Minutes

4.7.4 Release

• Release candidate went out earlier this week
• Attendees encouraged to run through tests
• There have been many big fixes and improvements that have gone into master but have not come out in a point release
• 4.7.4 makes these available in a backwards-compatible way
• Need CLAW and Samvera tests
• Consolidating Spring configuration could be a breaking change
  • Need to pull this commit out and tag RC2
• Need better backwards compatibility testing
  • May involve existing data
  • May require an integration environment , sandbox style
  • We could automate the creation of resources in Fedora for this build process
  • Spin up a release candidate and feed it an import package
  • Provide recipes for different expectations/types of data

Fedora API alignment sprints

• There is a delta between the current iomplemention of Fedora and the spec, which we need to close with these sprints
• First sprint starts Sept. 11 for 2 weeks. Aaron Birkland will coordinate
• Second sprint starts Sept. 26 for another 2 weeks
• Interested folks are encouraged to sign up
• We will also support/encourage other implementations to implement the spec. Need 2 or more to validate the spec

The divide between 4.7-maintenance and master branches

• 4 commits in 4.7-maintenance and should be in master
• These are revert commits for breaking changes that messed up namespaces for existing implementations

Working toward next import/export release

• One ticket still in review
• Ben P is making good progress on version import, but we needn’t wait on this issue to cut a release
  • We can always cut a new release when versioning import has been implemented
• Call for volunteers to do the release
  • Danny B volunteered
  • Jared will help

Adjusting the approach to serving /fcr:assets

• Issues with HTTPS
• Seems to be an NGINX problem
• Fixing this at the Fedora level would institutionalize a workaround
