01:33 mtj heyas...
01:33 ooooh, is it done with gource chris?
01:36 rangi yep
01:37 jcamins What made you think of doing that visualization?
01:38 rangi id been planing to do it for a while, just finally got around to it
01:38 its something you could run slightly delayed on a monitor if you wanted
01:39 wizzyrea would be cool for the library website too
01:40 rangi you could do it for anything that you timestamp
01:40 i just have a little perl script that does a db query and generates a changelog from it
01:40 then gource can do stuff like that

02:06 jcamins eythian: you should demand a static IPv6 IP.
02:06 *address
02:06 eythian I should.
02:07 * jcamins gets out the signs for picketing Catalyst.
02:07 eythian I could also have my machine's name point to an AAAA on our internal network.
02:07 jcamins "Static IPv6 addresses for eythian! Static IPv6 addresses for eythian!"
02:23 dgchina joined #koha
02:23 dgchina anybody here messed around with the mobile CSS for CCSR?
02:54 mtj hmm, not me dgchina...
02:56 wizzyrea the first question?
02:56 wahanui "What are you trying to do?" or "What is the goal?"
02:58 dgchina I noticed when you have content in the right sidebar of the ccsr theme, it shows up at the bottom of the mobile theme on some devices. That's with the css out of the box for both.
02:58 trying to figure out what needs to be changed in the mobile theme to either move it or remove it
03:00 mtj curious, what device...?
03:00 dgchina Samsung Galaxy S2
03:02 jcamins dgchina: you can change the OpacUserCSSMobile.
03:02 The right sidebar is supposed to be responsive.
03:02 dgchina if I edit OpacUserCSSMobile, it replaces the default CSS? Or is appended?
03:05 Haven't figured out yet what div I should be editing in OpacUserCSSMobile to move the right sidebar
03:05 jcamins It's appended.
03:06 #opacrightsidebar
03:06 I generally use Chrome's built in web developer tools or Firebug to find things like that, BTW.
03:06 I happen to know that only because I was working on bug 10405 earlier.
03:06 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=10405 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Needs Signoff , User-editable sections should have ids
03:07 dgchina yeah, I found #opacrightsidebar in Chrome, but its not mentioned at all in mobile.css
03:07 wizzyrea probably because it's using the CSS from non-mobile for that.
03:08 jcamins Why would it be mentioned in mobile.css?
03:14 Yay! Finished washing the dishes!
03:14 Good night, #koha.
03:15 eythian later
03:15 dgchina thx jcamins

06:48 bigbrovar Hi guys, I installed koha (3.12) using the debain packages following the wiki, I just want to understand which user runs koha (and koha services) I understand that a koha user was created on the system with home directory at/var/lib/koha/library .. I am asking before, my previous experience with koha was with building it from source, and in that case I had to create a koha users who was responsibile for ownership of all koha related directories and and
06:49 runs the crons otherwise things won't work
06:49 is this the same case with the package install? I noticed root owns files under /usr/share/koha
06:49 cait have you looked at the commands made available by the packages?
06:50 the packages should take care of all of that I think
06:50 bigbrovar the tl;dr of all am saying is which user do koha crons run under
06:50 cait if you mess with permissoins you might break their magic :)
06:50 the user of your instance i think
06:50 but you shoudl take a look at the commands
06:50 it's mostly taken care of
06:50 bigbrovar cait: so I leave things as there are?
06:50 cait yeah, iw ould start with leaving things as they are
06:50 bigbrovar cait: can I run the debian command as root?
06:50 cait you are more likely to break something
06:50 AmitG heya cait
06:51 cait sorry i have to run
06:51 maybe ask around a little later
06:51 cait left #koha
06:53 bigbrovar cait: thanks
06:57 asaurat joined #koha
06:57 asaurat hi
06:57 magnuse bigbrovar: the short answer is that the packages take care of everything elated to users and permissions :-)

