I am experimenting with depositing a simple METS package into DSpace and 
EPrints. The test package that I am using was given to me by the folk at EDINA; 
originally used in testing by Ian Stewart of OA-RJ into Jorum (DSpace) and I 
also successfully deposited into Jorum using the client from Sourceforge. I'm 
unable to test with Jorum at the moment until management is fully transferred 
to Mimas but recently posted to the list about problems I was having depositing 
into the NDLR in Ireland (also DSpace). Stuart Lewis has been helping me out 
but I have since tried to deposit the same package into http://demo.dspace.org/ 
but that is also failing with a similar message to the NDLR (415, Unsupported 
Media Type).

I *have* successfully deposited the package to an EPrints install though no 
metadata has been picked up from mets.xml (I'm a bit out of my depth but it's 
my understanding that a .zip comprising a file - in this case PDF - and 
mets.xml should go into a repository as a full item with metadata record?)

If anyone is able to help you can get the package I've just deposited from 
http://training1.eprints.org/112/ (though this is a training install so may be 
reset at any time!).

As we want to deposit into EPrints and DSpace repositories I'm particularly 
interested in whether a single package format will work with both.

Thanks

Nick
