Short:
Launch an indexing daemon (rebuild_zebra.pl -daemon) process for each
enabled instance. Enabling/disabling the use of the indexer is handled
by global configuration variables in /etc/default/koha-common.
Also provides command line tools to manage the running indexer daemons
for your instances.
Long:
Using an indexing daemon avoids launching a new interpreter each time
the cron triggers the indexing, and also allows sub-minute incremental
reindexing, a requirement from our librarians.[1]
Using the indexer daemon could remain "experimental" until it gets more
testing; so is disabled by default initially. To enable the use of the
indexer the user has to tweak the /etc/default/koha-common config file.
Specifically the USE_INDEXER_DAEMON variable, which is clearly explained
in the file.
Frecquency defaults to 5 sec, and can be changed by tweaking the
/etc/default/koha-common config file too.
This patch uses rebuild_zebra.pl in daemon mode, but it is crafted to
allow changing the indexing daemon and passing specific option switches
it might need.

This patch creates a new master configuration file for the
koha-common package, and moves the AUTOMATIC_TRANSLATIONS_UPDATE
variable rather than leaving in in /etc/default/koha, which is meant
to be used for init script settings.
The configuration format is simple - a shell script that
sets variables and which can sourced by another script or
trivially parsed.
To test:
- Apply the patch series for bug 10942 and build a package.
- Install the package.
- Verify that a new config file, /etc/koha/koha-common.conf.
- Follow the rest of the test plan for the main page (e.g.,
set AUTOMATIC_TRANSLATIONS_UPDATE and force a package upgrade).

This patch adds a new config variable AUTOMATIC_TRANSLATIONS_UPDATE at
/etc/default/koha-common that is used to control whether the upgrade
process should trigger a
$ koha-translate --update <lang_code>
command for each installed template translation language.
To test:
- Have a koha-common setup with some languages installed
(e.g. koha-translate --install es-ES)
- Apply the patch and build a package for it.
- Install it.
- A new AUTOMATIC_TRANSLATIONS_UPDATE config variable should be in place
at /etc/default/koha-common
- Set AUTOMATIC_TRANSLATIONS_UPDATE to 'yes'
- Re-install the package to trigger the post-install script
- Verify that translations get updated.
Edit: added a warning message for the case AUTOMATIC_TRANSLATIONS_UPDATE=no
and there are translations installed (so they need to get updated).

Works as advertised, default behaviour doesn't change.

Removed unused stuff, added a new config file /etc/default/koha-common
to control the init script behaviour. Currently is only a stub. The config
file could be put on /etc/sysconfig on RedHat and friends. The init script
should work them too. Added a TODO comment regarding the 'status' switch.
To test:
- Apply the patch on master, build your own packages and install.
- The init script should continue to work as expected.
(it can be tested replacing the /etc/init.d/koha-common file with
debian/koha-common.init on a packages install).
- The absence of the /etc/default/koha-common file should not prevent
the init script from working.
