So dspace.cfg and discovery.xml, these files you need to edit these in place. For all messages.xml files, you have to decide how to manage these - you can either modify them in place, or copy them to the corresponding path in a modules directory and edit that copy. I personally started out by editing copies of messages.xml in the modules directory. However, given that all our code etc is under git control, I find it much easier now to edit in place. That way, I can use git's merge tools to consolidate my own changes with those coming in with new DSpace versions, rather than having to manually copy my changes back. Do keep in mind that if you change anything in the dspace-xyz directories, you need to run a full rebuild (in the top-level dspace-src directory). If all your changes live in dspace-src/dspace then you can use the quick rebuild option. I have other changes in the dspace-xyz directories, so I have to run a full rebuild anyway. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Advanced+Customisation#AdvancedCustomisation-DSpaceSourceRelease So the "right way" to do this really depends on your local processes. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand
