Hi Koha Devels, I am running the hourly loans branch in my production system and am merging it daily with master. It seems like this gets harder with each merge because of increasing code conflicts. Recently I have set up a branch to keep hourly up to date with master that is on github<https://github.com/libsysguy/koha-hourly>. As I'm sure most of you know I have been actively pushing to get the hourly branch merged into master. I am sending this message to the devel list in an attempt to possibly expedite this process. The issue that I believe we have is this branch is fairly untested which we all know can cause issues when pushed into prod. I am running this branch with no issues in production but I would like to see some other libraries pick up this branch and test. As a side note I think to really generate serious academic library interest in Koha the hourly loans module is a must. I know it was for us when we implemented Koha and not having it in master is really hurting us in regards to time solving merge conflicts. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Hi Koha Devels, I am running the hourly loans branch in my production system and am merging it daily with master. Hi Elliott,
Do you mean http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5549 ? I've a few comments: * about the interest of this agree it's a major improvement * if you run it in production, and are not the author of the patch, you can change the statut so "signed-off". And I tend to say using it in production is a good proof it works. Then, QA would be made, and I can promize i'll take care of QA as quickly as possible, this feature is a must, I agree. * This bug, as all bugs with a lot of comment has a problem: how to test it ? There are patch attached, branches. There is a new dependancy (comment 5). It's very complicated to understand how to test. We must address this problem for this bug, and, ideally, find a re-usable way to do so. I'll start a thread about that in a few minuts, in the meantime, please just add a comment explaining everything.

Hi Paul, First of all thanks for getting back to me on the issue. Yes, the ticket I'm talking about is 5549. I have signed off on this patch before since I have made modifications (see comments 27, 29, and 32) and as such I was under the impression that I am no longer eligible to sign off. I am still relatively new to Koha development and the patching process so you'll have to forgive me if I am wrong. I agree that running it in production is a very good test and thus far we haven't run across any major issues. If we have they have been addressed and patched. I also agree that this is a big issue with large bug testing. I think working out a procedure for testing this bug would be a great precursor for implementing Solr. Let me know your thoughts or if you would like any more information. Elliott Davis On 11/29/11 11:21 PM, "Paul Poulain" <paul.poulain@biblibre.com> wrote:
