External Independent Security Audits of Koha
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Hi all, Sending this first to the dev list, and might send to the general list depending on responses. Has anyone in the Koha community commissioned an external independent security audit of Koha? I know people do their own pen testing and security audits, but has anyone paid for an external independent firm to certify Koha? Apologies for the vagueness. I'm asking this question on behalf of someone else. I don't think it's a source code audit (like has been done for open source encryption software like TrueCrypt). Rather, I think it's an audit of an implemented Koha. Of course, any audit of an implementation would be implementation specific, so I'm not quite sure of the intentions behind the original question, but there you have it.

hackfest 2020 in Marseille, registrations are open !
by Paul Poulain 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Hello everyone, almost everything is in the title : you can register for the hackfest by sending me an email. As announced previously, it will take place in BibLibre office, Marseille, France, March 23-27 Some explanations for those who need them: * the hackfest is NOT a developer week. it's a week for anyone willing to contribute to Koha, whatever the kind of contribution (testing, documenting, ...) * the hackfest is free of charge (but you'll have to deal with your traveling costs, of course) * you can come for 5 days, or less. Don't come for 1 day, it's useless. coming for 2 days is very frustrating. Coming for 3 to 5 days is perfect ! * 40-45 ppl fit in our office. If we're more than this, we'll have to book an additional room [thanks to the company just next door] So register as soon as possible * there's no schedule, everyone comes with it's own ideas/goals/expectations * that's not a training session * if you need an official invitation, just ask by email Hoping to see you next month !!! -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Koha plugin MRPP
by Fridolin SOMERS 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Hi, I'd like to present a small plugin of my own : https://github.com/biblibre/koha-plugin-mrpp A library asked for this to be able to fastly add a lot of records into a list. Full Javascript so its neatly a hack \o/. Can be a performance killer that's why it's only for staff interface. Best regards, -- Fridolin SOMERS <fridolin.somers(a)biblibre.com> BibLibre, France - software and system maintainer

Missing optional Net::Z3950::SimpleServer dependency causes ~/koha prove t to fail
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Technically, Net::Z3950::SimpleServer is an optional dependency, so the test suite probably shouldn't fail if it's not installed? I'll just look at installing it, so it shouldn't be a big drama, but just wondering what people think about this.

Would this be interesting too for containerization? Make it possible to run Koha in Docker without cap-add's ?

"Get desktop application" link
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 16 Jan '20

16 Jan '20

Hi all, I'm just poking around on 19.11 and I notice the "Get desktop application" link on /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation-home.pl points to ByWater's Github. Is that an optimal link or should it be pointing to a Koha Community resource?

Out of sort memory, consider increasing server sort buffer size
by Philippe Blouin 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

Good morning Koha, Newbie question: why do we have 16 fields in GROUP BYs ? Are they really all necessary to eliminate duplicate lines in budgets? Genuine question. When in acqui-home.pl, clicking certain entries linking to spent.pl just crashes with the error listed in the mail's object: Out of memory. Although I hate that solution, I went with it, increased sort_buffer_size 64x fold (I'm a generous guy). Still not enough. Removing most lines in GROUP BY of spent.pl solves it all, of course. -- Philippe Blouin, Directeur de la technologie Tél. : (833) 465-4276, poste 230 philippe.blouin(a)inLibro.com <mailto:philippe.blouin@inLibro.com> inLibro | pour esprit libre | www.inLibro.com <http://www.inLibro.com>
