Until there is a catastrophic failure of apt-get combined with dselect I feel that any capable admin would appreciate keeping them. Efficiency, flexibility and warning levels are quite sufficient. Best - Paul Who has however found one "package" (in the loosest sense of the word) that has the ability to either invisibly use the '-f' or circumvent it. From memory, in a *desktop* environment, if you don't want to use Unity, but go for "Gnome 2 classic" with 'gnome-session-fallback' or somesuch, it will install the i386 version of gcc and its libraries. You then can delete them with no apparent ill effect. But this is the [non-damaging] exception to prove the rule. Most current/new users of Koha will be using an AMD64 *server*.

Hi Tomas, Follow up: just finished brand new install 12.04.1 LTS plus Koha 3.8.4 (restore of the production sql dump) on the sandbox, absolutely identical to the production server, except Koha is "out-of-the box" with no customization at all.

Still trying to get authorities to link in 3.8, until now based on bug (8071), but have come across bug 7284 (included in 3.6.5?) but am now confused by <http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Bug7284_authority_matching_improvement#…> which states in more general terms "If you upgrade from 3.6 to 3.8, the authority matching won't work anymore until you've updated the zebra configuration file". It also says that file: etc/[koha/?]zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/authorities/koha-indexdefs-to-zebra.xsl should exist -- but it is absent from my 3.8 (the other two are there) in production and the sandbox: paul@nelson:/etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/authorities$ ls authority-koha-indexdefs.xml authority-zebra-indexdefs.xsl record.abs Given that our "master" db comes from 3.6.1, am I missing an intermediate step? tnx and br -- paul

Signed off patches to the patches list?

26 Sep '12

Hi! http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration still says "It is still considered good practice to send the signed off patch to the patches mailing list", but it seems that few folks do it and using git bz seems to have made this practice obsolete. Any objections to deleting this line and the command that accomplishes it? Best regards, Magnus libriotech.no

Bug 8071 has "4 files changed". The 3.8.5 tarball has /authorities/blinddetail-biblio-search.pl /C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm /C4/Biblio.pm but I can't find .../authorities/blinddetail-biblio-search.tt -- is this generated? or where can I find it? It exists on my sandbox and production as /usr/share/koha/intranet/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/authorities/blinddetail-biblio-search.tt -- the lines correspond (more or less) to the "attachment" for the bug, but I cannot follow the edit: what does @@ -13,24 +13,6 @@ mean? I can rem out lines 13-24 (actually 17-33 in my 3.8.4 according to the "-" lines that Fridolyn SOMERS wrote), but what is +13,6? I don't see an obvious "+". I need to get our production server running after proof of concept on the sandbox. Can someone please tell me where to find a "modded bug 8071" copy of blinddetail-biblio-search.tt? At the moment, our cataloguers have put about 450 biblios into our production database since we upgraded to 3.8.4 on 14 September - either I can get 3.8.4 past this glitch, or I can restore 3.6.1 on the production server and tell our cataloguers to start over ... Again, I realize that I will be told "this is not the way to do it", but I tried installing|upgrading 3.8.5 over the top of 3.8.4 (on the sandbox, using 'perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log') and ended up with a bigger muddle (only in part attributable to our customization, but my customization scripts were written for 3.8.4, so I would have to start over) so need to try just replacing the 4 files (sandbox restored from backup to 3.8.4 - now working pre-bug8071 again.) Thanks for your understanding. Paul

yuipath

Hi, Did a git fetch right now. Current master seems to have a broken opac display when pointing yuipath to Yahoo. Setting it back to local resolves the display. Do you see it too? Since some yui files were removed or moved around, you may know what happened and/or is needed? Thanks, Marcel

Google seem to be quite keen on the 'minify' principle (see <http://code.google.com/p/minify/>.) It has started pushing me towards looking at various combinations of 'minify' (in itself not a great saver, as stated above, as it seems just to remove white space and comments then unify logic on a single line basis), 'combination' (which might have limits with the variety of somewhat older browsers) and x-cache which has advantages, but only in a stable environment -- try changing a favicon ;={ First thoughts from my end seem to point towards combining (css files separately from js at this point in time) into what's needed to display the page ("instant gui gratification") and what can be slightly delayed ("page functions") and getting the download server==>client in the correct order. Best - Paul

Debian Squeeze packages and CPAN for master
by Zeno Tajoli 26 Sep '12

Hi to all I'm testing a patch and so I have installed the master version from git (ver.3.09.00.057). After the commands sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/debian.packages sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade the command "perl koha_perl_deps.pl -m -u" gives me a list of perl modules to install I find this situation: a)Modules in debian squeeze with a correct version: Cache::Memcached::Fast [libcache-memcached-fast-perl in debian] DBD::Mock [libdbd-mock-perl in debian] Test::MockModule [libtest-mockmodule-perl in debian] Test::Strict [libtest-strict-perl in debian] Test::YAML::Valid [libtest-yaml-valid-perl in debian] Time::Progress [libtime-progress-perl in debian] b)Modules in debian squeeze with a too early version: DateTime::Format::MySQL JSON::Any MooseX::Storage String::RewritePrefix c)Modulese not in debian squeeze: CHI CHI::Driver::Memcached Data::Pagination Data::Paginator Template::Plugin::HtmlToText For MooseX::Types I don't understand the exact situation. Do I prepare a patch for install_misc/debian.packages with all packages in a) section ? For b) section, are we sure of required versions of all packages ? Bye Zeno Tajoli -- Dott.
