08:42 nlegrand אַ גוט יאָר!
08:42 cait hebrew?
08:43 nlegrand yiddish :)
08:43 a gut yor!
08:43 cait :)
08:43 nlegrand It's a greeting for the new year and also everyday ^^
08:45 cait a  good new year to you too :)
08:45 what's the year right now?
08:46 nlegrand 5780 since the 30 september 2019
08:47 speaking about years, it's something a bit hard to do for us in Koha right now, because the mapped unimarc field is the field that print the year as it is written in the books.
08:48 So as an oriental library we have all the calendar system of the world and cannot really sort by date.
08:48 magnuse nlegrand: awesome! :-)
08:48 nlegrand There is a standart date in the coded areas we don't know how to extract it to apply it to a koha field
08:50 and right in january, the french university libraries are supposed to map a new field to the koha field without correcting all the preceding fields.
08:50 Biblibre and a lot of other vendors are complaining ^^
08:51 ashimema I'm not sure I followed that fully..
08:51 but it sounds resolvable by code to me..
08:52 nlegrand My motto is: “never mess with date” and everytime I see someone doing a patch on dates or holidays I'm thinking “how brave he is” or just “wow”.
08:52 ashimema: ho certainly, but have you seen my motto ;D
08:52 cait i think it's not that bad with the calendar
08:52 search in the records is a different matter
08:52 what marc21 one does is sort on the date in 008
08:52 ashimema hehe
08:52 cait which is a standardized date
08:53 and then the publication date /copyright date mess is handled in the 260/264 (rda)
08:53 magnuse marc is a mess
08:53 cait so in 008 you'd have a sortable date... not sure if unimarc has something equivalent
08:53 ashimema are there any standard routines for getting a standardised date from the various localised dates?
08:53 cait actuaqlly i think this bit makes sense... but in general i agree
08:54 we are lucky there - the 'standard year' is part of the union catalog cataloguing rules so 008 is set nicely
08:54 and they can also add the hebrew years for display
08:56 ashimema for the display field.. is there a part of the field which states what calendar it's using?
08:56 cait not sure how htis is handled in marc
08:56 nlegrand ashimema: it'll be very hard to implement. We've got dates in more than thirty hundred languages, with almost every writting system of the world, and most of those dates are written in a non standard way.
08:57 ashimema ouch
08:57 good luck with that ;)
08:59 nlegrand :)
08:59 kohaputti nlegrand, are you able to write the dates in one way and then translate the dates to other calendar systems?
08:59 fridolin joined #koha
09:00 kohaputti like is it possible to translate to all calendar systems you use from one calendar system
09:00 ashimema i imagine it's the other way around kohaputti
09:01 I imagine cataloguers are getting dates from books and those dates are localized.. so they want to enter the localised date and have it magically populate both the localised and standardised fields
09:01 with the standardised one going through a conversion
09:02 but.. it sounds like there are waaaay too many variations to get it right
09:02 cait i don't think marc lends to that
09:04 ashimema indeed
09:06 nlegrand kohaputti: the librarian write the gregorian publication date in zone 100: http://documentation.abes.fr/s[…]nmb/zones/100.htm
09:07 note this is note standard UNIMARC, it is more “frenchuniversitylibrariesMARC” or “ABESMARC”
09:08 we should extract just part of this field to map it to koha publication date.
09:10 inlibro joined #koha
09:12 nlegrand It's always a wonder to me when the ABES (kind of authority for cataloguing in the french university libraries) notifies us practices to be UNIMARC compliant when we are UNIMARC non compliant in almost everyzone :D
09:18 magnuse is MARC one of the most flexible standards in existence?

09:25 paul_p joined #koha
09:29 nlegrand magnuse: well I've worked with TEI which is not a standard but only “guidelines” and which everyone thinks it has the same virtues a standard has. Pretty confusing.
09:41 magnuse nlegrand: sounds like fun!
09:42 talljoy joined #koha
09:45 magnuse hm, where are the guidelines on splitting into several patches for database updates etc?
09:50 Joubu it's not really a guideline, not sure it's enforced by QA. It is more for readability if the patch is big
09:51 the thing to not add is the schema changes, they should not be provided, or in a separate patch
10:02 magnuse ah, ok, this thing is not so big, so i'll do one patch, sans schema changes
10:02 Joubu++
10:02 after lunch, that is...
10:10 inlibro joined #koha
10:15 ashimema as RM I don't worry too much.. having a distinct patch for schema changes helps me in so much as it's a reminder to reubild the schema.. but in general I have scripts that remind me to do DB updates stuff which are triggered by the present of files in atomicupdate or changes to the standard sql files..
10:16 whenever the script alerts me to those changes I run through the process of doing the DB and Schema updates as required..
10:16 regardles of how they were comitted in the first place
10:46 andreashm joined #koha
11:11 inlibro joined #koha
11:12 magnuse clever ashimema
11:15 ashimema: how about this: https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]DBIC_schema_files "Booleans have to be annotated as booleans in the schema files." Do you do that too?
