Does anyone use C4/SIP/t?
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

Hi all, I just noticed C4/SIP/t/ in the Koha codebase. Does anyone actually use the test code there? Makefile.PL doesn't write it to the target, but still wondering if it's actually used. Looks like Makefile.PL has some old entries for "C4/SIP/koha_test" and "C4/tests" too, which we could just remove from Makefile.PL now.

Anyone know why C4/Barcodes/ValueBuilder.pm has a Perl shebang?
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 14 Oct '20

Hi all, Anyone know why C4/Barcodes/ValueBuilder.pm has a Perl shebang? Is that due to some cataloguing plugin or something? Or is it just an error? Cheers, David Cook Software Engineer Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595

Scripts in C4/SIP directory
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Hi all, Is there any reason why we should have Perl (and Python) scripts in the C4/SIP of a deployed Koha? It seems to me like these are wrongly located? I'm also surprised to see C4/SIP/acstest.py. This looks like a legacy program anyway. David Cook Software Engineer Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595

Custom authority types cannot be used in automated authority linking
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Hi all, I just noticed that custom authority types cannot be used in automated authority linking. The details are at https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26662, but I reckon it's a fairly significant bug in Koha. You'll never encounter it if you don't create new authority types, but if you do use new authority types, link_bibs_to_authorities.pl will never work correctly and C4::Biblio::BiblioAutoLink will never work correctly.

Koha order plugin - Swedish Koha User Group
by Ola Andersson 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Koha developers, I wrote some time ago that we would return with questions and answers regarding the Koha Order plugin that we in Sweden will have developed. My impression is that we got a lot of good feedback on our outreach. We will now continue and make a procurement to have the first version of the order plugin developed during OCT-DEC 2020. Our estimation is to have something working by end of year 2020 or beginning year 2021. Once we are there we will write to this list to inform you and to let you have the possibility to look at the plugin.. Cheers, Swedish Koha User Group - Order plugin task group.

Signing up for Koha 21.05 roles
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

Hi all, While I have been around for nearly half of Koha's life, I have not taken on any release roles in that time. Other than Topic Expert for one or two releases. This time, I want to join the Quality Assurance Team, but I'm wondering about the process. Do I just put my name on the wiki, does it go to a vote, or is there something else I need to do?
