00:07 jcamins_mib wajasu: the route to my VPS went down in flames, so I'll respond once I check the logs and know if you figured out your problem.
00:08 Okay, yeah, you can just go through the webinstaller as usual. No problems yet.
00:08 But you are done for the day, so you can do that tomorrow. :)
00:09 melia left #koha
00:21 wajasu can he run updatedatabase.pl  in the koha-common ?  maybe he is doing a post-installl step.
00:21 jcamins No, that's always done.
00:22 It has nothing to do with the patch.
00:22 It's something that should probably be changed, but in practice it's pretty uncommon to run koha-create, *then* an update, without ever using the instance.
00:25 wajasu i see.
00:25 thx
00:27 he has me cpan Koha::Contrib::Tamil.   its got alot of stuff. (Moose and friends)
00:44 jcamins It sure does.

03:21 phlunk hey, I am just wanting to make some small changes to the koha rss output, can anyone tell me the name of the format the .tt template files are made in? trying to find out if I can add some logic in there so I don't need to adjust anything but the templates.

05:38 cait morning magnuse :)
05:40 magnuse fine thanks, mtompset
05:41 kia ora cait!
05:51 cait :)
05:55 mtompset slides?
05:55 wahanui kf should be writing slides
05:55 mtompset Is this still accurate?
06:01 mbalmer joined #koha
06:03 magnuse hiya mbalmer
06:05 cait mtompset: yeah...
06:05 again.
06:05 but not today.
06:05 mtompset Greetings, mbalmer.
06:08 mbalmer good morning!
06:09 cait morning mbalmer
06:15 alex_a bonjour tout le monde !
06:15 cait, mbalmer, mtompset \o
06:15 mbalmer cpan on my machine says Data::Paginator is up to date (0.05), yet in the Koha about page, the Perl modules listing, it is listed in red as Not Installed.
06:15 cait hi alex_a :)
06:15 mbalmer bonjour alex_a
06:15 same for a few other modules.
06:16 mtompset mblamer... there are sub-dependencies which cause this to be the case.
06:16 I don't know why you would need these optional sub-dependencies, but seemingly you do to get a version number out of it.
06:16 I can't remember how I tracked them down, but I remember doing so recently.
06:17 mbalmer well, perl Makefile.PL shows no missing modules.  So I have no idea what is missing here.
06:17 cait mbalmer: you can ignore it unless you want to use solr I think
06:17 mtompset Exactly.
06:17 Data::Paginator is for Solr stuff.
06:17 And as far as I know, it is OPTIONAL.
06:18 bonjour, alex_a
06:20 mtj … still sounds like a bug, to me
06:22 if ive got D::P installed, and koha says its not… its a bug, surely?
06:22 mbalmer yes, it is a bug.
06:22 but then, there are many bugs in Koha ;)
06:23 cait there are many bugs in every software...
06:23 and we can fix all the bugz :)
06:26 mtompset It's not a bug in Koha. It's a bug in the installed dependencies which prevent it from properly reporting the version number.
06:26 mtj mbalmer, whats your point?
06:27 * mtompset mumbles something about "Moose" under his breath.
06:29 mtompset I suspect if you install "Log::Any" "Moose" "Hash::MoreUtils" "Carp::Assert" "Data::UUID" and "Time::Duration::Parse" (things I had to install to get the CHI and CHI::Driver::Memcached to display a version number correctly) it may fix your problem... but unless you are going to use Solar... DON'T INSTALL MOOSE!
06:29 laurence joined #koha
06:29 mtompset Let me see if I can recall the "perl -e" command line to trigger a version number, and the errors which led me down this path.
06:29 laurence left #koha
06:31 mbalmer mtj, my point is that it is annoying to see these red bars when Koha is actually lying to us about missing modules.  It triggers an "alert" in every conscious sysadmins brain….
06:32 mtj mbalmer, no, the statement *after* that statement… whats your point?
06:33 mbalmer mtj, the one about bugs?
06:34 mtompset perl -e "use {module}; print {module}->VERSION,\"\n\";"
06:34 That should trigger the error on the missing dependency.
06:34 But it really isn't "missing".
06:35 mtj mbalmer, yeah that one… why say something that makes everyone feel bad?
06:37 mtompset Only if they read the IRC logs or are intentionally lurking, mtj. ;)
06:37 mbalmer haha, well, because it is very true, as it is for most software systems of a certain complexity.  just look at the bug database, there for sure are many bugs around.  no one should feel bad about that.  it's just an obvious fact.
06:38 julian_m joined #koha
06:38 laurence joined #koha
06:38 julian_m hello
06:38 mtompset greetings, julian_m
06:39 * mtompset dislikes got cloning a fresh copy.
06:39 mtompset ^got^git^
06:39 julian_m hello mtompset
06:41 reiveune joined #koha
06:42 reiveune hello
06:44 mtompset So, mbalmer, if you wish to figure out what dependencies are missing, you can use: perl -e "use {module}; print {module}->VERSION,\"\n\";"
06:44 mbalmer ah, ok, thanks!
06:44 mtompset Then install them as they become apparent.
06:44 But you don't need to.
06:45 And if you end up installing Moose... so help you.
06:52 asaurat joined #koha
07:01 * magnuse concludes that mtompset is not a fan of moose
07:02 mtompset Well, I haven't formed an opinion based on experience, just on what I have read.
07:02 The load times for Moose are... bad.
07:02 magnuse yeah, you would not want that without plack or something like it
07:02 or so i gather
07:03 mtompset I can't recall, but someone posted a few benchmarks.
07:09 magnuse yeah, there's no doubt that (a) moose is a big beast :-)
07:10 mtompset Which is why we were also discussing Mouse and Moo.
07:10 magnuse ah yes
07:11 mtompset All of them have a forward compatible with Moose syntax capability, and so I'm pretty sure the consensus in the discussion was that we should stick with Moose-like syntax.
07:11 this means we do go forward with plak and moose, we've got code that will transport well.
07:12 magnuse good plan
07:12 mtompset If we want to rework solr to be moo-based instead, we can do that, and still have compatibility.
07:12 (that was not really an option)

