00:00 rangi yeah boi
00:02 jcamins You know, it's kind of incredible how standards have changed in the past thirty years.
00:02 wahanui joined #koha
00:03 eythian wahanui: jcamins is also <reply>ask him about serials and/or acquisitions.
00:03 wahanui okay, eythian.
00:03 jcamins I just proofread a grant proposal from 1982.
00:03 A successful grant proposal.
00:03 It had errors that a freshman comp student today would get docked for.
00:05 dcook I like to think of it as progress but who knows
00:05 I think my parents stopped being able to help me with my math homework by...8th or 9th grade, and both were university educated
00:06 Mind you, my school was significantly better than theirs...
00:06 jcamins dcook: that's something a little different, though. You mostly don't use any math above 9th grade level in normal life.
00:07 dcook jcamins: True, but they said they'd never even seen anything like that. It wasn't about them not remembering how to do it. They really just hadn't seen it. But yeah, that is different.
00:07 What sort of errors are int he grant proposal?
00:07 in the*
00:07 jcamins Spelling errors, some basic grammatical errors, and a complete absence of consistency.
00:07 On a single page there are no fewer than three ways of representing lists.
00:08 dcook Are you sure freshman comp students today would get docked for that?
00:08 jcamins 1. Like this
00:08 2) Like this
00:08 (3) Like this
00:08 Well, maybe they wouldn't lose points, but certainly there would be notes.
00:08 dcook I don't know if that's necessarily true. It might depend on the instructor and the school.
00:08 At the beginning of my university education, spelling, grammar, and consistency mattered a lot
00:09 By the end, it seemed to me that it was normal for errors to be in "polished" works
00:09 Normal not being a good thing though :p
00:10 * dcook shrugs

