05:01 Manderson Pardon my ignorance, but if a bibliographic record gets stuck in the 'reservoir', how do I get it out and in to the catalog?
05:02 eythian when cataloguing, you can search the reservoir I think.
05:02 So you catalogue based on that record, and when you save it, it'll be in the catalogue.
05:02 Alternately, if it's there as part of a staged MARC file, you can import it through the interface for sorting that stuff
05:03 (which is under "Tools")
05:16 mtj sheesh, i just spotted a tweet from liblime about a solr commit they've pushed, 60 days ago...

06:46 rangi wb wizzyrea
06:46 wizzyrea ty hi
06:46 rangi hey magnuse howd your conf go?
06:46 magnuse good!
06:46 lots of positive response
06:46 rangi i saw a blog post, it looked like people enjoyed it
06:46 excellent
06:46 magnuse no definitive new customers yet of course, but i keep my fingers crossed
06:47 cait did a great job talking about koha worldwide of course
06:47 rangi excellent :)
06:48 magnuse and i was reminded that i never really figured out how to use authorities with normarc in koha...
06:48 which was kind of bad, 'cause oslo public library was really wondering about that...
06:48 rangi ahhh
06:49 jcamins probably can help with that
06:49 magnuse yeah, that was my first thought too :-)
06:49 normarc does not have a "framework" for authorities, so i'm thinking i have to steal the one from marc21 and see if that works
06:50 rangi yeah
06:50 magnuse i guess you saw this? http://buskerud.fylkesbibl.no/[…]teksystemet-koha/ - published at the end of the day by one of the attendees. yay!
06:50 rangi sounds like a plan
06:50 yep good write up

08:18 wizzyrea good stuff :)
08:19 magnuse is there a way to not show the names of all the libraries that have the book in the results list?
08:19 just show "15 copies available" or something?
08:29 paul_p joined #koha
08:30 magnuse nah, doesn't look like it is possible at the moment, but that it should be an easy enh

10:29 vfernandes joined #koha
10:30 vfernandes hi guys :)
10:32 anyone had sucessfully updated a koha 2.2.X to 3.8?
10:32 which could be the best way?
10:41 slef vfernandes: export catalogue, import again
10:44 vfernandes the client wants to mantain the circulation history
10:44 so a new migration is the last option...
10:45 if I install the 3.0 the database isn't updated?
10:46 slef could see how much the history tables have changed but I suspect at least you'd want to step via 3.0, then to 3.8 running the special 3.4 item-splitter.
10:46 vfernandes http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Upgrading_2.2
10:47 i'm seeing this page to update 2.2 to 3.0
10:47 then I've to update to 3.8
10:47 It will be a hard proccess
10:53 thanks slef
10:54 slef vfernandes: no worries. Good luck!
10:56 vfernandes i'll need it eheheh

13:16 chris_n i've other patches for release tools ;-)
13:16 francharb` joined #koha
13:16 paul_p does someone know a perl library to store permanently the content of a variable on the disk & recover it quickly ?
13:18 Storable...
13:18 wahanui hmmm... storable is yellow and Graphics::Magick
13:23 magnuse paul_p: use YAML?
13:23 libsysguy storable serializes the variable
13:24 err object
13:24 paul_p magnuse = Storable is what I need
13:24 magnuse okelydokely :-)
13:25 oleonard joined #koha
13:27 oleonard Hi #koha