07:36 drojf good morning #koha
07:37 samuel joined #koha
07:37 samuel hi everybody
07:38 mtompset Greetings, drojf and samuel
07:39 samuel question: we have problems to import items and link them with bibliographics records.
07:39 kf how are you trying to do it?
07:40 samuel so, we have first made an import of our bibliographic records....
07:41 now, as our items are in another table, we want now import them but something is not clear for me....
07:41 mtompset Should not the items be in the same MARC file that is staged initially?
07:42 You split them, which seems strange to me.
07:42 samuel when i am in stage marc records for import, the item "record matching rule" is fixed on "do not looking for matching records". I can't choose another solution. That would may be the reason i can't link bib and items records? I've not tested with bulkmarcimport for the moment.
07:42 i have not choice, our old ils separate bibliographic and items
07:43 it would be logic to have both in one file
07:43 * mtompset steps aside for some expert to answer, because I don't know a simple solution.
07:46 mtompset Have you used MarcEdit before? I haven't tried the Join tool, but it may be what you need.
07:47 kf samuel: hm
07:47 samuel: how are you trying to match them? in which format is the file you are trying to import?
07:47 samuel: and which version of Koha are you looking at?
07:47 samuel mtompset: join tool, why not, i'll try it :-)
07:48 kf: i use 3.8
07:48 mtompset Take backup copies. :)
07:48 kf I wonder why you can't change the setting - you shoudl be able to - but only after selecting a mjatch point
07:48 so you need a field in both the bilbiographic imported records and the same field in the items that match
07:48 so the system knows what to link
07:49 samuel kf: my files are in marc
07:49 mtompset so basically, you have a working koha, but if you search for a biblio, it has no items.
07:49 because the items were in a separate file.
07:50 samuel mtompset: yes, that's the situation
07:50 kf samuel: yes, but what are you matching on?
07:50 you need to deifne a matching rule for what you are trying to do
07:50 if you have not set up one, that' sprobably why you can't select the option to match
07:57 samuel i have 995 field in my bibliographic records and 995 field in my items records
07:59 kf hm, I don't think that will work
07:59 you need to pick a field that is indexed
08:00 and it needs to have the same value in both bibliographic and item records
08:00 mtompset 995? UNIMARC?
08:00 kf sorry, I have to go to a meeting
08:01 samuel mtompset: yes
08:02 mtompset Sorry, I have no experience with UNIMARC at all.
08:02 I couldn't help, even if I wanted to. :(
08:04 samuel i understand, don't worry
08:57 paul_p joined #koha
08:58 mtompset If only samuel was here now, you might have been able to help him, paul_p. :)

