00:05 Judit MORNING
00:05 sorry
00:06 jcamins EVENING! :D
00:07 Judit :D
00:07 * jcamins thinks everyone should be that excited about their time of day.
00:07 Judit i am
00:10 jcamins Okay, what about this compromise for 8523: start out with replicating the existing functionality for non-UNIMARC, with a follow-up patch adding a cron job to generate bidirectional links from unidirectional data.
00:11 rangi that works
00:12 melia left #koha
00:13 jcamins *?
00:14 rangi as a compromise
00:14 libsysguy joined #koha
00:16 jcamins I don't want to do anything too big with this because the feature currently works with UNIMARC, and the larger the change, the more likely it is to break that.

00:29 jcamins mtj: not quite working there.
00:29 rangi hmm nope still reporting old already reported stuff
00:35 49!
00:35 mtj meh, im gonna give that birdy a rest ...
00:35 rangi probably twitter screwing with their api again
00:36 they are a great case in point why building a business model on someone elses proprietary platform is a dumb move
00:36 mtj what was the platform?
00:36 rangi twitter
00:36 http://www.nbcnews.com/technol[…]d-you-care-965306
00:37 mtj aah , i thought you meant twitter build their platform, on another proprietary platform
00:37 rangi it's also a case why open api's aren't enough
00:37 apis too
00:37 if its not free software, you are still not in control

00:49 dcook Morning #koha!
00:50 rangi heya dcook
00:50 hows canada?
00:50 jcamins Welcome back to this side of the Pacific/Atlantic.
00:50 dcook Thanks, jcamins :)
00:50 Hey rangi. Vancouver is certainly growing on me again
00:51 How've the past few weeks gone?
00:51 rangi not too bad, busy, but can't complain
00:53 dcook That's good to hear. I downloaded about 1200 emails, but it was a reasonable amount of work left in the end. Yay for filters.
00:55 rangi :)
01:09 mtj wow, rennes is the best koha opac i've ever seen
01:10 loui mtj kindly post his OPAC url here. tnx
01:10 jcamins loui: it was just posted a half hour ago by rangi.
01:11 mtj http://irc.koha-community.org/[…]2-08-30#i_1062517
01:11 loui Sorry wasn't paying attention to previous messages.
01:12 Thank you mtj.
01:12 mtj loui, and now you know where the logs are :)
01:12 dcook Wow, that is a beauty
01:13 mtj i like the red person, with a head made of books
01:13 loui yeah wow.. nice opac.
01:13 libsysguy i like the cover images moved over
01:13 rangi yeah they look nice on the left
01:13 libsysguy it makes it feel more stream lined
01:13 rangi *nod*
01:14 libsysguy also the refine your search options are nicely spaced and laid out
01:14 jcamins That's why I wanted to sign off on the change from <table> to <div> for results.
01:14 libsysguy http://shouldiusetablesforlayout.com/
01:14 rangi *nod*
01:14 use tables for things that should be tabular, the end
01:15 libsysguy sometimes I cheat and use them for forms :-/
01:15 jcamins lol
01:15 Good content on that website.
01:16 libsysguy indeed
01:16 classy
01:16 rangi sometimes you have to .. depending if you have to support horrible old browsers
01:16 but really for koha, we dont need to
01:16 not anymore anyway
01:17 libsysguy sometimes I get a little nostalgic about the good ol' days of IE6
01:17 :p

