--- Comment #10 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
Trying to help untangle this, in hope of not making it worse :)

Problem: When all libraries owning a requested item are closed, we are not able
to allocate a hold.

Past:
In the past and without RTHoldsQueue the holdsqueue was rebuilt completely. As
a result, the unallocated holds would get allocated.

Present:
We now have RTHoldsQueue and try to avoid running the build_holdsqueue
additionally, so we need a way to deal with the unallocated holds without still
rebuilding the table regularly.

I think having a switch on the build_holdsqueue that does prevent it deleting
the table and makes it only add the so far unallocated would be OK.

What could be alternatives?
* Having a separate script: not ideal really as it would be too similar really.
* Have some other way of triggering re-allocation - I don't think we have an
option there apart from cron?
