String freeze for Koha 3.20.3
by Chris Cormack 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

Hi All It's that time again, I will be pushing no more patches that change templates (unless they are urgent) until after the release on the 22nd. So as soon as Bernardo has had time to update the po files, I'm sure he will let you know and you can bring the 3.20.x translations up to date Thanks Chris

Update on Plack support for the packages
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi fellows, Some people have vacation right now, but those who stay here won't miss the fun :-D I have just attached to bug 13791 my work on integrating Plack into the packages setup / maintenance/management scripts. I created a koha-plack script which is self explained if run with --help or (if you build the packages out of master+patchset) man koha-plack. It basically uses starman and start-stop-daemon to handle running plack instances for each Koha instance. For simplicity (we talked about this in Marseille) I've decided to take full advantage of Apache 2.4.7+ features and the results are quite interesting in terms of setup complexity (compared to current approaches). Starman is run so it listens on a UNIX Domain Socket (on the filesystem, on a deterministic location, /var/run/koha/<instance>/plack.sock) and Apache just uses ProxyPass with UDS. I also make use of variable declaration capabilities in Apache. Please take a gentle look, comment on this thread on things that could be improved, and have the ball rolling so we have out-of-the-box plack setup ready for 3.22 in November \o/ TODO: - Revisit the reverse proxy configuration - Haven't really tested packagin this yet Kind regards -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (http://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B76C 6E7C 2D80 551A C765 E225 0A27 2EA1 B2F3 C15F

No error response with wrong set on OAI-PMH
by Pablo Bianchi 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi! I notice that other implementations of OAI-PMH servers give an error when setSpec specified doesn't exist. For example: + set=foo on Koha ( <http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&fr…> ByWaters <http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&fr…> ) <http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListRecords&fr…> : List records anyway + set=foo on a Greenstone v2.82 <http://digital.bl.fcen.uba.ar/gsdl-282/cgi-bin/oaiserver.cgi?verb=ListRecor…> : Return an error. This behavior is expected? I shuld fill a bug? Cheers, Pablo PS: BTW, with the use of <?xml-stylesheet tag > that response is much nicer than Koha one!

I seem to remember (but cannot find) a suggestion? enhancement? to allow cataloguers to duplicate an existing *item*, in the same way that it can be done for biblios "Edit as new (duplicate)". Could some kind soul please point me to any work that has been done on this? Many thanks and regards, Paul

Koha Architecture
by Nicole Engard 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi all, I know we've talked about this at conferences from time to time and so I thought I'd share what I learned at one of the keynotes at OSCON. Martin Fowler gave a great talk about internal architecture in our open source projects https://opensource.com/life/15/7/never-neglect-your-projects-architecture and mentioned this article: http://martinfowler.com/bliki/DesignStaminaHypothesis.html I hope these two spark more conversations for us all :) Nicole