09:35 jcamins Good morning, #koha.
09:39 magnuse hiya jcamins - another early morning?
09:40 jcamins magnuse: it started pouring and woke me up. Since our blinds are made of paper, I decided to get up and check that the rain wasn't blowing in through the windows.
09:41 Then I was awake.
09:41 kf good morning jcamins
09:41 and go back to sleep ;)
09:42 magnuse quarter to 6? yeah, go back to bed and count bugs or something :-)
09:43 jcamins I went to bed early last night. I got a good 7 hours of sleep.
09:44 drojf joined #koha
09:48 magnuse ok, no reason to not hack koha, then!
09:48 please proceed
09:48 ;-)
09:50 kf heh
09:50 jcamins: yep, you have to upload 2 patches
09:51 jcamins Hehe.
09:51 I'm pruning my git repo.
09:52 I'm down to 100 branches.
09:52 99.
09:54 jenkins_koha Starting build #178 for job Koha_3.8.x (previous build: SUCCESS)
09:57 magnuse sounds dangerous, so early in the morning
09:58 jcamins magnuse: most of the pruning was done last night. This morning I don't particularly feel like finishing the job.
09:59 magnuse heh
10:04 mtompset bug 8780
10:04 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8780 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, mtompset, Needs Signoff , Lower dependency version for DateTime::TimeZone
10:04 mtompset anyone? ;)
10:07 BTW, jcamins, I was checking out debian.packages and it is lacking a few things. Looks like another bug report based on check_deps.sh output again. :)
10:08 jcamins mtompset: there's already a bug.
10:08 chris_n` joined #koha
10:09 jcamins Myshkin does not want his nails trimmed.
10:09 kf you should rethink that plan then
10:10 mtompset which bug?
10:10 7409?
10:10 jcamins bug 7409
10:10 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7409 normal, P5 - low, ---, robin, Needs Signoff , Missing dependencies for Debian package
10:10 jcamins That's one, at least.
10:12 kf one nail?
10:12 jcamins Yup.
10:12 kf oh
10:13 jcamins Two!
10:15 Three.
10:15 mtompset what is this debian/control thing of which I am reading?
10:15 jcamins This is going to take all morning.
10:16 kf if you keep using one hand for typing, probably
10:16 :)
10:19 jcamins I don't know how Shari does it.
10:20 kf probably she is bribing him
10:20 jcamins He just won't keep still.
10:20 kf would you?
10:20 jcamins lol
10:20 Probably not.
10:20 kf see
10:20 maybe invest in a scratching post :)
10:21 or however the correct translation for thos things is
10:21 whatever? whatever.
10:21 drojf don't you have some nice furniture that he could trim his nails on all by himself?
10:21 jcamins We have a scratching post.
10:21 Why do you think he has 20 daggers for evisceration?
10:21 drojf lol
10:22 * kf had to look that up first
10:24 is on Myshkin's sidein this
10:26 jcamins One paw done!
10:26 drojf heh
10:26 wow. don't cut the whole paw!
10:26 jcamins lol
10:27 kf drojf: want to bet on the scratches jcamins will get before paw 2 is done? :)
10:28 jcamins No, Myshkin doesn't scratch.
10:28 He's very good.
10:28 It's just a lot of rolling around on the floor.
10:28 magnuse jcamins: count yourself lucky it's not a puffindog - they have at least 6 toes on each foot :-)
10:28 jcamins The problem is that he likes sitting on my lap, and his claws are so sharp that he draws blood just sitting there.
10:29 kf oh
10:29 ok
10:29 maybe I am persuaded now that this is not a totally bad idea
10:29 drojf magnuse: at least??
10:32 magnuse drojf: sometimes they have 7
10:32 drojf crazy norwegian dogs :)
10:32 magnuse yup :-)
10:32 * magnuse has three
10:33 jcamins At least 72 toes!
10:33 drojf lol
10:33 kf three toes?
10:33 drojf german wikipedia makes it sound like you can fold them together quite nicely
10:34 special neck, special ears, less teeth...
10:34 jcamins Fold... dogs together?
10:34 lol
10:35 drojf Dogs of this breed are able to bend their head backwards along their own spine and turn their forelegs to the side at a 90-degree horizontal angle to their body, much like human arms. Their pricked, upright ears can be folded shut to form a near-tight seal by folding forward or backward.
10:35 jcamins Perfect for traveling. :)
10:36 magnuse yup, pretty perfect allround, in fact :-)
10:36 jcamins: 73, one of them has 7 on one foot
10:36 jcamins There's a cat asleep right where I would like to put my chair.
10:36 Well, exercise ball.
10:40 drojf cats are always one step ahead. they know where you would like to go before you know it. and love to sleep exactly there
10:40 kf yep
10:48 mtompset 72 toes?!
10:49 magnuse 73. on 3 dogs
10:49 mtompset Oh.
10:49 3 dogs.
10:56 kf magnuse: that is a bit weird.

11:09 mtompset Hmmm... jcamins, did you know about debian/list-deps?

14:14 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8293 critical, P1 - high, ---, fridolyn.somers, Pushed to Stable , Software error when clicking on first or last result of each page on OPAC
14:24 jcamins_away gmcharlt: are we seeing that on 3.6.x? I had tried replicating it and did not see it.
14:24 gmcharlt jcamins_away: yes, a customer of ours ran into it, but it was strangely intermittent
14:25 appear to affected only the first hit on the second page of search results
14:25 what's  weird is that the call to searchResults in opac-detail.pl was so broken prior to that fix that it shouldn't have worked at all
14:25 jcamins_away gmcharlt: on 3.6.8? I pushed a patch for that to 3.6.6...
14:26 gmcharlt jcamins_away: the customer was running 3.6.6 when they encountered it
14:27 jcamins_away gmcharlt: I thought it went into 3.6.6. I'll check.
14:29 gmcharlt jcamins_away: ok, I've checked as well - the fix for 7894 didn't make it into 3.6.x until 3.6.7

14:31 jcamins_away That's the one I was thinking of.
14:31 oleonard: the last patch for bug 8597 was not pushed.
14:32 gmcharlt jcamins_away: so looking at this more, I withdrawn my request, or at least lessen it
14:32 8253 *does* fix a problem where the call to searchResults simply has the wrong number of parameters
14:33 but is arguably one without visible effect
14:33 nengard joined #koha
14:34 gmcharlt that said, it still gives me a twitch to have a supported branch with such an errant call :)
14:34 jcamins_away Heh.
14:34 oleonard: the last patch for bug 8597...
14:34 oh, I already said that.
14:35 oleonard Okay. I thought that since it was there it was ready.
14:36 jcamins_away oleonard: it should've been.
14:36 I'm not sure why it wasn't.
14:36 The patch is on the bug.
14:42 * wajasu having good progress with tcohen's koha-common now
14:46 wajasu tcohen: i had success installing koha-common. i want to give it one more run through.  outside of cpan Koha:Contrib::Tamil, i needed libtest-strict-perl and libdevel-cover-perl besides the typical deb pkgs.
14:46 nengard joined #koha
14:47 wajasu tcohen: it brought down my running koha-common services, and brought up the new ones automatically (plus indexer).

