help requests for Koha
by Pat Eyler 25 Jul '02

I've taken the liberty of registering Koha at <apprentice.perl.org>. This site (which was just announced) is designed to allow people to sign on to work on existing Perl projects to build their skills. I think this might be a big help in filling needs like those Paul mentioned. The Koha users mailing list may also be an appropriate place to place calls for assistance. I'd also encourage projects members to talk to their local Perl communities, mailing lists, etc. thanks, -pate

MARC version, HELP needed [long] and [important]
by paul POULAIN 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Hi guys, Those who follow the CVS mailing list may have notice a few CVS-commit yesterday. few, but VERY IMPORTANT. They are the 1st commit i made for the MARC stuff in koha that make koha USE MARC-DB (or at least begins to...) If you play sometimes with a cvs version, you MUST follow the following upgrade operations : * install MARC::Record package, from cpan or sourceforge * OVERWRITE File.pm and USMARC.pm. The original misses 1 functionnality we absolutly need in koha (reading a MARC from a variable, not from a file). Thanks to Steve, who modified MARC::Record. * modify your DB by adding marcschema.sql tables * populate new tables by launching fill_usmarc.pl. If you do it, the old-koha is expected to work as in version 1.2. if you don't, NOTHING WILL WORK, as sql will fail most of time ;-\ * *TEST HELP NEEDED* * Test this dev version, and notice bugs you should find. The rule is quite simple : APPARENTLY, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. If you find something new, it shall be a bug... If you can test this version and approve it, we could continue the road to MARC-management. If you spend some time on it, pls make a report on this list if you find no bugs, or report bugs on bugs.koha.org (use Version=CVS and assigned to paul.poulain(a)free.fr) * *MARC HELP NEEDED* * the MARC version of koha is supposed to accept any MARC format. Do do this, there is a parameter table that contains the meaning of every tag code. for instance, there is only a definition of USMARC in english. We need to have some other definitions. If you want help : you just have to create a file with some rows : * the tag number * the subfield code * the complete meaning of the tag/subfield. It's usually an excerpt of the xxMARC norma. It's used in the librarian interface. * the meaning of the tag/subfield, simplified. It's how we could call the tag/subfield for an opac-using person. Not ALL the tag/subfield pairs have to be filled with this value. * if the tag/subfield is mandatory (0=NO, 1=YES) * if the tag/subfield is repeatable (0=NO, 1=YES) Please, create this with a spreadsheet, putting all values of a given tag/subfield on 1 line. Then export it in CSV format. If you prefer, you can directly build a text file, but ALWAYS put the 6 values on the same line, separated by what you want. sample : 100;a;"Unified LOC Title (see red book USMARC page 24)";"book title";1;0 100;b;"Unified LOC subtitles";"";0;1 ... (note this example means nothing i think !) * *DEV HELP NEEDED* * a LOT of stuff is still to do on MARC-koha. On the wiki (http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=ToDoMARC) i made a page with what is still to do, with some ideas about how to do it. If someone wants to give me a hand, it'll be VERY nice. thanks for your attention. -- Paul koha release manager 1.4

I can't tell you a whole lot more. When I run /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-launch.sh I get no error messages, but running ps -ef shows nothing running either. Plus, a pending request continues to say pending after running the command. If I run the command embedded in z3950-daemon-launch.sh, like: su -s /bin/sh -c \ /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-shell.sh - apache & It gives no error mesage, but also doesn't seem to run.
