[Koha] Koha frameworks internationalisation

[Thomas Dukleth]

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.
