13:21 magnuse hm, if plack is running and you restart the server, plack should start up again automatically, shouldn't it?
13:22 ashimema anyone on QA fancy picking up bug 23765
13:22 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=23765 major, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Signed Off , After TranslateNotices is set to 'Don't allow', email settings still show multiple languages
13:23 oleonard Complaining: Why can't we add to a patron list or do batch patron modification by borrowernumber?
13:35 magnuse because no one implemented it yet?
13:36 Joubu IIRC "borrowernumber is an internal id, librarians do not use it and do not need it"
13:37 but, well, yes, same for biblionumber and itemnumber ;)
13:37 oleonard Librarians might find themselves needing to batch update patron records without card numbers

14:40 Joubu it's failing randomly, it's its fault
14:42 ashimema grr.. I really don't understand why those fail on jenkins
14:42 I can't replicate them at all here

15:23 ashimema Nearly there on m8 😀
15:23 Thanks for all your hard work on that Joubu
15:24 Joubu Joonas around?
15:25 ashimema kohaputti
15:25 kohaputti Joubu, yup
15:25 ashimema 😀
15:27 kohaputti Joubu, your last comment on squashing that you just sent: I disagree since RM or QA can make a mistake so no one is reviewing that step then
15:28 Joubu mistake a squash?
15:28 kohaputti: I am the author of this guideline, so I am aware of it
15:29 When I fail QA a patch I prefer to see the diff of the requested changes instead of a new patch. So I think others prefer as well
15:29 kohaputti Joubu, sure, the QA/RM person can squash to non-related commits accidentally
15:29 Joubu review is much easier as it
15:29 kohaputti two non-related*
15:30 okay, I prefer to have one patch fully working that I can review so I don't have to keep up like "oh but this is fixed in the later follow-up".
15:30 ashimema I tend to agree.. I like to see followups so I can see the individual bits are done
15:30 Joubu unless you reviewed it maybe?
15:31 kohaputti Joubu, my brain can't process too many follow-ups
15:31 Joubu when I was RM I used to squash follow-up when history was not needed
15:31 ashimema I must admit, I don't often squash as RM.. I probably should more but I actually find it good to have the commits to see the thought process
15:31 Joubu and I am confident with QA and RM to squash when needed
15:32 ashimema I nearly always check out such a branch and look at the set as a whole in other tools
15:33 Joubu kohaputti: also, if you need a squashed view, you can still squash and git log, when squashed you cannot undo
15:33 basically what ashimema just said... too slow...
15:35 kohaputti okay, if you want to proceed with this then I think those commits that the author wants to squash should be marked explicitly so
15:35 like adding (squashme) (the same way we use (follow-up)).. Or maybe the RM/QA can check if the (follow-up) commits are from the same author
15:36 * ashimema is in school run, brb
15:38 kohaputti In other projects I have worked we also submit a v2, v3, etc. and it has worked really well. In the v2, v3 etc. of the patch set we attach a cover letter describing the changes since last revision
15:38 e.g. linux kernel
15:45 ashimema For larger sets in also more than happy for people to just link to a GitHub/gitlab URL.. I find those very helpful for such cases.. a quick bug comment in bugzilla when there's a change is all that's needed.
15:45 * ashimema is generally pretty pragmatic about these things...
15:45 laurence joined #koha
15:49 Joubu tcohen: docker-compose.mariadb9.yml means default MariaDB version for D9?
15:52 qalbaqali joined #koha
15:52 ashimema correct
15:52 we could change the names to reflect the actual db server version instead..
15:53 koha-jenkins Project Koha_Master_U18 build #469: STILL UNSTABLE in 1 hr 0 min: https://jenkins.koha-community[…]a_Master_U18/469/
15:53 qalbaqali Hi guys :) I am setting up koha on an ubuntu server. Looking at https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]ial_Configuration I want to have the URL to the library on 'library.com' and the admin panel to be on 'admin.library.com' for example. How would I set my koha-sites.conf variables to make this happen?
15:53 ashimema I wasn't sure which way to jump on that one.. at the time I was thinking we'd try to support the default db server versions for each os version we supported.. but I think we're better off looking ahead and at more db versions in general now..

16:02 ashimema oh nice.. well spotted
16:02 Joubu ha, no
16:02 it's actually the order
16:03 or both :)
16:09 well, maybe a cache issue actually

16:16 vfernandes it's possible to get a Koha systempreferences in some custom Javascript?

