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).

I am not seeing the 1.6.2 source package on sourceforge. Do you know when it is expected to be available? -Original Message- From: Tim Donohue [mailto:tdono...@duraspace.org] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 5:28 PM To: dspace-general; dspace-tech; dspace-devel Subject: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6.2 Release to fix key issues in 1.6.1 The DSpace Developers would like to announce the release schedule for DSpace 1.6.2, which resolves an few key issues in 1.6.1. DSpace 1.6.2 is scheduled for public release on Wednesday, June 16, 2010. DSpace 1.6.2 is a bug-fix release which will resolve two key issues found within 1.6.1. This release will not introduce any new features. 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.
