IRC developer meeting for October 2009 - Minutes
Date: 2009-10-16
Time: 10:00 - 12:32 EDT
Agenda: http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:meetings:2009-10
- Meeting called to order by Dan Scott (dbs) at 10:01 AM EDT
- Release status for 1.6
- Acquisitions issues brought up by George Duimovich on mailing list
- Bill Erickson (berick) noted that the Acquisitions functionality in 1.6 is meant as a preview only; therefore, reported bugs are not considered showstoppers for the 1.6 release
- Most Acquisitions features are backported to the rel_1_6 branch; anything critically broken will be backported to rel_1_6_0 branch.
- Warren Layton (wlayton) noted that, of the four issues, one appeared to be already fixed, and only one would be a problem for staff using the interface
- Bill Erickson noted that some of the issues are probably already fixed in the post-1.6 branch
- ACTION: (Bill Erickson or Dan Scott) Put the reported bugs in Trac for now for later follow-up
- Repke's Authority Import Problems with Vandelay
- Authority import with Vandelay is expected to work
- Question of whether some assumptions about incoming records need to be documented to avoid confusion
- No one had yet attempted to reproduce Repke's problem
- Anoop Atre (moodaepo) said that Karen Schneider (kgs) said that Repke's authority record import was attempted on the DIG server, which may be handy info for debugging
- ACTION: Dan Scott to add Repke's records to the test datasets
- ACTION: Bill Erickson to test the upload on most recent rel_1_6_0_0 to confirm whether problem is fixed
- ACTION: (?) Test on DIG server (try to reproduce); contact mrpeters-isl for help with server-side logs, etc. for debugging help
- Invalid date of birth
- Galen Charlton (gmcharlt) reported a problem when an invalid birth date is entered (e.g., 2009-11-31).
- Result is a pop-up alert window, which signals to the user that there is a problem.
- If user ignores pop-up and continues to save patron with invalid birthday, stack trace is displayed with "DATABASE_UPDATE_FAILED" error
- Not considered a showstopper
- ACTION: (?) File as a bug for post-1.6.0.0
- ACTION: (?) Delegate investigation + fix to Galen Charlton (gmcharlt) as he is alleged to have said: "if nobody picks it up in the next couple days, I might try my hand at a fix"
- Conify - Changing and Saving Hours of Operation and Addresses for Org Units
- Warren Layton (wlayton) submitted a patch to fix the hours of operation, which Mike Rylander (miker_) applied
- Trac Ticket #68 is still open against trunk for hours of operation but rel_1_6_0_0 works
- Testing required to determine if aouhoo updating works in trunk
- Currently unable to save addresses - patch required
- Questions about "isnew" functions not working
- ACTION: Warren Layton (wlayton) to put together a patch during the weekend of 2009-10-17 to 2009-10-18 to fix addresses in Conify
- ACTION: Warren Layton (wlayton) to try to determine why "isnew" and other such functions no longer work and report back to Mike Rylander and other core developers
- OpenSRF 1.2.0.0 Needs to be Released
- Dan Scott (dbs) noted that this agenda item was added before the realization that a tarball for the OpenSRF 1.2.0.0 release was already publicly available
- Shawn Boyette (sboyette) noted that he has been working on OpenSRF testing in trunk:
- Shawn Boyette offered to defer discussion of testing until the "Release Process" agenda item
- Releasing a second 1.6 release candidate (RC2)
- Dan Scott (dbs) asked whether a second release candidate would be released for 1.6.0.0
- Mike Rylander (miker_) noted that 1.6.0.0 is in production already (in Indiana)
- Mike would prefer to cut a 1.6.0.0 release now and focus on 1.6.0.1 for any remaining bug fixes (after Conify ACTION item for Warren Layton complete [see 1.4, above])
- Dan Scott (dbs) noted that a call for translations could be put out at the same time as a final 1.6.0.0 release
- Dan Scott (dbs) asked Mike Rylander (miker_) if he was planning to the build the 1.6.0.0 tarball and if he needed any help (e.g., release process, release notes, upgrade notes)
- Mike Rylander (miker_) stated that he's planning on doing it, but would appreciate more eyes on the release notes
- Bill Erickson (berick) posted release notes for 1.6.0.0-rc1, for reference:
- Bill Erickson noted that the RC1 release notes about about 95% of the final release notes
- Dan Scott noted that it would be a good idea to have someone else package a release (to spread knowledge), but not for this release
- Side note: Mike Rylander noted that 1.4.0.7 will be released very shortly, which may be released before 1.6.0.0
- 1.4.0.7 and 1.6.0.0 releases expect week of October 19-23.
- Mike Rylander would like to see more autonomous release dates for OpenSRF and Evergreen (currently, OpenSRF releases are timed with Evergreen releases)
- Jason Etheridge (phasefx_) wanted to backport two minor fixes to 1.6.0.0
- Jeff Godin (jeff) asked what "Formal support for IE8" meant in the 1.6.0.0 release notes
- Mike Rylander (miker_) responded that it referred to http/https cleanups for the My Account page in the OPAC
- ACTION: Mike Rylander to share draft of 1.6.0.0 release notes with volunteers
- ACTION: Dan Scott to help Mike Rylander with i18n stuff
- ACTION: Jason Etheridge (phasefx_) to backport two fixes before release date (more relaxed "key" for oils_persist; bug fix for fleshing un-rendered list rows when scrolled into visibility)