11:16 ashimema good question
11:16 I should.. but I'm not in the best habbits for it.. find it easy to forget :(
11:16 khall joined #koha
11:17 ashimema I believe we have tests to catch it though unless I'm mistaken.. I've certainly added them in followups a few times when i've forgotten so something must be alerting me to my mistake ;)
11:21 magnuse looks like Itemtype.pm has one boolean that is not flagged
11:21 and i am adding two more
11:28 ashimema thanks for flagging it
11:29 Joubu there is a QA test for that
11:29 ashimema :)
11:35 paxed there doesn't seem to be a consensus in kohastructure.sql whether a boolean is a tinyint(1) or a BOOLEAN
11:38 khall joined #koha
11:38 ashimema there's at least one bug regarding that..
11:38 it was in discussion but I thought we agreed on an approach
11:39 tcohen and Joubu were involved.. as was I
11:39 I think I prefered tinyint(1) becuase BOOLEAN isn't standard SQL
11:39 but I can't remember what the QA script fires on.. we also talked about requiring the kohastrucutre file to be commented
11:40 Joubu must be defined as tinyint(1) in the DB structure, then boolean in the schema file
11:41 magnuse https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]s#SQL12:_Booleans
11:42 ashimema that's the one
11:42 squash all the bugs.. :)
11:42 magnuse hehe
11:43 * magnuse hopes bug 22833 is ok
11:43 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=22833 normal, P5 - low, ---, magnus, Needs Signoff , Block suspend and cancel on holds
11:43 paxed i guess the QA tools don't check the db structure for booleans
11:45 ashimema they check for changes in commits
11:45 so.. pre-existing stuff isn't caught
11:45 I did think we'd agreed to go back and fix them.. and thought tcohen had volunteered but I can't see any bug for it
11:46 so it's likely fallen off somone's file
11:46 be a nice quick win for an academy bug perhaps..
11:46 fancy reporting it paxed?
11:46 paxed ashimema: okay.
11:47 ashimema thanks dude :)

11:58 we should have a bug squashing day some time soon...
11:58 there's plenty of low hanging fruit in the majors list.. stuff that's pretty easy to fix or triage down in status.
12:02 khall_ joined #koha
12:05 Joubu bug 24217, really...
12:05 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=24217 major, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Needs Signoff , use Modern::Perl for modules
12:07 ashimema wow
12:07 surprised that's not done
12:09 Joubu me too!
12:09 there are some left
12:09 ashimema having said that.. I've always advocted we should specify a year ;)
12:10 in theory we still force ourselves to support perl 5.10 (which I don't like at all)
12:10 so... for that we should limit ourselve to `use Modern::Perl '2010';`
12:11 inlibro joined #koha
12:11 ashimema I have long advocated we upgrade our minimum perl version to 5.20 (debian 8 standard).. but dcook kicks it back as he wants ancient SUSE support
12:12 with D8 coming to end of life we could even be so bold as to require 5.24
12:15 Joubu we are 15 years behind without strict. Start with strict, fix the warnings, then ... whatever you want :)
12:16 paxed anyone else annoyed how bugzilla wraps bug change notification text fields to 20 chars?
12:16 like, who reads emails in fixed-width font?
12:20 Joubu paxed: not sure I understand what you mean. Do you have an example? Did you modify the default values in your preferences?
12:21 oleonard joined #koha
12:21 oleonard Hi all
12:21 magnuse there are some mails from bugzilla that tries to display stuff in two columns, to show what was changed. those are pretty hard to read...
12:21 paxed Joubu: what magnuse said
12:22 magnuse i love dcook, but i think maybe we should outnumber/outvote them in the question of minimum perl version...
12:22 Joubu ha, the table with remove/added/what
12:23 ashimema I can't find the bug now
12:23 Joubu IIRC that's an improvement, before we received 1 mail per line in the table :)
12:23 ashimema but I gave up on it
12:23 paxed Joubu: i changed it on a bugz instance i maintain to display the text like "summary: new summary (WAS: old summary)" instead of two columns
12:24 Joubu paxed: is it an admin preference?
12:25 or you patched the code?

12:27 wynn1212 Hi! Can I ask questions about koha problem here?
12:28 oleonard This is the place wynn1212
12:28 Shaune_UKS joined #koha
12:28 ashimema sorry Joubu.. back at you on bug 24217
12:28 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=24217 major, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Failed QA , use Modern::Perl for modules
12:30 Joubu ashimema: there is strict and warnings
12:31 I can change the title to "enable strict" :)
12:32 ashimema why be inconsistent?
12:32 why not whilst we're here update all cases?
12:32 wynn1212 I have "Patron relationship problems" in "System information" on koha 19.11.00.000
12:33 Joubu yes, we could. But really here is just the need to have strict "everywhere"
12:33 ashimema I've just submitted a patch to make the warning clearer for that wynn1212
12:34 Fair enough Joubu
12:34 norman joined #koha
12:35 wynn1212 ashimema: So It's safe to ignore?
12:35 ashimema ish
12:35 it won't cause any major issues for you
12:35 but is worth being aware of
12:35 the error message will be clearer on release of 19.11.01 once my patch is pushed
12:36 what it really means is
12:36 you have borrowers with a relationship which doesn't match any of the relationships in the system preference
12:36 ..
12:37 so, if you have mother|father|uncle in your system preference.. but you've somehow managed to add a user with a relationship of 'aunt' to your system.. the warning will show and the list will just contain 'aunt' instead of ARRAY(103fj29dj).
12:37 the 'fix' is to then decide whether 'aunt' is valid and add it to the system preference..
12:37 or..
12:37 decide aunt isn't valid and find the user with that relationship and update it to use one of your allowed values.
12:37 hope that helps
12:39 wynn1212 joined #koha
12:40 wynn1212 Ok. Thanks ashimema!
12:40 ashimema :)
12:40 glad to have been of service
12:41 you're on a very shiny new release there. keep in touch if you find bugs. 😉 I'm happy to fix them as fast as we find them
12:42 wynn1212 By now it just show nothing on patron relationship problems.
12:42 But anyway. Thank's for your help!

14:10 ashimema #info 19.11 have been branched and master is now the working version for the next feature release, 20.05
14:11 #info As is the pattern, we will be sticking to bugfixes only up until the end of the month, but then I hope to start pushing enhancements early January, focusing on the more experimental one's first to give us a large a section of the release cycle to fix any subsequent bugs before release.

14:12 yup, that's on my list oleonard
14:13 caroline_catlady #info Caroline Cyr La Rose, inlibro
14:13 ashimema I hope to send out a mail over xmas asking people to line up their ducks for January pushes... setting out some bugs I hope to focus on and setting some rough deadlines to see them moving.
14:14 we don't have any rmaints? present do we :(
14:14 davidnind #info koha-US is planning an online conference (Koha-a-thon) for 24 April, call for talks closes 10 January

14:16 heh, that!
14:16 ashimema hackfest is in the community calendar :)
14:16 shall I add some of the other events?
14:16 Joubu yup
14:17 jzairo some more information for koha-US and the kohathon (they changed the name) to make it easier https://bywatersolutions.com/n[…]all-for-proposals
14:19 ashimema added it to the community calendar

14:20 davidnind #info the 3rd Koha Pakistan International Conference is 16-18 April 2020 http://2020.kohapakistan.org/
14:20 (sorry, a bit slow!)
14:21 tcohen hola
14:21 sorry
14:21 ashimema #info I've discussed with a few people the prospect of adding an alternative to IRC as it seems to be a barrier to entry for some.
14:22 Joubu source? :)
14:23 ashimema #info After a little research I'm proposing the creation of a rocket.chat server (I'll try to take on setting one up for a trial) and having it bridge to the existing IRC room.
14:23 sources.. our customers, bywater customers, various developers I've spoken to
14:24 Joubu they said that IRC is a barrier to entry?
14:24 ashimema I'm interested in hearing opinions in this public forum
14:24 oleonard I agree that IRC is a barrier to entry
14:25 ashimema_ joined #koha
14:25 oleonard I think rocket.chat looks very interesting

14:25 tcohen Joubu: http://cbs-news.us/2019/12/11/[…]3ZDBlOWQ2X3ouanBn
14:26 caroline_catlady tcohen: lol! XD
14:26 #link https://rocket.chat/
14:26 davidnind I think Catalyst chose it for use internally - post from 2016 https://www.catalyst.net.nz/bl[…]leeding-edge-chat
14:27 not sure whether things have changed..
14:27 oleonard I'll vote to approve any chat solution which will tell me the weather
14:27 ashimema we've already lost a number of developers from the irc space to slack.. just saying ;)
14:27 davidnind yeah weather!
14:28 caroline_catlady would bots still work?
14:28 Joubu @wunder Madrid
14:28 caroline_catlady I would miss wahanui saying random things
14:28 huginn Joubu: Error: Failed to load Wunderground API. Check the logs for more information.
14:28 ashimema that's the main reason i want to bridge it to the irc channel, at least in the short term.. so we can continue to use the existing bots
14:28 Joubu stupid bots, change bots
14:29 ashimema I certainly don't want to cut off existing workflows.. just add an option for less technically adept people
14:29 Joubu ashimema: lost developers? who?
14:29 tcohen has a link for that I guess
14:29 :)
14:30 ashimema irc isn't 'that' technical to be honest.. but it looks outdated to many and doesn't support allot of the modern communication expectations.
14:30 tcohen I do
14:30 ashimema well.. I often poke people who are missing via slack to get them to come here.. khall is a good example
14:30 caroline_catlady gifs ftw ;)
14:30 Joubu I am not against the idea, but the reasons are not the good ones in my opinion
14:30 khall: you are here, right?
14:31 ashimema ok.. what would be a good reason then Joubu
14:31 oleonard I think there's no reason at all not to give rocket.chat a try if ashimema is willing to spend some time on it
14:31 ashimema I can't see a better reason than to enable more people to join the community.
14:31 but hey
14:31 oleonard The rocket.chat solution is designed specifically to continue IRC support
14:31 Joubu paste/videoconf/code sharing in the same app
14:31 for instance
14:32 but "too complicate" and "we lost developers" sound wrong to me
14:32 ashimema and those are all the things I mean by 'but it looks outdated to many and doesn't support allot of the modern communication expectations.'
14:32 rocket.chat support all of those
14:32 Faadil joined #koha
14:33 oleonard Joubu: What is your argument for not trying rocket.chat?
14:33 ashimema moving on.. there seems to be no hard objections so I'll spend a little time getting something setup for a trial.
14:33 Joubu oleonard: I never said that. I am not the one who is trying to convince people
14:34 ashimema: what's the proposal then?
14:34 I mean, who, when, where?
14:34 oleonard Joubu: You've offered only arguments against the idea, none in support of the status quo
14:34 ashimema #action ashimema is going to investigate setting up a bridged rocket.chat server to allow a more modern form of instance communication for the community.
14:34 Joubu I guess we will want to host it somewhere
14:35 ashimema to start with I was going to personally host it and see what sort of adoption it gets
14:35 magnuse if ptfse can't host it i think libriotech can (on linode)
14:35 ashimema I'm suggesting a lightweight trial of it to start with
14:36 Joubu oleonard: I did not say I was against the idea, sorry if it is what has been understood
14:37 not*
14:37 ashimema OK.. I think we can probably move onto my next controvertial topic ;)
14:37 oh.. actually, the next one isn't controvertial
14:37 Joubu yes it is, you will need to setup a date
14:37 ashimema #topic Shall we bring back an internation bug squashing day?
14:37 Topic for #koha is now Shall we bring back an internation bug squashing day? (Meeting topic: General IRC meeting 11 December 2019)
14:37 ashimema haha..
14:37 who used to take on organising them.. I don't remember?
14:38 magnuse i did, back in the day
14:38 ashimema but.. I'd like to suggest we get one in the diary and publicise it..
14:38 I'm all about trying to get more people looking at bugzilla and helping each other move bugs on at the moment.. such a day seems like a good idea
14:39 magnuse yup, worth a try
14:40 ashimema I'm thinking early to mid january for a rough date.. once xmas is someone out of the way but whilst people are hopefully fresh and rested still from the holidays
14:40 davidnind https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]ug_squashing_days
14:40 ashimema s/someone/somewhat
14:40 davidnind excellent idea!
14:40 oleonard When is Catalyst Academy? Anyone know?
14:40 * ashimema was about to ask that next :)
14:41 davidnind is in January
14:41 cait sorry for missing the meeting... was in another lengthy meeting
14:41 ashimema magnuse do you have any recollection as to whether end of week or beggining generally got mroe attendance?
14:41 we're still going cait
14:42 just working out the logistics of organising a bug squashing day
14:42 davidnind 6-17th January, last week is the project week where they work on projects https://www.catalyst.net.nz/open-source-academy
14:42 ashimema currently I have 10th Jan in my head as a proposal

14:43 cait ah nice
14:43 i like bug squashing :)
14:43 ashimema aha..
14:43 perhaps delay to 17 or 16th perhaps then...
14:43 cait could we have a december bug sqhash?
14:43 ashimema that would be a nice way to make sure we pick off at least a few academy bugs
14:43 cait as we are focusing on bugs at the moment until beginning of january
14:43 we can put little christmas hats on the bugs...
14:44 ashimema lol
14:44 I'm thinking I'll have a triaging session during december ready to get action in a squashing day early Jan
14:44 my gut says allot of people are already winding down for xmas and it's a bit late to organise a gbsd this month
14:45 magnuse ashimema: nah, can't say i do
14:45 ashimema I may be wrong.. let me know :)
14:45 magnuse yeah, i'd say january is better

14:47 caroline_catlady I will make sure our staff is on it
14:47 * ashimema tihnks we should volunteer magnuse to organise it as he's running away now..

14:48 ashimema moving onto my last controvertial topic..
14:49 #topic Are we happy with the existing release process and cycle?
14:49 Topic for #koha is now Are we happy with the existing release process and cycle? (Meeting topic: General IRC meeting 11 December 2019)
14:49 ashimema Broad question I wanted to raise to get wider audience
14:49 lots of chatter on WhatsApp and in Twitter land after verious acquisitions having taking place this month and the ever increasing focus on Folio
14:50 do we think as a community we are remaining competative or do we need to make any changes to try and continue to be
14:50 Faadil joined #koha
14:50 oleonard I'm concerned that the `fail fast, experiment and stabilize` process won't have time enough for the stabilize step if we speed things up
14:50 ashimema I have my own concerns which I'm sure people have heard before
14:51 well.. I'm not really envisaging much change this cycle really.. it's more of a wider question and setting up idea's and plans for subsquent cycles
14:51 georgew joined #koha
14:52 ashimema Ubuntu for example has a flip/flop cycle which spans 12 months.. their two releases a year have an experimental 6 months followed by a stabalisation 6 months
14:52 caroline_catlady I know here (and I think in most support companies?) we only upgrade every 2 versions (for us it's every .05)
14:53 ashimema mm.. so I think we still need some sort of long term support idea
14:53 cait we are on the .11
14:53 talljoy we upgrade every release on the point .06 usually
14:53 ashimema but do we need to support 3 versions simultaneosly?
