2016-08-01

• 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

• Lots of conflicts that don't make sense (ie, shouldn't conflict!)
• This file in particular conflicts almost 10 times: dspace/modules/xmlui-mirage2/src/main/webapp/themes/CGIAR/styles/_style.scss
• Checking out a clean branch at 5.5 and cherry-picking our commits works where that file would normally have a conflict
• Seems to be related to merge commits
• git rebase --preserve-merges doesn't seem to help
• Eventually I just turned on git rerere and solved the conflicts and completed the 403 commit rebase
• The 5.5 code now builds but doesn't run (white page in Tomcat)

2016-08-02

• Ask Atmire for help with DSpace 5.5 issue
• Vanilla DSpace 5.5 deploys and runs fine
• Playing with DSpace in Ubuntu 16.04 and Tomcat 7
• Everything is still fucked up, even vanilla DSpace 5.5

2016-08-04

• Ask on DSpace mailing list about duplicate authors, Discovery and author text values
• Atmire responded with some new DSpace 5.5 ready versions to try for their modules

2016-08-05

• Fix item display incorrectly displaying Species when Breeds were present (#260)
• Experiment with fixing more authors, like Delia Grace:

dspacetest=# update metadatavalue set authority='0b4fcbc1-d930-4319-9b4d-ea1553cca70b', confidence=600 where metadata_field_id=3 and text_value='Grace, D.';

2016-08-06

• Finally figured out how to remove "View/Open" and "Bitstreams" from the item view

2016-08-07

• Start working on Ubuntu 16.04 Ansible playbook for Tomcat 8, PostgreSQL 9.5, Oracle 8, etc

2016-08-08

• Still troubleshooting Atmire modules on DSpace 5.5
• Vanilla DSpace 5.5 works on Tomcat 7...
• Ooh, and vanilla DSpace 5.5 works on Tomcat 8 with Java 8!
• Some notes about setting up Tomcat 8, since it's new on this machine...
• Install latest Oracle Java 8 JDK
• Create setenv.sh in Tomcat 8 libexec/bin directory:

CATALINA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xms3072m -Xmx3072m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Djava.library.path=/opt/brew/Cellar/tomcat-native/1.2.8/lib"

JRE_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_102.jdk/Contents/Home

• Edit Tomcat 8 server.xml to add regular HTTP listener for solr
• Symlink webapps:

$ rm -rf /opt/brew/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.4/libexec/webapps/ROOT
$ ln -sv ~/dspace/webapps/xmlui /opt/brew/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.4/libexec/webapps/ROOT
$ ln -sv ~/dspace/webapps/oai /opt/brew/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.4/libexec/webapps/oai
$ ln -sv ~/dspace/webapps/jspui /opt/brew/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.4/libexec/webapps/jspui
$ ln -sv ~/dspace/webapps/rest /opt/brew/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.4/libexec/webapps/rest
$ ln -sv ~/dspace/webapps/solr /opt/brew/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.4/libexec/webapps/solr

2016-08-09

• More tests of Atmire's 5.5 modules on a clean, working instance of 5_x-prod
• Still fails, though perhaps differently than before (Flyway): https://gist.github.com/alanorth/5d49c45a16efd7c6bc1e6642e66118b2
• More work on Tomcat 8 and Java 8 stuff for Ansible playbooks

2016-08-10

• Turns out DSpace 5.x isn't ready for Tomcat 8: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3092
• So we'll need to use Tomcat 7 + Java 8 on Ubuntu 16.04
• More work on the Ansible stuff for this, allowing Tomcat 7 to use Java 8
• Merge pull request for fixing the type Discovery index to use dc.type (#262)
• Merge pull request for removing "Bitstream" text from item display, as it confuses users and isn't necessary (#263)

2016-08-11

• Finally got DSpace (5.5) running on Ubuntu 16.04, Tomcat 7, Java 8, PostgreSQL 9.5 via the updated Ansible stuff

2016-08-14

• Update Mirage 2 build notes for Ubuntu 16.04: https://gist.github.com/alanorth/2cf9c15834dc68a514262fcb04004cb0

2016-08-15

• Notes on NodeJS + nginx + systemd: https://gist.github.com/alanorth/51acd476891c67dfe27725848cf5ace1

2016-08-16

• Troubleshoot Paramiko connection issues with Ansible on ILRI servers: #37
• Turns out we need to add some MACs to our sshd_config: hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256
• Update DSpace Test's Java to version 8 to start testing this configuration (seeing as Solr recommends it)

2016-08-17

• More work on Let's Encrypt stuff for Ansible roles
• Yesterday Atmire responded about DSpace 5.5 issues and asked me to try the dspace database repair command to fix Flyway issues
• The dspace database command doesn't even run: https://gist.github.com/alanorth/c43c8d89e8df346d32c0ee938be90cd5
• Oops, it looks like the missing classes causing dspace database to fail were coming from the old ~/dspace/config/spring folder
• After removing the spring folder and running ant install again, dspace database works
• I see there are missing and pending Flyway migrations, but running dspace database repair and dspace database migrate does nothing: https://gist.github.com/alanorth/41ed5abf2ff32d8ac9eedd1c3d015d70

