12:20 mantis would anyone have an idea as to which files to look at with a window resizing issue?  We noticed this in our version of the Record In-House Use page - the form disappears when the window is sized to small or if the monitor isn't large enough.
13:18 sandbergja joined #evergreen
13:24 sandbergja mantis: for the window resizing issue, I would definitely take a look at src/templates/staff/css/style.css.tt2 and src/templates/staff/circ/in_house_use/index.tt2.  It would be good to determine if the form is totally removed from the DOM at small sizes, or if it's there but hidden (for example with CSS display:none), or if another DOM element is
13:24 sandbergja just totally covering it up.  I would investigate in the browser dev tools to see if it's there, and if so, if it's hidden or covered up.
13:25 Dyrcona I was about suggest Open-ILS/src/eg2/src/app/staff/nav.component.html (depending on your release) and that it does sound like a CSS style issue.
13:34 Stompro dluch, did you see bug #1533424 in regards to your question about circulation duration rules?  No solution, but some discussion.

15:10 gmcharlton So, the bug is opened: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2051946
15:10 pinesol Launchpad bug 2051946 in Evergreen "institute a Git commit message template" [Wishlist,New] - Assigned to Galen Charlton (gmc)
15:10 gmcharlton ah, sorry, wrong one
15:10 gmcharlton just a moment
15:10 gmcharlton this is the one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2051874
15:10 pinesol Launchpad bug 2051874 in Evergreen "new script to extract information for release notes from commit messages" [Wishlist,New]
15:11 gmcharlton and it comes with a pull request
15:11 gmcharlton so, additional feedback welcome
15:12 Bmagic gmcharlton++
15:12 shulabear gmcharlton++
15:12 Dyrcona gmcharlt++
15:12 Dyrcona I should be able to take a look.
15:13 gmcharlton Dyrcona++
15:13 Bmagic :)
15:13 Bmagic this next one is yours also
15:13 Bmagic #info GalenCharlton update the release note script to look for the release-note tags
15:14 Bmagic I thought maybe that was more along the lines of: update the release script to include the release note portion
15:15 gmcharlton yeah - I think the action items got a bit squished during the previous meeting
15:15 Bmagic but I suppose you killed both birds with one LP?
15:15 gmcharlton the first bug I mentioned, bug 2051946, is the one to instituate a commit message template
15:15 pinesol Launchpad bug 2051946 in Evergreen "institute a Git commit message template" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2051946 - Assigned to Galen Charlton (gmc)
15:15 gmcharlton that bug is open, but now I need to devise a template and create a pull request
15:16 Bmagic ok, shall we make that an action for you?
15:16 gmcharlton so I'll take an action item to create a Git commit message type and update bug 2051946
15:16 gmcharlton yes please
15:16 Bmagic #action gmcharlton - create a Git commit message type and update bug 2051946
15:16 pinesol Launchpad bug 2051946 in Evergreen "institute a Git commit message template" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2051946 - Assigned to Galen Charlton (gmc)
15:17 Bmagic #link https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/do​ku.php?id=dev:git#commit_messages
15:18 Bmagic I suppose Stompro did his thing?
15:18 Stompro I added examples to the dev:git page and updated a few other pages that referenced creating the release notes with stubs just so the new ability gets noticed.
15:18 gmcharlton he did
15:18 gmcharlton Stompro++
15:18 Bmagic Stompro++
15:18 gmcharlton also, on the general topic, there's a comment from abneiman on the release-tag bug that I'd like to mention now, as it might affect the template
15:19 gmcharlton namely, seeing if we can setting for a tense to use for the one-liner release notes
15:19 Bmagic please, the rest of the agenda is almost empty, so go ahead
15:20 gmcharlton abneiman: do you have any preference one way or another?
15:20 Bmagic hmmm
15:20 gmcharlton (comment is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ever​green/+bug/2051874/comments/9)
15:20 pinesol Launchpad bug 2051874 in Evergreen "new script to extract information for release notes from commit messages" [Wishlist,New] - Assigned to Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)
15:20 abneiman sorry, I was just here for the band names
15:21 Bmagic I like the "s" - inferring that the following code does* the thing. Though from a documentation context, I'd say without the s, but maybe a "d" instead. Like "Removed" X, "Fixed" Y
15:21 abneiman personally I tend to go with the more active (to my ears) version: "Fixes an issue..." "Restores the ability..." "Adds a something or another"
15:21 kmlussier +1
15:21 gmcharlton abneiman: be it. "Megadeth fixes the accessibility issue." "Chanticleer updates the MARC tag tables"
15:22 gmcharlton etc.
15:22 abneiman but, I don't really have a strong preference, just a preference for consistency (hobgoblins or not)
15:22 abneiman gmcharlton++ # actual lol
15:22 Bmagic s! Esss it issss!
15:23 Dyrcona We could go with just "Fix an issue...."
15:23 shulabear all release notes should be in passive voice /jk
15:24 Bmagic lol, Dyrcona
15:24 dluch Yeah, I think with the s
15:24 dluch shulabear lol
15:24 Bmagic so, where does this lead us? Should this be formal somewhere?
15:24 gmcharlton suggestion in the Git commit message template (and the wiki page) would be where to put it, I think
15:25 Bmagic Stompro? want that one?
15:25 Stompro Sure
15:25 Bmagic #action Stompro will formalize the tense usage in the release-note message
15:26 Bmagic I would like to open the floor for any topic that anyone would like to mention? I dropped the ball and forgot to email the list yesterday, attempting to get the agenda a bit more filled out
15:26 Dyrcona While we're at it can we get better commit messages in general? Some folks don't follow guidelines.
15:27 Bmagic it'd be neat if git would flat refuse to commit if it's not in our format :)
15:27 terranm57 Bmagic I added one to New Business
15:27 gmcharlton yeah, I think that's going to be a matter of nudging
15:27 kmlussier Bmagic: That's what core committers are for.
15:27 Bmagic terranm57++
15:27 gmcharlton (though as I'm sure many of you have observed, I'm also quite willing to edit commit messages)
15:28 Bmagic kmlussier++ # I'm picking up your sublty
15:28 Bmagic moving on!

15:29 Bmagic #topic New Business - New Launchpad tag: "caching"
15:30 Bmagic who has "caching" ?
15:30 terranm57 lol
15:31 terranm57 Caching might have been gmcharlton's since I saw some tickets get added
15:31 Bmagic oh shoot, he disconnected
15:31 Bmagic gotta wait for the ol' cable modem to power cycle
15:31 gmcharlton joined #evergreen
15:31 Bmagic poof, he's back
15:32 gmcharlton so, did y'all fix all the bugs while I was gone?
15:32 terranm57 We just assigned them all to you
15:32 Bmagic gmcharlton: we're here: "New Launchpad tag: "caching""
15:32 gmcharlton terranm57: fair
15:32 gmcharlton so regarding the caching tag, just a heads-up that I added it today
15:33 terranm57 gmcharlton, did you add it to the "official list" too?
15:33 gmcharlton intended as a catch-all for issues where caching is just too. dang. much.
15:33 Bmagic gmcharlton++ # moving and shaking!
15:33 gmcharlton I did also making it an official tag
15:33 terranm57 I'll add it here - https://wiki.evergreen-ils.​org/doku.php?id=dev:lp_tags
15:33 gmcharlton but of course, now's the time to revert that if somebody has a serious objection or wishes an alternative name
15:34 Bmagic when do we tag bugs with it?
15:35 gmcharlton Bmagic: basically, any bug where a value gets cached, then changed, but then there's no obvious way to refresh the caching without server-side action such as an Apache restart
15:35 terranm57 "caching" works for me
15:35 gmcharlton it would cover both settings and configuration data as well as things like cached images and files served from the webserver (including Javascript)
15:35 Bmagic ok, makes sense. Documenting that on the wiki would be good. terranm is getting that covered
15:35 Dyrcona Yeah, "caching" is OK. If we need another for browser cache, we can add that.
15:36 Bmagic #action terranm will make LP tag "caching" official
15:36 terranm57 If we want to break it up, please do so like caching-server, caching-browser, etc.
15:36 terranm57 Bmagic - done!
15:37 Bmagic terranm57: and confirmed! I see it. Wow, that has to be some kind of record
15:37 gmcharlton my overall goal: without compromising speed, to make it possible to change something or do an upgrade and see the new stuff without anything more than a page refresh
15:37 gmcharlton (or at least, a cache-clearing action that you can get at via the staff client)
15:37 Dyrcona Well, why not drop the "ing?" Particularly if there are two: browser-cache, server-cache?
15:37 mantis left #evergreen
15:38 Bmagic CTR+f the tags wiki page for "cach" - no results but the new one
15:38 * Bmagic waves at mantis, ongoing dev meeting atm
15:39 Dyrcona I'm not sure we'd need a tag for browser cache, though. So, don't mind me.
15:39 Bmagic we're good then, with the "caching" tag? I mean, it's already official
15:40 gmcharlton I think for the moment that there's no need to split the tag
15:40 Bmagic sounds good to me
15:40 Bmagic #topic New Business - 3.next / 4.0 release team & schedule?
15:40 abneiman that's mine
15:40 Bmagic strap in, this might be a long one
15:40 abneiman just a poke
15:40 abneiman I mean, I don't have anything to say other than, hey we should talk or at least think about this?
15:41 abneiman anyone want to take the lead?
15:41 abneiman for that matter, are we settled on whether this will be 3.13 or 4.0?
15:41 abneiman anyway, discuss!
15:41 Dyrcona I have been meaning to start a larger conversation about releases because I don't think our current model is working.
15:42 abneiman agreed that that is a larger convo that needs to be had; but for this month I just don't want another month to go by without a relteam for the spring
15:43 Bmagic #link https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.p​hp?id=dev:evergreen:release_checklist
15:43 Dyrcona Well, our last release was three months late. Do we think we're really ready for another?
15:44 Bmagic Dyrcona: point release?
15:44 abneiman part of that was we didn't get a rel team together till three months late... and we're already running late on the spring, so, is the answer to run later? or to get people to step up now and try to get a schedule together?
15:45 csharp_ is anyone experimenting with RediSRF? that seems to be one of the factors for 3.X vs 4.0
15:45 Bmagic csharp_: I am! nothing to report yet though
15:45 gmcharlton csharp_: yep
15:45 Bmagic I'm planning on putting it into production for a 3.12.1 upgrade
15:45 csharp_ we should also consider an LTS (long term support) 3.X for people not ready to move to RediSRF/Rust
15:46 Dyrcona That schedule is unrealistic given our current experience. I think we should do 1 release per year, if we wish to do the full tarball dance.
15:46 terranm57 From a user perspective, I would expect a 4.0 version to be fully Angularized.
15:46 berick Bmagic: nice!
15:46 shulabear terranm57++
15:46 sleary another factor is that we have some Angularizations coming up (Reports, Acq A&B) that would let us remove some older interfaces, but we might want a version where they overlap... what terranm57 said
15:46 dluch terranm57: same
15:46 csharp_ at the Hackaway we talked about changing up the release timings iirc
15:47 Dyrcona abneiman: To answer your specific question: Yes, I think we should push the spring release back depending.
15:47 Bmagic sounds like we don't want 4.0 to be the next* release name
15:47 csharp_ I don't think it fits
15:47 sleary I agree
15:47 abneiman Equinox has a couple large features -- alluded to by sleary -- that IMO should predate a 4.0/redis
15:47 sleary I would love for 4.0 to have some visual polish, and the UI group is working on some things, but they will not all be ready for spring
15:47 Dyrcona Someone has started targeting bugs at 4.0-beta, fwiw.
15:47 Bmagic 3.13 rolls off the togue anyway!
15:47 abneiman I'd love to see a spring release but we need volunteers
15:48 csharp_ and we have to do 3.13 so we can get to Evergreen Pi!
15:48 Dyrcona I also think we should follow the trend of using YY.MM for releases. Many more projects are doing that now.
15:49 Bmagic I'm not opposed to changing the numbering system, but we might want to take that to the mailing list?
15:49 Dyrcona As for the next release, do we think there are enough new feature ready now to justify another "major" release?
15:49 csharp_ we based the twice a year thing on Ubuntu, and we're actually a bit more like Fedora (late all the time)
15:49 sleary I do not love the year/month numbering, just because last-minute release schedule changes would force us to edit a lot of docs and things
15:50 abneiman there will be a whole pile of potential major features shortly, once I know what a release schedule looks like ....
15:50 gmcharlton noting that the 4.0 series / 4.0-beta tags in LP are easily renamed
15:50 Dyrcona Bmagic: Right, I was gong to add that changing the numbering and reducing the number of releases should be part of that larger conversation. However, I think it is worth mentioning as we discuss the next release.
15:50 Bmagic actually that is a good point, don't we have a bunch of code that relies on the numbers to be in sequence like that?
15:50 csharp_ gmcharlton right - and *all* of this is kinda arbitrary in the end :-)
15:51 gmcharlton next release, Evergreen ξ!
15:51 Dyrcona What csharp_ just said is why I prefer dated releases. The numbers are arbitrary.
15:51 csharp_ PINES does annual upgrades and we'll do whatever version is newest at that time
15:51 Dyrcona gmcharlton: You're proposing we got the rote of TeX and increment 1 digit of Pi for earch new release?
15:51 Dyrcona :)
15:51 abneiman so, no release team volunteers? We're just gonna talk about numbers?
15:52 berick annual here too fwiw, but it seems we're veering into a huge tangent :)
15:52 Bmagic Dyrcona: would you like to take the action of leading the numbering discussion on the mailing list?
15:52 berick abneiman++
15:52 Bmagic I'll be on the team!
15:52 shulabear I'll volunteer again. I'm not extremely useful, but I'm a body!
15:52 abneiman Bmagic++
15:52 terranm57 Bmagic++
15:52 Dyrcona abneiman: I am not convinced that we're ready for another release. Why not open the Lp bugs with the new features, firt?
15:52 Dyrcona first...
15:52 Bmagic shulabear++
15:52 csharp_ Bmagic++ shulabear++
15:52 Dyrcona Bmagic: No, I'm not taking an action.
15:53 Bmagic :)
15:53 berick Dyrcona: seems like something the release team could discuss?
15:53 terranm57 Why not choose the release team and let them take a closer look at when there is enough new good stuff?
15:53 abneiman Dyrcona: standby and I will give you a list of bugs in LP
15:53 csharp_ makes sense to me, berick & terranm57
15:53 Bmagic shulabear: it's you and me! We got this.
15:54 shulabear bmagic: oh lord we're in trouble
15:54 Bmagic (You're telling me :))
15:54 Dyrcona We can put it to a vote if you like. I'm just not prepared to volunteer at the moment
15:54 berick it's been a while, but I can assist w/ the release team this time.  just tell me what to do
15:55 Bmagic berick++ # glad to have you along
15:55 terranm57 Bmagic I can't commit to being on the release team again this time, but I can help with organizing feedback fest for it
15:55 csharp_ berick++
15:55 csharp_ we all have your back

15:56 abneiman noting that those 4 that I linked are in the final stages of internal cleanup and I expect PRs on all of them within the month
15:56 sleary those are just the big ones :)
15:56 abneiman so, yes, there are features
15:56 terranm57 nice!
15:56 Bmagic lol, that's all?
15:56 gmcharlton berick: Bmagic: shulabear: if it helps, I am willing to do a one-shot session to go over some of the details; and I'm pretty sure that there are other recent release team members who could help me out
15:56 shulabear gmcharlton++ I'd appreciate that, for one.
15:56 Bmagic gmcharlton++ we can use all the help we can get
15:56 berick i'm interested
15:57 sleary I can help out with the release
15:57 gmcharlton I'll send out a call for scheduling said session
15:57 terranm57 There's also a recording in one of the New Devs meetings - https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.p​hp?id=newdevs:meetings:agenda-2023-11
15:57 Bmagic gmcharlton: I was just about to ask that
15:57 Bmagic #link https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.p​hp?id=newdevs:meetings:agenda-2023-11
15:58 Bmagic abneiman++ I think you accomplished your goal
15:58 Dyrcona Rolling the release itself isn't that hard if enough people who have the proper permissions are around.
15:58 terranm57 IIRC, the recording doesn't cover the translation stuff, which is quite a few more steps
15:58 abneiman also, https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2043142 (and security bug #1917821) as well as a pile of bugfixes on Item Alerts, Holdings Editor, and a bunch of fixes for Experimential Angular Circ.
15:58 pinesol Launchpad bug 2043142 in Evergreen "wishlist: Reports security improvements" [Wishlist,New] - Assigned to Mike Rylander (mrylander)
15:59 * abneiman drops mic
15:59 terranm57 abneiman++
15:59 Bmagic real quick, with the 30 seconds
15:59 abneiman thanks for letting me, uh, yell-spire you
15:59 Bmagic #topic New Business - Next Bug Squashing Week?
15:59 mmorgan abneiman++
15:59 terranm57 It's time to plan the next Bug Squashing Week - Maybe the week of February 26 or week of March 18?
15:59 abneiman and I can help with relteam comms & release notes, etc. but can't take a big role
16:00 shulabear abneiman++
16:00 Bmagic terranm57: My schedule allows for either week
16:00 terranm57 Bmagic++
16:01 terranm57 I'm inclined to push it back to March unless anyone wants it sooner
16:01 Bmagic nope, that's fine!
16:01 abneiman +1 to March, I can even promise some shiny new features to test :-D
16:01 terranm57 Cool beans, I'll put it on the calendar and do all my stuff
16:01 abneiman and some buffed-up old features
16:02 Bmagic terranm++
16:02 Bmagic #endmeeting
16:02 gmcharlton and at least a couple buffed-OUT really old things

16:02 * kmlussier stepped away from the meeting at the wrong time. Did any actions come out of that release discussion?
16:02 gmcharlton Bmagic++
16:02 gmcharlton kmlussier: yep, we have a release team
16:02 terranm57 Bmagic++ ciaaaaaooo y'all
16:03 abneiman Bmagic++ terranm57++ gmcharlton++ berick++ shulabear++ sleary+++
16:03 abneiman sleary++ #rather
16:03 kmlussier But we still don't have steps towards a larger discussion on release timing. Or is that discussion going to the release team too?
16:03 Dyrcona kmlussier: No, just a list of bugs.
16:03 abneiman anyway hope I didn't forget anyone
16:03 Bmagic Thank you, thank you! I'd like to thank my parents, and my pet dragon!
16:03 abneiman Dyrcona: it's a list of features, and I eagerly await the schedule the release team puts out so I can coordinate all of that on my end
16:03 Dyrcona I think it would have been justified to run the meeting over.
16:04 Bmagic shulabear: I PMed you
16:04 gmcharlton kmlussier: yeah, at least for the short term (next release), scheduling would be up to the new team to put something specific together
16:04 Dyrcona abneiman: Understood.
16:04 shulabear bmagic: just noticed!
16:06 kmlussier gmcharlton: Understood. I'll keep the rest of my thoughts in my head for now.
