DSpace 7 Entities Working Group (2018-19): Next meeting on Tues, Feb 5 at 16:00 UTC
Discussion Topics
If you have a topic you'd like to have added to the agenda, please just add it.
(Ongoing Topic) DSpace 7 Status Updates for this week (from DSpace 7 Working Group (2016-2023))
(Ongoing Topic) DSpace 6.x Status Updates for this week
These topics are ones we've touched on in the past and likely need to revisit (with other interested parties). If a topic below is of interest to you, say something and we'll promote it to an agenda topic!
new Context() is treated as a new database transaction.SessionFactory.openSession() for READ-ONLY Contexts (or any change of Context state) to ensure we are creating a new Connection (and not simply modifying the state of an existing one)? Currently we always use SessionFactory.getCurrentSession() in HibernateDBConnection, which doesn't guarantee a new connection: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-6_x/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/core/HibernateDBConnection.javaHelp us test / code review! These are tickets needing code review/testing and flagged for a future release (ordered by release & priority)

Tim Donohue [2:01 PM] @here: it's DevMtg time. Agenda is at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DevMtg+2019-01-30 Let's do a brief roll call to see who's able to join today James Creel [2:01 PM] Greetings Mark Wood [2:01 PM] Hello. Terry Brady [2:01 PM] hello Tim Donohue [2:02 PM] Hello usual crew :wink: It seems like this meeting is mostly only the four of us these days (though, there are a lot of DSpace meetings nowadays -- and plenty of others in other mtgs) So, as noted in #dev, this agenda has been very static as of late. I'd welcome folks to bring topics for discussion (either today or in coming weeks). This is often the last agenda I am able to even think about in a given week. In any case, we can see where discussion brings us today. I'll admit, on the DSpace 7 side, I don't have much to say today. Development is ongoing & very active. There will be much more to discuss in tomorrow's DSpace 7 meeting (agenda forthcoming) I did get a chance last week to meet with the core contributors (Atmire & 4Science), and I'll be reporting out about that tomorrow Ditto on the DSpace 6 side. I don't have any updates myself Are there any updates / questions anyone would like to share on these first two? Otherwise, we can move quickly along to some of the ongoing hot topics (#3 and #4 on the agenda) Ok, no one typing, so I'll assume no questions/comments Moving right along then to Solr Server upgrade: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Upgrading+Solr+Server+for+DSpace Any updates to share this week @mwood? Mark Wood [2:08 PM] I've been covered up with other stuff recently, but today I verified that the current code builds, 'ant fresh_install' succeeds, and the result "looks right". Tim Donohue [2:08 PM] :tada: Mark Wood [2:08 PM] I'm at home due to weather closure, and discovering all the stuff I don't yet have installed, which would be useful for testing this. At the moment I have spring-rest running, and now I need to get the GUI up and see if it can actually talk to Solr. Oh, I also verified that one can simply copy the Solr cores to wherever standalone Solr will look for them, and they'll start. Tim Donohue [2:10 PM] Enjoy your frigid temps at home, @mwood. I'm betting you are in the same realm as I am...currently -17 F (-27 C) outside where I am. Terry Brady [2:10 PM] Yikes! Tim Donohue [2:10 PM] It's good to hear it's "working" Mark Wood [2:10 PM] Ow! We're actually up to +1 F. Terry Brady [2:10 PM] We are having an unusually sunny winter here James Creel [2:11 PM] 50 F and cloudy in central TX Tim Donohue [2:12 PM] We've set a record today in temps...and aren't getting back to 0 F until sometime tomorrow. Strangely, we're supposed to get to nearly 50 F by the weekend...so, yes, on a roller coaster :wink: In any case...back to Solr! Mark Wood [2:12 PM] There is an issue that we'll need to at least mention in the setup doco: Your Solr admin. (if that's not you) may want you to name your cores specifically, and that will affect core.properties and various DSpace configuration properties. (Think: a large Solr install, even a cluster, with many cores belonging to different applications.) In the simple case, though, you can just copy [DSpace]/solr to somewhere that Solr looks at, and it should be enough. Also get used to seeing Solr on port 8983 instead of 80 or 8080. Anyway I'll write up something on "if your Solr admin. tells you what core names are wanted, here are the places you'll need to edit." Tim Donohue [2:16 PM] Could we document where/how Core names affect DSpace configuration? Doing so could give us a better picture of whether to split out some new configurations to make this easier -- e.g. we could have a "discovery.solr.core = [name]", etc. Oh, you just answered my question :wink: Mark Wood [2:17 PM] Generally we'll need to help DSpace installers translate between DSpace concepts and Solr concepts. It shouldn't be difficult or lengthy. That's all I have for now, unless there are questions. Tim Donohue [2:18 PM] I don't think I have specifics, other than...what are the next steps here? Is this ready to review & think about merging? Are there more TODOs? Did you get the Solr Schema stuff merged in (from @terrywbrady)? Mark Wood [2:19 PM] Ah, no, that is still to be done. That's next. Tim Donohue [2:20 PM] Ok, so, it sounds like you have some docs to update & schema updates. After that, I'm assuming we might be ready to look for reviewers? (by docs, I mean some general notes about migration) Mark Wood [2:20 PM] Yes. I think we agreed that this PR is done when fresh_install works and the schema updates are in. Tim Donohue [2:22 PM] Ok, sounds good. Feel free to ping us then when this is ready for review. Any general notes/docs you can draft would also be helpful (so we can all start to get our minds around the big picture for the migration) Mark Wood [2:22 PM] OK. Tim Donohue [2:23 PM] Sounds like we're done with that topic then. Moving along... Any Docker updates to share, @terrywbrady? https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/~terrywbrady/DSpace+Docker+and+Cloud+Deployment+Goals James Creel [2:24 PM] I mean to review a PR this week -although I'm new to Docker (having used it only at a Fedora camp once) Terry Brady [2:24 PM] I am still waiting on reviews. I really want to merge the docker config changes before we plan the webinar. Thanks @jcreel256 James Creel [2:24 PM] The site wants me to register - is that legit? Terry Brady [2:25 PM] I created a dockerhub account. Eventually you will want to push images, so it is legit James Creel [2:25 PM] Ok, understood Terry Brady [2:25 PM] Give me a shout if you want a walk through. Ultimately, I think the new instructions will be much easier to follow. I have one tiny PR that will make the DSpace 7 images easier to use: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2337 Tim Donohue [2:27 PM] Ok, so, sounds like no other major updates there. I can give that PR a :+1: Terry Brady [2:27 PM] Thanks @tdonohue This issue led to my questions about setting the env variables with dots in their names. Tim Donohue [2:29 PM] Ok, so it sounds like we've wrapped up our topics for today. Are there other topics for discussion that anyone would like to bring up? Terry Brady [2:29 PM] I had hoped to resolve the issue by setting an env variable. If I get some time, I want to see why apache commons is not reading those vars correctly. No other issues here Mark Wood [2:30 PM] If a shell ever gets to handle those names on their way from Docker to DSpace, it may be doing Bad Things to them. Terry Brady [2:31 PM] @jcreel256, this presentation might also help with the Docker PR: https://gitpitch.com/DSpace-Labs/DSpace-Docker-Images/helper_cmds GitPitch GitPitch Slide Deck Modern Slide Decks for Developers on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Terry Brady [2:31 PM] (The presentation itself is now part of the PR) This will eventually become the presentation that will be used at the DuraSpace webinar. Tim Donohue [2:33 PM] Any other discussion topics / questions for today? If not, I'm wondering if we should wrap up early & give you back some of your day Terry Brady [2:34 PM] Sorry... one quick item The community leader for Eclipse Che reached out to both @Patrick Trottier and I to learn more about how DSpace uses the Che editor. That is the "eclipse for the cloud" that was part of Codenvy and is now part of openshift.io. I indicated that I had hit a dead end with Codenvy, but I said I would be eager to share more after I get a chance to try out the newer version of Che. If you hear of anyone else who is looking at cloud based IDE's for DSpace, let me know. Tim Donohue [2:37 PM] Sounds good, @terrywbrady. I'd be interested in hearing updates on your discussions with them. Has the payment model for Eclipse Che changed after moving to openshift.io? Just curious if things are mostly the same as at Codenvy, or if we know Terry Brady [2:40 PM] I think Che is open source, but you need to host it somewhere. There is a free tier at che.openshift.io. I will be curious to see how well it handles DSpace. On Codenvy, the size of our generated application killed the IDE server once all the jars were loaded. (edited) The free tier had 3 license agreement docs that I have not yet digested. Tim Donohue [2:41 PM] I see. OK Final call then, any other topics for today? Ok, not hearing any. As noted at the beginning of the meeting, feel free to bring topics to this meeting (or pass them my way). I'm always glad to get something new on the agenda, or dig deeper on a topic Thanks all! We'll consider the meeting complete. Have a good rest of the week! Mark Wood [2:43 PM] Thanks! James Creel [2:44 PM] Take care, all Terry Brady [2:44 PM] have a good week |