00:15 wizzyrea Real life is messy.
00:16 dcook wizzyrea: Generally speaking, that's the way I'm leaning these days
00:16 jcamins Sure, but you end up failing to communicate due to singularly simple errors.
00:16 dcook I think part of that had to do with gender neutral pronouns
00:16 wizzyrea real life doesn't make sense all the time.
00:17 dcook Mmm, agreed, jcamins
00:17 rangi fixed the redirects now too
00:17 dcook wizzyrea: True, but are there times where you get an email and you have zero idea what it says?
00:17 wizzyrea real life is messy :)
00:17 it's only a problem if they refuse to clarify
00:17 dcook In most cases, that's true
00:18 It can be quite stressful during high pressure situations
00:18 wizzyrea and imo, if scholarly publications aren't producing scholarly quality works, then it isn't a scholarly publication.
00:19 ...but they still got it
00:19 which means it must have 1. been better than the other submissions and 2. it was good enough for the grant givers
00:19 jcamins Yup.
00:20 wizzyrea which I think says more about the grant givers than the submitter.
00:20 jcamins Oh, no doubt.
00:21 Hence my comment about standards.
00:21 wizzyrea well, you have to wonder if their standards had to be lowered because of the lack of quality of the submissions
00:21 sometimes you just HAVE TO GET RID OF THE MONEY
00:21 it does happen :/
00:22 budget year's ending, whatever
00:22 jcamins That's a good point, though.
00:22 dcook true true
00:22 rangi phones arrived
00:22 wizzyrea \o/
00:22 dcook I was once in an "elite" program which turned out not to be so elite because the applicants just weren't there
00:23 jcamins Phones?
00:23 dcook Which lowered the overall quality of the program as well :(
00:23 jcamins There is something... off... about the (software) dock on my laptop, and I can't figure out what it is.
00:23 I think when the trackpad was randomly clicking it removed one of the icons that was there.
00:24 Clearly not an important one.
00:25 wizzyrea hate it when that happens
00:25 things out of order?
00:25 jcamins I've been staring at it for several minutes, and I can't see anything out of order, so... no?
00:25 jops joined #koha
00:28 dcook Going senile, jcamins
00:30 wizzyrea did the icon change for your favorite app?
00:30 i've had that happen.
00:30 or one of your apps
00:31 jcamins Oh, maybe it's that the memory allocation monitor isn't all red.
00:32 wizzyrea hehe
00:34 tweetbot joined #koha
00:38 jcamins Actually, I think I would vote for a feature that made it impossible to set the branch.
00:38 Make sure that no one uses the db user.
00:39 wizzyrea ^^
00:39 dcook ?
00:40 wizzyrea or make it sufficiently irritating to set it (which it is now) that you don't bother to use it
00:49 dcook rangi, wizzyrea: Do you know if that issue with the z39.50 server description NULL/default value error ever got reported?
00:50 jcamins I don't think so.
00:51 dcook thanks, jcamins
00:52 I'll enter one now
00:56 jcamins Bug 10079 is weird.
00:56 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=10079 major, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Passed QA , HomeOrHoldingBranch should not control who can delete when IndependantBranches is enabled
00:57 jcamins You wouldn't think HomeOrHoldingBranch should have anything to do with deleting, ever.
00:58 wizzyrea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo
01:00 dcook Hmm, true as, jcamins
01:00 I guess I can see the logic, but...doesn't sound like a great idea
01:01 jcamins I can't even see the logic.
01:01 * dcook goes and takes a look at the actual preference
01:01 dcook Ah..
01:01 Yep, that's frakked
01:02 jcamins Wait...
01:02 I can't reproduce the bug.
01:03 Oh.
01:03 I see.
01:09 * dcook is delving into updatedatabase.pl
01:09 jcamins Odd...
01:10 Oh well.
01:11 dcook Does it do what it needs to do at least?
01:12 cjh: Are you around?
01:12 cjh dcook: depends, am I in trouble?
01:12 dcook hehe, nope
01:12 jcamins Oh, yeah, I got past that one, and now I'm on bug 8840.
01:12 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8840 normal, P5 - low, ---, mtompset, Passed QA , ubuntu-pkg-check.sh fix and extend functionality
01:12 dcook I was just wondering if you could run me through your updatedatabase.pl trick again
01:13 rangi: Looks like pastebot is down?
01:14 rangi hm?
01:14 jcamins Yeah, 502.
01:14 updatedatabase.pl trick?
01:15 dcook Yeah, I'm always a bit terrified to make DB changes
01:15 cjh just bumping kohaversion.pl by 1 minor version, running web installer, and then bumping it back down.
01:15 (for patches that still have an XXX)
01:15 pastebot joined #koha
01:15 rangi try that
01:16 dcook huzzah. Cheers, rangi :)
01:16 jcamins Oh.
01:16 I just run updatedatabase.pl directly.
01:16 dcook jcamins: I think that's what I usually do as well
01:16 But as cjh pointed out, this way you get to see the web installer view
01:17 jcamins Ah.
01:17 cjh jcamins: yeah, I just prefer the web installer view and find it easier than setting up the koha-env :)

02:03 jcamins By the way, for anyone who was wondering, a Raspberry Pi is not the ideal device for a home security system, as setting up a streaming webcam runs the risk of causing the system to OOM.
02:04 dcook jcamins: Good to know
02:05 I was thinking of using one for security-related things
02:05 i.e. wire it up to some floodlights so that you could turn them on remotely when you're down the street
02:05 Much less demanding than a streaming webcam though..
02:05 jcamins Other people have gotten it working.
02:06 So I am speculating that Apache (or something) tried to start itself up when I was testing the webcam.

02:20 jcamins I actually bought it for experimenting with as a home catalog, but I wanted something fun (read: silly) to do today, so I picked it up and started fiddling.

