Date picker (bz 7182)
by Paul Poulain 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hello world, As we've said previously, the Koha datepicker is out of date, unmaintained, and we should go for a jquery one. It doesn't matter which one we choose for me, but let's choose one. Anyone an opinion ? owen, you'll probably a more important voice than anyone else here. Everybody: please answer on this thread or on bug 7182, thanks. -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

bugzilla patch status order changes
by Paul Poulain 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hello, As I proposed a few days ago, i've updated the order of patches statuses. You'll now see Needs Signoff Signed Off Pushed for QA Passed QA Patch Pushed Does not apply Failed QA (usually, the new status is/will just be the status next to the current one. The two "failure" cases are at the end) HTH -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

Very small change in bugzilla (priority)
by Paul Poulain 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hello, I'm sure all of you have once asked yourself "well, is Priority 1 high, or low ?" Now you've the answer : i've updated the label facing P1 and P5, that's now P1-high and P5-low (the default value) no other changes (even if I'd like to get rid of this PATCH-Sent status that should not be here. That will be for a later change proposal ;-) ) -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

QA Contact field in Bugzilla
by Ian Walls 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Friends, I've gone ahead and moved the "koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org" account from the default QA contact for each component in bugs.koha-community.org, to a Global Watcher. This gives us a simpler configuration, fewer risks of breakage (since someone could change the QA contact on a bug report), and the use of QA Contact for actual QA. I've set myself as the new default contact for all components; I'll work out with Jonathan and Marcel a good system for assigning them incoming tickets to QA. We may need to update this next release cycle, but it only takes a few minutes to do. I have *not* changed all the existing bugs to use this new system; that would spam the heck out of everyone. I'll just start making use of this feature as I test things, and eventually, all the unresolved bugs should get updated.

Release Manager stuff
by Paul Poulain 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello Koha, I've just pushed my first patches, thanks to chris & brendan for their help. The first three ones were not pushed in a specific branch, I made a mistake, that is now fixed, so it should be OK. I've started a wiki page to explain how the RM pushes patches. That will be usefull for anyone interested, and usefull for the next RM (i'm not thinking of resigning, don't worry ;-) ) Here is the page: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/How_the_RM_push -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

sending patches to koha-patches mailing list ?
by Paul Poulain 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello everybody, The workflow we have atm is to send all patches to the koha-patches mailing-list. New ones, as well as signed-off. I think it's a good idea for new patches, that's a good source to see what has been submitted, even if we also have other sources. But for signed-off patches, I think it's useless time-consuming: - the signoff is also in the bug itself, having it in the mailing list add nothing. (we also have KohaGBSD that automatically tweets all status changes, plus "signed-off" query on bugzilla) - with git bz, we have a very fast and handy way to retrieve & send patches to the bug, so who still uses patches from the mailing list ? (note: if you don't use git bz, you should ! see http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration) So I suggest to update our rule to request sending only new patches to the mailing list. Your opinion ? -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
