08:35 Dyrcona We got rid of the evergreen-admin list didn't we?
08:37 kmlussier Dyrcona: Yes, that's my recollection
08:37 Dyrcona OK. That's what I thought.
08:38 kmlussier With metarcords, what factor determines what the lead record will be? Is it the first one that was entered in the system?
08:38 Dyrcona I asked because my folder for that somehow ended up in the wrong place, and when I tried to put it back, the IMAP server refused.
08:38 Dyrcona So, I deleted it.
08:43 * Dyrcona sings along with Weird Al: "Hip, Hip, Hooray! It's Weasel Stomping Day!"
08:44 csharp yep, evergreen-admin was a well-intentioned, but never used venue (and "one more place to check") so we killed it with community consensus
08:46 * Dyrcona is getting frustrated with "painting on cave walls" and may have to resort to the command line.
08:51 Dyrcona Snow.
08:52 Dyrcona @weather 01845
08:52 pinesol_green Dyrcona: North Andover, MA :: Overcast :: 23F/-5C | Wind Chill: 15F/-10C | Friday: Cloudy. Snow showers developing this afternoon. High around 35F. Winds NNE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 40%. Friday Night: Cloudy early with some clearing expected late. Low 22F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
08:52 csharp @snow
08:52 pinesol_green csharp: As great as you are man, you'll never be greater than yourself.
08:52 Dyrcona Well, that's a bit off. It is snowing right now.
08:53 csharp it was unexpected sleet/snow in north georgia yesterday
08:53 csharp we didn't even have time to panic! ;-)
08:53 Dyrcona heh
08:57 Dyrcona And it is accumulating....

09:20 kmlussier I really wish Launchpad would let me edit my own comments.
09:24 Dyrcona Hmm. I wonder if we should backport bug fixes that introduce new dependencies.
09:25 * Dyrcona is inclined to say, "No."
09:26 kmlussier Dyrcona: Are you referring to the patron search bug?
09:26 Dyrcona Indeed, I am.
09:26 Dyrcona I'm looking at for real right now.
09:26 Dyrcona Not that anyone here has reported it as a problem
09:26 yboston joined #evergreen
09:27 kmlussier I had initially identified it as a bug, but I've had second thoughts since then.
09:29 Dyrcona Well, I'm not disputing it could be a bug. Just wondering if we should introduce new dependencies in the middle of a series.
09:30 Dyrcona People may not run Makefile.install during an upgrade.
09:30 Dyrcona I only do so when I know I have to.
09:32 csharp Dyrcona: I would agree with "no" except in the case of a security bug
09:32 Dyrcona And I upgraded to latest master. There's apparently an attr ingest required.
09:32 mllewellyn joined #evergreen
09:34 Dyrcona csharp: Makes sense to me.
09:34 Dyrcona If it appears to work, I'll sign off on the branch, and then comment on the bug that I don't think it should be backported and why.
09:42 kmlussier Dyrcona: +1
09:43 * Dyrcona adds accents to his name, so he has something to test with.
09:43 kmlussier Dyrcona: I think there are two types of reingests required: record attribute and then another one for the new genre index.
09:44 Dyrcona So, would that be a search reingest?
09:44 Dyrcona Or facets....
09:44 Dyrcona If it's browse, I'll skip it. :)
09:45 kmlussier No, it's not browse.
09:45 Dyrcona Whatevs. I started it over with --skip-browse.
09:45 Dyrcona Should finish sometime tonight :)
09:45 krvmga joined #evergreen
09:46 Dyrcona oh.. helps to download the new client, doesn't it. :)
09:47 kmlussier I thought I saw instructions at the bottom of the upgrade script, but I'm too lazy to look for it.
09:47 kmlussier gmcharlt: Would it be worthwhile to add the reingest requirements to the Upgrade Notes section of the release notes?
09:47 Dyrcona Yeah, but I'm skipping that doing a parallel ingest. Dunno if it is sufficient.
09:47 * Dyrcona thinks it would be worthwhile.
09:48 kmlussier @marc 240
09:48 pinesol_green kmlussier: The uniform title for an item when the bibliographic description is entered under a main entry field that contains a personal (field 100), corporate (110), or meeting (111) name. [a,d,f,g,h,k,l,m,n,o,p,r,s,6,8]
09:49 csharp late in the game to have this thought, but I would totally attend a conference session on ingest/reingest and all the variants
09:49 * kmlussier can add it to her to-do list for today, but, first, needs to get a better handle on how metarecords are grouped together.
09:50 csharp why certain changes require them, possibility for a reingest-free future...
09:50 kmlussier csharp: Yes! I would love to see that session too!
09:50 * csharp stares off to the horizon with a dreamy expression
09:50 gmcharlt kmlussier: yes, it would; I'm planning to write that up next week and go into a little detail about ways to do it
09:50 kmlussier gmcharlt: Excellent!
09:51 kmlussier gmcharlt++
09:51 Dyrcona Oof.. The ingest is making things be very sloooowww.....
09:51 Dyrcona S'pose I could skip it for now.
09:56 Dyrcona I can't edit myself...That's right....
09:58 Dyrcona Interesting... If I search with or without the accented character, I get the same results.
09:59 Dyrcona Is that the desired behavior?
10:00 kmlussier I'm learning towards 'yes'.
10:00 kmlussier Because I would never search a name with an accent.
10:00 Dyrcona OK. I just wondered.
10:00 kmlussier And if it was entered with an accent, I would want it to be found.
10:01 Dyrcona Without the patch, the accent finds nothing before I change a patron's name.
10:02 kmlussier Re-reading the original description on the bug report, it seems like that's the intended behavior. Make it more tolerant.
10:02 Dyrcona Too many staff clients open.... :)
10:02 Dyrcona OK, fine with me.
10:02 jvwoolf joined #evergreen
10:04 Dyrcona My name turns out to be a good one to use for testing, because we have about 35 patrons with the same last name.
10:07 Dyrcona There aren't any tests on that branch.
10:07 Dyrcona So, it needs another signoff anyway.

10:26 Dyrcona csharp: Should lp 1533331 be targeted at 2.9.3?
10:26 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1533331 in Evergreen "evergreen.protect_reserved_rows_from_delete() trigger function returning error" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1533331 - Assigned to Chris Sharp (chrissharp123)
10:26 lualaba_ Hello we have small issues here. when import records from z39.50 staff client show alarm: "This tab may have unsaved data. Replace it anyway?"
10:27 lualaba_ can somehow fixed this issu?
10:28 Dyrcona ugh... I keep making typos.
10:29 Dyrcona lualaba_: I'm not sure that I can help you with that one. I do think there are/were bugs that some views would do that when they shouldn't. Some were fixed, but maybe not all.
10:31 lualaba_ but everything stored in DB just we have alarm
10:31 lualaba_ if someone know solution will be great
10:33 Dyrcona lualaba_: Sounds like lp 1531953. So, there is no solution at the moment.

10:35 Dyrcona csharp: While looking into the bug that I asked you about above, I found a worse error.
10:35 Dyrcona I can add the new cancel reason, but the check boxes are all inactive.
10:36 Dyrcona lualaba__: Did you see the bug that I mentioned to you above?

10:40 Dyrcona That isn't fixed.
10:41 lualaba__ they problem only popup or something will be wrong in DB?
10:42 sandbergja joined #evergreen
10:42 Dyrcona Sounds like only the pop up is the problem.
10:43 Dyrcona The DB should be OK if you did actually save.
10:44 jlundgren_ joined #evergreen
10:44 lualaba__ thats no problem just popip thank you
10:44 mmorgan lualaba__: It's just a pop up issue.  Here is a related bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1491875
10:44 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1491875 in Evergreen "Erroneous "Tab may have unsaved data" message when creating new MARC record" [Undecided,New]
10:44 csharp Dyrcona: in my testing, the newly created reason is "checkable" - the ones that are inactive have ids < 2000
10:44 Dyrcona you click the exclamation point next to "Does this bug affect you?" and that might help it get more attention for a fix.
10:44 mmorgan These two bugs may actually be the same issue
10:45 Dyrcona csharp: I can't check anything, not even the new one.
10:45 csharp hmm - I'll try again after I get done testing dbwells's branch for bug 1528627
10:45 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1528627 in Evergreen "Feature Request: Evergreen "su/sudo" functionality" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1528627
10:46 Dyrcona Switch User is not good enough, eh? :)
10:47 csharp :-)
10:48 dbs As long as we don't have to integrate Susudio
10:48 Dyrcona heh
10:49 Dyrcona We could borrow doas from OpenBSD. It's described as sudo-lite.
10:49 * Dyrcona hasn't used it, yet. Needs to upgrade but never makes the time.
10:52 Dyrcona csharp: I tried adding two more: 1 at my work ou and #2 at my home ou.
10:53 Dyrcona Can't check the box next to either of those.
10:54 Christineb joined #evergreen
10:54 Dyrcona csharp: I just noticed something. My new ones are getting ids in the 1600 range.
10:55 * Dyrcona wonders if something is missing in an upgrade script to boot.
10:57 Dyrcona 9s to update 3 rows. :)
10:58 yboston remingtron++  for your help with the DIG meeting wiki page
11:01 Dyrcona And, now, the Delete Selected button appears to do nothing, but I think that's the bug.
11:02 vlewis joined #evergreen
11:02 csharp Dyrcona: correct - if you select one with an ID > 2000 and click delete, it appears to work, but it returns to the list with a reload
11:03 Dyrcona csharp: It's not doing that for me. They stay checked and don't go away. I'll try just one.
11:03 csharp hmm
11:03 * csharp is in apt hell on his dev box because of installing PG 9.4 there
11:04 Dyrcona I get the same result with just one. I do see the same messages in the logs, though.

11:54 kmlussier hmm...do we need to backport to 2.10 or are merges to master automatically going into 2.10? I forget when that happens.
11:56 kmlussier nm Answered my own question
12:03 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:09 * kmlussier has done all the bug squashing she can do for now and needs to get back to her real job.
12:10 kmlussier Maybe I'll have a chance to look at some signedoff bugs at day's end.
12:26 Stompro Question, should sql upgrade scripts use oils_il8n_gettext?  I see examples of both using it and not using it for upgrades?
12:28 tsbere Stompro: That likely depends on what the upgrade script is doing
12:29 Stompro Here is an update that uses it http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen​.git;a=blob;f=Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/upgrade​/0180.data.acq.cancel-reasons.sql;hb=HEAD (although it looks to me like it should be used twice, once for the label and once for the description).
12:30 bshum 0180?  Yeah don't rewind time.
12:31 Stompro tsbere, for inserting values into tables like acq.cancel_reason or new permissions.
12:40 Stompro bshum, I was just looking for updates that inserted into acq.cancel_time, that was one example that came up.
12:53 Dyrcona Stompro: Upgrade scripts probably should use oils_i18n_gettext.
12:53 Dyrcona How's that for a definite answer? ;)
13:00 Dyrcona Stompro:  A more complete answer is that the i18n stuff is not run during an upgrade, so omitting the oils_i18n_gettext from the upgrade script is mostly harmless.
13:00 Dyrcona i18n does happen at db creation so the schema files need the oils_i18n_gettext calls.
13:01 Dyrcona I often copy and past code from one to the other when doing my development, so if I forget it one place, I usually forget it in the other.
13:02 Dyrcona paste, even.
13:02 Dyrcona Having the gettext in the upgrade script is also harmless.
13:04 Dyrcona hmm... I need to check again what happens with a major version upgrade via tarball.
13:33 Stompro Dyrcona, does that mean that if I'm using the czech locale, and perform an upgrade from one version to another, that any strings in sql upgrades that would get translated on a new install, won't be translated?
13:34 * tsbere believes that the entire oils_i18n_gettext construct is so that the translation tools can extract the strings and has no actual bearing otherwise
13:35 tsbere As evidence of that, I will point out that the function in the DB does nothing more than return the second argument. Other code translates things later.
13:36 dbs tsbere is correct
13:36 tsbere Stompro: What the above means is that everything (outside of the translation tables) goes into the DB in English, but then you can load the appropriate translations in later
13:37 dbs I was going to mention that, but given Dyrcona's simple "probably should" answer I didn't want to muddy the waters.
13:39 Dyrcona Yeah. I guess I wan't 'splainin' so good.
13:40 Dyrcona Stompro: To answer your question about the Czech locale, you'll get the translations that are available in the upgrade.
13:40 Dyrcona We only do the translation updates for major upgrades in tarballs.
13:41 Dyrcona But, you can always do the steps yourself at any time.
13:47 Stompro Thanks for explaining it, I think I get it now.  Dyrcona++ tsbere++ dbs++
13:49 JBoyer Dyrcona: do you have time for a quick Q re: z39.50 and holdings?
13:50 JBoyer (I don't want to wreck any bug squashing day work, especially since I'm not taking part. :( )
13:54 Dyrcona JBoyer: I'm not sure I can answer a question about z39.50 and holdings, but ask away.
13:55 JBoyer The issue is I'm not sure how to configure our Z server to show who has holdings on the records returned, or if that's possible. I was starting to dig through some yaz docs, but since you're already part of a shareit installation I thought I'd just ask how you set it up
13:57 JBoyer And I asked at a poor time, I have to head out for a phone meeting. :-/
14:00 JBoyer \me can't calendar. Meeting is at 2:30
14:00 * JBoyer can't either
14:00 Dyrcona JBoyer: In the zurl in oils_z39_50.xml add /holdings after the DB name.
14:01 Dyrcona Here's an example: http://jasondev.mvlcstaff.org/​opac/extras/sru/MVLC/holdings
14:02 JBoyer Oh. I'm glad I asked then, because I was expecting to change something in one of the <retrieval> tags or something like that.
14:02 JBoyer :Q
14:03 Dyrcona I'm glad you asked, too. I thought you'd have a trickier question. :)
14:04 JBoyer At this rate it'll probably be at least a month before I have a tricky question, we're barely starting setup right now.

