Subject: [greenstone-devel] Archives - Index/assoc: why both?
Message-ID: <!&!AAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAMqkfLKn3i1CvY3Zg+pc6XzigAAAEAAAAEtb1H+TZexMs7JT7EsI2z8BAAAAAA==@orsna.gov.ar>

Hi list,
 
it is well known that every document in import folder generates a folder in
archives after the import process. Then, building process copies all source
files to index/assoc, so we have duplicated disk space needed to host all
files.
 
I have a collection with almost 700.000 tiff files, all imported with
Pagedimgplug. This collection is not a static one, every couple of days we
add new documents, so we have two options:
 
1- Use Lucene and incremental building: this sounds interesting but we have
many problems with parsing doc.xml files, accents and many other things.
 
2- Use MGPP: it works great, we have all the features we need but
incremental indexing is not possible. So every few days we have to reindex
all again, and again... This approach consumes a reasonable time to generate
indexes, but it spends a lot of time copying 700.000 files from archives to
building/assoc, and deleting the old index folder with the other 700.000
files.
 
The questions are:
 
a- Is it possible to link to source files directly from archives folder?.
This will result in saving a lot of time because copying files form archives
to assoc is no more necessary. I remember that someone asked for something
like this, but I canīt find the mail in the email archives collection. I
think that builcol.pl must be modified to work this way. Is there anybody
out there that can do it?.
 
b- Is it possible to add an option to future releases where the user can
choose weather buildcol with source docs in place (in archives folders) or
not?.
 
TIA.

hello every one i am amin
and i got some questions about collection customization in GS3
what i want to do hear is to build a collection whit some pdf file whit Marc
metadata description but i do not want to show the compleate pdfs on the
greenstone
online interface but the only marc metadata descryption should be shown in
the there whit a linke to the pdf file for download , for now the only
search options would be the mark metadata file field to be searched
ok now

1 . is there any way for me to do this whit the standard greenstone plugins
and collections ?
2 . or should i make my own Collections if so i would like to now where to
start at ?

so far i have read the Greenstone3 manual and got farmiliar whit the
architecture consepts and service developments
but i couldent find some good resources for plugin developements if there is
any out there i would appreciate it if some one woulde let me now about it.

Subject: [greenstone-devel] Greenstone 2.81 released!
Message-ID: <491BAE7F.8080509@cs.waikato.ac.nz>

Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce that the Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS/X and
Source distributions of Greenstone v2.81
are now available for download from our sourceforge page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenstone or from 
http://www.greenstone.org/download

Release notes are copied below.

This has been a long time coming, thank you for your patience.

As always, please report any problems or bugs to the mailing list.

Regards,
Katherine and the rest of the Greenstone team.

------------------------------
Greenstone 2.81 release notes
------------------------------

Important changes in this release include, in no particular order:

Installer:
--------------

The Greenstone installer downloads are now created using only open source
software, including Ant Installer (http://antinstaller.sourceforge.net/),
Apache Ant (http://ant.apache.org/), our own search4j (based on launch4j
http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/), and our own Greenstone release kits.

We felt it was essential to move away from our existing, closed-source
installer suite as it was not in the spirit of Greenstone to rely on
proprietary software, and it invited the unnecessary cost of keeping the 
suite
up-to-date.

Using only open source software has also given us the freedom to 
customise the
user experience of the installers. Where a feature was lacking in one of 
the
open source packages, we have enjoyed the ability to "open the hood" and
implement it.

With the development of the Greenstone release kits we are now able to 
generate
  releases of Greenstone automatically and unattended. This process 
takes just
20 minutes, and it has helped us a lot in the development and testing of 
new
features of Greenstone. We have been able to set up a feedback loop, 
where code
  committed one day is included in an automatic nightly snapshot release 
made
available for download on our website the next day. Our users have also
benefited from being able to obtain up-to-date snapshot releases of 
Greenstone
in between our official releases.

