08:44 Dyrcona Y'know. It would be useful if the OPAC had some kind of one-time notification feature where an important message could pop up to notify users of something important, such as a change in service, etc. I know there is the maintenance message, but I'm thinking of something more dynamic and possibly location specific.

09:07 rhamby I can certainly see the use for that.  "Hey folks we may be closing for inclement weather tomorrow, we will post something on the website as soon as we know."  etc...

09:40 bshum Dyrcona: I think there was thought to add more messages, like https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1801999
09:40 pinesol Launchpad bug 1801999 in Evergreen "Additional Alert Message for Public Catalog" [Wishlist,New]
09:41 Dyrcona bshum: Thanks for the reminder. I agree with Terran's comment on that bug, though I actually was thinking of a new admin interface for this.
09:42 bshum Right, it is nice to consider
09:42 cmalm joined #evergreen
09:44 Dyrcona I also imagined the UI popping up a dialog or something that would go away and not show for that user again. Also would be nice to give the messages start and end dates.
09:47 Dyrcona Guess that would require new permissions, too.... "This'll run into money." :)

15:09 csharp anyone have updates on OpenSRF releases?
15:10 csharp looks like we haven't had any new commits since 3.2.0 was release

15:11 csharp #topic Evergreen release info
15:11 Topic for #evergreen is now Evergreen release info (Meeting topic: 2020-02-04 Developer Meeting)
15:11 csharp we saw point releases for 3.3 and 3.4 two weeks ago
15:12 sandbergja I have a release-related question
15:12 csharp eg builder team deserves our thanks, particularly Dyrcona and Bmagic, who performed the builds
15:12 sandbergja I am wondering how we can incorporate Angular i18n and poeditor.com into the release process.  Is this something simple that the build team could do?  Or a project for during the conference?  Or something longer term?
15:12 terranm Dyrcona++ and Bmagic++
15:12 sandbergja Dyrcona++
15:12 sandbergja Bmagic++
15:12 berick sandbergja: i was just thinking about that yesterday...  needs some revisiting for usre
15:12 berick release_team++ # big time
15:13 sandbergja As we get more and more Angular interfaces, fewer and fewer of the interfaces are actually available in localized versions
15:13 sandbergja :-(
15:14 berick right.  and one month out from 3.5 beta, we need to get the strings exposed for translation
15:14 csharp #info we need to address i18n and l10n issues with Angular as fewer and fewer interfaces are available in localized versions
15:15 berick i'll follow up on that.  i'm rusty on the poeditor stuff
15:15 sandbergja berick++
15:15 csharp #info 3.3.6 and 3.4.2 were released 1/29/2020 - first releases of the year
15:16 berick exporting the strings is simple enough.  just need to finalize the work flow for translators
15:16 csharp #action berick will follow up on i18n/l10n issues and report back
15:16 sandbergja If I can help with that at all, berick, let me know!
15:16 berick will do, thanks sandbergja
15:16 csharp #action sandbergja will assist berick as needed
15:16 csharp ok, so 3.5...
15:17 terranm I'm also happy to help with that if I have some direction
15:17 * dbwells tries to remember his poeditor.com password...
15:17 alynn26 #info alynn26 = Lynn Floyd, Indiana
15:17 csharp I believe we have 60 or so bugs targeted for 3.5-alpha
15:18 csharp 41 have pullrequests and 8 have signoffs
15:18 csharp #info about 60 bugs targeted for 3.5-alpha - 41 with pullrequest tags and 8 with signedoff tags
15:19 berick on that note, calling all code reviewers and committers for feedback fest in 2 weeks.
15:19 csharp what are the specific dates for that for the minutes/logs?
15:19 csharp terranm?
15:19 berick 2/17 -> 2/21
15:19 csharp ok cool
15:20 terranm What Bill said
15:20 * berick notes 2/17 may be a holiday for some
15:20 terranm If we can get a bunch of those pullrequests on some sandboxes, the New Developers Group should be able to test a good chunk of them
15:20 csharp # feedback fest scheduled for the week of 2/17 - 2/22 - code reviewers and committers are expected to participate
15:20 csharp #info feedback fest scheduled for the week of 2/17 - 2/22 - code reviewers and committers are expected to participate
15:20 * csharp will get the hang of it
15:21 sandbergja terranm: would it help if we reserved some bugs specifically for the new devs group?
15:21 sandbergja e.g. some that are simpler, or some that match particular interests of your members?
