Invalid MARC for whatever reason
by MJ Ray 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Has anyone ideas on the best approach to making Koha recover gracefully if it finds invalid MARC generated from its database? I'm still stumped by http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2283 Thanks, -- MJ Ray (slef) Webmaster for hire, statistician and online shop builder for a small worker cooperative http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ (Notice http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html) tel:+44-844-4437-237

zebraqueue_daemon questions
by Michael Hafen 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Hello list, I remember some time ago zebraqueue_daemon.pl was offered to handle the zebra updates. Last time I looked through the INSTALL file though it isn't mentioned. Is this script now deprecated? The real question now... I am running it at present, and it seems to use more and more RAM as it goes. I don't have the time now to dig into it and figure out why. Is this a bug to be addressed, or should I stop using zebraqueue_daemon.pl in favor of cron'd call to `rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z`? Thanks.

ISBN conversions and matching
by dschust1＠tx.rr.com 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Does Koha have the ability to build on the fly the new 13 digit ISBN's? We have hundreds of thoughsands of records with 10 digit ISBN's and if we are using that as our primary match point - new records are coming in with 13 digit ISBN's - will the index/matching algorithm compare both or create a new record for the 13 digit? Which means we would have to figure out a way to merge the records...??? David Schuster

debian.packages to update ?
by Zeno Tajoli 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi to all, the two last modules request by Koha are GD and Email::Date. For GD I installed two packages: libgd2-xpm-dev libgd-gd2-perl For Email::Date I installed libemail-data-perl I read the file ../install_misc/debian.packages but those packages are not present. I think we need to update this file. Bye Zeno Tajoli Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)

Summary of community meeting on #koha
by Galen Charlton 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hi, A number of Koha developers and users met today on #koha to discuss various project issues. Several project positions were voted on and are now filled: 3.2 Release Manager - Galen Charlton, LibLime Translation Manager - Chris Cormack, Catalyst Documentation Manager - Nicole Engard, LibLime 3.0 Release Maintainer - Henri-Damien Laurent, BibLibre Since Chris was not present for the meeting, I ask him to formally confirm that he's still wants to be Translation Manager. The position of QA manager for 3.2 remains open. The two candidates are Frédéric Demians (Tamil) and Joshua Ferraro (LibLime). Due to the absence of both candidates during all or part of the meeting and a debate about the responsibilities of the QA manager position, no decision has been made, and the discussion should be continued on the koha-devel mailing list. Several announcements were made: * I will set up gitosis on git.koha.org to allow Henri-Damien to push patches to the 3.0.x branch. * Henri-Damien announced that minor revisions of 3.0.x will be packaged and released every two months. * I announced a date of 10 October 2008 for the developers to complete review of the RFCs for 3.2. I will also send out another schedule proposal for the 3.2 development cycle. Various issues were raised that should be discussed on the mailing lists: * Coding standards for 3.2. * Moving the Koha manual from Google Sites once www.koha.org is running Plone. * Policies for ensuring that more patches are reviewed and tested. The full log of the meeting is at http://koha.org/cgi-bin/logs.pl?recall=recall&saved_query=2008-09-12%20meet… or equivalently, http://koha.org/cgi-bin/logs.pl?look=plain&startdate=2008091212:00:37&endda… Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton VP, Research & Development, LibLime galen.charlton(a)liblime.com p: 1-888-564-2457 x709 skype: gmcharlt

problem importing ° character
by Paul POULAIN 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hello, In french, we have a quite common use of the ° char. (number = N°) It seems that, when we import iso2709 files in Koha (bulkmarcimport.pl), it's mixed up and transformed to something like É Does anyone else meet this problem ? Can it come from MARC::Charset ? Thanks for any idea. -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc NOUVEAU TELEPHONE : 04 91 81 35 08
