First big moves for 21.06 - early pushes
by Jonathan Druart 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

Hi devs, I'd like to see us focus on those bugs, good candidates for early push: Bug 17600 - Standardize the EXPORT Bug 27526 - Remove Mod/AddItemFromMarc from additem.pl (first step, more work needed in this area) Bug 17427 - Replace CGI::Session with Data::Session Bug 25078 - Update DB process - wrap each DBRev inside a transaction and better error handling (need it soon to prevent unnecessary work later when lot of DBrevs will exist in 21.06) I am going to provide an updated version for the last one, the others are ready for testing. Hoping to see some help there :) Cheers, Jonathan

The Perl and Raku Conference (In the Cloud)
by Thomas Klausner 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Hi! Today starts this years Perl and Raku Conference (still in the cloud, thanks to Corona): https://perlconference.us/tprc-2021-cloud/ As Koha is written in Perl, this event might interest a few of you. You can watch the live stream for free via YouTube, if you want to participate via Zoom and Slack you need to pay a 10$ fee. Here you can find the schedule (where you can also select your timezone): https://tprc2021cic.sched.com/ I'm doing a short talk on Koha on Thursday, but it's not going to be very technical. As a long time Perl dev I have only recently learned about Koha and it's big community, and want to introduce this project to the Perl community. Greetings, domm -- #!/usr/bin/perl https://domm.plix.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}

Re: [Koha-devel] Increasing Debian Package Compatibility Levels

Note that those warnings are from Debian Stretch. Since it's oldstable, it's probably still OK to be building on it. What OS do the Koha CI servers use?

Deadlock issues when running the tests in parallel, and maybe not only in the tests?
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 29 May '21

29 May '21

Hi :) IIUC this is where the CI calls "prove" to run the tests https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-testing-docker/-/blob/master/files/r… And this is the place where KOHA_PROVE_CPUS is set. https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-testing-docker/-/blob/master/files/r… It's not set in ".env" file so it should use "nproc" and this calls "prove" with more than one thread. Is that really the case? I tried locally use to "prove -j 4" and I'm getting deadlocks with the database after a few minutes. And do these deadlock in tests mean that Koha can hit them while running in production? I expect the tests to fail due to messing up with each other data but a deadlock is something else. Cheers, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could give me some feedback on "Bug 28457 - cleanup_database.pl self-registration options are not configurable" (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28457) I like the patch I wrote there, but I wanted to see what other people thought before running it locally.

Thoughts on reloading Koha plugins
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 27 May '21

27 May '21

Hi all, It seems to me that installing Koha plugins is easy enough. Each Starman process will load the plugin into memory because it hasn't seen it before. However, if you're updating/upgrading a plugin, each Starman process has already loaded it, so it won't know that it needs to reload it. I think most of us work around this at the moment either by restarting Plack or just letting the Starman workers die and be replaced by new ones that use the updated code. But that doesn't seem optimal for an environment that allows user plugins. That said, https://advent.plackperl.org/2009/12/day-4-reloading-applications.html and https://metacpan.org/pod/Module::Reload have a few points on how reloading code in a persistent process is a good way to get bugs. I recall Kyle saying Wordpress was his inspiration for the plugins. I'm curious how Wordpress handles plugin upgrades.
