02 gmcharlt slef: if those dead ends happened to abut stores, the local Chamber of Commerce, of course! :)
17:03 slef unsurprisingly, the US hasn't signed the UN convention on road traffic... http://treaties.un.org/pages/V[…]mp=mtdsg3&lang=en
17:05 senator slef: some people in the US aren't even sure there are cars and traffic in other countries, and they definitely don't know the UN has an opinion on road traffic
17:05 mbalmer joined #koha
17:05 senator sad to say
17:05 jcamins slef: did I mention that there's bumper-to-bumper traffic during your quarter mile dash from the right to the left, then no traffic at all on 1 and 9?
17:05 slef senator: I got the impression that some people in the US aren't even sure there are cars on the same road as them, based on the driving ;)
17:06 senator heh
17:06 jcamins slef: did you drive in India? I was told traffic in Mumbai is similar to traffic in Kabul.
17:07 slef anyway, I was having fun with London traffic yesterday... only tried to ride on the right once (except for segregated lanes)
17:07 * jeff just completed a mini-monologue in #evergreen, then saw senator speaking in this window, and for a half-moment thought i had monologued in #koha about Evergreen :-)
17:07 jcamins But with fewer random checkpoints.
17:07 senator and jcamins in #evergreen today, man so much confusion
17:07 slef jcamins: I didn't get to India. Hire us and we'll make more money to go to kohacons ;-)
17:07 mbalmer heh, evergreen, I like the architecture of that system..
17:07 jeff senator: exactly :-)
17:08 jcamins senator: just doing my best to keep everyone's day interesting. :)
17:08 slef apparently London cyclists are as surprised to have hire bikes keeping up with them as Norfolk drivers are when any bikes keep up
17:10 jcamins mbalmer: out of curiosity, why did you settle on Koha? I presume since you comment on Evergreen that you looked at both?
17:14 mbalmer longer story, but: great community, I am part of a group where we decided to go for Koha, installed base of Koha etc.
17:16 coming from informatics, not being a librarian, a system like evergreen is technically better, but using a system like Koha were domain specialists (aka the librarians) can take an active role in the development is for sure a big plus.
17:16 * jcamins likes POD.
17:16 mbalmer and having so many coder-librarians makes it a product that is practical.
17:17 even if the chosen technologies are not the best.  at least they are manageable to non-CS folks.
17:18 that is, in all brevity, why...
17:18 jcamins Just curious. :)

18:00 ahem excuse the mispaste
18:02 gmcharlt Sisyphus: shifting rocks, are you?
18:02 Sisyphus I'm hoping to avoid a followup on Bug 7613, gmcharlt, but it may be necessary.  I'll open a new ticket, though, if so, just because that one has turned into a total furball.
18:03 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7613 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, ruth, Passed QA , OCLC Connexion Gateway, including extension svc/import_bib
18:04 slef Sisyphus: gmcharlt; I'm working on related stuff now (which is why I just ran out of space somewhere)
18:06 * jcamins likes the name of this kingdom: "Osrhoena.
18:06 jcamins "
18:07 Sounds like the sort of place Sisyphus might have lived.
18:08 slef druthb: why can't you handle both POSTDATA and xml in http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]c/import_bib_sec1 ?
18:10 druthb self:  Someone cleverer at doing that coding probably could.  You've gotta send several *other* bits though, besides just the record--the match rule, item behavior, overlay-or-create rules, etc, so POSTDATA is something that I *know* will work.
18:11 slef druthb: I fear your patch breaks the svc API for non-Connexions clients.
18:11 druthb slef:  And when I did it, I was under a bit of a crunch to Make. It. Work. Right. Now.
18:11 If other clients are using the older new_bib, then, no, it won't, because I didn't touch that.
18:11 I was under the impression that import_bib was something *new*.
18:12 slef I thought it had been in a release - I've at least one client using it and I thought they were on 3.8.x
18:12 sekjal svc/import_bib was created as part of the OCLC Connexion Gateway development
18:12 druthb I hadn't been aware of that.
18:13 slef I guess I should write a test case, but this is rather gnarly to write such a test for, isn't it? Needs a live koha - do we have a place for those tests?
18:13 jcamins It was included in 3.8 in the eleventh hour.
18:13 slef: we do not. I suggest you add a place.
18:13 slef sekjal: and extended to be a useful replacement for new_bib.
18:13 druthb needs an OCLC account, too, plus a live Koha, to test this bit all the way through.  And a human person who pushes the button.
18:14 jcamins If you can come up with a test that doesn't require Connexion, that'd be good.
18:14 slef druthb: you only need an OCLC account to test bin/connexion_import_daemon.pl, no?
18:14 druthb Because the likelihood of OCLC messing around with the API in a way that breaks this approaches unity.  They do that.
18:14 sekjal slef:  yes, the intent was to make as much reusable script as possible...
18:14 and now people have gone and used it?  Crazy!
18:15 druthb "all the way through", yes, slef.  testing just import_bib should be doable without it.
18:15 slef pretty sure I've a manual test for it, but I didn't see where to put it under t/ so I didn't submit it upstream yet
18:16 anyone know if live-koha-needed tests can go under t/ or if something will try to run them automatically if I put it there?
18:16 jcamins slef: t/install_dependent?
18:16 slef jcamins: does that exist?
18:16 jcamins They need to be in a subdirectory of t.
18:16 slef: it will when you send a patch creating it.
18:16 :)
18:16 slef jcamins: phew! you had me worried. Cool.

23:27 wajasu i see
23:28 mtj meh i've hit some git-apply problems for patch on 8623
23:29 i'd like to know how to best handle this situ
23:29 3way merge gives this error...
23:29 fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (C4/Templates.pm).
23:29 Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge.
23:29 Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
23:29 .
23:30 jcamins mtj: missing one of the dependencies.
23:30 mtj the frustrating this is, the patch contains a 1 line change to C4/Templates.pm
23:30 s/this/thing/
23:31 so, its a patch git *shoudl* be able to handle ok-ish….
23:31 at least apply the change will some <<< === >>>> markers, so i can edit /correct later, etc..
23:31 jcamins_away Weird.
23:33 And it worked perfectly for me.
23:33 wajasu i see.  i need to apply 8622. test it.  signoff.   then apply bug_8597_theme, test it, and sign off on it.
23:33 jcamins_away Right.
23:33 mtj jcamins_away, this is on a new koha repo, too?!
23:33 jcamins_away bug_8597_theme already contains all its dependencies.
23:33 mtj: just my github.
23:34 mtj no, i tested the patch on *my* new repo

23:57 is that the sort of thing i should be looking for in 8622 or is that an unrelated issue?
23:58 jcamins_away wajasu: nothing to do with 8622.
23:58 wajasu i'll research that later.
23:58 jcamins_away wajasu: it's the new theme.
23:59 I'd suggest that even an imperfect theme that supports mobile is an improvement.
