03:40 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
03:47 wajasu yo
03:56 mtompset Greetings, wajasu.
05:00 wajasu ok got bug 8447 signed sealed and ...
05:00 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8447 critical, P1 - high, ---, gmcharlt, Signed Off , can't save new records / indicator error
05:08 wajasu @later tell jcamins 8447 worked, and signed off. its got the original fields, plus the line field(9) and the extra ones. i attached a PNG, nice work.
05:08 huginn wajasu: The operation succeeded.
05:37 wajasu @later tell rangi - 8447 got fixed with jacamins and i suspect 8552 to be a dupe, so I'll leave it to you to decide.
05:37 huginn wajasu: The operation succeeded.
05:39 mtompset HA! As I suspected. None of the INSTALL.{OS} files mention koha-common!
05:39 wajasu i know.  i thought it was just for testers.
05:40 but i've seeen folks encourage its use beyond testing.
05:40 cait joined #koha
05:45 cait good morning #koha
05:45 wajasu hi
05:47 cait: i had just signed off bug 8447 and i suspect that bug 8552 is a dupe.  maybe you can confirm my suspicion.
05:47 cait hi wajasu
05:47 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8447 critical, P1 - high, ---, gmcharlt, Signed Off , can't save new records / indicator error
05:47 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8552 critical, P1 - high, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , BiblioAddsAuthorities set to Allow causes Software Error on Z3950 import
05:47 cait hm I am not sure wajasu
05:48 I haven't looked into them
05:48 wajasu ok.
05:48 cait and it seems one is for bibligraphic and one is for authorities?
05:48 the code might be similar for both
05:48 ah no
05:48 sorry
05:48 both for bibliogrpahic
05:49 mtompset Greetings, cait.
05:49 cait wajasu: I just got up
05:49 wajasu jacamins an i fixed the Default Linker which messed up the biblio for subject headings (use case i had was 630).  i think 100 and others had the same behavior in 8552, since they were using AutoAddauthorities too.
05:51 cait hm
05:51 I think melia noted it as duplicate too in comment 11
05:51 I would mark the bug report that has no patches as the duplicate maybe
05:53 wajasu ok. added comments and leaving for others. I'm done for today.
05:54 cait sorry for being confusing - I need some time in the mornings :)
05:58 mtompset Don't we all, cait?
06:13 bag wajasu: I really think that is a dup
06:16 mtompset Well edit'ing and testing of INSTALL/Wiki instruction to resume later.
06:16 Bye.

08:41 huginn cait: The current temperature in Taegerwilen, Taegerwilen, Germany is 15.2°C (10:40 AM CEST on September 08, 2012). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 89%. Dew Point: 13.0°C. Pressure: 30.24 in 1024 hPa (Steady).
08:42 cait half of the temperature here
08:42 mtompset Rehydrating now.
08:42 Back to documentation.
08:43 cait back to it law...
08:44 mtompset Bah. It's call covered in Exodus 20. ;) No need for any other laws. Do we really need more than the 10 commandments? ;)
08:44 cait I tihnk so
08:45 mtompset Sadly, you're right. :(
08:45 cait but I agree the 10 commandments are not a bad start
08:46 mtompset Considering that the intent of them is so easily broken, sometimes I wonder if we'll ever master the basics.
09:16 rangi finally tracked down the problem
09:16 cait which problem?
09:16 evening rangi
09:16 rangi the 8 failing tests
09:17 and its a real one too
09:17 you cant modify anyhing with it
09:17 bug 8089
09:17 cait with?
09:17 wahanui with is what I think I meant
09:17 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8089 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Pushed to Master , Use Koha::Cache everywhere
09:17 cait hm?
09:17 rangi so you cant modify borrowers
09:17 cait can you explain?
09:17 oh wow
09:17 that's a big big bug
09:17 rangi or anything
09:17 wahanui anything is possible with enough development work :)
09:17 rangi in master
09:17 since that was pushed
09:18 http://jenkins.koha-community.[…]Build/testReport/
09:18 cait how did it happen? the caching effecting the editing?
