Minor stuff

Patchsets analyzed but not backported: 27

Due one of the following

• severity too low considering this is the oldoldstable branch of Koha
• missing dependencies
• not enough benefits compared to the risks of regression

backport attempts: 6

Some time needed to determine whether it impacts 19.11 or the feasibility of the backport. And also attempts to backport not possible due to code conflicts.

• Bug 26903 - Authority records not being indexed in Elasticsearch
• Bug 7607 - Advanced search: Index and search term don't match when leaving fields empty
• Bug 26536 - "Writeoff/Pay selected" deducts from old unpaid debts first
• Bug 27166 - SIP2 Connection is killed when an item that was not issued is checked in and generates a transfer
• Bug 27209 - Add Koha::Hold->set_pickup_location
• Bug 27256 - "Add" button on point of sale page fails on table paging

QA

Notes:

• An attempt results in feedback provided on the bug. To ask if I correctly followed the test plan due to results that I couldn't interpret. Or if there is indeed an issue.
• Partial QA is a way to contribute to a ticket that I can't QA alone but for which I can apply the test plan and run the QA script. Leaving the functional or code review for someone knowing that area.

Began analysis of 34 patchsets

Often one must start reviewing a patch and test plan to really know if it's possible or not to QA it. This is still a way to get to know more Koha and the code though. And eventually find issues.

Signoffs (testing submitted patches so they can move on to be integrated)

Note: an attempt usually results in feedback provided on the bug. To ask if I correctly followed the test plan due to results that I couldn't interpret. Or if there is indeed an issue.
