Branching Koha cvs
by Chris Cormack 20 Apr '02

20 Apr '02

Hi Guys Well I think I might spend this weekend figuring out and creating a devel branch for koha. Ive been reading through http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_5.html#SEC54 Which is a really good rundown on how to use branches. Now I guess I just have to try and figure out what versions of what to branch. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Also if you get a chance take a look at http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=KohaProject Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris(a)katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

Koha - Webserver Authentication + Authorisation
by Roger Buck 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

I have been investigating some user authentication options for Koha user access via Internet: Mainly: * Apache AuthenDBI at: http://www.perldoc.com/cpan/Apache/AuthenDBI.html * mod_auth_mysql at: ftp://ftp.kciLink.com/pub/ * averist at: http://www.edlund.org/hacks/averist/ and a whole swag of good stuff here: http://www.apache-tools.com/search.jsp?k=1&category=Authentication&no_head=… So far I think mod_auth_mysql looks most flexible of the standard Apache modules - I am probably biased because it was the easiest to get going here, works nicely with cookies, and has a third party, web based, password management interface - I have it working fine with my koha test setup. I have not been able to get AuthenDBI working properly here - and I don't want to have to recompile Apache. (or to run mod_perl) on my test server. 'averist' looked good but no documentation - perl gurus would probably find it easy-peasy: http://www.edlund.org/hacks/averist/ Before I go too far - Anyone suggest any reason(s) why options (such as AuthenDBI for example) may be a better option (compared with mod_mysql) for use with koha? Thanx, R.

It's, IMHO something really missing and that causes errors in datas that user enter. From a technical point of vue : I think what should be decided soon is what tool we should use to separate presentation code and perl code. We spoke a little about perl template module, then we spoke about XML-XSLT. I think MARC is a HUGE thing. So, we can't decide to use XML-XSLT immediatly. That would be 2 BIG projects at the same time, and we have not enough strength. Should we decide to use perl-template for a moment ? Maybe. It's easier to use, and I know how they work. It's not the case for XML-XSLT... >What features are you currently working on? > None. In a week or 2, I'll be back on koha. I will work on MARC compliance, and on thesaurus.

Any comments, suggestions? > I agree for a really short term stable version. The current one is really out of date. I can give a help if you want for the sample DB (in May, I repeat again) what will be on the katipo stuff ? Is it necessary to build a 1.2 AND a 1.3 version ? I thought the MARC import/export was well advanced, and we could assume a progressive translation from the non-MARC DB/soft to the MARC DB/soft ? >The way documenting -- both support, and code -- is handled is due for an >overhaul as well -- any thoughts? > Not sure to understand well this sentence... >Sorry if this sounds like an inquisition, but Chris and I are trying to get >a handle on the who/what/where, etc. > No, what I think is that we must be more aware about who/what/where... So, I'm happy to answer ;-) Last thing, it should be important for me to have a uptodate view of who is really working on koha. And who is who too. I'm quite new on this project, so I don't understand everybody history and experience. (who is from katipo, who is not, who already use koha in a library,...) >Thanks > De rien (in french :-) ) -- Paul
