Hello folks,
working on unimarc for zebra, I've seen some strange things in etc zebra files : - ccl.properties don't have popularity anymore - bib1.att : att 9002 is biblioitemnumber, shouldn't it be biblionumber as in ccl.properties (biblionumber 1=9002) ? Yes ... I'll fix that immediately
- bib1.att : att 9910 Koha-Auth-Number and ccl.properties says Authority_number 1=8910 Hmmm, both seem to be 8910, could you clarify where you see 9910?
- the zebra files in etc don't reflect at all the ones in misc/zebra. The etc directory has been added by MJ installer. Which should we consider as the correct zebra config file ? I didn't even know about the ones in misc!
If we use etc (which I've nothing against, but we would have been pleased to have been warned), then how to handle UNIMARC settings during install ? * during perl Makefile.PL, we can't request the sysadm to know if the library want MARC21 or UNIMARC ! * during web install, we won't probably have a write access to those files.
So, how to do the job ? I imagined the script rebuild_zebra.pl, that does the stuff from the systempref, and can be run after the web install. but it seems MJ choose another way. But now, I don't know how to solve the "unimarc setup" problem !
Any idea/comment welcomed. So just record.abs needs to be customized, right? or do you have custom *.idx and *.chr too? I can imagine that some languages, like arabic, will need a complete set of custom etc/ files ...
The installer from MJ should be able to put the files into the right places without needing to run rebuild_zebra.pl. The key is to identify which files are global and which are language/marc_flavour specific.
