Hi :) https://koha-community.org/support/koha-mailing-lists/ > If anyone else is running a Koha list and would like it added, please > join and send a note to the Koha Developer’s List above. So I guess update requests should be also sent here. https://www.mail-archive.com/find.php?q=koha => not found solution: update the URL https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=all&q=koha http://web.archiveorange.com/ => hosts another thing unrelated now -- Victor Grousset, dev support/maintenance BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Libre/Open Source software and services for libraries

Explainshell entry for koha package utilities (and thoughts about ubuntu repos)
by Barton Chittenden 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

Explainshell.com is a very nifty site that will parse the man pages that they know about, and then tell you what a given command line does. For example, given the command line yaz-marcdump -i marc -o marc -f utf-8 -t marc8 -l 9=20 filenametoconvert.mrc Explainshell will tell you what the -i, -o, -f, -t and -l options do: https://explainshell.com/explain?cmd=yaz-marcdump+-i+marc+-o+marc+-f+utf-8+… I honestly wasn't expecting it to know about yaz-marcdump.... but since it does, I tried koha-create... and it doesn't know about that. Apparently it looks at Ubuntu's man-page repository ( http://manpages.ubuntu.com/) ... so ... we're not there. I don't know how much of a pain it is to get into, say, the ubuntu multiverse or ubuntu partner repos. I could see issues with some of our more bleeding edge dependencies... but it would be pretty awesome to just use a straight 'apt install koha' to get koha... and also to be able to use explainshell for koha-utilities.

announcing Urungi, business intelligence made easy for Koha
by Paul Poulain 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

Hello all, BibLibre is working for a while on a new tool to build statistics & dashboard (http://www.urungi.org) to complete the Koha reports module (Unix philosophy : 1 tool for 1 thing). I consider that it's now ready for production (we'll begin to deploy it to our customers) We still have many things on our roadmap (https://kanboard.biblibre.com/public/board/fc524fef4df4404a551f2315511d15d3…) What exist works well though What's next for the Koha community & developers ? * play a bit with our demo platform: https://demo-urungi.biblibre.com/#/home (test/test), linked to a koha DB (French inside !) * give it a try : https://github.com/biblibre/urungi/ * you'll need to create layers for Koha. The good news is that we already have made some for you. The bad news is that we made it in French. So, just ask, I'll send it to you, translate to English, the Koha community will thank you ;) * the "hidden" feature : URL #/export => export anything from Urungi #/import => import anything into Urungi * share your layers, dashboards, ... * join the fun, submit pull requests, ... PS: if anyone is using Mantis as support platform, we're also creating layers&dashboards for Mantis. Next will probably be Coral. PS2: if anyone is willing to sponsor some features, we're open, as usual. -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Using unsanitized data in regular expressions
by David Cook 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

Hi all, I encountered a problem recently where create-pdf.pl was stuck in an infinite loop because a string passed into '$line =~ s/$1//;' in C4::Patroncards::Patroncard contained "(TEST)" and it was treating the parentheses as metacharacters and not literal values. I fixed the problem by changing the line to '$line =~ s/\Q$1\E//;', so that anything in $1 would be escaped, but it got me thinking about other parts of Koha. I'm not saying that it's necessarily a problem in other parts of Koha, but that it might be good to be mindful of it.