13:28 libsysguy oleonard! I was just thinking about you
13:29 oleonard Aw, that's very sweet
13:29 libsysguy heh
13:29 indeed it is
13:29 sweet sprinkled with javascript
13:30 I was uisng HTTP::Recorder and HTTP::Proxy to autogen WWW::Mechanize scripts but it disables javascript
13:30 paul_p good morning oleonard ( oleonard from OH, the US state we speak once every four years in France ;-) )
13:30 libsysguy and it is hard to navigate
13:30 its not just france paul_p
13:31 paul_p libsysguy = probably, but I just listen french news ;-)
13:31 libsysguy spoken like a true frenchman :p
13:35 paul_p libsysguy :p :p
13:36 libsysguy is "I only listen french news" better ?
13:36 NateC joined #koha
13:38 libsysguy heh paul_p I just have this image of a tall slender guy smoking a cig at all times as you
13:38 edveal joined #koha
13:38 paul_p libsysguy me smoking a cig ? definetely not me !!!!
13:39 oleonard He got the tall part at least :)
13:39 libsysguy hehe I just assumed all french men smoked ;)
13:40 oleonard chris_n around?
13:40 @later tell chris_n Could you take a look at Bug 9017? Not sure what the best solution is.
13:40 huginn oleonard: The operation succeeded.
13:42 oleonard The description of Bug 9029 sounds like the behavior I would expect
13:42 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9029 normal, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , location switches under certain time-out conditions
13:53 talljoy joined #koha
14:05 chris_n paul_p: patches pushed
14:05 oleonard: looking
14:05 paul_p chris_n = new ones coming soon :D
14:05 chris_n cool
14:05 full-automation++
14:13 oleonard: iirc the extension imposed some limitations on DT which I could not work around
14:15 I'll look at it a bit more once I get my dev foo back up and working today
14:15 oleonard If you think mveron's solution is the best one, please add a comment and remove "failed qa" (or sign off). I just hoped we could do it the "right" way
14:15 chris_n k
14:16 I attempted to ensure translation would work, so we should be able to fix it one way or another
14:17 jcamins_away paul_p++
14:26 jcamins paul_p: around?
14:26 paul_p jcamins yep
14:27 jcamins paul_p: there was a reason for the -s in the T::T tags.
14:27 They remove excess whitespace.
14:27 paul_p really ? unknown feature from me ! how does it work ?
14:27 (because sometimes it's at the beginning, sometimes at the end)
14:28 jcamins [%- removes excess whitespace before the tag.
14:28 -%] removes excess whitespace after the tag.
14:28 paul_p OK, i'll reintroduce them quickly
14:29 jcamins If you want I can do that.
14:29 chris_n so do we need a test suite for the release tools? ;-)
14:29 jcamins I have some additional patches to push to my release-tool.pl script.

14:31 oleonard Hi fudm
14:31 fudm we just installed Koha for use as an E-library tool
14:31 Hi oleonard
14:31 We are presently having challenges with the indexing
14:32 indexing i mean client having access to catalogued items
14:33 Installation was successful and we have cataloged some few items
14:33 any advice on way out
14:34 jcamins paul_p: I will add the missing '-'s, since I have push access.
14:34 And we can ask gmcharlt to give you push access to release-tools later.
14:34 faq?
14:34 wahanui i think faq is found at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
14:34 jcamins fudm: ^^ the FAQ has troubleshooting information.
14:34 second question?
14:34 wahanui rumour has it second question is "What is the exact error message?"
14:34 fudm oleanard: read somethings about Zebra indexing, which i followed the instructions while installing Koha
14:34 jcamins No, not that question.
14:35 Third question?
14:35 wahanui it has been said that Third question is "What version of Koha are you using?" http://koha-community.org/faq/[…]ion-koha-running/
14:35 jcamins That question.
14:35 :)
14:35 fudm but still same error
14:35 No results match your search for 'kw,wrdl: chemistry' in Federal University,Dutsin-ma.Library Catalog.
14:35 jcamins Yeah, I didn't mean to ask the second question. I wanted the third question.
14:36 fudm anyone helping out please
14:36 jcamins fudm: what version of Koha are you using?
14:37 I also pointed you to a FAQ.
14:37 fudm am using 3.08.06 on Ubuntu 11.10
14:37 jcamins How did you install Koha?
14:38 chris_n paul_p: you should be able to push to the release tool repo now
14:38 jcamins paul_p: I can still add the missing '-'s since I already started on it.
14:40 chris_n we'll just have to be careful that we don't have a git collision :-)
14:40 jcamins Right.
14:40 maximep joined #koha
14:41 * chris_n wonders if we should be doing pulls and pushes rather than rebase with that repo
14:42 jcamins chris_n: yes, except for when we forget to push patches, in which case we need to rebase our local changes on master.
14:42 chris_n right
14:43 fudm joined #koha
14:43 fudm i lost connection
14:44 jcamins fudm: how did you install Koha? Packages?
14:45 paul_p jcamins = probable git collision. please wait until I push my current patch
14:45 fudm :jcamins: I installed all over the internet
14:46 :jcamins: i followed instructions found on koha wiki site
14:46 jcamins fudm: which instructions?
14:46 paul_p: okay, let me know when you've done that.
14:46 fudm :jcamins: installing Koha on Ubuntu 11.10
14:47 paul_p does someone know how to / what define the terminal width ?
14:47 fudm :jcamins: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Ubuntu
14:47 paul_p my script retrieve bugzilla comments in 80 char size, that's not what I'm expecting...
14:47 jcamins paul_p: I do not, sorry.
14:48 fudm: did you use packages or tarball?
14:49 fudm :jcamins: packages
14:49 wahanui well, packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
14:49 paul_p and the answer is = stty cols 80
14:49 fudm :jcamins:packages i assume! i dont know the diff between packages and tarball
14:50 jcamins fudm: did you download a file called "koha-3.08.06.tar.gz"?
14:50 If you did, you used the tarball.
14:50 fudm :jcamins:yes i downloaded that
14:50 jcamins That's unfortunate.
14:51 You need to set up your cron jobs.
14:51 And make sure you've started Zebra.
14:51 fudm :jcamins: i got the tar.gz file using "wget http://download.koha-community[…]oha-latest.tar.gz"
14:51 jcamins Did you work your way through the FAQ on this problemt hat I sent you?
14:51 Yeah, definitely tarball.
14:52 fudm :jcamins: sorry, was the faq for me?
14:52 jcamins Yes.
14:52 faq?
14:52 wahanui faq is found at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
14:52 jcamins The very last question addresses this.
14:53 fudm :jcamins: i followed this to create a cron job during koha installation "5 - Setup Zebra Server to Automatically Start on Boot Up   $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults $ sudo /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon start"
14:53 jcamins That has nothing to do with cron.
14:53 That's setting up Zebra to run when the system starts.
14:53 Which is also important.
14:53 wahanui okay, jcamins.
14:53 jcamins which?
14:53 wahanui i guess which is important.
14:53 jcamins wahanui: forget which
14:53 wahanui jcamins: I forgot which
14:54 oleonard wahanui: Who is on first
14:54 wahanui no idea, oleonard
14:54 fudm :jcamins: ok, so how do i go about the cron job
14:54 oleonard dang
14:54 jcamins wahanui: \Who \is on first is I don't know.
14:54 wahanui OK, jcamins.
14:54 jcamins who is on first?
14:54 who is on first
14:54 Who is on first
14:54 Oh well.
14:55 fudm :jcamins: the cron job; how do i go about it pls
14:55 jcamins fudm: you do understand that I'm doing this for free, right?
14:55 gaetan_B joined #koha
14:55 fudm :jcamins:yes i do, i really appreciate the assistance
14:56 jcamins Okay. Patience is appreciated when you are receiving gratis help.
14:56 fudm :jcamins: Ok
14:56 Manderson Hi all - I am still trying to figure out how to get bib items into my catalog. They get stuck in the reservoir, and seem to stay there. Any ideas?
14:56 jcamins fudm: the first thing to do is start Zebra: `sudo service koha-zebra-daemon start`
14:57 Then, you'll rebuild Zebra as described in the FAQ.
14:57 maximep left #koha
14:57 fudm :jcamins: ok
14:58 :jcamins: i just started the zebra service
15:00 jcamins So now you're going to set your PERL5LIB and KOHA_CONF variables and run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r -v
15:00 I'm not 100
15:01 % sure where that script is, but you can find it.
15:01 fudm :jcamins: how pls
15:01 maximep joined #koha
15:02 fudm :jcamins: using this "export PERL5LIB=/path/to/your/koha/"
15:02 jcamins Right.
15:02 Changing the path to where Koha is installed.
15:03 And `export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha_conf.xml`
15:03 fudm :jcamins: am presently searching for the PERL5LIB
15:03 jcamins You'll find all this in the instructions, too.
15:04 fudm :jcamins: ok, let me follow the instructions then revert back to you
15:04 jcamins I believe it is `export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha`
15:05 fudm :jcamins: am i just to "run export PERL5LIB=/usr/kohalocation" from the terminal(cmd lin)
15:06 jcamins Right.
15:11 fudm :jcamins:ok, i ran the instructions but i cant see any response
15:11 jcamins Including rebuild_zebra?
15:11 fudm :jcamins: ok, i ran the instructions but i cant see any response
15:11 jcamins The export commands do not give any output.
15:11 fudm ok
15:11 :jcamins: ok
15:12 jcamins You don't need to preface my nick to every statement. Since we're the only ones talking, I'll be able to follow.
15:12 fudm ok
15:13 am i to run this export KOHA_.... from the unzipped koha3.0806 folder?
15:13 jcamins BTW, for those who were concerned, the snow was not nearly as bad as I was anticipating. Just a couple of inches at most.
15:13 It doesn't matter what folder you run it from.
15:13 However, you should be using the folders where Koha was installed, not the folder where you unzipped Koha.
15:15 fudm ok, that is the "usr/share/koha" right?
15:15 jcamins I think so.
15:16 I don't use the tarball for installing.