16:15 paul_p jcamins_away yep, will deal with it later. Strange, but possible, there were a lot of encoding issues (doubled UTF8) when I applied the patches. What's strange is that I made many tests and saw nothing...
16:16 jcamins_away paul_p: oleonard said it actually came out looking mostly okay, which speaks well of our templates.
16:16 paul_p (in fact, this explain a tiny strange thing I saw in the display: tabs are not looking like tabs)
16:17 oleonard These small things are important! :)
16:17 paul_p oleonard = right ;)

16:23 jcamins_away But I'll get it. :)
16:32 oleonard: ooh, I like the idea of non-javascript-based modifications.
16:33 It'd be easy to do with...
16:33 sortable!
16:33 :D
16:33 oleonard Right, an interface in the staff client where you can check a box next to the choices you want to offer and--sure--sort them too
16:33 jcamins_away :)
16:34 oleonard And why not do the same for the advanced search page?
16:34 * jcamins_away just likes excuses to mention how cool sortable is.
16:34 jcamins_away +inf
16:34 Well- translation.
16:34 If you add an entirely custom field, it's not translatable.
16:34 But I guess that's no different from the way it is now.
16:35 oleonard What do you mean, add an entirely custom field?
16:35 I was thinking the choices would be hard-coded (and thus translatable), but numerous
16:36 jcamins_away Like the way the ANS added "journal title."
16:36 oleonard ...and then when someone came up with a new one we could accept a patch adding the option without rehashing this again
16:37 jcamins_away But if that's not translatable, it's no different than the situation with javascript now.
16:37 (and the standard, non-wtf-y options could be translatable easily enough)
16:38 trea-phone left #koha

16:54 jcamins_away chris_n: I didn't say that *I* was adding the new sortable configuration.

17:27 bornie21 Hey everyone I am trying to host multiple websites on a machine with Koha but upon setting the name based virtual hosts I can access the sites on the physical machine but when I try it on the LAN it resolves to the KOHA Opac page.
17:33 gmcharlt bornie21: does the machine have two network interfaces?
17:33 one possibility is that your vhost definitions are listening on the external interface but not the internal one
17:33 bornie21 No it has one interface
17:34 gmcharlt and if Koha is the default, that would account for the behavior
17:34 bornie21 How do I change it from being the default then
17:36 mveron joined #koha
17:36 mveron Hi #koha
17:39 jcamins_away bornie21: if you change the default, you'll just have a different site showing up. The problem is somewhere in the NameVirtualHost configuration.
17:39 apache2ctl -S may help.
17:41 * jcamins_away would theorize that some of your hosts are not listening on all addresses.
17:41 bornie21 Ok let me run that and see

