[Koha-devel] Hiding records/items in OAI-PMH output

[Ere Maijala]

Hi David,

Thanks for the heads-up. I believe you're right, and I've added a 
comment in the bug. Additionally, it should be possible to configure 
this per OAI-PMH set so that the provider can provide suppressed records 
to harvesters that actually need them while keeping them away from 
harvesters in "OPAC" context.

Best,
Ere