06:59 paul_p joined #koha
06:59 francharb joined #koha
07:07 bigbrovar magnuse: Thanks. but in case I want to setup crons like the /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjob​s/process_message_queue.pl under which user do I setup the cronjob
07:07 or does the package take care of cronjobs too?
07:07 magnuse they do, for a lot of things
07:07 the packages also provide commands for doing a lot of tasks
07:08 do "man koha-common" for an overview
07:08 bigbrovar magnuse: wow... am confused.. I just not use to people doing stuff for me.. but that is super cool.. but takes getting used to :D
07:09 magnuse hehe
07:09 for sending email messages there is koha-email-disable and koha-email-enable
07:09 bigbrovar makes koha very accessible especially and lowers the entry barrier
07:09 magnuse yup
07:10 those two should be all you need to enable sending email
07:11 bigbrovar let me get this right (its sounding too good to be true) so u mean I don't have to bother with setting up a cronjob and koha-common does that, or there is a koha-common command for setting up cronjobs
07:12 gaetan_B joined #koha
07:12 gaetan_B hello
07:12 wahanui niihau, gaetan_B
07:13 magnuse bigbrovar: koha-common sets up a lot of cronjobs for you, have a look at /etc/cron.daily/koha-common  /etc/cron.d/koha-common  /etc/cron.hourly/koha-common to see which ones are set up
07:15 bigbrovar: in /etc/cron.d/koha-common there is: "*/15 * * * * root koha-foreach --enabled --email /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjob​s/process_message_queue.pl" which means that messages are processed every 15 minutes, *for those instances that have email enabled* - which means all you have to do is run "sudo koha-email-enable <yourinstancename>"
07:16 AmitG joined #koha
07:16 saa can some one help me i am getting an error in kohaadmin and opac "Tag '0' is not a valid tag Biblio.pm line 2346" hw to sort out this error. is it related to marc framework.

12:30 druthb Thanks. :)

12:33 oleonard I'm always extra-crotchety around my birthday
12:34 druthb I got to do some different things for my birthday weekend—on Friday, took Lindsey to the Natural Science museum.  It was lovely, and the butterflies were out in force at the Cockrell Butterfly Center.
12:34 Lindsey found a butterfly that had escaped elsewhere in the museum, and shuttled it back quickly.  It wasn't very active, but was still alive.
12:35 Saturday, my 45th birthday, I put her on a bus to Dallas to go apartment-hunting.
12:36 magnuse "gratulerer" to khall and belated "gratulerer" to druthb!

12:36 druthb Thanks, magnuse! :)
12:39 jcamins Gosh I have a helpful cat.
12:39 He is bound and determined to help me endorse a check.
12:40 tcohen heh
12:40 jwagner jcamins, he associates check with purchase of cat food?
12:40 jcamins Aaand he just put a claw most of the way through my hand.
12:40 druthb ow!
12:40 jcamins I'll say!
12:41 oleonard Oh no, and that was your signing-off hand!
12:42 * tcohen thinks Myshkin over stepped there, he'll have his food anyway
12:43 jcamins Yeah, he's lost his desk privileges for the day.
12:44 oleonard The shame.
12:57 jcamins oleonard: I have a question for you about how we do layouts in Koha. Is there a way to tile divs without having a separate row div (yui-g) for each row?
12:57 If I just use yui-b, I end up with a result like this: http://www.screencast.com/t/wvISCEAWPqcO
12:58 oleonard jcamins: Not using the built-in YUI grid. You'd have to add some new layout CSS.
12:58 Are you not wanting to deal with the logic of when to create a new row?
12:59 jcamins Okay then, next question: do you have any objection to me adding layout CSS or using some of Bootstrap's layout CSS?
12:59 oleonard I have no objection to adding the CSS you need to get the job done
13:00 jcamins Right. I am adding the ability to specify as many contacts as you want, and I'd rather not have special case code for rows, when merely using a "float: left" on each div results in the desired layout.
13:04 magnuse jcamins: lazy! ;-)
13:04 jcamins magnuse: do you really want to maintain code in which a [% FOREACH %] starts with [% IF ... %]<div...>[% ELSE %]</div>[% END %] ? :P
13:05 oleonard jcamins: Have you looked at flexbox?
13:05 jcamins I have not. Do we use that/
13:05 *?
13:05 oleonard I don't think there is enough browser support for it yet, but it looks very useful: http://weblog.bocoup.com/dive-into-flexbox/
13:05 CSS3
13:06 jcamins Ooh, interesting!
13:06 wahanui well, interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
13:07 oleonard http://caniuse.com/#search=flex
13:07 jcamins Yeah, the lack of current support in anything is a bit of an issue.
13:08 magnuse css3++
13:09 oleonard lack_of_current_support_in_anything--
13:09 IE-- # just for good measure
13:10 druthb @karma ie
13:10 huginn druthb: Karma for "ie" has been increased 1 time and decreased 94 times for a total karma of -93.
13:10 druthb whoa.
13:10 @karma chrome
13:10 huginn druthb: chrome has neutral karma.
13:10 druthb !
13:10 chrome++
13:10 jcamins druthb: presumably that karma increase was for "il est" rather than "internet explorer."
13:11 magnuse @karma firefox
13:11 huginn magnuse: Karma for "firefox" has been increased 1 time and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 1.
13:12 magnuse looks like ie is the only browser that evokes strong emotions :-)
13:12 druthb There are reasons for that.
13:13 Chrome vs Firefox seems to be a preference thing, but they both appear to work *just fine* (except Walmart.com's pharmacy….that requires FF).  But IE..  uhm.
13:13 doesn't.
13:13 magnuse lol
13:14 jcamins Walmart.com's pharmacy doesn't work in Chrome? That's kind of specific.
13:14 druthb It didn't, last time I tried to refill a scrip.  When you get to the "place this order" phase, to check and make sure your pickup store is  correct, Chrome just *hangs*
13:15 In FF, it looks kind of AJAX-ey, so it may be doing something dodgy with a modal or something.  Not my itch to scratch.
13:16 jcamins Eww.
13:18 Wow, flexbox looks very cool.
13:23 khall question: now that we have used all the subfield letters in 952, where should additional item-level data be stored in a marc record?
13:24 jcamins Bit fields?
13:24 ^^ not a serious suggestion! Don't take it and run with it!
13:25 khall heh!

