Tidying .mailmap for release
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

I've attached a patch with small changes to the .mailmap file on the prohect source tree. [1] The file is important (at least) for those not showing correctly on the release notes. Please check the release notes [2] and if you find any trouble add a followup or just email me. And sign the previous patches of course :-D The last mappings section is important for companies or institutions to be attributed the work from their people. For example: <tcohen(a)psi.unc.edu.ar> <tomascohen(a)gmail.com> maps the personal email I use (on Gmail) to my institutional one, so the script that generates the release notes can map the insitutional domain to the proper institution name. That said, please provide feedback on this last part too, the way you want your institution to show, and what domains should be mapped. Thanks in advance.

Koha YouTube channel
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi, for uploading the recent KohaCon14 video, I'be been playing with YouTube (how to create a channel, add subtitles, etc) because I didn't want to 'own' the video (it was created by/for the community). So I created a YouTube channel named Koha. Later I found a way to grant Liz the rights to manage it (she already does with the community site). I'm not sure we will make use of the channel soon, for other purposes (there are dozens of videos for Koha spreaded all around). But if you have any comments, or stuff to discuss/add to it, please let us know, or just put them on this thread. Regards Tomás

RFC: LDAP login fallback
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

If you take a look at bug 12831 [1] you will notice it reads as an important bug, but hasn't got much attention. The main reason the bug is stuck is that there's no consensus on what the fallback functionality use case(s) would be. My POV is that we should identify previous behaviour and restore it. As a non-LDAP user I think the logic should work as a simple fallback: Login fails (different reasons, take care of that as a future enhancement) => retry, with the local DB. It doens't seem difficult to implement. But as a non-expert LDAP user I don't know the usual use cases. Please share your use cases and/or comment here and on the bug itself so we have chances to fix this (bug?) for the release in less than two weeks. Thanks in advance Tomás [1] http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12831

tests for utf-8
by Zeno Tajoli 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hi to all, at http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13264 I have insert a very basic test on utf-8 on Opac. This test need a specif enviromet: -- working zebraserver -- wokrking background indexer -- the base url of intranet in env variable KOHA_INTRANET_URL -- the base url of opac in env variable KOHA_OPAC_URL if the enviroment is not good, all test are skipped, not a faliure. To do the tests I need to records, one Unimarc and one MARC21. A question about writting patch: Is it better to have a specific patch only for the two iso2709 records ? Is it a good idea to insert in the git archive a version of two record in a flat/open format (like '.mrk' of MarcEdit) ? Reading the code I find an other test that covers utf-8: t/db_dependent/Koha_Database.t Bye Zeno Tajoli -- Dr. Zeno Tajoli Soluzioni per la Ricerca Istituzionale - Automazione Biblioteche z.tajoli(a)cineca.it fax +39 02 2135520 CINECA - Sede operativa di Segrate
