Description Lars Wirzenius 2010-06-10 01:39:02 UTC 
The Debian packaging contains some scripts in debian/scripts/koha-*, which are written in patchy shell. They work, but do not handle errors very well, and often cannot recover after an error happens.

The scripts should be made robust. It might help to rewrite them in perl.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2013-04-13 19:21:53 UTC 
Resetting version to master.
Comment 2 Magnus Enger 2013-04-13 21:27:54 UTC 
Maybe we should rename this to "Rewrite koha-* scripts in Perl, with error checking - omnibus"?
Comment 3 Robin Sheat 2013-04-14 22:48:27 UTC 
Yes.
Comment 4 Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2013-04-18 13:22:53 UTC 
Do we need to write them in Perl? I agree more error handling.
Comment 5 Robin Sheat 2013-04-18 22:38:15 UTC 
It's not really a requirement to write them in Perl, but error handling and rollback and such would be easier to implement in that.
Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2019-04-10 00:55:19 UTC 
All linked bugs have been closed - closing this bug as well.
