00:18 wizzyrea bad coffee?
00:21 dcook Yep
00:21 There's always a joke or a second or two spent on a character going "Bleck, this coffee is terrible" and they throw it out
00:22 Or... I just noticed with all the shows I watched around a given time period :p
00:22 Of course I only have 3 examples off the top of my head...
00:22 Ghost in the Shell, Lost Girl, and Seinfeld.
00:22 wizzyrea oh I thought you were making a sly joke about java.
00:22 dcook But I'm sure it's in other places
00:22 Nah, that was the one about it being full of beans
00:23 I've definitely had a few "Bleck, this Java is terrible" moments though
00:51 Of course, feeling like I'm freezing really probably indicates that I should've stayed in bed this morning...

06:12 im trying it out from another server I'm getting v"
06:12 telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
06:35 mtompset Same problem, schnydszch
06:44 magnuse joined #koha
06:48 paxed blah.
06:49 why doesn't koha have a table that contains the extracted biblioitem marcxml, split into separate fields.
06:56 indradg joined #koha

07:40 magnuse happy spring equinox, #koha!
07:40 as of today i have more sunlight than y'all - mohahahah!
07:40 and there is a solar eclipse!
07:49 drojf and there are no protecting glasses available anywhere
07:49 at least in berlin and a lot of germany
07:49 magnuse :-(
07:50 we bought some a couple of years ago, but we have no idea where they are after we moved last year...
07:50 drojf school kids are locked inside because schools are too stupid to buy such things ahead of time and hand them out
07:51 and the optometrists said they don't care, they want to make real money with real glasses
07:51 magnuse wow
07:52 drojf they sold them on ebay for a few hundred euro in the end. they are usually like… 2€?

09:06 cait don't hurt your eyes!
09:06 some of the coworkers brought in the old glasses from 2009, taking turns here :)
09:08 magnuse yay
09:16 cait someone eats the sun!
09:19 drojf magnuse: using the front camera of my smartphone while turned away (filming the sun behind me and looking at the display) works a little better than the camera obscura
09:26 cait really looks funny

13:42 gerundio tcohen1, are you around?
13:45 nengard anyone know much about github?
13:46 gerundio nengard, not much, but ask away, maybe I can help
13:46 still more of a SVN user myself
13:46 nengard https://github.com/Koha-Community/kohadocs  - i want to set this up to pull from the official git repo regularly - I found a way to import a git repo but not how to keep it up to date
13:47 like the Koha report on github does
13:47 https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha
13:47 gerundio take a look at this http://koha-community.org/get-[…]d/for-developers/
13:47 Koha has its own git repository
13:48 I think Koha's repository @ github is a mirror
13:50 magnuse and i think nengard wants to set up a similar mirror for the docs
13:50 i think mtj set up the other mirrors
13:50 nengard yes i want to set up a mirror
13:50 magnuse no idea how to do it, though
13:50 nengard :(
13:50 I'll have to ask github :)
13:50 and gerundio I am the one who pushes to the git repo for the documentation so I know all about it ;)

