"Regular items" Features timetable Handling support

Free Software Project Approved (fwd)
by Tonnesen Steve 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

A Koha project has been created at Savannah. Now we just need a consensus on IF/WHEN we should move from SourceForge to Savannah. If we are planning an IRC meeting, that'd probably be the best time to bring it up. Steve. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 18:01:05 -0400 From: nobody(a)gnu.org To: tonnesen(a)cmsd.bc.ca Subject: Free Software Project Approved Your project registration for Savannah has been approved. Project Full Name: Koha Library Automation Package Project System Name: koha Project page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/koha/ Please note that it may take a few hours for the system files to be updated (CVS repository creation for instance) after receiving this mail. Enjoy the system, and please tell others about Savannah. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you. -- the GNU volunteers Post scriptum, important notes: * In order, to release your project, you should write copyright notices and license notices at the beginning of every source code file, and include a copy of the plain text version of the license.

copright statements
by Tonnesen Steve 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

I added copyright statements to all of the .pl and .pm files in the main trunk and the rel-1-2 branches of the cvs server. Since the changes are all right at the top of the files, this shouldn't cause any conflicts, but you might want to update your checkouts to be sure. Steve.

[Bug 77] Multi-page OPAC search requires login

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77 ------- Additional Comments From dnmeid(a)gmx.de 2002-08-14 23:06 ------- Ok, now I see the problem. Here is the solution: escape(), unescape() use CGI qw/escape unescape/; $q = escape('This $string contains ~wonderful~ characters'); $u = unescape($q); These functions escape and unescape strings according to the URL hex escape rules. For example, the space character will be converted into the string "%20". ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Koha Library Automation Package (fwd)

I made an attempt to register Koha with Savannah back in May and got this reply back. Just a heads up in case we decide to go that route. Steve. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 31 May 2002 12:17:14 +0100 From: "Jaime E . Villate" <villate(a)gnu.org> To: tonnesen(a)cmsd.bc.ca Cc: savannah-hackers(a)gnu.org Subject: Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Koha Library Automation Package Hi, In order to release your project under the GPL you must write copyright notices and copying permission statements at the beginning of every source code file, and include a copy of the plain text version of the GNU GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt; copy it, for instance, into a file named COPYING). In its current state, I can see that the perl programs in Koha were written by people from Katipo, but I cannot tell if you are allowed to modify them and import them to Savannah. Please write copyright notices and copying permission statements following the advice of http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html and when your are done register your project again. I also suggest that you write a README file describing your package.

Decoding isn't really the problem as the CGI module takes care of that. It's 'encoding' the name=value pairs into the url that caused the problem here. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
