09:04 pinesol_green remingtron: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
09:04 pinesol_green Factoid 'thank you!' not found
09:04 remingtron kmlussier: thanks for poking pinesol_green !
09:04 remingtron I've always wanted random coffee :)
09:06 kmlussier remingtron: pinesol_green seems to have a fondness for Calvin College today.

10:28 rhamby @quote
10:28 pinesol_green rhamby: I see nothing, I know nothing!
10:28 rhamby I think I got that in a fortune cookie once.
10:32 kmlussier @quote random
10:32 pinesol_green kmlussier: Quote #72: "<RoganH> gmcharlt: just because it got warmer in Niflheimr doesn't mean you're in Vanaheimr yet." (added by gmcharlt at 10:27 AM, January 07, 2014)
10:35 rhamby I liked that one.  I think I even got a reasonably accurate spelling in on Niflheimr (given different character sets and all that.)

11:36 jeff I noticed the other day that docs.evergreen-ils.org doesn't seem to have some recent point release release notes. I don't remember if I verified that they were actually in git, though...
11:37 jeff But is anyone in DIG aware of how the docs site updates, on what schedule and from which branches?
11:37 * tsbere would not be surprised if some of it was "when X tells it to update"
11:37 kmlussier jeff: It gets updated at least once a day overnight. But it may have been increased to twice a day.
11:38 tsbere huh
11:38 * tsbere also would not be surprised if the lack of release notes was "someone forgot to list them in the proper file" ;)
11:39 kmlussier http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/dev/ is updated from the master branch, http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.10/ is updated from rel_2_10 and so on.
11:41 kmlussier Huh, it appears that the 2.9 docs and dev docs have recent point release notes, but 2.10 docs do not.
11:41 jeff from a quick look, it seems that master and rel_2_10 both have release notes for Evergreen 2.10.5, but they do not appear in http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.10/
11:42 jeff that url claims Last-Modified: Fri, 06 May 2016 12:55:13 GMT
11:43 jeff (in the http headers)
11:43 jeff as opposed to the dev and 2.9 urls that both claim a date today.
11:44 jeff so, if someone has access or contact info to see what's up -- or feel free to point me in another direction. :-)
11:46 kmlussier Robert Soulliere is the person who runs the docs server
11:50 jeff And he's the only one who has access? I can drop him an email.
11:51 bmills joined #evergreen
11:51 kmlussier I believe so. yboston would know if anyone else has access, but I think it's just Robert.
11:54 jeff emailed.
11:55 kmlussier jeff++
11:59 Dyrcona That should probably change.
11:59 * Dyrcona runs off for lunch.

