Description Robin Sheat 2015-05-01 03:50:43 UTC
On jessie, doing a zebra reindex will cause errors like:

15:10:47-01/05 zebraidx(16108) [warn] No such record type: dom./etc/koha/zebradb/biblios/etc/dom-config.xml

A workaround is documented here:

http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Zebra#No_such_record_type

However we need to get it working out of the box, and to be backwards compatible. My plan is:

* have koha-start-zebra check for the location of mod-dom.so, probably searching through a predefined list.
* have it create a symlink inside /var/lib/koha that points to the right directory for the libraries.
* update the zebra*.cfg templates so that they point to the new symlink location
* as part of postinst, update the configuration for currently installed files so that they point to the symlink location.

This'll mean that it'll work on all the layouts of the zebra libraries that we care to handle.

Bug 14106: koha-start-zebra ensures a correct link exists

Turns out this is unnecessary, we can put multiple paths directly into the zebra configuration.

[PASSED QA] Bug 14106: fill up the zebra config with a list of modulePaths

This adds the full list of paths that debian might use for zebra to the
search path for modules.

It also means we can say we support s390x architecture. Whatever that is.

[PASSED QA] Bug 14106: patch existing zebra configs with new modulePath

This patches the zebra configuration of existing Koha installations so
that their modulePath will work on newer Debian (and presumably Ubuntu)
releases.

Testing:
* Install a package built with this patch onto a system with instances
  created by an older Koha version.
* Check that the files in /etc/koha/sites/*/zebra-*.cfg have the new
  modulePath: directive rather than the old one.

Bug 14106: (QA followup) avoid failures if no instances created

If there are no instances already created on install/upgrade, the
koha-common.postinst script hungs in the absence of files to fix
and keeps waiting for user input.

curious, would this be a problem in 3.16.x too?
