14:13 Stompro Dyrcona, did you do any work on the Aspen Exporter for supercat?  The lack of call number prefixes is causing us lots of grief from customers that try to find stuff on the shelf.
14:15 Dyrcona Stompro: Lp 2045440 and Lp 2047442 should have what you need.
14:15 pinesol Launchpad bug 2045440 in Evergreen "Add Public Copy Notes to MARC export when items requested" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2045440
14:15 pinesol Launchpad bug 2047442 in Evergreen "Export public copy tags in SuperCat/unAPI" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2047442
14:15 Dyrcona Although, you asked about call number prefixes. They are already there. Mark is supposed to be working on getting them into Aspen.
14:18 Stompro Oh good, I can see where the changes need to be made in the EvergreenExportMain.java, it seems fairly straight forward, but getting a dev system setup seems like a lot of work.
14:18 Stompro https://github.com/mdnoble73/aspen-discovery/b​lob/9b708e77af8008976dc791bb9b87f57fd80d4c62/c​ode/evergreen_export/src/org/aspendiscovery/ev​ergreen_export/EvergreenExportMain.java#L1517
14:19 Dyrcona Yeah. I've looked at that file, but I've not tried to figure out exactly what needs to be done.
14:20 Stompro I'm hopeful that Bywater is working on opening up their bug tracker...
14:21 Dyrcona As for Aspen dev, I've been using a PHP Evergreen Client and a small compatibility lib to test my PHP changes, then I have to translate them to what Aspen actually does. The PHP Evergreen client is in a currently private repo on github if you want to look. It's private because I don't think it is done yet. I'll make it public after I've tested it more, cleaned it up, added documentation, and squashed it into a main branch
14:22 Stompro Sure, my github account is StomproLARL2023
14:22 Stompro (if that helps... not sure how github private sharing works).
14:25 Dyrcona Stompro: You should receive an invitation.
14:26 Stompro Got it, thanks.
14:28 Dyrcona I have an additional library that I haven't put up there called Aspen.php It has some code to map objects the way Aspen does and adds modified versions of some Aspen classes that were useful in testing. I'll see about making that available somehow.
14:31 Stompro Did you create the reading history fixes?  I think I saw those in the 25.02 release.  We are starting to get people noticing that not all their history is imported.
14:35 Stompro Err. 24.02 release... I don't see that far into the future.
14:35 Dyrcona I think I explained to Mark what needed to change.
14:36 Dyrcona It was only working when the circulation had not been aged.
14:38 Stompro Is that where there is no linked circulation?  I looked at the data but didn't make the link to circ aging.
14:39 Dyrcona The circ history from Evergreen comes over with a source_circ field. That is null when the circulation is aged. Apsen was using that field to get all of the information related to copies, etc.
14:40 Dyrcona circ also includes the cop id, so I recommended using that. Mark's changes are different from what I would have done, had I submitted a patch, but they appear to work.
14:40 Dyrcona s/cop/copy/
14:41 Stompro Got it, thanks.  Do you know if after that fix is applied, if it just gets refreshed when a user logs in again next, or if something else is needed to trigger it?
14:42 Dyrcona I don't know if something needs to be done, but I think that they did clear ours out when applying the fix.
14:44 Stompro Did users have to opt back in again?
14:46 Dyrcona We
14:46 Dyrcona We're not live, yet, so I don't know. I haven't been working that closely with the testing of the user side of things. I've mostly just been looking at code and proposing solutions.
14:56 Stompro Hmm, I can see our item stat cats in the supercat info... it would be cool if we could use that for our Literary Form and Audience data.
14:56 Stompro So I don't have to try and clean up our bibs.
15:00 Dyrcona You should clean up your bibs.
15:00 Dyrcona stat cats are not portable.
15:02 Stompro Aspen has been showing us that loud and clear.
15:32 Stompro Everyone going to see David Lynch's Dune 40th Anniversary in theaters this weekend!!!!  Cannot wait to subject my kids to it.
15:36 jeffdavis such a glorious disaster of a movie

20:26 jeffdavis Sounds like an nginx dev has created a new fork due to concerns about the owning company (not the first time this has happened) - http://freenginx.org/
