I have been given the task of checking an install of koha running on a recently installed Debian server. The instance is a 3.19 snapshot installed from a deb from koha-community.org running on Debian 7.7 (Wheezy). I'd like to upgrade the OS to Debian 8 (Jessie), which has recently been released as stable. I came across a message from Robin, which I can't find now, to the effect that a dependency issue required a patch which was due to land in 3.18.06. So after I take a backup, I'm going to (up)grade koha to 3.18.06 and the OS to 8.0. Is anyone aware of outstanding issues running this configuration? The wiki documentation at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian seems out of date, further down the page it talks about squeeze and even lenny. I assume stable packages are targeted for wheezy or both wheezy and squeeze. If there are no objections, I'll update that page to refer to wheezy instead, and put a note to the effect that it should be possible to run it on jessie but as of April 2015 it's a less well tested configuration than running on Wheezy. Thanks, Alex

This patch is in 3.18.06.2, which is in the repo now.

I'm not, however I've only tested package installation, I haven't actually brought a system up to running. So you should give it a go and see how it works out for you :)

Stable packages are targeted for everything. I'm going to replace the content of that page with this one pretty soon: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Talk:Koha_on_Debian#Debian_Packages_on_K...

I'd kinda prefer that you review the new version and update that if you feel things need correction :) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
Greetings, I got my git dev install running on Debian Jessie.
Is anyone aware of outstanding issues running this configuration?
I encountered a 403 error trying to get past the web install step, but this helped: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Gitified_insta... I also encountered zebra indexing issues, which Robin helped me by reminding me of: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Zebra#No_such_record_typ... Tweaking the two dom config files and a full reindex later, I'm rather happy. GPML, Mark Tompsett

That only applies to a git install.

This does seem to be a problem in jessie. Easy enough to work around, but I'll try to figure out a real solution (which is tricky as it must be backwards compatible.) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

It's a problem in other linux distributions as well, such as openSUSE. The only hard coded references to files not installed by Koha are the idzebra modules and the DejaVu fonts. (Having the wrong location for the fonts causes failures in "make test") Perhaps you should do something like "find / -xdev -name mod-dom.so 2>/dev/null" and "find / -xdev -name DejaVuSans.ttf 2>/dev/null" to find out where they are. -- Bob

Other Linux distributions can't use the Debian packages to start with, which is primarily where my concern lies :) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