14:11 * kmlussier is having trouble keeping up with Terran on the Bug Squashing stats
14:12 Dyrcona :)
14:14 kmlussier I have to say, I do like people who have a habit of writing LP comments that say "I agree with Kathy"
14:14 * kmlussier should add that as a column to the Bug Squashing spreadsheet.
14:15 terran Happy to oblige, Kathy!
14:16 kmlussier terran++
14:16 terran Can someone point me to where the contents of the "Template Macros" pop-up windows that are called from the receipt template editor in the client are stored?
14:17 mmorgan Maybe "I agree with Kathy" should be an official Launchpad bug tag :)
14:19 bshum Go #TeamKathy
14:19 terran I should at least make myself a little macro so I can just paste it in rather than retyping it each time like a sucker.
14:20 bshum terran: Muscle memory, you're getting there slowly.
14:20 bshum Think of it like the loading bars in Evergreen.
14:20 bshum Loading, 25%
14:24 tsbere terran: Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/server/c​irc/print_list_template_editor.js
14:25 tsbere terran: Yes, they are stored in javascript. You will want to search for 'macros' including the single quotes for the code block you want, I think.

14:46 gmcharlt specifically, I move that ə be formally adopted as a letter of the English alphabet
14:46 gmcharlt that way, I will no longer be tripped up with "persistent" vs. "persistant"
14:46 gmcharlt can I have a second?
14:48 Dyrcona əm, ok.
14:49 gmcharlt Dyrcona++
14:49 * Dyrcona bows. :)
14:49 gmcharlt @quote add <Dyrcona> əm, ok.
14:49 pinesol_green gmcharlt: The operation succeeded.  Quote #144 added.
14:50 * Dyrcona hunts for an IPA keyboard.
14:59 gmcharlt hmm, I wonder if we could find a small town that we could convince to rename themselves to, literally, "Your City Here"?
15:02 Dyrcona :)
15:02 EricGAC not sure what else to do. osrf_control commands work just fine but when i run autogen.sh under opensrf it errors out when trying to create the files because it cant find the files
15:05 csharp EricGAC: can you pastebin what you're seeing on the screen?
15:06 EricGAC http://pastebin.com/33NsA5uN
15:07 Dyrcona EricGAC: Your make blew up at some point. How did you configure this? config.log in the Evergreen source directory should tell you.
15:18 Dyrcona EricGAC: Also, your osrf_control command is not working fine. Some of the services will not start without the IDL.
15:18 Dyrcona osrf_control --diagnostic will tell you what is broken.

16:09 kmlussier Bmagic++
16:09 Bmagic karma party!
16:09 Dyrcona terran++ kmlussier++
16:09 Bmagic terran: I waited to long to get into Code4Lib this year, so sadly, they wont let me attend
16:11 berick terran: i'll be there
16:14 terran berick: excellent, see you there!
16:15 terran bmagic: Drat. My first time going to this one, so I'm looking forward to it.
16:16 Bmagic terran: I went in 2014, it was exciting! I loved learning what everyone was doing. Some good innovation happening there
16:19 csharp Bmagic: sorry - we'll miss you there
16:20 Bmagic csharp: I KNOW!!  I can't believe I am going to miss it again. I gotta get on the ball next year. I was watching it and waiting for the dates to be released, and I checked back, it was sold out!! Must have been a small window
16:21 terran bmagic: Yes, I think it was sold out the same day.

16:23 * kmlussier needs to attend code4lib someday
16:24 Bmagic csharp: terran: but on the plus side, I will see you at EG in NC!
16:28 terran bmagic: excellent!
16:28 csharp Bmagic: rock on
16:37 jlitrell I woke up in the middle of the night with a total noob Q, but can't find it anywhere... do we have a minimum Perl version?
16:38 jlitrell I'm sure it's somewhere obvious and I'll say "oh, duh."  :)
16:38 tsbere jlitrell: Whatever it installed with the oldest OS we support? >_>
16:38 tsbere er, is installed. Meh.
16:38 jlitrell I'm just thinking about //=, which is like... 5.10?  Can't remember.
16:40 jlitrell Surely nobody's running that, right?
16:40 * jlitrell laughs hysterically and starts weeping
16:41 dbwells We ran 5.10 until Ubuntu 10.04 went EOL last year.  Never had a problem compatibility-wise.  If you're feature is in Perl 5.10, I imagine you are safe.
16:47 dbwells On the other hand, you might get some "old-timers" (like me) looking cross-eyed at your new-fangled operator, so try to weigh the pros and cons :)
16:48 jlitrell Coming up on the 10-year anniversary for that one.  :-P
16:48 gmcharlt *cough*smart match*cough*
16:48 Dyrcona heh.
16:49 jlitrell It was a nice idea!
16:51 * Dyrcona remembers being discouraged from using smart match at one point.
16:52 jlitrell It got deprecated in... .18?
16:52 gmcharlt yeah
16:53 dbwells Anyone in here to answer a confusing acq questions at this late Friday hour?  We've entered a state where a staff member received and invoiced items from a PO that was never activated, and now everything is a bit askew.
16:55 dbwells Tried removing from invoice and unreceiving, but no matter what I'm not getting any fund debits for these (i.e. the summary says "0 Invoiced").
16:55 * Dyrcona is signing off.
16:55 berick dbwells: is the PO still un-activated?
16:55 dbwells no, it's activated now
16:56 dbwells but it was activated while these items were in that state.
16:56 * dbwells is pretty green with the acq stuff
16:57 dbwells I don't see an obvious way to un-activate, if that's even possible.
16:58 berick it's not.  well, not via the UI anyway
16:58 berick you'd have to clear the order_date on the PO and delete the related fund_debits to de-activate
17:01 dbwells We've got 147 things received with no fund_debit.  Is it correct to say that shouldn't happen for normal cases?
17:05 dbwells berick: It seems simpler at this point to just create the missing fund_debits in the DB.  Is that going to make things out of sync in some other way and make things worse, or should that be pretty safe?
17:06 berick dbwells: hm, if the debits aren't there, seems like setting order_date to NULL and re-actiting would be even easier, or am I missing something?
17:06 berick re-activating
17:08 berick assuming no parts of the PO are still attached to any invoices...  sounds like you detached those already, though.
17:08 dbwells half the debits are there for the stuff on the PO which hadn't been received/invoiced when the order was activated.
17:08 dbwells The other half is still attached to invoices.
17:09 berick ah, ok
17:09 berick in that case you're probably right, creating the debits by hand may be simplest
17:10 berick i can't think of any reason why that would cause problems.
17:10 berick hm, but they'll have to be re-invoiced
17:10 berick well, dang
17:10 berick i'm getting msyelf confused now
17:12 berick i guess if you create the debits for the invoiced items and set encumbrance=false, it will be the same end result
17:12 dbwells I was considering creating the debits using the invoice prices and 'encumbrance' set to false.
17:12 berick jinx
17:13 dbwells Well, here's hoping.  I don't think I'll be too much worse off giving it a try.  Thanks, berick!
