10:14 csharp @karma parts
10:14 pinesol_green csharp: Karma for "parts" has been increased 10 times and decreased 18 times for a total karma of -8.
10:14 dbwells parts++
10:16 dbwells I just don't like so much negativity toward any code brave enough to tackle a really tough problem :)
10:16 jboyer-isl Parts have a quantum mechanical property; they’re simultaneously positive and negative until observed.
10:19 kmlussier dbwells++
10:19 * bshum is feeling generous today and will not give parts negative karma for the moment.

12:58 dbs is bug 1147028 the only one that mentions adding a target for database server dependencies, like Rose::URI and Library::CallNumber::LC?
12:58 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1147028 in OpenSRF "Build System Prerequisite Installation Improvements" (affected: 2, heat: 10) [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1147028
12:58 dbs I could swear I heard mention of a branch to add those back in just in the past week or so.
12:59 dbs (context: 2.6 database server got rebuilt, Library::CallNumber::LC was not added, unhappy times adding/editing/deleting call numbers for our LC-using libraries)
13:02 csharp I edited the README in my ubuntu-14-04-makefile-signoff branch to use deb repos where possible, but I didn't add Makefile targets for them
13:04 dbs Is there any reason not to include the debs that we can in the PGSQL_SERVER_DEBS_93 stanza? /me is tempted to do so
13:05 csharp I can't think of a good reason not to
13:05 dbs Maybe make it a single target that then gets included in both the base DEBS and the PGSQL_SERVER_DEBS_93 stanzas, to avoid duplication
13:05 csharp yeah, I was thinking that myself
13:10 dbs Would make the README simpler too.
13:10 * dbs will take a stab, later
13:13 csharp dbs++
13:13 bshum dbs++
13:13 bshum Yeah we mused about that when we were playing with the 14.04 makefile.
13:13 bshum I just forgot about it :(
13:14 dbs I've _told_ you guys not to increment me until I actually _do_ something :)
13:14 dbs Now you'll make me feel guilty if I get caught up in something else - heh
13:19 bshum :)
13:39 eeevil grabbing 0890 for some bug fixin' goodness
13:46 mnsri joined #evergreen
13:46 pinesol_green [evergreen|Bill Erickson] LP#800478 repair logic error in acq fund transfer - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=31f025d>
13:46 pinesol_green [evergreen|Mike Rylander] LP#800478: Stamping upgrade script for fund transfer fix - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=4e40c88>
13:57 bshum Hmm
13:58 dbs Uh oh. bshum's a-thinking
13:58 bshum I'm just testing to see what happens if the websockets portion isn't deployed right and it looks like bits of the XUL staff client die off (the stuff that was changed)
13:59 bshum At some point today, I'd like to commit the first phase web client code to master, but I just wanted to see what other potential ramifications there are to having it
14:15 mnsri joined #evergreen
14:17 bshum So yeah, without websockets running, it's an unhappy internal server error using the catalog for things like holds/lists.
14:17 bshum So it's definitely required once we add it in
14:22 RBecker joined #evergreen
14:25 * dbs throws an (untested!) branch at http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=wor​king/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=ref​s/heads/user/dbs/db_server_packages
14:37 bshum Hmm
14:38 bshum dbs: For an app server, wouldn't you still need some of the perl packages to be installed to run properly?
14:38 bshum dbs: Meaning, we can't move out all the extra debs to the DEBS_PGSQL_COMMON_MODS
14:38 bshum dbs: Oh, wait
14:38 bshum Nevermind I see it now
14:38 bshum You're installing it all the time
14:39 bshum Or some of the time
14:39 bshum Depends on which is called up
14:40 bshum dbs++
14:42 mnsri joined #evergreen
14:43 bshum Do we need to include debian-squeeze in there still?
14:45 dbs bshum: I just included it because it was there. Although I was admittedly a little surprised that it was still there :)
14:46 jeff it's still supported oldstable until jessie is released, right?
14:46 gmcharlt jeff: it's also the new Debian LTS
14:46 jeff right, but that's "unofficial" as I understand it.
14:47 dbs debian-squeeze-still-supported​-but-please-don't-actually-use
14:47 bshum Hehe
14:47 jeff oh, actually squeeze (per the LTS information at https://wiki.debian.org/LTS ) is no longer supported by the Debian security team. I knew but had forgotten that unusual tidbit.