13:32 talljoy joined #koha
13:33 khall_away joined #koha
13:48 khall fyi, it looks like the answer to my question is field 942
13:49 or maybe not
13:50 it as fields for call number, which is item level, but also subfield 0 is for "Koha issues (borrowed), all copies" which isn't exactly item level.

13:52 maximep joined #koha
13:58 cait joined #koha
14:04 magnuse khall: i think MARC is supposed to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase in subfield "names"? not sure how koha will eract to that, though
14:04 the correct answer is of course: "get rid of marc" ;-)
14:06 i might be wrong about uc/lc, though. not sure what my source is...
14:16 gmcharlt khall: no, not 942, that's bib-ish level
14:16 khall: what new field are you proposing?

16:21 * oleonard tries to get QA's attention with Bug 9924
16:21 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9924 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Signed Off , Simplify and rename patron card creator error message include
16:22 pianohacker oleonard: Come to think of it, you're just the person. Mind if I ask you for a bit of admin styling advice?
16:22 oleonard Not at all
16:24 pianohacker oleonard: Working on a simple form to add a record to a table, much like the z39.50 admin, but I have a set of labeled checkboxes (corresponding to libraries) as the "value" for one item in the fieldset ol. What would be the best way to mark that up?
16:25 huginn New commit(s) kohagit: Bug 10311 - Holds queue ignores item-level holds where only one items exists <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]b4b9a6dd2817ad8e9>
16:26 cait pianohacker: what will it do in the end? *curious*
16:26 oleonard pianohacker: I can't really picture what you want based on that description
16:26 pianohacker: checkboxes and radio buttons are always tricky to deal with, so I usually recommend looking to existing examples in the templates
16:28 Hang on, be right back.
16:30 oleonard joined #koha
16:31 pianohacker cait: It's an option to select which libraries' patrons can use an external search target in the OPAC
16:32 cait oh
16:32 that sure sounds interesting
16:32 is that for licensensed databases?
16:32 with a properly spelled lic... word
16:32 pianohacker cait: I think eventually maybe, still working on that :)
16:32 cait oook
16:32 will try to be patient
16:32 :)
16:33 * oleonard can't spell license either without wondering if he got it right
16:33 pianohacker oleonard: So, one option here would be to use a select-multiple to select branches, but those things are kind of user-hostile IMO
16:33 oleonard Agreed.
16:33 pianohacker a set of checkboxes seems easier to navigate
16:33 * jcamins favors a more tag-y approach, but that has no justification in the existing Koha style guide.
16:34 pianohacker the problem is marking it up. May just end up throwing some custom CSS into the page header. As it's page specific, you have any problems with that?
16:34 oleonard jcamins: I worry that the concept of tags has never caught on and is now fading
16:35 jcamins oleonard: I don't know, that interface predates the web by quite a lot. Most of the old green screen programs used something similar for selecting.
16:35 oleonard pianohacker: No, but I'm still confused about what is so special about this situation. Not just a list of checkboxes in a standard form?
16:35 jcamins Okay, maybe not most.
16:35 oleonard jcamins: Perhaps I misunderstand what you mean by "tag-y"
16:36 pianohacker oleonard: Take a look at the "Branches limitation" part of the patron category edit form
16:36 jcamins But the student information horror that TCNJ used had something similar.
16:36 oleonard: where you select one of the unapplied tags, and it goes into a list of what's been applied, and then you can remove it from that list of applied tags.
16:37 The only place I've seen that on the web is with tags.
