If you are like me, you often want to rebase, or pull from a repo but have a bunch of local changes you don’t want to commit (yet) but also don’t want to lose, well git-stash is your answer.
This is really handy when working on Koha, you don’t have to muck around with local commits that get in your way when you are making patches to send upstream.
I had a bit of a play with some profiling tools and Koha today. This is the output when running a profiler over mainpage.pl. Looks like some nice optimisation could be done there.
You can read the release notes here and download from
download.koha.org. As always report bugs on the Koha bugzilla
This is slightly old news, but cool nonetheless.
This is a very important day in the life of the Nelson Memorial Public Library with the launching of this management system called Koha, Ms Godinet said in her speech yesterday.
Our library opens from Monday-Friday from 8.30am to 5pm and Saturday from 8.30am to 12pm.
Koha means our library never closes our catalogue as it is now available 24/7 for all Samoans and anyone interested in Samoa.”

Using the great service provided at repo.or.cz Ive set up a mirror of the public git repository. Here’s the http://repo.or.cz/w/koha.git mirror.
I spent a bit of time working on getting this going tonight, nearly there, I just have to do a couple more bits of configuration and I should have it all up and running.
The main stumbling block is not having git on the hostgator server, so Ill just have to make releases on my home machine and copy them over and upgrade. Not too bad. In fact I’ve set up a cron job to do just that. So ill have nightly releases here.
UPDATE
Getting yaz to compile on hostgator so I can install the Zoom module is proving to be a stumbling block.
UPDATE 2
Ok, hostgator won’t install Yaz, and without a c compiler its a bit tricky to do a local install, i’ll have to try a different tack.
I checked out the ohcount source code from the git repository today and ran it over the Koha git repository, quite interesting.

Next months perl monger meeting is going to be lightning talks. I’m thinking to do one on Koha, it hs to be a maximum of 5 minutes long, so it’ll be fun to squeeze it into that. If I do one, ill post the text up here.
Tomorrow is my last day at work in my current job. I start a new job on March 3rd. I will still be hacking on Koha, but not as my day job anymore, just in my spare time. It’s all pretty hectic at the moment trying to finish everything off, so not many patches from me at the moment. Once things get settled down I’ll be getting back into it.
I spent some time the other night working on the Koha bot to get it to work with the new search API in Koha 3.0. So now you can fire the bot up, and it will hop on AIM and then people can query your catalogue through it.
Next is getting the login function going again so you can use the bot to check what items you have overdue etc.
