Ah - thanks! Now I understand ;-) I will add the missing package as soon as possible. But it will take some hours until the new package is available on all mirrors...

Many thanks for packaging koha for suse and I hope it continues. The environment I was trying to install on was one where the apache and mysql are on separate machines and I was trying to upgrade an existing database to further complicate matters. In the end I installed koha from source but found the supporting packages to be of great assistance. I have at least two more new koha installs to do before the end of the year and I will try using the repo again. Some additional I found helpful 1. Module perl-GB-Barcode could be installed through yast, but when trying to install koha anyway had to tell yast to ignore? 2. example suse apache conf modules as default to include conf.d/* in vhosts. This then leads to issues with the supplied apache conf file. I move to /etc/apache2/vhosts to resolve. 3. additional library required perl-XML-SAX 4. to get PDF working a little better I needed to cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/PDF/API2 ln –s Basic/PDF PDF Anyway thanks again for taking the time to package.

Yes. As time permits :-( koha is currently "low priority" for me.
The environment I was trying to install on was one where the apache and mysql are on separate machines and I was trying to upgrade an existing database to further complicate matters.
So lets say: complex setup ;-)
Some additional I found helpful
1. Module perl-GB-Barcode could be installed through yast, but when trying to install koha anyway had to tell yast to ignore?
I think this was a typo on my side. I typed perl-GD and not perl-GB - so this failure should be fixed with the next rebuild.
2. example suse apache conf modules as default to include conf.d/* in vhosts. This then leads to issues with the supplied apache conf file. I move to /etc/apache2/vhosts to resolve.
Yes. Thats a way to go. But we can also try to use the <Define> directive in apache to get rid of the problem. So the example koha-example.conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ can contain: --------------------------[snip] <IfDefine KOHA> [...other stuff here...] [...would be great if you can send me your configuration file for koha, btw] </IfDefine> --------------------------[snap] So your vhost just should start with "httpd -DKOHA" and everythink should work as expected.
3. additional library required perl-XML-SAX
Already available. Perhaps not on your mirror?
4. to get PDF working a little better I needed to cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/PDF/API2 ln –s Basic/PDF PDF
Thanks for this information. I'll see what package can handle this.... Regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
