by Samuel Desseaux 17 May '13

Bugzilla 1993: Task Scheduler Needs Re-write
by Marcel de Rooy 17 May '13

17 May '13

What is your opinion on this security issue? See http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=1993 Thx for your time, Marcel --- Comment #33 from M. de Rooy <m.de.rooy(a)rijksmuseum.nl> --- Katrin: Just another observation. I set my SELinux temporarily to Permissive. I can add a job, but there is another security issue. At job run time, I receive the mail: This account is currently not available. Why? Because my apache user is not allowed to login. So the job cannot be run, although it is allowed via at.allow etc. This brings me to a more important question: Should we encourage Koha users to allow login for apache user to make use of the Task Scheduler? Note that is a general Apache hardening measure to not allow interactive login for the apache user. IMO we (as Koha developers) should not stimulate Koha users to lower security barriers to enable Koha functionality. Another approach to the Task Scheduler could be to have a specific cronjob, look for Koha reports to run at specified times without allowing apache to add generic jobs with all security risks attached.. Moving this report to In Discussion. Will send a mail to the dev list.

Koha and openURL / link resolver
by Paul Poulain 16 May '13

16 May '13

Hello koha-devel, Has anyone already investigated if Koha can be compatible with link resolver ? If no, has anyone an idea of what is missing ? It's really unclear to me...

Koha 3.12.0 release candidate TWO
by Jared Camins-Esakov 15 May '13

15 May '13

That's right, folks! We had so much fun this morning, that we're repeating the exercise this evening! A second release candidate, this one with updated translation files is available for your testing pleasure on download.koha-community.org. Get it while it's hot, before I decide to upload a third release candidate! For those of you who installed rc1, there is only one additional bugfix: bug 10030 ("MaxFines checks against amount, not amount outstanding"). The major change for this release candidate is the updating of the PO files, so that people can test 3.12 with properly localized installations. Please take it for a spin, and report (or, even better, fix!) any bugs that you might find.

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] How to update two koha databases in different servers.
by Waylon Robertson 11 May '13

11 May '13

Yes, easiest method, doing realtime updates, is mysql replication. Now, theres two methods of doing this, first is using mysql's own replication method, and second is using MySQL::Replication as found on cpan. Brilliant perl based replication system. ________________________________ From: otuoma peter <otuomathegreat(a)yahoo.com> To: "koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz" <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz> Sent: Saturday, 11 May 2013 10:57 PM Subject: [Koha] How to update two koha databases in different servers. I have two koha installations. One on a production server and another on a standby back-up server. Is there a way I can have all the changes made to the database on the production server also updated to the standby back-up server? I am thinking of doing it using an entry in a cronjob file that runs once everyday at night. If possible, I only need to import the updates. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