These daily snapshots are available through:

   http://www.greenstone.org/snapshots

On Windows, the version number is included in the Start Menu which means 
that
multiple installations of Greenstone will have their own entries in the 
Start
Menu. The installer no longer writes to the registry, so installation no
longer requires administrator privileges.

ImageMagick is now bundled with Greenstone for binary web releases for all
platforms (previously it was only provided on a CD-ROM release) and 
includes
JPEG2000 support. The installer offers the option to install this or not.
You can skip installing it if you already have ImageMagick previously 
installed.

Ghostscript is now bundled with Greenstone for binary web releases for 
Windows
and Mac. The installer offers the option to install this or not.  You can
skip installing it if you already have Ghostscript previously installed.

Importing and Plugin Changes:
------------------------------

Plugin Restructuring: The plugins have been restructured. This has been 
done
mostly for coding efficiency. The most noticeable change is that plugins 
have
been renamed. xxxPlug now becomes xxxPlugin, and some have also had 
their names
  modified or expanded to be clearer. For example, DBPlug is now 
DatabasePlugin,
  PPTPlug is PowerPointPlugin. The complete list of new plugins can be 
seen at
http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Plugins. Old collections should
still build okay in GLI, which will map the old plugin names to the new 
ones.
Command line building should also work, but the configuration file won't be
altered to use the new names.

A lot of work has been done trying to get Greenstone to work properly with
non-ascii filenames. Two versions of the filename are stored, [Source] for
displaying the filename, and [SourceFile] for linking to the file from a 
web page.

The -smart_block option (most commonly seen with HTMLPlugin) has been 
deprecated
. Instead we have a first pass through the documents to find out which ones
should be blocked.

MARCPlugin and MARCXMLPlugin can now map metadata to Qualified Dublin 
Core as
well as Dublin Core.

MARCXMLPlugin now assigns metadata from metadata.xml files.

EMAILPlugin now saves binary attachments as binary files on Windows

ImagePlugin and PagedImagePlugin now offer the -cache_generated_images 
option
to prevent thumbnails and screenview images being recreated each import.

OAIPlugin saves the metadata as Dublin Core rather than moving it all to 
the ex
  metadata set. This means that it won't show up in the GLI unless the 
files are
  exploded. Exploding is now available for OAI records.

ProCitePlugin no longer uses the pc namespace. Metadata is stored using the
field names set in the workform definition, rather than using Field1Name 
and
Field1Value etc..

-reversesort option to import.pl to be used with -sortmeta option to 
sort in
reverse order.

Tidied up OID generation. OIDtype and OIDmetadata options are now available
for each plugin as well as globally from import.pl. Hashing usually 
occurs on
the original file, but some plugins specify that hashing should be done 
on the
Greenstone XML document.

Building and Indexing Changes:
-------------------------------

Improvements to Lucene incremental building. Lucene document identifiers 
now
match Greenstone identifiers, rather than 1, 2, 3. Rebuilding with no new
documents shouldn't break the index.

MGPP and Lucene building tidied up. 'allfields' now means combined 
searching
over all specified indexes (not all document metadata) for both mgpp and 
lucene.
  'metadata' will index all metadata, but no longer reindexes metadata 
that has
already been specified. MGPP indexing over combined fields now works 
properly.

New collection configuration file option: infodbtype. Values include 
gdbm (the
default), gdbm-txtgz, sqlite, mssql. This specifies what database system 
to use
for the collection metadata database. Currently this needs to be added to
collect.cfg by hand, as it is not available in GLI yet.

gdbm: the default, and is what has always been used previously. This is
platform dependent. It transfers between Windows and Linux, but not 
to/from a
Mac.

gdbm-txtgz: A gzipped text version of the database. At runtime, the 
first time
this collection is accessed, it will be unpacked and converted to the
appropriate GDBM database using txt2db. This is a good choice if you are
creating a collection to be used on another operating system, especially if
one or more of those operating systems is a Mac.

sqlite: Platform independent database using SQLite. The new dynamic 
classifiers
  (created at runtime) can be used with this database. See
http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/More_about_classifiers#How_do_I_use_dynamic_classifiers.3F

for more information. Thanks to DL Consulting

mssql: Windows specific database using MS SQL Server. See
http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Using_MSSQL_for_Collection_Database 

for information about how to set this up. Thanks to DL Consulting

Depositor:
------------

Collection editing using the Depositor is now enabled by default for the 
admin
user.

