Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-devel] DSpace 1.4.2
I wasn't going to push this patch earlier as it rather evolved into a feature enhancement - but thinking about it again, for anyone that has non-English content/authors in their repository, it's actually a useful bug fix: [ 1672065 ] Configurable sort order generation for browse http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1672065group_id=19984atid=319984 If you look at the example Shawna has (it's either on this page, or the next): https://dspace.ucalgary.ca/browse-author?top=Austad%2C+Michele+L The author Žekulin appears in the middle of the list of authors beginning with 'A'. It may not be possible to define a single correct ordering, but in this case the existing behaviour just doesn't work for anyone. Amongst it's other capabilities, the above patch deals with this scenario, and lets people customise the ordering further if they choose. Whilst it allows for configuration, it does not require any configuration changes (closely emulating the existing DSpace behaviour - except for the addition of the character decomposition for the above case). It also doesn't change any existing APIs, or the database schema. The single biggest argument against it's inclusion would be that it adds an additional dependency: ICU4J. Unfortunate, but required for compatibility with earlier JDK releases, without resorting to undocumented Sun classes. The choice, as they say, is yours... ;-) G -- Graham Triggs Technical Architect Open Repository Tel: +44 (0)20 7631 9942 Skype: grahamtriggs On Mon, 2007-04-02 at 10:19 +0100, James Rutherford wrote: Hi All, I'm pleased to announce that work has started on putting together DSpace 1.4.2.
