Adding fonts to Koha for label creator
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 07 May '20

07 May '20

Hi all, How does one add fonts to Koha for the label creator? I'm curious about adding "Arial" ( or rather LiberationSans-Regular.ttf as matched by fc-match) and "Arial Bold" (or rather Roboto-Regular.ttf as matched by fc-match) to the Koha label creator. I see we have a hard-coded list of font types in C4/Creators/Lib.pm. There is also a list of TTF files in etc/koha-conf.xml. I could update both places, but I am wondering if that's enough. I've tried to read https://metacpan.org/release/PDF-Reuse/source/lib/PDF/Reuse.pm but the mix of English and Swedish makes progress a bit slow. Based on sub Font in C4/Creators/PDF.pm, I'm guessing that's it?

Making CGISESSID cookie more secure
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi all, I know it's a tough one to test, but could someone check out https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25360? When using HTTPS, it sets the secure flag on the CGISESSID, so that the cookie can't be sent over an unencrypted HTTP request. It won't break HTTP, but it will make use of HTTPS more secure.

Use Supervisor to manage Koha processes?
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi all, What do people think about using Supervisor (http://supervisord.org/ ) to manage Koha processes? Actually, as I say that, it looks like Petter Goksøyr Åsen may have already done it years ago: https://gitlab.deichman.no/digibib/koha-docker/commit/9cf892b1ef086d15c634a7 59be51b88ea2f98f75. It might be an easier / more industry way of handling all the different instance-specific Koha component processes. I havent tried it, but its just a thought.

Plugins should support simple signing for security/verifiability
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Hi all, I've just written a patch that adds simple signing for security/verifiability to Koha plugins: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24632. By default, it doesn't really do anything, but if you enable the "RequirePluginSignatures" system preference, you will only be able to upload Koha plugins which have been signed by a trusted Koha plugin author. When uploading a plugin, you'll also be prompted for a signature file, which you'll need to upload in order to successfully upload the plugin. Koha plugin authors can be trusted by uploading/importing their RSA signing public key into Koha. I've included all the possible information Koha users and Koha (plugin) developers could need into my test plan(s). Let me know how you go! I'd love to get feedback. I've been wanting to write this code for a long time, so I finally sat down for about 5 hours and just banged it all out. It's probably far from perfect, but it's functional and hopefully shouldn't add too much of a burden to users or developers.

OS-specific Debian packages
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Hi all (and especially Mirko), I know there was some talk about how some Debian packages need to be stored in OS-specific Apt repos. Do we have a list of those? I think I have one to add. http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/pool/main/libc/libcryptx-perl/current. 19.11 says that it's removed the versioning of Perl so it'll work on Jessie and Stretch, but I'm on Stretch now and it's definitely still stuck on perl 5.20 for libcryptx-perl (0.059-1~koha2). Just an FYI. I was hoping to use Crypt::PK::RSA for 24632 but couldn't load the module due to its file path, so will look at Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA instead.

Repack git repo
by Jonathan Druart 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hi devs, Some of you may know, we got an issue with our Koha gitlab repo, it was not syncing because of too big (no detail here, but that did not really make sense anyway). It seems that it is syncing now but we removed all the branches that are not protected (so only master) I had a new try at splitting our repo, removing the po files from the core repo (https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_Splitting_and_Shrinking) It's not a trivial process as it requires several changes, but I noticed that: After a git clone: `git count-objects -vH` returns 3.67/4.23 GiB (cannot remember the correct number, but high!) After a repack [1]: ~755 MiB The command I used: `git gc --aggressive --prune=now` I think we should schedule that command on the git server (it took around 3 hours on a small VPS) to reduce its size. I am available if you need any helps for that task. Cheers, Jonathan PS: you may need to increase the windowMemory value with: `git config --global pack.windowMemory 256m` [1] https://git-scm.com/docs/git-repack Spoiler: After removing the po file, and a repack, the repo index size is 127MiB
