[Koha-devel] Translator tool, changing ?

2013-03-07 Thread Paul Poulain
Hello koha-devel  koha-translate,

Users translating Koha to french are regularly reporting that pootle is
a poor tool, not very efficient.
Someone suggested transifex, that is free for OpenSource softwares
(https://www.transifex.com)

I just opened an account, created a koha project, added french
translation for 3.12

It seems *much* more friendly  efficient than pootle.
Is there someone wanting to investigate a little bit more this tool ?
(if yes, create an account  drop me a mail with your transifex nick)
Could switching to this tool be a good idea ?

[Koha-devel] db from 3.8.5 to 3.8.10

2013-03-07 Thread Paul
I found a [minor?] problem with the 3.8.10 tarball on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS on 
my sandbox after restoring a 3.8.5 mysql dump from our production box, at 
which point 'installer' does its magic.  All the biblios appear to transfer 
correctly ('mysql select biblionumber from biblio;' gave identical 
results; same with author, etc.) The standard CRON job runs successfully.


Problem: a small number of biblios went missing in 3.8.10. It *seemed* to 
be limited to 'serials' but I can't be sure, as I could only find them on a 
'hit or miss basis' -- in fact I only found the first one accidentally: 
e.g. a biblio and three items for the serial Flugsport could not be found 
by title, by author, by Barcode, by author in authorities ... even No 
results match your search for 'biblionumber=19762' in NMA Catalog.  Yet, 
run a Koha report:


SELECT * FROM biblioitems, biblio, items WHERE biblio.biblionumber=19762 
AND biblioitems.biblionumber=19762 AND items.biblionumber=19762


and everything was there, including the blobs, MARC, XML ...

A full c/l re-index -a -r -v and -b -r -v -x solves the problem. As I can 
reproduce this behaviour (by restoring the same dump) is there anything 
helpful that I could look into?  Could this be related to Bug 9511? The fix 
does not appear to work for me, I've just updated bugzilla.


Thanks - Paul

The only weakness I see in transifex is that if they ever change their
model to start charging FOSS projects, they've got the data and can cause
some mischief.  If we want to change from Pootle, but still control the
server/data, take a look at http://weblate.org.  The interface is a little
like Pootle, but I'll leave judgment calls up to the people that actually
*use* it; I just know a peer who has used it, and liked it.

Without having tried it, I don't like the SaaS-only approach of
Transifex, and I especially do not like it in conjunction with the
slogan »Take control of your localization experience«.

There is no way we can just switch the translation platform. I'm all
for trying alternatives as I agree Pootle is not much fun to work
with, but those should be tested carefully. And I would really
prefer a platform under our control over one that only claims to be
and looks like it is the opposite.

This doesn't sound like a bug. When restoring a dump you *must* completely
reindex from the command line. Always. There are no exceptions.

Yay, you remembered the name :) I didn't :( We briefly talked about
it last december
http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/2012-12-10#i_1143014

I still think we should try it, but I have something like no time at
all until at least April

PS. we should decide on one list to continue this discussion, I
would say koha-translate seems more appropriate?

I agree it's a big concern. Isn't
http://help.transifex.com/features/api/index.html at least partially
answering it ? (I haven't checked what it provides)

will try to have a look (is someone else want, please do !)

Sorry, I wasn't clear. After restoring the dump and running 'installer', 
the -z -x CRON functions with 99% [???] accuracy. What I'm looking at is 
any possible similarity of Zebra behaviour to try and get the CRON 
working in 3.8.10 which is reported on bugzilla 9511 to be functional for 
two libraries that have updated from 3.8.5, but does not (for me) resolve 
the problem of deleted biblios, nor of overwriting an existing biblio with 
a Z39.50 import.


I've been chasing around after a solution for a couple of days (part time) 
with no success whatsoever. Maybe I'm grasping at straws?


Our volunteers are adding 150-200 biblios per day, 7/7, many of which are 
Z39.50 overwriting of embryonic data from previously importing 
spreadsheets into 3.4.6, and regrouping items (particularly serials) under 
a single biblio.  I find that I'm asked about once an hour on average to 
completely re-index and am somewhat desperate to find a programmatic 
solution.


I appreciate any/all suggestions.

Paul, we've been through 3.8.0 to 3.8.10 without any issues. Doing a full
rebuild should make your registers appear. rebuild_zebra.pl is just not a
fullrebuild, but an incremental one.

We recently had local Koha user group meeting at which we tried to