15:22 terranm Anything that is testable without having access to the back end / logs is good
15:22 terranm Actually getting them installed on a sandbox is the main hurdle
15:23 csharp we can make at least one master server available if that's helpful
15:23 terranm csharp++
15:23 alynn26 csharp++
15:23 csharp #action csharp will work with terranm to get at least one sandbox server running master + pullrequest patches
15:24 csharp any particular 3.5-targeted features that need special attention?
15:25 jeffdavis filters... let me look at bug #s
15:25 csharp we have the OpenAthens integration feature running on PINES production and have applied a couple of patches since to address flaws that only showed up post-deployment
15:25 csharp https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1842297 (for the logs)
15:26 pinesol Launchpad bug 1842297 in Evergreen "OpenAthens integration" [Wishlist,Confirmed]
15:26 jeffdavis that's great!
15:26 csharp while we can verify it's running peacefully on PINES, we don't yet know if the core feature of providing auth to other services works
15:27 csharp libraries are in the process of migration (coordinated by GALILEO, our sibling agency)
15:28 csharp any other features anyone wants to highlight/mention?
15:28 * berick checks the roadmap
15:28 terranm It'd be nice to get Hopeless Holds finished: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1811710
15:28 pinesol Launchpad bug 1811710 in Evergreen "wishlist: Improvements to Hopeless Holds" [Wishlist,Confirmed]
15:29 csharp #info 3.5 roadmap: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku​.php?id=faqs:evergreen_roadmap:3.5
15:29 terranm All 5 of the circ ones are really good improvements
15:29 jeffdavis bug 1846042 could also use some love, although I'd class it as a regression/bugfix rather than a feature request
15:29 pinesol Launchpad bug 1846042 in Evergreen 3.3 "Angular admin pages need filters" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1846042
15:31 csharp #info request for attention for Hopeless Holds (https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1811710) and Angular admin page filters (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1846042)
15:31 pinesol Launchpad bug 1811710 in Evergreen "wishlist: Improvements to Hopeless Holds" [Wishlist,Confirmed]
15:31 pinesol Launchpad bug 1846042 in Evergreen 3.3 "Angular admin pages need filters" [High,Confirmed]
15:31 berick jeffdavis: for the grid filters, UX/Usability are the main concerns at this point?
15:32 sandbergja jeffdavis: I wonder if this commit might help with the cluttering filter issue: https://github.com/evergreen-libra​ry-system/Evergreen/commit/9077cbc​427d544b25c932b51591126e4a2b2bead
15:32 pinesol sandbergja: [evergreen|Galen Charlton] LP#1855931: (follow-up) make grid filter control cells wrap as well - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=9077cbc>
15:32 jeffdavis berick: yes, I think so
15:32 jeffdavis ah, I was trying to find that follow-up bug
15:32 sandbergja (just musing, I have not tested a rebased version of gmcharlt's branch for 1846042)
15:33 terranm PINES has this one in production and it seems to be working well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1570072  - I'm not sure if anyone else from ECDI has seen any issues with testing
15:33 pinesol Launchpad bug 1570072 in Evergreen "Hold request update notification preferences on change" [Wishlist,Confirmed]
15:34 jeffdavis terranm: do you want that targeted for 3.5? Currently it's 3.next
15:34 csharp ECDI = Evergreen Community Development Initiative for those who don't know
15:34 Bmagic do we have a list of bugs for the feedback fest?
15:35 remingtron csharp: thanks for translating
15:35 terranm jeffdavis: Since we already have it in production, I don't have any preference which it's targeted to
15:35 csharp jeffdavis: makes sense to me
15:35 terranm Bmagic: not yet - I'll take a look through the pullrequests. Maybe we can put some on your sandbox and some on one of ours.
15:35 jeffdavis Ha, fair enough. I've retargeted it.
15:36 csharp jeffdavis++
15:36 terranm jeffdavis++ :)\
15:36 terranm I mean, :)
15:37 csharp ok, unless there's more to talk about 3.5, let's move to Hatch
15:37 Bmagic also - getting into launchpad fu - do we have a guideline for how we target bugs, etc? When the milestone needs to change and whatnot?
15:38 csharp Bmagic: I don't know of specific documentation on that, but I can see it would be helpful
15:38 Bmagic word
15:38 berick Bmagic: any specific questions?
