Git whitespace warnings on DOS files
by Marcel de Rooy 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi all, Does anyone of you know how to get rid of whitespace warnings in git in the following scenario. (See also bugzilla patch 6803). (Note that I am using git version 1.6.0.6.) If you have a higher version and do not have the warnings, please let me know. Applying patch /usr/share/koha/rma/patches/6803-mods-xsl-v35.patch /usr/share/koha/rma/patches/6803-mods-xsl-v35.patch:27: trailing whitespace. <xsl:include href="MARC21slimUtils-MODS31.xsl"/> /usr/share/koha/rma/patches/6803-mods-xsl-v35.patch:37: trailing whitespace. --> warning: 2 lines add whitespace errors. The whitespace warnings are related to the CRs (carriage return) on those lines, since the file is still in DOS format (koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/MARC21slim2MODS3-1.xsl). Thanks, Marcel

memcached and repcached
by Paul 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

In an effort to get maximum performance (read speed) out of the latest Koha (3.04.05 -- hope to have it in production next week), I looked at memcached, then found repcached which might or might not help -- it might even be DOA, but then again it might help using two IPs for koha and koha-admin <https://github.com/mdounin/memcached/tree/repcached> Has anyone else looked into or fiddled with this? tnx Paul Tired old sys-admin

Hi this sounds like an excellent idea. unfortunately the program is full atm. but i am sure we can accommodate you in place of some one canceling at the last moment. or for this kind of topic, we can even have a parallel session.. if you want to interact with the developers we are going to have a hackfest from 4th nov to 6th nov. since there is no fixed program for that, you can achieve your objective there too..

Commentary on Paul's Koha 3.8 Release Manager proposal
by Ian Walls 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Everyone, Enclosed is my response to Paul Poulain's proposal for Koha 3.8 Release Manager. The details of his document can be found here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Proposal_paul_p_RM38 I thoroughly agree that the time has come to start thinking beyond the next stable release, and on to Koha 4.0. Those of you who have seen either my presentation at KohaCon 2010's hackfest or KUDOScon 2011 know I'm very excited about the possibilities of where we can take Koha in it's next major iteration. However, I disagree with a couple of the details of Paul's proposal. The major disagreement is with the timeline. The proposal as it stands is to start working on Koha 3.8 and Koha 4.0 in parallel, with Koha 3.8 releasing April 2012, and Koha 4.0 releasing Oct. 2012. I feel that going from Koha 3.8 directly to 4.0 is unwarranted. To my mind, there are many possible releases between 3.8 and 4.0, like 3.10, 3.12, 3.14 and so forth. This is supported by the actual database version numbers in Koha: the current release is actually 3.04.04; the zeros are squashed out for convenience. I would counter that, while we should continue releasing new features every 6 months on the 3.X line, Koha 4.0 should be defined by it's features. Paul's proposal calls several features to be key, including Solr integration, database abstraction, updated online help, improved authentication stack and automated tests. I agree that all these things are important and should be worked towards, but I'm not convinced they should be the sum total of the changes that define Koha 4.0 I would like to see the following in Koha 4.0: - arbitrary metadata formats (beyond MARC) - arbitrary biblio relationships - full support for authority records, including uploading through the GUI, automatic linking, "explode" searching and more - improvements to the borrower data structure (fewer pre-defined data fields, more flexibility) - separation of "receiving" and "payment" in acquisitions - serials import and export (MFHD, prediction patterns, etc) - many, many more things I think that the community should meet and discuss what features are both desirable and reasonably likely to be completed in the next few years (is there interest by libraries to sponsor these developments, or from developers to code it "for fun"?). Once a feature set is agreed on to "define" Koha 4.0, the developers of these features would meet to hash out what underlying structural changes would be required to make them happen. Hopefully commonalities could be found, so that the underlying structure could be developed in a way that accommodates multiple developments at once. Identifying these prerequisite changes early on would reduce the difficulties of rebasing developments, since we'd all be working off a similar set of base assumptions. It would also provide a reasonable basis for excluding or delaying developments that don't fit into the overall plan. Once the features were chosen and a framework for their development agreed upon, it would be time to code. The development and submission process would be the same as it is now (basing patches off master and submitting to the patches listserv and Bugzilla). As new features become ready, they would be incorporated into the time-based 3.X releases by the release manager for that particular cycle. This way, what works is made available, and what needs more time continues to be tested until it's stable for production use. Once all the agreed upon features were ready, it would be time to release Koha 4.0. Hopefully, that would be with 1-2 years, but there would be flexibility here. One of my other issues with the proposal was the "lightening" of Quality Assurance standards for the first 3 months of the 3.8 release cycle. If operating under the 1 year time frame for Koha 4.0 as outlined in Paul's proposal, this would seem necessary in order to get everything included in time. Unfortunately, while the next 3 months would be dedicated to clean up of features rolled in, there is never any guarantee of bug fixes being generated in a timely fashion. You cannot force people to write or sign off on bug fixes; we're all free agents here. So code that has not been rigourously tested could get in and stay in for a long time, long after 4.0 would release, because no one knows how to test it or fix it. However, if we operate under my proposed model, all code could continue to operate under the same quality assurance standards, and nothing that is broken or otherwise incomplete would make it in until it was ready. Releases would still come out every 6 months, even if a major development was inoperable, until that development could be completed. This has been a long email, so let me sum up. I think: - we should continue to release Koha 3.8, 3.10, 3.12 etc on 6 month cycles using the current community practices for feature inclusion - we should, as a community, meet and decide what features we want to define Koha 4.0 - the developers of those features should get together and come up with a unified plan for accomplishing them all, in a way that requires minimal rebasing - as new features become stable and tested, they should be folded into the 3.X line until all the features defined as "Koha 4.0" are ready - Once all the agreed upon features are complete, Koha 4.0 is then released. I've already gotten some feedback on this in today's Koha IRC meeting, but I'd very much like to hear what the rest of the community thinks about this, particular in relation to Paul's proposal for 3.8 Release Manager. Our time is limited for discussion, as the election time draws near, but hopefully I've made my thoughts clear enough for a dialogue to get started. Please let me know if I've been at all unclear.

Koha 3.4.5 -- does it fix the "detect duplicates" when importing records?
by Hartman, David W. - GBTS Library 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Does anyone know if this upgrade 3.4.5 will fix the "detect duplicates" feature when importing records? When I import records, Koha cannot identify the duplicate records (even though the ISBNs are identical). I have reported the problem to the bug fixers but was wondering if the upgrade fixes it. -----Original Message----- From: koha-devel-bounces(a)lists.koha-community.org [mailto:koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org] On Behalf Of Chris Nighswonger Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 7:44 AM To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz; koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org; koha-translate(a)lists.koha-community.org Subject: [Koha-devel] Koha 3.4.5 is now available It is with pleasure that I announce the release of Koha 3.4.5.