14:53 cait or at least at the moment target those
14:54 ashimema it's allot to ask to find 3 rmaints every 6  months
14:54 cait i think I could imagine an LTS version
14:54 but having one version for 1.5 years is good
14:54 ashimema and.. are the .05/.06 releases actually stable if the majority of users aren't looking at a release until that point..
14:54 i.e are we not just shifting the bugs down
14:55 wizzyrea #info liz rea
14:56 * ashimema isn't being deliberately obtuse.. I just want to get opinions
14:56 TGoat joined #koha
14:56 davidnind have some sort of survey - get the views of support providers, self-hosters, etc
14:56 talljoy #info Joy Nelson
14:56 caroline_catlady I'm just wondering what would be the repercussions of changing the cuycle
14:56 ashimema I've worked in a few different cycles over the years and they all have their own benefits and problems
14:56 Faadil joined #koha
14:56 talljoy most bugs are fixed in .03 and .04 of every release.  but i'm not sure when they are actually found to be included in those stable point releases
14:57 oleonard davidnind++
14:57 * talljoy has graphs
14:57 davidnind tricky bit might be the actual questions to ask
14:57 cait talljoy: can you share? it sounds interesting
14:57 andrew joined #koha
14:57 ashimema be interested in seeing those graphs talljoy
14:57 cait I have a feeling that our latest 2 have been a bit ... less stable
14:57 talljoy i can clean up a bit and send on the list.  yes!
14:57 ashimema yeah.. hense the open floor here.. so I have some help coming up with questions ;)
14:57 talljoy i wanted to dig a big deeper if i can and may need khall to help with the pulling data from bz
14:58 cait talljoy++ thx!
14:58 ashimema I have stats for numbers of bugs fixed at various points in cycles.. the general trend I've spotted is that bugs are getting reported later
14:58 dani joined #koha
14:58 cait we have some early adopters
14:58 talljoy do you have data on who is reporting those bugs ashimema ?
14:58 ashimema also.. the gap between being reported and being fixed varies allot
14:58 cait but tbh we sit it out pretty long too - preparation takes a while as well, as we have to write up Gemran resoruces etc. too
14:59 ashimema not in a particularly meaningful format yet no..
14:59 would be happy to collaborate on picking out some stats..
14:59 talljoy we have played with the idea of getting 'really early' adopters to help flush bugs.  i.e. roll a 20.01 and get bugs fixed in the 20.05
14:59 that's just us internally 'spit-balling'
14:59 ashimema we certainly have two types of customer here.. those who want their new feature asap..
14:59 talljoy <and paid for it too>
14:59 ashimema and those who want stability over functionality and want to wait 2 years
15:00 cait yeah, i think the might be the motivation to go on a new verson - there are features needed/wanted
15:00 I think there might be benefits of having a regular LTS, but also needs a maintainer
15:00 talljoy: are you doing 1 or 2 updates a year?
15:00 talljoy 2
15:01 cait :)
15:01 talljoy our goal is to make upgrades a 'non issue' for our libraries
15:01 not always successful, but we try!
15:01 ashimema so.. the best proposal I've spitballed here is to have two tracks.. a LTS which gets a feature update once every 18 months or something like that.. and is maintained with bugfixes only throughout it's life
15:01 dani joined #koha
15:01 ashimema and a continious integration track which is release monthly and contains bugfixes and new feature as soon as they're ready
15:01 cait hm
15:01 talljoy CI for the win!
15:02 cait wonder if there is some middle gruond to be found
15:02 ashimema CI + CD
15:02 cait between those 2
15:02 ashimema CD is what all the 'big boys' are moving too.. I fear if we don't offer it we will loose out.
15:02 talljoy stay a couple of tracks back but a couple ahead of LTS?
15:02 cait maybe longer support but a big one every year instead of 18 months
15:03 ashimema CI = Continious Integration (we do this with Jenkins).. CD = Continious Deployment (monthly releases would be close to this)
15:03 talljoy yearly does make a bit more sense from a library's perspective.  "we upgrade every year in August" for example
15:03 cait i think biblibre and us target once a year for update, so that would be nice to maintain, monthly with translations and everything woudl be too much
15:03 talljoy We are moving towards CD as much as we can.
15:04 that's what the U.S. market is about now.
15:04 ashimema how do you do CD if you only upgrade once a year?
15:04 talljoy we do 2x a year with monthly point release upgrades
15:05 we are upgrading continually, but it is a logistical problem for us.
15:05 eythian CD is not monthly, CD is more like every commit gets deployed
15:05 talljoy right
15:05 ashimema yeah, it isn't easy
15:05 talljoy that's more what we're aiming for.
15:05 lukeG joined #koha
15:05 cait bywater is the biggest player right now - I think it makes sense, but for the smaller ones might be harder to keep that pace
15:05 talljoy i mean, aim high, right?
15:05 ashimema indeed.. CD is exactly what eythian said..
15:05 cait especially if you don't have in-house devs for hotfixing
15:05 ashimema I don't think we're ready for that yet.. but I'd love to see it happen
15:05 talljoy true.
