Hi Nigel, "I'm going to do this in a docker container" is what I say for most of my code projects (at home and the office). So long as you're not working with SystemD, it generally makes everything easier.
I think this wiki page might describe the process best: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_workflow And for the practical aspect of submitting the patch, you'll want to look at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration Let us know if you have any issues. Once your patch is accepted, you'll also join this list: https://git.koha-community.org/stats/koha-master/authors.html David Cook Senior Software Engineer Prosentient Systems Suite 7.03 6a Glen St Milsons Point NSW 2061 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595 -----Original Message----- From: Nigel Titley <ni...@titley.com> Sent: Friday, 11 August 2023 8:01 PM To: David Cook <dc...@prosentient.com.au>; koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Where would I put the OpenLibrary ID in the MARC record And that, as if by magic, answers what was to be my next question... the koha-testing-docker instructions look comprehensive and I can try them out on my desktop, which seems to meet the requirements. My son, when I was discussing the project with him, said "you should do this in a docker container" and as usual he was right. I presume that once/if I've got it working there's a submission process to get updates back to the main Koha branch.
