12:14 kf oh, was he here?
12:15 magnuse yeah, he dropped by briefly
12:15 probably unreliable wifi
12:16 jcamins I saw that.
12:32 magnuse jcamins: you up for it? ;-)
12:34 druthb he'll have it done before lunch, magnuse.  He's just like that.
12:34 magnuse yay! ;-)
12:37 jcamins lol
12:39 Callender joined #koha

13:17 oleonard Hi #koha
13:17 wizzyrea hi oleonard
13:19 druthb hi, oleonard and wizzyrea! :D
13:19 * druthb waves with both hands.
13:19 wizzyrea heya1
13:19 !
13:20 libsysguy hey oleonard and wizzyrea I have a question about overdrive
13:20 wizzyrea i may not know the answer to that, we gave up overdrive a year or so ago
13:21 libsysguy ah
13:21 wizzyrea oleonard might though
13:21 libsysguy well I was wondering how returns work for kindles
13:21 eythian joined #koha
13:21 eythian joined #koha
13:21 libsysguy I had a friend tell me if you turned the wifi off before the return date you could keep the book as long as you want
13:22 but I wasn't sure if the system returned the item for circ or not
13:24 wizzyrea my thought is that it doesn't matter if the DRM works on the end user device
13:24 overdrive is going to expire that book
13:24 but I don't know that for certain
13:25 and what I mean is - even if the book getting "checked in" on the kindle doesn't work, I suspect that overdrive still makes it available to other patrons
13:25 on the date due
13:25 libsysguy that is what I thought too
13:25 but I wasn't sure how the DRM worked
13:26 wizzyrea well I'm not sure either, and I don't have overdrive anymore
13:28 oleonard Sorry, afk
13:29 libsysguy: What do you mean by "for circ" ?
13:29 libsysguy well to release to other patrons
13:29 oleonard Oh right.
13:29 I'm not sure, because I don't see the circulation end of things much
13:31 libsysguy ahh ok
13:31 oleonard Sounds like an experiment is required
13:31 libsysguy it just seemed like a huge loophole for me
13:31 indeed
13:31 * libsysguy goes to apply for a job at houston public library :p
13:33 kf ?
13:33 eythian It's kinda cute seeing people using "books" as an example simple data model.
13:34 kf hehe
13:34 the dbx class presentation?
13:34 eythian yeah
13:34 kf I stalked you this morning and looked at your schedule - there were slides from last year :)
13:34 eythian heh
13:34 kf how is frankfurt?
13:35 it's entirely too warm at bsz today
13:35 eythian stinking hot, otherwise nice

13:35 kf eythian: everybody is asking about you - they probabyl think I pushed you into the lake or something over the weekend
13:35 eythian haha
13:35 tell them it's OK, I'll be back on Thursday :)
13:36 kf I did... only not sure they believe me :)
13:37 eythian DBIx::Class looks pretty good, I have to say
13:38 druthb eythian:  if a strange man in a kilt comes up and greets you, acting like he's known you forever....that's mst.  I told him to look for you.
13:38 eythian heh OK
13:39 druthb mst is one of my favorite Perl folks--and he's the honcho for the DBIx::Class project.  Nice guy, very quirky and excitable.
13:39 magnuse @wunder boo
13:39 huginn magnuse: The current temperature in Bodo, Norway is 16.0°C (3:20 PM CEST on August 20, 2012). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 77%. Dew Point: 12.0°C. Pressure: 30.04 in 1017 hPa (Steady).

