We haven't had a good version naming debate in a few years now. We're overdue. |
09:33 |
jonadab |
The only Ubuntu releases I ever used were warty and hoary. Because the Debian that was available at the time was ridiculously out of date. |
09:33 |
Dyrcona |
:) |
09:33 |
jonadab |
Then sarge came out and I haven't looked at Ubuntu since. |
09:34 |
jonadab |
kmlussier: As long as each new version number A) is strictly larger numerically and also B) sorts strictly later asciibetically than all previous version numbers, I'm good. |
09:34 |
* Dyrcona |
eyeballs Devuan. |
09:34 |
jonadab |
Dyrcona: I'm using devuan and hoping it catches on and eventually more or less entirely replaces Debian. |
09:35 |

Seems good so far but hasn't got a lot of momentum yet. |
09:35 |

Koha seems to have switched to the Ubuntu YY.MM scheme. |
09:35 |
Dyrcona |
yeah. I've been meaning to set it up on a vm and give it a spin. |
09:35 |
jonadab |
Dyrcona: That meets both of my criteria, so it'd be ok with me. |
09:36 |
jonadab |
Going to a Java-style version numbering scheme where 1.6 comes after 2 would NOT be ok with me. |
09:36 |
Dyrcona |
jonadab: Y'know that Java 2, was actually just 1.2, right? |
09:36 |
jonadab |
Dyrcona: So I've been told. |
09:37 |
jonadab |
But it was still confusing. |
09:37 |
Dyrcona |
Java 2 was just marketing hype. |
09:37 |
Dyrcona |
They (Oracle) still call it JDK 9, JDK 8. |
09:37 |

So they have split versioning going on. |

And my created database finished a few minutes ago. Time to test my eg_staged_bib_overlay script. |
09:40 |

OK. So I messed up an option, obviously. :) |

Dyrcona |
All right. I omitted --dbhost, and this gives me an opportunity to make the script more generic. |

webby avoids some of the issues by nature of it not re-using the unified volume/copy editor for a replace barcode interface, and does not suffer from the cancel button error referenced above. |

11:09 |

webby suffers from a few other issues, like a silent failure if the barcode to replace doesn't exist. |

also a silent error if the desired new barcode already exists |

So it is related to the bower/npm switchup |
17:43 |
bshum |
It's choking on "angular-order-object-by": "rxfork/ngOrderObjectBy#npm" |
17:43 |
bshum |
Maybe our aged version doesn't know what to make of that line |
17:44 |

I'll try installing a newer node and seeing what it does differently with that. |
17:48 |
* bshum |
hacks his trusty makefile to use the wheezy style for installing newer node |
17:54 |
* bshum |
waits, and waits, and keeps waiting... |
18:02 |
bshum |
Hmmmm |
18:02 |
bshum |
Yeah |
18:02 |
bshum |
Okay |
18:03 |
bshum |
So using a newer version of node helps with the problem |
18:03 |
bshum |
But I have discovered that the Makefile for Wheezy has not been updated to work with a newer version of node |
18:04 |
bshum |
It's still installing from source for version 0.10.28 |
18:04 |
bshum |
Cause that's what it still says in the Makefile.install source file |
18:04 |
bshum |
We fixed it in the eg_wheezy_installer for random repo, for the live test building |
18:04 |
bshum |
But the actual installer isn't working quite right |
18:05 |
bshum |
So we should rip all that stuff out |
18:05 |
bshum |
But yeah, Trusty also won't work without a newer node version |
18:05 |

goes to eat |

@later tell kmlussier Check out my work in progress branch: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/bshum/newer-node-for-wheezy-and-trusty |
18:42 |
pinesol_green |
bshum: The operation succeeded. |
18:42 |
bshum |
I ran those Makefile changes through a test on Trusty and ended up with newer nodejs and able to run all the npm package installs for Trusty |
18:42 |
bshum |
Same changes should apply towards Wheezy too |
18:43 |
bshum |
If it works out, we need some tweaks to the README instructions so that the Wheezy specific steps can go away and we can just stick to recommending use of the -developer make target |
18:44 |
bshum |
I think it ought to work for the debian-wheezy-developer target too. |
18:44 |
bshum |
But it's untested |
18:44 |
bshum |
I'll try more of it later on. |
18:44 |

Looking at circ policy for a library that makes a circ-duration distinction between "new" items and "replacement" items... currently they use a circ modifier on the "new" items, and while it's so tempting to use "Item Age <" in a circ policy matrix, that won't do it... |
21:08 |
jeff |
Using bib or volume age won't quite do it either. I think they're going to continue to use a circ modifier, and possibly use a report to know when to change the circ modifier to what it would "normally" be. |
21:09 |
jeff |
But again, that seems less than idea. |

Our criterion for when a "new release" three-day movie gets moved over to normal 7-day loan is, in a nutshell, when we notice that it's sitting on the shelf instead of having a hold list. |
21:22 |
jonadab |
That's an oversimplification, but it's basically mostly that. |
21:22 |
jeff |
see, that's almost something that we could automate. |
21:22 |
jonadab |
Yeah, we don't have it automated, but it theoretically could be. |
21:22 |
jonadab |
Well, except someone does have to physically remove the three-day-loan sticker. |
21:23 |
jeff |
I think that in a lot of systems, "circ modifier" doubles as a kind of item type. |
21:24 |
jeff |
So unless you have a "NEW" variant of *every* circ modifier, you can't just "make it no longer NEW", because nothing stores the "circ modifier as a kind of item type" that it should be. |
21:26 |
jeff |
And yes, physical stickers are sometimes the forgotten challenge in this kind of thing. Excellent point. :-) |
21:26 |
jeff |
We have some things that go in temporary locations until they are no longer "new". They end up with different colored dots. They don't circulate any differently, they're just housed somewhere different. |
21:27 |
jeff |
I've mused on ways to do a checkin alert once they've been in that location longer than X... "please remove dot and now this goes to a different location" kind of thing. |

jeff |
(again, very roughly simplified description) |
