It is important to note that the strategies are identical in terms of the list of procedures required to complete the build process, the only difference being that the Source Release includes "more modules" that will be built given their presence in the distribution package.

• Default Binary Release (dspace-<version>-release.zip)
  • This distribution will be adequate for most cases of running a DSpace instance. It is intended to be the quickest way to get DSpace installed and running while still allowing for customization of the themes and branding of your DSpace instance.
  • This method allows you to customize DSpace configurations (in dspace.cfg) or user interfaces, using basic pre-built interface "overlays".
  • It downloads "precompiled" libraries for the core dspace-api, supporting servlets, taglibraries, aspects and themes for the dspace-xmlui, dspace-xmlui and other webservice/applications.
  • This approach only exposes the selected parts of the application that the DSpace committers would prefer to see customizedfor customization. All other modules are downloaded from the 'Maven Central Repository' The directory structure for this release is the following:

    • Wiki Markup
      _\[dspace-source\]_

      • dspace/ - DSpace 'build' and configuration module
      • pom.xml - DSpace Parent Project definition
• Source Release (dspace-<version>-src-release.zip)
  • This method is recommended for those who wish to develop DSpace further or alter its underlying capabilities to a greater degree.
  • It contains all dspace code for the core dspace-api, supporting servlets, taglibraries, aspects and themes for Manakin (dspace-xmlui), and other webservice/applications.
  • Provides all the same capabilities as the normal binary release. The directory structure for this release is more detailed:

    • Wiki Markup
