After 2009-08-15, Amazon Web Services will expect that all requests to the Product Advertising API, which is what Koha uses for retrieving reviews and other enhanced content from Amazon, include signatures. This patch and subsequenct patches implement this functionality. What this means in practice (assuming the user has elected to use any enhanced content from Amazon) is that [1] The user must get a Amazon Secret Access Key. This can be done by logging in to the user's AWS account at (e.g.) http://aws.amazon.com/, going to the 'Access Identifiers' page, and from there retrieving and/or creating a new Secret Access Key. [2] The contents of the Secret Access Key should then be entered into the new AWSPrivateKey system preference. Once that is done, grabbing reviews and table of contents from Amazon should work as normal. If the user doesn't do this before 2009-08-15, reviews and TOCs will no longer be supplied from Amazon, although there should be no crashes - the content will simply not show up. Note that the requirement to sign requests does *NOT* appear to apply to simply displaying book covers from Amazon. Signed-off-by: Galen Charlton <gmcharlt@gmail.com> |

if you - just installed a fresh debian etch - want to install koha - don't want to strugle with apt configuration, weird dependancies conflit, and cpan install modules this script does it for you note: french doc. is more detailled for the moment (i apologize). warning: Even if etch is always prefered, this script installs some lenny packages. If you don't want to mix distribs for any reason, please don't use this script. required: locales have to be allready configured configured recommends: . /!\ koha needs a local MTA. By default, courier-mta will be installed. I recommend postfix but i won't decide for you (the choice of the MTA relies on too many parameters). if you want to know the alternatives, type aptitude search '~Dprovides:mail-transport-agent' go: - edit the first lines of the script to set some environement variables (you can also use export to set variables out of the script) - from the shell, type sh install_koha_from_on_fesh_etch [install flags] flags are t: install koha from release or beta tarballs (default is git) b: install koha from beta tarballs (default is git) c: debian is still configured. It means that you exactly know the required sources and the script asumes that those sources are configured - answer to the questions it's ready to use ... TODO: - improve this documentation
