10:19 Bmagic @coffee
10:19 * pinesol_green brews and pours a cup of El Salvador Pacamara Finca Los Alpes The Bank, and sends it sliding down the bar to Bmagic
10:19 Bmagic mmmmmmm, doughnuts
10:21 bshum Bmagic: Oh, great.... now I want doughnuts too :(
10:21 Bmagic haha!
10:22 * kmlussier has Christmas cookies in close proximity to her desk.

10:52 kmlussier It's too bad we can't share all these treats through the channel.
10:58 remingtron kmlussier: someday we'll have a 3D fax machine
10:59 kmlussier remingtron: Yes, and someday we'll be able to flavor the paper to taste like my chocolate mint cookies.
10:59 kmlussier Or maybe we should just focus on the replicators.
11:01 remingtron "Oh man! Who printed their reports on my chocolate paper?!"
11:05 tsbere remingtron: Well, that would make it nicer when you decide someone needs to eat the report for security/privacy reasons. ;)

11:47 bshum berick++ # I'm testing https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1392759 to get a new build system setup today to roll releases.
11:47 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1392759 in Evergreen "Developer/Packager Makefile.install targets" (affected: 1, heat: 6) [Wishlist,New]
11:49 bshum berick: As a side question, I can see that there's a distinction made between "developer" and "packager" in the Makefile
11:49 bshum I assume I should also run the developer one so that when we go to build the release including the web client stuff, that it'll have the necessary deps in place
11:50 berick bshum: yes.
11:50 berick maybe "packager" should include "developer" within the makefile
11:50 bshum Hmm
11:50 bshum Could be handy
11:51 gsams joined #evergreen
11:53 bshum berick: In my own notes for i18n, I have two more packages that I ended up installing to make the i18n dance work
11:54 bshum libtemplate-perl and liblocale-maketext-lexicon-perl
11:54 bshum For 14.04 anyways.
11:54 berick bshum: ah, ok, i'll push a patch to include those and include developer w/i packager
11:54 bshum berick++ # sweet :)
11:55 bshum And might I say, I love this super handy addition for future release setup.  :D
11:57 berick great, glad it's helping
11:59 * bshum goes and rolls 2.7.2 to test and see if everything installed right in his new building environment.
12:04 berick bshum: hm, are you building on a machine that does not have EG installed?
12:04 berick just curious about the lack of libtemplate-perl and liblocale-maketext-lexicon-perl
12:04 bshum berick: Yep, I already found a quirk.
12:04 bshum Not having autoconf, etc.
12:04 bshum Yeah, maybe those come with a system that has everything
12:05 berick they do
12:05 bshum Or have the other prereq's for Evergreen
12:05 berick EG uses them
12:05 bshum Gotcha.
12:05 eeevil berick: have you had a chance to look further at your https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1373690 ?
12:05 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1373690 in Evergreen "Direct EDI generation for ACQ orders -- AKA kill ruby webrick" (affected: 1, heat: 8) [Undecided,New] - Assigned to Bill Erickson (erickson-esilibrary)
12:05 * bshum doesn't usually run Evergreen on his laptop directly.
12:06 Dyrcona bshum: I find you have install a bit more stuff when you build a vm using the Ubuntu vmbuilder scripts.
12:07 berick eeevil: not since the hackfest.  it's on my mental todo list, but not sure when I can return to it.  it was almost done, IIRC, minus the final merge prep
12:07 eeevil oh, cool
12:07 eeevil the "not for human eyes" scared me :)
12:09 berick heh, yeah, well EDI rarely is, i guess
12:09 eeevil that's fair
12:09 Dyrcona berick eeevil: I might be able to scare up someone who would be willing to test it with a vendor, but probably not until after the New Year.
12:09 berick bshum: if you come up w/ a list of prereqs for non-EG-installed machines, we can add them to the makefile target
12:09 berick Dyrcona++
12:09 eeevil Dyrcona++ # indeed
12:09 berick i'll try to give it some eyes soon, then
12:10 berick bshum: hmm, but you have to build EG to create packages.. so you're goign to need most of the prereqs
12:11 bshum berick: That's a good question.  I don't usually install the EG pre-req's.  Or at least I haven't been doing so regularly.
12:11 bshum I just get the basics in there
12:13 berick hmm, ok, yeah, when it runs ./configure it's using --disable-blah, so i'm wrong.  you don't need most
12:13 berick ignore that last comment :)
12:13 bshum :P
12:13 berick bshum: ok, so back to where I started, I'm happy to extend the 'packager' target to accommodate non-EG-installed systems
12:14 bshum berick++ # it's pretty close I think; I'll know more once I get a successful tarball build out.
12:14 berick cool
12:20 Dyrcona bshum: If before you were talking about installing the Evergreen libs and what-not on your laptop in "client" mode, it's probably not a good idea.
12:21 Dyrcona Most of it doesn't work without changes on the Evergreen to allow private router access, and then you wouldn't want to allow that from outside your LAN.
12:22 Dyrcona "on the Evergreen" should probably be "on the ejabberd server"
12:24 * Dyrcona runs off to microwave his pie.

12:37 mmorgan Anybody successfully overridden "COPY_NOT_AVAILABLE" in selfcheck?
12:37 mmorgan I have circ.selfcheck.auto_override_checkout_events set as ["COPY_ALERT_MESSAGE","COPY_NOT_AVAILABLE"]
12:37 mmorgan The copy alert part works fine, but trying to check out a not available copy just hangs.
12:38 mmorgan The log is telling me: circulator: bailing out with events: COPY_NOT_AVAILABLE
12:38 Dyrcona Does the self check circ user have COPY_NOT_AVAILABLE.override permission?
12:39 Dyrcona Didn't look to see if COPY_NOT_AVAILABLE is overridable, btw. That just comes to mind, though.
12:40 mmorgan Yes, the user has that permission.
12:48 mmorgan I swear the selfcheck/status thing worked when I originally tested, but it's not working now :-(
12:49 Dyrcona Well, the log messages suggest that either the user doesn't have the permission or the override check is not being done for that event.
12:52 mmorgan Here are a few more lines from the log.

13:05 gmcharlt thanks
13:05 RoganH And I'll be in and out of paying attention as I have something else going on at the same time (a reference materials meeting).
13:05 gmcharlt I will need to keep this meeting short today, so let's just focus on highlights, please
13:05 gmcharlt #topic Action items from previous meetings
13:06 gmcharlt I've had very little time, what with crossing the continent, so first...
13:06 gmcharlt #action (carry-over) gmcharlt will coordinate/assist with dbs to move the planet
13:07 gmcharlt #action (carry-over) gmcharlt with work with DIG to get a test VM for doc-building set up
13:07 gmcharlt #action gmcharlt will follow up with ericar re libraries roster and LP instructions page
13:07 gmcharlt #action gmcharlt will tweak the “learn more” buttons shortly
13:07 gmcharlt #action (carry-over) gmcharlt will coordinate with the EOB regarding the trademark policy page
13:08 gmcharlt kmlussier: could you talk about your action items as well as the current status of the conference registration & events plugin?
13:08 kmlussier I'll get the easy one out of the way first.
13:09 kmlussier #info kmlussier has applied updates to the Getting Started page. The page now contains sections for testing code and funding projects.
13:09 kmlussier I haven't worked on the action item to bring over previous conference materials, because I have been focusing on getting an event registration solution for this year's conference.
13:10 kmlussier Mainly because it looks like we won't be able to get continued sponsorship to get Eventbrite fees, but also because I think it would be good if we didn't have to send our info to a third party.
13:11 kmlussier I looked at a couple of plug-ins. The one that looks like it would work best for our conference is the Pro version of events manager.
13:11 kmlussier #link http://wp-events-plugin.com/
13:12 kmlussier At this point, there are 2 things that could delay the conference registration. 1) we still are waiting for the venue contract to be signed.
13:12 kmlussier And the SFC has concers about this plug-in because it isn't fully licensed as GPL.
13:13 kmlussier I'm still waiting to hear back from them on those concerns.
13:14 kmlussier My preference is to use it because I think it's a better solution to using Eventbrite.
13:14 gmcharlt thanks for the update
13:14 nhilton joined #evergreen
13:15 gmcharlt I believe that phasefx has completed the update the FAQs page
13:15 gmcharlt phasefx: correct?
13:15 phasefx correct
13:15 gmcharlt #info update of the FAQs page by phasefx is complete
13:15 gmcharlt phasefx++
13:15 gmcharlt kmlussier++
13:16 phasefx related, yamil has put together some vendor-related faq's, linked off of the vendor page
13:16 * phasefx is using "vendor" as short-hand, of course :)
13:17 gmcharlt thanks
13:18 gmcharlt on a different note, I believe that the test of the jobs plugin that RoganH did was a success
13:18 gmcharlt so I think next steps are to get the jobs listing pages linked up
13:19 gmcharlt and publicize their existance
13:19 kmlussier Yay! RoganH++
13:20 gmcharlt #info Jobs plugin installed and tested; now needs to be linked to navigation and publicized
13:20 gmcharlt in system administration news...
13:21 gmcharlt #info Galen has updated dokuwiki after a security release
13:21 gmcharlt #action jeff will upgrade the web server to Squeeze LTS
13:23 bshum gmcharlt++ jeff++
13:23 gmcharlt so at this point, except for potentially some minor maintenance tasks and possibly installation of the events manager plugin
13:23 gmcharlt we'll be in a holding pattern until next year
13:24 gmcharlt (and gah -- is it really almost 2015? why was only six months allocated to 2014?!?!)
13:24 gmcharlt so, any topics are areas of concern that folks would like to bring up now?
13:24 kmlussier None from me.
13:26 * kmlussier needs to disappear
13:26 gmcharlt ok
13:26 * gmcharlt as well
13:26 gmcharlt thanks, everybody!

