2022-11-01
- Last night I re-synced DSpace 7 Test from CGSpace
- I also updated all my local
7_x-dev branches on the latest upstreams
- I spent some time updating the authorizations in Alliance collections
- I want to make sure they use groups instead of individuals where possible!
- I reverted the Cocoon autosave change because it was more of a nuissance that Peter can’t upload CSVs from the web interface and is a very low severity security issue
2022-11-02
- I joined the FAO–CGIAR AGROVOC results sharing meeting
- From June to October, 2022 we suggested 39 new keywords, added 27 to AGROVOC, 4 rejected, and 9 still under discussion
- Doing duplicate check on IFPRI’s batch upload and I found one duplicate uploaded by IWMI earlier this year
- I will update the metadata of that item and map it to the correct Initiative collection
2022-11-03
- I added countries to the twenty-three IFPRI items in OpenRefine based on their titles and abstracts (using the Jython trick I learned a few months ago), then added regions using csv-metadata-quality, and uploaded them to CGSpace
- I exported a list of collections from CGSpace so I can run the thumbnail fixes on each, as we seem to have issues when doing it on (some) large communities like the CRP community:
localhost/dspace= ☘ \COPY (SELECT ds6_collection2collectionhandle(uuid) AS collection FROM collection) to /tmp/collections.txt
COPY 1268
- Then I started a test run on DSpace Test:
$ while read -r collection; do chrt -b 0 dspace dsrun io.github.ilri.cgspace.scripts.FixLowQualityThumbnails $collection | tee -a /tmp/FixLowQualityThumbnails.log; done < /tmp/collections.txt
- I’ll be curious to check the log after it’s all done.
$ grep -c 'Action: remove' /tmp/FixLowQualityThumbnails.log
626
- Not bad, because last week I did a more manual selection of collections and deleted ~200
- I will replicate this on CGSpace soon, and also try the FixJpgJpgThumbnails tool
- I see that the CIAT Library is still up, so I should really grab all the PDFs before they shut that old server down
- Export a list of items with PDFs linked there:
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ \COPY (SELECT dspace_object_id,text_value FROM metadatavalue WHERE metadata_field_id=219 AND text_value LIKE '%ciat-library%') to /tmp/ciat-library-items.csv;
COPY 4621
- After stripping the page numbers off I see there are only about 2,700 unique files, and we have to filter the dead JSPUI ones…
$ csvcut -c url 2022-11-03-CIAT-Library-items.csv | sed 1d | grep -v jspui | sort -u | wc -l
2752
- I’m not sure how we’ll handle the duplicates because many items are book chapters or something where they share a PDF
2022-11-04
- I decided to check for old pre-ImageMagick thumbnails on CGSpace by finding any bitstreams with the description “Generated Thumbnail”:
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ \COPY (SELECT ds6_bitstream2itemhandle(dspace_object_id) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id in (SELECT dspace_object_id FROM item) AND text_value='Generated Thumbnail') to /tmp/old-thumbnails.txt;
COPY 1147
$ grep -v '\\N' /tmp/old-thumbnails.txt > /tmp/old-thumbnail-handles.txt
$ wc -l /tmp/old-thumbnail-handles.txt
987 /tmp/old-thumbnail-handles.txt
- A bunch of these have
\N for some reason when I use the ds6_bitstream2itemhandle function to get their handles so I had to exclude those…
- I forced the media-filter for these items on CGSpace:
$ while read -r handle; do JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx512m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" dspace filter-media -p "ImageMagick PDF Thumbnail" -i $handle -f -v; done < /tmp/old-thumbnail-handles.txt
- Upload some batch records via CSV for Peter
- Update the about page on CGSpace with new text from Peter
- Add a few more ORCID identifiers and names to my growing file
2022-09-22-add-orcids.csv
- I tagged fifty-four new authors using this list
- I deleted and mapped one duplicate item for Maria Garruccio
- I updated the CG Core website from Bootstrap v4.6 to v5.2
2022-11-07
- I did a harvest on AReS last night but it seems that MELSpace’s sitemap is broken again because we have 10,000 fewer records
- I filed an issue on the iso-3166-1 npm package to update the name of Turkey to Türkiye
- I also filed an issue and a pull request on the pycountry package
- I also filed an issue and a pull request on the country-converter package
- I also changed one item on CGSpace that had been submitted since the name was changed
- I also imported the new iso-codes 4.12.0 into cgspace-java-helpers
- I also updated it in the DSpace
input-forms.xml
- I also forked the iso-3166-1 package from npm and updated Swaziland, Macedonia, and Turkey in my fork
- Since I was making all these pull requests I also made one on country-converter for the UN M.49 region “South-eastern Asia”
- Port the ImageMagick PDF cropbox fix to DSpace 6.x
- I deployed it on CGSpace, ran all updates, and rebooted the host
- I ran the filter-media script on one large collection where many of these PDFs with cropbox issues exist:
$ JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" dspace filter-media -p "ImageMagick PDF Thumbnail" -v -f -i 10568/78 >& /tmp/filter-media-cropbox.log
- But looking at the items it processed, I’m not sure it’s working as expected
- I found some links to the Bioversity website on CGSpace that are not redirecting properly:
$ http --print Hh http://www.bioversityinternational.org/nc/publications/publication/issue/geneflow_2004.html

2022-11-08
- Looking at the Solr statistics hits on CGSpace for 2022-11
- I see 221.219.100.42 is on China Unicom and was making thousands of requests to XMLUI in a few hours, using a normal user agent
- I see 122.10.101.60 is in Hong Kong and making thousands of requests to XMLUI handles in a few hours, using a normal user agent
- I see 135.125.21.38 on OVH is making thousands of requests trying to do SQL injection

- I see 216.218.223.53 on Hurricane Electric making thousands of requests to XMLUI in a few minutes using a normal user agent
- I will purge all these hits and proably add China Unicom’s subnet mask to my nginx
bot-network.conf file to tag them as bots since there are SO many bad and malicious requests coming from there
$ ./ilri/check-spider-ip-hits.sh -f /tmp/ips.txt -p

- Work on the CIAT Library items a bit again in OpenRefine
- I flagged items with:
- URL containing “#page” at the end (these are linking to book chapters, but we don’t want to upload the PDF multiple times)
- Same URL used by more than one item (“Duplicates” facet in OpenRefine, these are some corner case I don’t want to handle right now)
- URL containing “:8080” to CIAT’s old DSpace (this server is no longer live)
- I want to try to handle the simple cases that should cover most of the items first
2022-11-09
- Continue working on the Python script to upload PDFs from CIAT Library to the relevant item on CGSpace
- I got the basic functionality working
2022-11-12
2022-11-15
- Meeting with Marie-Angelique, Sara, and Valentina about CG Core types
- We agreed to continue adding the feedback for each of the proposed actions
- The others will start filling in definitions for the types
- Sara had some good questions about duplicates on CGSpace and how we can possibly prevent them now that several systems are submitting items directly into the repository
- We need to be careful especially with regards to author’s outputs that will be reported in the PRMS
2022-11-16
- Maria asked if we can extend the timeout for XMLUI sessions
- According to this issue it seems to be 30 minutes by default, as a Tomcat default
- I think we could extend this to an hour, as there is no real security risk (we’re not a bank) and most user’s lock screens would have activated after ten minutes or so anyways
2022-11-20
2022-11-22
- Check and upload some items to CGSpace for Peter
- I am waiting for some feedback from him about some duplicates and metadata issues for the rest
2022-11-23
- Fix some authorization issues for ABC’s TIP submit tool on DSpace Test (the groups were correct on CGSpace, but not on test)
- Peter sent me feedback about the duplicates and metadata questions from yesterday
- I uploaded the eight items for COHESA and sixty-two for Gender
- I ran the script to tag ORCID identifiers with my
2022-09-22-add-orcids.csv file and tagged twenty-seven
- Maria asked for help uploading a large PDF to CGSpace
- The PDF is only two pages, but it is 139MB!
- I decided to compress it with GhostScript, first with the screen profile (72dpi), then with the ebook profile (150dpi):
$ gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=Key\ facts\ from\ a\ traditional\ colombian\ food\ market-screen.pdf Key\ facts\ from\ a\ traditional\ colombian\ food\ market.pdf

2022-11-24
- My script finished downloading the CIAT Library PDFs
- I did some more work on my
post-ciat-pdfs.py script and tested uploading the items to my local DSpace and DSpace Test
- Then I ran the script on CGSpace, uploading ~1,500 PDFs to to existing items
2022-11-25
- Tony Murray, who is working on IFPRI’s CGSpace integration, emailed me to ask some questions about the REST API
- Oh no, I realized there is a logic issue with the PDFbox cropbox code I added a few weeks ago:
$ JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" dspace filter-media -p "ImageMagick PDF Thumbnail" -v -f -i 10568/77010

- Salem gave me a list of CGSpace collections that have double spaces in the names
- Normally this would only be a minor annoyance, but he discovered that the REST API seems to trim the spaces, which causes an issue when trying to reference them!
- He sent me a list of about ten collection UUIDs so I fixed them
- I found a bunch of LIVES presentations on CGSpace that have presentations on SlideShare with incorrect licenses… I updated about fifty of them
2022-11-26
- Sync DSpace Test with CGSpace
- I increased the session timeout in Tomcat from thirty minutes to sixty, as requested by Maria a few weeks ago
- I re-built DSpace on CGSpace, ran all updates, and rebooted the machine
- Then after coming back up the handle server won’t start
- The
handle-server.log file shows:
Shutting down...
"2022/11/26 02:12:17 CET" 25 Rotating log files
Error: null
(see the error log for details.)
- In the

End-Date: 2022-11-10 04:10:45
- JDK-8287132: Retire Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit so that it always throws UOE
- I downloaded the previous versions of the packages from Launchpad:
# wget https://launchpad.net/~openjdk-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/24195357/+files/openjdk-8-jdk-headless_8u342-b07-0ubuntu1~20.04_amd64.deb
# wget https://launchpad.net/~openjdk-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/24195357/+files/openjdk-8-jre-headless_8u342-b07-0ubuntu1~20.04_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i openjdk-8-j*8u342-b07*.deb
- Then the handle-server process starts up fine, so I held these OpenJDK versions for now:
# apt-mark hold openjdk-8-jdk-headless:amd64 openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64
openjdk-8-jdk-headless set on hold.
openjdk-8-jre-headless set on hold.

- I realized I made a mistake in the PDF CropBox code I wrote for dspace-api a few weeks ago
- For PDFs with only one page I was seeing this in the filter-media output:
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: 1-based index out of bounds: 2
- It turns out that PDDocument’s getPage() is zero-based
- I also updated PDFBox from 2.0.24 to 2.0.27
- I synced DSpace 7 Test with CGSpace
- I had to follow my notes from 2022-03 to delete the missing Atmire migrations
2022-11-28
- Update
ilri/fix-metadata-values.py to update the last_modified date for items when it updates metadata
- This should allow us to use the normal
index-discovery (with out -b) as well as having REST API responses showing a correct last modified date
- Maria asked me to add some ORCID identifiers for Alliance staff to the controlled vocabulary
- I also updated the
add-orcid-identifiers-csv.py to update the last_modified timestamp of the item
- I re-factored my CGSpace Python scripts to use a helper
util.py module with common functions
- For now it only has the one for updating an item’s
last_modified timestamp but I will gradually add more
- I also ran our list of ORCID identifiers against ORCID’s API to see if anyone changed their name format
- Then I ran them on CGSpace with
ilri/update-orcids.py to fix them
- Normalize the
text_lang values for CGSpace metadata again:

- Discussing the UN M.49 regions on CGSpace with Valentina and Abenet
- I exported a CSV of the Initiatives and ran the csv-metadata-quality script to add missing UN M.49 regions
- To make sure everything was correct I got a list of the changes from csv-metadata-quality and checked them all manually on the UN M.49 site, just in case there was another bug in country_converter
- This fixed regions for about fifty items
- I dumped the UN M.49 regions from the CSV on the UNSD website:

- For now I will combine it with our existing list, which contains a few legacy regions, while we discuss about a long-term plan with Peter and Abenet
- Peter wrote to ask me to change the PIM CRP’s full name from
Policies, Institutions and Markets to Policies, Institutions, and Markets
- It’s apparently the only CRP with an Oxford comma…?
- I updated them all on CGSpace
