Dockerized Koha
by David Cook 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

Hi all, I've noticed a few people asking about Koha in Docker in production lately. Do we have any appetite for starting to create a production-ready Dockerized Koha?

Roadmap 23.11
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

Hi all, better late than never, here's the roadmap site for the upcoming 23.11 release: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roadmap_for_23.11 As mentioned a few times already, that's where you should put your goals for the cycle, and the things you're willing to participate on. That way the release team knows who to reach and what to track. Enhancements and new features outside the roadmap document will have lesser priority for our non-infinite time. Team work is expected to take place. Best regards -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (https://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F

Synchronizing a Koha database with kohastructure.sql (Bug 34064)
by David Cook 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

Hi all, I think we've all encountered issues with a Koha database being out of sync with kohastructure.sql, and it's not a fun experience to have. Today, I ran into items.paidfor columns that have survived long past a 20.11.00 upgrade. While looking to resolve that across all my instances, I was thinking how there could be other quirks as well, so I thought it would be nice to have an audit script: "Bug 34064 - Compare kohastructure.sql against current database using database audit script" It's not 100% perfect, but it does a very good job of detecting differences between a live Koha database and kohastructure.sql, and provides suggestions on how to remedy the database. It could be further improved, but I'm quite happy with this first draft. I'd like to be able to run it using koha-foreach to get a sense of how in-sync my Koha databases are on a server.

Inventory improvements
by David Cook 18 Jun '23

18 Jun '23

Hi all, It's probably not the right time of year for inventory.pl improvements, but I've got a raft of changes for improving inventory.pl: Bug 31744 - Inventory tool can take a long time and never complete Bug 33989 - Inventory tool performs unnecessary authorized value lookups Bug 34051 - Koha::AuthorisedValues->get_description_by_koha_field not caching results for non-existent values If you dislike how slow inventory.pl is and how it has a tendency to timeout in managed IT environments, then you'll probably like these changes. I've applied the first 2 locally, and my librarians are much happier as a result.

Conflict between libossp-uuid-perl and libdata-uuid-perl
by Nigel Titley 16 Jun '23

16 Jun '23

I'm currently running 22.05.13-1 (oldoldstable) on Ubuntu Focal and I'm trying to update to 22.11.06-3 (oldstable) and perhaps eventually to stable However I'm getting the following complaint from apt The following packages have unmet dependencies: libossp-uuid-perl : Conflicts: libdata-uuid-perl E: Broken packages As far as I can see the sympa package depends on libossp-uuid-perl and koha depends on libdata-uuid-perl Before I start the laborious process of moving either Koha or Sympa to a different machine can anyone suggest a fix? It looks like koha introduced a dependency on libdata-uuid-perl between oldoldstable and oldstable Thanks for any help that anyone can offer Nigel

git-bz update
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

Hi all, I wanted to mention that the 'apply_on_cascade' branch for git-bz has been updated with a merge request from Andrii and Slava to upgrade it to Python 3. It should be bundled in the latest KTD. Kudos for them, and any issues you may find, please file a report on the project site [1].
