09:37 mmorgan Is #evergreen not getting indexed? I can't seem to find anything recent: http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/evergre​en/search/?nick=;q=testing;offset=0
09:38 mmorgan Not successful googling either.

09:42 Dyrcona mmorgan: This worked for me: http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/ever​green/search/?nick=&amp;q=testing
09:43 Dyrcona Ah, but it only finds things from 2013 to 2014.
09:43 mmorgan Dyrcona: Ok, but the most recent result is from 2014
09:43 Dyrcona :)
09:43 mmorgan :)
09:43 mmorgan jinx!
09:44 Dyrcona "site:irc.evergreen-ils.org testing" with google turned up something from 2017.
09:51 Dyrcona The same thing with Duck-Duck-Go turns up more results.
09:51 dbs mmorgan: yeah I reported that a month or so ago as well :/
09:51 Dyrcona Limiting to anything less than past year, turns up nothing.
09:52 alynn26 had the same thing looking for something in IRC Chat recently.
09:52 Dyrcona If you remember seeing it, you could search your client's log files, if any.
09:53 Dyrcona That's what I usually do.
09:53 alynn26 Since I knew it was from the past few days i just looked at each day until I found it.
09:55 mmorgan Dyrcona: Ok, thanks, I can do that.
09:56 mmorgan dbs: by "reported", do you mean reported here or reported somewhere that might be able to fix?
09:57 sandbergja joined #evergreen
09:57 dbs mmorgan: just reported here, I don't think we have a formal means of tracking issues outside of code?
09:58 dbs (maybe that could go onto the pile of "in the glorious future when we migrate from launchpad to gitlab or github or whatevs")

10:01 berick Dyrcona: the plan is for everyone w/ the commit bit to start mergin'
10:02 berick any code of mine that's gotta sign off, i'll get to before the cut-off, just leaving time for anyone else that wants to review (mostly catalog stuff)
10:04 Dyrcona berick: Ok, thanks. I wondered if it was going to be mostly you and csharp or if you had any plans for coordinating things.
10:05 bshum The IRC bot logs aren't being indexed properly cause I think there's a bug in the code that I never got around to tracking down more closely
10:05 bshum There's an indexer job that kept failing to run properly
10:05 bshum And I think it was almost eating itself when it tried to do it
10:05 bshum Could be Lupin didn't have the resources to do the job quite right
10:06 bshum Or it was a compatibiliity issue with mysql or something odd in the weird way it was using the plack apache stuff
10:06 bshum I was going to revisit it if/when I finally got around to moving the bots to a new home
10:06 bshum Also, our bot is no longer maintained
10:06 berick Dyrcona: doesn't seem like there's much to coordinate.  3.5 seems mostly to be a grab bag of disconnected stuff.
10:06 bshum So that too made it hard to look deeper.
10:07 * mmorgan isn't sure how the indexing of irc logs works, but misses being able to google for valuable information :-(
10:07 Dyrcona berick: OK. I was thinking about just going through and committing all the signed off stuff after looking over the changes.
10:07 berick Dyrcona: that would be super appreciated.  i'll be doing some of the same.
10:07 berick Dyrcona++
10:08 Dyrcona mmorgan: I don't think the indexing should affect Google. That's more likely a robots.txt file.
10:08 bshum That's what I would think too, though it could also be how the pages are reconstructed
10:08 bshum They aren't static pages all the time
10:08 bshum They only get created on demand and then hang around in /tmp somewhere
10:09 bshum So between Lupin reboots, old pages might disappear till someone went to crawl onto it
10:09 bshum It's not a great method
10:10 mmorgan Interesting. So has googling for irc logs always been hit or miss because of that?
10:10 bshum Ever since the new bot was implemented
10:10 bshum So circa 2015?
10:11 bshum Unifying all the logs is one of those "wouldn't it be nice?" ideas I've been throwing around in my head for a few years
10:11 mmorgan March 2014, when the searchable index ends?