15:39 Bmagic I thought of it when thinking about a recent patch bug 1849736
15:39 pinesol Launchpad bug 1849736 in Evergreen "Add action trigger for email/sms for patron self registration" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1849736
15:39 csharp #info there is a need for documentation around bug wrangling guidelines - specifically release/milestone/series targeting
15:40 remingtron Bmagic: There's a wiki page about some of it: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/d​oku.php?id=dev:bug_wrangler:faq
15:40 csharp remingtron++
15:40 Bmagic Not sure I did the right thing with LP
15:40 Bmagic remingtron++
15:40 csharp #info and like a magician, remingtron provided a wiki link: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/d​oku.php?id=dev:bug_wrangler:faq
15:40 Bmagic magician++
15:41 berick Bmagic: bug looks fine.  new features should target 3.5-alpha until it's cut
15:41 csharp RMs and other wranglers will untarget/retarget bugs as needed when the cut comes
15:42 csharp #topic Hatch
15:42 Topic for #evergreen is now Hatch (Meeting topic: 2020-02-04 Developer Meeting)
15:42 csharp any updates on that? - we saw an omnibus bug come through recently
15:42 berick I opened Hatch bug #1860187 recently
15:42 pinesol Launchpad bug 1860187 in Evergreen "Hatch Windows installer creates properties files with limited read access" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1860187
15:42 berick and we're tesing it locally
15:43 csharp we've seen some trouble in PINES with Hatch running on 32-bit systems, but we've disavowed Windows 7 support and the libraries have Windows 10 64-bit available to them
15:43 csharp so we didn't dig much on that
15:44 Bmagic I've seen that with 0.3.2 because it ships it's own jre - 64 only?
15:44 berick with hatch 0.3.2, 32-bit is not supported...
15:44 berick right
15:45 csharp ok - good to know
15:45 blongwel joined #evergreen
15:45 csharp again, probably not a real problem since people need to stop using EOL systems :-)
15:45 terranm There are 32-bit Windows 10 systems out there, though - at the very least, it should be mentioned on the downloads page / installation instructions
15:46 csharp ok, on to new business...
15:46 Bmagic csharp: been there as well and I've gone as far as replacing the alrady-installed (C:\Program File (x86)s\Hatch\java-*) folders with the 32 bit counter parts - I don't recommend it :)
15:46 csharp Bmagic: heh
15:46 terranm Bmagic: ew!
15:46 csharp #topic Feedback for New Features Under Development
15:46 Topic for #evergreen is now Feedback for New Features Under Development (Meeting topic: 2020-02-04 Developer Meeting)
15:47 csharp looks like berick has at least one item there
15:47 sandbergja I put the promise-related one there
15:47 berick i believe sandbergja goes...
15:48 sandbergja This grew out of conversations about bug 1821094
15:48 pinesol Launchpad bug 1821094 in Evergreen 3.3 "Item status refresh after editing can get confusingly slow" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1821094
15:48 sandbergja gmcharlt suggested that -- in cases where we need to do a bunch of requests -- we batch those requests
15:49 sandbergja So we don't totally slow down everything for the user with sequential requests
15:49 sandbergja But don't clobber the server with simultaneous requests
15:49 sandbergja jeffdavis mentioned that this should be an approach that we take not just in Item Status, but throughout the Web client
15:50 berick sandbergja: your promise batching code looks sane.  i have not kept up with the bug... does that solve the issue in your tests?
15:50 sandbergja It does
15:50 sandbergja But all my tests have been on a little VM on my laptop
15:51 sandbergja So I'd really appreciate more help testing the specific case in bug 1821094
15:51 pinesol Launchpad bug 1821094 in Evergreen 3.3 "Item status refresh after editing can get confusingly slow" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1821094
15:51 sandbergja And also some discussion about whether we want to batch the promise resolving in other places in the AngularJS client
15:51 sandbergja Here's the specific commit: https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=work​ing/Evergreen.git;a=commitdiff;h=7517​6bca0ce8051a6dd4ba56f5613bce75901f09
15:52 csharp sandbergja: we can test it on a PINES server with realistic data/specs
15:52 sandbergja charp++
15:52 sandbergja That would be really helpful!
15:52 csharp #action csharp will arrange testing for sandbergja's fix to https://launchpad.net/bugs/1821094 on a realistic test server
15:52 pinesol Launchpad bug 1821094 in Evergreen 3.3 "Item status refresh after editing can get confusingly slow" [Medium,Confirmed]
15:53 berick i think that's a good tool to have in our toolbox.  I also think devs should consider the option of creating UI specific APIs for new interfaces.