13:39 druthb !
13:40 magnuse yay
13:40 eythian druthb: cool, i'll keep my eyes open
13:41 * magnuse has met DBIx::Class briefly in the context of Catalyst, and it does seem interesting!
13:41 chris_n` joined #koha
13:41 eythian it'd be nice to get rid of the SQL
13:41 time to change rooms
13:41 druthb He'll probably be on a crutch or cane; he recently had a fairly major hip surgery--fell on a canal tow-path, and *broke it*.   So you're probably safe from being hugged and yanked off your feet, which is what he did the first time he met me.
13:42 gmcharlt @quote random
13:42 huginn gmcharlt: Quote #94: "<chris> the more i explain, the more ppl know, and the less i have to do in the future ... its purely selfish hehe" (added by kf at 08:45 AM, September 13, 2010)
13:42 gmcharlt enlightened_self_interest++
13:42 asaurat1 haha, mst is awesome :D
13:43 asaurat some of us met him in Strasbourg for a Perl convention, very interesting man!
13:44 druthb That he is, asaurat.  Surprisingly strong, for such a small, wiry man.  I'm taller than he is, and weigh...uhm...somewhat over 110kg, but he jerked me off my feet like I was a child.  Incredibly sweet guy.
13:44 asaurat hehe
13:45 druthb I've come to discover that a *lot* of his apparently-random wild-man behavior is calculated; he's a deep, deep thinker, and that makes him very disarming.
13:46 asaurat really ? he looks so spontaneous
13:46 druthb mhm.  quite a lot of that is planned.
13:47 asaurat scary :D
13:47 eythian_ joined #koha
13:47 druthb it could be; that's quite a weapon.  But you won't meet a nicer guy.  He's quite enthused to hear about the Koha community.
13:48 asaurat indeed, he was very interested in our workflow
13:48 eythian joined #koha
13:49 * druthb gets out the duct tape.
13:49 asaurat and so, someone here is meeting him soon ?
13:49 druthb hopefully, eythian.  :)
13:49 asaurat nice :)
13:49 druthb I met him at YAPC::NA in June, and we had a wonderful time.  Talk nearly-daily since then.
13:50 maximep joined #koha
13:56 * kf pokes eythian
13:57 * druthb pokes kf

13:59 kf druthb: now you scared him away!
13:59 * druthb pouts
14:03 eythian_ joined #koha
14:03 kf I only wanted to check if he is alive
14:03 * druthb pokes kf again.
14:03 druthb :P
14:03 kf I was just talking to you!
14:03 * druthb is the pokey little puppy today.
14:04 pokes edveal.

14:06 alex_a joined #koha
14:06 oleonard What was the pokey little puppy's comeuppance? No dessert, something like that?
14:06 kf no dessert and going to bed early...
14:06 maybe fixing a koha bug or two
14:07 druthb Something like that.  Since I rarely eat dessert anyway, that dun skeer me.  Also, I've been going to bed early the last couple of nights.
14:08 * druthb pokes oleonard
14:08 druthb :P
14:08 is kinda silly-happy today.
14:08 kf oleonard has kids... he will know what to do
14:09 * oleonard warns druthb that if any more poking happens she will be sent to the time-out chair
14:09 druthb :P
14:10 oleonard Yeah that's what my kids say too
14:10 druthb sending me there, and making sure I arrive there, are two different problems.  And I'm bigger than you are.
14:11 oleonard That's what my son is going to be saying before I know it
14:11 druthb mhm.
14:12 kf oleonard: would ignring her help or is that to cause some damage we don't want?
14:12 eythian joined #koha
14:13 * kf pokes eythian
14:13 druthb it might make her go away again, kf.
14:13 kf hmmm...
14:13 oleonard Hm, well what we seem to have is a failure to model the correct behavior kf ;)
14:13 eythian druthb: so I just bumped into mst
14:13 kf oleonard: oups
14:13 druthb :)  yay!
14:14 kf eythiandid he lift you?
14:14 eythian no...?
14:14 druthb Interesting character, isn't he?
14:14 eythian yeah, also need to ask him about some dbix stuff later
14:15 oleonard Are local cover images supposed to be working in the staff client search results?
14:15 * oleonard doesn't see any
14:15 talljoy joined #koha

14:16 kf computervisualistik und design
14:16 hm.
14:16 eythian wrongwindow.com?
14:16 kf nope
14:16 only wondering about a weird german word :)
14:16 gmcharlt kf: is there any other kind? ;)
14:17 eythian that'll keep you busy for a long time
14:17 kf not sure really
14:17 * druthb pokes gmcharlt
14:17 * gmcharlt pokes druthb right back
14:17 oleonard gmcharlt poked a girl? Scandalous!
14:17 * druthb pounces on gmcharlt.
14:20 eythian at this conf they're providing a large amount of free bottled water (and "apfel schorle") which is good.
14:20 kf :)
14:20 eythian although this country's obsession with sparking water is bizarre, it tastes terrible
14:21 asaurat :D
14:21 * druthb loves sparkling water!
14:22 eythian sorry for your loss of tastebuds :)
14:22 asaurat apfelschorle, warum nicht... aber weinschorle ?????
14:22 eythian not convinced those are words
14:23 asaurat Supercalifragilisticexpialidociouschorle
14:24 kf lol
14:24 * druthb suggests that eythian might find http://dict.leo.org/ende useful.
14:24 kf beershorle =  water with beer... hm.
14:24 * druthb finds it handy when talking to kf, occasionally.
14:24 kf which makes it sounds like my english is really bad... :P
14:25 eythian: fwiw - I don't like sparkling water
14:25 druthb nope.  My German is really, really bad.
14:25 asaurat beershorle ?? i hope noone did ever try this blasphemy, it would be even worse than weinschorle :p
14:25 eythian_ joined #koha
14:25 kf asaurat: it's called radler sauer...
14:25 * asaurat dies in a painful agony
14:25 kf eythian: could you stop this jumping around?
14:25 we already have poking ruth...
14:25 * druthb pokes kf
14:26 kf see
14:26 eythian_ I think the wifi is a bit overloaded here
14:26 * kf hands druthb icecream so she is occupied for a while
14:26 druthb nom nom nom
14:26 kf eythian_: but free drinks - you got lucky :)
14:26 eythian_ also free ice blocks
14:27 asaurat free drinks ? where ??

