File organisation within release tarball
by Mahesh T Pai 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Dear all, Have some questions on naming of the release tarball, and organisation of files within it. I am not sure if this has been discussed before; at least, have not come across a discussion in the archives. 1. A really math question. Why does a file named koha-3.04.02.tar.gz extract to "koha-3.4.02"?? Did I get my math wrong? On a related note, when I run koha_perl_deps.pl, I am told that Graphics::Magick is only 1.3.12, while the required version is 1.3.5. This is with 3.4.2. 2. Am I the only one to feel that files are really scattered within the source directory (the one we get when we extract the tarball)?? 2.1 For a start, why not move al those INSTALL* files into a INSTALL directory within the source directory? 2.2 In the installed directory (the default location - /usr/share/koha), rebuild_zebra.pl is not really a migration tool. At least, it currently is not. Time to move rebuild_zebra.pl to bin/cronjobs? >From what I have read about it, bin/maintenance/remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl is a migration tool. Or have I understood it wrongly? (INSTALL wrongly mentions its location as misc/maintenance/. The correct location ought to be bin/maintenance/ . -- Mahesh T. Pai ||

Re: [Koha-devel] [PATCH] Bug 4873 - Ensure that the required directories exist on init
by Robin Sheat 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

This patch suits both master and 3.4.x, and would improve the running of packages on Ubuntu in particular.

Newbie's Question on Translation
by Andi Sugandi 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi Mates, I just do not find tutorial/how to translate koha-community.org site. I did ask google, but there was no good answer nor on koha-community.org pages. I'd like to provide a Bahasa Indonesia[0] page of koha-community.org as well as our friend has already done on Spanish[1]. AFAIK. It seems like I have to build on dedicated server like Tomas did[2]. Am i wrong? Or Could it be easier to just using Wordpress tools[3]? Thanks in advance.

[bug 6458]: need some help for a parsing problem in 'misc/translator/TTParser.pm'
by Frère Sébastien Marie 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hi, I have problem with bug 6458 (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6458) I will resume the problem (as the bug report is "historical commented" and the problem not clearly pointed at the beginning): Currently, the translation parser (use to apply po files) don't support template directive *in* tag. For example: <tagname attr1="value1" templateText attr2="value2" ...> is interpreted like: <tagname attr1="value1" templateText="templateText" attr2="value2" ...> This occurs rarely in templates, and generate a problem *only* when translation replacement occurs *also* in this tag. Here a case not generating problem (in 'opac-user.tt'): <tr[% IF ( overdue ) %] class="overdue"[% END %]> No problem, because a bad-parsed hash is not used, as the element contains no translated string, so the tag isn't rewrited [see 'tmpl_process3.pl': function 'text_replace_tag', rewrite occurs only if $translated_p]). Here a case with problem (in 'sco/sco-main.tt'): <input type="button" value="Renew Item" [% UNLESS ( renew ) %] name="confirm"[% END %] class="renew" onclick="this.form.confirmed.value='1';this.form.submit();" /> TTParser read as: tagname=input attributes = { type = "button", value = "Renew Item", [% = "[%", unless = "UNLESS", %] = "%]", ... } And as the value attribute is a translated string, this bad-parsed hash is used to rewrite the tag, resulting: <input value="Renouveler document" name="confirm" unless="UNLESS" %]="%]" renew="renew" end="END" )=")" type="button" onclick="this.form.confirmed.value='1';this.form.submit();" class="renew" (="(" [%="[%" /> which is not a valid template... and TT produce a blocking error. So what to do ? 1. works on TTParser.pm, in order to include case for DIRECTIVE in tag element ? (lot of work for rare occurences) 2. works 'tmpl_process3.pl' for change the rewriting style of element (not using the parsed hash, using regexp for example) ? (not a strong method, and need some works too) 3. discard the use of Template DIRECTIVE in tag element ? (adding a test case for report incorrect use of template *in* tag element, or a check in TTParser reporting "unallowed template form") 4. discard the use of Template DIRECTIVE in tag element which contains translated string ? (same before, but more complex to implement) Personnally, I prefer the 3 (or 4) choice... but what is your opinion about this ? Thanks. -- Frère Sébastien Marie Abbaye Notre Dame de La Trappe 61380 Soligny-la-Trappe Tél: 02.33.84.17.00 Fax: 02.33.34.98.57 Web: http://www.latrappe.fr/

In a post on the user list, I noticed use of term "certified Koha support provider", or something to that effect. Is that accurate? -- Mahesh T. Pai || A closed mouth gathers no feet.
