Versioning

Wiki Markup
\[last updated: 15 Apr 2008\]

DSpace currently does not support versioning of items. However, there are some general plans in place to hopefully implement this feature for a 2.0 release, based on the work that came out of

Better Windows O/S support - FIXED IN 1.6.0

Wiki Markup\[last updated: 16 Apr 2010\]

Wiki MarkupDSpace 1.6.0 now comes with a new 'dspace' command shell. All commands can be run identically on Unix or Windows systems using this new {{\[dspace\]/bin/dspace}} commandline tool.

DSpace runs fine on Windows, but is still a little bit Unix oriented. Most of the scripts that come bundled are unix shell scripts.

Wiki Markup\[last updated: 15 Apr 2008\]

Most installations of DSpace brand their service, so 'MyDSpace' becomes 'MyXYZ'. At present to do this you have to do a lot of search and replacing in messages.properties. It would be good if a service name could be set in dspace.cfg.

One approach introduces parameter substitution into message texts from dspace.cfg.

\[last updated: 6-Aug-2009\]

The DSpace OAI offers only very basic sets out-of-the-box. Sets are always directly linked to DSpace collections. If customized sets are required, these can only be offered through collection mapping or (core) code changes. This requirement is essential for the DRIVER OAI harvester and some other OAI harvesters

The following Wiki page describes potential solutions for making OAI sets more customizable:
