09:07 Dyrcona bshum++
09:14 * Dyrcona runs git gc to eliminate some "phantom" branches.
09:23 Dyrcona kmlussier: I updated my development vm with the latest sprint2-sprint3 changes.
09:24 kmlussier gmcharlt: Are you at a stopping point with the sprint 2 work? If so, I'll take a look at the branch on Dyrcona's VM, and, if it looks as good as it does on webby, I'll try merging it sometime this week.
09:25 gmcharlt kmlussier: I'm not at a stopping point, but I'm nearly at a good pausing point and will be by the afternoon
09:25 kmlussier gmcharlt: Fabulous. Thanks!
09:25 Dyrcona I'll keep an eye on the branch, then.
09:25 gmcharlt so, let's say at noon I'll take that branch, do a bit of squashing and commit message cleanup, and publish it as the new collab branch that'll be ready for merging

09:47 Dyrcona kmlusser: I might have to build a new branch after the rebase if you want to continue testing on my development system.
09:48 Dyrcona If that's the case, do you want to just load the sprint2-sprint3 branch, and maybe the patron editor branch?
09:53 kmlussier Dyrcona: Yes, that's fine. That's all I'm focusing on ATM
09:55 Dyrcona I could reload the database in the meantime, and probably should.
09:55 Dyrcona kmlussier: Are you looking at anything right now?
09:55 kmlussier Dyrcona: Nope
09:55 Dyrcona OK. I'll reload the database.
10:02 mmorgan left #evergreen
10:16 Dyrcona kmlussier: Would want the hotkeys branch?
10:16 Dyrcona Should be a "you" in there somewhere.
10:17 kmlussier Dyrcona: I'll probably be testing that soon after the sprint2 branch goes in, so yes.
10:17 * kmlussier checks to see if there is even a pullrequest tag on that one.
10:18 kmlussier gmcharlt: Do you want a pullrequest on bug 1508477?
10:18 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1508477 in Evergreen "browser client: hotkeys don't work if an input element has focus" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1508477
10:18 kmlussier It's worked very well in my testing on webby. Even if there is still work left to be done, it would be nice to have it in before 2.10
10:20 Dyrcona I can always add it again later.
10:21 gmcharlt kmlussier: sure
10:23 Dyrcona I just figured that I put the branch together with what's ready so I could run upgrade scripts before hand.
10:28 * Dyrcona loves the smell of fresh VMs in the morning.

11:38 gmcharlt kmlussier: hey, are you still seeing (on webby) the issue you reported in 1538697?
11:38 kmlussier bug 1538697
11:38 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1538697 in Evergreen "webclient: copy record does not save when changing stat cat entries" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1538697
11:39 kmlussier Let me check. All of my reports from last week have become one big blur
11:43 kmlussier gmcharlt: yes and no.
11:44 kmlussier gmcharlt: The other fields are now saving correctly. But the stat cat fields are either 1) not saving or 2) the saved values are not populating the selectors when I retrieve the record again.
11:44 gmcharlt kmlussier: indeed - looks like the latter
11:45 gmcharlt kmlussier: Dyrcona: also, the new branch won't be ready until later this afternoon
11:55 Dyrcona gmcharlt: OK with me.

15:32 mmorgan Now that we have prohibited negative balances (woohoo!!), any advice on how to clean up negative balances that already exist in the database?
15:34 Dyrcona No, but I'm sure that I'll be asked to do that at some point in the near future.
15:38 mmorgan I'm thinking of adding either a positive billing or negative payment that matches each negative balance, but am not sure if either of those would be the best approach.
15:38 dbs Hmm. Is it possible to split the purchase price for a given item across more than one fund?
15:48 kmlussier dbs: Not that I'm aware of. But my head isn't in acq mode at the moment, so I may be missing some clever workaround.
15:49 jeff mmorgan: positive billing of a specific type is how i'd go.
15:49 jeff mmorgan: "adjustment", whatever.
15:49 jeff i think that a negative billing is easier to explain than a negative payment.
15:50 jeff er, positive billning is easier to explain than a negative payment.
15:52 dbwells mmorgan: I agree with jeff.  A positive billing is a normal billing.  I do not think negative payments are not bad ;)
15:52 jihpringle dbs: my workaround suggestion would be enter the amount for one of the funds on the line item on the invoice and then add a direct charge for the other fund with the remainder
15:53 mmorgan jeff: dbwells: Yes, good point. I think I was coming around to that as well.
15:54 kmlussier jihpringle++
15:54 Dyrcona mmorgan: When fixing negative balances manually, our staff usually add a grocery bill to offset it.
15:54 dbs thanks jihpringle -- that's about where we were heading, but just wanted to ensure we weren't overlooking something else
15:54 mmorgan The billing side of things is less complicated than the payment side, too, so I'll probably go in that direction.
15:55 dbs Split payments seems kind of nutty in general, but who am I to judge :)
15:56 dbs My other thought was to create a new fund that represents the two parent funds (call it "English-History" or whatever) and transfer funds from the parent to the special child
15:56 mmorgan Dyrcona: We encourage adding a billing to the transaction that has the negative balance. Adding a separate grocery bill seems to make things more complicated.
15:57 Dyrcona mmorgan: OK. Maybe I misspoke. I don't really deal with that part of it. :)
15:58 Dyrcona They probably add a bill to the transaction then.
15:58 * Dyrcona isn't all here at the moment.
15:58 jeff Dyrcona's "add a grocery bill to offset" would help in cases of "this patron has patron credit and we don't want them to"
15:59 dbs jihpringle++
16:00 mmorgan Ah yes, a separate grocery bill would be useful for those cases.