10:16 sandbergja We just upgraded to 3.4.2, and now a bunch (all?) of our patron records are showing up with the alert stop sign -- but they don't have any alerts.  They're not expired, they don't have holds, etc.  Any suggestions on where to start looking to figure this out?
10:19 jeff sandbergja: what version were you on prior to the upgrade?
10:20 mmorgan sandbergja: Are your patrons batch loaded? Could there be a space or some other random character in the Alert Message field in the patron record?
10:21 Bmagic rfrasur: not seeing any stat cats on the bugsquashing server. Maybe they were lost in the refresh
10:21 rfrasur Might have been survey (which we don't use).  Popping in and checkin'
10:22 Bmagic nfBurton: how's the thing coming?
10:22 rfrasur bmagic: surveys.  My bad.  Makes more sense.  Still super awesome.
10:22 mmorgan rfrasur: Yes, that's the survey. I think it was csharp that contributed it.
10:22 rfrasur csharp++
10:23 mmorgan Best seed data in evergreen!
10:23 rfrasur I think the EIC should include a "joie de vivre" award.
10:30 sandbergja jeff: We were on 3.1.2 before
10:30 sandbergja mmorgan: We are batch loaded.  I spot checked a few records for whitespace in the alert message field, and nothing yet
10:39 nfBurton Good, just testing the changes and fixing a couple errors.
10:40 nfBurton I do have a question for the brain trust here though. Is there a simple way to toggle just the OPAC template through library settings or something to go to another folder?
10:41 nfBurton from the looks of it, it would be king of intensive with apache referencing OPAC lots, not sure how to make a toggle to the updated template
10:41 nfBurton Right now i Just rename the OPAC to OPAC-old and rename OPAC-new to OPAC
10:42 nfBurton Unless I can find a more elegant solutiobn
10:42 nfBurton Should be pushing today though if I can stop being such a perfectionist
10:47 Dyrcona nfBurton: The best (only?) way to do it now would be a different folder structure and URLs in Apache. If you want to toggle it somehow, via setting or on the fly, that would be a lot more work.
10:48 Dyrcona You could go way, way back to Evergreen's early code, 1.6- 2.0 era, and dig up something called craftsman to see how it has been done in the past. Also, the introduction of tpac required some dual sites being available for a while.
10:49 Dyrcona I forget what release made the transition from jspac to tpac.
10:49 terranm New batch of patches (bite-sized Group 6) loaded and ready to test! Thanks csharp++  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nDXg83ZAZl​DYBxb0z59-hKqEjjPxpEuUssI2qtANax4/edit?usp=sharing
10:51 mmorgan sandbergja: What do you have in Group Penalty Thresholds?
10:52 csharp Dyrcona: +1 to berick re: signed-off patches
10:53 * csharp rolls up sleeves, puts on core committer hat
10:54 Dyrcona Might help if we says which bug we're looking at in channel so we don't waste time looking at the same things.
10:55 Dyrcona says.... Yeah, I can English gud.
10:55 csharp good idea
10:56 nfBurton Dyrcona I guess it'll be a folder name change for now then