09:18 rangi tests prove how useful they are
09:18 no
09:18 the cache bit is fine
09:18 its a bit jared changed to make it cache that is wrong
09:18 cait ah, so something else is in the patch?
09:18 oh
09:19 jared will be devastated
09:19 rangi im not sure how it ever got pushed
09:19 tests must just simply not have been run
09:19 cait or the usual... the tests must be wrong
09:19 rangi nope the tests are very very very rarely wrong
09:20 cait don't tell me :)
09:21 rangi +            $result = $cache->get_from_cache("sqlhelp​er:GetPrimaryKeys:$tablename");
09:21 that is ok
09:21 this
09:21 $result = grep { $hash_columns->{$_}->{'Key'} =~/PRI/i}  keys %$hash_columns;
09:21 is not
09:21 that should be @result
09:22 return  grep { $hash_columns->{$_}->{'Key'} =~/PRI/i}  keys %$hash_columns;
09:22 that was the original line
09:22 returns an array
09:22 but now its a scalar
09:23 ill attach a patch
09:23 jenkins_koha Starting build #164 for job Koha_3.8.x (previous build: SUCCESS)
09:24 cait rangi++
09:24 rangi i missed it in my first test
09:24 since i only tested an add
09:25 cait happens often
09:26 rangi yep, but i must have not run the tests, or this would have happened, and neither did kyle, or marcel, or paul
09:26 adnc_ joined #koha
09:26 rangi that has to stop
09:28 cait yeah
09:28 that is the really worrysome bit about it :(
09:28 when qa doesn#t test
09:28 they at least should run the tests
09:28 rangi but at least jenkins caught it
09:28 so our backstop caught it
09:29 cait yeah
09:29 but jenkins sould be a happy bot that never gets bothered
09:29 rangi yep
09:30 @later tell paul_p bug 8089 breaks most of Koha (cant modify anything that uses SQLHelper) there is a patch attached that fixes it
09:30 huginn rangi: The operation succeeded.
09:35 rangi http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]ment.cgi?id=12077
09:35 simple fix for a massive error
09:35 cait some things have big consequences
09:35 rangi changing an array to a scalar by accident sure can
09:44 cait left #koha
09:50 rangi hmm bug 8408 is not going in 3.8.x
09:50 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8408 minor, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Pushed to Master , Odd OPAC message when OPAC Renewals are disabled and OPACFineNoRenewals is set to blank
10:02 rangi hi matts
10:02 matts hi !
10:21 mtompset kia ora, rangi
10:21 Greetings, matts
10:24 And what if the bot was so happy it misses it?
10:26 jenkins_koha Project Koha_3.8.x build #164: UNSTABLE in 1 hr 3 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.[…]b/Koha_3.8.x/164/
10:26 * jcamins: Bug 8204 follow-up: don't display OpacNav on auth details
10:26 * jcamins: Bug 8678: XSLT stylesheets output XML, but HTML is needed
10:26 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8204 major, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Pushed to Stable , Authority viewer in OPAC ugly, unfriendly, and mostly useless
10:26 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8678 major, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Pushed to Master , XSLT stylesheets output XML, but HTML is needed
10:28 mtompset Why didn't they just make the message something like "You have outstanding fines, contact a librarian."?
10:28 rangi that again is not right
10:29 the reason they are blocked from renewals is not they have outstanding fines
10:29 its that the have outstanding charges, over a certain threshold
10:30 which can be set in system preferences, so changing it to jsut say you have outstanding is a change in behaviour, it used to say you owed more than the threshold
10:30 mtompset Ah.
10:31 But if that was the message for the $0.00 case, wouldn't that be okay?
10:31 rangi yep
10:31 mtompset It's like patching a plural with (s), because you are too lazy to check the 0/1/>1 cases. ;)
10:32 rangi :)
10:34 mtompset Oh... I was thinking about documentation.
10:34 rangi !jenkins build Koha_3.8.x now
10:34 jenkins_koha rangi: job Koha_3.8.x build scheduled now
10:34 Starting build #165 for job Koha_3.8.x (previous build: UNSTABLE -- last SUCCESS #163 2 days 1 hr ago)
10:34 mtompset Because obviously it is important. :)
10:35 The INSTALL.{OS} file is only going to be read in the case of a tarball or git install, right?
