Dear all,
Have some questions on naming of the release tarball, and organisation of files within it.
I am not sure if this has been discussed before; at least, have not come across a discussion in the archives.
1. A really math question.
Why does a file named koha-3.04.02.tar.gz extract to "koha-3.4.02"??
Did I get my math wrong?
What do you think it should extract to? It is not a number ie they aren't decimal points. 3.04.02 is 3.4.2, 3.11.04 would be 3.11.4, 3.04.11 3.4.11 etc.
On a related note, when I run koha_perl_deps.pl, I am told that Graphics::Magick is only 1.3.12, while the required version is 1.3.5. This is with 3.4.2.
Again they aren't base 10 decimal numbers 1.3.5 is less than 1.3.12 Just like perl 5.10 is greater than 5.8.4
2. Am I the only one to feel that files are really scattered within the source directory (the one we get when we extract the tarball)??
2.1 For a start, why not move al those INSTALL* files into a INSTALL directory within the source directory?
Send a patch :)
2.2 In the installed directory (the default location - /usr/share/koha),
rebuild_zebra.pl is not really a migration tool. At least, it currently is not. Time to move rebuild_zebra.pl to bin/cronjobs?
From what I have read about it, bin/maintenance/remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl is a migration tool. Or have I understood it wrongly? (INSTALL wrongly mentions its location as misc/maintenance/. The correct location ought to be bin/maintenance/ .
And again, patches welcome as long as they update all the documentation too Chris
