Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6.2 Release to fix key issues in 1.6.1
Hi I have just successfully upgraded DSpace from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2 on our test server, going via DSpace 1.6.0 as an interim step :) I am in the process of upgrading our production server and wonder if I can skip the 1.6.0 stage and go straight from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2? I have blogged the proposed upgrade procedure for future reference: http://dspacebromley.blogspot.com/2010/08/dspace-162-upgrade-procedure.html My main concern is with the database upgrade. Do I have to run the SQL database upgrade script twice, once before and once after applying the 1.6.2 bitstream fix, or can I get away with running it just once after applying the bitstream fix? Comments most welcome, before try and I find out the hard way ;) Thanks Clive Message: 4 Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2010 09:13:22 -0400 From: Mark H.

You can install 1.6.2 in place of 1.5.2 without first installing 1.6.0 and then 1.6.1. But you do have to carry out the upgrade instructions (Upgrading a DSpace Installation), in order, for each version between the one you start with and the one you end at. For example, there should be an SQL script for altering the database schema and converting the data to match, in the upgrade instructions for 1.5.2 to 1.6.0, which cannot be skipped. -- Mark H.

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6.2 Release to fix key issues in 1.6.1
Hi Clive, if you have tried a procedure on your test server and it works you should really reply it without changes in production ;-) Anyway, I think that there is not issue to go directly from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2 if all the sql upgrade are processed as in your blog post. I have only notice that you edit the new configuration file (this is the right approach to be sure that all the new configuration parameters are properly configured) /nano /home/dspace/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace/config/dspace.cfg/ but you run ant with the old configuration file. /ant -Dconfig=/home/dspace/config/dspace.cfg update/ Two suggestions: - you want to take advantage of the war overlay mechanism, place your customized version of layout, logo, etc. in module/jspui with proper subpath and it will be packaged in the final version of the webapp without the need to keep (and compile) all the dspace sources on your server - you can write a custom authentication method, mark it as implicit and implement in it your custom getSpecialGroups logic so that you have not to hack the LDAP authentication (be sure to add the custom authentication method to the authentication plugin stack).

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6.2 Release to fix key issues in 1.6.1
Hi Dale, DSpace 1.6.2 is scheduled for public release on Wednesday, June 16 (GMT). There will be another announcement on that day to confirm it is released, mirrored on all maven repositories, and available on Sourceforge. Cheers!

Shortly after the 1.6.1 release, it came to our attention that we accidentally broke the Unix-based 'start-handle-server' script (which provides an easy way to start up the DSpace Handle Server on Unix/Linux servers). Although this issue does not cause any instability with DSpace software itself, the developers feel that it is important enough that it should be resolved as soon as possible. The DSpace 1.6.2 release resolves this 'start-handle-server' script issue, and also makes a few small improvements to the official DSpace Documentation. In addition, 1.6.2 resolves a minor URL escaping issue located in the 1.6.x JSPUI. Because of the overlooked 'start-handle-server' bug, the DSpace Developers have taken steps to improve our Handle Server testing processes for future releases. CNRI (Corporation for National Research Initiatives) has kindly donated a Handle System Prefix (http://handle.net) to the DSpace project to help us improve our future testing processes.
