Yes, SRB has been a part of DSpace for a long time. But iRODS has never been officially proposed, there's nothing in our issue tracker: https://jira.duraspace.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+DS+AND+%28summary+~+iRODS+OR+description+~+iRODS+OR+comment+~+iRODS%29 If you're interested in picking it up and submitting it to DSpace (so that it would be integrated in the next released version), you should create such feature request in our Jira: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS And creating a GitHub pull request against our latest code (master branch) in GitHub: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace Since hardly anyone has access to an iRODS infrastructure, I think an exception could be made with regards to the required amount of testing a feature must get before being accepted as long as it works for you and is not specific for your institution. The obvious benefit for you from submitting the feature to DSpace as opposed to maintaining it as a local customization would be that after it's accepted, you don't have to maintain that custom code locally (starting from your upgrade to the version of DSpace that would contain it).
