Copyright headers in new Koha files
by Robin Sheat 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Hi, just a bit of a poke as I've noticed this in a number of places when I go looking to copy-paste an example from somewhere else: a lot of newly created files don't have a copyright header. As well as just being a good thing to do, it's necessary should Koha go into something like Debian. And while you're thinking about copyright headers, think about code documentation. Some of it has none at all. I'll let someone else figure out how to identify that though :) This is just looking in the Koha:: namespace, as that's mostly new stuff. If these files were created/edited by you, you should go paste a header in. $ for f in `ack -L 'Copyright'` ; do echo "$f:" ; git blame --porcelain $f | grep -E '^author ' | sort | uniq | sed -e 's/^author / /' ; done SearchEngine.pm: Jonathan Druart QueryParser/Driver/PQF/query_plan/node/atom.pm: Jared Camins-Esakov QueryParser/Driver/PQF/query_plan/facet.pm: Jared Camins-Esakov QueryParser/Driver/PQF/query_plan/node.pm: Jared Camins-Esakov QueryParser/Driver/PQF/query_plan/modifier.pm: Jared Camins-Esakov QueryParser/Driver/PQF/query_plan/filter.pm: Jared Camins-Esakov QueryParser/Driver/PQF/query_plan.pm: Jared Camins-Esakov QueryParser/Driver/PQF/Util.pm: Jared Camins-Esakov QueryParser/Driver/PQF.pm: Jared Camins-Esakov SearchEngine/ConfigRole.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Index.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Search.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Zebra.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/QueryBuilder.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Solr.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/SearchRole.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/IndexRole.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/FacetsBuilderRole.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/QueryBuilderRole.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/FacetsBuilder.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Solr/Index.pm: Colin Campbell Jared Camins-Esakov Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Solr/Search.pm: Jonathan Druart Mason James SearchEngine/Solr/QueryBuilder.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Solr/FacetsBuilder.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Solr/Config.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Config.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Zebra/Search.pm: Jonathan Druart SearchEngine/Zebra/QueryBuilder.pm: Jonathan Druart -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

Zebra : left truncation and left+right truncation with ICU
by Mathieu Saby 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Hello Since dec. 2012, the new version of Zebra (2.0.53) has fix the support of @attr 5=2, @attr 5=3 for ICU records. http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/NEWS This could be a good news for people using ICU, for example French libraries. When Koha is installed, I don't know if a specific version of Zebra is installed with it, or if it is the last available version of Zebra. Could you tell me how it works? If it is not the last available version, it could be interesting to install 2.0.53 version, so we could support @attr 5=2, @attr 5=3. But maybe some changes must also be made to Koha's code for taking advantage of this bugfix? Regards, M.

Hello 2 says ago, I updated my Koha instance and got a nasty error. I thought it was my fault, but today I tried to test BZ 10309 (the new opac theme ) on sandbox1, and I experienced the same error : http://pro.test1.biblibre.com/ Software error: Can't locate Crypt/Eksblowfish/Bcrypt.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/koha/src /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/koha/src/C4/Auth.pm line 26.

Hi, I have marked the enhancement and new feature freeze bugs that have either passed QA or are on my exception list with the keyword rel_3_14_candidates. You can view the list here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?keywords=rel_3_14_cand… Tomorrow morning I'll mark any that may have passed QA in the next four hours since the writing of this email. I'll be doing a lot of merging over the next few days, and aim to cut an alpha tarball towards the end of next week, with a beta tarball to follow some time during KohaCon.

General questions from a first-patcher
by Philippe Blouin 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Holà Koha! First to present myself, I'm a new developper on Koha. I work for inLibro, which has been a Koha proponent for a while now. All our changes, enhancements and bug fixes have been local so far, meaning we patched for each library as they needed. We got a bundle of those to contribute to the community. Fixes and enhancements. To get the hang of it, I started with three small ones (after dutifully reading the wiki, blog and asking irc questions), but I'm sure I screwed up a few things. I will appreciate _any_ and _every_ constructive comments you can make on the following: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6201 http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8753 http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10951 Questions: - I work with patches. I used git-bz for one, and manual for the others. Now how to I email to patch mailing list? I just copy the content? I comment it? Do I add the [PATCH] in the header or some tool could have done all that for me? (my server can't send email, so I'm not sure if git-bz should have done it) - My local branch names are bug_XXXX from the master. But I'm not sure if that must be commited. Some wiki (contribute!) only talks about sending a patch. Others (http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commit_messages) talk about it. Can you enlighten me? Long text for two questions. Sorry. But I need that clarified before I start piling up fixes :) Very best regards, Blou -- Philippe Blouin, Responsable du développement informatique Tél. : (888) 604-2627 philippe.blouin(a)inLibro.com <mailto:philippe.blouin@inLibro.com> inLibro | pour esprit libre | www.inLibro.com <http://www.inLibro.com>

Bug (or something) repeatedly loading the same URL over and over.
by Robin Sheat 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

I just saw a thing that I've seen a few times before, and have heard anecdotally that others have too. The problem is that something hits the same URL over and over, eventually knocking over the server. I have some theories, but they're hard to test because this is a rare thing to happen, so I want to see if anyone else has seen something like this. It seems like some kind of search complete or similar running, however CircAutocompl is off. This is a 3.6 machine, though I think I've also seen it on 3.8. Haven't had anything higher running in prod long enough to tell. The log is below. I've reordered it to be when the request is issued rather than when it finishes to make it clearer, and added my speculation in. This is a real request by a human to view details. 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:01 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/members/moremember.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 200 7202 This is some kind of automatic process that autocompletes, or something, that's going out of control. There's more of them, but you get the drift: 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:06 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:07 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:07 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:07 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:07 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:07 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:09 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:07 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:07 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:09 +1200] "POST /cgi-bin/koha/members/member.pl HTTP/1.1" 504 270 I don't know what this is or what it's doing here: 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:11 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:18 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:10 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:12 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:10 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:13 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:11 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:11 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:12 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:13 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:12 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:17 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 172.20.2.200 - - [27/Sep/2013:13:29:16 +1200] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?borrowernumber=16653 HTTP/1.1" 504 270 It just keeps going like this until I stop apache, and when I start it up again, this doesn't immediately recur. My theory is that there's some javascript somewhere that just loses it and goes mad, but I don't know. Any ideas? This only comes up once every few months, but when it does, it can take the server down. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