16:37 pianohacker oleonard: That's the functionality I'm aiming for. It would be possible to have it as checkboxes within the form, but it seems clearer to have it nested within a line of the form
16:37 tomascohen joined #koha
16:37 pianohacker jcamins: Ah! I think I know what you mean. I like that for editing tags, but I don't know if it's appropriate for this situation
16:37 plus, it would be more work :)
16:38 jcamins Well, yeah, of course it would.
16:38 Never, _ever_ ask me for advice on a UI question.
16:38 (and I noticed you didn't... very clever;)
16:39 I generally like to do Bootstrap-like control-replacement, so that -- for example -- underneath it all is a slew of checkboxes, but the user doesn't have to see them.
16:40 I actually haven't done that for this particular interface element, though.
16:40 cait that sounds nice
16:40 pianohacker jcamins: Heheh, not intentionally not asking you ;) oleonard's just the guru
16:40 * jcamins makes a note of how useful that functionality would be.
16:41 jcamins pianohacker: ah, see, there's your mistake. You should've intentionally not asked. :P
16:41 * jcamins decides to eat some lunch.
16:41 pianohacker oleonard: nvm, that same patron category editing screen has a fieldset nested, that would work perfectly
16:41 * pianohacker runs off after having asked another question so long that it answered itself
16:42 * gmcharlt welcomes our rubber duck overlords
16:43 * pianohacker needs a rubber duck with the Google logo on the back
16:45 cait hm can someone explain the rubber duck joke? :)
16:45 pianohacker cait: http://informalsemantics.com/r[…]r-duck-debugging/
16:46 cait every time I think my english is pretty sufficient by now... you people start talking about something i have nooo idea about :)

17:51 jlozano Hello! Anybody on?
17:53 * pianohacker is half-on, it's a monday
18:03 jlozano Ahh! I cant really see, have to use android client :(
18:04 pianohacker ahh, shoot. What's your question?
18:08 jlozano Weeeeel so. If someone searches the catalog (koha 3.11) after they click on a result they get a 500 sever error..
18:08 cait jlozano: hm there is no stable 3.11
18:08 the uneven number indicates this is a prerelease version
18:08 jlozano Buuut if they are logged in... even as a patron it works!
18:08 magnuse hm, still something iffy with the 3.10.6 packages? after upgrading i have "Koha version: 3.10.05.003"
18:09 tcohen bye #koha, see u tomorrow
18:09 cait bye tcohen
18:11 jlozano Ah. Didnt know about the uneven number thing.
18:12 cait but apart form that
18:12 i am not sure what would cause the problem you see
18:12 maybe try turning off opacsuppression if you have activated it
18:12 and empty out opachiddenitems
18:12 that could be something that is diferent between opac and staff
18:12 jlozano Obviously a permisson issue, oh well, were only using that instance of koha until august
18:14 jcamins You should think about upgrading (or downgrading) to a released version.
18:14 cait have you changed the xslt views?
18:14 jcamins There was a problem with anonymous search history.
18:14 You could also disable saving search history.
18:15 jlozano K, gonna start with opac suppression...
18:15 cait what jcamins says sounds familiar - maybe start even there:)
18:16 jcamins cait: yeah, the 3.12 RM threw a hissy fit about that breaking everything for anonymous users.
18:17 cait yeah... but he threw so many... hard to remember... ;)
18:17 druthb the 3.12 RM was good at throwing those.  :P
18:18 cait well, they were for the right reasons mostly
18:18 jcamins *Mostly*?
18:18 * cait ducks
18:19 jlozano OK JUST FIXED IT!
18:20 Disabling opacsearchhistory did the trick!
18:22 jcamins Good. I'd still suggest upgrading to a released version.
18:22 jlozano Jcamins, thanks! Gonna get a bywater in august, but untill then well use this.
18:24 jcamins That's 2-3 months using code that the RM (me) felt wasn't suitable for production use. I'd upgrade anyway.

