Tim Donohue updated DS-456:
---------------------------
Status: Volunteer Needed (was: Received)
> Create easy upgrade scripts (e.g. 'dspace upgrade 1.6 1.7'), likely in Java
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DS-456
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-456
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: DSpace API
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
> Priority: Major
>
> This came up during DSpace Developers meeting on Jan 6, 2010.
> Essentially, it'd be nice to have an easy script to perform most major
> upgrade tasks for you. For example, having a user run the following from
> command-line in order to upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7:
> dspace upgrade 1.6 1.7
> This script would be Java-based, and could auto-update your configuration
> files (where that's possible) as well as perform database upgrades, or any
> other changes that need to occur. DSpace used to use Java-based upgrade
> scripts in the past, for example see:
> https://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/administer/Upgrade11To12.java
> Here's the discussion pertaining to this feature that occurred on Jan 6, 2010.
> [15:49] <stuartlewis> http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-295
> [15:49] <stuartlewis> Read the last comment.
> [15:50] <stuartlewis> We can most cleanly add some new bitstream formats by
> including a new file containing just those two.
> [15:50] <stuartlewis> But this file will just be for "upgraders".
> [15:50] <stuartlewis> We don't have any upgrade files other than the db
> upgrade scripts.
> [15:50] <stuartlewis> So where should other upgrade files go?
> [15:51] <lcs> the file could go in config/registries with an "upgrade" name
> so it's with the others.
> [15:51] <stuartlewis> dspace/etc/upgrade-files/15-16/ ?
> [15:51] <richardrodgers> sure
> [15:51] <stuartlewis> I'm happy with either suggestion
> [15:52] <lcs> a separate upgrade-files subdir is more tidy but wouldn't it
> take a lot of doc changes?
> [15:52] <stuartlewis> lcs: No - as this is the only upgrade file so far
> (assuming we leave the db upgrade files where they are)
> [15:52] <grahamtriggs> action for future - ideally, we should just have a
> single 'current' version of these registries, and tools that compare with an
> existing installation, add new entries (possibly remove old ones that aren't
> referenced)
> [15:53] <mdiggory> For one of the upgrades theres actually java classes that
> are executed, like...
> [15:53] <lcs> ah, i was thinking that the whole beauty of it is that future
> db upgrade files would go there too, but that gets complicated with
> oracle/pgsql..
> [15:53] <mdiggory>
> https://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/administer/Upgrade11To12.java
> [15:53] <tdonohue> seems reasonable to keep in separate upgrade-files folder.
> maybe we can eventually figure out a way to move the db upgrade files there
> as well
> [15:53] <stuartlewis> Ok - so shall I create that dir, and use it just for
> this file for now?
> [15:53] <mdiggory> I wonder if we should have a more java centric upgrade
> process here...
> [15:54] <stuartlewis> "dsrun org.dspace.upgrade 1.5 1.6"?
> [15:54] <mhwood> No objection here.
> [15:54] <stuartlewis> ...but we can leave that for 1.7 :)
> [15:55] <stuartlewis> Ok - I'll do that then.
> [15:55] <tdonohue> or even better "dspace upgrade 1.6 1.7" - sounds like
> something for 1.7
> [15:55] <mdiggory> true... I just think the config / etc dirs are getting a
> bit out of hand
