Hi, Symlink DSpace project is stopped now.
ad to Shane Beers reply -- it would be nice to have everything in central repository. But DSpace doesn't support many features that is needed for downloading big video files - all the things behind such as load balancing, data flow optimalization etc. (it is usual that the servers providing video files are overloaded from time to time, especially when students download captured lessons at the end of the term before exams :-)). That's why we have used the symbolic linking - all the things for optimizing doesn't depend on anything in DSpace. However I can't say "there's no better way how to solve it". The symlinking seemed to be the most elegant way at that time. That's all I would like to add :-) Vlastik On Sun, 25 Nov 2007, NS Hashmi, Information Systems and Computing wrote: > Hi, do you have a demo in action?