15:16 tcohen anyone related to koha-translate here?
15:16 found a problem with the .po
15:17 (parsing problem I guess)
15:17 kf tcohen: not sure I can help
15:17 but I can try
15:17 tcohen http://translate.koha-communit[…]html?unit=3553504
15:18 intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modul​es/help/tools/letter.tt:84
15:18 kf hm, that doesn't look right
15:18 tcohen looks like the line was not parsed ok
15:18 kf but it'smarked fuzzy
15:18 hm I think it's probably right
15:18 tcohen if you look at that file
15:18 kf sometimes the programmakes werid suggestions, but it's marked fuzzy
15:18 do you have a link to the file?
15:20 tcohen mm, no
15:20 i just used my cloned git repo
15:20 the thing is that the spanish translated line looks ok if you compare to the line in the file
15:21 kf tcohen: the line will not get translated currently
15:21 sometimes the parser doesn't get links right
15:21 there are probably more strings for that line
15:21 and I think enhancedmessagespreferenc is linked?
15:21 tcohen the line says:
15:21 <li>The <span class="link">EnhancedMessagingPreferences</span> is set to 'Allow'</li>
15:21 the spanish translation for that line is ok
15:22 kf I think it's ok too for other langauges
15:22 sarch pootle for is set to 'Allow'
15:22 tcohen you mean it is stripped into several parts for translating them in parts instead of alltogether?
15:23 kf http://translate.koha-communit[…]html?unit=3553501
15:23 yep exactly
15:23 that's why the translation is currently wrong
15:23 I amnot saying that this is ideal or shoudl happen... but it can happen
15:23 tcohen I understand it kf, thanks
15:24 kf I think getting the parser correct to catch every possible variabtion correctly is hard :(
15:24 hm and ignore all my typos, it's entirely too warm here
15:24 tcohen i hope you ignore mine :-d
15:25 kf I think maybe someting changed in the template - like the pref getting linked
15:26 so thatwould explain the difference between old and new translation
15:26 I am melting - bbl :)
15:26 kf left #koha
15:29 tcohen kf, you're right
15:29 i'm having trouble finding that 'The ' string

16:36 thanks for that oleonard

16:49 Should we not block deletion of subfields marked mandatory in batch item modification?
16:51 jcamins oleonard: we should.
16:52 oleonard Although batch item modification doesn't let you pick what framework you're using.. That's a potential friction point

17:09 oleonard Depends what you're doing
17:09 There's text(): http://api.jquery.com/text/
17:09 jcamins oleonard: the part I'm having trouble with is replace()
17:10 I thought you used something like $('element').html($('elemen​t').html().replace(/text/, 'whatever'));
17:10 I'm getting told that .html() doesn't have a replace method.
17:11 Got it.
17:11 Wrong number of parentheses.
17:11 Never mind.

