11:03 Dyrcona @praise SOCKS proxy
11:03 * pinesol the upgrade came off brilliantly, and it's all because of SOCKS proxy

12:21 mmorgan Since we've started using holds stalling, our users are frustrated when they must find the exact barcode on their pull list. This only happens when the hold needs to go in transit, local holds will capture any copy. Is this an issue for anyone else? Is it intended behavior?
12:27 mrisher joined #evergreen
12:38 jeff mmorgan: not using stalling here (yet?), so not an issue. i can imagine how/why it happens, though i can't say if it's "intended" behavior.
12:38 jeff mmorgan: i suspect it can be fixed, regardless.
12:40 jeff it's potentially "accident" that pulling an equivalent item with a different barcode (usually) works, due to opportunistic capture.
12:41 jeff i'd have to double check, but there might not be much/any performance impact in considering other copies when stalling is in effect. you're already looking for local holds for the (different barcode) copy...
12:42 jeff that may or may not answer your question.
12:45 * mmorgan would love to see it fixed. Not capturing equivalent copies to the one on the pull list causes extra work and frustration for staff members.
12:46 mmorgan by '"accident" that pulling an equivalent item with a different barcode (usually) works' do you mean without stalling or with?

14:02 jeff mmorgan: I mean without stalling, where nothing prevents the copy from being captured under the opportunistic mechanism.

15:29 Cocopuff2018 how do i get started with evergreen system
15:38 Dyrcona csharp | berick: My boss wants me to grill you about Quipu. Do you think you would have time to chat around the development meeting tomorrow?
15:38 jihpringle joined #evergreen
15:39 Dyrcona Cocopuff2018: That's a broad question, and the answer depends on what you want to do with Evergreen.
15:40 Cocopuff2018 i want to use it for a public libary
15:40 Cocopuff2018 @Dyrcona>
15:40 pinesol Cocopuff2018: Does the abacus count itself?
15:40 Cocopuff2018 no
15:41 Cocopuff2018 i just wanna figure out how to get my library started with evergreen
15:42 Dyrcona Cocopuff2018: How big is your library, and have you looked at any alternatives?
15:42 Cocopuff2018 about 300 and no alternatives.
15:43 Dyrcona About 300 what, patrons, items, branches?
15:43 Cocopuff2018 2 branches and 200 partons
15:44 Cocopuff2018 will we be able to get me set up
15:46 Dyrcona Cocopuff2018: I'd suggest that you also take a look at Koha: https://koha-community.org/
15:46 Cocopuff2018 ok but how do i get started with evagreen system?
15:47 Dyrcona To get started with Evergreen you need 1) a Linux server host, preferably a recent release of Debian or Ubuntu.
15:48 Dyrcona 2) You need to download and install OpenSRF: https://evergreen-ils.org/opensrf-downloads/
15:48 Dyrcona 3) You need to download and install Evergreen: https://evergreen-ils.org/egdownloads/
15:49 Cocopuff2018 will evagreen charge me money
15:51 Dyrcona No. It's free as in beer, freedom, and kittens.
15:51 Cocopuff2018 and does this host multiple Branches
15:53 Dyrcona Evergreen is designed for consortia of multiple libraries. For instance, I work for a consortium of 150+ libraries in Massachusetts with over 300 branches, all using the same Evergreen installation.
15:54 Dyrcona Cocopuff2018: These might help: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/d​oku.php?id=faqs:evergreen_faq_1
15:54 Cocopuff2018 nice i would need someone to build this for me
15:55 jihpringle Cocopuff: there are a number of companies that offer hosting services, some of them are listed here: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/dok​u.php?id=faqs:evergreen_companies
15:56 Cocopuff2018 do they build it for me
15:56 Dyrcona jihpringle++ # I was just about to paste that link.
15:56 Dyrcona Cocopuff2018: One of the companies may host it for you for a fee. That could be the best route for you if you're not prepared to run it yourself.
15:57 Cocopuff2018 if i do it on my own its free?
15:58 Dyrcona Cocopuff2018: There's no charge for the software. You'll have to pay for a server, electricity, etc. You can host it yourself, rent a server, etc.
15:59 Dyrcona If you hire someone to set it up for you, they will likely charge you for their time, etc.
15:59 jihpringle Cocopuff2018: if you haven't already, I'd recommend trying out Evergreen on one of the community demo servers to see whether or not Evergreen would suit your needs

17:16 devted Can somebody help me with the new emergency_closing feature?
17:19 devted I have several emergency closings set at both system and branch level, with overlapping closed dates, and this LP comes into play I think: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1869728
17:20 pinesol Launchpad bug 1869728 in Evergreen "Emergency closure processing fails if overlap existing closed date" [High,Confirmed]
17:22 devted For 4 different closing definitions in actor.org_unit_closed, the Closed Dates Editor shows 0/0 in the processing summary [0/0 processed cirdulations; 0/0 processed hold; 0/0 porcessed reservations]
17:23 stompro__ joined #evergreen
17:23 devted So no circs, holds, or reservations were affected;   Can I just then delete these all from the Closed Dates editor?
17:25 devted And question #2:  I found some in-limbo circs and holds for an emergency closing that's in the past.  How do I make that one disappear from the Closed Dates Editor?