10:57 mantis1 Testing for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1754387
10:57 pinesol Launchpad bug 1754387 in Evergreen "Web Client: Pending User Buckets for more than 100 users" [High,Confirmed]
10:58 mantis1 terranm: You suggested in this ticket to upload a text file of over 100 users
10:58 mantis1 What do you suggest for getting over 100 of these patron barcodes?
10:58 csharp mantis1: one second, I'll generate a list
10:59 mantis1 Thank you
11:00 Dyrcona Are there 100 patrons in the test dataset?
11:01 csharp Dyrcona: 243 users
11:01 Dyrcona OK. Didn't know what you're using.
11:01 csharp 108 patrons
11:01 terranm Thanks Chris
11:02 Dyrcona Might as well load them all, then. :)
11:02 terranm FYI, now that we can download complete CSV from the search result grid, I usually do that to get big batches of patrons, then take out everything except the barcodes in Excel.
11:04 Dyrcona And, looks like the URL that I saved for list of pullrequest tagged bugs in Launchpad is broken. Time to update some bookmarks.
11:05 csharp mantis1: https://evergreen-ils.org/~​csharp/concerto_patrons.txt
11:05 mantis1 csharp: Thank you so much!
11:06 mantis1 csharp++
11:07 csharp mantis1: happy to help!
11:11 csharp grabbing bug 1859191
11:11 pinesol Launchpad bug 1859191 in Evergreen "Editing and saving MARC record changes the TCN value" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1859191
11:11 bshum mmorgan: I ran the irc log indexer, curious to see if your search results will be better or worse now... :D
11:11 bshum It's finnicky, but I see results from logs even as recent as today now
11:12 mmorgan bshum++
11:12 bshum We'll need to add a cron job to Lupin to run the indexer command periodically
11:12 mmorgan Indeed! Right up til today!
11:13 bshum And I'm not sure but I think there's caching that doesn't happily like the indexer job
11:13 bshum We can discuss more at the conference if we get time to do an impromptu web team meeting or something :)
11:13 csharp btw, we need to revive the discussions about migrating bots to the eg-bots server that's been sitting there for months ;-)
11:13 mmorgan That's great! Too much good information in the irc logs to not have it indexed.
11:13 csharp but it is not this day
11:14 mmorgan bshum++
11:14 csharp (also eg-web, eg-git, eg-docs, eg-list, and eg-build)
11:15 bshum Yeah it's only been a year or something :)
11:18 csharp GPLS is in the process of moving our email lists from mailman to Google Groups so one of the upcoming changes is finally moving open-ils-general, -dev, -commits, -documentation, etc. to the Evergreen list server
11:18 Dyrcona bshum++
11:18 Dyrcona csharp++
11:19 csharp by "moving", of course, I mean "creating new lists and moving the old archives over"
11:19 Dyrcona Can't just drop a tarball on the new vms?
11:19 Dyrcona mailman changed that much?
11:20 csharp I was thinking of the hostname change, mainly
11:21 csharp but I guess we could try that in a sandbox somewhere
11:22 Dyrcona Ah yeah, I see what you mean about the hostname change. We could possibly fix that with sed....

