10:11 csharp Fedora's great if you can just stick to the official repos for everything
10:11 dbs Bmagic: okay, i'm sure you're following some of the bugs that I've run into because Fedora tends to be ahead of most distros. Encode.pm comes to mind
10:11 csharp 3rd-party repos tend to lag a bit in my experience
10:11 Bmagic csharp: We are running it on debain now, and would like to test the waters more seriously on Fedora due to the Hyper-V issue I mentioned
10:11 dbs Bmagic: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1242999 for example
10:12 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1242999 in Evergreen "Encode.pm 2.54 breaks database functions (naco_normalize, maintain_control_numbers, others)" (affected: 1, heat: 10) [High,Confirmed]
10:12 Dyrcona csharp: While official Debian and Ubuntu repos tend to lag a lot, and often have bugs that go unfixed.
10:12 Bmagic dbs: Thanks for the heads up. I've installed this a few times on Fedora and I seem to remember hitting the Encode issue once before
10:12 csharp Bmagic: have you benchmarked KVM in your testing? that might be a better supported alternative
10:12 dbs Bmagic: that also motivates me to update the MARC::Record + friend packages that I maintain to be the most current versions :)
10:12 * Dyrcona uses Ubuntu for those who don't know.
10:13 csharp Dyrcona: yeah - I'd rather have lingering bugs than zero-day(-ish) bugs if I'm running something in production
10:18 dbs The good thing about Fedora in production is that its support cycle almost syncs up with Evergreen's
10:18 dbs So you could just deploy fresh every 12 months :)
10:19 Dyrcona Ooh, now you're talking about being a couple of releases behind. :)
10:19 csharp Bmagic: I got OpenSRF master installed on CentOS 6 recently
10:19 csharp (in a bare-bones test instance, I should add)
10:19 Bmagic csharp: OpenSRF and Evergreen?
10:19 * Dyrcona is seriously considering do Linux from Scratch on a laptop if he can find the time.
10:20 Bmagic Gentoo?
10:27 csharp s/Debian/packaging for Debian/
10:28 * csharp has hopes of cleaning up our deb-builder utility for more general use
10:28 csharp but that will be after our MLK weekend upgrade
10:28 dbs Bmagic: well, there's a fix for that in the bug I posted
10:29 dbs But because nobody else is hitting it yet, nobody else is motivated to really work on testing the final results (understandably)
10:30 csharp fedora++
10:30 Bmagic We really would like this to work on fedora and it seem so close fedora++

11:52 csharp dbwells: re: bug 1261355, my next step in troubleshooting was to begin commenting out each numbered script subsection in turn until I find the cause on our DB
11:53 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1261355 in Evergreen "2.4.3-2.5.0-upgrade-db.sql causing "could not find trigger" PostgreSQL error" (affected: 2, heat: 10) [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1261355
11:55 dbwells csharp: sounds like a good approach.  I was assuming the 'SET CONSTRAINTS' was part of the issue, but Robert's comment makes it sound like the same error can happen when skipping straight to 'COMMIT'
11:55 bshum dbwells: fwiw, I also tried using a 2.4.3 DB with concerto yesterday when csharp first mentioned it in IRC and couldn't replicate the problems either.
11:56 bshum I don't have a younger DB (not master) to test further with.
12:02 csharp it's possible that it's something about older installs that have been upgraded through each release?
12:02 * csharp shrugs
12:03 bshum Or it's just a table that has stuff in it that concerto doesn't normally.
12:20 bshum Fwiw, it's not unprecedented to split apart pieces of the major version upgrade scripts into separate BEGIN; COMMIT; blocks.  It's just not good for safe rollbacks :(
12:20 tsbere The big monolithic upgrade scripts should probably be rigged in "schema changes first, then data changes" order or something. But I don't use them so I dunno.
12:20 bshum Yeah, there's alot of hand editing that goes into them.
12:21 csharp well, there has been less hand editing this go-round for me, but yeah
12:22 enrichtomsk joined #evergreen
12:23 csharp for our 2.5.1 test server, running the numbered upgrade scripts to go from 2.4.3 to 2.5.1 was fine, so I may do 'for i in `cat list-of-numbered-scripts`; do PGUSER=evergreen psql -f $i evergreen; done'
12:26 csharp the only issue with that is the partial reingests that get kicked off sometimes, but Ctrl-C is easy enough
12:27 bshum See, csharp, you're only inches from just running master :)
12:27 csharp well, on the DB, maybe ;-)

10:05 * csharp decides to run VACUUM ANALYZE before running the script again
11:07 RBecker joined #evergreen
11:20 csharp nope - vacuum didn't help :-/
13:42 bshum Hmm, unrelated but the original 0827 doesn't have that in it.  It's only in the upgrade script itself.  So we probably never stumbled over that particular issue.
13:43 bshum csharp: My vague googling is coming up with slony threads that include references to that error you mention about "could not find trigger"
13:43 bshum Since we don't use slony, but you do, maybe that is related.
13:43 stevenyvr2 joined #evergreen
13:44 stevenyvr2 left #evergreen
13:45 bshum Either way, I haven't run a version upgrade script in so long that I probably should stop now and let other folks think through it.
13:45 bshum Good luck csharp, sorry I can't be more helpful right now.
14:01 bshum Unrelated, it may be that we need both the --create-database and --create-schema flags for eg_db_config to create a remote database.  The README only notes --create-database
14:04 bshum And fwiw csharp, a clean 2.4.3 database with concerto running the 2.4.3-2.5.0 script went through just fine.  Not that it's a good test, cause real production data is always better.  But it doesn't seem to be an immediately broken script :(
14:16 csharp bshum: thanks - I have another test db and I'm going to run the same script on it to see if it's a data corruption issue or something
14:22 bshum @later tell dbs Curious if you think this article I was just reading about dojo.require and Firefox rendering makes sense.  Maybe it could help with our autosuggest brokenness with Firefox lately?  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1943082/dojo-​require-prevents-firefox-from-rendering-the-page
14:22 pinesol_green bshum: The operation succeeded.
14:24 bshum csharp: Cool deal, curious to see what happens :)
14:27 bshum Eh, probably not it dbs, maybe nevermind
14:36 bshum Hmm, so I turned on autosuggest on our test database.  And then if I search in Chrome for something, it'll suggest it to me.
14:36 bshum Interestingly, if I then search for the same term in Firefox, it suggests it to me.
14:37 bshum It's probably cache or something
14:45 bshum Oh well, off to shovel some snow and then get ready for the first Christmas party of this week.
16:11 ldwhalen is anyone around who understands how pgTap tests are supposed to be used?
16:14 jeff have you looked at the existing docs and the notes that dbs put in the Encode.pm bug?
16:15 ldwhalen no, I looked at 1194246
16:17 jeff bug 1242999
16:17 ldwhalen thanks!
16:17 jeff beyond that i don't have direct experience yet, but ask away!
16:18 jeff (and soneone else with more direct experience may answer)
16:19 ldwhalen I am modifying query_parser_fts, and I am not sure what type of tests I might run.  I will look into this bug.
16:28 ldwhalen From what I can see the pgTAP tests are testing the effects of data within the database.  This modification is
16:29 ldwhalen to a function.  There are tests that could be run against it.  But, I am not sure what the scope should be.
16:29 ldwhalen It has 12 input parameters, so a complete test would be massive.
16:30 ldwhalen I am going to add it to a workingg branch and put a pull request on the lp bug because that has been requested
16:30 ldwhalen and these changes have been running live on Sitka for months.  If a test is needed, I will write one.
17:01 csharp interesting... if I 'grep block_check 2.4.3-2.5.0-upgrade-db.sql | cut -d"'" -f2'  and apply those updates one at a time, I get no errors
17:02 csharp so it must be something about the script + my data
17:02 csharp or the script itself

08:24 csharp dbwells: I'm interested in 2.5.1... are you awaiting testing feedback that it works?  I'm willing to do a test install if that helps
08:25 csharp specifically, I'd like to branch off of rel_2_5_1 via git when that gets created
08:26 akilsdonk joined #evergreen
08:27 Dyrcona csharp: You could just branch off of rel_2_5 now and then change the upstream when 2_5_1 is created. Anything destined for 2_5_1 should go into 2_5.
08:28 Dyrcona Which reminds me that we're doing a test upgrade on my development server today before this weekend's update.
08:29 Dyrcona As a general recommendation, if you have local changes and you want to track the release branches, I'd suggest basing your local branch off of rel_X_Y and not rel_X_Y_Z anyway.
08:30 csharp actually, that's a great idea
08:30 csharp it won't matter as much once we lock in on our go-live version, but during this test phase that's better
08:31 Dyrcona If you follow rel_X_Y you should pickup anything destined for rel_X_Y_Z, and you'll always be up to date as of your build.

14:06 rsoulliere #info EG 2.5 documentation is now being processed on the documentation web server.
14:06 rsoulliere #info I shared some information and tools with yboston regarding processing documentation from the repositories. Here are some of the tools in a repository I set up a long time ago:
14:06 rsoulliere #link https://github.com/rsoulliere/​Evergreen_Documentation_Tools
14:06 rsoulliere #info If anyone else is interested in setting up their own documentation site for testing or experimenting and needs some technical assistance to get started, let me know.
14:06 rsoulliere That is all.
14:07 yboston rsoulliere++
14:07 kmlussier I can go next.
14:07 yboston rsoulliere: I have a comment for you
14:09 yboston I don't want to cause the nightly builds to be broken for several days
14:10 rsoulliere Typos etc... shouldn't bring the whole documentation site to a crash.
14:10 yboston rsoulliere: I guess we can start with a few as see how it goes. So far I just waited until the next day to see if the one page was built successfully.
14:11 rsoulliere I would test locally using the basic ascidoc command and upload if it passes the test.
14:11 rsoulliere I probably would load a bit at a time as you suggest.
14:11 yboston any particular combination of parameters?
14:11 rsoulliere If you notice anything not appearing, let me know via email and I can troubleshoot on the server.
14:12 yboston also, I had issues with the bash source highlighting on OS X, was not sure how to fix

14:27 yboston My elevator speech about the hack-a-way, it was great for getting new folks trained on DIG workflows and asciidoc. It was hard to find small taks for volunteers to work on
14:28 kbutler yboston: Thank you for hosting. I thought it was productive.
14:28 yboston we still have files that were worked on that need to be pushed to the repository
14:28 yboston kbutler: thanks
14:29 yboston I hope by January all of the work that was started (and finished) at the hack-a-way has been integrated to the docs.
14:30 yboston I also hope that it iwllbe easier to find tasks to give to newcomers not that we have a video tutorial to get more people u to speed
14:30 yboston (now that we have)
14:32 yboston Also, at the next conference, we should have a whole day to work on docs. Hope that we can apply other lesson of this hack-a-way to that hackfest
14:32 yboston BTW< thanks to ESI, that was the test server we ended up using the most
14:33 yboston Any comments or questions?
14:35 kmlussier Sounds like you all got a lot accomplished. Nice work!

17:26 ElliotFriend Set it up like that on a new set of servers?
17:26 Dyrcona Do you have a server that you use for testing or development?
17:27 Dyrcona I'd try it out on a test server to start with.
17:27 ElliotFriend Both are VMs. I have a test server that is a clone of the production one
17:27 Dyrcona I'd set it up on the test vm first.
17:27 ElliotFriend I only ever spin up the test one to run through an upgrade, before applying it to production
17:27 ElliotFriend sounds good
17:28 Dyrcona It is about time for me to head home. I can sign back in when I get there if you want to discuss the work flow some more.
17:29 ElliotFriend I think I'm alright. Thanks again! I repeat, Evergreen people sure are swell!

15:42 jeff having to explain to staff/patrons that they may need to edit all outstanding holds if a patron's phone number changes, or if a patron wishes to change their "default" notification options and have it take effect for their current holds just doesn't pass my ridiculousness test.

09:47 paxed add original country = japan  => anime :P
09:47 eeevil paxed: there's a proposed project, yes
09:50 eeevil jeff: so, going back as far as JSON 2.23 (earliest CPAN-able JSON module, Sept 2010) there's a is_bool class function. it's also in both of the available JSON::XS modules. I think we should use that instead of testing the object directly, if it's a scalar ref. should do the right thing in any reasonable version
09:51 dbs So right now we have one icon that means exactly what the string says: "Projected medium" - which could be a magic lantern show, a set of slides, a filmstrip, a vhs tape, a dvd, a bluray, a laserdisc... we don't even use the 007 currently in figuring out what icon to display, IIRC
09:52 jeff urgh. i know i was up too late when AWS doesn't even want me to re-authenticate in the morning.
09:52 dbs I guess if the bulk of your collection is DVD movies, then change the string to "Movies, etc" or something like that?
09:53 bshum Our string is currently a generic "Video recording" which is slightly better sounding I guess.

12:55 ldwhalen Dyrcona: another programmer asked me, and I did not know the answer.
12:56 Dyrcona ldwhalen: There are a lot of configurations for number of drones to run and how many requests a drone can process before it is recycled. While these don't lead to connection limits directly, if you set these too low, it will seem like you have a connection limit.

13:08 Dyrcona I think the last tuit is stuck to my desk via magnet.

13:08 tsbere I didn't run out of tuits. My plans for test hardware fell through. ;)
13:09 Dyrcona heh
13:23 jeff gmcharlt: heh. your new branch and mine in-progress look very similar. this is probably good. :-)
13:24 jeff who needs test hardware when you have spot instances? ;-)
13:24 gmcharlt jeff: yeah, I think main difference is that my branch avoids any direct testing of JSON::{XS,PP}::Boolean
13:25 jeff yeah, mine also. i'll append my additional tests and sign off on what's there and if the tests don't seem ridiculous, great!

11:12 senator csharp: to see what bib call number searches exactly on your system, (it's not the 092 by default) see: select format, xpath from config.metabib_field where field_class = 'identifier' and name = 'bibcn';

11:12 eeevil dbwells: thougts on my final comment on our funtime QP bug? (also, did you see Liam's note about sitka testing?)
11:13 dbwells krvmga: mmorgan: the shelf browse can be tricky.  It uses the non-normalized value to find the "pivot" (that is, the closest match to what the user typed in), then uses the sortkey to sort the surrounding results.
11:14 csharp ours is set to 099 - however, we disable bib cn searching because all of our call numbers are free text and locally set, so we could have many variants on a single bib record

15:30 jeff eeevil: in testing, a self checkout terminal from vendor 3 doesn't seem to care about the "renewal privileges denied" flag. if charge privs are denied, the patron can't use the terminal.
15:32 eeevil jeff: so even if we did the "right" thing with the renew flag and block check, their thing would not act correctly... :(
15:32 jeff eeevil: still worth adjusting our response there to be correct (now that we can), but i suspect i'm also going to add a config option to the sip server to skip over certain standing penalties.
15:33 dMiller_ joined #evergreen
15:35 jeff eeevil: right. i forced OpenILS::SIP::Patron to always return ok for renewal privs, and the terminal still rejected the patron before giving them a chance to renew things.
15:36 janes joined #evergreen
15:37 jeff eeevil: i don't think it would be good to "always ignore this circ-blocking penalty" in a hardcoded sense, since i can only test things on certain clients, but i suspect it'll be a "ignore this block for this penalty type" config option with a suggested default.
15:40 jeff "ignore these penalties completely" might be simpler, at the expense of some expression/flexibility
15:41 eeevil jeff: wonder if it's time to provide a config for each flag allowing "force-Y/force-N/what-ILS-says"
15:41 eeevil in the sip config file
15:41 eeevil that would allow per-client-device tuning
15:42 jeff yes. i'd still like to do per-client config for some things, not all related to this.
15:43 jeff though maybe per-sip-user isn't needed if we can do it now with multiple institutions without too much overhead. not sure i'd thought of that yet.
15:44 eeevil <sip-flags><circ>auto</circ>​<renew>Y</renew></sip-flags> ... default for unconfigured flags being "auto"

17:20 Bmagic|2 jeff: I only ask, because the (Has overdues) comes up for this test patron even without the row in the table
17:20 jeff Bmagic|2: yes, a row in actor.usr_standing_penalty corresponding to the user in question with the standing penalty type in question is what i'd expect to see for a user with that penalty

12:07 bshum And then it doesn't update the field with the actual user's email when you key in different barcodes.
12:07 bshum If the staff member does have an email, it starts with their email, and then keying in different patrons updates the field accordingly
12:08 bshum My thinking is a bug since 2.4's rewrite of the code in that area
12:08 bshum And maybe it's just not initializing the email variable (or refreshing it if it starts as NULL)

11:06 senator cool. thanks for testing and all in the first place
11:06 bshum As far as milestones go though
11:06 bshum I think I'll go ahead and make new ones for you if you don't think the maintainers will repackage.
11:07 bshum Because otherwise, it could easily get lost in shuffles
11:07 * senator pings them about it real quick
11:07 bshum Okay, I'll wait a bit then
11:07 dbwells Yeah, I looked at it, and really couldn't remember.  It seems odd that the series targetting doesn't show up in any of the listed change history.  Sorry if I dropped the ball on it.
11:08 senator no problem. didn't mean to make it a blame-y thing for anybody, just wanted to be sure i still have the right idea of what the test/merge/backport practice is
11:09 eeevil I have something that I'd like to get into 2.4 sooner rather than later as well, and since we haven't updated the downloads page, or committed the tag versions, we could announce a delay and release early next week.
11:11 bshum Sounds good to me.
11:11 eeevil wrapping is a pain, but waiting another month on known bugs is worse
14:57 tsbere jeff: Ditto that here. <_<

15:06 berick bshum: if you have a non-active tree or a tree with entries, the bug will not manifest
15:06 bshum berick: Gotcha.
15:06 bshum So really I'll test with a clean system then.
15:07 berick bshum++
15:07 bshum Ah right... forgot I had to reload apache to see it take effect
15:07 bshum Yep, okay

11:09 jeff thus, unless there are other overdue circs that are past the grace period, the fine generator will not trigger a calcualtion of system penalties.
11:10 jeff that's probably what's causing what you're seeing.
11:10 Bmagic jeff: That is the issue then
11:11 jeff and it's a bit of an inconsistency, since a manual recalc will add the penalty. we should probably determine if the penalty should count overdues within the grace or not.
11:11 jeff while this is based on a reading of the code and my current understanding of things, please keep in mind that i haven't tested this theory. :-)
11:12 Bmagic jeff: right on, sound like an interesting debackle
11:12 Bmagic jeff: right on, sound like an interesting debacle
11:19 Bmagic jeff: For now, it sounds like I can use that script that you directed me to on a cronjob? Long term, perhaps the code for fine_generator.pl could be discussed in dev?

12:18 jeff anyone present using non-3M SIP-based self checkout terminals? i'm wondering how other vendors react to "charge privileges denied" in the patron status field.
12:19 jboyer-isl JCPL was running Bibliotheca machines when I left. If you've some simple steps to test what you're interested in I could pass them on.
12:20 jeff in evergreen, standing penalties 1 and 2, as well as any standing penalty with a non-empty block list will result in "charge privileges denied" being set to Y.
12:20 jeff (this is for standing penalties with an org_unit based on the home_ou and ancestors of the patron in question)
12:21 jeff so, if you define a max items out limit of 40, a patron with 40 items out has a standing penalty which blocks circ.
12:22 jeff i'm interested in changing the behavior on the evergreen side of things, and would like to better understand how other SIP clients react to "charge privileges denied"
12:23 jeff so, it would be interesting to know if patrons with the max number of items out can use a bibliotheca terminal, or if they're refused outright.
12:27 eeevil jeff: sound primarily like the impedance mismatch between SIP2 and ILSen, where the latter has a separate idea of "renewal" but the former does not, and ties renewal to "charge privileges" ... some ILSs lie about the patron's status and deny circs at attempt time, which the EG SIPServer driver could do, I suppose
12:30 jeff huge impedance mismatch, yes.
12:30 jeff and eg does reject at attempt time, of course.
12:31 jeff and (at least in our environment) we do have at least one case where we want to alert when the patron scans their card -- when they're expired.
12:31 jeff i'm going to reach out to 3M to see if they can provide more details, but thought i'd seek out others with other vendors here. i don't see sal_, but maybe I'll e-mail her.
12:33 jeff incidentally, there is also a "renewal privileges denied", which... oh hey, which evergreen sets to match the charge privileges denied value. i suppose it's time to test.
12:34 jeff because if i can make evergreen "do the right thing" with regard to renewals being permitted as long as there isn't a RENEW-blocking ausp, that would be logical and would avoid a new config for "don't report these standing penalties" or similar.
12:35 jeff semi-related, does anyone know if we've ever populated a csp block value of INET, or is that just something in our db?
12:37 jeff _bott_: any idea about the INET block type on some standing penalties? was that a GRPL/ME thing?