19:18 maximep hey, I have a Holds question for you guys
19:18 do I understand correctly that with the "Place a hold on the next available copy " checkbox, I can do infinite holds at the same hour ?
19:19 cait ?
19:19 maximep there's no check to really validate that a copy will be available ?
19:19 cait maximep: i don't understand your question really :)
19:19 the checkbox means that the next item that becomes available can fill the hold
19:19 or more precise that any item of that record can fill the hold
19:19 maximep ok so it's when you do the checkout that you choose an item ?
19:20 cait in opposite to an item level hold
19:20 maximep: i still think what you try to do should be a plugin ;)
19:20 because I am worried it will not really fit in with existing options :)
19:21 the difference is between only a special item fan fill the hold and all items of that record can fill the hold
19:21 maximep ok
19:21 cait when there is more than one item on the shelf, it won't matter which you check-in
19:21 they should all fill the hold and trigger the hold message
19:22 maximep ok, but if I understand correctly, in that case there's no check that an item will be available at the date of the hold
19:22 cait are you referring to the hold date in future feature?
19:22 maximep man, this whole holds thing is so confusing to me
19:22 cait it is confusing.
19:22 it is complex.
19:22 jcamins maximep: of course. If the item is going to be on hold until the future hold date, you might as well not make it a future hold date.
19:23 maximep especially since I haven't been to a library in 10 years
19:23 cait maximep: maybe with your job you shoudl remedy that
19:23 and go and sit at a circ desk for a while :)
19:23 maximep 2 years too late for that :p
19:23 cait it's never too late
19:24 :)
19:24 maximep yes, i'm talking about a an hold date in the future
19:24 jcamins maximep: you should visit a library.
19:24 maximep haha I should
19:25 cait seriously.
19:25 pianohacker "oh god this is why the circ people are always so grumpy!"
19:25 maximep but it really is our client's job to explain those stuff to me
19:25 * cait thinks library visits should be mandatory for all koha developers who are not librarians :P
19:25 pianohacker I dunno. Some liasons do a good job of explaining some things, but you don't get the... urgency of some things
19:25 oleonard maximep: Except your client doesn't know how to explain things well, even if they think they do.
19:26 pianohacker "It just takes 10 clicks to do that, why is that a problem?"
19:26 cait and they don#t know what's technically possible
19:26 so they will not tell you the best solution to the problem necessarily
19:26 jcamins pianohacker: even the ones who do a good job explaining things don't do a good job.
19:26 If you see what I mean.
19:27 Because they are living with the problem.
19:27 pianohacker heh, in some ways, yeah
19:27 maximep well, my client knows koha better than me and is pretty technical
19:28 of course he doesn't know the code
19:28 but who does -_-
19:28 libsysguy http://www.williamghelfi.com/b[…]tem-for-starters/
19:28 jcamins libsysguy: it's released?
19:29 Ah.
19:29 No.

19:32 libsysguy not yet
19:32 but the grid system is fairly stable
19:32 Callender__ joined #koha
19:33 cait maximep: don't let us make you grumpy :)
19:33 maximep: i think the hold date in future means it will take effect at that date, but not that you will get the item at this point
19:33 if they are all checked out then... you are out of luck
19:33 maximep hmmm
19:33 gmcharlt cait++ # agreed re Koha devs visiting libraries, including ideally some time working a circ desk
19:34 maximep the problem is that were not really a koha shop
19:34 cait: that makes sense... somehow
19:35 cait i think marcelr has been some dev on the hold in future feature - but i haven't tested it yet
19:35 maximep i guess that's why we added a "set aside" feature, to make sure no one can borrow it in the meantime
19:35 cait it's in different states of sign off/qa etc.
19:35 gmcharlt at least one part of it is passed-QA
19:36 maximep hmmm didnt see that