01:23 libsysguy so I bought Perl Best Practices last week and have rather enjoyed reading it.  Does anybody have other reading suggestions?  I'm about to start working on a testing suite *hint* *hint*
01:23 rangi modern perl
01:23 wahanui rumour has it modern perl is a good one too
01:23 Judit joined #koha
01:24 libsysguy dang it play store doesn't have it
01:24 but its $5 on the kindle
01:24 jcamins libsysguy: O'Reilly?
01:25 libsysguy http://www.amazon.com/Modern-P[…]words=modern+perl
01:25 ?
01:26 hey I read that head first java book when I was in highschool
01:26 I really enjoyed it
01:26 jcamins Oh, Modern Perl isn't an OReilly book.
01:26 loui So I need to study perl to be able to modify Koha codes?:(
01:26 rangi yes
01:26 libsysguy mmhmm
01:27 to know perl is to know the language of the programming gods
01:27 :p
01:27 loui Never used perl before. I just got interested when I tested KOHA.:D
01:27 jcamins At least the trickster gods.
01:27 Koha isn't an acronym, so the only letter you need to capitalize is the 'K.'
01:27 loui Ok its time to understand God. lol
01:27 rangi http://xkcd.com/208/
01:28 jcamins lol
01:28 A favorite. :)
01:28 libsysguy personal favorite
01:29 ok rangi I bought that book
01:29 it better be good :p
01:29 rangi it is
01:29 jcamins If only there were a place from which you could borrow books for free.
01:30 libsysguy yeah idk where that would be
01:30 rangi anything by chromatic is good
01:30 libsysguy I couldn't get a library card
01:30 jcamins Maybe there could be one in every community.
01:30 libsysguy so I think I am out of options
01:30 jcamins Or even associated with every school.
01:30 rangi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C[…]atic_(programmer)
01:30 jcamins Naw.
01:30 That'd be crazy.
01:31 rangi http://www.onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/
01:31 i get it from there
01:31 libsysguy if only these places could be not so exclusive
01:31 rangi and donate to the other
01:31 publishes are dicks and i dont want to encourage them :)
01:31 libsysguy agreed
01:32 loui I am working in a library with 35 thousand collections with only 2 perl old books.:(
01:32 libsysguy well perl is old anyway
01:32 but not crusty
01:33 jcamins loui: libsysguy lives in a city with at least a half dozen libraries.
01:33 loui And these 2 books was never used. heh
01:33 libsysguy jcamins don't encourage loui to make fun of me :p
01:33 loui libsysguy you are lucky.
01:34 libsysguy i recently moved here
01:34 but I used to work at a library (academic)
01:34 it was…enlightening
01:36 loui anyone for perl vs php?;)
01:37 jcamins loui: Koha is written in Perl.
01:37 * jcamins thinks this is a signal benefit of Perl over PHP.
01:38 loui jcamins you are right. I really need to learn Perl. My boss really likes Koha.
01:38 jcamins Koha is great. :)
01:40 loui Guys any suggestion of Perl IDE for windows?
01:40 jcamins loui: vim. I don't think IDEs work well with Perl.
01:40 (if you prefer, you can use Emacs, or any other text editor, of course)
01:40 * libsysguy recommends emacs
01:41 jcamins You're going to need to set up a Linux system to do your development on.
01:41 libsysguy don't listen to these guys VI and VIM are evil
01:41 :p
01:41 jcamins You can use VirtualBox to run a virtual machine with Debian.
01:41 virtualbox.org
01:41 loui ok tnx guys.
01:41 libsysguy I'm just kidding, use whatever you're comfortable with
01:46 loui the way I started learning Koha was to think up a spall something I wanted to do and then try and do it
02:12 bshum joined #koha
02:34 * dcook glares at staff client search result formatting/punctuation
02:36 dcook It appears that series title doesn't appear in the staff client search results, but series volume does...and it appears right after the title and before the author...
02:37 * dcook wonders where the best place to put series information would be in the search results
03:26 Judit joined #koha

04:11 mtompset joined #koha
04:11 mtompset Woo hoo! I found the case that breaks it!
04:14 dcook Nice one, mtompset
04:14 mtompset I can now move forward with getting my patch processed.
04:15 dcook Always a handy thing ;)
04:15 mtompset give this a whirl: cataloguing, cataloguing search: 9876543210, check the error logs.
04:16 dcook Alas, I don't have much time these days, my good man, or I certainly would
04:16 * dcook is at 1.5 days a week while he finishes off his degree.
04:16 dcook Much rather be Kohaing than studying, but c'est la vie
04:18 mtompset Cool. Don't want to distract you from studying. :)
04:20 dcook Well, I am working atm ;). Looking at porting bug 8033 back to 3.2

04:21 dcook Mmm...forgot about the template differences
04:21 * dcook facepalm
04:29 WaqarAzeem joined #koha
04:41 mtompset Ah yes. template differences.

