64-bit versions

Some time ago yaz -- and possibly other Koha components -- may have proven problematic in a 64-bit server environment. I'm getting ready to do a fresh install of Koha 3.4.3 on a new server using Intel Xeon 64-bit architecture, and am looking for reassurance that this will not be a hang-up. I'll then migrate our current db from 3.2 (on a 32-bit machine) and again would appreciate any words of wisdom from any of you as to best practices. The new server will use Ubuntu 10.04LTS rather than 10.10 (current server) just for the long-term maintenance schedule in a production environment. tnx and br Paul Tired old sys-admin

Perl scripts not ending in .pl
by Edgar Fuß 01 Aug '11

Some of Koha's Perl scripts have filenames not ending in .pl. This just hit me badly because those are not handled by fix-perl-path.PL. Personally, I could just get away with pkgsrc's REPLACE_PERL feature, but maybe other people would benefit from correct interpreter paths too. So, is there any reason why not to change the following file names (and all references to them, of course)? ./misc/admin/koha-preferences ./misc/maintenance/borrowers-force-messaging-defaults ./misc/translator/translate ./opac/unapi ./reports/issues_by_borrower_category.plugin ./reports/itemtypes.plugin ./svc/bib_profile ./svc/bib ./svc/authentication ./svc/config/systempreferences ./svc/new_bib (there are, of course, *.t Perl scripts not listed here) debian/list-deps ist probably irrelevant as long as Debian keeps perl in /usr/bin. fix-perl-path.PL is special. acqui/pdfformat/layout[23]pages.pm have superflous shebang lines.

FW: Bug 6584

Oops, Discovered that Katrin already signed it off. But it still needs some time to mature on the Signed list ;) Marcel Van: koha-devel-bounces(a)lists.koha-community.org [mailto:koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org] Namens Marcel de Rooy Verzonden: maandag 1 augustus 2011 09:18 Aan: koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org Onderwerp: [Koha-devel] Bug 6584 Hi Owen [and all], >From the IRC channel [July 13]: * oleonard doesn't understand what Bug 6584 is about Zebra already indexes MARC field 000/7 as Bib-level. But since it is not defined in ccl.properties and not listed in Search.pm, you cannot do anything with it in Koha. This patch resolves that situation. You will not search for Bib-level many times, but it already helped me in combination with another search term to find some errors in MARC records. Anyone willing to test and sign-off (easy patch!) ? Regards, Marcel