The metadata fields offered for each document can now easily be customised
from the GLI.

By default, the depositor will import and build each document into the
collection when it is added. It can now be easily set up to just "deposit"
the item without rebuilding.

See http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_use_the_depositor for
more information.

GLI
-------

A new right-click file option for binary files that go through a conversion
process to be imported, such as PDF, Word and PowerPoint files. "Replace 
source
document with HTML" will convert the original file to HTML and replace 
it in
the collection. This means that the converted HTML (which may be 
unattractive)
can now be modified in the collection. This is available for Remote GLI too.

A new right-click file option on the collection tree background to 
refresh the
file view. This is useful if you have manually added files to the 
collection
outside of GLI.

MetadataXMLPlugin has been moved 'below the line' in the Plugins panel so
cannot be removed in GLI. If you are using GLI to add metadata, then you 
need
this plugin.

The Export As option now only exports one collection at a time. Collections
can be exported as GreenstoneMETS, FedoraMETS, MARCXML and DSpace archive.

'NavigationBar pulldown' added to the list of format options - this 
makes the
navigation 'bar' a drop down list instead of a bar across the page.

Lots of work done on making the Download panel work better, including 
getting
download processes to terminate when they are cancelled or when GLI is 
closed
while they are still running.

New panel under the Format tab, "Depositor Metadata" which allows
customisation of which metadata fields should be offered in the 
depositor for
that collection.

CJK segmentation option has been added to GLI. This doesn't do proper word
segmentation, but adds a space in between each CJK character. The character
ranges have been expanded to work with Japanese and Korean. It is 
applied to
metadata as well as document text.

New panel under the Create tab allowing the scheduling of automatic 
collection
rebuilding.

Greenstone Runtime:
----------------------

Large code restructuring.  Code is split between common-src, build-src and
runtime-src.  Makes it easer to use code in other projets, such as 
Greenstone 3
and running Greenstone on an iPhone/iPod Touch.

External links now default to going straight to the web page, rather than
showing a warning page first.

Improvements to the oaiserver, thanks to DL Consulting. Resumption token
support has been added, and it now validates against online validation 
tools.

Greenstone now compiles for Linux on 64-bit platforms.  All programs are
compiled natively for 64-bit, except for those that rely on mg/mgpp, which
still need to be 32-bit compiled.  As part of the configure/make 
process, the
correct flags are automatically set, so from the developers point of 
view you
compile up Greenstone on a 64-bit machine the exact same way you do for any
other Unix-based system.

FLI - Fedora Librarian Interface
---------------------------------

The Fedora Librarian Interface (FLI) is very much like GLI in that it 
allows
you to gather together your documents. It then uses Greenstone's ability to
convert documents into the FedoraMETS format so that these can be ingested
(put into) a Fedora repository. The process of building a collection 
using FLI
exports documents into a repository maintained by a Fedora server rather 
than
one maintained by Greenstone. In order to use FLI, you will need to have
Fedora installed. More information on how to install Fedora and set it up
to work with FLI, and how to run FLI itself, can be found in the documents:

1. Installing Fedora (2.2.1/3.0) and Fedora-related information
http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/InstallingFedora

2. Installing Fedora Generic Search (to provide full-text indexing and
searching capabilities for a Fedora repository)

I am sort of confused.  We would like to be able to generate an OAI
compliant file with a colelciton in Greenstone to make available for
harvesting outside of Greenstone via OAIster.  Does Greenstone allow for
this?

