#10:17:16kgsanyone there dokuwiki-savvy? I'm having trouble with pdfs -- e.g. as linked on http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=advocacy:pr
#10:21:02bag_ has joined #openils-evergreen
#10:32:00BenO is getting sleepy watching CPAN fill up my terminal....
#10:32:28wlaytonkgs: Where is that pdf located?
#10:32:45kgswlayton: in the advocacy namespace
#10:33:25kgsso I'm thinkign it should be advocacy:ein_brochure.pdf
#10:33:51kgshowsoever... I can't get it to work on my personal dokuwiki, which leans toward some pebkac issue
#10:36:28wlaytonkgs: done
#10:36:38kgsdone what?
#10:37:09wlaytonkgs: I think I got it working - give it a try: http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=advocacy:pr

#12:38:53phasefxhrmm, eg_db_config.pl couldn't guess what version of postgres I have
#12:41:50phasefxback to build-db.sh I go
#12:42:27miker_phasefx: what version do you have?
#12:42:48phasefxlooks like 81.. deprecated for us, eh?
#12:42:51miker_wow ... just got a @later from 4 days ago...
#12:43:20miker_phasefx: yeah, for trunk
#12:43:30miker_much to my chagrin
#12:43:39phasefxan old vmware image I had retrofited for trunk a while back
#12:44:00miker_ahhh
#12:44:04phasefxwell, the opposite of retrofited :)
#12:44:06berick8.2 is the only db that works with trunk, correct?
#12:44:17berickand 1.4, i assume
#12:44:46miker_berick: no, 8.1 works ... but only because I have to make it work
#12:44:53miker_but it's not "supported"
#12:45:38berickahh
#12:49:26phasefxhrmm, does Debian have an 8.2?
#12:56:19miker_phasefx: it does
#12:56:29miker_you have to ask for it explicitly ... somehow
#13:01:49phasefxcan't find it. Where the script bombs out is tryinging show sever_version.. database "root" does not exist :)
#13:03:09phasefx hardcodes an 81 in there and sees what happens
#13:11:47dmcmorris_esiphasefx: PGUSER=postgres blahblah?
#13:12:42phasefxI didn't try such a thing, no. past it now :) thanks
#13:13:17phasefx--update-config doesn't change live-db-setup.pl it looks like
#13:19:43miker_and that might explain wlayton's problem

#13:34:49phasefxwlayton: see above ^^
#13:41:53wlaytonphasefx: thanks. that's likely part of the problem but I'm still having issues
#13:43:08wlaytonalthough...live-db-setup.pl is owned by root:root, and has permissions set to 644. Is that okay, or should it be opensrf:opensrf and/or 755?
#13:45:22miker_wlayton: should only need to be readable by the user apache is running under
#13:54:55phasefxyay, I have a working trunk and staff client again

#14:32:18phasefxI think my trunk vmware image needs tuning.. either that or it's gone nuts. cpu has been maxed out for a while now (just pulled up 10 items in a bucket)
#14:32:56phasefxI'm getting such lovely log lines like AppSession not connected, conenecting...
#14:38:37phasefxmmm.. Out of Memory
#14:38:46phasefxit killed opensrf-perl.pl
#14:39:38phasefxthis image has 512MB of RAM