19:35 oleonard It is not necessary to prostrate yourself upon entry
19:35 hankbank :)
19:36 wizzyrea lol
19:37 hankbank It was either that or post a quote from shakespeare
19:38 jcamins hankbank: which quote?
19:38 hankbank “O wonder!How many goodly creatures are there here!How beauteous mankind is! O brave new worldThat has such people in't!” The Tempest Act 5, scene 1, 181–184
19:38 * oleonard would have accepted that
19:39 rangi You should reply to my Tolkien quote with that
19:39 jcamins That's a good quote.
19:39 hankbank verily! forsooth...this is how I feel about this our shared endeavour
19:42 libsysguy anybody have protips for storing an array of strings in the database?
19:43 should I just store them with a delimiter or perhaps use the ENUM function?
19:43 rangi I hate both ideas
19:43 libsysguy me too :-/
19:43 jcamins What about normalizing the structure?
19:43 rangi I'd use Perl to serialise them
19:44 And store that
19:44 jcamins Or you could do that.
19:44 But I'd want to be very sure that you really wanted to store an array and weren't trying to cheat and store multiple values in one field by storing an array.
19:44 libsysguy yeah that's probably what I should do, but my inner database junky wants to normalize the datastructure
19:45 rangi Yep
19:45 libsysguy well its for the calendar, after I found out the parse function was crap
19:45 jcamins My inner "I don't want to debug your mess" voice wants to normalize the data structure as well. :P
19:45 libsysguy and I need to store a list of days
19:46 then parse it to build a set of closed days
19:46 since the format function croaks with spans of dates
19:46 rangi A serialized object makes sense to me
19:47 You end up with a nightmare of joins in that case if you store each date as a row
19:47 libsysguy yeah I suppose it does.  I don't know of an effective way to normalize weekdays
19:48 this will introduce a new dep I think
19:48 Storable*
19:49 rangi It's core I think
19:49 libsysguy ahh
19:49 well that would be nice
19:49 rangi And the session uses it already
19:49 libsysguy ah ok
19:49 jcamins Hm, that's true about the joins.
19:49 libsysguy in that case, onward and upward
19:50 yeah joins in an already stressed db could spell disaster
19:50 rangi Brb
19:50 libsysguy ballocs this is going to take some time to re-arrange
19:53 ok second thought
19:53 what if instead of serializing the data I just enter a column for each weekday
19:53 err day of the week
19:54 cait sounds not too bad to me :)
19:54 but I am not the data structure expert here
19:54 libsysguy or I could take it a step further and create a week_days_closed table, that would only be one join
19:55 it would keep the data normal but would cost you a table
19:55 cait I dunno
19:55 :)
19:55 libsysguy hehe
19:55 * druthb loves watching the hapless youth flailing.
19:55 cait it was way too hot here today, I am still recovering from cooked brain

19:55 hehe
19:56 * jcamins chuckles.
19:56 libsysguy I just want to make the best decision so that somebody doesn't say about me what I am saying about the person who wrote the calendar now
19:56 druthb aww...

19:58 cait wb rangi
19:58 oleonard: it was just untestable :(
19:58 rangi what if your library is closed different days on different weeks
19:58 cait rangi: now you getmean :)
19:58 jcamins rangi: I thought that's what this feature was for?
19:58 oleonard cait: Yeah, and it should have been simple to split it up if there had been the will to do so
19:59 libsysguy you would have a separate event or an exception
19:59 either way you have to take the intersection of the 2 sets
20:00 rangi in that case a table is better
20:00 libsysguy i think it would be better for searching too
20:00 rangi as long as it stores times too
20:00 libsysguy it could increase the efficiency of searching from the database
20:01 I want to see events for closures on mo/we/fr
20:01 reports++
20:01 not that anybody cares that much about closed days
20:03 * druthb gets out her slingshot, puts a red Skittle in it, and takes aim at libsysguy

20:06 cait heh
20:06 * wizzyrea readies the crate of trouts she keeps under her desk for just such occasions
20:06 druthb The only thing that'd be scarier is if I had an op-star.
20:07 libsysguy we'd all be kicked
20:07 druthb if by "we" you mean, yourself, and the mouse in your pocket, then yes, libsysguy.
20:07 wizzyrea he has a mouse in his pocket?
20:08 druthb he's saying "we", but he's the only one who'd get kicked, by me anyway, so he must.
20:08 cait oh
20:08 libsysguy hehe
20:08 cait why would you kick him?
20:08 libsysguy because I'm a bad apple
20:08 druthb Exercise.

20:13 libsysguy fine, dibs on colossus

20:13 druthb Clearly thought up by some sexist *man*.  X-Men, indeed....what about X-Women, too?
20:13 libsysguy well there is storm, gene...
20:14 wizzyrea if I were more psychokinetic I'd be jean grey
20:14 though Lilandra, Majestrix of the Shi'ar Empire has a nice ring to it
20:14 * druthb would love Shadowcat's powers.  Tha'd be cool.
20:15 druthb Majestrix?  Definitely fits you, wizzyrea

20:16 wizzyrea you mean like an expo
20:16 or something
20:16 rangi wizzyrea: i dunno thats the worst thing i could think of
20:16 druthb wizzy, you'd look...erm...majestic in that, but it looks hot and uncomfortable.
20:17 wizzyrea iunno.

