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

  • Test the DSpace 5.8 module upgrades from Atmire (#378)
    • There seems to be a problem with the CUA and L&R versions in pom.xml because they are using SNAPSHOT and it doesn’t build
  • I added the new CCAFS Phase II Project Tag PII-FP1_PACCA2 and merged it into the 5_x-prod branch (#379)
  • I proofed and tested the ILRI author corrections that Peter sent back to me this week:
$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2018-05-30-Correct-660-authors.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f dc.contributor.author -t correct -m 3 -n
  • I think a sane proofing workflow in OpenRefine is to apply the custom text facets for check/delete/remove and illegal characters that I developed in March, 2018
  • Time to index ~70,000 items on CGSpace:
$ time schedtool -D -e ionice -c2 -n7 nice -n19 [dspace]/bin/dspace index-discovery -b

  • It turns out that I needed to add a server block for atmire.com-snapshots to my Maven settings, so now the Atmire code builds
  • Now Maven and Ant run properly, but I’m getting SQL migration errors in dspace.log after starting Tomcat
  • I’ve updated my ticket on Atmire’s bug tracker: https://tracker.atmire.com/tickets-cgiar-ilri/view-ticket?id=560
