08:24 jboyer-isl rfrausr: everything is back on, but no email has gone out yet. I expect one will soon though.
08:24 rfrasur okay...ty.  It takes 45 minutes to get to Hagerstown anyway, so I'll assume that it'll be okay when I get there.

09:42 RoganH Patience is more of a necessity than a virtue with Overdrive.
09:42 jeff They claim to review applications on a "weekly basis", but we applied Oct 1 and it is now Oct 15.
09:43 jeff At this rate, I could have driven down to Cleveland, spent some time with friends, and knocked on OverDrive's door for a personal interview to obtain access to the Circulation APIs and/or test environment. ;-)
09:43 RoganH Time is highly subjective.
09:44 RoganH They may only be counting the third hour of every meal break towards the week.

12:37 dbwells berick: I do see a lot of "Image of item" links where the images should be, but maybe that is just configuration related.

13:11 kmlussier #info [extra old action item ” ” ”] bshum to summarize bug tracking based on feedback from developers
13:11 bshum I think I'm going to generally loop that into a larger discussion about how much we all hate LP
13:12 bshum But specifically, no, I have yet to complete a better writeup of bug procedures.
13:12 bshum I do thank dbwells and remingtron for handling most of the bug shifting during this 2.5 release cycle though.
13:12 kmlussier Should we be kicking off on a discussion for replacing LP?

13:16 bshum Yes, I think that a place to start is probably to get some more discussion going, but I'm not entirely sure what alternatives are best in this case (or who would be able to help contribute to setting up something more distinct)
13:16 bshum I did do some minor investigation during the last conference, but those didn't get too far.
13:16 dbwells I think LP is serviceable, and it would be a big effort to move to something else.  I am not opposed to it, but I don't think I could contribute to the effort at this point.
13:16 berick might be good to start with specifics.  that LP entry is pretty slim ;)
13:17 smyers_ joined #evergreen
13:17 kmlussier bshum: Would you be willing to kick off the discussion? Or should I volunteer Dyrcona for it since he's not here? :)
13:17 DPearl joined #evergreen
13:18 bshum kmlussier: I think I agree with dbwells that we haven't shown enough unhappiness with the existing approach to actually put time towards coming up with something new.
13:18 csharp dbwells: +1
13:18 csharp however, if the community wants, GPLS could set up a server for experimentation
13:19 kmlussier OK, so then do you want to defer your action item to summarize bug tracking to the next meeting?
13:19 kmlussier bshum ^ ^
13:19 bshum kmlussier: Yes.
13:19 kmlussier #action bshum to summarize bug tracking based on feedback from developers
13:19 bshum And Dyrcona can put some thoughts towards that bug ticket, since he helped start it :)
13:19 kmlussier #info [extra old action item ” ” ”] kmlussier to raise bug squashing day to the lists for further discussion/feedback
13:20 kmlussier #info kmlussier posted message to the dev list today http://georgialibraries.markma​il.org/thread/22six3nkgbhr3f3t
13:21 kmlussier If anyone has anything to contribute to that discussion, feel free to send it to the list.
13:21 kmlussier #info gmcharlt to release opensrf 2.2.1 soon(?) post-vacation
13:21 gmcharlt #info gmcharlt to release 2.2.1 this week
13:22 kmlussier gmcharlt++
13:22 gmcharlt (and KohaCon as a vacation for Koha's release manager?  you jest, surely! ;) )
13:22 kmlussier #info csharp to test 2.4.2 rc so we can officialize it
13:22 eeevil gmcharlt: this includes the new opensrf controller script from berick, yes?
13:22 bshum Related to opensrf, is there anything in master that lends cutting of a 2.3.0?
13:22 eeevil kmlussier: that happened, 2.4.3 is waiting in the wings
13:22 bshum Like the control stuff
13:23 gmcharlt eeevil: that's actually something to decide, I suppose -- do we want it as 2.2.1, or branch off and release a 2.3.0 as well?
13:23 eeevil and, like berick, I'm not going to worry about a 2.4.4 until there's a bigger pile of fixes, or next month, whichever comes first
13:24 * gmcharlt has no strong opinion one way or the other, but the new control scripts might represent a large-enough change
13:24 berick eeevil: btw, i copied your 2.4.3 files into place as well (though i'm getting ahead of myself)
13:24 dbwells gmcharlt: we upgraded to OpenSRF 2.2.1 (well, master) on production this past Friday.  So far, so good :)
13:24 * berick also has no strong opinion re: opensrf version
13:24 eeevil gmcharlt: I'm for 2.3.0. enough user-visible changes, IMO
13:24 bshum I agree, +1 for 2.3.0
13:25 bshum (we've been running that in production since our early September upgrade, so I feel reasonably happy about the state of opensrf master)
13:26 dbwells +1 to moving to 2.3.0 on account of the control script changes
13:26 bshum I suppose we just need to update the README in Evergreen to use the new control commands.
13:26 gmcharlt #info gmcharlt will cut both  OpenSRF 2.2.1 (to include the multipart fix) and OpenSRF 2.3.0 (to include the new signal-handling and control script stuff) this week
13:26 jeff +1 to 2.3.0, but if the multipart request changes haven't made it to a point release of 2.2.x, that might be a good thing to backport/release.
13:26 gmcharlt jeff: too slow! ;)
13:26 jeff heh
13:26 eeevil gmcharlt++
13:27 csharp so which opensrf version will be paired with EG 2.5?
13:27 senator camembert
13:27 * gmcharlt suggests 2.3.0
13:27 eeevil csharp: "latest" :) ... 2.2+
13:27 csharp ok
13:27 csharp senator++
13:27 gmcharlt as recommended, with note that 2.2.1 is compatible
13:27 eeevil (yes, 2.3+ recommended)
13:28 kmlussier #info 2.3.0 will be recommended to run with EG 2.5, but 2.2.1 will be compatible as well.
13:28 kmlussier Moving on to the next action item...
13:28 kmlussier #info senator to find old incomplete action items to move forward (with help from the channel in making sure I get the right ones) - Done!
13:29 kmlussier senator++ # Thanks for all the action items!
13:29 kmlussier #info eeevil to commit a techref doc explaining how to build pgTAP test
13:31 eeevil kmlussier: I have not done that yet. it's on my gtasks list, though!
13:31 eeevil nor have I had time to do the next one
13:31 kmlussier OK, I'll add both as action items for next time then.
13:31 kmlussier #action eeevil to commit a techref doc explaining how to build pgTAP test
13:32 eeevil thanks
13:32 kmlussier #action o publish detailed plan about freezing baseline schemas between EG releases and using deprecates/supersedes in database upgrade scripts. This will go on the mailing list and the thread should structure further discussion of pros and cons of eeevil's plan.
13:32 kmlussier That's it for action items, and I think we've also covered OpenSRF Release Info?
13:33 kmlussier #topic Evergreen release info
13:33 Callender_ joined #evergreen
13:33 kmlussier dbwells: Should we start with 2.5?
13:34 dbwells Sure.  After a couple brief rounds of testing and bug squashing, RC1 is uploaded to the usual.
13:34 dbwells usual place, that is
13:35 dbwells Been having fun working out the release notes, but that is done as well, and will be uploaded shortly.
13:35 Callender__ joined #evergreen
13:36 kmlussier #info 2.5 RC1 is uploaded. Release notes will be uploaded shortly.
13:36 kmlussier dbwells: Anything else to add?
13:36 dbwells Since we are a day late already for the delayed version of 2.5 final, I am not sure where to pin down the timeline, but I am pretty confident things we'll get there soon.
13:37 dbwells It's really all about more testing at this point, so maybe RC will inspire some folks.
13:37 Callender joined #evergreen
13:37 dbwells That's about it, unless folks have questions I might be able answer.
13:37 kmlussier How much time do we usually allow for testing between RC1 and final?
13:38 * csharp is testing beta1, but will upgrade to RC
13:38 gmcharlt dbwells: apologies if it's already been mentioned, but I'd like to take this opportunity to mention the fixes for bug 1086458
13:38 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1086458 in Evergreen 2.4 "Staff client memory leaks in 2.3 and later" (affected: 11, heat: 76) [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1086458
13:39 gmcharlt whether or not it's a candidate for inclusion in 2.5.0, I'm pretty sure lots of folks will be very happy if it makes it in by 2.5.1
13:39 dbwells gmcharlt: I haven't looked at it, but I certainly will.
13:40 kmlussier I think a lot of people would love to see those patches in sooner rather than later. I'm not sure how to approach testing, though.
13:41 csharp kmlussier: our approach will probably be a due diligence approach on a test server to make sure nothing breaks, then move to production as soon as we're satisfied
13:41 dbwells gmcharlt: It doesn't look too bad, and if there are no objections, I can pull back RC1 and cram it in there.  No formal announcements have been made yet.
13:41 csharp seems like it's too difficult to simulate in a test environment
13:41 kmlussier csharp++
13:42 csharp dbwells: +1 # fwiw
13:42 eeevil dbwells: I know it's a pain, having just gone through packaging, but I'm +1 to that
13:43 gmcharlt dbwells: thanks -- but also, TIA to anybody who tests it
13:43 kmlussier Is everyone in agreement to include the memory leak patches in RC1 then?
13:43 * gmcharlt will search for a suitable libation whose name encodes the concept of "at the last minute" for delivery next time I see you ;)
13:44 dbwells I would also appreciate a test/sign-off/push to master on that branch by anyone else who can take a look.
13:44 gmcharlt +1
13:45 * dbwells will test what he can of it, but RC1 will be out today, or BUST
13:45 csharp dbwells++
13:46 kmlussier #agree dbwells will pull back RC1 and incorporate memory leak patches. Sign-off from other testers will be appreciated.
13:46 kmlussier Any other questions for dbwells?
13:46 kmlussier eeevil / berick: Is there anything to report on 2.3/2.4 releases other than the fact that you will be skipping this month's point release?
13:47 berick just need a volunteer from the web team (a Webster?) to update the downloads page
13:47 csharp ha!
13:47 csharp webster++
13:47 * berick has nothing else to report on releases

13:49 sylvar berick: http://jsfiddle.net/vojtajina/js64b/14/ would make https://demo.evergreencatalog.c​om/ng-staff/circ/patron/search more awesome (for sorting by date of birth)
13:49 kmlussier #topic Update on OmniTI Performance Work
13:49 moodaepo left #evergreen
13:49 kmlussier I'll make this quick.
13:49 moodaepo joined #evergreen
13:49 kmlussier #info OmniTI began its performance evaluation for Evergreen last month. As most of you have seen, depesz has been looking at the longest-running queries from the C/W MARS server and finding ways to optimize them.
13:50 csharp depesz++
13:50 kmlussier #info They will be taking a different approach to the staff client evaluation than originally planned. With the consensus last month to move away from XULRunner and towards a web-based client, it didn't make sense to evaluate the viability of continuing with XULRunner.
13:50 eeevil depesz++ indeed
13:50 kmlussier #info Instead, jsime has been looking at the way the client is communicating with the backend to determine if there are ways this communication can be optimized when moving to a web-based client.
13:51 kmlussier That's all I have to report at the moment, but I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop on what has been happening. I believe jsime is also available if anyone has any questions.
13:51 csharp kmlussier++
13:51 kmlussier Or, conversely, if jsime has any questions for the devs. :)
13:52 jsime just to toss in real quick that the main issue has so far been that parts of the staff client don't seem to always be taking advantage of features that allow grabbing the full depth of a particular object
13:52 jsime e.g. a patron search which could use the flesh feature to grab both the search results' list of patrons and those patrons' details
13:52 jsime instead of getting the list of patrons, then iterating through it to get each of their details in turn
13:56 kmlussier I think one thing we were thinking we might do with that information is include it as part of some kind of best practices for building a new web client. Or maybe there is a better way to share that information as we proceed with the analysis?
13:56 phasefx jsime: just want to make sure you've seen this: http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.p​hp?id=dev:testing:performance_issues
13:57 jsime phasefx: thanks for the link - berick's notes under General Improvement are spot on for that
13:58 kmlussier OK, we're running short on time. I'm going to move on to the next agenda item.
13:58 kmlussier #topic Discuss freezing of master during beta/RC phase
13:59 berick yeah, i was asking about that.  thanks for added that.. dbwells?
13:59 dbwells This came up a few days ago, and berick suggested we discuss it at the next dev meeting, so I threw it on there.
13:59 berick my main concern was that stuff would accidentally seep into the beta/RC's
14:00 berick but that can probably be avoided with consensus on the plan, communication, etc.
14:00 gmcharlt I see two parts of it
14:00 eeevil fwiw, I'm in favor of a voluntary freeze by committer, not a branch. reason being, it avoids defocusing committer effort on bugs (though there's not much we can do to REfocus volunteers' time)
14:00 gmcharlt freeze 'master' for new features to encourage folks to work on release-critical bugs
14:00 gmcharlt or, freeze master to avoid stuff slipping in by accident
14:01 gmcharlt the later could be addressed just by branch rel_2_5
14:01 gmcharlt *branching
14:01 eeevil the reason I don't like branching is that it increases the workload for the new-version RM
14:01 eeevil which is (I think dbwells and berick will agree) already pretty high
14:02 dbwells yes
14:03 berick indeed.  so, it seems like everyone's in agreement in general.  i'm also fine w/ the honor system
14:04 berick so, no version branch until x.x.0 is tagged?
14:05 dbwells If its ever an issue, accidental or otherwise, I think whoever is RM would notice and talking with the committer an reverting if needed wouldn't be so bad.
14:06 eeevil +1
14:06 dbwells +1
14:06 berick +1
14:06 kmlussier #agree There will be no version branch until x.x.0 is tagged. There will be a feature freeze for master between beta and x.x.0.
14:06 kmlussier Did I get that right?
14:07 berick kmlussier++
14:07 kmlussier OK, anything else for this meeting before we wrap up?
14:07 dbwells kmlussier: I imagine the bot would whine if you didn't :)

14:10 frank_____ hello everybody, I have a question, Is possible having more than one administrator account?
14:11 eeevil frank_____: yes
14:11 berick sylvar: yes, indeed, that's a nice example.  lots of good stuff could be added.
14:11 kmlussier gmcharlt: Thanks! I didn't think it was right to ask you today since you weren't as available for the meeting as usual.
14:11 gmcharlt kmlussier: you're welcome
14:12 sylvar sorry for barging in, y'all
14:12 frank_____ eeevil: How could I do it?
14:12 eeevil sylvar: no no, welcome back! ;)
14:13 eeevil frank_____: the easiest way would be to give a user the EVERYTHING (-1) permission and set the superuser flag on the actor.usr record
14:14 eeevil and give them a home_ou of the top of the tree, and a profile group of the top of the permission group tree
14:15 kmlussier joined #evergreen
14:15 jeff hah. the presence of "Thing 2" at the top navigation confused me for a moment. :-)
14:16 gmcharlt jeff: sadly, Thing 1 didn't make the cut
14:18 berick heh
14:18 csharp @blame The Cat in the Hat
14:18 pinesol_green csharp: It's all The Cat in the Hat's fault!
14:24 frank_____ excellent eeevil thanks
14:32 * jeff reads berick's blog post
14:32 jeff one of us... one of us...
14:33 csharp lots of good dev work out there these days ;-)
14:34 csharp Lo, though our government crumbles around us, the State of the Evergreen Union... is strong
14:35 sylvar What should I do differently from http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=de​v:git#quick_start_for_evergreen_contributors if I want to improve Evergreen-DocBook? Do I need to get onto that project as well?
14:35 sylvar My git-fu has atrophied.
14:37 csharp sylvar: I would assume gmcharlt or tsbere could assist
14:37 bshum The Evergreen Docbook is dead
14:37 bshum Docs are part of the main Evergreen repos now
14:38 sylvar csharp++ bshum++
14:38 bshum sylvar: There's a folder there called "docs" in the main Evergreen repo that has stuff that gets pulled and generated into the docs site
14:39 bshum You'll still need to poke the git admins to get your working keys setup again I imagine.
14:39 bshum But I think that's explained in the wiki page you mentioned
14:40 sylvar yup, gmcharlt++ for that
15:06 gsams joined #evergreen
15:13 sylvar ok, I did 'git push working working_branch:user/sylvar/working_branch' and 'git request-pull origin/master working'. What next?
15:14 * sylvar waits for gmcharlt to tell me "Dang it, you weren't supposed to do that."
15:15 sylvar (or tsbere)
15:16 gmcharlt sylvar: typical way is to tag a LP bug with 'pullrequest'
15:16 gmcharlt (and a comment identifying the branch you want looked at)
15:17 sylvar gmcharlt: OK, shall I file a bug for spellchecking a few docs?
15:18 Eman_ joined #evergreen
15:18 sylvar gmcharlt: and should I just push without request-pull next time?
15:18 gmcharlt sylvar: yeah, open a bug-- DIG might have standing bugs or the like, but I don't know for sure
15:18 gmcharlt and to confirm, you don't need to run git-request-pull
15:21 Eman_ Hi everyone! Quick question: I was reading here: http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/​2.3/_configuration_files.html that that there is more information about the KPAC configuration in the "Evergreen Repository." Where is this repository?
15:22 berick Eman_: i assume it's refering to http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.gi​t;a=blob;f=docs/TechRef/KidsOPAC.txt;h=83d78​75d314fa6734cb79c7e461ed82fc5dee2d2;hb=HEAD
15:25 Eman_ Ah! perfect. Thanks
15:37 sylvar gmcharlt: are release notes frozen in time or should typos be fixed?
15:38 kmlussier +1 to fixing typos in release notes.
15:39 kmlussier Speaking of release notes...
15:41 bshum I think there's bug tickets on some typos?
15:41 kmlussier dbwells: I had technology issues that prevented me from pushing my changes to the 2.5 release notes last week. You mentioned that you have already created the release notes for RC1? Is RC1 the time you are planning to create the RELEASE_NOTES_2_5.txt file?
15:41 bshum Or am I imagining things
15:41 kmlussier dbwells: I just want to make sure I make my corrections in the right files.
15:41 bshum Maybe it was just emails
15:42 kmlussier bshum: There were some bug reports on outdated links. Is that what you're thinking of?
15:43 dbwells kmlussier: Yes, I have created a RELEASE_NOTES_2_5.txt file.  How many changes do you have?
15:43 bshum No, I think I remember seeing somebody mention typos in the release note entries.
15:43 bshum Maybe it was just in IRC.
15:43 * bshum is not in his best state of mind and probably should be quiet now.
15:43 csharp @dice
15:43 pinesol_green csharp: (dice <dice>d<sides>) -- Rolls a die with <sides> number of sides <dice> times. For example, 2d6 will roll 2 six-sided dice; 10d10 will roll 10 ten-sided dice.
15:44 csharp @dice 2d6
15:44 pinesol_green csharp: 1 and 5
15:44 kmlussier dbwells: A bunch. But what I'll do is hold off on them until RELEASE_NOTES_2_5.txt file is pushed into the git repository and make my changes there.
15:44 kmlussier I prefer editing it in one file anyway. :)
15:54 paxed i did mention some typos in the release_notes_next dir, in here.
15:57 frank_____ Is possible to hide a marc tag in the MARC RECORD label in TPAC?
16:10 bshum frank_____: I think that's just spitting out what it grabs from marchtml (which looks like it's something in the perl stuff that just grabs the marc content and prints it out).  I don't know of easy ways to modify that personally.
16:12 bshum Does the tag carry significance that needs to be visible in the staff view vs. the public view?  Or is it information you can throw away by pruning it from the records?
16:12 frank_____ Act
16:12 eeevil frank_____: you could use CSS with content-based selectors, but that won't be robust...
16:13 frank_____ sorry, actually, the staff patron want to hide a marc tag value because there appear the proyect name who bought the book, so, they dont want to show this, but they want to keep the tag
16:15 bshum Perhaps this is a case where using something like a copy statistical category to track and report on sources of the material might be better than using MARC conventions to track that information.
16:15 senator frank_____: hiding the tag in the opac, even if manage that, won't be good enough. marc records can be grabbed through other interfaces as well. if information is meant to be secret, it must be kept out of the marc record
16:15 bshum We do that in our consortium where we have a "source" copy stat cat that tracks which vendor/gift/whatever paid for the item.
16:15 bshum Then run reports against those related copies.

16:30 hopkinsju bshum: Is it my imagination or did the search box disappear from the new open-ils website?
16:32 bshum hopkinsju: "disappear" isn't the word I would have used. More like "never existed" in the new site.
16:32 bshum I believe moodaepo had indicated some work in building it again. I took a look but have been distracted with travels this week.
16:33 moodaepo hopkinsju: bshum: Yea it's still being resurrected.
16:33 bshum There are some WordPress plugins that make use of the custom google search engine, but google limits api use and charges money for it.
16:34 bshum I think the final approach will likely require some code thinking to add a box manually and avoid the API.
16:35 bshum Also making a landing search page that embeds the google framed results, I think.
16:35 hopkinsju I see. Thanks guys. In the meantime I guess it's just site:open-ils.org
16:35 bshum Technically evergreen-ils.org is the proper hostname.
16:36 hopkinsju bshum++
16:36 hopkinsju Thanks
16:36 bshum Add that to the list of things to do to push some forced redirect to the proper names.
16:39 jeff oh, was it decided to drop the www?
16:39 jeff i haven't been following web team discussions in a while.
16:40 bshum jeff: I didn't even know that wasn't decided. The www is just one of the many aliases that work too.
16:40 jeff sure, but it's the only one that i just saw that redirects to something else.
16:40 jeff so i figured that was intentional.
16:41 * bshum shrugs
16:41 bshum Is that in the dns or apache side?
16:41 bshum (i don't work with the dns stuff)
16:41 jeff not dns.
16:42 bshum Might just be a wordpress thing that I didn't look closely at....
16:42 * jeff nods
16:43 stevenyvr2 joined #evergreen
16:44 * bshum is going to go find some lunch before he becomes too much of a hermit in his hotel room.
16:44 bshum Bye for now folks.
16:45 jeff bshum: enjoy!

19:13 dbwells After much gnashing of teeth, I finally have updated RC1 bits in the usual places.  Please feel free to grab them and test if you are so inclined.
19:15 dbwells I haven't been able to update the downloads page, as it is currently locked by another editor.  At this point, I guess that part will have to wait for tomorrow.
19:16 * dbwells head for home
19:18 * dbwells listens to that command to himself :)