15:53 berick batching some of the exising angjs stuff seems like it would be helpful
15:53 sandbergja berick: UI-specific APIs seem like they would be helpful for the AngJS->Angular transition
15:54 csharp heads up: I have kind of a hard stop at 4:00 - gotta pick up a kid
15:54 berick sandbergja: indeed
15:54 sandbergja Okay, I can be done with my item!
15:54 sandbergja Thanks, all!
15:54 berick sandbergja: but I also wouldn't want to cause too much disruption to the existing andjs code just to prep for angular.
15:55 csharp but if someone wants to take over and follow https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/do​ku.php?id=community:using-meetbot and the agenda https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/do​ku.php?id=dev:meetings:2020-02-04 you don't have to rush :-)
15:55 sandbergja that makes sense
15:56 csharp okay, so "needsdiscussion" tag was mentioned - anyone want to champion that cause?
15:57 * csharp can probably let his son wait a bit, so is willing to go past 4:00 EST if needed
15:57 berick who added that agenda item?
15:58 * csharp grumbles $deity knows I've waited for him enough
15:58 berick heh
15:58 csharp oh - hmm - looks like that comes free with the agenda boilerplate
15:59 berick ah
15:59 csharp yeah, so...
15:59 csharp berick: feel free to move to your topic
15:59 berick k
15:59 berick csharp: be free :)
16:00 csharp berick: thanks - I'll let you take it from here :-)
16:00 berick my agenda items essentially boil down to angular staff catalog:  what do we want to do for 3.5 and looking ahead to 3.6
16:00 berick WRT it being a replacement (whole or part) to the embedded tpac
16:01 remingtron berick: is there a list of missing features?
16:02 berick https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?i​d=dev:browser_staff:angular_staff_catalog
16:02 berick quite a few open pullreuquests.  a small handlful of not-yet-coded features
16:02 csharp as a parting comment, I'll mention there's *some* (not sure how widespread/intense) feeling here that staff need/expect the patron opac within the client - I'm not sure I agree, but it was a specific request from The Beginning of Evergreen in PINES
16:02 * csharp jets
16:04 berick as with the XUL client, it's one tab over
16:04 sandbergja Does anybody have a sense for how much the Angular catalog is currently being used in production?
16:05 Dyrcona I'll add that having the patron in the staff client was one of the selling points of Evergreen at MVLC, because staff could see more or less what patrons saw.
16:05 berick i haven't heard one way or the other, sandbergja
16:05 sandbergja My vague sense is that it's not quite ready to be the default catalog, but definitely ready to be less hidden...
16:06 berick re: what patrons see, there is a tab in the detail page that shows the patron view.  you can also open a new tab to the tpac.  i'm confused what the issue is on that.
16:07 mmorgan joined #evergreen
16:07 terranm I honestly haven't looked at it since Bill did a demo for the catalogers group a few months ago, but Chris enabled it on one of our test servers so I'll make a point to look further with real data
16:07 jeffdavis We haven't enabled the Angular catalogue in production here, but I've proposed making it visible. We're seeing a lot of slowness in the staff catalogue and I wonder if the Angular version would be an improvement.
16:07 berick sandbergja: same.  until it gets more use in the wild, making it the default is a hard sell.
16:08 berick and by the same token, if no staff know it exists, no one will use it
16:08 berick it's a bit complicated, since using it requires extra steps (since all the links lead back to the tpac catalog)
16:09 jeff_ is there anything architectural preventing a mode/setting where any catalog links (from, say, grids/etc) go to the angular staff catalog?
16:09 berick jeff: just a whole lot of if/else statements
16:09 berick or a redirect
16:10 sandbergja Dyrcona: here is how the patron view of individual bib records is currently showing up in the Angular catalog: http://www.sandbox.lbcc.linnlib​raries.org/patron_view_tab.gif
16:10 jeff maybe a prefix that's set in one place and then used everywhere we link?
16:10 * Dyrcona forgot about the meeting until his name was mentioned earlier. :)
16:10 sandbergja Dyrcona: fwiw, the catalogers working group seemed pretty happy with the patron view tab
16:11 terranm +1 to the patron view tab
16:11 jeffdavis sandbergja: that's a surprising number of reference copies of that particular title
16:11 berick jeff: maybe.  but it gets complicated with routerLink's, target=_self, etc. depending on the context
16:14 jeffdavis berick: sounds like more testing is wanted before we make it the default, but maybe we can at least make it more visible (or not call it "Experimental" anymore or whatever) in 3.5?
