Hi Nigel, "I'm going to do this in a docker container" is what I say for most of my code projects (at home and the office). So long as you're not working with SystemD, it generally makes everything easier. I think this wiki page might describe the process best: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_workflow And for the practical aspect of submitting the patch, you'll want to look at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration Let us know if you have any issues. Once your patch is accepted, you'll also join this list: https://git.koha-community.org/stats/koha-master/authors.html David Cook Senior Software Engineer Prosentient Systems Suite 7.03 6a Glen St Milsons Point NSW 2061 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595 -----Original Message----- From: Nigel Titley <nigel@titley.com> Sent: Friday, 11 August 2023 8:01 PM To: David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au>; koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Where would I put the OpenLibrary ID in the MARC record And that, as if by magic, answers what was to be my next question... the koha-testing-docker instructions look comprehensive and I can try them out on my desktop, which seems to meet the requirements. My son, when I was discussing the project with him, said "you should do this in a docker container" and as usual he was right. I presume that once/if I've got it working there's a submission process to get updates back to the main Koha branch. All the best Nigel On 11/08/2023 00:07, David Cook wrote:
That's great news, Nigel! I'm really happy that worked out.
Have you looked at koha-testing-docker? https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-testing-docker
You could do the development work on there and then wait/hope for it to flow down to your version?

You could send a request for an "openlibrary" code to be added to the official Standard Identifier Source Codes list: https://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/index.html#maintenance . Honestly, I'm a little surprised there isn't already an entry for it there. I'm sure they'd approve a request for it.
I've put in a request to the LOC. We'll see if anything comes of it. They may request (I would do so in their place) that the request comes from the Open Library itself in which case I'll have to chase that route first.
Well, to my surprise LOC got back to me today and said they had added Open Library to the SISC list.
https://loc.gov/marc/relators/tn230808src.html
So we now have a standardised way to add OLIDs to a MARC record
024 7 _ | $2 openlib | $a <OLID>
And that means I can have a look at adding OLIDs to the cover art retrieval from Open Library... which means dusting off my... erk... javascript. Which means sorting out sympa so I can get Koha up to date...
