[Koha] Just did an update and have some questions

[Doug Dearden]

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for responding.  I thought maybe I asked too many questions in one post so decided to break them up.  I will be more patient in the future. ☺

When I execute perl koha_perl_deps.pl –a   it returns  Can’t open perl script “koha_perl_deps.pl”: No such file or directory .  I’m not sure why this is the case.  I have been using Koha since version 3.4.  My current install was originally done when I moved to new hardware.  I installed Debian Jessie and Koha 16.50.00 .  I moved the database from the old hardware and let things update.  All of that worked automatically.  I think these Perl Modules were probably missing then but I didn’t address it.  I recently upgraded because of the auto increment problem and decided to address the missing modules and other warnings highlighted on the About pages.

Thinking about a bug report I checked Bugzilla, and found some bugs relating to this that make me think it is by design that some of these are not included in the packaging.  https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16588 is named “Remove the Readonly dependency (again)”.

Test::DBIx::Class is apparently not packaged in Debian - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18851

We don’t use OverDrive so not having WebService::ILS installed is probably unimportant.

I’m not sure where the test suite is used.  Is this something needed on a regular production database, or only on a dev install?  In any case HTTPD::BENCH::ApacheBench didn’t get installed during the update or when I installed koha-perldeps .  Again maybe by design.

Everything is running OK so perhaps none of these missing Perl modules are important.

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug,

Please wait a few days before reposting :)

The fix is for all Koha versions, yes.

The required module are listed as... 'required' when you execute `perl koha_perl_deps.pl<http://koha_perl_deps.pl> -a`

HTTPD::BENCH::ApacheBench and Test::DBIx::Class are for the test suite
WebService::ILS is for OverDrive
and Readonly::XS is an xs module for Readonly

With `apt show koha-common`, I see libreadonly-perl and libreadonly-xs-perl in the dependency list.

Regards,
Jonathan

Hello all,

I just updated to the current stable release 17.05.02 running on Debian version 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19) x86_64 and I have some questions:
It looks like the fix for the DBMS auto increment problem is included in this release.  Do I still need to implement the solution from https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix ?
I have 2 duplicates in one of my DB instances.  If I fix those are there any concerns going forward?
On the Perl Modules tab there are four modules reading Not Installed -  HTTPD::BENCH::ApacheBench, Readonly::XS, Test::DBIx::Class, WebService::ILS .  Are these modules needed on a non-dev install?  If so, why didn't they install with the koha-common package?  Do I need to install them via CPAN?

Thanks,