 

Thank you.

Hi Arthur and Stephen

Michael from dlconsulting (dlconsulting.com) has done some work on this, and
our OAI server now validates. The 2.81 release contains the new server if
you'd like to try it. You can get it from www.greenstone.org/download

Stephen,

 

Greenstone does have an OAI server as well as an OAI harvester.  However, I
just tried my server with the OAI repository Explorer at
http://re.cs.uct.ac.za/ and it failed.

 

I did also run it through the Data Provider Validation and Registration at
http://www.openarchives.org/Register/ValidateSite and it failed 2 tests,
improper response to an invalid request and a problem with some characters
in the data (this is my problem).  The first problem may be a limit in GS'

We are migrating our digital collections and need to keep our collection OAI
harvestable.  We currently have a presence via OAIster
(http://oaister.umdl.umich.edu/o/oaister/) and have intermediated through
the Los Alamos Gateway at:

 

http://libtest.lanl.gov/

 

Does Greenstone allow for the building of OAI compliant XML files that are
successfully intermediated via a standard gateway and harvestable with
OAIster?

 

The following page suggests the inverse:

Any suggestions to approach this goal would be greatly appreciated.  Thank

The latest version of Greenstone 3 needs lots of changes to catch up and 
work well again, because our focus in the recent weeks was all on 
Greenstone 2 for its release.

Therefore, for now, use the version of Greenstone 3 you have. In a 
little while, GS3 will be sufficiently updated for you to work with the 
latest from SVN. The SVN url (from TRAC) for GS3 is
svn co http://svn.greenstone.org/greenstone3/trunk greenstone3

2. About your language translation questions, I've forwarded them to the 
person who knows a lot about the language interface for GS and GLI. 
Though the developer in question is out of the country at the moment, I 
am hopeful they may respond when they find the time.


3. > how ever the error had changed since whit out the javahome varible
 > tests previosly it was like bellow
Probably this is because the error output code has changed.

The old error message you encountered said:
 > Content-type:text/plain ERROR: Java failed -- do you have the Java
 > run-time installed? JAVA_HOME environment variable not set. Might not
 > be able to find Java unless in PATH
Therefore, will you try again after adding Java's bin library to your path.

For instance my PATH starts with:
/opt/jdk1.5.0_10/bin:/opt/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/javac:/path/to/apache-ant-1.6.5:
/path/to/fedora3/server/bin:/path/to/fedora3/client/bin:/opt/jdk1.5.0_10/jre:<more>

As you see in the above, I have the PATH to the JRE at the end. Try that 
first. Otherwise (and I hope this is not necessary), you can try to add 
your JDK's bin folder and javac to the PATH, similar to how my PATH 
contains them both.

Tell me how you get on,
Anupama

Subject: [greenstone-devel] Greenstone 2.81 released!
In-Reply-To: <491BAE7F.8080509@cs.waikato.ac.nz>
References: <491BAE7F.8080509@cs.waikato.ac.nz>

Hi everyone,

As mentioned, one of the new features in Greenstone v2.81 is the ability
to schedule the automatic rebuilding of a greenstone collection using the
GLI.

Scheduling will require some configuration in order for it to work. The
following link has more information on how to do this for each platform:

http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Scheduled_Collection_Building_from_the_Librarian_Interface

Regards,

Wendy

The ticket would start out as unassigned. Then anyone who wanted to fix 
it can accept it by entering their username. If we think it is an urgent 
problem we will fix it ourselves as soon as possible.

Yes that will do nicely.

Just the source files you have modified.
> and who manages all the updates to be made or not ?
Someone in the Greenstone team will look at the changes and run some 
tests and then decide whether to commit them to the repository. Please 
send us an email to alert us when you have submitted changes, as we 
might miss it otherwise.

Katherine,

 

I greatly appreciate your response.  

