  • Alliance’s TIP team emailed me to ask about issues authenticating on CGSpace
    • It seems their password expired, which is annoying
  • I continued looking at the CGSpace subjects for the FAO / AGROVOC exercise that I started last week
    • There are many of our subjects that would match if they added a “-” like “high yielding varieties” or used singular…
    • Also I found at least two spelling mistakes, for example “decison support systems”, which would match if it was spelled correctly
  • Work on cleaning, proofing, and uploading twenty-seven records for IFPRI to CGSpace
  • I notice there are a few dozen locks from the dspaceWeb pool that are five days old on CGSpace so I killed them
$ psql < locks-age.sql | grep " days " | awk -F"|" '{print $10}' | sort -u | xargs kill

  • Sync DSpace Test with CGSpace
  • I replaced one item’s thumbnail with a WebP version and XMLUI displays it fine
  • I spent some time checking the CMYK issue with Arch’s ImageMagick 7 and the Docker container and I think ImageMagick 7 just handles CMYK wrong…
    • libvips does it correctly automatically and looks closer to the PDF
  • Meeting about CG Core types