16:14 terranm +1
16:14 remingtron berick: maybe during feedback fest we could invite EG users to test the staff catalog and give feedback
16:14 remingtron (and/or during a bug squashing week)
16:14 terranm +1
16:15 berick remingtron: on that note, I'll be posting all of the pending staff catalog pullreqs to a demo server for fests and squashes
16:15 remingtron cool
16:16 berick so i'll post a LP about making it visible by default in 3.5, while retaining the option to hide it
16:16 sandbergja berick++
16:16 berick can just keep the same org setting, requiring an explicit 'false' to hide it.  and will request feedback on labeling
16:17 berick #action berick to open LP on showing link to ang staff cat by default in 3.5
16:17 berick anything else on that topic?
16:18 berick #topic QA-related bugs
16:18 berick did someone add this one or is it another boilerplate entry?
16:19 jeff berick: you don't appear to be chair, so none of your commands are being picked up by meetbot. fixing.
16:19 remingtron boilerplate, I think
16:19 berick jeff: oh bleh
16:19 jeff added you.
16:19 * berick notes the LP link produces no results, so...
16:19 berick thanks jeff
16:19 berick #action berick to open LP on showing link to ang staff cat by default in 3.5
16:19 jeff if you re-do your #info and #topic i think that's all
16:20 jeff er, action. yeah.
16:20 berick i'll skip the QA topic since it seems to be a no-go
16:20 berick ok, any other business to discuss today?
16:21 berick #idea more cowbell
16:21 * berick is practicing
16:21 berick ok

16:34 mdriscoll What is the recommended version of Postgres for 3.4 and beyond?  The install instructions say that 9.6 is the minimum.  I'm running 9.4 on production and test servers.  Should I plan on 9.6 or jump to 10, 11?
16:40 bshum Stick with 9.6
16:40 bshum 10 was wonky for some people, I remember csharp having issues after their upgrade?
16:41 bshum So we're still needing some DB refinements I think for some database function changes
16:41 Dyrcona bshum: I'm not aware of any specific issues with 10 that remain, but it wouldn't surprise me if something else turned up.
16:41 bshum Dyrcona: I think csharp noted more set top returning function errors
16:41 bshum He didn't say which functions were broken specifically, but he was mid rolling back his production or something
16:42 bshum So, I was going to ask more details the next time I saw him
16:42 bshum For now I'd say stick to PG 9.6 for community support :D
16:42 Dyrcona I did a grep through the code and didn't see any.
16:42 bshum And we'll tackle 10/11/12 next time
16:43 bshum Yeah I wondered if maybe he just had some custom function
16:43 * Dyrcona has 9.6 through 12 installed on a test server.
16:43 bshum Or it's some reporter one
16:43 bshum That would generally also be custom to PINES
16:43 bshum I thought we nailed down all the ones from concerto clean master for PG 10
16:44 Dyrcona mdriscoll: We upgraded to 9.6 in January from 9.5, if that's any help.
16:44 bshum But then again, we also didn't yet write pgtap tests for every core function
16:44 bshum Just to be safe
16:44 * bshum adds to his Hackfest ideas list
16:44 Dyrcona Yeah, we need more pgtap tests.
16:45 Dyrcona Not sure that we can really test all of the functions since they rely so heavily on side effects.
16:45 bshum Right
16:45 bshum But at least we can put some input and see what expected output ought to be
16:46 Dyrcona I *think* we can do multistep tests, i.e. run the function and check table values after.
16:46 bshum Right
16:46 bshum I'm pretty sure we can
16:47 mdriscoll bshum++
16:47 mdriscoll Dyrcona++
16:47 Dyrcona Sounds like something to work on during the hackfest. Guess I know what we're doing. :)
16:47 bshum Huzzah!
16:50 * bshum has only been talking about doing it for like the past 2 or 3 conferences now :(
16:51 Dyrcona It came up at the hack-away in 2018, too.
16:51 bshum I should say "evergreen events" rather than just conferences :D

17:16 csharp for the logs, Dyrcona is correct about 10 - I went live with 10 on 3.2 and that was not good, but only because I didn't backport the PG 10-specific fixes
17:16 csharp berick++ # finishing the meeting
17:16 csharp @band add Tab Crash
17:16 pinesol csharp: Band 'Tab Crash' added to list
17:17 Dyrcona Also for the logs, you can backport the Pg 10 fixes to earlier versions and things are OK. I've tested them on both 9.5 and 9.6.
