Minutes

1. ISLE Phase 3 - Full Steam Ahead

   • 
   • Phase 3 is wiring Fedora and back end to Drupal, etc.
   • Not scaling yet but will be able to do so in the future.
   • Great job to everyone working on this. It's going smoothly.

2. Issue Roundup

   1. Add fields and RDF mapping to Document media type
      • Drupal 8.8 introduced Document media type. Needs to be “Islandora-ized”.
      • Should check how Drupal is treating this type vs File (default allowed extensions, intended purpose, etc).
      • Maybe we say Document preferred but we need to treat them the same so there isn't a problem.
      • Bethany will take this issue.
   2. Intermittent WSOD with FITS
      • Most FITS fields aren’t searched on, probably only need to capture 2-3.
      • Add a try/catch for now to avoid WSOD and work on permanent fix later.
      • Would be nice to hide superfluous fields on SOLR since FITS make a lot of empty fields.
      • Interesting test - create a content type with many fields (@mjordan suggested 1k fields but we could work our way up to that). See if there is a problem with MySQL and where it makes sense to use Postgres.
   3. Solr config isn't imported when provisioning
      • There is a difference between enabling a feature as a module and importing it. This feature needs to be imported on top of enabling it to make it work properly.
      • Danny also cleaned up some residual playbook stuff where we had to enable/disable/enable modules to get them to work properly.
   4. Homarus doesn't work on private content
      • Need to add token to private content to get FFMPEG to work. Need to add header to request.
   5. Bad maven URL in Pax Exam
      • URL is http rather than https. There is a PR for this. Three thumbs up == Merged during call. \o/
   6. Update Migrate Source CSV to 8.x-3.2
      • We’re on 2.1, they’re on 3.2 so we should update. Just need to edit Islandora module’s composer.json
      • Jordan: there’s a change record on the major version jump which’ll require some re-writing: https://www.drupal.org/node/3060246
      • Will also check other dependency updates (geerlinguy’s stuff)
      • Ansible 2.9 is broken for multiple reasons. Won’t be able to use it at all until underlying roles get updated.
      • Matomo also needs some fixes. Hard-coded host, etc.
   7. Grok fails to build on CentOS 7
      • When we switched to Ubuntu 18.04, compiling Grok involved pulling in libraries that conflicted with our customized ImageMagick.
      • Updated Grok to 3.1 and it worked for Ubuntu but didn’t test on CentOS and of course it doesn't work.
      • Fix might be as easy as manually setting Grok version back to 2. Seth is working on this and will also test Grok 4 to see if that fixes it.
      • If 4 doesn’t work, will put in a PR to split versions.
   8. Condition plugins are sometimes being double-negated
      • Please test PR. Now it returns straight true/false rather than negating negations.
      • Not hard to test, just tedious.
   9. Remove deprecated keyword "context" from Conditions
      • PR in but hasn’t passed auto tests. Danny is going to work on it some more.
   10. Islandora_7x_migrate: Make source PID available to default (MODS) row type
       • PR that adds PID to the item being imported if it doesn't already exist.
