z3950 client problem - was: RE: [Koha-devel] Thot parle de vous

Hi, What version of Perl do you guys use. I get a problem with z3950 and I'm using Perl 5.8.x (x=1 I think) on a Fedora Core 1 system. A system such as Red Hat 7.3 uses (by default I think) perl 5.6.1. The man page for "perlfork" with 5.8 says "...fork() emulation has considerably matured...", while on 5.6.1 it says "...continues to be an experimental feature...". I think the problem (or part of it) is because of the fork() call. There's an email from myself 2 days ago and one from tomasz on Feb 17th that describes this. Maybe that information can help. Maybe Ben can look if he gets any errors in /usr/local/koha/log/z3950...log that mention lossing a connection to MySQL? Deric

z3950 client => tests pls

Hi, I've commited modifs in processqueue in rel_2_0 branch. I've hardcoded the db handler call everywhere. Let me know if it works better. Another idea : did you modify your /etc/my.cnf (mySQL config file) ? ine has been. I copy it to you : [mysqld] set-variable = key_buffer=32M set-variable = max_allowed_packet=1M set-variable = table_cache=256 set-variable = sort_buffer=4M set-variable = record_buffer=1M set-variable = myisam_sort_buffer_size=16M set-variable = thread_cache=8 Note : i did >10 tests with 2 servers open. I only had a problem once, without /etc/my.cnf modified (= I removed it, & restarted mySQL) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Re: [Koha-devel] What's Current Loan
by Owen Leonard 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

It looks like 'Current Loan' is supposed to tell you something about whether the item can be renewed or not. This is what the script says: # check if item is renewable my %env; my $status = renewstatus(\%env,$borrowernumber, $issue->{'itemnumber'}); $issue->{'status'} = $status; But as far as I can tell, this isn't accurate. Maybe someone can check it out and let us know. -- Owen

New MARC support?

Hi All. Is this enough to know to actually be able to make Koha support MARC BN (Old but still existent Warsaw National Library Marc Standard). There is a lot of data available in that format for Polish Libraries.

Re: [Koha-devel] Koha 2.0.0 release date

Koha 2.0 certainly seems stable enough for the libraries who are using it, and we've reached the point where we're hurting ourselves more by delaying the release than by releasing with known (minor) bugs. > > So, i'll call the next release 2.0.0 > The date ?

Re: [Koha-devel] what's (wk) and (hm)?
by Owen Leonard 26 Feb '04

(wk) = "Work" Also known as 'Work Telephone Number' or 'Daytime Phone Number', depending on how you interpret it. (hm) = "Home", 'Home Phone Number.' -- Owen

Re: [Koha-devel] are month names translatable in opac?
by Owen Leonard 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

> I wonder whether the names for months (in > reserves) are translatable, If I understand you correctly, then YES, they are translatable. The months are listed like this in opac-reserve.tmpl: <option value="2">Feb</option> The translatable string is 'Feb' (February), and the value="2" indicates the 2nd month of the year. Changing 'Feb' won't affect how the date gets stored. -- Owen

a bug in reserves.pl?
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 26 Feb '04

Hi All, Whenever I press the reserve button from within the default intranet theme, the options>> line plus other characters on page currently displayed loose their charset definition and browser defaults to iso-8859-1 ! Please help, it is causing lot's of trouble. Page source from within browser, however, is showing <title>KOHA: INTRANET: Catalogue</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> Benedict