04:44 mtj peeps, what is the diff between a notice in koha, and its 'digest' version ?
04:44 dcook The digest version usually just includes a number, I think
04:44 wizzyrea the digest has all the things
04:44 dcook Whereas the regular notice includes all sorts
04:45 wizzyrea for example
04:45 if you have digests on for holds
04:45 hold notifications
04:45 if a borrower has 5 holds in a day come ready
04:45 mtj aah, ok… i should have looked
04:45 wizzyrea they will get one email
04:45 instead of 5
04:45 dcook Hmm, mysql query browser didn't like a million+ records...
04:46 wizzyrea: The digest email won't have any of the detailed information though
04:46 It will just say, you have 5 holds
04:46 It won't say you've got 5 holds which are titled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
04:46 (minus that last ,)
04:47 wizzyrea hm are you sure?
04:48 dcook Not 100%
04:48 wizzyrea holds are a bad example because they don't have digest :)
04:48 dcook I've been looking at the advanced notice digest though
04:48 And that seems to be the case
04:49 Unless you've manually changed what goes into the <<items.content>> replacement, I think
04:49 wizzyrea the default one definitely only shows the count
04:49 dcook Mmm,  yeah. I'm not sure about holds
04:49 Right
04:49 No digest for that one
04:49 wizzyrea holds don't have a digest :P
04:49 dcook hehe
04:49 wizzyrea check out and check in though are always digest
04:50 digested?
04:50 dcook Now I'm hungry again...
04:50 wizzyrea and at least check-out does show the titles
04:50 dcook Of course, I'm having issues with my dev emails anyways so I can't speak too much to notices atm
04:50 mtj the digest versions seem to often only have a 'count' style template, (but they can show itemised content?)
04:51 wizzyrea I think they can - I could be wrong
04:51 dcook I know that wizzyrea and I have talked about this many times and never really settled on the for sure answer
04:51 wizzyrea have we?
04:51 dcook I always get side-tracked by other things which are a bit more pressing :/
04:51 wizzyrea lol.
04:51 dcook Yup, lol
04:51 At least twice
04:51 Possibly three times
04:51 * wizzyrea is like a goldfish "ooh, a bubbler!"
04:51 wizzyrea <swims round again>
04:52 ooh! a bubbler!
04:52 and so on.
04:53 dcook lol
04:53 I really do need to sit down and look at that one someday
04:53 Or mtj could look and report back the definite answer :)
04:54 mtj im about to test it now
04:54 dcook Yay!
04:54 I've never thought of it until now but I wonder if places would deliver food to the office...
04:54 I had lunch but I want second lunch...
04:54 Or pre-supper
04:55 I suppose Australians do have afternoon tea...

10:42 drojf rangi: pro-tip: don't trust the alarm clock. i think the snooze button let me sleep 50 minutes instead of 5 this morning
10:43 rangi heh
10:43 mtj i have recently seem this -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-[…]fox-os-simulator/
10:43 pretty clever
10:44 drojf rangi: did you get gps to work? it displays an icon but that's it for me
10:44 rangi mtj: thats what we were using at the apps day
10:45 drojf the simulator is pretty good actually
10:45 rangi drojf: nope no gps, but sms and phone call work well
10:45 drojf you got a keon too i suppose?
10:45 rangi yep
10:46 drojf i made it hang a few times, still can't get back from sms by one person to sms of everybody ^^
10:46 mtj rangi, aaaah, ok :) i had no idea its been out that long, even
10:46 drojf apart from that, it has more functionality than every phone i ever had
10:47 rangi :) apart from the gps, everythign else feels like software issues
10:47 which is all good, they are easier to fix :)
10:48 drojf i spent a million hours preparing a ubuntu 64bit building vm for fxos :D
10:48 rangi :)
10:48 drojf and i changed the browser search to duckduckgo. have not dared to upload it to the phone though
10:49 it seems i can build gaia but i get errors if i try to build the whole thing
10:50 i don't think i should change stuff in more than gaia anyway ;)

10:56 drojf i try to build a value_builder plugin to use when adding an item. it is supposed to check for a value in the record it is going to be added to. can i get the relevant biblionumber from within the plugin somehow? i tried $query->param('biblionumber'); but that gives me "Undefined subroutine &main::plugin called at /home/mirko/koha/cataloguing/plugin_launcher.pl line 38."
10:59 rangi hmm, i havent ever played with them

