Minutes

1. 4.7.4 Release

   It's done.  Jared Whiklo had issues with bad html within Javadocs but worked around it.  Now on to 4.8 or maybe 5.0?  Jared will send a note to fedora-tech to let people know it's available.

   There's a PR on the 4.7 maintenance branch to bring the RC back in which will need to be handled with care given the nature of the commits to the RC branch.  It might be best to wait for Andrew Woods to get back before moving forward on this.

   Fedora Alignment Sprints

   People are encouraged to go through the differences and add to the Delta document.  There are also several issues in the fcrepo-specification queue that will bring changes to Web AC and are worth checking out.

   Versioning the root node

   Consensus was on removing the feature because it is not well advertised through the API and not something we want users to embrace.

   Pair-Tree Nodes

   Jira

   Proposal to create a Prefer header value to allow clients to selectively traverse the tree, which would result in more smaller requests during traversal.  The root node was observed to take over 15 minutes to load, and was timing out during re-indexing.

   ...

   1. 1. Released last week — any comments or concerns?
      2. Michael Durbin, Esmé Cowles: we've deployed to production and haven't seen any issues
      3. Jared Whiklo mentioned he didn't have permission to create new wiki space for documentation
         1. Andrew Woods will document the process so it's easier for the next release
      4. David Wilcox: we'll send out an official release announcement once the docs are done
   2. Import/Export Utility
      1. Ben Pennell hasn't gotten any feedback on https://github.com/fcrepo4-labs/fcrepo-import-export/pull/109
         
         1. It's a pretty big PR, significant refactoring of import
         2. Esmé: I haven't looked at it much, but plan to test and review when I can
         3. Mike: I plan to review it, probably next week.  I can test against my production repository, so that will be a good large-scale test.
         4. Danny Bernstein: I'll also test it
      2. Import/Export verifier
         1. It would be good to have this for large-scale testing
         2. Shouldn't hold up #109, but it would be useful for testing it
      3. Is anybody using the Import/Export utility now?
         1. Not yet, but some are close
   3. Upcoming API alignment sprints
      1. Several people are signed up for the upcoming sprints to align Fedora 4 with the API spec
      2. Delta document coming along
         1. Esme: API spec editors have been working on versioning recently, that part of the spec is pretty solid
         2. Danny will review that part of the delta document
   4. In-flight ticket review
