  • 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 5.15.5 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)

  • 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

  • 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
