Minutes

Nigel visiting to talk about ISLE buildkit changes

  • https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/isle-buildkit/pull/238
    • A massive amount of changes: completely changes the structure of the process manager, adds a lot more features.
    • Fully updated: now PHP 8, at the latest Solr, Tomcat, Alpaca, etc.
    • Release notes will outline for users how to backup before making the change, and how it should be done.
    • Dropping Fedora 5, a couple micro services were dropped (ones that weren’t really used anyway).
    • Links in the documentation with all of the information.
    • Request for testers to play with it and try to break it.
      • Don happy to test it out, Willow reached out to Gavin and Noah to see if they could test it out, Rosie will take a look at it.

Handling Feature Changes and Upgrade Paths

  • What are our expectations before moving on to the next release?
  • Rosie: establish best practices with the Starter Site but limits with this (we won’t be providing scripts)
  • Don: possible to make upgrade paths more approachable for non-developers
  • Seth: can’t automate, but may be able to provide examples on how to make changes. Need to find a way to balance users who want to be completely up-to-date and users who do not want to make changes all the time. Can’t support everyone, but should provide some guidelines on how to maintain their own site.
  • Rosie: could probably do this with a relationship view.
  • Seth: How do we guide people who don’t know how to do it? Or give directions/a rough map on how to do updates?
