by Fridolin SOMERS 17 Nov '21

Hi, String freeze is into effect 🥶 The 20.11.x maintenance branch is preparing for 20.11.12 release 📦 This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Keep in mind that translations must be done with priority on higher version 21.11 🔥 Happy translating 🌎🌍🌏 -- Fridolin SOMERS <fridolin.somers(a)biblibre.com> Software and system maintainer 🦄 BibLibre, France

Time to translate: string freeze to prepare Koha 20.05.18 has begun (last release for 20.05.x so no more translation update after)
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 17 Nov '21

Hi, String freeze is into effect as of now for the 20.05.x maintenance branch. This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 20.05, then you must also copy it to 20.11, 21.05 and 21.11. Otherwise your work will be lost for future versions. Happy translating :) -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo

Rabbitmq
by Marcel de Rooy 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Hi all, Nobody seeing things like this? mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/run/rabbitmq’: Permission denied Failed to create directory: /var/run/rabbitmq /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmq-server: 51: /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmq-server: cannot create /var/run/rabbitmq/pid: Permission denied Look in /var/log/rabbitmq. Does your rabbitmq service start when you run or restart a container? The solution is simple (mkdir and chown), but it needs to be placed somewhere. Marcel

custom core patches management
by David Schmidt 11 Nov '21

11 Nov '21

Hello koha community, We made some changes to our Koha instance and are now looking for a mechanism to apply them to a new installation. - some of the changes are simply new files, thats easy. - some changes were possible to put into plugins or use existing hooks. but how do you deal with changes to the koha sourcecode? this is our strategy: 1) we have a git repo with our koha source code. 2) if we change code in Foobar.pm we create 3 files. Foobar.pm.orig Foobar.pm.changed Foobar.pm.patch 3) on a new koha instance next we have a script `install.sh` that compares Foobar.pm.orig with the installed file. if they match, the patch is applied. Does that sound like a good idea? How do YOU manage core changes that do not go upstream? cheers, david
