10:09 * mmorgan missed a fun holds discussion on Friday! ... and has a question :)
10:10 mmorgan Within a soft-stalling period, if there's a hold for pickup at Abbot Library, and Abbot does not own a copy, does the soft stalling interval still apply?
10:15 * kmlussier doesn't remember.
10:18 kmlussier mmorgan: I haven't tested it, but I think it would. Because the stalling is there to give the library who has it on their pull list time to pull it.
10:18 kmlussier The pull list library most likely wouldn't be the pickup library in this case.
10:19 bshum The soft stalling should still apply to keep any other library (not targeted) from capturing the hold opportunistically.
10:21 kmlussier Way back when we were first learning about Evergreen, I found that phasefx's explanation in this thread - http://georgialibraries.markma​il.org/thread/ulkblq7rgzcj7g64 - very helpful.
10:26 mmorgan ok, so during the stalling interval, only the single targeted copy could fill the hold. I think that's the part that was never quite clear to me.
10:26 kmlussier Or, if an opportunistic capture happens at the pickup library.
10:27 mmorgan kmlussier: Oh right! Because even if the pickup library doesn't own it, another library's copy could get checked in there.
10:30 * mmorgan fits another piece into the million piece jigsaw puzzle that is Evergreen holds :)

11:02 berick hmm, there are a number of docs commits in master that were not back-ported to rel_2_8.  most of them look related to 2.8, so I'm going to back-port for RC1
11:04 kmlussier Is there any documentation or even rough notes on how to go about installing hatch?
11:04 berick there's a readme for linux in the repository
11:04 berick phasefx said recently that he installed on windows, possible he documented it
11:05 kmlussier The readme will work for me.
11:05 kmlussier And I think these must be the Windows instructions? https://raw.githubusercontent.com​/phasefx/random/hatch/README.win
11:06 bshum berick: It's probably that the docs folks didn't realize there was already the rel_2_8 branch
11:06 berick bshum: that's my assumption
11:06 remingtron berick: bshum: you assume correctly!
11:07 phasefx kmlussier: that's them re: README.win
11:07 yboston berick: I may be guilty of this, roughly how long ago was the rel_2_8 branch created?
11:07 pastebot "berick" at 64.57.241.14 pasted "back-porting docs commits to rel_2_8" (9 lines) at http://paste.evergreen-ils.org/46
11:08 remingtron berick: yup, mostly me
11:08 berick yboston: guilty is a strong word ;)
11:08 berick i should have made more noise when the new branch was created
11:08 yboston "I may be allegedly responsible for that"
11:08 berick "I can neither confirm nor deny"
11:09 berick ok, pushed
11:09 remingtron berick++
11:15 kmlussier Just to be clear, if you don't install hatch, you can still print, but you would just be relying on the Windows printer settings, right?
11:15 kmlussier Are there other things hatch does other than handle printer settings?
11:16 berick kmlussier: correct.  and, yes, hatch does other things
11:16 berick http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?​id=dev:browser_staff:hatch:who_needs_it
11:17 jboyer-isl joined #evergreen
11:18 kmlussier berick++ Thank you!
11:18 berick Hatch, huh, good God, what is it good for
11:18 kmlussier Oh, right. offline. I forgot about that.
11:21 berick @weather 27712
11:21 pinesol_green berick: The current temperature in Heritage Heights, Durham, North Carolina is 77.4°F (11:15 AM EDT on March 17, 2015). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 31%. Dew Point: 44.6°F. Pressure: 29.80 in 1009 hPa (Falling).
11:21 berick that's what I'm talking about
11:21 * kmlussier wonders how a 2.8-testing kind of day turned into a web-client-testing kind of day.
11:21 Dyrcona @weather 01845
11:21 pinesol_green Dyrcona: The current temperature in WB1CHU, Lawrence, Massachusetts is 39.0°F (11:21 AM EDT on March 17, 2015). Conditions: Light Rain. Humidity: 100%. Dew Point: 39.2°F. Windchill: 39.2°F. Pressure: 29.49 in 998 hPa (Falling).
11:22 Dyrcona berick: "Absolutely nothin'!"
11:22 Dyrcona berick++
11:22 berick ;)
11:22 kmlussier 39 feels like spring to me.
11:23 Dyrcona Me, too.
11:23 mmorgan Me three!
11:24 kmlussier I could do with a little less rain, though.
11:24 dkyle1 joined #evergreen
11:24 jmccarty joined #evergreen
11:25 mmorgan Me too, unless it's the REAL spring kind of rain.
