Fedora 3 served from Sourceforge

[ksclarke]

Sourceforge is in a world of hurt right now thanks to a "storage platform bug". This breaks being able to download Fedora 3 because it's served from Sourceforge. Perhaps the fedora script should be changed to get the software from the fcrepo3 GitHub site? https://github.com/fcrepo3/fcrepo/releases

@ksclarke Thank you for this update - you saved me significant debugging time as I've been trying to install a fresh copy of islandora_vagrant today.

[ksclarke]

Hmm, seems the fcrepo3 release on GitHub doesn't have the installer (it's just a code snapshot). There is a University of Kent Sourceforge mirror though (if getting it from a third party is acceptable for the Vagrant build -- or it could still be pulled from GitHub and built, which would be more time consuming): http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/downloads.sourceforge.net/f/fe/fedora-commons/fedora/3.8.1/fcrepo-installer-3.8.1.jar

@MarcusBarnes Sure, np, one of our programmers ran into this issue today too.

[ruebot]

@awoods or @barmintor, would it be possible to add the jars to the release page?

[awoods]

Sure... rebuilding 3.8.1 now.
However, I am getting ConfigA test errors, so I would rather not post that installer.
Do you have a copy of the the installer that I can post "informally"?

[ruebot]

@awoods yeah, I'll build it now. I built it last week just fine, but I destroy my vagrant box that did it. Should we also put up the jars for previous releases? I can take care of that if you would like.

[awoods]

Thanks, @ruebot. I would rather not encourage the community to use 3.x versions other than 3.8.1, so let's hold off on publishing previous installers until there is public outcry.

[ruebot]

...well...we use them to test various forms of fcrepo with islandora_vagrant 😉

[ruebot]

...or should we just hard code islandora_vagrant to fcrepo 3.8.1?

[awoods]

Do you currently test a certain set of 3.x versions?

[ruebot]

...our TravisCI setup tests 3.5, 3.6.2, and 3.7.0. Still need to update that to test 3.8.1 at the least.

We officially support 3.5, 3.6.2, 3.7.0, 3.8.0, 3.8.1(RC1,RC2,RC3). (According to our documentation.)

[mjordan]

@ruebot IMO we should hard-code islandora_vagrant to use 3.8.1. I can't think of a good reason not to, other than to test specific issues with older versions of FCREPO.

[ruebot]

@mjordan works for me.

I'll let other folks who have contributed to this project chime in: @lo5an @whikloj @ksclarke, thoughts?

[ruebot]

@awoods here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/435xttxd4acz745/fcrepo-installer-3.8.1.jar?dl=0

If you want to verify the maven build output, let me know and I'll paste it in here.

"hard-code islandora_vagrant to use 3.8.1"

👍

[mjordan]

Doing that would also resolve #77.

[awoods]

https://github.com/fcrepo3/fcrepo/releases/tag/v3.8.1

Please sanity test.

[ruebot]

@mjordan indeed!

@awoods testing now. thanks!