05:53 cait good morning Viktor :)
05:53 mtompset Greetings, Viktor.
05:55 Oak: Last night/This morning... I believe it was bag and mtj doing pirate greetings. You're done with the pirate greetings? :)
05:57 Oak nah I did the pirate greeting this morning... then electricity went out, and when it came back, my IRC client auto connected...
05:59 mtompset Ah.
05:59 Okay, I missed it.
05:59 Oak :)
05:59 mtompset I guess I'll be walkin' da plank. ;)
05:59 Oak and how are you today mtompset ?
05:59 mtompset (need to reboot)
06:00 Oak is not it morning?
06:00 mtompset Tired. A backup failed last night, and I got it redone before going to bed.
06:00 Oak ah
06:00 mtompset It's 2pm.
06:00 (in my timezone)
06:00 Be back in a bit.
06:00 Yes, I typed that, because acronyms suck. :)
06:00 Oak okay :)
06:24 alex_a bonjour !
06:29 drojf joined #koha

06:39 mbalmer good morning. mtompset, all
06:39 marcelr hi mbalmer
06:39 mtompset Greetings, marcelr
06:40 marcelr and mtompset
06:40 wahanui mtompset is trying to do a variety of projects in less than three months!
06:42 dcook Quick question for git bz gurus...
06:43 If I use git bz to apply a patch...and then that patch is re-submitted...would I have to revert that first patch before trying its replacement?
06:44 In this scenario, they're not using follow-ups, but...maybe people do actually use follow-ups instead?
06:44 mtompset Sorry, I am not the guru on this.
06:45 laurence joined #koha
06:45 dcook Hmm, I suppose if this situation arose...I could do a diff and then make my own local follow-up for my git...hmm
06:45 Thanks anyways :)
06:49 Hmm, looks like bug 8033 has conflicts with 3.8 anyway...
06:50 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8033 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, elliott, Needs Signoff , add print receipt option to Koha self-check
06:50 dcook At least 3.8.0...
06:50 gaetan_B joined #koha
06:53 mveron joined #koha
06:54 asaurat joined #koha
06:59 dcook Aha! Applying 8111 first helped resolve the conflict/lack of context
07:03 marcelr bug 8111
07:03 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8111 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Pushed to Stable , Language chooser display problem in self-checkout
07:34 dcook Blah...looks like there are other things preventing 8033 from working
07:34 Although there are no warnings...just no content
07:34 * dcook takes a look at Letters.pm and Members.pm
07:38 * mtompset cheers on dcook in his coding quest.
07:46 mtompset Hmmm... shouldn't the C4::Breeding in 3.8.x have a LOWER version number than the C4::Breeding in master?
07:49 dcook I would think so yes
07:49 And thanks for the cheers, but I'm defeated for the day. I'll have to try again on Monday ;)
07:50 mtompset I don't think my master is broken... but the version is 3.7 something vs. 3.8.x's 3.8 something.
07:51 dcook Hmm, mine is the same
07:51 In hindsight, it might be more complicated
07:52 mtompset Well, I'm going to ignore it.. and just generate a patch up. :)
07:52 dcook And perhaps more local than the whole instance?
07:52 Anyway, I got to jet
07:52 Good luck!
07:52 mtompset As far as I can tell, it won't affect my patch.
08:06 eythian joined #koha

08:59 mtompset Does anyone know what "rc" means in the output of dpkg -l?
09:01 eythian r=remove c=config files still around
09:03 mtompset So how do I toast the config files?
09:04 eythian apt-get remove --purge
09:13 asaurat left #koha
09:13 mtompset Seems I have to get lower "dpkg --purge", but thanks. :)
09:13 eythian++
09:13 eythian oh, yeah. If it's already removed I suppose apt-get won't do anything.
09:14 ibeardslee things like synaptic seem to be able to track that and completely remove more

