New Debian packages and new Debian packages maintainer.
by Robin Sheat 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi folks, I've taken over maintenance of the Debian Koha packages, and just did my first upload to them. These packages track the git master branch, and I'll be updating them every so often, hopefully about once a week or so. Perhaps more if I get the whole process into one script. Anyway, if you've been using these packages, Debian will probably start complaining that the signature has changed. The key that I'm using has the details: pub 1024D/A99CEB6D 2004-09-26 [vervaldatum: 2012-09-21] Vingerafdruk van de Sleutel = 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D uid Robin Sheat <robin(a)kallisti.net.nz> uid Robin Sheat <robin(a)ufies.org> uid Robin Sheat (work) <robin(a)catalyst.net.nz> uid Robin Sheat <robin.sheat(a)member.fsf.org> sub 2048g/DF7647FD 2004-09-26 [vervaldatum: 2012-09-21] To tell Debian it's OK to use, run: wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add - (all on one line.) Don't forget to file bugs if you discover any issues with the packages, I'm slowly learning how this whole packaging process works. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204

Hello. Sorry, I seem to have misplaced the telephone number to call you back about SQL reports. Unfortunately, I don't think I can help as I'm not very good at getting the reports module to work as I want either. Most of the SQL reports on the custom reports page in the wiki are tried and true by other libraries. You might be able to adapt one to your needs by just replacing a search term. Lenora

Re: [Koha] Hello, 995 setup

All templates don't use marc fields/subfileds but the SQL coloums. So, with the liking between Koha and MySQL you can use the fields/subfileds that you want, for the templates. This is not tha same on XSLT views and indexes [i use code of 3.2, because in fact you are on a 3.2 as I have undestand from BibLibre] XSLT is based on marc subfield. So if you have Biblionumber and biblioitemnumber are in 999, you have also a personal version of xslt/UNIMARCslim2OPACDetail.xsl and xslt/UNIMARCslim2OPACResults.xsl. The standard version use 090 with this instruction: <xsl:variable name="biblionumber" select="marc:datafield[@tag=090]/marc:subfield[@code='a']"/> The standard indexes are 995$2 lost,lost:n,item 995$a homebranch,Host-item,item 995$b homebranch,Host-item,item 995$c holdingbranch,Record-Source,item 995$d holdingbranch,Record-Source,item 995$e location,item 995$f barcode,item 995$h ccode,item 995$j LC-card-number:s,item 995$k Call-Number,Local-Classification,lcn,Call-Number:p,Local-Classification:p,lcn:p,item 995$s popularity:n,popularity:s,item 995$n onloan:d,onloan:n,onloan:s,onloan:w,item 995$u Note,Note:p,item Your defintion of 995$2 and 995$s are not coherent with the standard indexes >2 Price -> items.price >s CallNumSource -> items.cn_source In fact is not a problem you have a different configuration, you need only to know it. In fact my proposal doesn't want to be used as is. I want only to setup a minumun tha has as many useful default as possible. Others opinions on the topic ?