11:49 terranm mantis1++ Congratulations!
11:50 * Dyrcona will look at some of the signed off branches after lunch.
11:51 mmorgan I think I have a permissions issue with applying penalties to a patron.
11:51 mmorgan We have configured some standing penalties that appear in the dropdown of the modal when applying a penalty to a patron.
11:52 mmorgan Problem is, for some users, the dropdown is empty. I can't figure out what permission allows a user to see the configured penalties. Any ideas?
11:54 mmorgan All staff users have VIEW_STANDING_PENALTY at the consortium level.
12:05 dbs mmorgan: Don't know if it's related but when we upgraded to 3.4.1 from 3.1.something, I found that the permission groups that once inherited from one another (e.g. Staff -> Circulator -> Super Circulator) stopped inheriting, so I had to assign Staff + Circulator secondary groups to everyone with Super Circulator
12:06 dbs Unsure if it's a difference in the way the XUL staff client figures out permissions vs. webby, or server side
12:06 mmorgan dbs: Really? That's not good.
12:13 mmorgan Ok, seems the staff user needs VIEW_GROUP_PENALTY_THRESHOLD as well. That doesn't make sense to me, but it seems to work.
12:15 rfrasur mmorgan++
12:17 dbs mmorgan: nice find! Is that something that should be added to the seed data?
12:18 mmorgan Possibly, but I'm wondering why it requires that permission.
12:20 * dbs suspects there's no good way to extract the title of line items in the reporter
12:24 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:25 jeff dbs: do you have any more specifics on the issue with permission inheritance you mentioned above?
12:26 * mmorgan is checking to see if my newly found permissions will be inherited.
12:26 dbs jeff: No I don't
12:27 jeff dbs: ok, thanks.
12:28 khuckins joined #evergreen
12:28 Dyrcona dbs: Have you tried using XUL since you upgraded to see if the client is the main difference?
12:28 dbs Dyrcona: nope
12:29 dbs I guess maybe I could define a "MARC 245a" reporter column transform that would run XSL...
12:36 dbs oh wait, lineitem descriptive attributes, filter by attribute name = title and display attribute value should work
12:37 Dyrcona dbs++
12:38 Dyrcona So, a propos yesterday's settings control panel discussion, I came up with this: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PA​CX-1vTUEkETAWmwhoXM7hcIhRo8Z493IUVJtck3_zCSX​X3kFLVT4DDZGpyHl8Jq67ywOaFmTNcvHFtMnGfw/pub?​start=false&amp;loop=false&amp;delayms=5000
12:39 mmorgan dbs: jeff: Our system has a lot of inheritance going on in staff permission groups, and it seems to be working in our production 3.3.5 and test 3.4.2 systems.
12:39 jeff mmorgan: good to know!
12:40 mmorgan Yes. Whew!
12:40 csharp Dyrcona++
12:40 Cowens joined #evergreen
12:40 * jeff looks at a bunch of opac.default_sms_notify values of: "null"
12:41 jeff ...different from the bunch of values of: ""
12:42 dbs mmorgan: good!
12:43 mmorgan @hate permissions
12:43 pinesol mmorgan: The operation succeeded.  mmorgan hates permissions.
12:43 Dyrcona We haven't had any permissions issues on our 3.4.2 test system that I'm aware of, either.
12:43 Dyrcona And, things are working in production on 3.2.
12:46 mantis1 Dyrcona++
12:47 mmorgan Dyrcona++ indeed
12:47 mmorgan Lightning talk at the conference? :)
12:48 sandbergja joined #evergreen
12:50 terranm We moved to 3.4.2 in January and haven't noticed any permissions-related weirdness.
12:51 terranm Dyrcona++ lol
13:03 Dyrcona bug 1170794 appears to have fallen through the cracks because of the way it is targeted.
13:03 pinesol Launchpad bug 1170794 in Evergreen "Deposit charged again on renewal of deposit item" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1170794
13:08 Dyrcona Hm... after some review, I think the signedoff tag was added erroneously. Only the original author signed off.
13:12 Dyrcona Is it just me or did the editing of bugs on Launchapd change?
13:16 mmorgan Dyrcona: Change how?
13:18 Dyrcona Well, I used to be able to click an action icon next to "Unassigned" to assign myself or someone to a bug, but starting in the last week or two, I've had to click elsewhere and you get fields to edit the entire "row."
13:18 Dyrcona I also can't just choose a milestone like I could in the past, I get the interface to edit the whole row.
13:21 agoben joined #evergreen
13:29 * mmorgan doesn't see the same thing, the edit icons work for me as you describe they used to.
13:33 * Dyrcona tries the next one in Firefox, just to check if it's a browser thing.
13:34 Dyrcona It's also not showing me the list of bug subscribers. I wonder if something happened to my memberships....
13:35 Dyrcona No, they look OK.
13:37 tlittle joined #evergreen
13:39 terranm It looks the same for me with my permission level
13:39 Dyrcona So, it looks how I remember in Firefox. I'm going to try clearing cache. I wager it's a hangover from using the Bug Master account.
13:40 Dyrcona And, bingo! We have a winner!

