Koha packages for master
by Robin Sheat 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

The packages for master have been lagging for some time now, as dependencies were introduced that didn't have packages. This evening I started to fix this, however ran in to a problem: Data::Pagination has no copyright information, therefore it's dubious as to whether we should be using it, and I'm reluctant to distribute it. I've asked for clarification on this: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=80000 however it means that packages for master will have to wait a while, until this is sorted. We should be more careful about our dependencies and whether we're allowed to distribute them. (Note: I'm 99.99% certain it'll be fine, it's just that only the author can really make that call for sure.) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D

A new open source project on Drupal related to sigb (and so koha)
by Claire Hernandez 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hello, I am pleased to announce that we contributed a new drupal module called opac: http://drupal.org/project/opac Announcement is here: http://drupal.biblibre.com/en/blog/entry/biblibre-contributes-the-drupal-op… evolves a lot but you can begin to test it and give us feedbacks :) The first sigb we connected is, of course, koha. It is an other way to provide opac and others things around, it is and independant full project related to whatever sigb you want. I would like to introduce a difficulty we encounted: we wanted to build on top of Ils-di but not everything can be done with it (and we found some bugs). We wonder how to expose koha services to build a significant drupal site. Ncip2 is not sufficient for us, so we've made a choice. For the moment, we are building a Koha::REST interface. The project is published http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koha-restful;a=summary but not yet submitted to the community. You can have a look and tell us what you think. If you want to send us patches, please do it, if you prefer I could clone it in github but the risk is that the project wont be up to date everyday. Regards, Claire.

dselect non-funcitonal on Ubuntu
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

This simple test probes dselect is currently broken on Ubuntu amd64 12.04/10.04 (as root): $ echo "apache2 install" | dpkg --set-selections $ dselect install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: gcc-4.6-base:i386 libasn1-8-heimdal:i386 libc6:i386 libcap2:i386 libcomerr2:i386 libdb5.1:i386 libexpat1:i386 libgcc1:i386 libgcrypt11:i386 libgnutls26:i386 libgpg-error0:i386 libgssapi3-heimdal:i386 libhcrypto4-heimdal:i386 libheimbase1-heimdal:i386 libheimntlm0-heimdal:i386 libhx509-5-heimdal:i386 libkrb5-26-heimdal:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 libp11-kit0:i386 libpcre3:i386 libroken18-heimdal:i386 libsasl2-2:i386 libsasl2-modules:i386 libsqlite3-0:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libtasn1-3:i386 libuuid1:i386 libwind0-heimdal:i386 zlib1g:i386 0 upgraded, 29 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 8,500 kB of archives. After this operation, 22.2 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? So I propose the removal of dselect usage from the docs and use of simple apt-get commands (perhaps providing a convenient script). Regards To+

Especially missing 999$c and $d (I think.) I've been following up on on Robin's suggestion looking for "something funny" in our records that might explain current indexing (or at least reassure me that it's not a db rather than system error) and wrote a script to verify our inhouse barcodes: mysql> select items.barcode, items.biblionumber, biblio.title, biblio.author, items.itemcallnumber from items join biblio on (items.biblionumber = biblio.biblionumber) where items.barcode NOT REGEXP '^[[:digit:]]{1}[[:alnum:]]{4}[[:digit:]]{8}$'; +------------------+--------------+----------------------+-------------------------+----------------+ | barcode | biblionumber | title | author | itemcallnumber | +------------------+--------------+----------------------+-------------------------+----------------+ | 1AERO9107_221230 | 16603 | Heroes of the air, | Fraser, Chelsea Curtis, | AERO-FRAS-1 | | 1AERO111564 | 17408 | Fights and flights / | Samson, Charles Rumney, | AERO-SAMS-1 | +------------------+--------------+----------------------+-------------------------+----------------+ 2 rows in set (0.02 sec) However, these are totally unfindable in Koha (by barcode, biblionumber, callnumber, etc) via any type of search (normal, advanced etc) [N.B. we have these two items under a different biblio, call, barcode, all valid and searchable.] But, I can use 'Tools ==> Export bibliographic and holdings' and produce what appear to be perfectly valid Marc21 records Could these 2 be (I'm wildly guessing) the reason for the "[warn] isamb: Inconsistent register (2)"? Does anyone have a ready made method to delete a complete record in Mysql? They're unwanted elements -- but how to remove them? tnx and br -- paul

Until there is a catastrophic failure of apt-get combined with dselect I feel that any capable admin would appreciate keeping them. Efficiency, flexibility and warning levels are quite sufficient. Best - Paul Who has however found one "package" (in the loosest sense of the word) that has the ability to either invisibly use the '-f' or circumvent it. From memory, in a *desktop* environment, if you don't want to use Unity, but go for "Gnome 2 classic" with 'gnome-session-fallback' or somesuch, it will install the i386 version of gcc and its libraries. You then can delete them with no apparent ill effect. But this is the [non-damaging] exception to prove the rule. Most current/new users of Koha will be using an AMD64 *server*.
