Hi,
As I've a few free time, I'm trying to complete a first version of Debian Koha packaging. I've a few questions for koha/zebra/.. guru that I separate in 3 mails.
Here is the third mail.
Most of the koha configuration (mostly what is asked by Makefile.PL) will be handled by debconf. I needed to know for the following questions if there is a sensible default to the question. Debconf offers to setup a default answer and we also have to setup the level of the question. On a typical basic installation, only question of level 'high' will be asked (other will get the default value). Debconf levels are: * low Very trivial items that have defaults that will work in the vast majority of cases; only control freaks see these. * medium Normal items that have reasonable defaults. * high Items that don't have a reasonable default. * critical Items that will probably break the system without user intervention.
So, here are my propositions/questions
Using zebra or not: will be selected by the choice of the packages (koha-zebra or koha-nozebra)
MARC format for Zebra indexing Default: UNIMARC ? Level: high ? [1]
Default should be MARC21 as 90% of libraries use it. I agree it's level 'high'
Primary language for Zebra indexing Default: en ? Level: high ? [1] Agreed.
Authorities indexing mode Default: dom ? Level: medium ? [is not dom more powerful than grs1?] dom is more powerful, but only available for MARC21 authorities in 3.0, so this should be high.
Enable SRU? Default: no ? Level: medium ? Agreed.
SRU Database host? (only if SRU is enabled) Default: localhost ? Level: low ? Agreed.
SRU port for bibliographic data? (only if SRU is enabled) Default: ? Level: high ? [2] Agreed (210 is the standard port).
SRU port for authority data? (only if SRU is enabled) Default: ? Level: high ? [2] (Agreed (211 perhaps?)
Enable Pazpar2 ? Default: no ? Level: medium ? Agreed.
Zebra bibliographic server host? (only if Pazpar2 is enabled) Default: localhost ? Level: low ? Agreed.
Zebra bibliographic port for PazPar2 to use? (only if Pazpar2 is enabled) Default: ? Level: high [2] Agreed (not sure about port)
PazPar2 host? (only if Pazpar2 is enabled) Default: localhost Level: low ? Agreed.
PazPar2 port? (only if Pazpar2 is enabled) Default: ? Level: high ? [2] Agreed (not sure of the best port).
Hope that helps, and thanks for your effort! Josh
[1]: if you tell me in the previous mail (mail 2/3) that it is easy to switch from a setup to the other one, then I will lowered the level to 'medium'
[2]: if you can give me sensible default port, then the level can be lowered to 'low'
So, if any guru can confirm/answer to my guesses, it would be easier for me to manage the configuration files without messing up all things and allowing a very easy default koha installation on Debian.
Best regards, Vincent
