00:04 indradg eythian: that "accessing koha from internet" is a 3.8 install (not upgraded)
00:06 eythian indradg: sure, but it'll still work exactly the same way as it's apache configuration.
00:07 indradg sure! but either brave souls or with a death wish to take an old unpatched box online
00:08 eythian yes, definitely.

01:12 mtj hey #koha
01:12 http://arstechnica.com/informa[…]dit-tool-project/
01:13 ..just in case people havent seen it yet
01:14 just when you think you've seen in all.. someone surprises you, huh :/
01:15 http://arstechnica.com/informa[…]e-pushing-adware/
01:19 looks like the old Koha project at SF hasnt been seized yet - thats good
01:20 http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha/
01:21 rangi i deleted all the tarballs off there ages ago
01:23 mtj hey rangi, good move
01:23 rangi ill see if i can remove the rest
01:24 doesnt help randoms keep making new projects on there
01:24 https://sourceforge.net/projec[…]?source=directory
01:25 mtj it sure does pay to have a plan-b, when using someone else's services for your project.. huh
01:26 rangi yup
01:29 mtj some of those koha projects on SF are pretty gonzo
01:32 cdickinson joined #koha
01:32 rangi killed everything i can, sourceforge wont let you delete a project
01:33 eythian it's mostly windows binaries that they're co-opting.
01:33 fortunately, we're immune to that.
01:38 chrisvella joined #koha
01:42 cdickinson ugh, Sourceforge
01:43 <huginn> Sent 6 days, 3 hours, and 35 minutes ago: <eythian> feel free to target Debian instead of Ubuntu if it's easier, I won't mind :D
01:43 I've been online all week...
01:43 rangi it only tells you when you say something
01:43 eythian it only sends when it sees that you're actually there.
01:44 cdickinson oh, right
01:44 huginn: can confirm, I'm alive
01:44 huginn cdickinson: I suck
01:44 cdickinson lol
01:45 I think I remember the context though
01:45 I was complaining about the bug in the libapache2-mpm-itk package, right?
01:45 too late, I already made a hack in Puppet to work around it :P
01:46 still need to report it though if it hasn't yet
01:46 alvet joined #koha
01:47 eythian cdickinson: it's been reported long ago
01:47 cdickinson wow
01:47 and it works fine in Debian and later versions of Ubuntu?
01:49 eythian yep
01:49 I think they don't consider it important enough for an SRU
01:51 cdickinson eythian: I respectfully disagree with that :P
01:52 eythian No, it's true. I do think that they don't think it's that important :)
01:52 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubu[…]-itk/+bug/1286882
01:52 cdickinson sorry, what I meant to say is that I disagree with THEIR opinion, not yours
01:54 lol
01:56 kmlussier joined #koha
01:57 bshum joined #koha
01:57 eythian mtj: <mtj> http://arstechnica.com/informa[…]e-pushing-adware/
01:57 and then you're talking about putting stuff on github?
01:58 cdickinson oh yeah, that's right
01:58 * eythian feels that it's possible to take lessons from the sourceforge thing.
01:58 mtj um, are github added adware to their repos?
01:59 rangi not yet they arent
01:59 eythian no, but they're exactly the same sort of service.
01:59 mtj s/added/adding/
01:59 rangi but sourceforge didnt for 15 years
02:01 mtj its OK with me if you remove the KC.org page on github, fyi
02:02 for me, github is a useful mirror... only
02:02 eythian If you're a free software project, it seems better to encourage the use of free software services.
02:02 and github definitely isn't.
02:02 mtj yeah, i agree
02:03 like i said... its fin with me to remove it :0)
02:03 fine
02:07 eythian, rangi... having an up-to-date koha page on github has a few other positives too