 

My understanding of OAI is cursory at best, but I thought that OAI
compliance required supporting  the Dublin Core scheme/format?

Hi Stephen

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were after. I guess what you want is the
ability to export a collection as OAI (currently we provide MARC, METS,
DSpace formats).
I'm not sure what kind of file  OAIster wants
Is the file you are after like the result of an OAI request? Can you set up
your Greenstone with an oai server, send a request to it, and then save the
XML result as a file?

If you wanted to try this, you can use our OAI server to test the format
before setting up your own one.
http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/gsdl-svn/oaiserver

If this is not suitable, then I guess the answer is no. If this is something
that many people might want to do, then we could look at maybe implementing
it in the future.

I hope this helps,
Katherine

Hi Arthur and Stephen

Michael from dlconsulting (dlconsulting.com) has done some work on this, and
our OAI server now validates. The 2.81 release contains the new server if
you'd like to try it. You can get it from www.greenstone.org/download

Stephen,

 

Greenstone does have an OAI server as well as an OAI harvester.  However, I
just tried my server with the OAI repository Explorer at
http://re.cs.uct.ac.za/ and it failed.

 

I did also run it through the Data Provider Validation and Registration at
http://www.openarchives.org/Register/ValidateSite and it failed 2 tests,
improper response to an invalid request and a problem with some characters
in the data (this is my problem).  The first problem may be a limit in GS'
oaiserver.

We are migrating our digital collections and need to keep our collection OAI
harvestable.  We currently have a presence via OAIster
(http://oaister.umdl.umich.edu/o/oaister/) and have intermediated through
the Los Alamos Gateway at:

 

http://libtest.lanl.gov/

 

Does Greenstone allow for the building of OAI compliant XML files that are
successfully intermediated via a standard gateway and harvestable with
OAIster?

 

The following page suggests the inverse:

Any suggestions to approach this goal would be greatly appreciated.  Thank

Subject: [greenstone-devel] Re: trouble building greenstone3 from source
Message-ID: <492B8158.1000907@cs.waikato.ac.nz>

Skip the previous email I just sent. Below is the same, but with some
important corrections.

Hello Andrew,

I tried compiling up a fresh checkout of Greenstone 3 from SVN on the
Windows machine here and did not encounter this problem. However, this may
be because my settings for Java are set up in such a manner that it worked
out.

- Do you have a JDK installed on your machine?
- What is your JAVA_HOME set to?
- Do you have the following files in your JAVA_HOME\bin folder:
javac
javah
java
javadoc
jar

I do not know to what extent you are familiar with programming, but seeing
as how you are compiling up GS3 from SVN, I thought I could explain the
following to you so that you can try out a few things to narrow down where
the problem might be.

Concerning this bit that you referred to:
 >> compile-packages:
 >>      [echo] compile javagdbm
 >>      [echo] Windows: compile javagdbm (java only)
 >>      [exec] Compiling...
 >>      [exec] The system cannot find the path specified.
 >>      [exec] The system cannot find the path specified.
 >>      [exec] The system cannot find the path specified.
 >>      [echo] Install the javagdbm jar file

These print statements happen in your Greenstone3/build.xml file (around
line 1200).

At the stage this happens, the build.xml is calling the makefile
"winMake.bat" located in your Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm folder and
passing the arguments "compile" and "javaonly".

During execution of this makefile, some directory path is referred to that
it cannot find, causing the compilation to fail at this stage which then
causes the build to fail when the javagdbm jar file has not been produced.

1. In a DOS prompt, can you go to the directory
Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/ and then from there type:
winMake.bat compile javaonly
Does it give some error statements here?

2. If so, can you go one directory further down into a folder called java
(so that now you are in Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/java) and type:
winMake.bat compile
Are there any error statements appearing here now?