15:16 slef hey don't kill me!
15:21 magnuse hm, was it a typo or wasn't it a typo?
15:22 mtj you know what our problem is?
15:22 this page should aggressively recommend using the koha packages for beginner installs -> http://koha-community.org/download-koha
15:22 … its the first mistake, that n00bs make, when installing koha
15:23 jcamins mtj: agreed.
15:23 magnuse +1
15:25 mtj i suggest a hottt-pink flashing marquee bold italic banner '---===use the packages====---', and a midi tune of super-mario theme music
15:25 jcamins lol
15:26 I suggest that if you do that I will sick the Reas on you.
15:26 And they are all very, very tall so you don't want that.
15:27 mtj ^^ ill ask liz about it, next time i see her
15:27 jcamins Oh, I think I can edit downloads.k-c.org.
15:28 If you'd like to e-mail the lists to make sure people agree?
15:29 mtj *and* that very same suggestion on -> http://download.koha-community.org, too
15:29 jcamins, yep - will do
15:30 slef careful not to alienate the non-debs
15:30 jcamins I think it's more important on download.k-c.org, actually.
15:30 slef also should promote the livecd for newbies too
15:30 jcamins slef: first there needs to be a new LiveCD.
15:30 oleonard <crickets>
15:30 jcamins Right now the most up-to-date LiveCD is... not new.
15:30 mtj and google-groups - to share our stories...
15:30 slef jcamins: nah, olderversions are ok for first tries IMO
15:31 * slef goes to get mtj's leg bone
15:31 jcamins slef: I disagree. There is no upgrade path from them.
15:31 slef jcamins: so write that there.  "Try this out. Don't use it for real sites." or something
15:31 "real sites because the upgrade path is not good/there"
15:32 jcamins That's the plan, and the reason we have a LiveCD manager.
15:32 slef JFDI
15:32 * jcamins isn't creating a livecd.
15:32 slef It's already there, people already use them, let's at least tell them the score.
15:32 jcamins And I'm not encouraging anyone to use a misconfigured version of Koha that's six months old.
15:33 *I* am the one who is on #koha when they show up and ask why it's broken who is dumb enough to try to help.
15:34 Regarding non-Debian distros, I think a note like "If you are using a deb-based distro (for example, Debian or Ubuntu), you are strongly encouraged to use the packages for production installations, since the packages automatically handle a lot of the inconvenient configuration."
15:36 slef that's ok
15:36 mtj i think we all want less n00bs having koha problems, caused by bad install decisions
15:37 … that we then have to help fix :/
15:38 theres much good info about install stuff on the wiki, but many people never even get that far - it seems…
15:38 jcamins @later tell rangi I think awstats on download.k-c.org is misconfigured. One unique visitor per month since June seems improbable.
15:38 huginn jcamins: The operation succeeded.
15:39 caser joined #koha
15:40 caser Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone!
15:40 mtj … i think if we just improve the info on 'koha-community.org/download-koha' & 'download.koha-community.org', we can fix that
15:41 oleonard Hi caser
15:41 jcamins mtj: and remove links from the wiki directly to tarball files?
15:41 (I'm not sure if there are any)
15:42 Manderson: in answer to your question much earlier, when you save a record it should go into the catalog. Most likely the problem is that you don't have the rebuild_zebra cronjobs running.
15:42 mtj jcamins, nor me, either
15:42 hey caser
15:45 caser We recently used a script to delete records without items, and while the records are indeed no longer existent, they are still showing up in search results in the OPAC.  When you try to pull up the record from the search results, you get an error message.
15:45 magnuse jcamins or anyone else know a handy set of marc21 authority records for testing?
15:45 oleonard Where are the "installing Koha on Ubuntu 11.10" instructions fudm referred to?
15:45 caser Anyone know why/how the title is still coming up in the search result, even though the record has been deleted?
15:45 jcamins oleonard: see Koha_on_Ubuntu on the wiki.
15:45 caser: yes, you need to rebuild your indexes.
15:45 magnuse oleonard: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Ubuntu
15:46 jcamins Run `rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r -v`
15:46 * oleonard replaces jcamins with a bot that replies "rebuild your indexes"
15:46 jcamins help?
15:46 wahanui i think help is at http://koha-community.org/support/ if no-one here can help.
15:46 jcamins Humbug.
15:46 problem?
15:46 wahanui i heard problem was its human beings doing it or that grub was nudged to the emergency holographic shell
15:46 jcamins forget problem
15:46 wahanui jcamins: I forgot problem
15:46 jcamins Problem was it's human beings doing it. Rebuild your indexes.
15:46 magnuse excuse?
15:46 wahanui magnuse: Just pick up the phone and give modem connect sounds. "Well you said we should get more lines so we don't have voice lines."
15:47 jcamins Problem?
15:47 Problem is it's human beings doing it. Rebuild your indexes.
15:47 problem?
15:47 wahanui problem is it's human beings doing it. Rebuild my indexes.
15:47 jcamins Hm.
15:47 forget problem
15:47 wahanui jcamins: I forgot problem
15:47 jcamins Problem is it's human beings doing it. Rebuild \your indexes.
15:47 problem?
15:47 wahanui problem is it's human beings doing it. Rebuild your indexes.
15:47 jcamins There we go.
15:48 oleonard the "Koha_on_Ubuntu" page doesn't have installation instructions, and recommends using packages.
15:48 jcamins oleonard: oh, good.
15:49 I thought those were the super-long Ubuntu tarball instructions.
15:50 Since fudm is using Ubuntu 11.10, presumably s/he started the installation ages ago, though.
15:57 magnuse book title of the day: "MARC21 for everyone : a practical guide"
15:57 jcamins lol
15:57 magnuse: oh, yeah, authority records.
15:58 magnuse only if you know about any handy ones floating around...
15:58 jcamins I just sent to someone.
15:58 magnuse yay!
15:58 jcamins I just have to find them.
15:59 magnuse anyone tried importing MeSH records into koha? http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/marc.html
16:00 jcamins No, but I've thought about it.
16:00 oleonard My staff is perpetually annoyed *and* surprised that the OPAC doesn't enforce hold limits
16:00 The annoyed part I understand. The surprised part? Really, still?
16:00 magnuse hehe
16:01 jcamins magnuse: I'll look for it after some breakfast.
16:01 * magnuse realized during the "get to know koha" day yesterday that authorities and normarc was something he put off until later and then forgot about...
16:03 oleonard But honestly, we should hide the holds limit settings from circ rules until they're fixed. They're not enforced!
16:09 caser jcamins Thanks, I'm looking into the rebuild.
16:10 Is a special circumstance due to the mass deletion or should we be doing rebuild regularly by cron?
16:11 jcamins Mass deletion.
16:11 oleonard jcamins: Because the regular cron update doesn't catch them?
16:12 jcamins Right.
16:15 caser Thank you!
16:21 So, from the comment "oleonard replaces jcamins with a bot that replies "rebuild your indexes"" shall I assume that this is the equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?"
16:22 jcamins Pretty much.
16:22 paul_p jcamins (& chris_n ) = 2 new patches pushed on release-tools