14:48 gmcharlt jeff: it's got an LTS team and everything
14:48 gmcharlt jeff: and unless https://www.debian.org/News/2014/20140616 was superseded, it seems official enough
14:50 jeff "unofficial" in the sense that LTS will not receive support from the Debian Security Team, but by a distinct group of volunteers and backing companies. It's a bit of an experiment, so I'm not that surprised that there's some confusing bits like "will not be handled by the Debian security team" followed by "Companies using Debian who are interested in aiding this effort should contact team@security.debian.org" :-)
14:53 gmcharlt bshum: to state my opinion more explicitly, due to the existance of the LTS, I would prefer that squeeze support not be removed "just because", and I'm willing to give it a few tuits
14:53 jeff so at some point we may wish to determine if Evergreen policy will be to support Evergreen on LTS versions of Debian.
14:54 kmlussier eeevil, berick_: Could bug 800478 be backported to 2.5/2.6?
14:54 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 800478 in Evergreen 2.6 "Acquisitions - Funds transfer always transfers entire fund, not specified amount" (affected: 5, heat: 34) [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/800478
14:54 gmcharlt though only up to a point - i.e., I'm not planning on doing package backporting or the like to keep it alive
14:54 jeff and that decision may make sense to treat in a similar fashion as how Debian is treating the LTS release in general -- an experiment of "let's see how it goes"
14:54 bshum gmcharlt: If you have some tuits to follow what dbs has done for the other makefiles and README changes, then I think we can easily accomodate that.
14:55 gmcharlt bshum: fair enough
14:55 bshum Otherwise, I was thinking to commit what he has so far for ease of use and then fix squeeze later on.
14:55 dbs gmcharlt: also, I didn't actually touch the debian-squeeze stuff because the databse server requirements for squeeze weren't listed in the README
14:55 eeevil kmlussier: I'll see if there's any drift that would stop it. I suspect 2.6 is fine, though.  I'll look...
14:56 kmlussier eeevil: We may also have somebody who can test it on 2.6 if it's needed.
14:57 jeff but one thing that stands out to me is that as currently planned, the number of Debian LTS releases with "current support" would be fewer than the number of Ubuntu LTS releases with "current support"
14:58 jeff ...or perhaps about the same. nevermind me.
14:59 dbs bshum: don't commit yet, there's some extra quoting in the packages that won't work
14:59 dbs yum -y install "gcc perl-Business-ISBN ..." postgresql postgresql-contrib ...
15:00 bshum dbs: Ah okay, no problem.  I was going to try it on a test server first, but I appreciate the warning.
15:00 dbs it treats the double-quoted string as a single package name :)
15:00 bshum Heh
15:00 * dbs will tweak
15:00 eeevil kmlussier: looks perfectly safe. I'll pull those to 2.6/2.5
15:00 kmlussier eeevil++ Thanks!
15:03 dbs bshum: force-pushed a quoteless version
15:04 mnsri joined #evergreen
15:25 jboyer-isl I’m slowly driving myself mad trying to work backward from my account to where one might enable things like history.circ.retention_age for a user. Is this an opt-in setting that has to be enabled somehow, or is it just not wired up in the opac at all?
15:25 mnsri joined #evergreen
15:28 tsbere jboyer-isl: I believe it is already in the patron preferences in the opac
15:28 tsbere jboyer-isl: Though maybe not on your version, possibly....
15:29 jboyer-isl I’m not seeing it on a default install, only the “Keep Circ/Hold history?” settings.
15:31 jboyer-isl I assume they’re older than 2.6.2-ish?
15:32 mmorgan jboyer-isl: There are user settings that define the history preferences.
15:32 mmorgan history.circ.retention_age, history.circ.retention_start
15:33 jboyer-isl mmorgan: Those are the settings I want to be able to see. :) My development server is not cooperating. I see entries for start, nothing for age.
15:34 jboyer-isl in prefs_settings.tt2 the history.*.start settings are shown, but there’s no mention of age. I tried to add them myself following the pattern of other settings in that file (just made it a drop down instead of free-text) but I’m not able to save changes. No errors, of course. :/
15:36 mmorgan Ah ok. Same here. 2147 entries in our production database for start, 0 for age.
15:38 jboyer-isl I’ll keep plugging away at it, just wanted to make sure I haven’t stumbled into something that has already been solved.

16:13 jeff jboyer-isl: what are you trying to do?
16:14 jboyer-isl Make the history.circ.retention_age (and hold)  setting available to patrons in the opac before purging old circs/holds.
16:16 jboyer-isl They have opac_visible = true but they’re not referenced with history.circ.retention_start.
16:18 jboyer-isl and so far efforts to add them to prefs_settings.tt2 haven’t been successful.
16:21 tsbere jboyer-isl: I am not sure you need those. "start" is going to trump in the short term anyway...
16:24 jboyer-isl tsbere: action.purge_circulations does refer to them, if they exist. Though it does appear you’re right for now, there aren’t any start times older than we’ll be removing (until next year…)