#20:13:04miker_jeff: just a general statement of your condition?
#20:13:59jeffyes. :)
#20:15:26jeffnew hardware, old printers, old ils.
#20:15:51jeffi can do new hardware and new printers, but new ils isn't for a few weeks yet.
#20:16:09jeffso i'm stuck trying to get new hardware deployed without breaking receipt printing for the old ils.
#20:16:17jeffthis printing is problematic.
#20:16:35miker_printing usually is :(
#20:16:39miker_dead_trees--
#20:20:56jeff ponders an e-mail all receipts feature
#20:23:14miker_ha
#20:31:33djfiandermake sure to include data in iCal format, so we can automatically add them to our calendar.
#20:33:10djfianderactually. that's not a bad idea. How about the "items currently checked out" display in my account including hcalendar data for the books due?
#20:38:31phasefxooh
#20:40:30phasefxrandomized/disposable RSS feeds for patron-sensitive data. Think your URL is compromised? Generate another one
#20:43:51jeff nods
#20:44:00jeffadd your due items to your google calendar.
#20:57:45dbs has joined #openils-evergreen
#21:00:58djfianderone more thing about "what are we trying to do with marc holdings": import/export module vs checkin/prediction.
#21:01:41jeff44.5 MB print driver download for a receipt printer.
#21:01:44dbsdisplay current holdings was mentioned I assume
#21:01:46jeffSeriously, Epson.
#21:02:09djfianderdbs: that was the first thing I've said here.
#21:02:15djfianderrest was the email.
#21:02:17miker_djfiander: isn't it import->prediction->checkin/claim(maybe)->export?
#21:03:06djfiandermiker_: but do we need to store & operate on marc format, or just do in/out on it and use a different internal DB table format?
#21:03:55djfianderimport for migration, export for consortium sharing stuff (or oclc or whatever)
#21:03:55dbsdjfiander: sorry, just joined
#21:04:19djfianderbut checkin/claim can be done some other way, potentially.
#21:04:25miker_djfiander: after import, we use the internal stuff .. but when new issues are checked in then the mfhd should be updated, no?
#21:04:29miker_for display
#21:04:46miker_most likely not stored /in/ the MARC until export
#21:05:14djfianderpublic displays would be generated from the internal stuff.
#21:05:40djfianderThis is probably a big part of why ILS's don't include MFHD displays in the opac "marc display"
#21:06:26miker_we want to calculate the caption (is that right?) at checkin, so that we don't have to recalculate it at each display
#21:06:30djfianderthe truly amusing (amazing) part about MFHD support in other ILS vendors systems
#21:06:37djfianderhttp://www.loc.gov/acq/conser/patthold-vendorsurvey.html
#21:06:37dbsmiker_: that was the idea, yeah
#21:06:42miker_well... calculate it when the internal data is updated
#21:06:56miker_which is normally by checkin or weeding
#21:07:02miker_or inventory
#21:07:15djfianderQ7 reports that people cant actually using MFHD to exchange data with like ILSs, let along different systems
#21:07:59djfiandermiker_: yes, the holdings display string should be updated at checkin
#21:14:00jeffokay. two usb receipt printers working with old ils.
#21:17:35dbssuckiest internet connection EVER
#21:37:33phase_bb has quit IRC
#21:44:04dbs posts hopefully correct-ish description of how display for bib records happens
#21:44:22dbs'cause I like to pretend I know what I'm doing
#22:09:09miker_dbs++ # that's right on
#22:09:36djfianderew
#22:09:50dbsmiker_: one step towards more dev docs and more devs
#22:10:06dbs-= THIS MESSAGE NOT LOGGED =-
#22:10:11djfianderv.1-3(1958-1960), v.5-7(1962-1965),;,v.13-14(1971-1972)
#22:10:27djfianderthat is the 'human readable' example holding statement from the marc docs
#22:10:40djfianderwe don't own v.4
#22:10:49djfiandernotice the ',;,' in the middle.
#22:11:28djfianderthat means that part of the v.8-12 gap is missing because we don't own it and part is missing because it was never published.
#22:11:31djfianderclear?
#22:11:41miker_gah!
#22:11:44phasefxno
#22:11:46miker_I was wondering about that
#22:12:27dbsclear as MARC
#22:13:06djfiander"The reporting organization lacks v.4, 8, and 11-12." The second and third fields refect both a nongap (v.9-10 [ie, unpublished]) and a gap break (v.11-12) [ie, missing]
#22:14:14djfianderthis stuff needs to be complicated, because it has to describe reality.
#22:14:17djfianderwhich sux.
