No description provided.

Minor formulation notes, but the unresolved question section summarizes all the questions I had as well.

[fenekku]

I think we can remove the "to be able" part to shorten these: "to be able to initialize" -> "to initialize"

[ppanero]

I agree. I had it just for consistency with other RFCs. Lets discuss IRL

[ppanero]

@fenekku Thanks for the review! I fixed/reply to the comments. I also added one unnresolved question that could potentially affect your profiles/falvours RFC.

[ppanero]

This should be amended. Due to implementation constraints it has to be:

invenio-cli --flavour=rdm init

The rest is not impacted.

[ppanero]

Impotant note: No setup.py gets generated by the CLI, which means users will not have the option to extend/add entrypoints with custom development. Shall we allow that?

hello guys. i have tried the installation flow for invenio RDM. i dont understand why the invenio cli is out of the project directory. and using pip is not enough to complete the installation flow, its fine when we use the pipenv outside of the project directory but then we will have two pipfiles one inside the project directory and one outside where the invenio-cli is located.
anyway.. it is a bit confusing but. the installation went alright.. also i was able to create the demo records. but when you want to see the specific records for example https://127.0.0.1:5000/records/5 there is an error:

UnboundLocalError
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'pid' referenced before assignment

..
thanks guys.. just wanted to give my update on the installation flow...

@mb-wali Thanks a lot for the comments. Much appreciated.

1. why the invenio cli is out of the project directory

This will be fixed with the november release. I.e. it will be:

invenio-cli init
cd my-rdm
invenio-cli build

and NOT:

invenio-cli init
invenio-cli build

I.e. it will work much like npm and similar tools.

is this thought only for developers? what about sysadmins?
If I am an institution sysadmin and I simply want to install InvenioRDM as it is. How do I do so?
By install, I mean in a server. Not for development purposes. Is this in the scope of this RFC? Just to setup my brain for the rest of it :)

[fenekku]

The RFC should cover both: a developer that wants to run it locally and a sysadmin (what I often call a 'hoster') that just wants to generate a working repo from the get-go. The main difference will be between main application running in containers behind uwsgi (production) or running on host filesystem (development).

[jbenito3]

um...ok, then the motivation list should include some As a sysadmin... :)

Needs updating:

• .invenio.private files.

Possible more.