15:05 cait it woudl never work for translations
15:05 caroline_catlady + docs and translations
15:06 cait yep
15:06 talljoy cait i like your yearly LTS idea instead of 18 months
15:06 eythian (having monthly/nightly use-at-your-own-risk auto snapshot releases could be an easy approach too.)
15:06 ashimema but I don think monthly release could be possible
15:06 we already do such a scheme for rmaint
15:06 well.. we do have the nightly build bot which builds package nightly
15:06 so you 'can' do watch that
15:07 Joubu I don't think our codebase is robust enough to provide a (relatively) master-based stable release every month
15:07 Or I did not get what you are talking about
15:07 talljoy we are not yet brave enough to put our libraries on master.  so the reality is that we are expecting a modified CI/CD pipeline
15:07 ashimema it may not be.. but shouldn't we be asking the question of "why isn't it" ;)
15:07 paul_p_ joined #koha
15:07 talljoy for us internally.  We will adapt to what the community does.  This is just input about what is going on in our heads
15:08 ashimema I believe if we set out a goal to get there, we could improve out practice over a few cycle to go from 6 monthly feature releases down to 3 monthly, then monthly perhaps
15:09 caroline_catlady we just went through the upgrades with our clients and while it was not nightmarish, there were still bugs in 19.05.04
15:09 ashimema it's just about getting better at spotting and fixing bugs quicker
15:09 talljoy yes.
15:09 kidclamp yeah, smaller bites, less bugs, found faster
15:09 caroline_catlady and the preparation is long too, I can't imagine doing this more often
15:09 talljoy that is what our educators say also!
15:09 ashimema I have an issue with code going in, then often not getting used in real life for nearly 18 months and then trying to remember what I was doing all that time ago to fix a bug in it is really hard
15:09 kidclamp we have been discussing that with trainers to figure out a different model
15:10 oleonard That's a good point ashimema
15:10 kellym yes @caroline_catlady, it would get a bit dicey!
15:10 talljoy ashimema, we also have that issue.  along with devs that folks pay for that they don't see for 6-12 months
15:10 ashimema totally.. I'm a dev.... we deffo need to get opinions from users, trainers and inf people
15:10 yup
15:11 kellym but good question, how far in advance would release notes come prior to doing the upgrade ?
15:11 kidclamp for devs too I like the idea of not having a 6 month window of missing getting a dev in
15:11 ashimema well.. it sounds like we certianly have the apetite to consider alternatives at least
15:11 TGoat don't forget the RM's to whom this will all fall on
15:11 ashimema we just need to work out what those are
15:11 calire left #koha
15:11 inlibro joined #koha
15:12 ashimema it doesn't really all fall on the RM..
15:12 we still have a SO/QA process.. and releaseing is pretty streamlined already in reality
15:12 davidnind kellym: has ideas about release notes vs what's new
15:12 ashimema we could do better on the packaging front I think
15:12 translation and documentation need thought though..
15:13 caroline_catlady release notes, what's new and what you have to change
15:13 ashimema but then.. perhaps they would also benefit from a smaller amount to do each month rather than a mamoth task once every 6 months
15:13 caroline_catlady like the fines reports for 19.05
15:13 davidnind kellym: release notes are continuous https://gitlab.com/koha-commun[…]oha-release-notes
15:14 ashimema indeed kellym
15:15 cait please keep in mind that not all people are using Koha in English
15:15 we need to put more work in
15:15 caroline_catlady database changes are all fine and good, but they f up a bunch of stuff when we upgrade (sorry for the big words I just spent a whole day redoing circ rules for 20+ clients)
15:15 kellym yes, so would it be beneficial to produce a what’s new outside of a release notes doc? showing only features?
15:15 cait we also have things specific to our environment that need to be tested... we need an option for slower updates too
15:15 talljoy good point cait.  bag mentioned this in our meeting yesterday as an important consideration
15:15 cait we need to make our own documentation etc. it's a big task for smaller teams
15:15 and we don#t have educators... we are all in one people
15:15 TGoat just thinking..  assuming that our developer numbers stay strong and we have a willing pool of RM's
15:16 wizzyrea I really think a feature flagging function in Koha would be great
15:16 ashimema experienced dev numbers aren't all that strong at the moment.. or rather volunteers to do the rmaint roles aren't at least
15:16 caroline_catlady I agree cait we are two who do tests and docs here and it's a lot
15:16 ashimema that's part of what braught me to this set of questions
15:16 davidnind kellym: would like to do that - what's new summary, details in documentation portal/manual
15:17 cait in theory we are 4... but we also do migrations /project work all the time
15:17 * wizzyrea whispers "feature flagging in the interface..."
15:17 caroline_catlady davidnind++
15:17 kidclamp so I think this is good discussion, but maybe we need to think a bit and come back with a clearer idea of the issue we are solving
15:17 ashimema I've been slowly working on a changelog type approach davidnind kellym
15:17 wizzyrea like slaaack does with the little present
15:17 ashimema our release notes aren't all that great
15:17 kidclamp like collect thoughts on wiki and in the mailing list?