16:44 cait1 maximep:  :(
16:44 maybe you can find the right fix?
16:44 the bug looks like a bit of a never ending story :(
16:44 maximep pretty crazy that it took 7 minor releases to fix :S
16:46 ah, the fixes don't work because of a local change. It seems we use the closing hour in date_due instead of 23:59. Not sure why we did that haha
16:47 jcamins maximep: because that's the logical time for books to be due.
16:47 libsysguy is working on making that work generally.
16:47 If you've already gotten it working, though, a patch would be welcomed.
16:50 maximep I actually don't remember anything about what I did on that stuff haha

16:57 and no release notes

16:57 or I didn#t find it

16:57 jcamins cait1: I'd be shocked if they released it.
16:57 cait1 well, you never know what shocking thing they plan next
16:58 jcamins Granted. But the code for 4.12 was never made available.
16:58 cait1 their press release is quite silent aobut that little fact
17:00 oleonard ...and of course doesn't mention open source except in their boilerplate "about liblime" paragraph

19:13 jcamins_away (where "functionality" includes "consistency")
19:13 oleonard ...Although I don't understand how the process works for libraries that want this. The item is made lost, the patron pays for it, and then... The items stays on their card forever? The item is manually checked in later?

19:55 jcamins_away It shouldn't be. We shoudl adjust 00-load.

19:57 rangi it has all modules installed
19:57 cos it runs all the tests

20:01 jcamins_away Thanks.
20:02 If we had an automated way to get a list of only required packages, I could easily add it to my build test.
20:02 But koha_perl_deps gives me only the names of the modules.
20:04 chris_n I'm sure package names could be easily added
20:04 it's just a hash iirc
20:04 jcamins_away Ooh.
20:04 That's an intriguing idea.
20:04 chris_n resurrecting a repo and dev install is not for the faint of heart :P
20:04 jcamins_away Resurrecting?
20:05 What happened to it?
20:05 chris_n yup, and an additional switch could produce package names instead of module names
20:05 it was on a HDD from my old system
20:06 I'm attempting to move it over intact
20:08 jcamins_away: I'll look at the package thing too while I'm mucking around
20:10 jcamins_away That might be nice. mtompset wrote a script to generate that, but if we could centralize, I would like that.