20:09 pianohacker wahanui: acos(-1)

20:09 rangi i actually should do another call for library cards, so i can take some photos for kohacon13
20:10 jcamins You know, if I could get a narrow card catalog cabinet, it'd actually be perfect for the pantry.
20:10 rangi right time to take kids to school

20:12 cait have a nice evening magnuse
20:12 well... or good night :)

21:26 i still hate that logger implementation
21:26 cait hm?
21:26 oh
21:27 rangi http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]g.cgi?id=8190#c58
21:27 huginn 04Bug 8190: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Signed Off , Add a logging module to Koha, that can report log message to staff interface (for developer use)
21:27 rangi i stand by this comment still
21:28 i do not see the need for a great big new module that we then have to maintain, when someone has already solved the problem for us
21:29 * gmcharlt agrees with rangi
21:29 gmcharlt especially since the proposed logger doesn't even add syslog support
21:29 rangi *nod*
21:29 mcooper joined #koha
21:32 cait so how do we continue with the logger?
21:33 I can see that reusing something existing would make a lot of sense, but the bug is a bit of a dilemma
21:34 gmcharlt cait: well, the counterpatch rangi includes in the bug is actually a pretty comprehensive start
21:34 cait yeah, but noone picked it up so far, which is sad
21:34 gmcharlt the main things missing are (a) the usual documentation and syspreffing
21:34 and (b) implementing the in-HTML logs, which folks seem to want
21:35 cait hm yes
21:37 rangi ye