11:25 mtj hmm, i need to look about for that old repo… /
11:42 drojf, aaah - i found that old repo...
11:42 heres a (pretty fugly) example of a working cataloging plugin
11:42 drojf cool :)
11:43 mtj: thanks for looking!
11:44 i am trying to get the biblionumber with javascript and then pass it to the perl function. i think that might work
11:44 mtj its a bit 'mysterious'…someone else wrote most of it
11:44 drojf lol @ mysterious
11:44 mtj i 'modified' it… after them :)
11:45 ive forgotten why i added many 'xxx' values, in the marc records?
11:47 i think they were placeholders, that i later removed when saving?
11:49 drojf ha, works with var biblionumber = document.getElementsByName​('biblionumber')[0].value;
11:49 i win javascript \o/
11:52 then i can pass it as a parameter and deal with it as you did too, mtj. seems my problem was just getting it somewhere before passing it over
11:53 mtj aah, ok
11:54 christophe_c joined #koha
11:54 drojf i still think i should be able to get that other than looking it up in the file, but i may be wrong in case of adding an item.
11:54 and it works for now ;)
11:57 mtj lol, its just a great example of bad code!
11:58 i remember bits of it very well
12:00 3 jscript functions that are stuffed into a perl string called $res, wtf?!
12:05 drojf, actually - i think that example is more hurtful, that helpful
12:06 jcamins mtj: A) isn't it kind of late for you, and B) I think that's just how value builders work.
12:06 mtj yes, and yes
12:07 drojf :D

13:53 How did you do that?
13:55 oleonard My browser window is about 1050px wide for that screenshot if that helps
13:55 jcamins Oh, maybe it's an absolute width thing. My item tables aren't that wide.
13:56 oleonard Y U got skimpy items tables jcamins?
14:01 jcamins Okay, reproduced it.
14:02 drojf does a mysql BETWEEN 1 AND 5 include 1 and 5 or is it 2, 3 and 4?
14:04 jcamins drojf: I think it's inclusive.

14:35 oleonard Besides Bug 10229, is there a reason why we *should* enforce a no-space rule on authorized value codes?
14:35 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=10229 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , branch transfer limits showing one tab at bottom
14:35 jcamins oleonard: you can't search for authorized value codes when there are spaces.
14:35 Barrc joined #koha
14:36 oleonard jcamins: Meaning you can't limit by collection code in a catalog search?
14:36 ...or something more general?
14:37 jcamins oleonard: collection code, or anything else.
14:37 oleonard So we need to have client-side and server-side validation of authorized value codes and block anything non alphanumeric?
14:37 jcamins That would seem like a good idea to me.
14:39 oleonard So 10229 is "wontfix," but we need a new bug about enforcing valid entries
14:39 jcamins 10229?
14:39 That's caused by a space?
14:40 oleonard Yes
14:40 jcamins Then, yes, that would be my inclination.
14:41 oleonard At least it's in the manual: "Authorized value is limited to 80 characters and cannot have spaces or special characters other than underscores and hyphens in it"
14:41 jcamins Yeah, underscores and hyphens are fine.

18:05 oleonard Yes. The time part of it is an additional plugin.
18:05 jcamins Hm.
18:08 Any idea where we handle the date format?
18:10 I see date-format.inc, but I don't really know what it does.
18:10 oleonard calendar.inc
18:11 jcamins Ah-ha!
18:11 Thanks.
18:11 oleonard date-format.inc is used to display a hint about what date format is expected when entering a date
18:12 jcamins No wonder it didn't seem to do anything.

18:37 tcohen jcamins, koha-remove: if the instance has a custom hostname defined, that does not match the one from mysql/koha-common.cnf
18:38 should we abort?
18:38 currently localhost is hardcoded so bad things can happen if someone uses an external DB and has one named the very same in localhost
18:39 jcamins tcohen: maybe not abort, but print out a warning and don't delete the database, perhaps?
18:40 tcohen yes, that's what I thought
18:40 I'm touching koha-remove to make it work for partial installs (koha-create failures)
18:40 so we use it as an easy rollback method
18:41 jcamins That's a good idea.

19:00 * oleonard wonders if there is such a thing as an IRC cat bot
19:01 rambutan Hey, I just re-proposed that just last week!
19:01 Well, it was actually a Koha cat bot
19:02 oleonard A good IRC cat bot would threaten to eat any channel member who was idle too long.
19:04 jcamins khall: didn't you submit a patch with an example SIP client to Koha?

