Announcements
5.0.1 Release
- Seems like this is ready to go
- Ran into a security issue with a dependency but this has been patched
- RC2 released, has already been tested by a few people
- Still needs Linux and Windows sanity builds, Linux test suite run
- Andrew and Bethany will build on Linux
Publishing CTS Test Results
- We now have a home for test results: https://fedora.info/spec-tests/
- Ideally, those with alternate implementations would run the test suite and issue a pull request to post the results: https://github.com/fcrepo/fedora.info
- Alternatively, would the Fedora committers run the test suite instead?
- Agreement that we should trust implementers to run the suite and report the results
James Silas Creel 's demo of TAMU's CAP frontend for Fedora (15 minutes)
- Needed to edit metadata in Fedora, HTML interface is not fully featured
- Built a Curator's Admin Platform
- Can create new IR views, import metadata schemas
- Visually edit metadata, add fields, batch edit
- Can restrict which metadata properties are available to add/edit
- Available on GitHub: https://github.com/TAMULib/Cap
- Something like a middle ground between the default Fedora HTML UI and a more fully featured front-end like Islandora or Samvera
Status of Ecosystem Tools
- Java client
- No further movement, is there a documented release process?
- Release process is on the wiki
- fcrepo-camel
- Aaron put in a pull request which is ready for review
5.1.0
- Development driven by need
- Some interest in state tokens
- Bring CTS failures to zero
- 3 issues to resolve in addition to state tokens
- Fixing bugs
- Fedora 4 to 5 migration path
- Scope of Fedora 6.0 is an OCFL-compliant ModeShape replacement
- Probably makes sense to focus more on this release than on incremental improvements
Migration tooling
- Fedora 4 to 5 tooling
- Should this be part of the import/export tool or a separate utility?
- A separate tool would be less of a maintenance headache
- Maybe bundle a separate utility into the same import/export pipeline?
- Have we standardized the on-disk format for exports? Is this aligned with a particular version of Fedora? Could be tied to a version of the Fedora API.
- Should this be part of the import/export tool or a separate utility?
Actions
- Checking with Peter Eichmanregarding: UMD is storing checks and results for fixity checks inside Fedora, it would be good to capture this process in the community documentation.
- Danny Bernstein will reach out to Yinlin Chen to see about a fcrepo4-docker release with the 5.0 architecture.