10:35 If it is a package install, they won't have that file.
10:35 rangi yep, but it should start with, are you sure you should be doing this, just install the packages
10:35 thats right cos you dont need it
10:36 * rangi goes to bed
10:36 mtompset I'm working on trying to synchronize the Wiki and INSTALL.{OS} with that in mind.
11:16 sijobl joined #koha
11:36 jenkins_koha Yippie, build fixed!
11:36 Project Koha_3.8.x build #165: FIXED in 1 hr 2 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.[…]b/Koha_3.8.x/165/
12:49 mtj mtompset, you also get bonus points for moving the web-install steps, into a new general doc
12:50 mtompset I'm 25% of the way through a restructure of the INSTALL.OS and Wiki pages.
12:50 mtj after all, the web-install steps are identical for all Koha install methods, on every OS
12:50 mtompset Quite tur.
12:50 true.
12:50 I've gotten several: You should be using packages.
12:51 into the docs now.
12:51 Because I want point 2.7.2 to be the same point in the Wiki and INSTALL.OS file.
12:51 mtj yep, now you're getting the hang of it... :)
12:52 mtompset I will however, provide a mapping between the "standard" "site" and "dev" installs.
12:52 something that is currently lacking.
12:54 And frankly, I am annoyed by the Appendix A answers for the install process.
12:54 They should be in the same section!
12:55 "If you are still persisting to do a tarball install, this file is the only support you are likely to get in the future: "
12:56 mtj sorry, i dont know want yr refering to
12:56 the install process, or a doc describing the install process
12:58 so, whats your restructure plan?
12:59 i have a restructure plan for the install docs too :)
13:00 …so we might be duplicating a whole lot of work, between us
13:09 mtompset There might be some tweaks to be made in reordering on http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Ubuntu
13:09 But actually, if you have an order in mind, I wouldn't mind hearing it, so we can co-ordinate that.
13:10 I personally like my subtle hint "aptitude search koha-common"
13:10 while checking to see if aptitude is installed. ;)
13:12 mtj its all pretty simple obvious advice  really....
13:13 1/ remove references to obselete versions of stuff
13:14 2/ put the the install steps that are generally relevant, in a single document
13:15 (and, remove duplicated info too)
13:17 3/ keep the documentation concise and correct and simple
13:18 4/ keep the language simple, so its easy to machine-translate - and for non-english people to understand
13:18 5/ dont add unnecessary information
13:19 6/ dont add incorrect information
13:19 .
13:20 thats prolly about it… :)
13:21 7/ keep the documentation unders source-control, appoint a doc-manager/QA-team...
13:21 the last ones v. important
13:22 mtompset 7) hasn't happened yet.
13:22 mtj 8/ remove all the old, incorrect, outdated install pages from the wiki
13:22 mtompset But I agree.
13:22 I'll get around to that too.
13:22 I'm at 30% now. Need to keep going.
13:25 mtj 9/ and probably autobuild some wikipages from the install docs, after a commit happens
13:26 so, there might be install pages on the wiki, (but they will be compiled and read-only)
13:27 thats the best way forward, as i see it...
13:29 ok, off to bed now…  :)
13:37 mtompset "If you are still persisting to do a tarball install, this file is the only support you are likely to get in the future" -- Is that too harsh?
13:37 mtj yeah, too harsh :p
13:38 mtompset But come on... packages have been around since 3.4
13:38 actually earlier, but 3.4 in production.
13:40 mtj specifc to an ubuntu install, then yeah… tarball is a no-no
13:41 sorry, i thought you meant, in general...
13:43 ok, now *really* off to bed :) ciao
15:07 mtompset It's gotten rather quiet now.
15:09 * wajasu door creaking
15:16 mtompset wajasu: You're awake?
15:16 What timezone are you in?
15:17 wajasu i'm in Texas, it 10:15 am
15:17 where are you? Philipines?
