Re: [Koha] [Info] What's going on at indexdata.com?
Hi, Andrew, thanks for sending this. I'll try to apply something along these lines to the next ZOOM-Perl release.

We are still in the process of moving offices, and in that connection we cleaned up some old machines that were not (supposed to be) used. test.indexdata.com is officially dead.

Hi Mike and Heikki -
Thanks for running the test.indexdata.com that helps test this perl module. I hope you can come up with a replacement soon.
In the meantime, I'm attaching a patch that attempts to check to see if the test server is available before running tests against it. Would you consider applying a patch like this sometime soon?
Please let me know if you'd like the code to check for the test server in a different way, or for the test scripts to be arranged differently. Also, if you would like for me to make diffs against a code repository please point me to it. I was unable to find mention of one in the documentation.
Thanks again for your work on this module. It really makes Koha much better.
-Andy

Hi Mike - For some reason, those were the only two that were failing for me. It appears to me that is the same situation reported by people such as in this report: http://markmail.org/message/etddwauyslmebk72 Actually, I didn't really really check the other test scripts for instances of "test.indexdata.com". Now that I grep for it a bit, they appear to be the only scripts that use it. Should some of the other test scripts be connecting to a live server? Thanks for your attention to this. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help you out. -Andy

OK, I see what's going on -- the "packages" scripts run against a different server from the others, one where they have read-write access, and that server's gone away. So the correct thing to do is: (A) Set up a new server that has that stuff on it. (B) Change the ZOOM-Perl test-suite to use that server. (C) Maybe ... modify the test-suite so that the absence of any server does not cripple it. I'm on it. _/|_ ___________________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@indexdata.com> http://www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ "Everything should be made as simple as possible ... and no simpler" -- Albert Einstein.

Hi, Andy. Sorry this took a while to get sorted out, but the new ZOOM-Perl is now released -- version 1.25 at http://search.cpan.org/~mirk/Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.25/ and has a modified test-suite, which tests the Extended Services stuff against a newly installed server rather than the defunct test.indexdata.com. All tests should now work correctly again. _/|_ ___________________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@indexdata.com> http://www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ "Then, you must chop down the mightiest tree in the forest ... with ... a herring!" -- Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