16:18 Joubu Try with MariaDB instead of MySQL
16:18 ashimema mysql14..
16:18 vfernandes thanks oleonard
16:19 oleonard vfernandes: Is it the OPAC you're asking about?
16:19 qalbaqali do I need to re install koha again? Or is there somewhere to change the db configs?
16:19 Joubu install mariadb-server, then restart koha-common, and try again
16:19 qalbaqali alright thanks :)
16:19 Joubu install mariadb-server, then restart koha-common, cross fingers, and try again
16:20 qalbaqali Joubu: is koha-common a process that I need to restart?
16:21 Joubu `service koha-common restart`
16:21 vfernandes oleanard any systempreference (opac or intranet related)
16:22 for example: get the value of CircControl
16:24 qalbaqali Joubu: Failed to restart koha-common.service: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files See system logs and 'systemctl status koha-common.service' for details.
16:24 vfernandes something like KOHA.preferences.CircControl

16:27 qalbaqali: follow this guide https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]ubuntu_-_packages at the end pick MariaDB instead of MySQL (section "MariaDB or MySQL")
16:28 qalbaqali alright thank you Joubu :) Ill give it a try tomorrow
16:28 appreciate the help
16:28 vfernandes I will go with that solution Joubu
16:28 qalbaqali The mysql fix is on the unstable?
16:29 Joubu the MySQL fix (from 23579) is not released yet
16:37 ashimema @later tell sev_q any chance you could take another look at bug 23767, I've added a followup to hopefully deal with the total available column now
16:37 huginn ashimema: The operation succeeded.

18:23 caroline_crazycatlady anyone from PTFS-E around?
18:23 it's a bit late...
18:51 any non-english-speaking library is using the freeform ill backend right now?
18:51 trying to figure out how to translate the interface...
19:02 cait joined #koha
19:05 * caroline_crazycatlady jumps on cait
19:05 caroline_crazycatlady ah! cait! do you use the ill module?
19:11 inlibro joined #koha
19:12 cait hehe
19:12 i hope one day we will
19:12 but we still need to build our own backend
19:12 i have tested a bit a while ago, if it's something generic... maybe i can help
19:12 * cait tries to get out from under caroline_crazycatlady
19:13 caroline_crazycatlady I'm just trying to figure out how to translate the interface
19:15 ugh, also, when I create a request, it doesn't appear in the list
19:20 JesseM joined #koha
19:22 cait hm
19:22 i think i have bad news about translation
19:22 they didn't make that possible
19:23 rangi oh yeah i  remember you pointing that out
19:23 cait a lot of strings come from the perl code of the module even...
19:23 caroline_crazycatlady hm, that sucks
19:23 cait and so all you can do is change your backend
19:23 yep
19:23 and I will be happy to have other people point that out for a change
19:23 because usually it's me
19:23 caroline_crazycatlady oh hi rangi!
19:23 rangi thanks for the submissions caroline_crazycatlady !
19:23 cait and I am getting very tired of being the bad guy
19:23 let's be a team of bad guys... maybe get motorcycles
19:23 rangi :0
19:24 caroline_crazycatlady rangi: hopefully, it will get me a trip to nz hehe!!
19:24 if I give a talk, Eric will have to send me ;)
19:24 rangi :-)
19:24 caroline_crazycatlady we could have badass librarian jackets
19:25 cait oh yep
19:26 rangi you could just have translation is important, and then translate it into tons of languages on your jacket :)
19:29 cait :)
19:30 caroline_crazycatlady blou is telling me we are going to change the backend so that it is translatable and submit it on the git... hopefully PTFS-E will accept the change
19:30 cait caroline_crazycatlady: that sounds great
19:30 rangi yay :)
19:30 cait i have been wondering if we could put at least what tcohen figured out on the wiki for the plugins *coughs*
19:31 because it hink they found a way to do ti for the planned paypal plugin
19:31 (moving it out of core code)
19:31 so other plugin writers could adopt it
19:33 caroline_crazycatlady I think the freeform ILL should be core to Koha and then the other more specific ones as plugins
19:33 it makes no sense to me that I have to do all kinds of technical stuff in the conf file to get a basic feature
19:33 oleonard cait: What do you mean, "what tcohen figured out on the wiki for the plugins" ?
19:36 caroline_crazycatlady I think she meant to write on the wiki what he figured out about the plugins
19:36 Marie-Luce joined #koha

