What are you trying to achieve? CVS is great if you have strong central management. It's crap if development is a free-for-all. I'll admit Koha is far less of a free-for-all than linux, but that's probably because it's got fewer developers. CVS is a "push" setup - all accredited developers push their updates into the central repository. Git is a "pull" setup - ANYBODY can have their own repository, and they notify the release manager of any changes to their own setup. The release manager then pulls the changes into the official repository. It's not that one is better than the other, it's just that git is strong where cvs is weak and vice versa - and which one is best suited to Koha.

I could be (probably am) well off the mark, but hasn't arch "gone quiet" for a while? If you do consider a new tool, look very seriously at git/cogito. The reason for saying that is that git is the source database, while cogito is (one of) the user front end for manipulating the database. Again, there were comments that arch might well move to using git as its back end. The point being, if you do go down that route, then some people can use cogito, others will use arch, svn might add git as a back end ... everybody can choose their own preferred source control front end, but the back end is shared across them all.

If we are going to change version control, please move koha to a distributed system like arch or darcs. The benefits of svn over cvs are minimal for a fairly mature project, the tools are far larger (like 5 times the size), it still has the single central server point of failure and if we want to upgrade later, there are fewer tools to upgrade from svn than cvs. Finally, it seems not GPL-compatible.

Display Local Call Number on Search Results Page
by Bruffey, Mark 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Is it possible to get step-by-step instructions for making the local call number appear for each item in the "Search Results" page? For me this would be fields 852 $h, $i, and $m. Here's a link to a short search, if the firewall doesn't keep you out: http://192.168.0.228:81/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?op=do_search&type=op ac&marclist=&and_or=and&excluding=&operator=contains&value=genesis+12-50 Thanks, Mark

RE: [Koha-devel] KOHA Errors -- SOLVED
by Bruffey, Mark 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

It was a permissions issue, due to the fact that (some while back) I moved all KOHA directories to a new directory without retaining attributes. Thought I had tested system right after that, but obviously I did not! Sorry for taking your time. This IS a test rollout that I come back to periodically. I will be making a decision about staying with KOHA in the next three months or so. Mark

MARC to MARC field Mappings in KOHA 3
by Bruffey, Mark 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi All! Please pardon me if my question is a little vague. This is because it's been some time since I installed a test version of KOHA I am currently using. I can't remember the exact version, but it was the latest version as of Jan 19, 2005. Anyhow, as I recall, KOHA did not offer much flexibility either in the fields searched or in the fields displayed following a user search. This limitation meant that I would have to export several different fields and subfields from my existing MARC records into different fields and subfields (some merges required) in the MARC records that KOHA would read/display--quite complicated for me. My question is, does KOHA 3 offer more flexibility in displayed fields? I would like to be able to select any field I want to be searched and displayed to the user following the search. This would hopefully reduce or eliminate the need for complex intermediate steps when preparing marc records for import into KOHA. Thanks, Mark PS. After upgrading to FC4 (from FC3), I cannot search KOHA without errors (notify admin). Is there a known issue after FC4 upgrade, by chance? I do NOT have SELinux enabled. Thanks. L.

Roadmap for 3.0

Hi ya, I was looking for the Roadmap for 3.0, and found the wiki http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/koha_wiki/index.php?page=KohaRoadmap3.0 But I thought Joshua you'd done something as well as an outline for the release. By any chance could someone point me in the direction of that document, and I would think an update would be good (as we are only 2 months from Paul's go live)?