20:13 chris_n so are we using tabs or spaces now, and how many

20:13 jcamins_away rangi: I know.
20:13 rangi mine doesnt
20:14 jcamins_away I don't use Emacs, and libsysguy is never going to live down the time he reindented most of the Koha codebase.
20:14 chris_n anyone remember the "brief" line editor?
20:14 jcamins_away chris_n: we're using 4 tabs.
20:14 libsysguy okay really
20:14 first you summon me
20:14 chris_n 4 tabs!
20:14 jcamins_away Spaces.
20:14 libsysguy then you insult my favorite editor
20:14 jcamins_away Sorry.
20:14 libsysguy what is this board coming to
20:14 lol
20:15 yeah make sure they are spaces and not tabs or paul_p will stab you in the eye
20:15 * chris_n is going to rip out these tabs then
20:15 chris_n :retab to the rescue
20:16 libsysguy M-x untabify
20:16 jcamins_away M-x giveusreasonstomakefunofthejuniorQAA :P
20:16 rangi but do not put spaces in the history.txt that is a tab seperated file ... ill stab you if you do that ;)
20:16 * rangi has fixed that a bunch of times now
20:16 cait1 but we don#t use tabs...
20:16 we use 4 spaces.. :P
20:17 chris_n so can't we add editor directives to the tops of our files?
20:17 jcamins_away cait1: except in the history fire, which is a tab-separated CSV.
20:17 *file
20:17 chris_n jcamins_away: retab is it
20:18 After the 'expandtab' option is set, all the new tab characters entered will be changed to spaces. This will not affect the existing tab characters.
20:18 jcamins_away Right. I thought you were trying to prevent your typing from creating new tabby abominations.
20:19 (as opposed to tabby cats, which we like)
20:19 * chris_n is persecuting existing tabby abominations
20:19 * libsysguy prefers tabs
20:19 libsysguy because I'm lazy
20:19 chris_n I'll submit two patches then
20:19 * chris_n thought tab was something you drink
20:20 jcamins_away I think sometime in 2007 or something like that someone went through and removed all the editor definitions. rangi might know why.
20:20 ?
20:20 *?
20:20 * jcamins_away is not used to this keyboard.
20:20 chris_n do we have a bug for general style cleanup?
20:21 jcamins_away I'm not sure, actually.
20:21 rangi cos they were kados?
20:22 jcamins_away rangi: but why would he do something like that? Or is it just a mystery?
20:22 chris_n sounds likely
20:22 rangi why would he fork, and cause me to have to read and write affadavits?
20:22 there's no understanding that guy
20:22 oleonard That's for sure.
20:23 rangi or the people who copy his madness and perpetuate it
20:23 cait1 what are those removed editor statements?
20:23 chris_n they tell your editor what style to use
20:24 rangi and are harmless to everything else
20:24 chris_n it appears there is not bug for general style improvements/fixes
20:24 * chris_n will add one

20:38 cait1 melia: do you speak german? I have some easy patches waiting for sign-off ;)
20:38 oleonard And that bisect was pain in the ass.
20:38 chris_n so are we still sending patches to the list? or just git-bz'ing them to bz?
20:38 cait1 oleonard: ouch.
20:38 but good catch
20:38 jcamins_away chris_n: both.
20:38 Use git-bz -m
20:38 melia I don't speak German. sorry cait1. if it were in Spanish, maybe!
20:38 cait1 melia: it's ok :)
20:39 oleonard File a new bug about the regression or add a comment to the existing bug?
20:39 jcamins_away File a new bug.
20:39 cait1 hm, maybe a new one and link?
20:39 jcamins_away I've decided I don't like comments on existing bugs.
20:40 They're a lot easier to miss.
20:40 rangi yep
20:40 cait1 ... and he is rm :)
20:40 rangi i think once its pushed
20:40 new bug
20:40 up until its pushed comments on the bug
20:40 jcamins_away Right.
20:40 But a lot of people comment on bugs after they've been pushed.
20:41 rangi yep
20:42 jcamins_away That's why we're closing scads of bugs on the release of 3.10.
20:42 cait1 jcamins_away: is it easy to generate release notes? I would like to take a look at a list of the features and bugs for testing purposes
20:42 jcamins_away Very.
20:42 Clone the release-tools repo.
20:44 cd ~/kohaclone; ~/release-tools/get_bugs.pl -t v3.08.00; vim misc/release_notes/release_notes_3_9_0.txt
20:44 I may have that file name slightly off.

