Bullet to the electronic brain
My poor test install of DSpace never did act quite right after I messed up its database with the 1.4 upgrade, and today it just seized up and broke right down.
Given how much and how often I abused it, I’m surprised it lasted over a year. First thing I did on the job was installing DSpace on that server.
Eh, well, time for a fresh start. I’ve asked if I can upgrade Postgres while I’m at it.
At Tim Donohue’s suggestion, I’m working on an improvement for this hack that takes into account the configuration option for defining author and subject fields. I have the alteration done, but I don’t dare test it on the production server, and I can’t test it on the test server until it has a DSpace installation that works.
So, yeah, that new patch may be a couple days. Nobody was in a super hurry anyway, I’m sure.
