Our initial agreement was to keep 3.1 in at least a security-only support mode until every "webstaffblocker" had been dealt with. I think we should keep to our word on that. There is just one open bug with that tag: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1773191 The bug has some movement, so

Bill, I support these changes. It is hard to predict how much time I will have to offer to the release, but I can at least /imagine/ I will not be totally swamped in 15 days, so that makes it better by default than right now :) Dan On Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 10:31 AM Bill Erickson wrote: > Hi

We had talked about keeping 3.1 going until the "webstaffblocker"s were gone. They almost are: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.tag=webstaffblocker An alternative to fixing the remainder is to simply decide they aren't blockers, but then we should be deliberate in doing so, I

Hello Ken, The second argument to PCRUD should be an Evergreen JSON-style where clause. Are you simply trying to get them all? I am actually not sure if there is a canonical way to do that, but one thing you could do is use a where clause which is always true, such as id != NULL, i.e.:

Re: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Pcrud fleshing question

Hello Jane, It looks like your issue is that the IDL is not correct. 'pickup_lib' should be a 'has_a' relationship. Despite the names, 'has_a' and 'might_have' are not for nullability, but key directionality. 'might_have' would mean that 'pickup_lib' (aou) has a key pointing back at bresv, but

Re: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] IDL is not backward compatible?

Hello Ken, This is an interesting problem and proposal. It might be possible to make some improvements, but there will be certain headwinds. For example, system-level flags (e.g. ->ischanged) are already appended to the end of each fm object array, so even adding named fields to the "end" still

Re: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Pcrud update over http gateway?

2018-10-26 Thread Daniel Wells
Hello Eric, I think you are going to need a conduit which allows you to have a stateful OpenSRF session connection, and the OSRF gateway doesn't do that. You are going to want to use either osrf-websocket-translator (more modern) or osrf-http-translator to do what you are trying to do.

I'm +1 for removal. I think the 3.1 extension provides both a usable safety valve and adequate incentive to clear the webstaff blockers in a timely manner. Dan On Wed, Aug 29, 2018 at 1:40 PM, Boyer, Jason A wrote: > I'm also +1 for removal. We've been planning for it since 3.0; may as well >

Hello all, Since our project adopted the idea of "release managers" in 2012, we have managed to select each by consensus. While we typically had elections, the nominees until now have always run unopposed. I find this tradition to be a beautiful thing, and one I would like to see preserved for