12:34 dbs so... ubuntu 16.04 these days?
12:35 dbs http://evergreen-ils.org/egdownloads/ says "For Ubuntu, please use the latest 64-bit LTS (long term support) Server release." so I guess yes
12:42 bshum dbs: 16.04 support was added to master for next 2.11
12:42 bshum But we hadn't discussed backporting it, since 16.04 added lots of new stuff like PG 9.5
12:42 bshum The language on the page could be more concise I suppose.
12:42 bshum But hey master will work :D
12:43 bshum In theory.
12:45 JBoyer Theory and Practice meet at a fork in the road. SIGSEGV.
12:46 JBoyer (not actually commenting on 16.04 viability)
12:46 dbs hrm, so should we say "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS" explicitly then, until 2.11 rolls in?
12:47 dbs (FWIW I was pondering 16.04 for the application server, not for PG server because I know 9.5 has its quirks)
12:55 bshum dbs: I imagine that would work for app server vs. DB
12:55 bshum And sure that language sounds more accurate
12:56 dbs I guess we don't use the Evergreen_Website repo any more? http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen_Website.git;a=summary
12:56 * dbs is way out of the loop!
12:56 dbs thanks bshum
12:57 bshum dbs: Right it got moved to Wordpress several years ago
12:58 dbs hah
12:58 * tsbere personally wonders why we downgraded ;)
12:59 jeff easier to edit, no more revision control or history.
12:59 jeff tradeoffs. :-)
12:59 bshum dbs: You are an admin in Wordpress
12:59 tsbere jeff: I will disagree with "easier to edit" on that list. :P
13:00 * bshum shrugs
13:00 * dbs finds wp login credentials, yayz
13:03 kmlussier Easier for more end users to edit.
13:05 dbs WP has revision control and history for pages. Like, for example, if you don't like what I did with version 1.30 of https://evergreen-ils.org/egdownloads you can revert to 1.28 :)
13:05 bshum I might revise that to say "initial support" since only the crazy people have been testing Xenial :D
13:06 dbs sure
13:06 bshum dbs++
13:06 dbs But hey, the Venn diagram showing "crazy people" and "active supporters" shows pretty much a complete overlap, so
13:07 * bshum also feels wobbly about PG 9.5 being named, since the community dev group only *just* voted to use PG 9.3 as baseline
13:07 bshum But I'm adventurous and loving of new Postgres things
13:07 bshum :D
13:09 * kmlussier is reluctant to make suggestions, because there's a fine line between suggesting and volunteering, but...
13:09 dbs The most conservative route would just be to say "Use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit.", and I would be fine with that too
13:10 kmlussier Would it make sense to add something a recommended PG release or Linux distribution release for each Evergreen release?
13:10 dbs kmlussier: we used to do that :)
13:10 kmlussier dbs: I'm sure there was a good reason why you stopped doing it. :)
13:10 bshum Right there used to be a wiki page with all that stuff on it.  Anoop and I got tired of trying out every combination :)
13:11 rhamby Can we add something to stop the infrequent (but recurring) question of "I can run it on Windows, right?" :-p
13:12 kmlussier No. It doesn't matter what you put on that page, the question will inevitably come up.
13:12 dbs kmlussier++
13:12 dbs No I read what you wrote there but I mean really how do I run it on windows
13:22 dbs I've taken out the statement of future support to simplify things.
13:40 csharp we should probably start recommending/expecting people use the postgresql APT repos so we aren't dependent on the distro-specific versions
13:41 csharp that way we could move to 16.04 without all the caveats
13:43 Callender joined #evergreen
14:13 * Dyrcona is late to the party, as usual, but  I'd like to add a comment about 16.04.
14:13 Dyrcona That is that Canonical doesn't recommend using the latest LTS in production until the .1 release which comes out in July.
14:15 bshum Dyrcona: Smart tip then, they're like us, the .1 is better :)
14:15 bshum Or we're like them? Hmm..
14:15 Dyrcona I'm NOT planning on backporting support for 16.04 to 2.9.
14:16 Dyrcona Well the .1 is almost always better because bug fixes. :)
14:17 kmlussier .5 is pretty awesome
14:18 Dyrcona While on the subject of Ubuntu releases, we're also supposed to remove support for 12.04 in 2.11, and bshum has posted branches for both OpenSRF and Evergreen.
14:18 Dyrcona kmlussier: .8 is always the best. ;)
14:18 * Dyrcona remembers 2.0.11..... ;)

16:05 bshum @praise gmcharlt
16:05 * pinesol_green gmcharlt is one of the few who deserves to be praised
16:05 bshum Doh, not the newbie one :)
16:06 gmcharlt nah, pinesol_green, lots of folks deserve praise
16:06 bshum @praise 2 gmcharlt
16:06 * pinesol_green gmcharlt is kind and patient to newbies
16:10 Dyrcona The question makes me wonder if they installed OpenSRF already.
16:10 Dyrcona I suspect there will be a follow up email in a short while.
16:12 gmcharlt Dyrcona: I will not best against you there :)
16:12 gmcharlt *bet
16:34 JBoyer gmcharlt, time for me to vanish in a puff of smoke, but I wanted to send a gentle nudge re: my sec team email just in case it was lost amongst the shuffle. I forgot I was sending it during an extremely busy week. :)
16:34 * gmcharlt blames ALA
16:35 Dyrcona @blame ALA
16:35 pinesol_green Dyrcona: ALA must eat cottage cheese!
16:35 * gmcharlt now also blames ALA for eating my cottage cheese
16:42 kmlussier I figure I can blame ALA for all the things I don't get to over the next month.