20:44 jcamins_away Yes.
20:44 Definitely.
20:45 cait1 jcamins_away: I will try, adding repo now

20:47 jcamins_away: can I send a patch for it?
20:47 jcamins_away Yes.
20:47 cait1 because we don't have a hyphen really
20:47 BSZ BW
20:47 or only BSZ, but no -
20:47 chris_n t/Cache_Memcached.t also requires memcached; fixing it too
20:48 jcamins_away In gitdm/domain-map?
20:48 cait1 yep
20:49 jcamins_away Fixed.
20:49 cait1 awesome thx
20:50 jcamins++
20:50 ok, now trying to make release notes :)
20:53 chris_n so shouldn't we put tests for optional modules into a separate dir?
20:53 like db tests are?
20:53 jcamins_away chris_n: that's a good idea.
20:53 chris_n ie. t/Cache_Memcached.t
20:54 oleonard Aaaaand that's why I needed a sanity check.
20:54 Because I was crazy.
20:54 cait1 hm?
20:54 you didn#t seem crazy to me
20:54 chris_n depends on your standard of crazy
20:54 cait1 ah right... might be my perspective
20:54 oleonard And by crazy, I mean my database hadn't been updated when bug 7671 was pushed.
20:54 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7671 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, stephane.delaune, Pushed to Master , add a real primary key "accountlinesid" in accountlines
20:55 cait1 oleonard: that does  not sound good
20:55 jcamins_away oleonard: do you have an accountlines.id column?
20:55 oleonard I reset my version number and the update happened correctly. I assume that means it got lost in the shuffle
20:56 I do now jcamins_away
20:56 jcamins_away Ah, no, I'm wondering about a column called "id" in the accountlines table.
20:57 That patch added a column called "accountlinesid."
20:58 oleonard No, I don't have accountlines.id
20:58 cait joined #koha
20:58 cait I won't miss my dad's bad internet connection
20:59 jcamins_away Okay. Just wondering.
21:00 oleonard Guh, I think that's enough for today.
21:00 cait jcamins_away: it worked perfectly, thx for the hints
21:00 and btw, you are not really away :)
21:00 oleonard++
21:00 rangi jcamins_away: how far are you away from 96th in rockaway?
21:01 jcamins_away rangi: pretty far. Especially since there's no train service out to Rockaway.
21:01 Why?
21:01 rangi my brother in law manages http://robertaspizza.com/
21:01 he has a stocked up van, needs a driver to drive out there to hand out food
21:02 (from roberta's to 96th that is)
21:02 just was wondering if you were anywhere near there
21:02 jcamins_away Ah. Nope.

21:06 jcamins_away cait: no, that was Paul's change this morning.
21:06 cait ah ok
21:06 was wondering how the highlights get sleected
21:06 because those seem to be bugs
21:06 and not new features
21:06 jcamins_away Critical and blockers.
21:07 cait that doesn't seem ideal to me

