[dspace-devel] Basic Python REST client for DSpace 7

2022-02-15 Thread Kim Shepherd
Hi all In the process of planning a content migration, we've got a basic Python REST API client for DSpace working with basic CRUD operations for bitstreams, bundles, items, collections, communities: https://github.com/the-library-code/dspace-rest-python I'll keep it updated with any further

2022-02-12 Thread Kim Shepherd
Hm, this does sound like a problem, I may not have noticed it myself as I typically do put in Context commits within my performItem() implementation anyway. Could it be as simple as doing a commit after calling performObject in distribute(), and maybe decaching the dso at the end of distribute()?

[dspace-devel] DSpace 6.4 progress

Hi all, you'll have noticed the further delays to DSpace 6.4... hopefully close to the finish line, now. The more eyes / hands we can get testing https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2918 (especially in XMLUI which has had less production usage) the quicker we can get a long-needed release out

[dspace-devel] 6.4 Release - Progress Update

2020-05-20 Thread Kim Shepherd
Hi all, We're still working on a few bigger PRs for 6.4 and some new important bugs that just got reported, but we are hopefully nearing the point of freeze and test. Obviously if some tasks end up slowing down the process too much, we'll have to start triaging for a future 6.5. I won't

[dspace-devel] 6.4 Release Update - code freeze pushed out

2020-04-12 Thread Kim Shepherd
Hi all, We're making good progress on 6.4, particularly the larger improvements that we really want to get into the release rather than making them wait for DSpace 6.5. We had earlier anticipated a code freeze of April 14 but I think we need to push this out again to give time for a bit more

[dspace-devel] DSpace 6.4 tentative PR "cut-off" - April 14

2020-03-23 Thread Kim Shepherd
Hi all, We're still working on getting reviews, tests and merges done for DSpace 6.4, and inevitably a few improvements have cropped up that would be *really* nice to get into this release, but are a bit larger than a typical bugfix and so need a bit more attention. eg.

Hi Alan, Thanks for this prod - a few of us have been discussing this very thing. I think we're agreed that it's been so long, that we shouldn't tarry with a 6.4 release (sometimes release planning announcements lead to a bit of scope creep where the waiting list gets longer), but at the same

Sounds painful! Shall we remove that redundant layer in a future 4.x/5.x/6.x release? Would probably count as a "minor release" improvement, I'm guessing? -k On Tue, 26 Nov 2019 at 09:23, Mark H. Wood wrote: > What fun. > > I wanted to create a new link in the Statistics options block. But

Hi Marc, I could see this working. You'd have to decide what to do in the event of multiple values for this metadata field in a single collection (take first? throw error?), but as this change would probably involve changing the Edit Collection form anyway, you could probably enforce

Hi all, Progress is being made toward DSpace 6.3, but it's becoming obvious that a lot of existing contributions made for the DSpace 6.x codebase will have to be postponed for 6.4 in order to release 6.3 in a timely manner. We are currently aiming for a release on May 1st, which probably means a

Hi all, It's been a while since DSpace 6.2 was released, and in that time a lot of fixes and improvements have been identified. There's currently a push to get a version 6.3 released soon. But we can't do it alone! If you know of an open JIRA issue or contribution that you really want to see

Made a long comment at the end of the doc so thought I'd post it here too! Should we be thinking about the models/schemas/ontologies used for representing the (likely) core entities, as well as the nuts'n'bolts implementations of how the DB tables, business layer methods are going to work?
