 - Finish up reconciling Atmire's pull request for DSpace 5.8 changes with the latest status of our `5_x-prod` branch
 - I had to do some `git rev-list --reverse --no-merges oldestcommit..newestcommit` and `git cherry-pick -S` hackery to get everything all in order
 - After building I ran the Atmire schema migrations and forced old migrations, then did the `ant update`
-- I tried to build it on DSpace Test, but it seems to still need more RAM to complete (like I experienced last month), so I stopped Tomcat and set `JAVA_OPTS` to 1024m and tried the mvn package again
+- I tried to build it on DSpace Test, but it seems to still need more RAM to complete (like I experienced last month), so I stopped Tomcat and set `JAVA_OPTS` to 1024m and tried the `mvn package` again
+- Still the `mvn package` takes forever and essentially hangs on processing the xmlui-mirage2 overlay (though after building all the themes)
+- I will try to reduce Tomcat memory from 4608m to 4096m and then retry the `mvn package` with 1024m of `JAVA_OPTS` again
+- After running the `mvn package` for the third time and waiting an hour, I attached `strace` to the Java process and saw that it was indeed reading XMLUI theme data... so I guess I just need to wait more
+- After waiting two hours the maven process completed and installation was successful
+- I restarted Tomcat and it seems everything is working well, so I'll merge the pull request and try to schedule the CGSpace upgrade for this coming Sunday, August 26th
+- I merged [Atmire's pull request](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/378) into our `5_x-dspace-5.8` temporary brach and then cherry-picked all the changes from `5_x-prod` since April, 2018 when that temporary branch was created
+- As the branch histories are very different I cannot merge the new 5.8 branch into the current `5_x-prod` branch
+- Instead, I will archive the current `5_x-prod` DSpace 5.5 branch as `5_x-prod-dspace-5.5` and then hard reset `5_x-prod` based on `5_x-dspace-5.8`
+- Unfortunately this will mess up the references in pull requests and issues on GitHub
