13:13 iamtimmo I didn't realize that the community call was at noon today, so I was sitting on the conference line for 10 minutes. ;-)
13:29 pdurbin d'oh!
13:29 pdurbin iamtimmo: you are being kept on your toes :)
13:31 iamtimmo pdurbin: I just forgot about the change to accommodate left coast folks. Off to the usual great start.
13:31 pdurbin iamtimmo: are you interested Handle support? That's what the call is going to be about.
13:32 pdurbin Developers Community Call Tuesday May 10 Handles Support - Google Groups - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/dataverse-community/qEX5PvTklNg
13:32 iamtimmo pdurbin: BTW: I've been looking at containerizing Dataverse 4 and noting that the dvinstall suite is not really friendly to this.
13:33 iamtimmo re: today's call: I'm just planning to listen in. We are migrating from handles to DOIs. Have DOIs already. All our Handles are fake and don't resolve to anything.
13:34 pdurbin iamtimmo: we just got a demo yesterday of NDS's work to Dockerize Dataverse. Are you using Docker?
13:35 iamtimmo pdurbin: Yes. Do you have a pointer to that? Is it ready for primetime?
13:36 pdurbin Not ready to be handed over to the community yet. "a few tweaks needed" he said. He being cwillis: http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2016-03-28#i_33305
13:38 pdurbin basically https://github.com/nds-org/ndslabs-dataverse/blob/master/dockerfiles/dataverse/Dockerfile is based on https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/tree/v4.2.3/scripts/vagrant but he had to tweak the scripts a bit
13:40 iamtimmo pdurbin: Thanks. I'll have a look. I'm espescially interested in how they segmented the containers.
13:40 pdurbin iamtimmo: are you interested enough in Docker support to create an issue at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues ?
13:42 iamtimmo pdurbin: I'm experimenting with it to see if will be a manageable approach here. I've configured several of our services to run this way. I'm still a little shakey, though.
13:43 pdurbin ok
13:43 iamtimmo I can see that I would definitely do some things differently than NDS, but there's some really good stuff in there.
13:43 iamtimmo I'm not nearly as far along as they are.
13:43 pdurbin iamtimmo: well, Craig is open to feedback. Want me to try to get him back in this channel?
13:44 iamtimmo Not right now. I'll have a closer look at what he's done and will come back to him. I have his email from the Dockerfiles.
13:45 iamtimmo Thanks, much for the pointer.
13:45 pdurbin sure. sounds good
13:45 pdurbin Odum is also interested in Docker, generally
13:45 iamtimmo Maybe we can form an interest group at the community meeting.
13:46 pdurbin sure!
13:46 pdurbin there are number of new google groups cropping up
13:46 iamtimmo yeah, I'm watching the migration one, as I have to come back to that very soon.
13:47 pdurbin just this morning bencomp emailed me about https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-ansible and I know that bmckinney is using it
13:49 iamtimmo I've been using ansible to provision a standard DV 4 Centos 7 install. Works great. It's based on that one, with some mods. It's mixed in with a buch of other related services, though.
13:49 iamtimmo *bunch
13:50 iamtimmo I think ansible is great and I'm looking forward to using it with Docker, once I get things figured out. ;-)
13:50 pdurbin iamtimmo: cool. I just added ansible to https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2746 if you have any ideas for how to automate testing of it with Travis or whatever.
13:52 bencomp iamtimmo: please contribute your mods to the playbook!
13:52 bencomp or start a discussion with issues
13:53 iamtimmo bencomp: As I mentioned, they are mixed in with some other non-dv4 stuff, so I'll have to find some time to extract them. And I suspect that they will change (become more modular) as I get docker stuff going here.
13:54 iamtimmo Ansible is my hedge, as I expect that I can make stuff work nicely with it, regardless of whether I stick with docker or not.
14:00 bencomp I think the current dataverse role needs to be split into database, rserve and dataverse. And we may want to add a role for the Handle server.
14:00 bencomp but I am going to leave that to others :)

16:04 iamtimmo I'll look forward to reading the notes

19:10 pdurbin bmckinney: does this sounds like a checksum to you? https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/3110
19:12 bmckinney pdurbin: seems like it
19:13 pdurbin just thought I'd put it on your radar
19:14 bmckinney pdurbin: implies that the client (in this case the browser) has passed on something like a checksum so that it can "confirmed to have been uploaded completely" - but maybe in the world of browser multi-part uploads that is simply the size?
19:15 pdurbin oh, true... perhaps size is enough. not sure
19:18 bmckinney pdurbin: for large-data transfers, i feel like the protocol handler should be responsible for this (rsync, sftp, globus, etc) and that after a successful transfer, the checksum should be stored in dataverse metadata
19:19 pdurbin makes sense
19:19 pdurbin I think.
19:19 pdurbin My head is in Private URL. I'm about to make a pull request.
19:20 bmckinney do it, do it
19:20 pdurbin then I can move on to the next thing: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/1070
19:23 pdurbin http://makandracards.com/makandra/527-squash-several-git-commits-into-a-single-commit seems to be working out for me pretty well.
19:23 pdurbin "easy mode" :)
19:26 axfelix joined #dataverse
20:56 pdurbin ok, pull request made: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/3111
20:56 pdurbin feels good :)
