I hadn’t actually seriously hosed Trogool; I’d just mucked up a bunch of permissions that I shouldn’t have, and OSX kindly helped me fix them. Won’t be so careless with chmod and chown next time.
After consulting my boss, I decided to install CVS on my staging server rather than on Trogool. Install went smoothly, I got the 1.4 DSpace beta in no problem, I got Eclipse hooked up to it, and now begins the dull but necessary work of re-hacking old hacks (for the last time, I dearly hope!).
(I do know about Subversion, by the way, but DSpace uses CVS and so does Eclipse, so my hands are tied.)
My phone was ringing off the hook for a Friday. Another new journal, some IE6 problems with the design of an old journal (damn you, IE! damn you!), a possible source of digital audio from lectures… if even half of that comes to pass, I’m a happy repository-rat.
Nova has gone off to the laptop doctor, and should be back sometime early- to mid-next-week.
Bit of a sticky situation involving me elseweb, but I am hopeful that it will be resolved with a minimum of drama. So all in all, I’m glad I ended my week with a day like today instead of a day like yesterday.
