[Dspace-tech] Best (good) practice for building/deploying DSpace

Hi, Does anybody have any info on best/good practice for building and then deploying DSpace. I have a setup as follows: 1. Build server - setup only to build and test DSpace from source 2. Staging server - when build passes all tests it will be

Hi Benjamin, sounds like solid standard practice to me. The only thing I don't like about it is your 1 rsync/day vs. mirrored DB. That will cause inaccessible bistreams for items added in the last day. So a) either reduce the DB contents transfer to 1/day b) or try using some mechanism for live

Helix84, Don't think I made myself clear, each server will have its own dspace.cfg setup for the initial deployment and then the rsync should just copy over what has changed in the core API and modules but not the config etc. This will work will it not? Regards, Ben

[Dspace-tech] Filter-media on TEXT files

Unless I've missed something, it seems that the filter-media only works on files that need to be extracted first (i.e., from word, pdf, etc.) and doesn't do any work on files that are already TEXT. Therefore, the information from these files do not get put into the search indices and are not

Currently, only the TEXT bundle is indexed. See: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/search/DSIndexer.java#L1244 Obviously the ideal scenario here is to also index plain text files directly, but it doesn't look like it works that way. HOWEVER, it

Ben, would you care to document your practices on a wiki page? We don't have such page yet, it could be very useful for some beginners. Especially the processes and techniques for moving code from dev-staging-prod; are you using git branches? patches? shared directories? rsync? How often do you