19:13 cait can we update the license tomorrow? :)
19:14 oleonard Speaking of which, who is going to raise the issue on the list again? mtj?
19:14 cait mj or mtj I think
19:14 or chris_n?
19:14 wahanui release maintainer for 3.2, 3.4, and 3.6. or late on 3.6.5
19:15 rangi Not for a while I hope
19:15 oleonard Not til after 3.12 roles are chosen rangi ?
19:15 rangi After the release at least, hopefully tm is all sorted by then too
19:16 oleonard Ah right the tm. :(
19:16 * oleonard grumbles
19:16 rangi Or it will just derail
19:16 However the gpl 2+
19:17 Allows you to upgrade your copy
19:17 And include bootstrap
19:17 So don't need to wait for testing etc
19:17 oleonard Upgrade your copy?
19:18 tcohen wajasu, r u there?
19:18 rangi You can say this version with bootstrap is gpl3+
19:18 chris_n` joined #koha
19:19 rangi And can distribute for ppl to test
19:20 Just don't release it
19:20 Or call it it version 64644
19:20 Or something
19:21 :-)
19:21 wizzyrea that's awfully pretty oleonard
19:21 wajasu tcohen: yes
19:22 oleonard In other words rangi, I don't have to board up my windows and ready my shotgun while I tinker with Bootstrap
19:22 I can't take any credit wizzyrea, it's all Bootstrap-pretty.
19:23 wizzyrea yes but you put it there :P
19:23 own your awesome, oleonard. :)
19:23 magnuse jcamins_away: which book?
19:26 rangi Yes you can distribute it
19:26 You could always play with it, cos of the +
19:26 tcohen hi wajasu, i've been out on a meeting
19:27 did you succeed?
19:27 wajasu tcohen:i'm just did a fresh debina install, then cpan, then now Koha::Contrib::Tamil   , then doing webinstaller.
19:27 i am trying again, because of an issue.
19:28 the indexer keeps respawning
19:28 rangi But if you note you are distributing under 3 you can share it too
19:29 tcohen what does koha-indexer-output.log say about it?
19:29 * rangi hopes early morning rangi is making sense
19:29 wajasu i'm about to run dpkg. 1 minute
19:30 oleonard rangi I'm pretty slow with license stuff, so I'm sure I'll have to ask again
19:30 tcohen what the question is?
19:30 wahanui i guess the question is "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?"
19:31 mbalmer 42
19:31 tcohen wahanui: 42
19:31 wahanui tcohen: i'm not following you...
19:31 mbalmer 42, and, PostgreSQL
19:31 and going to sleep ;)
19:32 tcohen we are having two FOSS licence specialists to speak at UNC next friday
19:32 if it helps...
19:34 wajasu tcohen: dpkg installs and restart the zebra and adds the indexer.  the koha-indexer-output.log is empty, and the koha-indexer-error.log  kicks out: client (pid 15476) exited with 1 status  (so its the daemon that logs and it tries every 30 seconds.
19:35 tcohen so, it is not working for u?
19:35 i've had it running on my dev workstation since our last chat
19:36 wajasu right.  i can't figure it out.  i don't have any superflous KOHA_CONF or PERL5LIB configured.
19:36 tcohen are the tables created¿
19:37 wajasu remind me the name
19:37 tcohen zebraqueue?
19:37 wahanui it has been said that zebraqueue is cleared when zebra reindexes (I expect), so you'll miss changes.
19:38 wajasu yes it their and empty.
19:38 thre
19:38 there
19:39 chris_n` joined #koha
19:40 tcohen my koha-indexer-error.log is empty
19:40 wajasu now when i install Koha::Contrib::Tamil, i ran it twice so some deps were available from the first run and it succeeded.  i did not have the KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB configured during the Koha::Config::Tamil module this time, thought i tried that in a prior effort.
19:41 it must have to do with the Tamil module.  let me see.
19:41 tcohen yes, you need to have Koha::Contrib::Tamil before running the daemon (which is triggered when you create an instance)
19:43 * wajasu trying to reinstall the Koha::Contrib::Tamil    its GPL3 you know :)
19:44 wajasu do I need Koha::Contrib::Indexer as well?  maybe thats it
19:45 rangi Yep can't include with Koha for distribution
19:45 wajasu Koha::Contrib::Tamil::IndexerDaemon
19:45 rangi But you can get it from clan
19:45 Cpan
19:46 tcohen If you cpan Koha::Contrib::Tamil it installs the IndexDaemon stuff
19:46 wajasu got it from cpan
19:46 ok just checking
19:46 tcohen I hope eythian packages it as a .deb in koha's repo
19:46 bug 8774
19:47 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8774 major, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , make a deb package of Koha::Contrib::Tamil::IndexerDaemon
19:47 rangi Probably cant
19:47 tcohen wajasu, you're using the latest koha-common*.deb from http://es.koha-community.org/kc_files/, right?
19:48 wajasu yes.  i saw your update.  even downloaded today.
19:48 rangi Maybe a Sep repo to make it clear its not part of kohs
19:48 Koha
19:48 tcohen oh, that's the thing about that libs...
19:50 if i had known..
19:51 chris_n yoyo internet... gotta love it
19:53 rangi Hehe
19:54 wajasu rangi:  i started think we could just implement the smae thing with plack.  i have another idea too: when we write zebraqueue, we touch a file in a directory, and have lib notify call a zebraindex script.
19:55 rangi There's a zillion ways to do it.bigger fish to fry at the moment
19:55 wajasu yup
19:56 rangi Once the search rewrite is done
19:56 Could be worth revisiting
19:56 cait .. which is agood moment to point out it still needs funding maybe
19:56 *hint* :)
19:57 * wizzyrea provides nudging
19:57 rangi I wonder if we can get an update in the newsletter
19:57 cait about the current status of fnding?
19:58 rangi Yeah

19:58 * cait summons jcamins to tell him he should do that

20:01 rangi My stop someone paste the link bbiab
20:01 cait wajasu: not for solr, but woudl be a good foundation for better solr integration I tihnk
20:02 search rewrite?

