Roundtable on SAX Parser settings.
by Mark Tompsett 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

Greetings, In various discussions on IRC, and in installation instructions, it seems apparent there is a lack of consistency and continuity in how SAX Parser settings should or should not be set or if another solutions, like requiring the latest MARC::File::XML, are the way to go and how should they be implemented. In the beginning, I read something like: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_tarball#Test_to_make_s… It was less clear and flushed out, but that was it. While tinkering around, I discovered something more like: sudo update-perl-sax-parsers --remove XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser sudo update-perl-sax-parsers --priority 100 --add XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser sudo update-perl-sax-parsers --update But didn't write it down, until tcohen did recently. :) Meanwhile, I noticed that all mention of it disappeared from documentation, though admittedly, I had started looking at Debian pages on the wiki and comparing them to the Ubuntu ones and cross-referencing to the INSTALL.ubuntu and INSTALL.debian files. INSTALL.debian still has references to SAX. INSTALL.ubuntu does not. Various conversations were held on IRC (MARC::File::XML, SAX Parser, libmarc-xml-perl): http://irc.koha-community.org/koha/2013-08-27#i_1372615 http://irc.koha-community.org/koha/2013-10-09#i_1400791 http://irc.koha-community.org/koha/2013-10-21#i_1407388 http://irc.koha-community.org/koha/2013-11-05#i_1416936 Ancient, but perhaps interesting reference material: http://irc.koha-community.org/koha/2010-03-31#i_417908 In these conversations, some have suggested CPAN'ing the MARC::File::XML. Though, the ancient link does suggest a useful apt-get way to grab from a different distribution (which is better than the wget, dpkg -I methodology I have used). So, there are few questions: 1) Is this still an issue? 2) If so, how do we solve it best? 3) If not, why is it no longer an issue? Hopefully, I am not discussing a dead horse, and have just not gotten the full update. GPML, Mark Tompsett

Jenkins status [was Jenkins build is back to stable : Koha_master #1475]
by Jonathan Druart 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

Hi all! I often receive emails from Jenkins: "master is unstable", "master is back to stable". Last unstable status was caused by a fail in t/db_dependent/Acquisition/Invoices.t (I think). Here Jenkins says : "it is stable, see changes". But changes are about a tt change. I don't know who fixed the failure and how it was fixed. It is frustrating not to know :) Especially because the tests pass on master with my data! Do you think it would be possible to put something in place in order to follow Jenkins ' moods? For discussion. Regards, Jonathan 2013/10/23 <chris(a)bigballofwax.co.nz>: > See <http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_master/1475/changes> >

by Daniel Grobani 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi, Chad Roseburg of North Central Regional Library has volunteered to assume the role of community newsletter editor starting with the December issue. Thanks, Chad! As I recall, when I took over from Nicole the only requirement was the willingness to do it. What's the current process for Chad to get approved by the community? Thanks, Daniel Grobani

Koha instances for different domains
by Quoc Uy 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

I'm using Koha packages install on Ubuntu. Currently i have 2 instances libraries: http://library1.mydomain.com and http://library2.mydomain.com on only 1 Koha install. My question is, how can i make 2 instances with totally different domain, for example http://library1.domain1.com and http://library2.domain2.org, on 1 Koha install? Thanks! Best regards!

Put your name on the wiki Can test patches -- now have a dedicated 64 bit sandbox for Koha running Ubuntu LTS (quad core, 8 gigs RAM, bags of disk space.) The only caveat (as above) is that testing anything concerning specifically *lending* libraries might pose problems. Never used git; I have googled, and found the official [?] manual at <http://git-scm.com/docs/user-manual.html>, but you may have other suggestions. I'll try and clone the Koha git repository (if that's the correct expression) over the next little while and let you know how I get on. Also, please correct me if I'm wrong: when 3.14 comes out 3.8 will be "old" and perhaps more or less fall off the edge of the world (like 3.6 at <http://download.koha-community.org/>?) so are we talking about product enhancements/new features? all bugs? or security patches (critical bugs) only? Best - Paul

If you'll accept a geriatric with a Ph.D. in Pure Maths (the term "computer sciences" hadn't been invented in 1964), with no experience of a "lending" library (14 years running a reference library) and who is always opinionated, occasionally not very diplomatic (so I'm told) - yes.

Heads up: upcoming creation of 3.14.x branch
by Galen Charlton 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hi, I intend to branch 3.14.x some time next week -- let's say Wednesday -- to allow passed-QA patches to continue to flow onto master, and I'll cherry-pick onto 3.14.x patches suitable for inclusion in the general release of 3.14.0 -- in other words, bugfixes that don't change strings. For the sake of simplicity, I will hold off on pushing any patches that add a DB revision until after 3.14.0 is released (unless, of course, one is needed to fix a release blocker).

Continue maintenance of 3.8?
by Galen Charlton 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

Hi, At the moment, nobody has yet volunteered to be RMaint for 3.8.x. Given that the number of bugfixes trickling down that far has slowed significantly, it seems reasonable to de-support 3.8.x when 3.14 is released, but I thought I would pose the question: is anybody keen to keep that branch going?
