[Archivesspace_Users_Group] [archivesspace] Re: v1.1.0 maintenance plugin

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi Steven,


Excellent question. The plugin will include a subset of the commits to master. We're going to cherrypick commits that can fix smaller (especially EAD import/export)  or critical issues. Major fixes and feature requests will be saved for formal releases.


It's a bit of a departure from the formal release cycle, but we had feedback from a lot of members who didn't like having frequent updates. We ran into a counter problem of having longer time between updates equated into longer wait times for fixes. I'm hoping this will work as a easier way to apply needed patches.


If this works, I think future releases could have the maintenance plugin checked out and loaded by default, so pulling patches will be even easier...


Let me know what you all think...


best,chris.

Just to verify: If you are building ArchivesSpace from github  master these patches are already included, yes?
[ Looking at  'git diff master v1.1.0’ , that is my impression. ]

But this does seem to be a handy way to distribute patches.

I'd also suggest using Git. If you clone the the repo into your plugins folder, you can just pull it and retreieve the updates.

To install:
cd plugins
git clone https://github.com/archivesspace/aspace-110-plugin.git

 you'll now have a aspace-110-plugin directory in your plugins folder.
( Be sure to enable this plugin in your config/config.rb )

When it's time to update:

cd plugins/aspace-110-plugin
git pull

you're done.

So every time a new v1.1.0 maintenance plugin is released,
I’ll see RSS feed activity, and I should replace our current
maintenance plugin? Is that it? Brilliant!
Thank you,

Hello everyone,

The ArchivesSpace team with community participation are releasing a maintenance plugin. This plugin will contain small bug fixes and functionality additions that have been incorporated into the main code base to give sites that use the plugin access to these fixes and features without having to wait for a new release. The current release has the following fixes:

https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/81850480 (  As an archivist, I would like to be import EAD in a way that groups the containers to their instances )
https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/79104156 ( As an archivist, I would like containers to be EAD exported in  way that groups them to their instance )
https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/81687020 ( Search All display error when  Events are present )
https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/81106404 ( Finding Aid filing title not in EAD export )
https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/386247/stories/81202652 ( Tweak to default sort in Public UI )


Big thanks to Mark Cooper with LYRASIS hosting team for the idea and making this all happen.

For more details, including usage instructions, see the plugin github repository:

https://github.com/archivesspace/aspace-110-plugin

The plugin will be updated over time and you can subscribe to an RSS feed for updates.

Please let us know if you have any questions!
Regards, ArchivesSpace Team
