chat log[edit]
<epmclellan> I just re-opened http://code.google.com/p/archivematica/issues/detail?id=1091 * Hukka has quit (Server closed connection) * Hukka (hukka@hilla.kapsi.fi) has joined #openarchives <epmclellan> that needs to be fixed before release <epmclellan> ARTi: berwin221 any ideas on that? <mcantelon> Mike C stashed code to add time elapsed for tasks and paging for AIP storage. <epmclellan> nice <berwin221> see my comment on it * courtney (~courtney@d206-116-196-226.bchsia.telus.net) has joined #openarchives <ARTi> berwin22 pointed out a package I dropped. Ill re take a look at it <ARTi> I had a number of conflicts a while ago, so I cleaned some things up <epmclellan> ah, I think there was a compatibility problem, right? <ARTi> Ill look at it now <epmclellan> thanks * courtney has quit (Remote host closed the connection) <berwin221> try installing that package on the package build <berwin221> then test <epmclellan> sorry, I think that was partly my fault, I ok'd dropping the library * courtney (~courtney@d206-116-196-226.bchsia.telus.net) has joined #openarchives <ARTi> berwin221: it looks like it has conflicts <berwin221> fantasticle <ARTi> w/ libavcodec53 <berwin221> pull livavcodec 53 I think <ARTi> well, its just a little confusing what goes with what now that there is both ffmpeg and avconv <epmclellan> yeah, it's a mess <berwin221> maybe try with packaged install first <berwin221> but I think it's uninstall libavcodec53, and install libavcodec-extra-53 <epmclellan> so I think this is the only problem standing between us and release today <epmclellan> any other dev news? <mcantelon> Mike C added option to globally disabled Elasticsearch indexing. <epmclellan> deployment <mcantelon> I guess for deployment, the RAC deployment? <epmclellan> yes, and UBC <mcantelon> Nice. <mcantelon> UBC was 0.9 RC? <epmclellan> yes <courtney> when is CVA getting 0.9? <epmclellan> don't know at the moment <epmclellan> we haven't scheduled it yet <epmclellan> we still have work to do on UBC deployment, upgrading ICA-AtoM and uploading DIPs to it <epmclellan> setting up AIPsStore etc <epmclellan> but 0.9 release has priority <epmclellan> RAC was interesting deployment involving trip to London Drugs and a car battery <mcantelon> Nice.... <epmclellan> docs news <courtney> they have london drugs in nyc? <epmclellan> production deployments are tricky, I've created a checklist at https://internal.artefactual.com/wiki/Production_deployment_checklist <mcantelon> Mike C worked on the administrator manual, documenting the dashboard configuration pages <epmclellan> courtney: maybe was some kind of american version <epmclellan> I worked on release notes, they're ready to go <courtney> courtney worked on UM <epmclellan> courtney and I worked on release announcement <courtney> mostly ready to go <courtney> that's not quite complete -- need a blip about ICA-AtoM <berwin221> I've done a number of wiki updates <berwin221> https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/MCP <berwin221> https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Transcoder <berwin221> https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Administrator_manual_0.9 <berwin221> https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Creating_Custom_Workflows_0.9_alpha <epmclellan> nice <courtney> berwin221 did the "about" page, too <epmclellan> that it for docs? <courtney> yeah <berwin221> https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Archivematica_0.9_Micro-services <epmclellan> oh yeah <epmclellan> that's a good one <courtney> https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Overview <courtney> ^ berwin221 <epmclellan> getting this ready to go: https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Install-0.9-beta <courtney> we need to do all the redirects when the install download is ready for release <epmclellan> yup <epmclellan> I can do that <courtney> i think there is an asana task... finding <courtney> also, eidete works pretty well <epmclellan> what's eidete? <courtney> berwin221 will get a link to the screencast later today <courtney> screencast software <epmclellan> oh, good <mcantelon> Awwwwsome. <courtney> the other two we tried blow the machine <courtney> also still getting frequent crashes of big comp <epmclellan> what kind of crashes? <epmclellan> you mean while testing Archivematica? <courtney> same as before... random shutdown if i hit enter somewhere <courtney> it's not AM, i don't think <epmclellan> ok <courtney> but it's something that we'll have to deal with <epmclellan> sure <epmclellan> testing? <epmclellan> lots of testing <epmclellan> RAC's test SIP was 17.5 GB, btw <epmclellan> their SIPs range from 5 GB to 38 GB <epmclellan> so this is excellent scalability testing for us <courtney> at CVA, the SIPs should be 35gb, but i was breaking them up for processing <courtney> CVA could be another good scalability test later <epmclellan> RAC is in production!! <mcantelon> :o <courtney> awesome <Sevein> pro-what??? <Sevein> hehe <epmclellan> whoah, I thought silence meant everything was busted! <epmclellan> but I just heard back!! <mcantelon> It's a trap. <epmclellan> "I've run a few transfers through and everything seems to be going great." <ARTi> yay! <epmclellan> and by transfers they mean big fat suckers! <epmclellan> ARTi: fantastic work at RAC <ARTi> you too <epmclellan> thanks! <epmclellan> btw, I got her to reduce compression on the AIP <epmclellan> apparently that has sped things up considerably <epmclellan> we took it from 5 to 1 <mcantelon> Nice. <epmclellan> they have lots of space but not much time <epmclellan> so seemed like the thing to do <mcantelon> Wonder if there's any tech out there to accelerate compression? GPU-enhanced or some other magic? <epmclellan> sounds like something to explore for 1.0 <epmclellan> I think mtg is done? <berwin221> yup <Sevein> congratulations guys <berwin221> I shall leave for office <epmclellan> thanks Sevein <epmclellan> it's been a good week <epmclellan> one pesky little Archivematica release to go * berwin221 has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) <mcantelon> I'm glad we're doing a 0.9.1 too... will be a chance to smooth some things out... <epmclellan> yeah, it seems like a good thing