20:53 I think I just encountered that.
20:53 * cait waves
20:53 mtompset Greetings, cait. :)
20:54 jcamins mtompset: senator confirms that he has some CentOS experience. Unfortunately, I expect he'll be leaving work in about 6 minutes.
20:54 mtompset No biggie. I solved my CentOS problems. :)
20:55 jcamins Hi cait!
20:55 How was your trip?
20:55 cait long? :)
20:55 senator jcamins: true today, but not always. but glad to hear mtompset installed debian *ducks*
20:55 jcamins Hehe.
20:55 mtompset So, how do I blow away everything in my git repo and make it like I just did the git clone?
20:56 jcamins mtompset: I just clone it over.
20:56 mtompset -- without doing the git clone from scratch.
20:56 jcamins Or delete my local branches.
20:56 Either works.
20:56 Deleting the local branches involves less time, if you don't have a pristine git repo somewhere on your LAN.
20:56 mtompset I did delete my local branches, but it left remnants behind like the new file I created.
20:57 jcamins git clean
20:58 Warning: THIS WILL DELETE THINGS IN AN IRRECOVERABLE WAY
20:58 mtompset That's fine.
20:58 I have a patch file which I can at least read to redo everything.
20:58 jcamins I have a screenshot of my web browser.
20:58 I keep on clicking on it and trying to copy text.
20:59 mtompset Been there, done that.
20:59 -- senator: This was for a different project. It was apache2 configuration issues, not a Koha problem exactly.
21:00 senator ah
21:01 bag logs?
21:01 wahanui hmmm... logs is http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
21:01 bag oh rangi++
21:03 mtompset *sigh* Okay... redoing a git install again.
21:10 bag hey mtompset do you have any SAML work that you've been working available any where to look at?
21:10 mtompset Nope. It isn't to the alpha stage yet.
21:10 As soon as I get it to the alpha stage, I'll let you know. :)
21:11 bag awesome - well we may be working on it too
21:11 so if we have some alpha we'll share with you
21:11 mtompset However, it is based on biblibre's shibboleth patch.
21:12 Let me grab the URL...
21:12 http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koh[…]036101ba6a0903ecb
21:12 bag cool yeah that's what I was looking at too
21:13 also mod_mellon
21:13 mtompset I have something which is integrated with master... However, since I don't have shibboleth installed, I can't get it to work for me.
21:13 I also tweaked it, since the redirect assumes the same server.
21:14 rangi wahanui: forget logs
21:14 wahanui rangi: I forgot logs
21:14 bag logs?
21:14 heh
21:14 rangi logs is http://irc.koha-community.org/koha/
21:14 logs?
21:14 wahanui logs is, like, http://irc.koha-community.org/koha/
21:14 rangi there we go
21:14 mtompset valley girl speak?!
21:15 bag NateC?
21:15 wahanui I LIKE SPACE AND MY WIFE
21:15 rangi (it will redirect but that is the new url(
21:15 NateC Space is the Place :)
21:17 * mtompset hums, "It rolls down stairs. Alone or in pairs! Rolls over the neighbour's dog. It's great for a snack and fits on your back. It's log, log log!"
21:17 jcamins bag: mod_mellon might not be such a good choice, since that locks Koha into Apache.
21:18 bag right but you can run both apache and whatever
21:18 mtompset eeew!
21:19 jcamins Not for auth.
21:19 Because every single request has to be authenticated.
21:20 bag well jcamins I don't think SAML is for everyone - and if someone really wants it - that could be fix for them alone
21:20 not for everyone :D
21:20 jcamins True.
21:20 bag which is the line that I was walking
21:20 mtompset But a solution that can be turned on or off with a couple of sysprefs works across the board.
21:20 jcamins Good thing I'm not going to be the RM when that code comes out, eh?
21:21 bag a solution that can be turned on and off - is much better
21:21 rangi mod_mellon is fine, it can use the same system as the pki
21:21 so can be turned on and off
21:22 its sure as hell beats writing a SAML implementation in perl
21:22 bag and if it you love it and want to be on apache - there you go - no problem to you jcamins :)
21:22 :D
21:22 jcamins Well, I won't be RM, so I don't give a damn either way.
21:23 mtompset okay...
21:23 Let's start from scratch... I've just done the git clone.
21:23 I cd'd into the directory.
21:24 what next steps would be recommended to take?
21:24 bag wait jcamins we can't get in any more code?  Did I miss the message?
21:24 heh :P
21:24 rangi mtompset: what are you trying to do?
21:25 jcamins You have one week to get well-tested bugfixes into 3.12.
21:25 mtompset I'm trying take a patch file I have, apply it, and have it not affect my initial branch.
21:26 How did the GBSD go on Friday?
21:26 jcamins mtompset: two bugs were reported, and that was it.
21:27 * cait just finished reading the logs an dnoticed noone missed her
21:27 cait guess i can go to sleep then :)
21:27 night all
21:27 wahanui goodnight cait. You'll be back.
21:27 cait left #koha
21:29 jcamins bag: rangi has clarified that mod_mellon is *not* what CAS is using, so never mind my objections.
21:29 (not that it mattered anyway, as you wouldn't be submitting code by last February)
21:31 mtompset would you git install from the initial git clone directory or from a newly created branch?
21:32 jcamins mtompset: what difference does it make?
21:32 mtompset Is one easier to reset to a pristine git clone state?
21:32 jcamins No.
21:33 When you're running an install, it has nothing to do with what's in the git repository.
21:33 I mean, those are the files that are installed, but it is unrelated to branches.
21:33 mtompset True, the install doesn't know about the branches.
21:37 rambutan joined #koha
21:42 mtompset okay... rebuilt from scratch. all is clean. all is functional.
21:43 Now to manually redo these changes, because I don't want to accidentally modify the master.