11:12 mtompset What does an "assignee" have to do for a bug report?
11:12 jcamins_away mtompset: write the patch.
11:13 Generally.
11:13 Sometimes a bug report is assigned to the wrong person.
11:13 mtompset Okay... I've done that. I even figured out what to do to test it.
11:14 bug 8350
11:14 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8350 normal, P5 - low, ---, mtompset, Needs Signoff , Searching for a 10 or 13 digit string (with a number in it) that does not exist in one's catalog will fail to affect SQL statement correctly in C4::Breeding
11:17 jcamins mtompset: put the test plan on the bug.
11:18 mtompset It's in the comments on the bug.
11:18 not to mention... the description is it.
11:18 jcamins Good.
11:19 mtompset I even attached 3.6, 3.8, and master patches.
11:19 though the 3.8 and master patches are essentially identical.
11:20 jcamins You should only attach separate patches if the patch for master won't apply to the previous branches.
11:20 jwagner joined #koha
11:21 mtompset well there were line number shifts between 3.6 and 3.8
11:22 oh... does it make sense that the C4::Breeding version is smaller in master than 3.8?
11:23 jcamins git will handle line number changes, if the lines in that area are the same.
11:23 Doesn't matter.
11:24 mtompset okay, so I patch over-killed.
11:25 jcamins I will test your patch.
11:26 mtompset Thanks, jcamins.
11:26 jcamins Hm.
11:27 I need to prune some branches, I think.
11:28 Are all three patches identical?
11:29 Yup.
11:29 mtompset 3.6 has line shifts.
11:29 I've never attempted to apply a patch, so I wasn't sure how that works.
11:29 jcamins All identical. :)
11:30 mtompset Identical in content, but they were all done in the systems they are labeled. :P
11:30 jcamins Right, you forgot to label 3.6.x.
11:31 However, it doesn't matter because there should only be one patch.
11:31 mtompset I suppose you could sign one off and obsolete the rest. ;)
11:32 jcamins I am doing so.
11:32 If it works.
11:32 mtompset One bad patch, and I get "if". :P
11:33 jcamins Looks good.
11:36 mtompset Thanks for testing it, jcamins.
11:40 jcamins When writing patch messages, please be sure to A) put a brief -- ~50 character --  description on the first line, B) put an enlarged description manually wrapped at 72 characters starting on the third line, and C) use carriage returns.
11:41 * jcamins fixed it for this patch, just for the future.
11:44 mtompset (a) Yes, I figured that after the fact, (b) 65 all the way, baby ;), and (c) 1 d0n't L1k3 cR's. ;)
11:44 jcamins++

11:44 mtompset pootle?
11:44 wahanui rumour has it pootle is down for me - can someone else check
11:45 mtompset wahanui, I wanted a URL.
11:45 wahanui mtompset: sorry...
11:45 jcamins forget pootle
11:45 wahanui jcamins: I forgot pootle
11:45 jcamins pootle is http://translate.koha-community.org/
11:46 mtompset: 65-character wrapping is fine, too.
11:46 mtompset Why is it called pootle?
11:46 jcamins That's the software.
11:47 mtompset Ah... Well, pootle is down for me too.
11:47 pootle?
11:47 wahanui i heard pootle was http://translate.koha-community.org/
11:47 jcamins It's up for me.
11:47 forget pootle
11:47 wahanui jcamins: I forgot pootle
11:47 jcamins pootle is http://translate.koha-community.org/
11:47 I must have misspelled something.
11:49 mtompset No, it came up... I blame my internet.
11:50 I was just running through my list of 25 bugs from the top.
11:50 first two, can't solve.
11:51 This pootle thing looked possible. But I noticed kf seems to have touched spanish already.
11:51 So I'll have to ask kf later about it.
11:51 eythian anyone can always add more translations
11:52 mtompset Yes, but she commented on my bug report.
11:52 So, I figured maybe she fixed it.
11:52 jcamins Yeah, that wasn't a real bug.
11:52 mtompset Well, if you can't install spanish, it is. :P
11:53 kf_mtg hm?
11:54 oh i didn't fix it
11:54 someone else seems to have
11:54 jcamins You can install Spanish even with that.
11:54 kf_mtg but not for 3.8.2 probably
11:55 jcamins: I didn't test it - sometimes you can, sometimes the parser gets too confused and dies
11:55 jcamins kf_mtg: oh, I didn't realize those error messages were ever a serious problem- I've seen them many times, and it installs just fine.
11:56 kf_mtg yeah, but they can be serious - it depends
11:56 some are fatal
11:56 those probably isn't
11:56 since they changed the output of the script it got a bit hard to tell without -v
11:58 mtompset Oh, your name was kf_mtg, I didn't want to disturb you, kf.
11:59 * kf_mtg nick kf
11:59 kf_mtg it's ok, I am back
11:59 but quite busy - leaving earlier today and was away for 2 days because of our koha workshop
11:59 mtompset how did the workshop go?
12:01 kf_mtg ah, it went well :)
12:01 eythian kf_mtg: your nick change didn't work
12:02 kf yeah... I always do that
12:09 mtompset Aren't irc clients supposed to be smart enough to know what you meant? ;)
12:10 kf I hate it when things are trying to be smarter than I am - better leave it like this
12:15 drojf joined #koha
12:25 mtompset Actually, the funny thing is... I was looking at the .po file and the second error in my bug report was a result of what seemed like commented out rules.
12:27 which means there may be a tmpl_process3.pl bug.
12:27 But I'll look at that... tomorrow.

12:42 Thanks for the assignment, oleonard. I figured out a test plan for bug 8350, and jcamins was kind enough to sign it off.
12:42 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8350 normal, P5 - low, ---, mtompset, Signed Off , Searching for a 10 or 13 digit string (with a number in it) that does not exist in one's catalog will fail to affect SQL statement correctly in C4::Breeding

12:44 oleonard Glad to hear it mtompset
12:48 * eythian notes that "delete reading history" doesn't seem to work.
12:49 jcamins eythian: better it do nothing than erase all reading history everywhere.
12:49 eythian well, better still it delete the correct history.
12:50 jcamins True.
12:51 mtompset Have a good day (24 hour period), everyone.
12:52 eythian later
12:54 drojf what will koha do if i import records via "tools" and some have identical barcodes?
12:54 jcamins drojf: blank the barcodes, I think.
12:55 rambutan joined #koha
12:56 drojf oh that would be friendly :) so having blank barcodes would be an option if i know which items are problematic beforehand?
12:56 talljoy joined #koha
12:56 jcamins No, I don't think it gives you a choice.
12:57 I haven't tried it, but I think it just blanks the barcodes silently.
12:57 oleonard Okay, meeting time. bbl.
12:57 drojf no i mean before i import the data, i could prepare the data with blank barcodes and that would be ok to import?
12:57 jcamins Oh.
12:57 Yes.
12:57 But why do you have duplicate barcodes?
12:59 drojf because we did not have barcodes in the old system. so we decided to use call number as barcode for import and then switch to real barcodes when it is imported. now that some call numbers got changed, some are ambigous
12:59 * jcamins scratches his head.
12:59 jcamins So what are you importing?
12:59 drojf what do you mean?
13:00 druthb joined #koha
13:00 drojf the plan was to put the call number both into the call number and barcode fields when importing
13:00 jcamins Right.
13:00 So what are the duplicate barcodes?
13:00 Wait- why are you doing that?
13:01 drojf sorry for confusing you :)
13:01 you mean why the copy of call number to the barcode field?
13:01 jcamins Right.
13:02 drojf because you need the barcode to check out stuff. it will take some time until everything has a real barcode
13:02 kf drojf: I think there is an importoption to deal with duplicate barcodes
13:03 eythian developed it
13:03 but not sure in which version
13:03 jcamins kf: that's for bulkmarcimport.
13:03 kf oh,
13:03 jcamins I think stage records has always handled it.
13:03 kf that happens when you just read back...
13:03 that's possible
13:03 jcamins drojf: okay, I am with you so far.
13:03 kf but I thought it would just not import them at all
13:04 jcamins Then we get to the duplicate issue.
13:04 Why are you expecting duplicates?
13:04 kf we have "overwritten" items in the past where some items had been missing
13:04 and I think the duplicated didn't get added.. hm.
13:05 jcamins kf: I haven't tried in a long time, but I thought it added them anyway, wreaking havoc upon the poor unsuspecting catalog. Easy enough to test.
13:05 Once we understand what drojf is doing. :)
13:05 kf jcamins: dealing with crazy data I guess
13:05 drojf jcamins: because up until a few weeks ago, all call numbers were distinct, so the copy in the barcode field would have been too. that changed unfortunately, because somebody decided to have the same call number for several items
13:06 kf: yes
13:06 jcamins drojf: okay.
13:06 Now I understand.
13:06 There is a problem either way the stage import handles it.
13:07 If it blanks them, when someone tries to check out the second item that was imported, they'll end up with the wrong book on their record.
13:07 eythian drojf: it's never worth overloading fields like that, someone always changes something that causes problems like this.
13:07 jcamins If it doesn't add the item, you won't have an item.
13:07 Here's what you need to do:
13:07 kf drojf: would leaving them empty be an option?
13:08 jcamins Figure out which call numbers are duplicated, and don't fill in the barcode for *any* of the items with those call numbers.
13:08 Any other option is worse.
13:08 drojf jcamins: okay, i will do that. thanks a lot
13:09 eythian ah, bug 6506

