Better weigthing for specific indexes ?
by Mathieu Saby 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hello I think I have found a little bug, but I am not sure of it. in C4/Search.pm (sub _build_weighted_query), I found this : 826 $weighted_query .= " $index,ext,r1=\"$operand\""; # exact index 827 #$weighted_query .= " or (title-sort-az=0 or $index,startswithnt,st-word,r3=$operand #)"; 828 $weighted_query .= " or $index,phr,r3=\"$operand\""; # phrase index 829 $weighted_query .= 830 " or $index,rt,wrdl,r3=\"$operand\""; # word list index So Word list index is on the same plane as Phrase index. I suppose if we define Phrase index as r2, the weighting would be more accurate? I don't know how zebra is working internally, so could somebody confirm please ? Regards, M.

Koha on Mysql Cluster
by Harry Lachanas 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi List, I am facing a prob with a setup design that has safety and min-down time fail-over etc as a prerequisite. This has led me to consider a MySql Cluster setup. I've tried to import the database into it and found out that it wasn't as simple as I thought. As a result I had to mess around table and column definitions. However since I haven't tried it in a "production" or "close-to", KOHA installation, I am not certain that the functionality will be intact 100%. I wonder if this will be interesting to the developers of KOHA. If so, please let me know in order to mail you the "Cluster" DB structure that passes into mysql. Kind regards grharry.

[IMPORTANT] for Koha setups in UNIMARC and git
by Paul Poulain 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi koha-devel, I just pushed patch for bug 3087. It changes zebra configuration files for *UNIMARC* setups. The change is a small one but *requires* that your zebra configuration files are updated. If you're running a standard install, sudo make upgrade will do the job, as usuall If you're running a dev/git install, you'll have to update your configuration manually, as described here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3087#c33 You can get more information here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3087#c29 If you don't do that, your koha will improperly query zebra, and you'll get no result (more detail: koha will request RecordSyntax=Unimarc, and your zebra still know only RecordSyntax=marc21) -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

Koha 3.6.x EOL
by Jared Camins-Esakov 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Good morning. Earlier today I released Koha 3.6.10, my final release as Release Maintainer for the Koha 3.6.x branch. So far no one has accepted the position of RMaint for 3.6.x during the 3.12 release cycle, despite my various pleas, entreaties, and threats. It is my hope that a new release maintainer will step forward for 3.6.x, since I believe that this branch has not yet exhausted its usefulness, but until this happens the 3.6.x branch should be considered orphaned, and libraries should begin to consider upgrading to 3.8.x or the forthcoming 3.10. One further note about 3.6.10: this upgrade included fixes for several cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Koha that have been present at least since 3.4. ALL USERS OF KOHA SHOULD UPGRADE TO THE LATEST RELEASE ON THE BRANCH THEY ARE FOLLOWING TO RECEIVE PROTECTION FROM THESE THREATS.

Basic Setup for a Spanish interface
by Zeno Tajoli 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi to all, here in Italy they asked us an installation in Spanish. So in fact the question is for spanish people. I'm starting from a fresh Debian stable. In Espagna as 'locale' what setup do you use ? Do you prefer 'en_US.UTF8 UTF-8' or 'es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8' in /etc/locale.gen ? Thank you very much Cheers Zeno Tajoli -- Dott.
