What happens if a borrower has some items due in the future from other branch and you switch to independent branches? Regards To+ On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 10:16 AM, Kyle Hall <kyle.m.hall@gmail.com> wrote:

I cannot imagine why altering that syspref would break anything. It does indeed only modify runtime behavior. In fact, CCFLS has switched it on and off at various time with no negative side effects.

So there's this text in the kohadocs.git en/manual.xml about IndependantBranches that says

"It is important that this value be set before going live and that it NOT be changed."

The kohadocs.git log message of when that IndependentBranches warning line was added is commit c2885b75d1dd8085df072fcd0af17d1bbe046f90 "integrate wayne state manual contents"

Anyone know why it's important that this value not be changed after going live?

Anecdotes after asking on IRC a few times and by direct mail suggests that some have tried changing it and not noticed anything break - just the behaviour changes and some patrons might not be visible by any staff except a superlibrarian.

It was because "dedup" parameter was ON => if you send a mail to the list AND cc: or to: someone who subscribed the list, he will recieve the mail only once (mailman will realize it's useless to send it to cc: and to: ppl !)

Thanks to all who've answered on the IndependantBranches change. I'll look into Tomas's question unless anyone knows what happens? aside: The dedup parameter should be OFF - the copy sent via the list is always useful because Mailman adds the various List-* headers which switches on mailing list support in list-compatible software (which is why I can set my reply preference to list-only, for example, or I could unsubscribe with two clicks). Sadly, much email software still isn't compatible with mailing lists. I describe ones I know at http://mjr.towers.org.uk/comp/list-mua - please send me any updates directly, and/or open bug reports with your email software producers - the internet will thank you!