20:48 maybe
20:48 and I am really glad if it gets fixed

20:52 wajasu rangi: were you serious about not being able to take gpl3 code?  or is anything in cpan OK even if it says it gpl3?  i am wondering if i should continue debugging Koha::Contrib::Tamil with tcohen
20:53 i am realizeing feature freeze is just 4 days away.
20:54 rangi wajasu: that's not part of koha, its a sep thing, so debugging is fine
20:54 jenkins_koha Starting build #840 for job Koha_master (previous build: STILL UNSTABLE -- last SUCCESS #773 2 mo 16 days ago)
20:54 rangi we can't bundle it with, and distribute the whole thing as gpl2 tho
20:54 wajasu i think thats what he was expecting.
20:54 rangi so it needs to stay separate unless we want to distribute as gpl3
20:55 which isnt a decision we can make now
20:56 wajasu if its separate i don't see it being worth testing time, since he can run it inhouse without being part of koha.
20:57 plus, it got Moose and firends, which is a hefty.
20:57 tcohen wajasu, what is worth testing is the patch for bug 8773 i think
20:57 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8773 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, tomascohen, Needs Signoff , Add per-instance koha-index-daemon in .deb setup
20:57 rangi you can run inhouse
20:57 you can't distribute
20:57 there is a difference
20:57 the gpl2+ clause
20:58 lets him have his own version being 3, he can even then distribute it as 3 if he wants
20:58 it says
20:58 # Koha is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the
20:58 # terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
20:58 # Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
20:58 # version.
20:58 what we can't do, is bundle it in our release and try to distribute the release as gpl2+
20:58 quite different things
20:59 but its entirely legal for me to get koha
20:59 then get the indexer
20:59 and run them both
20:59 tcohen rangi, could we provide (as gpl3) a .deb package for koah::contrib::tamil and use it from that scripts of bug 8773
20:59 ?
20:59 rangi yep
21:00 however its not going to make it for 3.10
21:00 wajasu does he really need to integrate with koha-common?
21:00 rangi so best to wait, then discuss licensing after the release and aim for koha being gpl3+ for 3.12
21:00 imho
21:00 of course its free software, anyone can do whatever they want within the license conditions :)
21:01 wajasu would he ever replace koha-common?  or should he just make it more of a bolt-on?
21:02 tcohen bolt-on?
21:02 wajasu a separate daemon, with its own lifecyle that reads from zebraqueue
21:03 tcohen all this non-existent zebraqueue daemon is non-sense IMHO
21:03 wajasu if you embed you script in koha-common, who is to say, your deb won't have all that robin's has.
21:05 tcohen the daemon scripts need to be release-dependent, and hence not a separate thing
21:08 wajasu i agree.
21:09 santy_ hello again everyone! I was able to convince my client to set up another vm on which to install koha, so now it's up to me to decide which OS to use.  I have been told to use debian.  If the goal is to set up a production server with about 500000 biblios and the need for the zebra z39.50 server, which combination of debian/koha versions would you recommend?
21:10 tcohen i did that. and abandoned those patches when i was told of the existence of fredericd's scripts
21:10 this is just another iteration of the same story, now trying to make it easy to include those scripts in koha
21:12 wajasu so tcohen. if its not going into 3.10, there is time. i guess i need to shift to other efforts.  i totally understand what you are saying.
21:13 tcohen wajasu, i'm fine with that. i know i did my part :-D
21:14 wajasu you surely did.  i love the feature, its sped up my testing.
21:14 libsysguy santy_: I would suggest debian squeeze with koha 3.6
21:14 cait hi libsysguy :)
21:14 libsysguy we have had quite a bit of trouble with 3.8.x branches
21:14 hey cait
21:14 whatcha up to
21:14 rangi otoh i have clients running 3.8.4
21:14 with no issues
21:15 libsysguy the issue that I am aware of with 3.8.4 is with hourly loans
21:15 wajasu i did just provide a patch for the overdue_notices for 3.8.x
21:15 tcohen we had to apply some of colin's patches for dates/calendars to get 3.8.x work flawlessly
21:15 libsysguy so santy_ if you're not worried about that then go with 3.8
21:15 rangi tcohen: they are all in 3.8.x now the last of them just added so will all be in 3.8.5 most were in 3.8.4
21:16 tcohen nice rangi
21:16 so, i'd say Ubuntu 12.04 (:-P) with 3.8.5 as soon as they land
21:17 rangi id strongly advise debian squeeze over ubuntu
21:17 ubuntu 12.04 ships with mysql anonymous logins
21:18 ymmv
21:18 santy_ why debian squeeze over ubuntu 12.04?
21:18 rangi read above
21:18 tcohen rangi, i haven't noticed that
21:19 rangi ahh well you should look, it does, it broke packaging we had to add a patch to get round it
21:19 tcohen ah, you mean that dpkg has access to mysql?
21:20 rangi no
21:21 http://www.sitepoint.com/ubunt[…]ing-mysql-server/
21:21 By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
21:21 to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
21:21 them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
21:21 go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
21:21 production environment.
21:21 no one reads tht bit
21:21 :)
21:22 magnuse gah! found the culprit that was eating my swap space: zebra
21:23 stopped and started all my zebras and swap usage fell dramatically
21:24 santy_ ok in terms of security ubuntu 1204 (w/o anonymous logins) and debian squeeze are both ok
21:24 tcohen rangi, read it, but cannot figure how to test to see if its true
21:24 * magnuse calls it a day
21:24 rangi its true
21:25 http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2[…]curity-mysql.html
21:26 santy_ what about support?... mtompset says there is a greater chance to get things solved on pure debian
21:26 as far as I understood
21:27 tcohen ubuntu is a debian derivative, backed by Canonical
21:27 ubuntu relies on debian's development
21:27 we use ubuntu in our datacenter, because Canonical is focused
21:28 cait magnuse: good night!
21:28 tcohen on providing smooth integration with cloud-oriented tools
21:28 cait and good night #koha :)
21:29 tcohen santy_, what you mean by support?
21:31 santy_ by support I mean the speed knowledge is gained by the supporters... is koha being improved, tested and fixed on debian first?
21:33 tcohen debian
21:33 rangi sorry triying to diagnose hardware via phone
21:34 tcohen if that's the parameter that makes your choice, then go for debian
21:34 santy_ ok, so it is more likely that a patch will be available on debian quicker
21:35 tcohen not sure
21:35 there is no ubuntu-specific package or something
21:35 cait left #koha
21:35 tcohen squeeze and precise are almost binary identical...
21:35 in fact, you will use the same packages on both
21:37 (the same repos, etc)
21:37 santy_ I am considering the following factors: security, performance, support, stability, documentation, setup
21:37 tcohen i think its a matter of taste
21:38 i'd say ubuntu has official docs, and commercial support if you want it
21:38 i love debian
21:39 and work on a ubuntu environment, and feel comfortable
21:41 santy_ well the proof of concept i did setup was on ubuntu natty.  Things worked out pretty smoothly (koha 3.8).  I have not tried the zebra z39.50 server yet though, or checked out the hourly loans
21:41 tcohen for a server, stick to LTS releases
21:41 lamiette joined #koha
21:42 tcohen (5 year support)
21:42 it makes you have enough time to design you OS upgrade steps
21:43 18 months its less than you belive
21:43 santy_ how about the debian koha packages? are they more up-to-date than ubuntus?
21:43 tcohen the only koha packages are those from debian.koha-community.org
21:44 you use them for both OS's
21:44 (distros)
21:44 they ARE the same
21:44 santy_ ok
21:46 tcohen here https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/index.html you can get instructions for most common things
21:47 i recommend you see the ufw (firewall) instructions if going production
21:48 it works on debian too
21:48 NateC left #koha
21:49 santy_ I think I'll go for ubuntu 12.04+koha 3.8.5
21:50 just because i'm more familiar with ubuntu and your suggestions about upgrading
21:51 tcohen no no, don't do it
21:51 debianers on this IRC will hate me :-D
21:51 santy_ lol
21:52 I understand debian or ubuntu are both feasible alternatives for a koha production server with full functionality
21:53 tcohen in my university, we are pleased to use them both
21:53 we also use CentOS, OpenSuSE and Debian
21:54 but are moving towards Ubuntu in the mid-term
21:55 santy_ I was strongly suggested not to install koha on centos 5.8 today
21:56 tcohen santy_ don't
21:56 on 6.3 we can speak
21:57 santy_ ok 6.3... there is even a howto
21:57 tcohen i was just listing what we have in our infrastructure
21:57 we have koha on Ubuntu
21:58 (both the apache front-ends and separate mysl cluster)

22:00 wajasu sweet
22:02 santy_ Do you know a good guide to estimate disk space and ram requirements for koha? I have searched but did not find
22:03 it in the koha docs nor the wiki (might be mistaken)
22:05 tcohen it depends on the amount of records you have
22:05 santy_ there will be about 500000
22:05 tcohen and the mysql server will be on the same hardware?
22:06 santy_ yes... one virtualized server for everything
22:07 maximep left #koha
22:07 tcohen you should consider that your DB will be 1.5GB or 2GB (raw disk space)
22:08 bag freeze?
22:08 tcohen and you'd want to have it in RAM
22:08 bag heh just checking to see if wahanui had a definition
22:08 tcohen (tuned mysql)
22:08 so, I'd say 4GB RAM and 3 or more cores
22:09 zebra indexes might take 40GB
22:09 so 120GB HD?
22:09 santy_ 40 GB?
22:11 tcohen a 50K registers DB takes 2GB (checking right now)
22:11 santy_ hmm I don't know... but I recall having set up the zebra indexes tables to run on myisam instead of innodb to avoid transactional data to pile up, those 40GB are taking that into account?
22:11 tcohen nope
22:12 zebra is a separate full-text indexing DB
22:12 you're mixing with zebraqueue table
22:12 santy_ oh ok
22:12 tcohen which is always busy but its content disposable
22:12 santy_ understand
22:13 of course indexing every word occurrence in a separate dbms, right?
22:13 tcohen that's what zebra does
22:14 zebra's indexes are fat
22:14 those are the ones I say might eat 40GB easily
22:14 rangi disk is cheap
22:14 get lots
22:15 Ive never heard someone say, 'oh damn, I got too much disk"
22:15 santy_ ok.. as for the zebraqueue tables... has that issue been resolved for 3.8.5?
22:15 tcohen hehe
22:15 santy_ :)
22:16 (your right... gonna recommend 250 gb disk)
22:16 tcohen that's not what our sysadmins told me when I got a LUN on the storage server with 30TB of free space for
22:16 some scans :-D
22:16 rangi *sigh*
22:17 http://jenkins.koha-community.[…]Build/testReport/
22:17 tcohen 10GB average each book
22:17 * rangi fixes some
22:17 santy_ 10GB thats a lot
22:18 jcamins_away rangi: does jenkins not automatically run updatedatabase?
22:19 rangi oh those ones im not worried about
22:19 it was the pod tets
22:19 test
22:19 jcamins_away Yeah, I know which one is worrying. :)
22:19 jcamins I just can't figure out why those are showing up.
22:19 rangi and the one that has been there for 3 months
22:19 tcohen yes santy_, they are master copies of jesuitic material
22:22 santy_ yea too valuable to let time damage it further
22:22 jcamins santy_: run the cron job that truncates zebraqueue every day.
22:22 santy_ tcohen, do you know about that zebraqueue tables getting big problem? ist it fixed?
22:23 ok cron job
22:23 wahanui i think cron job is only needed for *new* records.
22:23 santy_ just cron job truncating or also changing table engine to myisam?
22:24 jcamins santy_: I thought it defaulted to MyISAM, but just truncating daily should be fine.
22:24 santy_ cool tip
22:24 thanks a lot to every one!
22:24 tcohen take a look at the script
22:25 bin/cronjobs/cleanup_database.pl
22:25 jcamins Also, use memcached for sessions.
22:25 tcohen and the example usage in bin/cronjobs/crontab.example
22:25 (both distributed with koha)
22:27 santy_ I will, I promise you, I will