Hello, 995 setup
by BERNON Jean 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hi all, My name is Jean Bernon. I am the director of a French university library, Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3. We are using Koha for circulation and catalog since April 2010. I shall send few messages to the list because my main job is not working with Koha. But an Italian librarian Zeno Tajoli sent a question about 995 setup in French libraries and asked for we reply on the general list. Here is my answer. Hi Zeno, Fixing a common use of 995 tag is a good idea but uneasy to do. Local fields are... local. I am not sure that there is ONE French setup for 995. Here is the University Lyon 3 setup for 995, very different from yours. 1 Fund 2 Price -> items.price 3 DateLastSeen -> items.datelastseen 4 IssuesNumber -> items.issues 5 StatisticCode -> items.statisticvalue 6 EntryDate -> items.dateaccessioned 7 UpdateDate -> items.timestamp 8 LastIssueDate -> items.datelastborrowed 9 itemnumber -> items.itemnumber b HomeBranch -> items.homebranch d HoldingBranch -> items.holdingbranch f BarCode -> items.barcode i CallNumSuffix j Location -> items.location k CallNum -> items.itemcallnumber l CallNumPrefix -> items.materials n DueDate -> items.onloan o Availability -> items.notforloan r LoanRule -> items.itype s CallNumSource -> items.cn_source u ItemNote -> items.itemnotes v Damaged -> items.damaged w Lost -> items.itemlost z Withdrawn -> items.wthdrawn Biblionumber and biblioitemnumber are in 999 and not 099 We use a bibliographic ccode in 319 to limit searching by document type. 319 according to the format of the University national catalog SUDOC. I like some of your fields : URI, bibliographic entry and update dates. In order to be complete, I have to say that your proposal agrees with the history of 995 tag. French librarians from public libraries first used 995 to establish a common recommandation and you can have a look at the genuine recommandation<http://www.adbdp.asso.fr/spip.php?article674> Bye Jean Bernon Université Jean Moulin Lyon3 -----Message d'origine----- De : infos-bounces(a)listes.koha-fr.org [mailto:infos-bounces@listes.koha-fr.org] De la part de Zeno Tajoli Envoyé : mardi 13 juillet 2010 16:08 À : infos(a)listes.koha-fr.org Objet : [koha-Infos] To define default 9xx fields for Unimarc setup in all languages Hi to all [Sorry for the english but I don't konw French] I sent this mail to different Koha-mailing list because the topic is quite wide. If you are also on koha-dev list, replaty to this list. Instead replay on koha general list. I send the mail also to koha-france because many user of Unimarc are French. But I don't know French, please replay to koha general list or to koha-dev. Today the complete Unimarc setups are the English and French, As I know Italian, Ukrain, Russian and Poland setups are direct translation of English or Frence setup But on local fields English and French are not compatible. Many 9xx fields need to be the same in different languages because the indexes definitions in the file etc/zebradb/marc_defs/unimarc/biblios/record.abs are based on specific 9xx values. And the file record.abs is only one for all Unimarc setup So my proposal, for 3.2 and also [if possible ] for 3.0.x We re-write English setup in 9xx fields and we use it a minimun and a standard that ALL unimarc setups need to follow. It means that we need same change also to French setup. I want to discuss with everyone about this topic. I will write all the patch to fix the situation. So my proposal: Fields: 001 Local number -> biblio.biblionumber 090$a Local number -> biblioitems.biblioitemnumber 099$c date of creation -> biblio.datecreated 099$d Date/time last modified -> biblio.timestamp 995$0 Withdrawn status -> items.wthdrawn 995$2 Lost status -> items.itemlost 995$3 Use restrictions -> items.restricted 995$5 Date acquired -> items.dateaccessioned 995$6 Copy number -> items.copynumber 995$7 URI -> items.uri 995$8 Koha collection -> items.ccode 995$9 Internal item number -> items.itemnumber 995$a Homebranch (free text) ->items.homebranch 995$b Homebranch (coded) 995$d Holding branch (free text) -> items.holdingbranch 995$d Holding branch (coded) 995$e Shelving location-> items.location 995$f Barcode -> items.barcode 995$j Inventory number -> items.stocknumber [only 3.2] 995$k Call number -> items.itemcallnumber, 995$l Numbering (volume or other part) -> items.materials 995$m Date of loan or deposit -> items.datelastborrowed 995$n Expiration of loan date -> items.onloan 995$o Circulation type (not for loan) -> items.notforloan 995$r Type of item and material -> items.itype 995$v Serial Enumeration / chronology -> items.enumchron [only serials] 995$u Copy note -> items.itemnotes 942$0 Koha issues (borrowed), all copies -> biblioitems.totalissues 942$2 Source of classification or shelving scheme -> biblioitems.cn_source 942$6 Koha normalized classification for sorting -> biblioitems.cn_sort 942$c Koha [default] item type -> biblioitems.itemtype 942$s Serial record flag -> biblio.serial 1)Fields 001 and 090$a, BIB Identifier in two places As French setup, to ahve a correct Unimarc we need BIB id in two places: 001 -> biblio.biblionumber 090 $9 -> biblioitems.biblioitemnumber biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber must be numerir, we need to stress this fact in data conversions 2)Field 995 as item field with those subfields: This proposal is full compatible with French Unimarc setup and it has also the items subfields that are mandatory for circulation, inventory, acquisitions and serials. 3)Field 942 as biblio/item field. This field is new for all unimarc setup, in english unimarc setup there is 990 but 990 is similar, not identical. I select 942 instead of 990 because 990 is present in French setup with a specific meaning. I ask to French people to accept to put biblioitems.totalissues in 942$0, it is the base of the popularity index. Now the base of popularity index is in 995$s. This proposal is only a minimum, if you think there are others 9xx fields/subfields that MUST be present in every setup, please replay. If you want to discuss it, please replay.

Koha page not accessible on other machines on the intranet
by Mutsikiwa Admire 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hi I have successfully installed koha on Debian 5 and it is accessible only on the host machine when I type the FQDN on the browser on the host machine. However when I try to access the OPAC by typing http://FQDN/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl it spits in the error logs the message " script not found or unable to stat : /usr/lib/cgi-bin/koha". And surely the file /usr/lib/cgi-bin/koha does not exist. My koha is installed in /usr/share/koha. I know I could solve the problem by syslinking /usr/lib/cgi-bin/koha to a target file/directoru but I cannot tell which one. Please assist.
