Hi Martin, Thanks for that info! I have a pause account already, so maybe I should look at tracking down one of those people… I probably won’t have time to work on this for a while, but a long-term fix might be to take over maintenance of that module… I suppose I’m not a bad option as I find encryption interesting and who doesn’t want to maintain a CPAN module? :p David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St, Ultimo, NSW 2007 From: Renvoize, Martin [mailto:martin.renvoize@ptfs-europe.com] Sent: Monday, 22 February 2016 7:22 PM To: David Cook <dcook(a)prosentient.com.au> Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] NorwegianPatronDB One can request to take over maintenence of abandoned cpan modules. You need a pause account obviously to start with, then need to find someone to add your commit bit to the repository for the abandoned module.

Hi Blou, The Debian package version should be fine. It’s the CPAN version which is not fine. While this isn’t a problem for Debian users, it is a problem for those of us who don’t use Debian. I’ve tried contacting the CPAN author but they’ve ignored or not received my messages. I see Martin has emailed as well though, so I’ll look at that now… David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St, Ultimo, NSW 2007 From: Philippe Blouin [mailto:philippe.blouin@inlibro.com] Sent: Tuesday, 16 February 2016 12:50 AM To: David Cook <dcook(a)prosentient.com.au>; 'Tomas Cohen Arazi' <tomascohen(a)gmail.com>; 'Manos PETRIDIS' <egpetridis(a)gmail.com> Cc: koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org Subject: [***SPAM*** Score/Req: 05.5/5.0] Re: [Koha-devel] NorwegianPatronDB Actually, I did fix it using the debian package on debian 7.5.

Greetings, I continued looking at the failing tests more. Has anyone worked on solving the Circulation_Issuingrule test failure from http://jenkins.koha-community.org/view/Koha%20master/job/Koha_Master_D7/680… If not, check out 16186 (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16186) 16185 and 16186 should be the last of the problems that need sign off.
