If you have any language specific or MARC variant specific Koha frameworks for sharing so that others may benefit from your frameworks in forthcoming Koha 3.0, the frameworks export script is now ready for multiple operating systems. Obtain the latest version of the Koha 2.2.X MARC Frameworks Export Script for your operating system. The export script should function from any system with mysqldump and access to the database as the Koha user given in koha.conf . The only essential requirement is having mysqldump included in the system $PATH when running the script. [A possible later version may allow specifying the path to mysqldump as a user option if someone thinks that is needed.] Koha does not need to be installed on the system running the script nor does it even need Perl. 1. OPERATING SYSTEM SPECIFIC SCRIPT VARIANTS. 1.2. UNIX BASED VERSION. For Unix based systems (Unix, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, etc.) download the latest version of export_framework.sh. http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/koha/misc/export_frameworks.sh?view=log&root=koha&pathrev=rel_2_2 For installation requirements type: export_frameworks.sh -? i For help type: export_frameworks.sh -? For usage examples type: export_frameworks.sh -? e 1.2. MICROSOFT WINDOWS VERSION. For Microsoft Windows systems (Unix, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, etc.) download the latest version of export_framework.bat for use as a script run from the command line console. http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/koha/misc/export_frameworks.bat?view=log&root=koha&pathrev=rel_2_2 For installation requirements type: export_frameworks.bat -? i The installation requirements message explains how to obtain and install the bsdtar for Win32 dependency which is not needed for the Unix version of the script. For help type: export_frameworks.bat -? For usage examples type: export_frameworks.bat -? e 2. FINAL INSTRUCTIONS. Upon completion, after a few seconds, the script gives a specific message about where to send an email with the exported frameworks file attached so that it may be edited for inclusion as part of Koha 3.0 to share with everyone. If anything goes wrong, an appropriate error message is displayed. Please contact me on or off list if you have any questions or need assistance using the script.

If you have any language specific or MARC variant specific Koha frameworks for sharing, please contact me on or off the list. LibLime has asked me to prepare whatever MARC frameworks I can obtain for use in the forthcoming version of Koha 3.0. Share yours so that others do not need to do redundant work.
[MARC frameworks are either bibliographic or authorities frameworks and go by various names in Koha depending upon how you access them. In the system administration intranet interface, they are identified as Biblio framework (MARC structure) for bibliographic frameworks or Thesaurus structure for authorities. In the installation directories, they have names such as structure_def.sql for bibliographic frameworks or authorities_normal_marc.sql for authorities.]
I will supply very simple instructions for exporting your frameworks from your SQL database if you need such assistance.