22:37 add syslog stuff, swap the logging module to log4perl, etc…
22:37 rangi hell no
22:37 swapping the module is not whats needed
22:38 the point is, we dont need a whole new module
22:40 jcamins rangi: in my opinion, the point is more technical debt. We could replace the module, but that's one more thing that already "works" (for some value of "working") and needs to be refactored when someone has time and funding to do refactoring.
22:41 rangi yeah, pushing it now, would just make a mess for later
22:42 gmcharlt and we already have enough to refactor
22:50 tcohen joined #koha
23:06 rangi hi tcohen
23:07 tcohen hi rangi
23:07 its been a while
23:07 rangi yep, timezones
23:07 tcohen thanks for the repository thing
23:07 rangi hmm?
23:07 tcohen ppa?
23:07 wahanui somebody said ppa was ok for ubuntu
23:07 rangi ahh yep :)
23:09 tcohen i filled a bug on packaging naming, something only tcohen cares about
23:09 rangi heh
23:09 tcohen just wanted to write it somewhere
23:09 rangi you mean repository naming :)
23:09 tcohen should i mark it "In discussion"
23:09 rangi or pocket naming even
23:10 ie not changing the name of the packages, just the pockets they live in
23:10 thats right eh?
23:10 tcohen i'm fine with squeezy (love the name)
23:10 jcamins It involved changing the names of the packages, too.
23:10 rangi ahh thats much more problematic
23:10 breaks upgrades
23:11 jcamins Yeah.
23:11 tcohen in an ideal world with transition packages it shouldnt
23:11 but its too much work!
23:11 rangi changing the names of the pockets i dont mind
23:11 but the packages themselves are following the debian standard
23:12 so we should stick with that, and our focus should be getting them into debian proper
23:12 jcamins What I'd do is make the change at the 3.14 release, since all the package naming gets screwed up every time we do a major release anyway.
23:12 tcohen oh, naming the pockets would do it, that's what you mean rangi?
23:12 rangi so our repo goes away (except for dev packages)
23:12 jcamins: its never changed from koha-common
23:13 jcamins rangi: yeah, but suddenly koha-common is the wrong package.
23:13 rangi why?
23:14 i can see that the pocket is wrong, if we put a new major version into stable
23:14 jcamins Exactly.
23:14 rangi but it should still be called koha-common
23:14 so the package name doesnt change
23:14 just we need better pocket names
23:15 jcamins That makes sense to me, and is how I handle my packages, but that's not what the bug report was for.
23:15 maximep left #koha
23:15 * rangi only skimmed it
23:16 rangi i think having a pocket for each major version number, would work
23:16 tcohen i actually didn't think of pockets... if i had... maybe i would have named the bug otherwise
23:16 rangi :)
23:17 tcohen my main concerns are (1) stable versions limit (2) forced upgrade because of (1)
23:17 i just liked the way virtualbox solved it (in debian apache 2.2 vs 2.4 would be the same thu)
23:17 rangi not quite
23:18 they change far less
23:18 tcohen and didn't think of pockets
23:18 rangi thats workable if you only change every 2 years or so
23:18 papa joined #koha
23:18 rangi every six months, = mess
23:18 pockets better for that i think
23:19 tcohen suppose we had 3.8, 3.10 and 3.12 pockets
23:19 rangi yep
23:19 tcohen how does it fit for koha-common inclusion in Debian?
23:20 gmcharlt tossing an idea out here ... why not aim for matching postgres' packaging
23:20 ?
23:20 e.g., koha-common-3.10, koha-common-3.12, etc., along with some scripts to 'move' Koha databases from one koha-common cluster to another?
23:20 tcohen that would be too tcohen-ish
23:21 rangi thats still every six montsh
23:21 thats gonna be a nightmare to maintain
23:21 id deal with that when we get a package ready for debian
23:22 gmcharlt yep, but would mean that our apt repo would serve the same function in Koha-land that apt.postgressql.org does for Pg
23:22 rangi ie clean up the copyright, get a working koha package
23:22 * gmcharlt fully realizes that he's invoking the invisible smally army of packagers
23:22 rangi and then deal with numbering for debian
23:22 but to solve the problem now of people accidentally going from 3.10.x to 3.12.x because they arent paying attention
23:22 pockets would solve that
23:23 jcamins rangi: actually, to my mind the problem is less accidental upgrades and more "uh-oh, what happened to my preferred package?"
23:24 gmcharlt rangi: sure -- but I think the more time passes, the more pressure there's going to be to have the pockets be named anything other than squeeze for koha-common itself
23:24 jcamins The need for dist-upgrade prevents people upgrading by accident.
23:25 gmcharlt jcamins: though, to be pedantic, only by coincidence
23:25 one could imagine a Koha releae that adds no dependencies
23:25 jcamins Hmmm... yes, I suppose one could.
23:25 gmcharlt (one could also imagine porcine aviation, granted)
23:25 BobB joined #koha
23:27 * tcohen realizes people might be starting to hate him
23:28 rangi naw, i just think more important things to work on
23:28 and that changing the package names unless we get 12 more packagers is not really sustainable
23:28 the pockets however could be done
23:30 pianohacker bah. apparently installing dsl service does not, to centurylink's mind, include installing a jack and phone line. that's extra!
23:30 * pianohacker grumbles about waiting for his own internets 4 days longer
23:31 tcohen how often does debian release? two years?
23:31 hmm... that'd be 4 koha releases

23:38 dcook hehe
23:39 tcohen we don't have a fines or overdues table, am i right?
23:40 dcook Accountlines contains fine information, but I think only once they've been charged
23:40 jcamins There's accountlines and issues.
23:41 dcook Oh maybe FU is while accumulating..
23:41 rangi yes it is
23:41 FU is if the item is still on loan
23:41 tcohen so accountlines/FU means unpaid fine
23:41 rangi FU and F can both be paid and unpaid
23:42 if amountoutstanding = 0 they are paid
23:42 one is still acruing though, the other isn't
23:42 tcohen i'm trying to think how to tie an OO model for recording suspensions with the way we handle overdues
23:42 (and fines)
23:42 rangi we should make
23:42 Koha::Accounts
23:42 and Koha::Accounts::Fines
23:43 Koha::Accounts::Payments
23:43 * dcook thought that khall was looking at an accounting rewrite
23:43 rangi blah blah
23:43 wahanui rumour has it blah blah is important
23:43 rangi the hard bit is mapping, but thats soluble
23:43 tcohen what about suspensions rangi=
23:43 rangi but trying to fit an OO model to something that isnt OO
23:43 will just make a mess
23:44 so you need to start again
23:44 and map to your new tables
23:46 tcohen the only thing i didn't figure yet is how to make a suspension a consecquence of an aggregation of overdues
23:47 something like "all overdues of items that were checked-in the same day" is a suspension
