Tim Donohue updated DS-1060:
----------------------------
Attachment: ant-build.patch
Attaching a patch would could be a possible approach to resolving this issue
(see ant-build.patch above, which just patches our 'build.xml' file for Ant).
Essentially, this patch does a few things:
(A) It ensures that whether you run 'ant update' with or without '-Dconfig'
option, both cases will upgrade you to the latest dspace.cfg and backup your
existing settings to a dspace.cfg-[date].old file
(B) However, if you use the '-Dconfig' option, a new Ant 'target' called
'retain_main_config_settings' will attempt to retain/migrate most of your old
dspace.cfg settings in the newly upgraded dspace.cfg file (* There are some
exceptions -- see below for more)
(C) Finally, the 'dspace.cfg.default' file is no longer generated (as your
dspace.cfg file is now auto-updated).
As mentioned in (B) above, there are some exceptions to what configs can be
migrated/retained easily. Currently, I have NOT been able to figure out how to
retain the following settings:
* Settings which are commented out by default in new dspace.cfg
* Settings which do not (or no longer) exist in the new dspace.cfg
* Settings which are multi-line (full value takes up multiple lines)
* Settings which exist in another config file (not dspace.cfg) (may be able to
get this working though with a few more tweaks)
But, even with all those exceptions, most major DSpace settings (your
dspace.dir, DB settings, mail settings, etc.) all are auto-migrated to the new
dspace.cfg file. Settings which are not auto-migrated can be moved manually by
comparing the new dspace.cfg with the dspace.cfg-[date].old file.
I'd appreciate feedback on this direction. It's a change in how things
currently work, but I also think it's helpful that it attempts to help you by
auto-migrating many of your existing settings.

> Ant target overwrite_configs contains the following line...
> <globmapper from="*" to="*-${build.date}.old" />
> Whereas target prepare_configs contains the following line...
> <globmapper from="*" to="*.default" />
> It may be just a case of bringing prepare_configs in line with
> overwrite_configs but I haven't had a chance to analyse this properly.