20:19 why do they need so many variables
20:20 oleonard Oh, there's a mutant "with the ability to easily understand any language, whether verbal or written." I wonder if that extends to programming languages?
20:21 wizzyrea let's just say it does
20:21 druthb wizzyrea says it is so.
20:21 rangi 64 bugs in need sign off, i bet we can get that below 50 by the end of the week if each person does 2

20:35 wizzyrea hmm
20:35 * wizzyrea blames haarp
20:35 oleonard wizzyrea: It won't do anything if your defaultSortField pref isn't set to call number
20:35 wizzyrea it has to be set before the patch is applied - I get it
20:36 * wizzyrea rolls it back and tries again
20:36 oleonard wizzyrea: The update is only there to catch installations where they have it set to an invalid value
20:36 wizzyrea gotya
20:37 and when you search, the drop down should say "call number"
20:37 ?
20:38 oleonard Yes
20:38 wizzyrea hrmm
20:38 oleonard Not a good sound.
20:38 wizzyrea I have the patch on, mine still says relevance
20:38 even though the prefs are set to call number
20:38 * wizzyrea clears the cache and what not
20:39 * cait cheers wizzyrea on and looks at rangi's bug suggestions
20:39 rangi i wonder if we can ask nengard to switch off the reposting of old videos, confuzzles people
20:39 * rangi puts that on his to do list
20:39 * druthb cheers wizzyrea too, then hits the scroll buffer to see what we're cheerin' about.
20:41 wizzyrea yea sorry, oleonard I don't think that is working :/
20:41 oleonard Okay, fail that puppy
20:46 Gotta run. See you tomorrow #koha

20:51 rangi :)
20:54 http://heimatseeker.tumblr.com[…]43228677/soup-hub
20:55 wizzyrea @later tell oleonard I found the problem I think - it looks like the default value of ascending isn't actually set - you have to switch it to another and then back to ascending, and then it works re: bug 8657
20:55 huginn wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.
20:55 rangi ahh yes theres a bug for that wizzyrea
20:56 im pretty sure i signed it off
20:56 * druthb waves, and runs out.
20:56 * jcamins agrees with rangi about the existence of the bug.
20:56 wizzyrea oh cool - so I should not worry about that problem and sign off on this part, because it does work once the sort order is set properly
20:56 ya?
20:57 rangi sounds good to me
20:57 wizzyrea okies
20:57 rangi bug 8012
20:57 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8012 trivial, P5 - low, ---, ruth, Passed QA , defaultSortOrder and OPACdefaultSortOrder are set to "ascending" on install
20:57 wizzyrea @later tell oleonard well cool, looks like there's a separate bug for that problem which means *your* patch WORKS and I'll sign off :D
20:57 huginn wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.
20:58 rangi A little investigation showed that this value is actually initialized NULL--which you can't set in the interface--which shows "ascending."  But the actual behavior of the sort is kinda screwy by that.  To me, it makes sense to initialize the value to SOMETHING...
20:58 that ^^
20:58 wizzyrea ya, exactly
20:58 that is precisely what I observed
20:59 jcamins Wouldn't it be nice if sorting weren't so brittle?
21:00 rangi someone should rewrite it
21:00 jcamins Yeah, I agree.
21:00 wizzyrea hehe
21:03 cait I think it's maybe missing default values in sql/pref file?
21:03 rangi it is, but 8012 fixes that cait
21:03 jcamins cait: it is, but it also is a problem with the sorting.
21:04 cait ah cool :)
21:04 and heya jcamins :)
21:04 jcamins With the fixed default, we just don't notice that the sorting implementation is brittle.
21:04 Unless we are me.
21:05 In which case we curse it frequently.

21:25 wizzyrea well this is 3.6.4 so it could just be buggy
21:25 yea, I think you're right
21:25 cait or somehing, not sure
21:25 wizzyrea but I don't think that stuff is in my version
21:25 cait we are not using the lost workflow yet
21:25 yeah, it was a recent thing on bugzila
21:36 wizzyrea weird. I can't explain why that happened.
21:36 or didn't happen, as the case may be.

