Koha on docker on Centos 7
by Waylon Robertson 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Scrapping the idea of setting up koha on centos 7 for a moment, might be too difficult, an answer might lie with docker. Why redo the work when the work is already done? Found this docker: QuantumObject/docker-koha | | | | | | | | | | | QuantumObject/docker-koha docker-koha - Open-source integrated library system running on container. | | | | I already have a old database, from I think a koha 3.2 install, Could i use this, with a external volume for the zebradb, external mysql server, and will then koha update my database for me, and use it? | | Virus-free. www.avast.com |

Koha 17 on Centos 7
by Waylon Robertson 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Is there instructions somewhere, that tell me how to install koha 17 on centos 7? Does anyone have any hints? Do i really have to one by one, install all those dependancies that the dependancy script says? or is there a faster way? Waylon | | Virus-free. www.avast.com |

by Jonathan Druart 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Here is my wish list for tomorrow :) Priority is bugs: blockers, criticals, majors then normals (as usual, right?) Then: Test suite improvement: Bug 18055 - Speed up '00-strict.t' test Bug 18979 - Speed up 'valid-templates.t' tests TT syntax for notices: Bug 17981 - Add the ability to preview generated notice templates (and parents!) Refactoring: Bug 18149 - Move CountUsage calls to Koha namespace Bug 18595 - Move C4::Members::Messaging to Koha namespace Bug 19059 - Move C4::Reserves::CancelReserve to the Koha::Hold->cancel (and parents!) Feedback needed on: Bug 17600 - Standardize the EXPORT Others: Bug 18298 - Enforce password complexity Bug 17380 - Resolve several problems related to Default authority framework I have created a pad with the list of the bugs in the "Signed Off" queue (generated now): https://annuel2.framapad.org/p/koha-qa-print-Sept-1-2017 It may be useful to track down who is working on what (add your name on the right for instance? Remove the line from the list if done, etc?). Feel free to suggest something else if it does not fit. Cheers, Jonathan

Where is the BIG RED WARNING button?
by Jonathan Druart 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Hi devs, I started the discussion during today's dev meeting. As RM I realise that I need a big red warning button to push to trigger help when there is something urgent to do. The last problem has been the already famous checkin issues (see bug 18966 and ancestors). They were marked as "blocker" for the last 2 months and affected all the stable releases. I tried to alert you several times but I did not really receive the attention needed. There are several ways to help you to know easily what is waiting for urgent attention: - The dashboard displays a "bug tracker health status" which shows blocker, critical and major bugs (http://dashboard.koha-community.org) - This section can be easily displayed on your own bug tracker using http://dashboard.koha-community.org/bz_status - I report on the kanban the tasks waiting for help, there is also a red "important" tag to highlight some. The columns list the bugs in the different queues with the most importants on top ( https://tree.taiga.io/project/joubu-koha-rm-1711/kanban) - The "what's on in koha-devel" email list the bugs that are waiting for love I am not sure what I can do more to match your workflow, and I do not think I should propose something else. I really would like to avoid individual and repeated pings. I do not provide paid support to any customers and then, I do not understand why I care more about blocker and critical than paid support companies. If you do not think it is important, why should I? :) This discussion has to be done and answers to be given, I do not plan to push anything "big" until we have a solution. Indeed I do not want to take the risk to face another situation like that. Cheers, Jonathan

Circulation Rules RFC - new proposed frontend
by Jesse 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

I've updated the proposed UI at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Circulation_Rules_Interface_and_Backen… . Please see the notes below the screenshots, but the essential idea is a hybrid of the old and (formerly proposed) new UIs, with a table that grows as needed. Comments appreciated. If you wish to try out this very early prototype, please see https://github.com/pianohacker/koha, branch bz15522 (or visit https://github.com/pianohacker/koha/tree/bz15522) The page in question is admin/policy.pl, and the relevant code is at .../prog/js/src/admin/policy.js . Background: the core idea of this new circulation rules project is to allow librarians to specify only those rules that they need to be different, and let the rest inherit from more general settings. This should result in a more pleasant workflow, especially for large libraries, and a UI that no longer scrolls off the side of your monitor. -- Jesse Weaver

Is the "sms" directory just garbage?
by David Cook 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

Hi all, I'm just going through the Koha codebase and making sure everything compiles, and I stumbled upon sms/sms_listen_windows_start.pl: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=sms/sms_listen_win dows_start.pl;h=a94dc9589d112c2ae70994c61f91570b68375f8f;hb=HEAD It looks like it's a script for Windows, which the community doesn't remotely support, plus the code doesn't really make any sense. ./sms/sms_listen.pl also looks like garbage to me. So does ./sms/sms.pl. Everyone reckon it would be safe to remove both of these scripts from Koha? Looks like they're about 7+ years old.

[SIGNED_OFF] labels
by Marcel de Rooy 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

Hi all, I would favor stopping the use of adding [SIGNED_OFF] labels to patches when it is not strictly needed (which normally is the case). Only when (exceptionally) a few patches are signed and a few are not on one report, I could see its use. At this moment they need to be obsoleted manually with git bz. Can we stop adding them ?
