CGSpace Notes

Documenting day-to-day work on the CGSpace repository.

  • Merge one change to CCAFS flagships that I had forgotten to remove last month (“MANAGING CLIMATE RISK”): https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317
  • Quick proof-of-concept hack to add dc.rights to the input form, including some inline instructions/hints:

dc.rights in the submission form

  • Remove redundant/duplicate text in the DSpace submission license
  • Testing the CMYK patch on a collection with 650 items:

    $ [dspace]/bin/dspace filter-media -f -i 10568/16498 -p "ImageMagick PDF Thumbnail" -v >& /tmp/filter-media-cmyk.txt

  • Run the 279 CIAT author corrections on CGSpace

2017-03-02

  • Skype with Michael and Peter, discussing moving the CGIAR Library to CGSpace
  • CGIAR people possibly open to moving content, redirecting library.cgiar.org to CGSpace and letting CGSpace resolve their handles
  • They might come in at the top level in one “CGIAR System” community, or with several communities
  • I need to spend a bit of time looking at the multiple handle support in DSpace and see if new content can be minted in both handles, or just one?
  • Need to send Peter and Michael some notes about this in a few days
  • Also, need to consider talking to Atmire about hiring them to bring ORCiD metadata to REST / OAI
  • Filed an issue on DSpace issue tracker for the filter-media bug that causes it to process JPGs even when limiting to the PDF thumbnail plugin: DS-3516
  • Discovered that the ImageMagic filter-media plugin creates JPG thumbnails with the CMYK colorspace when the source PDF is using CMYK
  • Interestingly, it seems DSpace 4.x’s thumbnails were sRGB, but forcing regeneration using DSpace 5.x’s ImageMagick plugin creates CMYK JPGs if the source PDF was CMYK (see 1056851999):

    $ identify ~/Desktop/alc_contrastes_desafios.jpg
    /Users/aorth/Desktop/alc_contrastes_desafios.jpg JPEG 464x600 464x600+0+0 8-bit CMYK 168KB 0.000u 0:00.000

  • An item was mapped twice erroneously again, so I had to remove one of the mappings manually:

    dspace=# select * from collection2item where item_id = '80278';
    id   | collection_id | item_id
    -------+---------------+---------
    92551 |           313 |   80278
    92550 |           313 |   80278
    90774 |          1051 |   80278
    (3 rows)
    dspace=# delete from collection2item where id = 92551 and item_id = 80278;
    DELETE 1
    
  • Create issue on GitHub to track the addition of CCAFS Phase II project tags (#301)

  • Looks like we’ll be using cg.identifier.ccafsprojectpii as the field name

  • I checked to see if the Solr sharding task that is supposed to run on January 1st had run and saw there was an error
  • I tested on DSpace Test as well and it doesn’t work there either
  • I asked on the dspace-tech mailing list because it seems to be broken, and actually now I’m not sure if we’ve ever had the sharding task run successfully over all these years

  • CGSpace was down for five hours in the morning while I was sleeping
  • While looking in the logs for errors, I see tons of warnings about Atmire MQM:

  • I see thousands of them in the logs for the last few months, so it’s not related to the DSpace 5.5 upgrade

  • I’ve raised a ticket with Atmire to ask

  • Another worrying error from dspace.log is:

  • Testing adding ORCIDs to a CSV file for a single item to see if the author orders get messed up
  • Need to test the following scenarios to see how author order is affected:
    • ORCIDs only
    • ORCIDs plus normal authors
  • I exported a random item’s metadata as CSV, deleted all columns except id and collection, and made a new coloum called ORCID:dc.contributor.author with the following random ORCIDs from the ORCID registry:

    0000-0002-6115-0956||0000-0002-3812-8793||0000-0001-7462-405X

  • Discuss helping CCAFS with some batch tagging of ORCID IDs for their authors
  • Discuss how the migration of CGIAR’s Active Directory to a flat structure will break our LDAP groups in DSpace
  • We had been using DC=ILRI to determine whether a user was ILRI or not
  • It looks like we might be able to use OUs now, instead of DCs:

    $ ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://svcgroot2.cgiarad.org:3269/ -b "dc=cgiarad,dc=org" -D "admigration1@cgiarad.org" -W "(sAMAccountName=admigration1)"

  • Add updated distribution license from Sisay (#259)
  • Play with upgrading Mirage 2 dependencies in bower.json because most are several versions of out date
  • Bootstrap is at 3.3.0 but upstream is at 3.3.7, and upgrading to anything beyond 3.3.1 breaks glyphicons and probably more
  • bower stuff is a dead end, waste of time, too many issues
  • Anything after Bootstrap 3.3.1 makes glyphicons disappear (HTTP 404 trying to access from incorrect path of fonts)
  • Start working on DSpace 5.1 → 5.5 port:

    $ git checkout -b 55new 5_x-prod
    $ git reset --hard ilri/5_x-prod
    $ git rebase -i dspace-5.5

  • Add dc.description.sponsorship to Discovery sidebar facets and make investors clickable in item view (#232)
  • I think this query should find and replace all authors that have “,” at the end of their names:

    dspacetest=# update metadatavalue set text_value = regexp_replace(text_value, '(^.+?),$', '\1') where metadata_field_id=3 and resource_type_id=2 and text_value ~ '^.+?,$';
    UPDATE 95
    dspacetest=# select text_value from  metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=3 and resource_type_id=2 and text_value ~ '^.+?,$';
    text_value
    ------------
    (0 rows)
    
  • In this case the select query was showing 95 results before the update
