Gary, Christian is correct. That older Configurable Submission patch was specifically for DSpace 1.4 (and not 1.4.1 or 1.4.2). So, it would take some manual merging to try and get it working on 1.4.1 or 1.4.2.
In fact, I'd actually discourage anyone from installing that old Configurable Submission patch (SF #1532695), as it's now considered out-of-date. An updated and more stable version of the Configurable Submission is already committed to be released as part of DSpace 1.5, and I'd encourage you to wait for that if you can. (DSpace 1.5 should hopefully be released in the next few months). I'm actually going to go into the Patch Queue right now and mark that older patch as "out of date". In addition, since I'm only one person supporting this patch, there is unlikely to be a migration path between that old Configurable Submission patch and DSpace 1.5. So, before upgrading to the eventual DSpace 1.5, you'd likely need to completely uninstall this old Configurable Submission patch anyways. Feel free to let me know if you have further questions on this! - Tim Christian Voelker wrote: > Hello, > > Am 27.07.2007 um 06:18 schrieb Gary Browne: >> I'm trying to apply the said patch to 1.4.1. >> >> I'm using SF patch #1532695 (should I be using SF patch #1691345?) >> and I get compile errors. >> . >> . >> >> All of the exceptions are 'class' or 'interface' expected.
