Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha-patches] [PATCH] include grace period when calculating overdue fine
by Steve Wills 03 Sep '09

If I understand this issue correctly, I would agree that the logic should be: item overdue = due_date - today. Grace period calculations only come into play if the item is overdue to discount the fine when applicable. 2 cents. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Hafen [mailto:mdhafen@tech.washk12.org] Sent: Thursday, September 3, 2009 10:53 AM Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha-patches] [PATCH] include grace period when calculating overdue fine Hello list, Here's the situation.

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha-patches] [PATCH] include grace period when calculating overdue fine

Hello list, Here's the situation. Currently the fines.pl calls CalcFine which calculates the number of days overdue as ( date_due - today ) - grace period. My librarians want the calculation to be ( date_due - today ). I have submitted a patch to this end. The grace period is still effective in deciding if a fine should be started. Here's the problem. This is really a serious change in the way overdues are processed. We could add another system preference to control which calculation is used. Or we can come to some consensus on the list as to which way it should be so we don't need another sys. pref. Here's the question. Is there a consensus as to how this calculation should be run? If there is I presume the patch will be pushed to head, and that's the end of the debate. If there isn't a unanimous consensus then we have to ask if it's worth making more work for a few in order to not have another system preference here. Thoughts please.

Feature freeze
by Galen Charlton 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hi, In preparation for the IRC meeting later today, I would like to clarify the ground rules for the feature freeze on 6 September. Basically, my intention is that by the end of the day on 6 September (you get to pick your time zone), all features for 3.2 should be submitted to the patch queue. In order to accommodate last minute work, by submission I mean any and or all the following: [1] Patches emailed to koha-patches. [2] Pull requests emailed to koha-patches [3] A simple statement to koha-devel stating the availability of a published Git repo from which patches can be cherry-picked for inclusion in 3.2, even if you're not quite at the point where it could be pulled into a topic branch at the main repository. [4] Smoke signals, carrier pigeons, ham radio bouncing of the moon, or the like communicating to me the availability of finished patches. In other words, my goal is to allow flexibility, not set a super-hard deadline - the point is to identify all new features that are substantially complete, even if they may need some (or a lot) of polishing. Once the deadline passes, new features meant for 3.4 or later will go on an unstable branch while master will be reserved for integrating 3.2 features. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt(a)gmail.com

New topic branch - labels_recon
by Galen Charlton 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hi, I have started a new topic branch at the public Git repository for Chris Nighswonger's labels rewrite. The branch is called labels_recon, and a I invite everybody to test and send feedback back to Chris or to the list. If anybody is willing to test thoroughly and submit the patches with your sign-off, that would be even better. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt(a)gmail.com
