Translate Koha Plugins?
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Hi all, Is there an existing mechanism for translating Koha Plugins? I'm (slowly) working on some plugins, and there are folk in the Czech Republic who would like to use them but not in English.

Koha manual - git setup for local editing
by David Nind 21 Jun '20

21 Jun '20

It's probably just me, but I find setting up or explaining the git setup and editing workflow for the manual to others challenging - particularly those new to git as well: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Editing_the_Koha_Manual#Editing_the_ma… Also, it may be because I'm just used to working with my own repositories at a basic git level, and not having to worry about forking. Initial setup: - Fork the GitLab repository - Clone your fork - Add a second remote to track the main Koha manual repository (community) - Add a branch to track the remote repository (community_master) Workflow for editing: - Make sure everything is up-to-date: checkout community_master branch, pull, merge with local master - Create a new branch for your changes - Edit and commit - Push branch to GitLab - Create a merge request using GitLab Can anyone suggest any alternative ways to set this up or improve it? Or is that as "easy" as we can make it? (and just say follow the really good instructions and you'll get used to it in time..) Thanks!

Clarifying public routes on REST API
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

Hi all, Could I get some clarification on the purpose of the "public" routes for the REST API? In the case of https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24909, it looks like it's a public API that doesn't require authentication/authorization. However other "public" routes like /api/v1/public/* all require authentication and appropriate authorization. Are these denoted as "public" as we're suggesting that only these routes should be used by third-party "public" systems? I don't get it. Hoping someone can offer some clarification.

Adopting CPAN and Carton
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Hi all, What are people's thoughts on CPAN and Carton (the Perl version of Bundler, Composer, NPM, etc)? I like the idea as a way of more easily managing Perl dependencies regardless of Linux distribution and version; in other words, we could provide the same dependencies regardless of being on Debian Jessie/Debian Stretch/Debian Buster or Ubuntu or Fedora or RHEL or OpenSUSE. I suppose the difficulty is how we do a community-friendly deployment? I see two main options: 1. Have the Debian package run "carton install" automatically during install/upgrade a. This could be error prone and difficult to support. 2. Have the Koha Debian Package Manager run "carton install" when building the package, and embed the Perl modules in the Koha package a. It's unknown how much this would increase the size of the Koha package It looks like there is some precedence within Debian for embedding modules in a Debian package: https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Npm2Deb/Embedding https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/GroupSourcesTutorial I think Debian and Ubuntu would (and perhaps should) still be first class citizens, but it would mean it would be easier to have RPM packages too - whether they're official, semi-official, or unofficial. I have a lot of experience building RPM packages for CentOS/RHEL and OpenSUSE, so I'd be willing to be involved in some capacity there. I think retaining Debian packages is important, because we have a number of non-Perl dependencies, and the Debian packages provide a lot of very useful automation. Anyway, please share your thoughts. Victor and Martin brought it up on #koha, and I figured I'd continue the conversation here. Personally, I'm moving away from packaging Perl dependencies as Debian packages for non-Koha projects, because it makes porting the projects to a newer version of the same OS much more difficult. I know using Debian's Perl packages have a lot of advantages, as they're tested, reviewed, and patched, but I think it might be time to consider a change.

Time to translate! string freeze for 19.05.x has begun
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

Hi, saluton, hola, bonjour, String freeze is into effect today Monday 15 June 2020 for the 19.05.x maintenance branch. 19.05.12 release is scheduled for Monday 22 June 2020. Which means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Important reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 19.05, then you must also copy it to 19.11 and 20.05. Otherwise your work will be lost when upgrading to these next versions or the future ones. Happy translating, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo
