This patch creates an --exclude definition for the tar command
so it is easier to stack excluded stuff. It does so for the
authority and biblio indexes if --exclude-indexes is passed.
A side effect from this, is that uploads and plugins are still
backed up, as Jonathan noted.

This patch changes the default behaviour of koha-dump to make the inclusion
of Zebra indexes on the dump optional. It does so by introducing a new option
switch that allows to have the previous behaviour in place.
To test:
- Run
$ koha-dump your_instance
- Save a copy of the dump files
- Apply the patch / extract the koha-dump script
- Run the new one:
$ koha-dump your_instance
=> SUCCESS: Verify the contents of the dump are the same
(i.e. it includes /var/lib/koha/your_instance)
- Run with the new switch:
$ koha-dump --exclude-indexes your_instance
=> SUCCESS: The dump does not contain stuff from /var/lib/koha/your_instance
- Go through the rest of the new option switches
-h | --help
-q | --quiet
=> SUCCESS: They work as expected.
- Sign off :-D

As asked by Robin, a bash lib of functions is introduced with the common
functions to be reused. Most of the scripts are modified (reduced) to
include this file and the repeated functions cleaned.
No noticeable change in behaviour should be noticed.
As I've been todl in #debian-mentors, it is used that files for inclusion
should be installed at the apps directory (i.e. /usr/share/koha/) so this
patch makes the install script put the file in the bin/ directory.
All koha-* scripts assume the file is there already (and fail otherwise).

Apache 2.4 expects the sites definition files use the sufix '.conf'
To reproduce:
- Install the 'koha-common' package on Debian 7 or Ubuntu 13.10+
(both known to include Apache 2.4).
- Create an instance (for example testlibrary) using the supplied
commands:
$ koha-create --create-db testlibrary
> FAIL: apache reports an error like this:
"ERROR: Site testlibrary does not exist!"
This patch adds a test on the Apache version and appends the ".conf"
sufix if needed.
To test:
1st step: koha-create gets fixed:
-- The hard way --
- Apply the patch, and build the koha-common package on top of this
commit.
- Install the built package on an Apache 2.4 Debian-based distro (Debian 7
or Ubuntu 13.10 will work)
- Create a test instance:
$ koha-create --create-db testlibrary
> SUCCESS: no more apache sites related error.
-- The easy way --
- Apply the patch, and copy the koha-create into an Apache 2.4
Debian-based distro
- Create a test instance using the koha-create script you just
copied:
$ ./koha-create --create-db testlibrary
> SUCCESS: no more apache sites related error.
2nd step: the rest of the touched scripts keep working as usual
koha-disable
koha-dump
koha-enable
koha-list
koha-remove
koha-restart-zebra
koha-stop-zebra
koha-start-zebra
They should all keep working. Can be tested "the easy way" too.
Note: there might be another issues regarding Apache 2.4 deployments
like the need for
$ a2enmod access_compat
and perhaps some directory permissions tweak, which I think should be
properly documented on the install instructions.

Older versions of Koha didn't have <backupdir>...</backupdir> defined in
koha-conf.xml. The koha-dump script is aware of this, and checks to see
if it's there. However, if it's not, xmlstarlet returns a non-0 error
code which causes the script to abort due to running under set -e.
Test plan:
* Remove backupdir from koha-conf.xml
* Run koha-dump, notice that it doesn't do backups
* Apply patch
* Run koha-dump again, notice that it does do backups

The fallback method works as described. It might be made more robust
like checking for dir existence (thinking of older instances upgrades).
But it certainly belongs to another bug report.

As Tomas said, it would be better to alert the user if the backupdir tag
does not exist (or contains a nonexistent directory) in the config file.

This patch builds on work by Lars Wirzenius for the Koha packages.
To date, the only way for a Koha librarian to obtain a complete backup
of their system has been to log into the system via SSH (or FTP) to
download the mysqldump file. This patch makes it possible for
superlibrarians in properly configured systems to download night backups
via the staff client's Export tool.
Recognizing that this is functionality with potentially very grave
security implications, system administrators must manually enable these
features in the koha-conf.xml configuration file.
The following configuration settings have been added to the koha-conf.xml
file:
* backupdir => directory where backups should be stored.
* backup_db_via_tools => whether to allow superlibrarians to download
database backups via the Export tool. The default is disabled, and
there is no way -- by design -- to enable this option without manually
editing koha-conf.xml.
* backup_conf_via_tools => whether to allow superlibrarians to download
configuration backups via the Export tool (this may be applicable to
packages only). The default is disabled, and there is no way -- by
design -- to enable this option without manually editing koha-conf.xml.
This commit modifies the following scripts to make use of the new
backupdir configuration option:
* koha-dump and koha-run-backups in the Debian packages
* The sample backup script misc/cronjobs/backup.sh
Note that for security reasons, superlibrarians will not be allowed
to download files that are not owned by the web server's effective user.
This imposes a de facto dependency on ITK (for Apache) or running the
web server as the Koha user (as is done with Plack).
To test:
1. Apply patch.
2. Go to export page as a superlibrarian. Notice that no additional
export options appear because they have not been enabled.
3. Add <backupdir>$KOHADEV/var/spool</backup> to the <config> section
of your koha-conf.xml (note that you will need to adjust that so that
it is pointing at a logical directory).
4. Create the aforementioned directory.
5. Go to export page as a superlibrarian. Notice that no additional
export options appear because they have not been enabled.
6. Add <backup_db_via_tools>1</backup_db_via_tools> to the <config>
section of your koha-conf.xml
7. Go to the export page as a superlibrarian. Notice the new tab.
8. Go to the export page as a non-superlibrarian. Notice there is no
new tab.
9. Run: mysqldump -u koha -p koha | gzip > $BACKUPDIR/backup.sql.gz
(substituting appropriate user, password, and database name)
10. Go to the export page as a superlibrarian, and look at the "Export
database" tab. If you are running the web server as your Koha user,
and ran the above command as your Koha user, you should now see the
file listed as an option for download.
11. If you *did* see the file listed, change the ownership to something
else: sudo chown root:root $BACKUPDIR/backup.sql.gz
11a. Confirm that you no longer see the file listed when you look at the
"Export database" tab.
12. Change the ownership on the file to your web server (or Koha) user:
sudo chown www-data:www-data backup.sql.gz
13. Go to the export page as a superlibrarian, and look at the "Export
database" tab. You should now see backup.sql.gz listed.
14. Choose to download backup.sql.gz
15. Confirm that the downloaded file is what you were expecting.
If you are interested, you can repeat the above steps but replace
<backup_db_via_tools> with <backup_conf_via_tools>, and instead of
creating an sql file, create a tar file.
To test packaging: run koha-dump, confirm that it still creates a
usable backup.
------
This signoff contains two changes:
10-1. If no backup/conf files were present, then the message telling you
so doesn't appear and the download button does. Made them behave
correctly.
10-2. The test for a file existing required it to be owned by the
webserver UID. This change makes it so it only has to be readable.