02:08 eythian that wouldn't happen if it was mirrored on another service, like gitlab?
02:08 I actually kinda like the idea of having a k-c hosted gitlab, but it would require too many workflow changes to take full advantage of it I feel.
02:09 mtj nope :) not this specific postive
02:10 cdickinson http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q2/194
02:10 rangi @quote search coffee
02:10 huginn rangi: 1 found: #171: "rangi: I find proprietary software unethical...."
02:10 rangi @quote get 171
02:10 huginn rangi: Quote #171: "rangi: I find proprietary software unethical. So even if it made me coffee and polished my shoes everyday, it would still suck" (added by wizzyrea at 08:10 PM, December 08, 2011)
02:10 rangi mtj: i stand by that
02:11 mtj lol, seriously awesome chris :)
02:13 rangi http://repo.or.cz/w/koha.git  <-- thats an automatic mirror
02:13 but yeah i think we could run up gitlab.koha-community.org
02:13 mtj it seems most of the perl6 stuff is happening on github, i was a bit shocked by that?!
02:15 rangi if there was a bugzilla -> gitlab importer
02:15 that would be pretty sweet
02:15 but first i think we would want to get a bunch of people to play with it, and see if they like it
02:16 and if it's worth changing the workflow, and figuring out how that would work, with signoffs etc
02:18 eythian yeah
02:18 rangi i feel like our releases are really solid these days, and thats a testament to the signoff and qa process, so would have to figure out how that workflow would work with gitlab
02:19 mtj sounds exciting :)
02:20 ..it might reveal some workflow improvements, to how we do things currently
02:21 alvet_ joined #koha
02:22 mtj i have been curious to see how the bug workflow is happening on perl6/github
02:25 rangi as long as we dont move away from signoffs and qa, .. would be ok, if moved from patches to pull requests, but id resist any relaxing in qa standards thats for sure
02:25 eythian a gerrit style workflow could achieve a similar purpose.
02:27 rangi yep
02:31 right, gonna try to nap and hopefully fight off this cough
02:36 cdickinson get better soon, rangi
02:40 mtj the qa-tools repo might be a good little test project for gitlab
02:40 (afaik, its using github as a tracker)
02:41 ..github as its bug tracker
02:42 so.. not great :p
02:43 i think lazyness won there
02:46 yeah, gerrit too eythian :)
02:47 ..also worth considering
02:47 again
03:10 cdickinson <cdickinson> <huginn> Sent 6 days, 3 hours, and 35 minutes ago: <eythian> feel free to target Debian instead of Ubuntu if it's easier, I won't mind :D - actually, that got me thinking. I'll probably try my setup out with non-Ubuntu instances when I get it working with that as well
03:10 how well supported is Red Hat-based distro in Koha?
03:10 eythian good plan, we tend to deploy Debian (but that's not set in stone)
03:10 cdickinson: not nearly as well as Debian-based ones are
03:11 you basically ahve to take the tarball and do it by hand
03:11 wizzyrea there was a project for redhat I saw just the other day to package an rpm, but I believe it was abandoned sometime around 3.10
03:13 cdickinson ahh
03:14 eythian yeah, I remember seeing people talking about it, but it's a fair bit of work. It took liw most of a year (I think?) to give us a solid enough foundation to build the debian packages on.
03:17 cdickinson yeah, I can understand that
03:40 AmitG joined #koha
03:51 * eythian is always surprised when I discover things don't work that I expected would. In this case, advanced search in the staff client works when I hadn't even got to looking at it yet.
03:51 eythian In this case, I wanted to see how it failed.

