Odd v20.11.00 tag
by Jonathan Druart 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Hi devs, You will notice that I have messed up with the v20.11.00 tag. I `git push remote master` where my tag was, instead of `git push remote v20.11.00`. And then git rejected the second push for the tag % git push RM v20.11.00 Hum... no commit to push? error: failed to push some refs to 'git@git.koha-community.org:Koha-community/Koha.git' I've never seen that before and was almost sure it was possible. So the only solution I found (on Friday night) was to add an empty commit with the tag. Enjoy 20.11.00 and see you soon to prepare 21.05! Cheers, Jonathan

koha-testing-docker and plugins
by Mark Alexander 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

I've been struggling for a couple of days with getting plugins to work with koha-testing-docker. I'm using the latest Koha source and koha-testing-docker images, I started the container with the "ku" alias, and it's running correctly. Plugins are enabled in koha-conf.xml; here are the relevant lines: <pluginsdir>/var/lib/koha/kohadev/plugins</pluginsdir>   <enable_plugins>1</enable_plugins> But when I log into the Koha staff client using the koha user, which is a superlibrarian, I don't see "Tool plugins" under the "Additional tools" heading on the Tools page. I'm not familiar with debugging Perl; my experience is from years of using GDB with C/C++. The README for koha-testing-docker has only the barest hints about debugging. Before I resort to debugging with print statements (or system("echo something >>/tmp/junk")), is there a better way for me to figure out what's wrong here? -- To any truly impartial person, it would be obvious that I'm always right. --Ashleigh Brilliant

Move of the git server
by Jonathan Druart 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Hi, We are planning a move of the git server on Nov 23th at 20 UTC. There will be a DNS switch and some quick tweaks that will be needed after it. Expect a bit of downtime during the intervention. Use the gitlab or github mirror if you really need to access/clone it. Cheers, Jonathan

RabbitMQ / bug 26742: in production message broker on a specific server ?
by Zeno Tajoli 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Hi to all, I hope many of yours rember me (more then two years ago !!). I'm helping a library (in Italy) to update to Koha 20.11.x I read mailing list and bugs about addiction of RabbitMQ as task queue / message broker. I understand that all start from using Plack, if I use it there are problem with task queue. From 20.11.x if you use Plack, you need to use RabbitMQ, at least for batch update record tools. So, what is the suggestion for a production server ? To install always RabbitMQ in specific server ? Or is a specific server for RabbitMQ only for multi-instance installation ? I'm working with 250.000 bibliographic records and 1.700 users in single-instance installation. Cheers Zeno Tajoli -- Zeno Tajoli System Librarian

Kohadevbox with libvirt/kvm
by Mark Alexander 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

I've just started looking at kohadevbox, and was wondering if anybody had tried to use it with (1) libvirt/kvm and (2) an existing Debian 9 VM. The situation is that the last few years, I've already been using libvirt/kvm to create a few Koha VMs for testing, and I have a Debian 9 VM ready to go for gitified development. I was hoping that perhaps I could modify the kohadevbox system just a bit to use my existing setup, so that (1) I wouldn't be forced to use Virtualbox, and (2) I wouldn't have to wait for it to download and create a new Debian 9 VM, since I already have one. Has anybody out there tried to do this? -- I'm doing my part to help preserve life on earth by trying to preserve my own. --Ashleigh Brilliant

getmysqlhost() function not fetching / setting the hostname in koha-conf.xml
by Indranil Das Gupta 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

Hi devs, A followup to my earlier post https://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2020-November/046112.… I found that the function getmysqlhost() in the koha-create bash script wasn't able to set the hostname in the koha-conf.xml. My /etc/mysql/debian.cnf contains - # Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH! And /etc/mysql/koha-common.cnf is symlinked to /etc/mysql/koha-common.cnf I have MariaDB 10.5 installed from MariaDB repo on Debian 10. Am i missing something or is it a bug? -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.co.in Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg
