Getting the hang of things
So I did scheduled maintenance on the production DSpace server this morning… and nothing untoward happened. New teaser page up, the patch I submitted to reduce clickies on submitting more than one item to a single collection works fine (oh, and hey, that patch got accepted! go me!), and nothing’s broken. And now I’m a good little sysadmin, remembering to tar up the known-good install before I start monkeying with it.
I decided Friday that to reduce unnecessary duplication of effort, I’m going to wait until the next formal release of DSpace to build an Eclipse tree for my own haxxies. I’d just go spla if I went to all the effort to re-hack stuff into 1.3.2 only to have them release 1.4 the next day.
I’m kinda getting the hang of this DSpace thing. Not too shabby, a Java know-nothing getting a patch accepted four months into the job.