05:29 cdickinson hey eythian, is it possible to configure Koha with Zebra index running on a separate machine at the moment?
05:29 even if it's still in the same package?
05:29 eythian yes, but not automatically, it's something of a manual process.
05:29 cdickinson That's fine, I'd just like to know how haha
05:29 eythian (basically, edit the relevant bits of koha-conf.xml.)
05:29 disclaimer: I've never done this.
05:29 cdickinson okay
05:29 I'll take a look
05:29 heh
05:35 I take it it's <biblioserver> and <authorityserver> in particular I need to look at? Can they be repeated to add more than one server?

12:31 marcelr :)
12:32 khall marcelr: good idea

12:33 tcohen fo-llow-up! fo-llow-up!
12:34 marcelr you like them heh, tomas
12:34 tcohen if it makes Koha::Logger get passed-qa... :-D
12:35 marcelr it would not be a blocker :)
12:35 but we should not log debug by default..
12:36 tcohen definitely
12:39 marcelr oops permissions..

12:55 cait xarragon: is your installation set up with unimarc?
12:55 xarragon: i think I'd suspect that sweden would use MARC21
12:56 JoshB joined #koha
12:59 mario joined #koha
13:02 xarragon cait: Ah, you are probably right. I remember not knowing how to configure it and just used some random default..
13:03 cait i think i'd fix that first
13:03 you system might not be properly set up
13:03 how did you install koha? packages or dev installation?
13:04 xarragon It is a dev installation. But it is kind of broken since I just wanted something up and running.
13:05 cait: I am testing out other people's patches, so having a proper working installation is probably a good idea.
13:05 cait the marc flavour is set at 2 steps during installation
13:05 when you run Makefile it will ask
13:05 you want to say marc21 there
13:05 it will be the default
13:05 the next is running the web installer
13:05 there you want to pick marc21 too
13:06 i think you might have some mismatch there maybe
13:06 xarragon I belive I reinstalled it and set it to unimarc at one point, so that is probably the error. is there any way to see the flavor in the db or installation files? I looked in koha-conf but saw nothing obious.
13:06 cait your installed frameworks/database setting might not match what zebra indexes
13:06 i think i'd rerun it to make sure
13:07 there is a pref, but that won't help you much
13:07 xarragon Anyway, I will nuke this install and make  clean one, there have been some db upgrade issues before anyway, so I need it clean.
13:07 7win 7
13:07 whupsie
13:18 cait xarragon: for explanation: unimarc is the marc flavour used in france and maybe some other counries, but most use marc21
13:19 xarragon: and there are quite big differences, so you want to have the right one for your data
13:19 xarragon: for example 200 is title in unimarc, 245 in marc21
13:19 xarragon: and then there is also NORMARC, which is more similar to MARC21 but not quite and used in norway
13:19 wahanui okay, cait.

13:26 tcohen marcelr: as you said, a first step. i'm happy too
13:26 cait the second meeting suggested to move the prefs to koha_conf.xml
13:26 hopefully it's in the logs

13:28 rocio joined #koha
13:31 tcohen cait: i read that
13:31 i'd go further
13:31 i'd like a set of preferences that describe explicitly the use case
13:32 something "I am set using HTTP but I'm behind a reverse proxy that puts SSL on top of me"
13:32 not only a hardcoded protocol
13:33 Stompro joined #koha
13:37 cait yougot me confused
13:37 i think we need something that is easy for the library
13:37 also you might be reachable via multiple domains... so they can set the preferred one?

13:38 cait out of my depth there... i am mostly hoping it will finally be more consistent

14:05 edveal joined #koha
14:06 xarragon cait: Ok, thanks. I knew my MARC framwork was b0rked, I plan to configure one Koha install to use the Swedish defaults, but I do not have them available at the time.
14:07 cait: I also discovered that if the database is not created when you run the web installer, you will get a somewhat unclear message about 'blah blah on unblessed reference', but the apache logs will tell the full story.
14:08 cait hm
14:08 wonder why it would not be created
14:08 mveron joined #koha
14:08 cait doens#t it check the name and permissions on one of the steps?
14:08 hi mveron :)
14:08 mveron hi cait :-)
14:09 cait gone for a bit.
14:09 finnnd
14:09 xarragon cait: I executed DROP DATABASE koha; before reloading the 127.0.1.1:8080 page.
14:09 cait to find a real late breakfast :)
14:10 hm, and didnÄt run create database koha after?
14:10 xarragon cait: yeah
14:10 cait: So it was my own fault.
14:10 cait hard to catch all possible things i guess
14:10 but it's what i ususally do
14:10 drop database... create database..
14:10 xarragon cait: I added it under the 'common errors' section to the wiki page I made: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]tup#Common_Errors
14:10 cait and yu don't need to rerun the permission command then
14:11 xarragon cait: Well, it is nothing wrong with Koha, just me being stupid. But I figured it might help someone, or possibly one could make the module output a slightly more clear message.

20:17 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=14334 normal, P5 - low, ---, mtompset, Needs Signoff , DBI fighting DBIx over Autocommit in tests
20:18 mtompset (the t/db_dependent/Letter.t one)
20:19 gmcharlt mtompset: yep, I think you're on the right track
20:19 mtompset I'm doing each one as a commit, so we can push them as fast as possible. tcohen ask for these ones first.

23:01 eythian hi
23:02 @later tell tcohen yes, it is. Looking into it now.
23:02 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
23:24 eythian @later tell tcohen I added a 15GB volume and moved /srv to that, it's happier now. Keep an eye on it though, make sure nothing is leaking space.
23:24 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.

23:27 eythian @later tell tcohen oh, I've also turned on auto-rebooting when updates require it, though I don't expect that's very common.
23:27 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