13:10 eythian wahanui: woodchuck is how much would could a jcamins chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
13:10 wahanui OK, eythian.
13:10 eythian no wahanui, woodchuck is how much wood would a jcamins chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
13:10 wahanui okay, eythian.

13:21 jcamins: hi :) For Bug 7992: In fact I think this plugin is not used. "am123" is the name of a BibLibre's customer.

13:21 jcamins Oh, I thought that was "am" = French for "prefix" and "123" = example number.
13:21 Joubu I agree with you, it is not userfriendly to remove an existing plugin.
13:21 no :) am= Aix Marseille 2 cities
13:21 kf Joubu: I think it is used

13:23 bye all
13:23 mbalmer do we have a vectorized Koha logo around somewhere?  PDF or PS that is.
13:23 drojf bye kf
13:23 jcamins There's a PS somewhere.
13:23 Joubu kf: ok if you think it's in used, we have to keep it. But is not too much to have 3 plugins for stocknumber?
13:23 kf Joubu: if they work in different ways... I think it might not be a problem
13:23 mbalmer jcamins, do you know where?
13:23 wahanui jcamins, is, like, there something identifiably unique about them
13:23 jcamins Joubu: they do different things in different ways, so I think it's not a problem.
13:24 jcamins?
13:24 wahanui i heard jcamins was A-Grade developper on Koha willing to rewrite it from top to bottom. Good Luck jcamins
13:24 jcamins where?
13:24 Joubu jcamins: ok but as I said, am123 is not a good name :)
13:24 * jcamins has no idea where wahanui got that from.

14:18 WaqarAzeem Hello! i tried to install the gnome-desktop-environment on squeeze virtual appliance... after reboot got a blank screen. the error log shows: No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section"
14:20 jcamins WaqarAzeem: that sounds like an X issue. Unfortunately, I don't know how you would fix it. As an aside, it's generally a better idea not to run a desktop environment on servers.
14:22 WaqarAzeem thanks for the reply. yeah that's rigth not to install the UI. but its wired to find this.
14:24 jcamins My guess (keeping in mind that I haven't had problems with X since xfree86 was current) is that either A) it's the graphics card driver, or B) the X autoconfig didn't run and you don't have any screens configured.