11:25 mmorgan This is not that.
11:26 jmccarty anyone know where I can look to find out why clark-kent.pl isn't starting? I run the script to start the reporter then the ps -ef | grep -i clark shows nothing running....
11:26 Dyrcona jmccarty: Does /tmp/reporter.lock or whatever exist?
11:27 jmccarty no reporter.lock file in /tmp
11:27 Dyrcona jmccarty: /tmp/reporter-LOCK
11:27 Dyrcona Sorry. Had to look it up.
11:27 jmccarty no worries, reporter-LOCK does not exist in /tmp either
11:28 Dyrcona So, you run the start script and get no output and clark isn't running? I've never seen that. It has always printed an error on screen.
11:28 yboston EG conference question, who should I contact to ask if there are plans to reserve meeting time for various Eg groups like the authoritites group or the cataloging group?
11:30 kmlussier yboston: Beth Longwell had sent a message to the list a couple of weeks ago asking people about interest groups. So I would say she's the person.
11:30 jmccarty yeah, I run the script and afterwards it says you have new mail in /var/mail/opensrf and then I check the results with ps -f | grep -i clark and it shows nothing (usually shows clark-kent waiting for trouble [or something to that effect])
11:30 kmlussier I already asked her about authorities, though. Because I wanted the cheese flan.
11:31 kmlussier yboston: bshum is on programming. He might know if something is already scheduled.
11:31 yboston kmlussier: I have no recollection of that email, if you have a copy can you send it to me? also, PM me so we can arrange the quid pro cuo
11:31 * berick is really curious about the shuttle status
11:32 bshum yboston: kmlussier: Programs committee is still ongoing in terms of finalizing the schedule, we had some preliminary stuff we're still batting around in committee.
11:32 bshum That said, the last draft included dedicated time slots for Cataloging, Authorities interest groups.
11:32 kmlussier berick: I've seen some information on that, but I don't know if it's been firmed up enough to share. buzzy was handling it.
11:32 bshum Well, "dedicated" meaning they'll be on the schedule somewhere.
11:32 yboston bshum: is the catalogign group in consideration for getting a meeting time?
11:32 yboston bshum: if you happen to recall
11:32 yboston bshum: thanks
11:33 bshum blongwell is lead on the programs committee and I do believe she did send something about interest groups already.  I expect she'll do a follow-up on that soon.
11:35 berick thanks, kmlussier
11:36 yboston I am "allegedly" an idiot, I saw Beth's email and just focused on the survey and completed it. I missed the part about the interest groups

12:53 mmorgan Hmm. So is there a permission to control who can mark a circulation "Claimed Never Checked Out"?
12:53 mmorgan I am not seeing one.
12:57 mmorgan Looks like in an attempt to renew items, sometimes "Mark Claimed Never Checked Out" is chosen, which is right above "Renew" on the menu :-(
13:07 kmlussier :(

13:30 * bshum waves at DPearl
13:30 bshum DPearl: Out of curiosity, have you had any time to take a poke at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1406786 ?
13:30 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1406786 in Evergreen "Merge parts functionality fails to preserve copy_part mapping" (affected: 4, heat: 20) [Medium,Confirmed]
13:31 Dyrcona joined #evergreen
13:36 DPearl bshum: Hi, Ben.  I have desk-checked the code and it looks fine.  I am shortly going to try it on a 2.7.4 after I get that up on my dev machine to repro the problem, which I haven't seen.  The original bug fix commit looks complete.
13:47 bshum DPearl: Okay, let us know what you see on your next test system.  I'm still poking at it slowly myself to try figuring out where things went awry.
13:49 Dyrcona Probably because it updates the monograph part to point to the new record, any link with the old is broken and not preserved.
13:51 Dyrcona There's a pcrud update going on in the JavaScript.
13:53 bshum Well I would have expected something to change the copy map to point at the new part before the delete. But yeah, hmm...
13:57 DPearl Is the pcrud update asynchronous?  Is there some mechanism for a callback which I need to use.  As it is written, the intention is to write out the new copy_map items, then it will get rid of the unneeded parts.  If the pcrud update has not occured, then getting rid of the part will get rid of the copy_part map entry.
13:58 Dyrcona Well, the bug suggests that someone expects the old copy part map to remain.
13:58 Dyrcona Ah. Maybe I misunderstand the problem.
14:00 Dyrcona I don't think it should be asynchronous, but I don't know the JavaScript that well.