14:06 gmcharlt #info Next tasks includes preparing tax statements for TEP; I will be working on that, and will likely have the some questions, most likely for agoben
14:06 agoben ++
14:06 gmcharlt I also have an update re Conservancy doing collections on unpaid invoices which I'll share when we get to that point in the agenda

14:08 agoben gmcharlt, the floor is yours again.
14:08 gmcharlt whee
14:08 gmcharlt so, here's the summary from Bradley Kuhn.. they are making collection attempts to satsify their auditors
14:09 gmcharlt and are doing it as they would with their other projects
14:10 gmcharlt they would be amenable to declaring the unpaid invoices as bad debt... but not until we have 501(c)3 status and (presumably as a board action) are ourselves willing to do so
14:10 agoben Does that mean they will or will not be sharing a list of who they're contacting?
14:10 Cowens Do we have any idea of the scope of the collections that pertain to Evergreen?
14:10 gmcharlt if there ends up being a specific case where there's a problem, we can reach out to Karen
14:10 agoben I'd also like to know how much "bad debt" we're talking about.
14:10 gmcharlt one moment, I can generate that
14:11 agoben Rather not write off $10K, but $1K might be worth it shortly to preserve vendor/community relations given the timeframes in question.
14:11 tlittle Agreed
14:11 nfBurton agreed
14:13 pastebot "gmcharlt" at 168.25.130.30 pasted "unpaid invoices" (26 lines) at http://paste.evergreen-ils.org/10129
14:14 rfrasur Ugh.  Right in the middle Anna
14:14 agoben Hmmm, that's higher than I'd like
14:14 gmcharlt hmm, the $4,150 one is likely a misunderstanding one way or another
14:15 agoben That's the balance, isn't it?
14:15 gmcharlt (2018 sponsorship from MOBIUS)
14:15 Cowens Pleading ignorance, are we sure these are legitimate from 4+ years ago?
14:15 rfrasur Oh, I thought that was the balance
14:15 gmcharlt well, lemme double check
14:15 agoben Ah, so the large one is probably on file with us, just not with SFC.
14:15 agoben whoops
14:16 gmcharlt Cowens: I'm sure they're legitimate as good faith invoices
14:16 gmcharlt but obviously I can't speak to any cases where something literally got lost in the mail or the like four years ago :/
14:17 Cowens Yeah, it just seems odd for invoices to go unpaid for that long.
14:17 agoben Ok, we know where we are then.
14:17 agoben Since we can't take any action on the debt immediately, are there any we want to follow up with SFC on now for discussions?
14:17 terranm I'm dubious that organizations like Stat and Sage didn't pay
14:18 gmcharlt I can follow up with MOBIUS, as I'm sure that's just as case of something getting on the wrong set of books
14:18 gmcharlt *a case
14:18 JBoyer Yeah, if those amounts don't come in around conference time people notice.
14:19 agoben Which suggests they are chasing paperwork to verify for now.
14:19 gmcharlt yeah
14:19 agoben Do we want to request kid gloves for anyone or let them do their thing until we get our paperwork here?
14:20 gmcharlt none of them jump out to me as an emergency
14:20 agoben I don't imagine they have a lot of flexibility with an active audit, but...
14:21 agoben ++  Ok, with that roughly settled, we'll plan to keep an eye on things and make decisions as soon as we can later this year.
14:21 agoben Any update on the grant report?
14:22 gmcharlt unfortunately not yet, but I'm still poking at it

14:29 Topic for #evergreen is now 2020 Conference Committee (Meeting topic: EOB/Evergreen Project Board meeting for 2020-02-20, agenda:https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.p​hp?id=governance:minutes:2020-02-20)
14:29 agoben tlittle? or terranm?
14:29 tlittle terranm has got it :)
14:29 terranm Everything is on schedule. We're up to 107 full conference & 58 preconference registrants. Hopefully we'll get more.
14:30 terranm The one problem is that we don't have as many sponsors as we expected. If more don't come through, we'll have to make some cuts to meals.
14:31 terranm Changing from a full breakfast to continental is the most obvious place to make a significant cost cut.
14:31 terranm We're low on room bookings, too. Hopefully those will go up the closer we get, but we may lose some of our discounts if we don't meet our minimum.
14:31 agoben Well, I'm still waiting on my approval to register and get a room, so there's at least 1 more coming!
14:32 terranm But, the conference schedule looks really good - lots of new topics!
14:32 alynn26 i am too.
14:32 agoben What is our target registration?
14:32 terranm For rooms or attendees?
14:32 nfBurton What if we got a room thats not in our block
14:32 agoben Both, I guess
14:32 terranm If it's not in the EIC block, it doesn't count towards our minimums.
14:33 terranm We had targeted about 170 attendees.
14:33 agoben mk
14:33 terranm I don't recall the number of rooms, but I think I calculated we'd need about 35 more people getting 3 nights
14:33 nfBurton That's rough. I got 3 single rooms instead of the double beds
14:34 nfBurton My apologies. Didn't realize it affects our numbers
14:34 terranm We might be closer on rooms now, the most recent number I have is from early last week.
14:34 terranm Any other questions?
14:34 agoben Appreciate the all of the committee's hard work on this!  I know you're also putting in the fretting time so the rest of us don't have to!
14:35 terranm :)

14:40 agoben The final draft is in the board's drive folder; I originally posted it the day after our last meeting.  I didnt' get any feedback on it from anyone on the committee so far.  I'd like to get it submitted tomorrow.
14:40 agoben Anyone looked over it since our last meeting and had anything to update?
14:41 gmcharlt I have no further updatese
14:41 tlittle Same here.
14:42 nfBurton N, it looks good to me
14:42 agoben Anyone willing to make a motion to go ahead with submission?
14:43 tlittle I'll make a motion to submit the 1023.
14:43 nfBurton I'll second

14:47 agoben jvwoolf?
14:47 terranm Woooo!!!!
14:48 jvwoolf We have two nominees, both are active community members who I'm sure would make excellent board members
14:48 agoben We need at least one more, right?
14:48 jvwoolf Well, there are two slots
14:48 agoben Or am I thinking about the wrong cycle?
14:49 agoben Ah, ok.  That's good.  I forget which year is the 2-fer vs 4-fer
14:49 jvwoolf But that was going to be my question - do we still continue with the rest of the election process?
14:50 agoben I believe they must be voted on under the bylaws.  I didn't think the positions are appointed.
14:50 jvwoolf OK, I thought that might be the case.
14:51 jvwoolf I'm a little behind where I wanted to be, but will send an announcement to the list and start the voter registration process tomorrow.

14:53 nfBurton None here
14:53 JBoyer No
14:53 gmcharlt none from me
14:53 tlittle None here
14:53 agoben I was thinking we'd plan on starting to define a policy for request/review submissions to the committee at conference this year, since that will probably be easiest to start in person.
14:53 tlittle I think that sounds good.
14:53 nfBurton Agreed
14:53 jvwoolf +1
14:54 JBoyer +1
14:54 Cowens +1
14:54 agoben That has come out of discussions from a couple of recent board reviews, but I don't think it's super critical to get that started at the momemnt.
14:54 agoben I'll plan to put it on the agenda for our meeting then!
14:54 nfBurton Only 2 months away anyways
14:54 agoben Yup

14:57 Cowens left #evergreen
14:58 derekz joined #evergreen
15:03 mmorgan1 joined #evergreen
15:04 derekz If a bib has no copies, is Evergreen capable of accepting title-level holds from patrons in anticipation of forthcoming holdings?
15:06 miker derekz: from staff, if they have the place-unfillable-holds permission (IIRC)
15:07 miker but not from patrons
15:08 miker (patrons won't even be able to see the records using normal search without holdings, located URIs, or a transcendent source)
15:10 derekz Thanks. That jives with what I'm seeing... wanted to create a transcendent source of 'ON ORDER' to allow consortium patrons to place holds and allow staff to gauge the appropriate number of copies to purchase to fulfill the requests in a timely manner
15:15 terranm derekz: Are you using the acquisitions module, or just doing this outside of acq?
15:17 derekz COOL isn't using the acquisitions module at this point, but I'm open to exploring it's use if it would help to facilitate this type of service to our patrons
15:19 terranm derekz: you might want to talk to Tiffany Little at PINES about it - we have Acq libraries doing on-order holds and it seems to be going well
15:20 terranm (and that's about as much as I know about Acq!)
15:21 mmorgan joined #evergreen
15:22 rfrasur derekz, it would 100% facilitate that service.
15:23 rfrasur Tiffany is definitely the go-to, but there are lots throughout the EG community using acq.
15:23 derekz Awesome! I'll investigate. terranm++ rfrasur++
15:24 derekz Tried to give karma, but I use IRC about 3 times a year :)
15:24 rfrasur karma has been given.
15:24 mmorgan Even if you don't use acquisitions, On Order items could be added to bibs to facilitate hold placement.
15:25 terranm yes - probably easier to track and keep a clean database using Acq though
15:28 rfrasur mmorgan++ terranm++ the "clean database" is one of the nicest things, imo about using acq.
15:31 mantis1 left #evergreen
15:32 derekz mmorgan: Initially, we wanted to write a script to fetch MARC from Baker & Taylor, process the record, and batch load them daily. Some of the libraries are already creating bibs with ON ORDER copies, but we thought it may help save some staff time to automate it a bit. It was a misunderstanding on my part that Evergreen would permit patrons to place holds on an empty bib outside of acq.
15:34 derekz In this particular scenario, we'd just be shifting the burden from cataloging staff onto circulation staff... who would need to place the holds for patrons.
15:35 derekz mmorgan++
15:37 derekz Also, high five to miker++
15:38 jeff derekz: if you were already planning on scripting the fetching of MARC data from B&T, you could also add a single holding to each (or as many as needed to permit holds within the limits of your hold policies)
15:39 jeff when adding the "real" items, cataloging staff could either replace the barcode on the on order copy, or delete it.
15:39 rfrasur derekz, at the front end, acq doesn't necessarily save staff time.  And, in general, using acquisitions is going to shift responsibilities around in some, perhaps, unanticipated ways.
15:39 jeff or you could remove the on order copy as part of a batch process for any records that gained "real" copies.
15:40 jeff at a certain point you're re-implementing Acquisitions, but I understand how there's desire to get some quick wins without needing to undertake the entire "we're going to use Acq" task.
15:58 dbs éwin 18
15:58 dbs whee
16:00 derekz Thanks, jeff. I'm more on the 'quick win' side... but it's worth investigating both approaches. The overhead of the acq module might outweigh any benefits on our small scale.
16:03 nfBurton Would anyone have a couple minutes to spare to help me get this git push made? I'm experiencing an error.