21:09 Manderson Hi all - can someone tell me if the raw MARC record is stored in a table inside the koha database?
21:09 jcamins_away Manderson: yes it is. It's in biblioitems. However...
21:09 first question?
21:09 wahanui "What are you trying to do?" or "What is the goal?"
21:10 Manderson We have some custom scripts and software that operate on the raw marc record and I want to ensure that we can still operate with those.
21:11 We're on a Voyager system right now and I am evaluating Koha as a viable alternative
21:11 rangi read only scripts?
21:11 Manderson Yes
21:11 rangi that will be fine then
21:11 jcamins_away Then, yeah, that'll work fine.
21:11 rangi just don't go changing stuff without using the api
21:11 jcamins_away If you want to edit records, you need to use the API, though.
21:12 rangi *snap*
21:12 Manderson: biblioitems.marc and biblioitems.marcxml
21:12 jcamins_away rangi and I are in agreement on this.
21:12 rangi depending on what format you want it in
21:12 Manderson thanks guys!
21:12 rangi however
21:12 that does not contain itemdata
21:13 ie holdings
21:13 if you want the item level info too
21:13 you need to call GetMarcBiblio
21:13 off the top of my head
21:14 Manderson Biblioitems doesn't contain item information?
21:14 jcamins_away Right.
21:14 rangi nope
21:14 Manderson that seems a bit misleading :P
21:14 jcamins_away Koha used to have FRBR.
21:14 So there was a biblio, a biblioitem, and an item.
21:15 It lost that when it started using MARC, but not the table names.
21:15 Manderson So, I am just guessing that when a bib is imported, it gets parsed and put into biblioitem and biblios?
21:16 jcamins_away Right.
21:16 Manderson and when it's updated, there are triggers to go back and update those tables too?
21:16 jcamins_away Yes.
21:16 But they're not database-level.
21:16 That's why you *must* use the API.
21:16 Manderson Perl level?
21:16 jcamins_away Yes.
21:16 Manderson Fair enough...
21:16 Thanks for explanation
21:17 jcamins_away Also, the marcxml and marc fields should be kept in sync or bad things happen.
21:17 Manderson BTW, I was successful in my test for checking out, checking in, adding and searching for bibs on my red hat installation
21:17 jcamins_away Which points to using the API which takes care of that for you.
21:17 Hooray!
21:17 Did you take notes?
21:17 Manderson I have notes, and plan to write them up on the Wiki
21:18 jcamins_away Hooray!
21:18 Manderson++
21:18 Manderson I am no red hat guru though, so I won't be able to do any RPMs
21:18 :(
21:19 jcamins_away You could learn!
21:19 * chris_n heads out
21:19 jcamins_away I didn't know anything about Debian packaging a year ago, and now I know a lot. :)
21:19 ;)
21:20 Manderson I've DONE them before...but I am far from well-versed in Red Hat. I am a Solaris admin
21:22 jcamins_away Probably a wise decision to try to install Koha on Red Hat before Solaris.
21:22 rangi ive had it going on solaris
21:22 its not that bad
21:23 in terms of proprietary pieces of crap OSes anyway :)
21:24 Manderson I have to say that sometimes, even thought it can be a pain in the ass, Solaris has never let me down in terms of reliablity.
21:24 eythian hi
21:24 wahanui privet, eythian
21:24 rangi give oracle time
21:24 they'll fix it's reliability too
21:24 jcamins_away lol
21:25 Manderson *shutter*
21:25 Yeah, they'll fix it REEEEAAALLL GOOD
21:25 By making it a pay-for option
21:25 jcamins_away Stability?
21:25 wahanui Stability is due to db upgrade
21:27 jenkins_koha Starting build #224 for job Koha_3.8.x (previous build: SUCCESS)
21:54 claire joined #koha
21:54 claire Hi #koha
21:56 rangi hi claire
21:57 claire rangi, there's this mesage software error: when I try to view details for a patron.
21:58 The 'month' parameter ("0") to DateTime::new did not pass the 'an integer between 1 and 12' callback  at /usr/lib/perl5/DateTime.pm line 194
21:58 rangi what version of koha?
21:58 claire those are the first two lines
21:58 rangi most likely the person has either an invalid date of birth
21:58 claire 3.8
21:58 rangi or expiry
21:58 3.8.x?
21:58 wahanui i think 3.8.x is missing 7805
21:59 rangi 3.8.6 ?
21:59 claire 3.8.4
21:59 rangi either way, its probably to do with bad data fro that patron, the have 00 as a month
22:00 how did you create the patron?
22:00 wizzyrea joined #koha
22:00 rangi hi wizzyrea
22:01 claire I'll check that but there are two patrons so far I have came across with the same problem
22:01 rangi yep
22:01 how did you create them?
22:01 claire create what?
22:01 rangi the patrons
22:02 if it was a data import id suspect that munged the dates
22:02 it will be one of the dates, expiry, birth
22:02 claire using new patron
22:02 rangi registration
22:03 or it could be one of the issues has a bad date
22:03 claire okay
22:03 rangi some date to do with that patron has gotten 00 as a month
22:05 its quite likely its 0000-00-00 in the db
22:05 claire how can I deal with the issue?
22:05 rangi you have to find the invalid date, and fix it
22:06 claire The date of birth of that particular patron is written as 15/07/1982
22:06 rangi it wont be that then
22:07 ive never seen this error except from an import, or from someone changing things in the database
22:07 do you have db access? id do

22:09 that query in the db will show you
22:09 you can do that in reports too
22:09 if you dont have db access
22:10 claire its details and check out that gives error message

22:14 rangi, those are the errors when I update
22:14 eythian that's not a Koha related error, you'll have to get your sysadmin to look into it.
22:14 mtj ^^ what he said
22:15 eythian it's also not related to your DataTime error.