22:32 rangi sheesh i hate hardware
22:33 jcamins rangi: I guess you've run into some problems with the hardware at Te Tekare?
22:33 rangi nothing insoluble
22:34 just annoying
22:38 when you scan your card koha sends a message
22:38 that includes how much you owe
22:38 say $2
22:38 the selfcheck machine sees this as fines
22:39 then if i issue a rental item that costs $2
22:39 in the checkout message we send BV2.00
22:39 the self check goes oh, this cost $2
22:39 all good so far right
22:39 jcamins Yup.
22:39 rangi except, you finish and print a slip
22:39 you get 2 lines
22:39 Total fines $2
22:40 Total fees $2
22:40 martian523 joined #koha
22:40 rangi ppl go wtf
22:40 martian523 hi, i have run across some problems when searching through the catalog
22:40 rangi do i owe $2 or $4
22:40 whats the diff
22:40 etc
22:40 so im gonna try to get it saying $total owing $4
22:41 with less $
22:41 jcamins Makes sense.
22:42 martian523 i have chinese books in my catalog with chinese title and the transliteration title.  when i click on the chinese title, it shows error 404 came up, but when i clicked on the the transliterated title, it's ok
22:42 what is this error 404?
22:43 rangi is the url the same for both?
22:43 martian523 An error has occurred! Error 404 This error means that the link was broken and that the page doesn't exist To report this error, you can email the Koha administrator. Use top menu bar to navigate to another part of Koha.
22:44 one is opac, and one is catalogue, i guess there's a difference?
22:46 rangi yes, what are the biblionumbers?
22:47 martian523 biblionumbers are the same
22:48 rangi one must be a bad url then, what are the actual urls?
22:48 where are you from martian523 ?
22:50 martian523 me? from CA
22:51 rangi cool, just being nosey
22:51 santy_ oh, one question... when will the date/calendar fix be available (version 3.8.5)?
22:51 martian523 the link that has error 404 is http://192.168.1.127:8080/cgi-[…]iblionumber=22259
22:52 the link that works is http://192.168.1.127:8080/cgi-[…]iblionumber=22259
22:53 rangi no idea then im afraid
22:53 martian523 i just see one difference
22:53 opac-detail.pl and catalogue/detail.pl
22:54 - vs /
22:55 jcamins Try turning off XSLT for the search results.
22:55 In the staff client only.
22:55 And what version are you using?
22:56 martian523 3.8.3
22:58 jcamins Yes, turning off the XSLT will fix your problem.
22:58 martian523 what is xslt again?
22:59 jcamins Among other things, it's controlled by a syspref.
22:59 XSLTResultsDisplay, I think, is what it's called.
23:02 martian523 ok...fix that
23:02 now i think i'm going back to a problem that i've asked before
23:03 i have entered the transliterated title in 245, and the chinese title in 880
23:03 santy_ I have to install koha by next week, should I wait for the 3.8.5 release or just go with 3.8.4?
23:03 jcamins santy_: 3.8.4 it is, since 3.8.5 isn't coming out until the end of the week. :P
23:04 martian523 when i searched the catalog, only the transliterated title shows up, and not the chinese title
23:04 rangi you aren't going into production next week are u?
23:04 jcamins santy_: however, the upgrade is easy.
23:04 rangi: oh my. What an awful thought.
23:04 santy_ ok great
23:04 martian523 what i prefer is to have the chinese title show up instead of the transliterated title
23:04 is there a way to fix that?
23:05 jcamins martian523: not without development work, no.
23:05 santy_ I was comparing the instalation guides of debian squeeze and ubuntu LTS... why is ubuntuses guide so much longer?
23:05 rangi santy_: you should only install from the packages for production/testing .. and git for development
23:06 jcamins santy_: because the person who wrote the Ubuntu guide liked detail.
23:06 martian523 so if i want the chinese title to show up, i would be better off putting the chinese title in the 245 field?
23:06 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian <-- follow that
23:06 it works for ubuntu too
23:06 jcamins ^^ that's the one to follow
23:06 santy_ ok ok got it
23:06 great
23:06 thx
23:10 papa joined #koha
23:16 santy_ do you know about any issues for koha running on an operating system (ubuntu) that has a language different than english?
23:17 jcamins santy_: you'll have to translate any error messages you want to ask about.
23:18 santy_ lol good point
23:18 jcamins That said, if you follow the instructions that rangi pointed to, you won't run into any errors that matter.
23:18 (and probably none at all)
23:18 Just make sure you use a UTF-8 locale.
23:19 santy_ ok jcamins