16:16 terranm Add the link to launchpad and add the pullrequest tag

16:18 nfBurton do I*
16:18 nfBurton Oh, just as a tag, got ya. Thought it was a status

16:20 mmorgan pinesol?
16:21 nfBurton lol
16:21 terranm nfBurton: did you say that this could be installed and tested alongside the regular opac?
16:22 nfBurton yes. It just means the folders would have to be renamed
16:22 terranm never mind, I see the path
16:22 nfBurton There is no nice way to toggle the OPAC I could find
16:22 jeff is the link in the original description still a good place to "See the progress at https://test.nflibrary.ca/eg/opac
16:23 nfBurton In 2 minutes, yes. I was using that one to view some original template things
16:24 bshum mmorgan: pinesol won't show a bug too fast after someone else linked to it, keeps it from spamming endlessly
16:24 bshum There's a timer built in, forgot how long
16:24 mmorgan Ok, gotcha.
16:24 jeff you can use PerlAddVar OILSWebTemplatePath in the Apache config to have a different set of template search paths for different virtual hosts.
16:24 nfBurton Yeah but this is just the OPAC part of the full template
16:25 jeff yep, that shouldn't matter.
16:25 jeff template search paths are searched (in reverse order as specified in the apache config, iirc), and the first matching template file is used.
16:26 jeff so you can have "just" an opac directory in one of your template paths, and have the stock with all the rest.
16:27 nfBurton ahhh and omit the rest. So either apache change or a folder change. I was hoping to toggle in Library Settings
16:48 terranm joined #evergreen
16:49 terranm Some of the little patches that have been signed off on this week don't have milestone targets - most of them should be 3.5-alpha, correct? (Before I do too many more)
16:50 berick terranm: if they are bug fixes, it's OK if they only target an existing release (e.g. 3.4.x)
16:50 berick features should target 3.5-alphs
16:51 berick heh
16:51 berick Alfs
16:51 terranm Ah, okay
16:51 terranm thanks!
16:52 mmorgan berick: Is it not recommended to target bug fixes to all the currently supported releases?
16:54 Dyrcona We need to have a conversation about that and update the dokuwiki pages. I have my preferences for bug targeting.

17:07 berick mmorgan: well, they should target all applicable releases.  3.5 doesn't really exist yet, so anything targeting (say) 3.4 is assumed to be included in 3.5, up until 3.5 leaves the nest, anyway.
17:07 berick that's been my rationale, anyway
17:08 berick bah, mmorgan disappeared
17:08 csharp berick: thanks for that - I've been adding 3.5-alpha targets for bugfixes, but that makes sense
17:10 terranm Would 3.next only be used for new features if the 3.5-alpha option wasn't there yet?
17:11 berick terranm: yeah, or if a feature wasn't going to be ready for 3.5
17:11 terranm thx
17:16 terranm berick: I've assigned either 3.4.3 or 3.5-alpha to all of the pullrequests that got signed off on this week