2016-08-18

• Fix "CONGO,DR" country name in input-forms.xml (#264)
• Also need to fix existing records using the incorrect form in the database:

dspace=# update metadatavalue set text_value='CONGO, DR' where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=228 and text_value='CONGO,DR';

• I asked a question on the DSpace mailing list about updating "preferred" forms of author names from ORCID

2016-08-21

• A few days ago someone on the DSpace mailing list suggested I try dspace dsrun org.dspace.authority.UpdateAuthorities to update preferred author names from ORCID
• If you set auto-update-items=true in dspace/config/modules/solrauthority.cfg it is supposed to update records it finds automatically
• I updated my name format on ORCID and I've been running that script a few times per day since then but nothing has changed
• Still troubleshooting Atmire modules on DSpace 5.5
• I sent them some new verbose logs: https://gist.github.com/alanorth/700748995649688148ceba89d760253e

2016-08-22

• Database migrations are fine on DSpace 5.1:

+----------------+----------------------------+---------------------+---------+

• So I'm not sure why they have problems when we move to DSpace 5.5 (even the 5.1 migrations themselves show as "Missing")

2016-08-23

• Help Paola from CCAFS with her thumbnails again
• Talk to Atmire about the DSpace 5.5 issue, and it seems to be caused by a bug in FlywayDB
• They said I should delete the Atmire migrations

dspacetest=# delete from schema_version where description =  'Atmire CUA 4 migration' and version='5.1.2015.12.03.2';
dspacetest=# delete from schema_version where description =  'Atmire MQM migration' and version='5.1.2015.12.03.3';

• After that DSpace starts up by XMLUI now has unrelated issues that I need to solve!

org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException: Type 'ThemeResourceReader' does not exist for 'map:read' at jndi:/localhost/themes/0_CGIAR/sitemap.xmap:136:77
context:/jndi:/localhost/themes/0_CGIAR/sitemap.xmap - 136:77

• Looks like we're missing some stuff in the XMLUI module's sitemap.xmap, as well as in each of our XMLUI themes
• Diff them with these to get the ThemeResourceReader changes:
  • dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/sitemap.xmap
  • dspace-xmlui-mirage2/src/main/webapp/sitemap.xmap
• Then we had some NullPointerException from the SolrLogger class, which is apparently part of Atmire's CUA module
• I tried with a small version bump to CUA but it didn't work (version 5.5-4.1.1-0)
• Also, I started looking into huge pages to prepare for PostgreSQL 9.5, but it seems Linode's kernels don't enable them

2016-08-24

• Clean up and import 48 CCAFS records into DSpace Test
• SQL to get all journal titles from dc.source (55), since it's apparently used for internal DSpace filename shit, but we moved all our journal titles there a few months ago:

dspacetest=# select distinct text_value from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=55 and text_value !~ '.*(\.pdf|\.png|\.PDF|\.Pdf|\.JPEG|\.jpg|\.JPG|\.jpeg|\.xls|\.rtf|\.docx?|\.potx|\.dotx|\.eqa|\.tiff|\.mp4|\.mp3|\.gif|\.zip|\.txt|\.pptx|\.indd|\.PNG|\.bmp|\.exe|org\.dspace\.app\.mediafilter).*';

2016-08-25

• Atmire suggested adding a missing bean to dspace/config/spring/api/atmire-cua.xml but it doesn't help:

...
Error creating bean with name 'MetadataStorageInfoService'
...

• Atmire sent an updated version of dspace/config/spring/api/atmire-cua.xml and now XMLUI starts but gives a null pointer exception:

Java stacktrace: java.lang.NullPointerException

• Import the 47 CCAFS records to CGSpace, creating the SimpleArchiveFormat bundles and importing like:

$ ./safbuilder.sh -c /tmp/Thumbnails\ to\ Upload\ to\ CGSpace/3546.csv
$ JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx512m" /home/cgspace.cgiar.org/bin/dspace import -a -e aorth@mjanja.ch -c 10568/3546 -s /tmp/Thumbnails\ to\ Upload\ to\ CGSpace/SimpleArchiveFormat -m 3546.map

• Finally got DSpace 5.5 working with the Atmire modules after a few rounds of back and forth with Atmire devs

2016-08-26

• CGSpace had issues tonight, not entirely crashing, but becoming unresponsive
• The dspace log had this:

2016-08-26 20:48:05,040 ERROR org.dspace.storage.rdbms.DatabaseManager @ SQL connection Error -                                                               org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot get a connection, pool error Timeout waiting for idle object

• Related to /rest no doubt

2016-08-27

• Run corrections for Delia Grace and CONGO, DR, and deploy August changes to CGSpace
• Run all system updates and reboot the server