15:17 ashimema feature flagging is good
15:17 talljoy it does feel like we need a bit more clarification on the needs of community/libraries/dev before deciding on what some specifics are
15:18 cait we pick and translate from them, they are mostly useful for people like us i guess
15:18 we pick what our libraries use
15:18 not every library loves CD... it could also be a selling poit to offer different clearly defined routs
15:18 ashimema How about I try to summarise what we've said today on a wiki page and invite comment via the lists
15:18 cait not force people to do updates often
15:18 or not get bugs fixed/security fixes
15:19 ashimema this has served it's purpose.. it's got people thinking and talking about it :)
15:19 kellym yes @davidnind highlight and direct to more information.  I love @wizzyrea idea- even an added note on the news tools could be useful.
15:19 davidnind balance between a cloud like service controlled by one vendor with continuous deployment  vs multiple providers, supported versions and stability for clients/libraries
15:19 georgew I was late to the meeting and then I've had to jump in and out while dealing with some other issues, but I think libraries would definitely want some input on these release issues
15:19 wizzyrea ubuntu does this well, with LTS and "I like punishment" releases
15:19 cait kellym: translation issues :(
15:19 kellym ah yes!  We did talk about that earlier! @cait
15:20 cait maybe solvable, but to keep in mind
15:20 ashimema wizzyrea.. it's the Ubuntu LTS + Punishment model I'm really trying to suggest ;)
15:20 georgew koha-US is having a meeting today and I'll bring this issue up and see if I can get some library peopel to read the minutes so they know what's going on
15:20 talljoy ashimema i would like a synopsis and some suggested steps forward.
15:20 wizzyrea I figured :)
15:20 ashimema ok
15:21 #action ashimema will summarise the release cycle discussion on a wiki page and invite people to contribute/comment via as many comms methods as he can muster.
15:22 talljoy ashimema++
15:22 kellym @ashimema++
15:22 huginn kellym: downloading the Perl source
15:22 ashimema thanks everyone.. a really good discussion I feel
15:22 right.. last topic then
15:22 #topic Time of next meeting
15:22 Topic for #koha is now Time of next meeting (Meeting topic: General IRC meeting 11 December 2019)
15:23 ashimema the later time but same date next month?
15:23 does the 8th work for people?
15:23 davidnind +1
15:23 talljoy yes
15:23 +1
15:23 oleonard +1
15:24 caroline_catlady ok
15:24 cait +1
15:24 ashimema davidnind.. remind me what time works well for NZ
15:25 davidnind daytime..:)
15:25 ashimema 20:00 UTC?
15:25 that's 09::00 Wellington and 15:00 New York
15:26 * ashimema isn't sure why he picked new york.. america spans too many time zones ;)
15:26 davidnind 20:00 (9 am is good), but not sure how ot suits others
15:26 caroline_catlady 20 UTC is good for east coast
15:26 oleonard '15:00 Athens, OH' is how most Americans refer to it I think
15:27 ashimema #info Next meeting: 8 January 2020, 20 UTC
15:27 brill.. we have a winner :)

15:27 ashimema thanks everyone, good meeting, lots discussed
15:27 caroline_catlady ashimema++ for bringin up controversial topics :)
15:27 davidnind ashimema++
15:28 cait ashimema++
15:29 ashimema hehe.. always a pleasure
15:29 hopefully people know by now I generally just want opinions and to see the community flourish.. so I get away with asking hard questions :)
15:29 oleonard Okay let's be honest: Someone shook the Slack tree to get all the ByWater folks to fall out, right?
15:30 ashimema they might have done ;)
15:35 * kidclamp narrows eyes at oleonard
15:36 oleonard kidclamp: Just bolstering ashimema's argument for a sexier chat system :D
15:38 ashimema hehe
15:39 * eythian would like to discourage forcing people to use a proprietary system like slack in order to work on a free software project.
15:39 * talljoy whistles innocently
15:40 caroline_catlady then make the open options sexier
15:40 ashimema rocket chat is allot sexier than irc ;)
15:40 and not far behind slack in my opinion
15:40 eythian IRC is as nice as you want it to be.
15:40 ashimema and.. it federates
15:40 caroline_catlady It looks like it, but I've never used it
15:41 I've yet to find a sexy irc client
15:41 ashimema so each of the support companies could host their own for internal chat and still connect to each other and the community via the same platform and client.
15:41 eythian I have a nice GUI client that I can be connected from my phone, multiple computers, etc all at once and catches messages when I'm away, shows previews of URLs on hover, etc etc.
15:41 davidnind it's nice - have used occassioanly
15:42 eythian https://imgur.com/a/uKFKe11 looks like this
15:43 UKS joined #koha
15:43 caroline_catlady that's what mine looks like too, but I don't think that's pretty or easy to read
15:43 oleonard eythian: Everyone who's never used IRC just got a chill down their spine from that screenshot
15:43 eythian then you change the font if you want to
15:43 kidclamp there are nice irc clients, but having one app/interface and not asking people to choose or customise can make it easier to get started
15:44 ashimema kidclamp++
15:44 totally
15:44 * kidclamp does like Quassel
15:44 eythian oleonard: well if it's developer chat, how do they deal with code :)
15:44 kidclamp but it's not just meant to be developer chat
15:44 ashimema the target audience isn't us.. it's the people who aren't here ;)
15:44 eythian fair
15:44 * eythian doesn't have much of a say here, just opinions, btw :)
15:44 ashimema but also we win too in my opinion.. for things like code snippets etc.
