Developers Meeting on Weds, August 25, 2010
Agenda
- JIRA Catch-Up (for first 20 mins or so of meeting) – starting with issue DS-564
- DSpace 1.7 Features/Updates
- Begin Discussion of potential Asynchronous Release Processes (for DSpace Discovery and possibly REST API)
- General proposal is to find an easy way to install DSpace addons (which would actually be separate Maven Projects, like REST or Discovery) after you've already installed out-of-the-box DSpace.
- Mark Diggory had suggested potentially creating Maven Archetypes (templates) which can be used to assist in installation of external modules. We could also create our own Maven DSpace "Plugin" to allow us to easily call these archetypes.
E.g. In the end, you could run
mvn dspace:install-discovery
to create the[dspace]/dspace/modules/discovery/
directory and add its dependency the[dspace]/dspace/modules/pom.xml
(thus Maven would install Discovery the next time you ran 'mvn package').- The "dspace:xxxxxxx" namespace would be reserved for only "official" addons/modules which you could install on demand. (e.g. 'dspace:install-rest', 'dspace:install-discovery', 'dspace:install-lni', etc)
- More on Maven Archetypes:
- More on Maven Plugins (like the "dspace:xxxxxx" example):