16:06 Dyrcona abneiman: I'll look over the list of features and see what I think. I always reserve the right to change my mind when new evidence comes to light.
16:07 * kmlussier takes back her last comment and decides to share a thought.
16:07 kmlussier Regardless of the features in any release, I think it's helpful for Evergreen sites to have a consistent release schedule they can rely on. If there aren't many new features, then it's a smaller release.
16:08 sleary kmlussier: I think you should revive that discussion on the mailing list. It seems to not fit well into the format of these meetings.
16:08 sleary I know you didn't get any traction on it last time, though.
16:09 kmlussier Yeah, maybe. It's just frustrating because I know this community is capable of consistent releases that are not always late.
16:09 smayo joined #evergreen
16:09 abneiman Dyrcona: definitely appreciate the feature review. Branches will be coming soon.
16:10 shulabear left #evergreen
16:14 berick Dyrcona: i too prefer the YY.MM release nomenclature.  the ubuntu release code names are practically useless to me.
16:14 berick and just becuase a relase is delayed doesn't mean you have to change its yy.mm name.
16:14 sleary kmlussier: are we comparing to pre-pandemic schedules? My observation is that virtually everyone I know is short-handed, stretched thin, and dealing with some kind of personal or family health crisis. I think we need to adjust our expectations of ourselves.
16:15 abneiman ^^ this
16:16 Dyrcona berick: It's also what all the "cool" projects are doing,
16:16 abneiman and for the record, I am neither opposed to a single-release-per-year schedule nor a yy.mm naming scheme, I just would love to see us get out of staring around blankly when it's time to do a release, and continue to run later and later
16:17 abneiman *and not continue to run later & later. Words. Hard.
16:17 Dyrcona I said this in private to someone, but I'll repeat it here: "It's not exactly the same community as when we had consistent releases." Some people are no longer part of the community.
16:18 abneiman and some people are newly part of the community, and as the 3.12 team showed, they are eager / willing / able to learn the process
16:18 Dyrcona abneiman++ On that, we definitely agree!
16:18 kmlussier Yeah, adjusting the release schedule is fine to adapt to this new reality. You get no arguments from me on that.
16:19 Dyrcona I think it might be useful to find out if tarballs are being used. One project I know of stopped releasing them, and said check out the code from git using tags.
16:19 Bmagic I don't use the tarballs, and i've had that same question "who uses the tarball"
16:20 sleary Do we have stats on the download page?
16:20 Dyrcona sleary; I don't know if we run webalyzer, but I might be able to look at the logs.
16:21 * Dyrcona should know... being on the admin team and all.
16:21 Bmagic If someone downloads the tar, I think the only track for that is the apache log. Compared to Google analytics which can capture page loads via embedded JS. But a straight download is likely not* captured by GA
16:22 sleary Webalyzer... now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time
16:22 kmlussier A discussion about tarballs is fine too. It's great that we're moving forward with this specific release, but, at some point, we need to deal with the questions of what release schedule (both feature and point) works for us now. Do we need a tarball? But I don't think I'm the best person to be bringing these questions to the mailing list since I am not in a position where I can help make these things happen.
16:22 * Dyrcona should start working on a draft email, but I'm afraid it will turn into War and Peace, if not LotR....
16:22 kmlussier And now I'm really done.
16:22 kmlussier Dyrcona: Sometimes you need that War and Peace discussion to make progress on something.
16:22 * abneiman whispers great topic(s) for dev hackfest!!! and then vanishes
16:22 Dyrcona :)
16:30 Dyrcona Well, the tarballs are definitely being downloaded, but most of the hits look like bots and scripts.
16:34 Dyrcona Six downloads in the last tow days. This counts both OpenSRF and Evergreen tarballs.
16:34 Dyrcona s/tow/two/
16:35 Dyrcona I tried excluding bots and scripts.
16:35 * Dyrcona calls it a day.

16:54 Bmagic berick: will do!