If there was no error output in doing either 1. or 2. above, neither 3 nor
4 below are necessary:
3. If you open up the file Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/winMake.bat
in Wordpad (Notepad doesn't preserve the lines very well), you will see
that the arguments "compile" and "javaonly" to winMake.bat cause it to
call another winMake.bat makefile located
at Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/java, passing it the "compile" 
argument.

The first question is, do you have a folder called java situated inside your
Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/? And does
Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/java contain a file called winMake.bat?

4. If so:
When opening up the Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/java/winMake.bat
file in
WordPad, you may perhaps notice that it refers to lots of directory paths.
It stores many of these paths in variables marked by ALL_UPPERCASE.
Sometimes it may happen that in reality these paths contain spaces like
"Program Files". This could cause problems if spaces are indeed involved,
unless such paths are embedded in quotes.

Can you replace the following section in your
Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/java/winMake.bat file with the bit that
follows it:
 >>>>REPLACE FOLLOWING:
:compile
         if not exist %JAVACLASSDIR% mkdir %JAVACLASSDIR%
         echo Compiling...
         %JAVAC% -d %JAVACLASSDIR% %JAVACOPTIONS%
au\com\pharos\gdbm\*.java au\com\pharos\io\*.java
au\com\pharos\meta\*.java au\com\pharos\packing\*.java
au\com\pharos\test\*.java au\com\pharos\util\*.java
         %JAVAH% -classpath %JAVACLASSDIR% -o %JAVAGDBMHOME%\jni\GdbmFile.h
au.com.pharos.gdbm.GdbmFile
         %JAR% cf %JAVAGDBMHOME%\javagdbm.jar -C %JAVACLASSDIR% au
         goto done
<<<<

 >>>>REPLACE WITH:
:compile
         if not exist "%JAVACLASSDIR%" mkdir "%JAVACLASSDIR%"
         echo Compiling...
         "%JAVAC%" -d "%JAVACLASSDIR%" "%JAVACOPTIONS%"
au\com\pharos\gdbm\*.java au\com\pharos\io\*.java
au\com\pharos\meta\*.java au\com\pharos\packing\*.java
au\com\pharos\test\*.java au\com\pharos\util\*.java
         "%JAVAH%" -classpath "%JAVACLASSDIR%" -o
"%JAVAGDBMHOME%\jni\GdbmFile.h" au.com.pharos.gdbm.GdbmFile
         "%JAR%" cf "%JAVAGDBMHOME%\javagdbm.jar" -C "%JAVACLASSDIR%" au
         goto done
<<<<

Now, back in your DOS prompt, from within the
Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/ directory, type:
winMake.bat compile javaonly

Do you still see the same problems?

5. If the above changes did not fix the errors, we can print out the
values of these paths to make sure they are all set to something that
makes sense.

After the line
set JAR="%JAVA_HOME%\bin\jar"
in your Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/java/winMake.bat file,

can you paste the following bits between >>>> <<<<:
 >>>>
echo javagdbmhome: "%JAVAGDBMHOME%"
echo javaclassdir: "%JAVACLASSDIR%"
echo.
echo javac: "%JAVAC%"
echo javah: "%JAVAH%"
echo java: "%JAVA%"
echo javadoc: "%JAVADOC%"
echo jar: "%JAR%"
<<<<

Go back to your DOS prompt and from within
Greenstone3/src/packages/javagdbm/java/ type:
winMake.bat compile

Hopefully it should now print out all the values of the paths above so
that you can see whether any of them is conspicuous. For instance:
- Do all the printed paths have a value or is any left as ""?
- And when you look for these folders in Windows Explorer, are you able to
find all the folder paths which were just printed out to the DOS prompt?

Tell us how you get on,
Anupama

Hi Armin

Thank you for the translations. I will look at getting them in to 
Greenstone today.
Please zip up the other files and send them to me 
(greenstone_team@cs.waikato.ac.nz). I assume you have just modified 
files for the librarian interface? What version of greenstone were you 
using? A release, or did you get it out of svn?

Thanks,
Katherine