15:45 * ashimema likes opinions :)
15:45 eythian and one strong opinion is that proprietary is bad for free software and will alienate many people. But there are options that aren't that too.
15:46 and for those who it doesn't alienate, perhaps they should reconsider ;)
15:46 davidnind ashimema:Dave Lane has some useful blog posts https://tech.oeru.org/taxonomy/term/18
15:46 Why Slack is better, and why open communities shouldn't use it https://davelane.nz/why-slack-[…]s-shouldnt-use-it
15:47 eythian davidnind: good link, thanks
15:48 oleonard I've added a big follow-up on Bug 22880 and I think it's pretty robust now. Please test! I'd love to get all similar system preferences migrated in the next release if possible
15:48 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=22880 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Needs Signoff , Convert opacheader system preference to news block

18:00 ashimema talljoy++
18:00 talljoy ashimema - i'm not sure what to do with the 'still unstable' message on jenkins
18:00 ashimema Lol.. my phone really wanted to correct that to Tallboy
18:00 Haha
18:00 talljoy very much out of my wheelhouse!
18:01 ashimema I'll take a look tonight/tomorrow morning and give you a hand..
18:01 Joubu talljoy: bug 24199 will fix the shib test
18:01 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=24199 normal, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Pushed to master , t/Auth_with_shibboleth.t is failing randomly
18:02 Joubu no idea what's happenning with the api ones
18:02 ashimema Basically, the process is to look at Jenkins and see which tests it's unhappy about and either fix then, ask someone nice to fix them.. or in a mean case threaten to revert something if they're not fixed..
18:02 It never really comes to that though.. lots of nice people will help fix them if you can't I find
18:03 tcohen api tests failing
18:03 ?
18:03 vfernandes which ElasticSearch version we should use with 19.11?
18:03 ashimema Haha.. Joubu is one of those aforementioned nice people
18:03 tcohen 5.x, or 6 with bugs
18:03 ashimema Either.. both should work
18:03 tcohen ashimema: he wouldn't touch api tests
18:04 Joubu tcohen: https://jenkins.koha-community[…]Build/consoleFull on U18 only it seems
18:04 ashimema You and I count as nice people there tcohen
18:04 tcohen hahaha
18:04 ashimema I just haven't managed to find a moment to look yet myself
18:05 tcohen Joubu: yes, thanks. Will try to figure how to test is without breaking my dev env which is really tweaked now
18:05 Joubu I don't have U18 either right now. I planned to take a look today but forgot
18:06 tcohen I will use a different name and test
18:07 KOHA_IMAGE=master-bionic docker-compose -p koha_bionic up
18:07 Joubu I have disk space issues... cannot pull another image...
18:08 tcohen docker system prune -a
18:08 will probably surprise you hehe
18:09 Joubu what I am doing, but cannot shut it down for now
18:10 tcohen talljoy: I'm looking at the API failures on Ubuntu 18

19:44 caroline_catlady anyone know why I would get the following message when trying to get a mana token? "An error occurred, mana server returned: URL must be absolute"
19:44 cait did you include http:// etc in your url for mana?
19:44 it souns like it thinks it has a relative url
19:45 caroline_catlady I don't know, I just filled in the name and email fields
19:45 where do I set up the url?
19:45 cait check your mana prefs maybe?
19:45 hmm
19:46 i tihnk the mana pref is set in the koha-conf
19:46 caroline_catlady I searched for mana in koha-conf and I didn't find anythng
19:46 cait there should be... let me see
19:47 caroline_catlady mayne I have to add it manually?
19:47 cait i have a mana_config at the bottom
19:47 <mana_config>https://mana.koha-community.org</mana_config>
19:48 caroline_catlady before </config>?
19:48 cait inside yep
19:48 so before
19:48 caroline_catlady ok I will try that
19:49 nope, still getting the same error
19:50 ah the one on my test environment is mana-kb.koha...
19:50 will try that
19:50 cait hm maybe
19:50 i had mana-test
19:50 but assumed mana would be the real one
19:52 JesseM joined #koha
19:52 caroline_catlady -_- still not working...
19:53 cait did you do a reastart_all?
19:53 caroline_catlady no?
19:53 wahanui no is that a thing? I was just thinking about how I like all kinds of chips and now I find out that there is a licorice flavor!
19:53 caroline_catlady licorice chips!
19:53 cait i think a change to koha-conf might not take effect without apache restart
19:53 caroline_catlady ah!
19:53 cait caroline_catlady: andreas sent us some... they were... interesting
19:54 caroline_catlady yeah, I'm not a fan of licorice so I don't think I would even try
19:54 not a fan of fennel either... tastes like licorice
19:56 cait true, i like both :) and ouzo
19:58 caroline_catlady ah it worked!
19:59 Thank you!
19:59 cait++
19:59 cait great :)
