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 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
