Most of this commit by Joshua Ferraro.
updatedatabase changes by Galen Charlton.
Major changes:
This commit includes a lot of fairly major changes
to Koha's Biblio handling, largest is the addition
and deletion of several columns in the biblioitems,
items tables, as well as cleanup of deletedbiblioitems,
deleteditems tables. Some of the changes are simple
cleanup, but most have to do with improvements to
storage of call numbers in Koha.
Also, I had to clean up the _koha_* routines quite a
lot to make them work -- there was lots of data just
being lost because columns weren't being updated.
I'm still not completely convinced that the items
table is being treated as authoritative for items
data, investigating further.
DB Changes (updated in kohastructure.sql and in
updatedatabases):
ADDED:
biblioitems.cn_source ( auth value, CN_SOURCE, stores the source of the
call number: DDC, LCC, NLM, etc.)
biblioitems.cn_class ( plugin, marc21_callnumber.pl, helps fill in
the rest of the biblio-level fields)
biblioitems.cn_item
biblioitems.cn_suffix
biblioitems.cn_sort ( for zebra sorting, stored as a decimal number)
biblioitems.totalissues ( for counting the total times issued )
items.cn_source ( auth value, CN_SOURCE, stores DDC, LCC, NLM, etc.)
items.itemcallnumber ( plugin, marc21_itemcallnumber.pl, helps fill in
the itemcallnumber based on the record data )
items.cn_sort ( for zebra sorting, stored as a decimal number)
items.ccode ( auth value, CCODE, stores the Collection Code
of the item, can be used as call number prefix
by some libraries )
items.uri
items.materials
items.damaged
DELETED:
items.itype
items.cutterextra
biblioitems.classification
biblioitems.subclass

Koha - award-winning GPL Integrated Library System Koha aims to be a full-featured Integrated Library System. Developed initially in New Zealand by Katipo Communications Ltd and first deployed in January of 2000 for Horowhenua Library Trust, it is currently maintained by a team of software providers and library technology staff from around the globe. STRUCTURE ========= Koha 3.0 has been restructured from Koha 2.2 to use Zebra, a high-performance, general-purpose structured text indexing and retrieval engine. Zebra speaks Z39.50, building on one of Koha's most useful features. General library data is held in MySQL, and Koha 3.0 supports MySQL 5, using foreign keys and other recent features. Apache 2 is the recommended web server and VirtualHost configuration files are generated for it. INSTALLATION ============ Koha 3.0 comes with a new installer, based on MakeMaker, the tool that is usually used to install CPAN modules. This means that if you know how to customise CPAN-installed modules, the same things should work for you with Koha. If not, don't worry. If you want to customise the installation more than described below, run "man ExtUtils::MakeMaker" You need to have a server running MySQL 5, Zebra and some webserver (preferably Apache) before installing Koha. Create a database in MySQL called koha, owned by a kohaadmin user, with a password set. Default installation instructions: 0. export MYSQL_PASS=thePasswordYouChose 1. perl Makefile.PL 2. make 3. sudo make install 4. ln -s /usr/share/koha/etc/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha 5. a2ensite koha && /etc/init.d/apache reload 6. zebrasrv -c /usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml 7. Browse to http://servername:8080/ and answer the questions OR if you want to install all dependencies from CPAN and are root, you can replace steps 1-3 with "perl install-CPAN.pl" but this is non-standard and may not be safe. Nevertheless, it's pretty cool when it works. The defaults will install Koha to places that follow relevant standards, such as the File Hierarchy Standard. If you want to install Koha to a different directory like /opt/koha, then replace step 1 with: 1a. export PREFIX=/opt/koha 1b. export CGI_DIR=/opt/koha/cgi 1c. export LOG_DIR=/opt/koha/log 1d. perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/opt/koha You can change most of the defaults in a similar way, such as MYSQL_HOST. For full instructions on how to override the default settings, run perldoc rewrite-config.PL IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS ==================== IF THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE TREE: please contact developers by email via http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel or http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.koha.devel IF THIS IS A RELEASED VERSION: please see the support pages at http://www.koha.org/ Released versions usually have three-digit numbers, like 3.00.01, while other version number styles are usually snapshots or previews.
