14 Dec '11

Dear Koha Kommunitarians, I'm harvesting news for the December newsletter. Please send me by the 25th anything you think your fellow community members might like to know about. "News" can be as short as a sentence or as long as a paper. I especially encourage you to send me a line or two about what you're currently working on for publication in the gossip/society column. And if you know of a go-live not announced on the list, please be sure to let me know about it. Please note that it's not too late to send in your reports or reminiscences of KohaCon11! Happy holidays, Daniel Grobani

Bug 5636
by Marcel de Rooy 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hi all, Patch 5636 should be next in passing qa now, but these questions remained open: Style question to the community: should core pages in the staff client (like tools/cleanborrowers.pl) have both a templated page in the staff client AND a command-line presence, or should the commandline tool be a separate script in misc/? At this time, there doesn't seem to be any precedent for inclusion in the core script. Before passing this patch for QA, I'd like to get some feedback, as this may both open doors for us, as well as create additional work to create consistency of implementation for existing jobs. Please respond if you want to share your opinion on this subject. Thanks. Marcel

dontmerge preference
by Nicole Engard 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

I need some assistance in documenting this preference: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/administration.html#dontmerge It says that the cron is required, but apparently its not: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7347 What should the manual say about the cron job? If it's not required then I can say that, but I know that it's still there so I assume it can be used and should be documented. Thanks Nicole

Jenkins back to unstable !
by Paul Poulain 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hello (chris_c & others) Jenkins is back to unstable, because of XISBN.t test. build 562 was stable, and 563 is not, and I can't see where the problem can come from. BREAKING NEWS : (just before sending this mail) build 565 is stable again. The patch I pushed can't explain why we're stable. I'm really confused. Any idea warmly welcomed ! -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

by Marcel de Rooy 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Just to mention another patch that I wrote myself ;) 6536 Z3950 Enhancements: SRU targets, MARC conversion, additional XSLT processing The functionality patch dates from June 30, but still applies. (We use it in production for 6 months now already!) The dbrev patch has been rebased last time on August 11. As you will understand, it needs rebasing constantly (updatedatabase stuff). The patch has a test plan with 12 steps on the wiki.