14:39 bshum I occasionally dabble looking at our yaz logs to see what people search against when they look at our z39.50 from EG
14:39 jeff not a particularly focused or productive question, but something i've been thinking about a little bit.
14:40 tsbere jeff: I find that answer varies. Including on "who you ask". Some people insist that no logic should be done in the DB other than what is required for things like foreign key relationships and not null constraints and such, after all.
14:41 jeff sure, there's purists like that. i wasn't asking from that point of view. :-)
14:42 jeff i suspect that things like in-db ingest are not cpu bound, but haven't tested. it might be.
14:55 mceraso This may be a silly question, but I'm asking anyway :) Would it be okay to join the merchandising committee for Evergreen? Rogan sent out an email yesterday

13:40 eeevil dconnor: reducing queries is great. there are already several mechanisms for running arbitrary queries that don't suffer from injection attacks
13:47 RoganH_ joined #evergreen
13:56 jeff dconnor: going back to my earlier suggestion -- a json query lets you construct a query at the perl layer that returns fieldmapper objects that you can then use without further need to parse/map them. i can't guarantee that you can do everything in a json query that you are doing in your asset.get_holdings_maintenance_page function, but at first glance I think it's do-able.
13:56 jeff might be worth testing and comparing performance / complexity.

16:03 bshum Callender: Can you describe the situation you encountered that led to bug 1251424 ?
16:05 Callender but for some libraries, that button would still be greyed out and you couldn't make a hold for yourself
16:05 bshum Callender: In the staff client, that's expected I would think... unless you click the radio button to say "Place this hold for me (insert my name here)"
16:05 Callender but if you first clicked the radio button for making it for another patron, and then clicked back to yourself, without ever even entering anything, then the place hold would open up
16:05 bshum Or you keyed in a barcode that actually worked
16:06 * bshum tests
16:06 Callender it doesn't always do that though.. my test system and other systems I tested, you can go in and place hold for yourself just fine
16:06 bshum Oh I see what you're saying now.
16:06 Callender it was just certain circumstances that I couldn't re-create.. but it always happened for certain libraries.. it was a very weird bug
16:07 Callender that change I made on launchpad, that fixed it across the board on systems I tested it on, and didn't seem to harm systems that weren't broken. I need someone though familiar with the code to kind of double check what I'm doing there
16:09 bshum Yeah, I was able to reproduce the issue now.
16:10 bshum The radio button starts with the placing hold for someone else.
16:10 bshum But if you click on the option for placing a hold for the staff account itself
16:10 bshum Sometimes it wouldn't change the color right away
16:10 bshum Callender++ # the change works as you described.
16:10 Callender ok, I'm glad you were able to see it.. beacuse this one drove me crazy for a little while :)
16:10 bshum If memory serves, this probably affects 2.4 and 2.5 only
16:15 bshum Your description confused me at first
16:15 bshum Cause I thought maybe your change made the submit button always available again.
16:15 bshum Which it shouldn't be.
16:15 bshum But testing seems to bear out no issues on my end so far.