23:04 talljoy rangi that's a great video
23:05 jcamins rangi: wow, that's awesome.
23:05 Now I want an iguana to introduce to Myshkin.
23:05 talljoy hey jcamins, it's my lucky day!  you were release manager for 3.10.05? yes?
23:05 rangi hehe
23:05 nope thats me
23:05 jcamins talljoy: no, rangi.
23:06 talljoy that was you rangi, even better.  :-)
23:06 cjh hehe
23:06 rangi https://www.youtube.com/watch?[…]ded&v=-aLyqyd2CiQ
23:06 yeah, nah
23:06 wizzyrea ^ so funny
23:06 jcamins I was RMaint for 3.6.5-3.6.10 and RM for 3.12.0.
23:07 Or maybe to 3.6.9. I don't exactly remember.
23:07 talljoy i've noticed that when circulating an unknown items the fast add cataloging option doesn't give the user the option to select the framework, they are stuck on the 'fast add framework'.  i can't see anything in the release notes that would be related to a change in this behavior.  (3.10.03 does give the option to select a framework)
23:08 rangi there were definite changes to the fast add functionality
23:08 talljoy ah.  see here jcamins this is where i found your name as release manager http://koha-community.org/koha-3-10-5-released/
23:08 rangi he's release manager
23:08 they only do .0 releases
23:08 release maintainers do .everything else
23:08 wizzyrea maintainer I think
23:08 jcamins I suppose, yes, I was release manager for 3.10.5, but that won't help because you're interested in a stable release.
23:08 :)
23:09 talljoy gotcha!  jcamins you're off the hook then.  :-)
23:09 * talljoy sets her sights on rangi
23:09 talljoy what were some of the changes to fast add functionality?
23:09 rangi 7523
23:09 in 3.10.4
23:09 jcamins talljoy: if you change the framework when doing fast add, you break the fast add.
23:09 rangi exactly
23:10 jcamins It because a regular add.
23:10 rangi and you cant check out

23:11 j/k she's not.  but this was given to me by her. :-D
23:11 * wizzyrea suspects who reported that.
23:11 rangi right, well its by design, changing framework is a bug
23:11 its now been fixed

