patches for 3.0.x
by Marcel de Rooy 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi all, Just a ´dumb´question from someone who just started submitting a few minor patches: Galen wrote: This patch is similar to commit 731b82f7641565c, which is present in HEAD and, if this is a significant enough issue in 3.0.x, should be cherry-picked to that branch. I've marked bug 4159 as a duplicated of bug 3519. What is the procedure for a patch to reach 3.0.x too (in general; this patch is not that relevant) ? I did not find such a topic on the wiki or overlooked it ;) Regards, Marcel

Perl module dependency management
by Galen Charlton 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, Just pointing out the recent patches submitted by Chris Nighswonger related to bug 4444 [1]: http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2010-May/006229.html http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2010-May/006230.html http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2010-May/006232.html http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2010-May/006231.html Since this is a significant improvement over the past way of doing things and will give me a framework for more easily closing the release blocker bug 4151 [2], I intend to push this patchset in the next day or so. Before I do that, however, I am issuing a call for people to test and sign off on the patches.

Koha as a federated library
by Anselm Olweny 17 May '10

17 May '10

Dear Colleagues and thanks for the great work, Below is content of a mail I posted to the koha list ( Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz) but I have not been advised about the right and best way to go about this. I am sorry for posting this to this forum. Could someone kindly advise me on this. I need this advise in order to be certainly sure that I am doing things right. I am setting up a federated library system using koha where each of the libraries needs to have its own look and feel and also should be able to search its own collection and also be able to search the collection of the other libraries in the federation by the users choice. I have also integrated koha into a CMS "joomla" in order to handle non koha pages. In my koha set up I have created the different libraries as branches and activitated the IndependantBranches preference in koha. You can see this at http://koha.apkn.org (koha in Joomla) or http://koha.apkn.org:81 (Koha pure) or http://koha.apkn.org:81/cgi-bin/koha/opac-mainug.pl and http://koha.apkn.org:81/cgi-bin/koha/opac-mainke.pl (Independent libraries). However, I am not sure whether this is the right way to set up federated libraries using koha. Could someone kindly advise me about the right way to set up federated libraries using koha? Thanks

Minimum version of Perl
by Galen Charlton 16 May '10

16 May '10

Hi, At present, the minimum version of Perl required by Koha is 5.6.1. Since MARC::Record requires 5.8.2, at the very least Koha's requirement should be 5.8.2, and 5.8.8 (the current stable release in the 5.8.x series) would be better. Are there any common platforms where this would be an issue? What about going further and bumping up to 5.10.0? Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt(a)gmail.com

bugs.koha-community.org
by Chris Cormack 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hi All About a week ago, I asked people to start registering at bugs.koha-community.org in preparation for shifting there. I'm pleased to say that a lot of you have. I'd like to make a deadline for the switch now, Friday 21 May, 9am NZST (wolfram alpha is a good tool for converting that to your timezone). That is when I plan to shift all the bugs over, so if any of you aren't registered now, can you please do it before then. And from that time onwards please use bugs.koha-community.org. Before then, feel free to have a play there, get used to some of the new features, but any bugs you make or change there, will be overwritten when I do the import of bugs. Thanks very much Happy Bug Hunting Chris RM 3.4