14:00 gerundio tcohen, I got a response from EBSCO's team regarding that Z39.50 server issue you helped me with yesterday
14:00 "Unfortunately, we do not support the UNIMARC format for Real Time Availability Checking. We do support the USMARC or OPAC formats. The USMARC format was used previously in a working configuration of RTAC for your EDS Custom Catalog. Could you change the format in your z39.50 server to either the USMARC or OPAC format?"
14:01 if our Koha installation is setup using UNIMARC can I simply publish the Z39.50 server with USMARC or OPAC format?
14:02 cait huh, and they said it worked previously?
14:02 it hink they might have used USMARC - but the data still was unimarc
14:02 thre is no automatic conversion
14:02 gerundio so basically what they're asking is not possible, right?
14:03 cait hm the confusing bit is that they said it worked before
14:04 gerundio cait, I'll try to give some context without going into excessive detail
14:05 cait makes it sound more like a communication problem - if they worked successfully with your data beofre
14:05 gerundio about a year ago I was contacted by our library staff saying that we would integrate with EDS
14:05 after a few email exchanges then, I enabled the Z39.50 server on our Koha instance and got an OK from them
14:06 fast forward a year and they say it wasn't working anymore
14:06 cait hmmmm
14:06 so something in our configuration changed maybe? did you update koha in between?
14:06 gerundio in the meantime the Z39.50 server had been disabled
14:07 probably when we upgraded Koha from sources to start using debian packages
14:07 I can't point any other possibility as we didn't made any changes to the configurations ever since
14:07 cait i think your koha always responded with unimarc data - but it might be that you could have asked for usmarc n the past
14:07 (still getting unimarc anyway)
14:08 the rtac service looks at the items?
14:08 or at the record?
14:08 gerundio nevertheless, the Z39.50 settings are now as they were before
14:09 so my thought is exactly as yours, it's been UNIMARC all along
14:09 cait that would be my guess as well
14:09 if they look at the items they are non-standard anyway
14:10 gerundio from their explanation regarding RTAC, I'd say it looks into both
14:10 "RTAC stands for Real Time Availability Checking, which is ensuring that the real-time holdings information for a Record is retrieved and displayed in an EDS Custom Catalog. This real-time holdings information is usually contained within a server, often a z39.50 server, which tracks if items are on available, checked out, on loan, etc... As items are physically checked out or returned, the server is updated with current holdings informati
14:10 on. When RTAC functionality is implemented in an EDS Custom Catalog and a Record is loaded and displayed, our servers automatically query the z39.50 server (or other usable server), and display the holdings information returned for that Record."
14:11 cait hmmm i'd say only items
14:11 as long as they can find the record
14:11 which should work
14:11 gerundio they mention mostly records but then they say "tracks if items are on available"
14:11 not clear for me
14:11 cait holdings information for a record - i think the dispaly of the recordw ithin ebsco comes from their database
14:12 hm but not usre
14:12 how does the ebsco index get updated if they don't support unimarc?
14:12 gerundio good question... but I have that doubt myself
14:13 I'm only dealing with the infrastructure part of the process
14:13 cait i think maybe give them a call?
14:13 if possible
14:13 gerundio from a few emails that were sent back and forth I saw mentions of data being uploaded to them via FTP
14:13 cait i think we can be quite sure that the data hasn't changed - only the way to query it
14:14 gerundio so I'd guess that would be the records' information
14:15 magnuse there has been some changes to te z39.50 server
14:16 gerundio magnuse, what Koha versions were affected by those changes?
14:18 magnuse i think it was bug 3087
14:18 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3087 enhancement, P3, ---, frederic, CLOSED FIXED, Z39.50 server returns usmarc format records for UNIMARC DB
14:18 drojf so they used that as a feature?
14:19 magnuse could be
14:19 * drojf waves
14:19 magnuse the changes around this happened around the 3.10 release
14:21 gerundio that would explain it
14:21 we started using Koha at version 3.8
14:21 nengard magnuse I found out how to do it - i need to put a hook in the documentation git repo - do you know how I could find the hook that's in the koha repo to copy it?
14:21 https://help.github.com/articl[…]t-github-mirrors/
14:22 gerundio and have upgraded in a few iterations to the current  3.18.x
14:24 since there's no way to automagically convert from UNIMARC to USMARC, what is the OPAC format they mention and would that be a possible workaround?
14:25 * magnuse never heard of a opac format
14:25 magnuse nengard: no idea - it sounds like something that would have to be setup by whoever runs the official koha repos
14:26 nengard message to the mailing list it is :)
14:26 magnuse oh looky, the git server is run by someone called bywater
14:27 gmcharlt, rangi, baga and chris_n are supposed to have shell access
14:27 baga? huh?
14:28 gmcharlt nengard: mirror what where?

14:44 nengard gmcharlt - letting beau out - brb
14:47 gaetan_B was the "hide_marc" system preference ever meant to hide marc numbers when cataloging or did i imagine it?
14:47 i think i remember it working this way at a time
14:48 gmcharlt gaetan_B: I think your recollection is correct
14:48 gaetan_B but it seems to only hide numbers in the marc views
14:48 then it might be a bug
14:48 nengard gmcharlt back
14:48 gaetan_B the preference description is sort of acurate though
14:48 nlegrand I'm going to work on Bug 13881, if someone as comments don't hesitate :)