23:12 rangi if you want to do a real cataloguing .. go do that :-)
23:12 wizzyrea see the comic.
23:12 talljoy okay, so a library who liked this option will need to have the "true fast add" framework be the one they use for checkout.  (very reduced)
23:12 dani left #koha
23:12 jcamins talljoy: what?
23:12 wizzyrea they can import their fast add over the existing fast add.
23:12 if that's what they want.
23:12 talljoy right, that's what i need to do
23:12 rangi what she said
23:13 jcamins Okay, that's what I understood too.
23:13 talljoy they have multiple fast add frameworks
23:13 eythian fast add, faster add, fastest add.
23:13 talljoy bizactly
23:13 wizzyrea JUST ADD THE DAMN THING framework
23:13 talljoy LOL
23:13 thanks for the clarification y'all
23:13 wizzyrea "added yesterday" framework
23:13 they can call it the TARDIS framework
23:13 jcamins eythian: don't forget "fasting add," which is appropriate when your circ staff is on hunger strike.
23:14 eythian heh
23:14 talljoy and btw, someone asked me for RDA framework additions, are they in channel now?
23:14 i think it was maximep
23:14 jcamins It was maximep, but it doesn't look like he's around.
23:14 rangi @seen maximep
23:14 huginn rangi: maximep was last seen in #koha 3 days, 3 hours, 10 minutes, and 43 seconds ago: <maximep> been that way for years

23:15 jcamins marc frameworks?
23:15 wahanui marc frameworks are specific to Koha.
23:15 talljoy yes, i can.  i warn you they are hideous scripts, but they get the job done

23:17 wahanui http://02varvara.files.wordpre[…]no-bear.jpg?w=800
23:18 rangi actually MARC killed Koha's initial FRBR implementation
23:18 wizzyrea we could almost add "we should use more MARC" to "be rangi"

23:27 huginn jcamins: Error: Dice can't have more than 100 sides.
23:27 jcamins huginn: says you!
23:27 huginn jcamins: downloading the Perl source
23:27 jcamins It's a fractal die.
23:31 papa joined #koha
23:40 jcamins Does anyone have any idea what issues.return is?
23:41 And issues.issuingbranch.
23:42 rangi i can find out
23:42 dcook joined #koha
23:43 jcamins Thanks.
23:43 I suspect they're obsolete.
23:43 rangi i can confirm that branchcode is where the item was returned
23:44 back in 2000
23:44 issuingbranch was where it was issued
23:44 jcamins Ahh, but at some point they got swapped?
23:45 rangi branchcode is now where it was issued
23:45 i dont think we record where it was returned
23:45 * rangi looks
23:47 rangi nope we dont
23:47 well we do in statistics
23:47 but not in the issues or old_issues table
23:48 so yes, issuingbranch is not used anymore (from a quick grep)
23:48 jcamins Thanks. That's what it looked like to me too.
23:48 Any idea about issues.return?
23:49 rangi that used to be a boolean
23:49 back when we didnt have old_issues
23:50 afaict
23:50 edveal joined #koha
23:50 jcamins Ah.
23:50 Thanks.
23:50 That makes sense.
23:50 rangi i must say
23:50 i like this
23:50 http://git.koha-community.org/[…]e4a578a61654c19db
23:51 better than our 12k line Circulation.pm
23:51 sory 120k
23:52 the code was crap
23:52 but at least i could find stuff ;)
23:52 jcamins But at least it was neat crap.
23:52 dcook Certainly something to be said for neatness
23:52 I sometimes wonder what lurks in the bowels of Koha
23:53 jcamins dcook: despair. We must never speak of it.
23:53 wtf?
23:53 dcook One of those things where it grows more powerful the more you say it's name? ;)
23:54 jcamins Bug 10241
23:54 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=10241 normal, P4, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Easy analyticals creates two 773 fields. Search/link from host to children is broken
23:54 jcamins You know what? I'm going to ignore it because I haven't the energy to explain that those are two entirely separate features that do not work together.
23:55 rangi yeah
23:55 easy analytics is fine if you never ever want to export your records
23:55 i recommend people dont use it
23:56 jcamins Well, it also works fine if all you care about is the 773$a/$t/etc.
23:57 rangi true
23:57 jcamins Where it does not work is if you are looking to create links that are not Koha-internal.
23:58 rangi yep
23:58 jcamins Or, of course, if you're using control number links.
23:58 But I feel like that should have gone without saying.
23:59 rangi apparently not
