My dockerizing journey: sign off requests (please?)
by Mark Tompsett 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Greetings, Thanks to everyone that pointed me at various things. It’s helped point me in a workable direction, I believe. However, what would be even more useful are getting sign offs for some bugs: Bug 14533<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14533> - koha-create --use-db option shouldn't create any db or db user https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14533 Bug 18564<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18564> - koha-common.cnf parsing is too restrictive https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18564 Bug 9409<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9409> - koha-create --request-db should be able to accept a dbhost option https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9409 These three bugs would let me set environment variables to build a temporary password file to then setup access to a pre-existing remote database. Granted, there might still be problems: Bug 16690<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16690> - Installing DB on remote server fails without *.* permissions https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16690 Which tangentially touches on: Bug 17237<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17237> - Stop koha-create from creating MySQL users without host restriction https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17237 Though, there is nothing to sign off yet for this one. I’d prefer to not custom roll a distribution, but rather seek community assistance in pushing these bugs through. However due to time constraints, I probably will roll one, even if it is probably not the best way to roll one (https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Building_Debian_Packages_-_The_Easy_Way) GPML, Mark Tompsett

Suggestions requested for a feature / enhancement based around opac-retrieve-file.pl
by Indranil Das Gupta 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Hi all, the current Koha::Upload.pm and opac-retrieve-file.pl allows for a uploaded file (e.g. PDF) to be displayed on the OPAC as long as the flag is set to public. I know how many librarians feel about reader history privacy and they are protective about it for good reason. In this context, I'm faced with the following two use-cases: In India, e-books with archival rights are gaining ground over hardcopy. As it happens the buyer (institutional library) has to give an undertaking that it will implement reasonable safeguards to ensure that while all their bonafide users should have access to the books, these shall not be presented to the users in such as way as to permit un-monitored access / downloads by un-authenticated users etc along with maintenance of any access log for any necessary compliance. Or for example PhD theses where many institutions across India have an embargo on the full-text online access for non-members for a period upto 2 years from the date of publication, but no such restriction exist for bonafide authorised users. I am working on an early stage prototype to support this sort of functionality. My question here to you all is that how far are we open as devs and librarians to accept such an extension into Koha? Of course, there would be a syspref that will have to be set for the functionality to kick in. Suggestions? Comments? regards indranil -- 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

Re: [Koha-devel] KohaCon hackfest
by BOUIS Sonia 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Hi devs, I hope that the KohaCon have been successful ! We organize a testing party during the French koha symposium on Wednesday, so we will try to sign off these bugs : https://frama.link/Koha_academy_NSO_bugs (Thanks Jonathan for the links) If You have other bugs easy to test on sandboxes, don't hesitate to alert me so I could add it to our list. Nice week-end, Sonia Message: 2 Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2017 17:37:07 +0000 From: Jonathan Druart <jonathan.druart(a)bugs.koha-community.org> To: KohaCon 17 <kohacon17(a)gmail.com>, ASLP Board <aslplibrarians(a)gmail.com>, "koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org" <koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org> Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] KohaCon hackfest Message-ID: <CAJzKNY4kCXJQaDgOdozmNF88NJ5QX38A+_n=OHsfhTricQaCug(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hello Eugene (cc koha-devel list), I had planned to contact you this week to know if you need help, you beat me to it! We have refreshed a bit our wiki pages about how to get involved in the community, so I guess it may be a good read: https://wiki.koha-community.orgneed technical help/wiki/Getting_involved <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Getting_involved> It will depend on how the participants want to help, but I think you can ask Paul to show you how the sanboxes work, to signoff on patches. I CCed the Koha developers list so they know you need easy patches to test. We usually add the "academy" tag to bug reports easy to test. I have created a search for that: https://frama.link/Koha_academy_NSO_bugs There are only 5 so far but we will try and add more in the next days. If you catch some librarians that are willing to install Koha on their laptop you should guide them to Koha Dev Box (a wiki page should be created before the end of the week, otherwise there is a readme on the dedicated page of the project: https://github.com/digibib/kohadevbox ) You should also join the IRC channel if you need technical help or have any Koha related questions. Cheers, Jonathan ************************************
