Hi, again, I have found a temporary workaround, have built new distribution zip
files, and have pushed them over to SourceForge. Mark Wood is working on a far
more elegant solution. We'll write it all up eventually, but I have tested both
the release and src-release zip files, they have all required folders and all
build DSpace correctly. The new distribution files work correctly, so if you
depend on these files, just download new ones [1].
If you are tired of downloading and managing vendor drops, I do recommend you
check out Git and GitHub [2].
Speaking of GitHub, they build distribution zip files on the fly, so, through
all of this, the GitHub-made distribution zip file [3] has worked fine.

Hi, to be absolutely clear, the DSpace 5.2 application works fine. If you clone
the DSpace repository from GitHub and check out the dspace-5_x branch, you will
have a working repository. The issue here is that the "distribution" zip files
are missing some important, though empty, folders. We are working to resolve
this issue, so that people who might depend on using the distribution zip files
(such as anyone still using Subversion for version control, and following a
"vendor drop" protocol for tracking changes to DSpace) can make use of them.
Sorry for the inconvenience, we will sort it out soon, I'm sure.

Hi, Lewatle, thank you for bringing this to our attention. There appears to be
a problem with our distribution packaging configuration (confirmed by myself
and Mark Wood). We are looking into it. The gist of the problem is, the Maven
overlay folders are not getting packaged up in the distributions. These overlay
folders are necessary to build DSpace, as our Maven configuration expects to
find these folders, even if they are empty.
Since this is a "packaging" error, we should be able to produce new
distribution packages that *do* work, and I expect that will happen later
today. I hope we'll have a solution for the problem with the packaging
configuration as well. In the mean time, if you'd like to manually fix your own
distribution, and you're using the BASH shell (Linux or OSX), run this from
your dspace-5.2-src-release folder:
cd dspace/modules; for X in jspui lni oai rdf rest sword swordv2 xmlui; do
mkdir -p $X/src/main/webapp; done
Thanks to Mark Wood for the one-line BASH script. If you're using Windows or
some other shell, the general idea is: create empty src/main/webapp folders in
each folder in dspace/modules.
Sorry for the mix-up, I'm sure we'll have this sorted out later today.
--Hardy
PS: if you or anyone else would like to pitch in with the packaging debugging,
here is how:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Release+Procedure#ReleaseProcedure-CreatetheDistributionZipsforSourceForge
Follow along with the instructions in the block that begins "what if I
deleted..." The gist of it is: start with a fresh clone of DSpace from GitHub,
check out the 5.2 tag, build the distributions, and then see that they are
indeed missing the overlay folders...
