[Koha-devel] Koha sessions table is ridiculously huge

2010-02-17 Thread Walls, Ian
Developers, After performing a software upgrade and server reboot, I came across this problem. My koha.sessions table is over 13 million entries. This seems to indicate that entries into the table were never removed, and that may help to explain why my backup mysqldumps are increasing by aro

Chad, Neat! Always glad to have people volunteer to help make Koha better. When you say "improve" and "enhance" the search, what are your specific goals? Faster retrieval time? More complex search options (nested Booleans, more search fields, regex-style wildcards, etc.)? More relevant rel

I'm reluctant to agree developers should "split off" from users into a different channel; it reinforces that perceived divide between users and developers that has been used to cast aspersions on the community in the past. Having experts in the community room is important. If we could be in tw

[Koha-devel] Koha Debian package

Developers, Has there been any recent progress (since March) on a Koha debian package, as detailed here: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=debian_packaging_work. I know that one of the blockers, MARC::File::XML 0.88, has changed (now that we’re at v.0.91), so does that make the job easier? Si

Absolutely, yes. Git is powerful (and thus complicated) enough to work for many different project workflows. Reading the Git docs doesn't necessary tell you how the workflow for Koha goes. Seeing this in action, with an expert to fill in some of the blanks, would be tremendously valuable to n