21:37 wizzyrea the lost status was removed, ok. it was checked in, ok. but it didn't come off of the account - WEIRD.
21:37 cait hm.
21:37 maybe somehting with the way it was retunred?
21:37 rangi hmm that is weird, it should have lodged a credit balancing at zero
21:37 wizzyrea yea, precisely ^^
21:37 but… how could they return it that it would not trigger the process.
21:38 * wizzyrea tries all the check in boxes
21:39 wizzyrea now it just says "not checked out" - bc it is, in fact, not checked out
21:40 rangi hehe
21:40 wizzyrea I wonder about checking it out to the patron again and checking it in
21:40 but...
21:40 the simple solution to this is to just manually writeoff the $15 and lift her debarment manually.
21:40 :P
21:41 and chalk it up to a network error.
21:41 or something
21:41 sunspot
21:41 oh, we did have sunspots today
21:41 3 M class ones, even.
21:41 rangi id try checking it out and in again
21:41 * wizzyrea goes with suspots.
21:41 wizzyrea hehe
21:41 yea, that usually is a cure all
21:43 cait sunspots :)
21:43 rangi wahanui: excuse?
21:43 wahanui rangi: Mouse has out-of-cheese-error
21:44 rangi there you go
21:44 wizzyrea mmmm yes
21:44 wahanui: excuse?
21:44 wahanui wizzyrea: operation failed because: there is no message for this error (#1014)
21:44 wizzyrea KEKE

21:45 wahanui cait: Redundant ACLs.
21:45 cait excuse?
21:45 wahanui cait: Our ISP is having {switching,routing,SMDS,frame relay} problems
21:45 cait excuse?
21:45 wahanui cait: Someone has messed up the kernel pointers
21:45 wizzyrea how do you add an excuse?
21:45 cait hmmm
21:45 * wizzyrea wants to add sunspots
21:45 rangi thats in there
21:45 wizzyrea oh good

21:52 cait 8607
21:52 bug 8607
21:52 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8607 blocker, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Passed QA , overdue_notices is broken
21:56 rangi can you confirm that bug 8607 works, if so ill push it to 3.8.x for 3.8.4
21:57 cait working on it
21:57 I got the fines
21:57 and I got messages created
21:57 rangi sweet
21:58 cait so that's one step further from having the script explodeon me
21:58 but I stil have to check the contents of the messages
21:58 rangi it's a tiny patch (8607)
21:58 cait yeah
21:58 i have to undo the fine patch and check again
21:59 because that is not working :(
21:59 for me at least
21:59 it#s still not outputting the fine
21:59 rangi yeah it probably wont without 8607
21:59 cait and what's wirth
21:59 worse
21:59 it's not giving me a list of items, but only one item whre it should be 2
21:59 ropuch joined #koha
21:59 cait yeah, you can't test the fine syntax without applying 8607 - I only have to check how broken it is without using th efine syntax changes
22:00 rangi actually im pushing to 8607, there's no way it can work without that change
22:00 cait makes sense
22:00 i still get errors with the patch running the script - but warnings
22:00 rangi good you spotted that before the release
22:00 cait Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at overdue_notices.pl line 683
22:01 yeah
22:01 wajasu's patch doesn't work :(
22:01 it breaks the way the notices are done
22:01 rangi ah well, fail qa, thats better than leaving it in needs signoff
22:01 cait yeah I will
22:01 but the first patch works allright
22:01 rangi the upside is, we spotted 8607 doing this
22:01 cait doesn't output fines
22:01 but all items show up in the notice
22:01 rangi sweet
22:01 cait but...
22:01 the fix you did once... is undone
22:02 rangi hmm ?
22:02 cait it should have given me a first notice and a second notice
22:02 2 letters
22:02 it doesn't
22:02 rangi ah yeah
22:02 cait I hate when we break stuff that I tested and tested and tested
22:03 rangi actually i think 7447 isnt in 3.8
22:03 nope
22:03 so yeah 3.8.x doesnt have that bug
22:03 just master
22:03 edveal left #koha
22:03 rangi so i dont need to push 8607
22:03 cait oh

22:03 but it's still majorly broken :(
22:03 rangi in master?
22:03 cait yeah

22:04 i bet its better than master
22:04 cait I will have to create a new database for that
22:04 too late today
22:04 rangi ahh not today
22:04 :)
22:04 cait will try before work