15:17 mtompset I have a friend who is marrying a girl from Texas. -- Yes, I'm in the Philippines 11:17PM
15:18 But I'm not crazy enough to expect you to know everyone in Texas. ;)
15:18 wajasu i was there August 2011, in Batangas province
15:18 mtompset That's sort of close to where I am.
15:18 But I'm in Laguna.
15:19 Magsalita sa Tagalog po ba kayo? ;)
15:20 (That's ugly tagalog for do you speak in Tagalog)
15:20 wajasu i tried once, but it doesn't work well over irc.
15:22 most everyone know english.   i went to the rock, and that vocano for fun.  i learned a lot about your history.  You have alot of people living in those islands.
15:25 mtompset I'm Canadian, but being called a Filipino is okay. They are so hospitable. :)
15:25 My wife is Filipino though. :)
15:25 did you learn the parts of history that overlapped with US history?
15:26 wajasu yes.
15:26 mtompset the part about how freedom from Spain because of a fight over Cuba?
15:27 wajasu yes. the world is always fighting.  it seems the Philipines has been in the middle of many wars and paid dearly.
15:29 mtompset Yes, too much fighting and cross-fire, but the Filipino people are resilient because of it. :)
15:29 Also helped that McArthur kept his promise to return. :)
15:30 wajasu yes. that whole perspective McArthur was ausome.
15:31 mtompset *whew* ... Editing documentation is such a slow process!
15:32 I'm almost 55% of the way done.
15:32 It's like I've got a novel in the INSTALL file.
15:32 wajasu koha needs to get more user/dev/freindly.  its sorely needed.
15:33 mtompset Right now, I'm trying to clean up the documentation for Ubuntu.
15:34 I just finished editing through all the preliminary set up steps.
15:34 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Ubuntu
15:35 I'm at section 3 now.
15:35 the manual build part.
15:41 wajasu i deployed my koha 3 years ago on archlinux.  i think koha needs to package its dependencies in a perl local:lib in the future, because the distributions upgrade perl, but the koha code is not ready.
15:42 mtompset perl local:lib?
15:44 wajasu there is an external perl build/packaging tool called carton, which if we used it, we could gather all the parl dependencies, and make a perl lib directory separate from the host  distributions version.
15:45 for external deps.
15:45 and maybe we could use perlbrew.
15:47 mtompset But since archlinux (from what I have briefly read in the last 5 minute) is build what you want... why not just use the debian repos?
15:48 wajasu archlinux has its own package manager called pacman (not rpm), and i wrote a script to build the packages from cpan which worked.
15:49 * mtompset bows to the hard-core awesomeness of wajasu. ;)
15:49 mtompset debian use .deb files, not .rpm's.
15:50 wajasu but cpan depenedcies have more deps, etc. which gets big.  so koha is really debian dependent on having packages available.
15:50 i see.
15:51 mtompset Actually... I was tinkering with a script for a yum-based install (CentOS)
15:51 The problem is I would have to pull things from CPAN.
15:52 And that seems yucky.
15:52 Unless I packaged them, and then installed from the packages I generated.
15:52 wajasu i have a nice bash script that runs using a debian preseed file and builds a koha VM(using libvirt/qemu and includes the koha-common packages, pulling from the k-c.org repo.
15:53 mtompset I'm running Ubuntu, so no need for that. :)
15:54 wajasu it was to distribution agnostic, and let folks run koha in a debian VM.  so know i would deploy the koha appliance to archlinux, ubuntu, etc.
15:55 the problem with archlinux was it updated so frequently, its not what you want for a server, because if an update changes the perl version, your koha is broken.
15:56 so thats why i experimented with perlbrew, perl local:lib and then went to a VM.
15:57 mtompset Changes the DEFAULT perl?
15:59 Well, it's nearing midnight. I need to get to bed, or I'll turn into a pumpkin. ;)
15:59 wajasu i was running koha on perl 5.12, and when it went to 5.14 in the OS, koha broke.  i had changed the rewrie script to change to #!/usr/bin/env and things were fine
15:59 later
