Do we know who decided to upgrade to the new version of the module in testing?
Hi all:
Frédéric, Jonathan, Héctor, and I have chatted a bit on http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14939 about the fact that HTTP::OAI version 4.03 is fundamentally broken.
While this might not have much of an impact now, since version 3.27 is used in all stable and older versions of Debian (https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libhttp-oai-perl&searchon =names&suite=all§ion=all), version 4.03 is used in one “stable” version of Ubuntu, and is scheduled to be part of the next LTS release in April 2016 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libhttp-oai-
names&suite=all§ion=all and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases).
If anyone is using or will use those releases, they’re probably going to find it impossible to use any OAI-PMH functionality in Koha.
I don’t foresee this being a problem in Debian… while 4.03 is in testing and unstable, I suspect the Debian folk will either patch the problems or use 3.27 in the next stable release.
I haven’t tested Ubuntu yet to see whether or not it’s been patched. The version in Debian testing has had some alterations, although I think Jonathan was using the 4.03-1 version in Debian testing and found
2015-12-14 3:50 GMT+00:00 David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au>: perl&searchon= problems.
Anyway, I’m just wondering what we should do about this. Frédéric is in the process of contacting the module maintainer, but I’m predicting that the maintainer won’t respond.
Can we make koha-common depend on the older version of libhttp-oai-
perl?
Should we package our own version of the module? Should we double-check Ubuntu and report bugs there with the hope that they downgrade to the functional version of libhttp-oai-perl?
