Re : State of Elasticsearch support in Koha (Nick Clemens)

Hello Nick, Hello Mirko, Thanks for the wiki page for Elasticsearch support, it's really useful ! I feel frustrated because we are planning a testing day on sandboxes during the French koha symposium next week but we can't test those patches on sandboxes... That's a pity because I know motivated people that would be enthusiastic for testing patches on elasticsearch. Perhaps, there will be some tests during the hackfest at the kohacon : I read that there will be 100 attendees :) Cheers, Sonia 1. Re: State of Elasticsearch support in Koha (Nick Clemens) 2.

e-books as "virtual items"?
by Giuseppe Angilella 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

Hi, (apologies for double posting this here as well, as I think it might contain a suggestion for a possible development in Koha) I've just started populating my library's catalog with e-book readers and e-books. I've defined different item types for either e-readers and e-books, and classified the former as "equipment" and the latter as "monographs" in the appropriate MARC record fields (leader etc). For a given e-reader type (Kindle, say) I may have several items. These are distinct, as they have a different serial number, and receive therefore a distinct barcode. Similarly, they can be borrowed individually. Therefore, they perfectly qualify as "Koha items". On the other hand, an e-book is entered as a specific record (which is distinct from the record of the corresponding hardcopy, if also available), with a cross-link to the e-reader's record in the 773 MARC field. Originally, I thought that no physical item should be attached to an e-book, since it is the e-reader, and not the e-book, which can be borrowed. However, this prevents the e-book to appear in the "Browse shelf" feature, close to books with similar topic (which is very useful for patrons). One solution might be that of restricting the e-book type to "no loan", but then the cross-link to the appropriate e-reader would be contained in the record (Koha's biblioitem), and not in the item (Koha's item), which might be confusing for the patron. Another solution might be that of devising some kind of "virtual items". Several "virtual items" (say, several e-books) could be mapped onto a single (physical) "item", so that whenever the (physical) item is on loan, all of the "virtual items" contained by it are also set "on loan". A "virtual item" could then be shelved, receive a call number etc appropriately, and therefore show consistently in Koha's "browse shelf" feature. Of course, this implies a database issue: several "virtual items" would correspond to one individual physical "item": any action (loan, return, damage etc) on the latter should propagate to any corresponding virtual items as well. I would very much appreciate receiving your feedback on my thoughts above. Best regards, Giuseppe.

Koha 17.05.00 and 16.05.14 packages; repository reorganized
by Mirko Tietgen 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

1. Koha 17.05.00 Debian package released 2. Koha 16.05.14 CRITICAL bugfix Debian package released 3. Koha community repository reorganized Hi everybody, 1. Koha 17.05.00 Debian package released The Debian package for Koha 17.05.00 is now available from the Koha community repository. The package is available via the 17.05/stable pocket of the repository, more information below. 2. Koha 16.05.14 Debian package released The Debian package for Koha 16.05.14 is now available from the Koha community repository. The package is available via the 16.05/oldoldstable pocket of the repository, more information below. 3. Koha community repository reorganized The repository has been completely reorganized for the 17.05 release. A lot of obsolete dependency packages have been removed, additional configuration options are available. You have two apt configuration options now: a. Follow by codename (version number) We do not have codenames for Koha versions yet, so we use the version number instead 17.05 16.11 16.05 When a new major version is released, you will stay on the version you have chosen until you change your apt configuration. Example: Release of 17.11 If you have set "17.05" in your apt configuration, you will stay on 17.05 until you change your apt configuration to follow 17.11. To use this option, choose one of the following in your apt configuration: (for 17.05) deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha 17.05 main (for 16.11) deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha 16.11 main (for 16.05) deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha 16.05 main b. Follow by suite This has been the standard way so far: follow Koha stable or oldstable, which change every release cycle. At the moment we have stable 17.05 oldstable 16.11 There is also oldoldstable this release cycle. This suite may not be available in every release cycle. oldoldstable 16.05 When a new major version is released, suite names will change and you will upgrade to a newer branch of Koha with your next update. Example: Release of 17.11 17.11 becomes "stable", 17.05 becomes "oldstable". If you have set "stable" in your apt configuration, you will automatically upgrade from 17.05 to 17.11. To use this option, choose one of the following in your apt configuration: (for 17.05) deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable main (for 16.11) deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha oldstable main (for 16.05) deb https://debian.koha-community.org/koha oldoldstable main Cheers, Mirko -- Mirko Tietgen mirko(a)abunchofthings.net http://koha.abunchofthings.net http://meinkoha.de

State of Elasticsearch support in Koha
by Mirko Tietgen 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

Hi everybody, is there any kind of summary regarding the state of Elasticsearch support in Koha at the moment and maybe a roadmap for things that are missing? I'd like to offer the koha-elasticsearch meta package for Koha 17.05, but as Elasticsearch support is not ready for production (as far as I know), it should be accompanied by an overview of what to expect (features and bugs) to not raise false expectations. Any information would be appreciated. Cheers, Mirko -- Mirko Tietgen mirko(a)abunchofthings.net http://koha.abunchofthings.net http://meinkoha.de

[QA] QA sprint needed
by Jonathan Druart 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hi QAers, I really would like to see these 3 big works pushed ASAP in the beginning of the release cycle: * Bug 17829 - Move GetMember to Koha::Patron It will be easy to remove lot of code from controllers and make them less errors prone. I have some patches already written, for instance all the attributes of a patron are no longuer pass individually to the template. The patron object is passed everywhere and that's all! See this graph: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=17829 Everything is in the QA queue! * TT syntax for notices This is just the first step, so please make it move forward in order to have something working in 6 months! See everything under 18007: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=18007 * Bug 17600 - Standardize the EXPORT Needing QA we need it ASAP to know if it is the way to go and catch errors. In addition of these 3 works, there are more than one hundred bug reports waiting for QA. Cheers, Jonathan