14:02 eeevil DPearl: what js lib are you using to make the pcrud calls? there are a few different ways to do it. and, there are sync and async versions. but what you probably want to do is just create the fieldmapper objects you want (with isdeleted, isnew, ischanged set to a truthy value as needed) and then use pcrud.apply()
14:03 Dyrcona eeevil: it uses pcrud.update().
14:04 eeevil Dyrcona: for updates, yes. and pcrud.create() and pcrud.eliminate() (IIRC) for insert and delete
14:04 eeevil Dyrcona: or, do you mean the existing code, sorry
14:05 eeevil aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, gtalk is broke
14:06 Dyrcona I mean the current code.
14:06 Dyrcona http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=bl​ob;f=Open-ILS/web/js/dojo/openils/biblio/monograph​PartMerge.js;h=59b557e89e75e4ed357c888f27f1f988c82​24ffd;hb=8f4d3efb029f109d3dc7dc69cf458c2834c725d6

15:25 bshum berick++
15:26 berick i think we need dual release managers.  one technical manager, one PR manager ;)
15:27 * berick could use some eg-ils.org site admin help, though
15:36 * kmlussier likes the release team approach that I thought was used for a release a few years ago.
15:36 kmlussier berick: What do you need help with?
15:36 Newziky joined #evergreen
15:41 berick kmlussier: changing the downloads page from beta to rc1
15:43 Dyrcona joined #evergreen
15:44 * kmlussier can do that
15:48 dbs rather randomly for bshum and Dyrcona, gogs.io might be an alternative to gitolite + launchpad :)
15:49 bshum For a short time, moodaepo and I experimented with gitlab back in the day.  Though I've heard off rumblings about that.
15:50 bshum In my abundant spare time, maybe I'll try to take a look at gogs.io.  Thanks dbs ;)
15:50 dbs heh
15:50 * dbs goes for kids
15:52 bshum From a cursory glance, it looks very github-like with the issue tracker
15:54 Dyrcona Well, it would be another reason to play with Go some more.
15:55 kmlussier Do we stay at red for a release candidate?
15:55 bshum Yellow alert.
15:57 Dyrcona Yellow card? Red card?
15:58 Dyrcona Hey! What's that other git site that I signed up for but don't use as much as github? ;)
15:58 Dyrcona I'm drawing a blank on its name.
15:58 Dyrcona I s'pose I could look it up.
15:58 bshum I used bitbucket for a short time
15:58 Dyrcona Not bitbucket, has git in its name.
15:58 * bshum was not super impressed but didn't use all the suites
15:59 bshum Gitorious?
15:59 Dyrcona Yes. Gitorious!
15:59 Dyrcona Their code is available to use.
15:59 bshum Which seems to be acquired by Gitlab.
15:59 Dyrcona It's AGPL, IIRC.
15:59 Dyrcona It was?
16:00 bshum There's a thingy on the Gitorious site that's sending us to Gitlab.com
16:00 bshum Maybe it's a hosting change.
16:00 Dyrcona Oh bummer.
16:00 Dyrcona They want you to move to gitlab.
16:00 bshum http://thenextweb.com/insider/2015/03/03/gitl​ab-acquires-rival-gitorious-will-shut-june-1/
16:00 Dyrcona I believe everything I have on Gitorious is on github already.
16:00 bshum Yep
16:01 Dyrcona Too much to keep up with.
16:02 jeffdavis Are there good reasons not to just use github if we were to move away from gitolite/launchpad?
16:02 kmlussier berick: Links are updated
16:02 berick kmlussier++ thanks!
16:03 Dyrcona A better issue tracker than github's might be desirable.
16:04 Dyrcona I wanted to experiment with Gitorious' code at some point but never made the time.
16:05 Dyrcona So, I only have two projects on gitorious and I'm watching three others, one of which belongs to dbs.
16:05 bshum jeffdavis: I think people also had some qualms about being hosted by a third party that wasn't open source and under our full control.
16:05 bshum We kind of talked about some ideas in Vancouver at different tables and meetings, but we didn't get too far along.
16:07 bshum That said, I'm not committed to any particular system.
16:08 Dyrcona IIRC, github, gitorious, gitlabs were all discussed.
16:08 Dyrcona I'd like better bug searching, but I've not found too many ticket/bug systems with decent search.
16:09 DPearl left #evergreen
16:12 Dyrcona Maybe I'll try gitlab for "fun."
16:15 Dyrcona Funny. gogs is hosted on github. :)