14:44 bshum Well I finished building the 2.7.2 tarball, but now I'm poking at the innards of the version upgrade script to add in the extra bits from the 2.6.2-2.6.3 script that we missed.  Shouldn't take too much longer to roll out.
14:46 * dbs in the process of disabling "Group formats and editions" after a lengthy tete-a-tete with a fellow librarian
14:47 kmlussier dbs: What's the problem?
14:48 bshum dbs: I like that there's a big global off-switch to metarecords :)
14:49 bshum Well, for TPAC anyways.
14:51 kmlussier We have one consortium that has turned it off, mostly due to bug 1373203
14:51 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1373203 in Evergreen "Need a more intuitive means of escape after clicking Advanced Hold Options" (affected: 3, heat: 18) [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1373203
14:51 kmlussier One that issue is addressed, I think they plan to turn it back on again.
14:51 bshum kmlussier: We turned ours off because we still haven't fully agreed on the way that metarecords are grouped.
14:52 * kmlussier nods
14:52 bshum In terms of title + author.
14:52 bshum Just need some tweaking there.
14:52 kmlussier I think improvements could be done there.
14:52 bshum We just haven't gotten around to it.
14:52 bshum Plus then we'd have to retrain everybody on what an "M" hold is.
14:52 bshum That was super confusing the one upgrade I forgot to turn off metarecords for...
14:53 mrpeters im drawing a blank on date transforms -- is there a way to filter on Date Value = "Today" so that a recurring report will always give the information for the day it was run (assuming it would run at say, 11PM towards the end of the day after closing)
14:53 mrpeters kind of like now() in psql
15:10 dbs kmlussier: a bunch of problems; some related to eresource display (seeing 30 largely undifferentiated eresource links for a single entry in search results isn't very useful) and that we don't allow holds on available items, so the whole metarecord hold is largely useless
15:11 dbs And then grouping formats where format means not just large print vs. paperback, but also includes movies, etc, is also not so useful
15:11 dbs So really, not great for our academic orientation
15:14 dbs config.tt2++ # indeed
15:21 bshum Grr, the more I poke at meshing the version-upgrade SQL bits together, the more I think I should just make a blog post talking about 2.7.2 and how we recommend folks to also run the 2.6.2-2.6.3 separately if they missed it prior to upgrading to 2.7.
15:21 kmlussier dbs: Sure, that makes sense.
15:21 * bshum is grumbly at the version-upgrade scripts
15:22 bshum Or maybe I should just tack on an echo'd note at the end of 2.7.2 with a "if you upgrade from 2.6 to 2.7 and missed 2.6.2-2.6.3, go run that"
15:24 kmlussier We don't find that our movies are grouped with books, paperbacks, large print. I always assumed it was because they didn't match on author.
15:26 dbs Could be some local cataloguing things going on for us too.
15:27 bshum joined #evergreen
15:28 dbs Just trying to explain what "Group formats and editions" does was a bit painful. We also saw confusion about whether "Group" was a noun, verb, or adjective in that label
15:47 bshum Okay, uploading 2.7.2 stuff and getting things in place before I change up the downloads page.
15:57 bshum And we're set.
15:58 * bshum decides now is good time to go edit and update our wikipedia entry with the latest version release and date
16:00 * Dyrcona waits on 4,291,491 lines from a file to populate into a database table.