19:45 magnuse cait++ for being the bad guy
19:46 cait magnuse: join our gang an dyou might get a cool jacket ;)
19:47 rangi has magnuse submitted a talk yet? I dont think so!
19:48 * magnuse needs a warm jacket
19:48 rangi its warm in nz
19:48 hint hint
19:48 :)
19:49 magnuse no talk submitted, but i might go anyway
19:49 hehe
19:50 rangi :)
19:52 we are thinking for sponsorhip ideas for this year, companies who send someone get an automatic listing as sponsored, so it could be librotech+2 if you and petter, bywater solutions+3 etc .. we'd rather have people come than spend money on sponsoring (both is cool too though hehe)
19:52 magnuse nice
19:52 anyone tried unattended-upgrades on a koha server?
19:53 rangi yep
19:53 but koha-common is blacklisted
19:53 on our production machines that is
19:53 magnuse yeah, that was what i was thinking of
19:53 rangi it works well
19:54 magnuse kewl!
19:54 on debian, right?
19:54 rangi yup
19:54 next thing is bring our servers up to buster
19:54 over the next few months
19:55 magnuse and buster is... 10?
19:55 rangi yup
19:56 we have most on 9 (stretch) but still a couple of jessie ones too
19:56 magnuse sometimes there is a package that updates a configfile that has been edited manually, and when you run apt-get update you get a question to display the diff, keep the old or replace with the new. how does unattended-upgrades handle that?
19:57 * magnuse has some servers on jessie too
19:58 rangi you can specify it's behaviour
19:58 with Dpkg::Options
19:58 https://raphaelhertzog.com/201[…]-managed-by-dpkg/
19:58 you can put these in your 50-unattended-upgrades file
19:59 like
19:59 Dpkg::Options { "--force-confdef"; "--force-confold";
19:59 }
19:59 we have our config under puppet
19:59 so we let unattend-upgrades change and puppet puts it back
20:00 magnuse cool
20:00 i use ansible
20:00 are you then notified about the changes to the configile? so you can adjust what puppet puts in place?
20:01 i'll read the article :-)
20:01 rangi :)

20:27 ashimema Hi
20:27 wahanui bidet, ashimema
20:28 cait hello
20:28 wahanui bidet, cait
20:29 ashimema Freeform should certainly be a core thing.. it goes t split out way bad during the original QA cycle if I remember correctly
20:29 Yes, translations are high on the agenda but no-one has stepped forward to fund them and the code was significantly more complex to add at the time of original submission
20:29 cait we shouldn't do that anymore
20:29 ashimema More than happy for people to jump on board though.. would love to see ILL flourish
20:29 cait it has always been a great pain to add translation afterwards for people
20:30 for new devs... let's not accept stuff without being translatable anymore please
20:30 magnuse +1
20:30 ashimema Generic send and freeform backend should be merged and put in core
20:30 cait i guess we are hurt more than ohters
20:30 ashimema Well.. we simply wouldn't have been able to submit the code with translation code in it
20:30 cait i can cheat someties for German/English... but with the many languages we use now for the Goethe Institute libraires I stand no chance
20:30 ashimema We already self funding 90% of the development
20:31 cait too late for ILL - just for the future
20:32 ashimema Anywho.. let's not argue that.. it's been in core for a long time now and we're happy to work on adding translatability
20:32 As for plugins and backends..
20:34 I'm working with tcohen to help move those forward.. we've already added the koha2koha backend into the gitlab repo and he's done some work to port it to working as a plugin.  I intend to write a mail soon to promote that we were going to 'donate' our code as the foundation for a community supported effort for that and the freeform backends as they seem to fit well.. we will of course continue to contribute to them.. included translations
20:34 Still working out how to do that right now
20:36 So.. yes, we will certainly accept merge requests
20:38 * ashimema can only fight battles on so many fronts at a time I'm afraid..
20:53 magnuse ashimema++
20:56 * ashimema hopes he didn't sound too grumpy there.. a tad tired
20:59 caroline_crazycatlady you did sound grumpy, but it's understandable

22:14 caroline_crazycatlady not too bad, and you?
22:14 alexbuckley yeah I am good thanks, looking forward to summer :)
22:15 caroline_crazycatlady heh! just got our first snowstorm here :)
22:16 alexbuckley ooo hopefully it carries on so you get a lovely white christmas :)
22:17 I have a question you know in the 'Manage numbering patterns' page in the Serials module, you have three different 'columns' x,y, and z does that mean you are restricted to only 3 different peices of data in a numbering pattern? e.g. I can add issue number, vol number, year but what if I wanted to add another value
22:18 if you're not sure all good, just interested if you can add to the number of data values in a numbering pattern
22:18 caroline_crazycatlady you have to add it manually when you receive the item
