15:57 bjonnh is there a way to use a dataset as a template for another one?
15:57 bjonnh or do I have to create a template first
16:07 donsizemore joined #dataverse
16:24 pameyer I think you need to create a template; at least if you're doing it through the UI
16:24 pameyer if you're using the API, you can use the JSON of an existing dataset as a template (that's the easiest way I've found to do it)

17:19 bjonnh pdubrin: yep too much text
17:19 bjonnh pdurbin:
17:34 pdurbin bjonnh: heh. I assume you're talking about https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/3943#issuecomment-313460618 :)
17:37 bjonnh probly
17:37 bjonnh the one I received few minutes ago by email
17:37 bjonnh I also like icons
17:37 bjonnh so you know what it is about without reading
17:38 bjonnh icons/colors/…
17:38 pdurbin yeah, the icons are nice
18:48 bjonnh pameyer: as it is just a joke, I'm not going to do it on the github. But 640K would be sufficient for everybody
18:48 pameyer :)
18:48 bjonnh sorry :p
18:49 pameyer it's probably a bad sign that your joke got me thinking about ascii vs unicode, and bytes vs bits… :(
19:11 pdurbin bjonnh donsizemore pameyer "we using docker in production" https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/3938
19:12 bjonnh pameyer: don't think about that
19:18 bjonnh pdurbin: yes I did see that
19:19 pdurbin bjonnh: cool. I'm confused by all the DLL generation stuff I'm reading at https://github.com/nds-org/ndslabs-dataverse/issues/8
19:20 bjonnh I'm not really sure
19:20 bjonnh isn't that for people that want to migrate the scheme ?
19:20 bjonnh I mean I was doing the docker for dev first, so not with already populated DBs…
19:21 pdurbin I don't know. I'm confused. I don't know docker.
19:21 bjonnh well they talk about DDL
19:21 bjonnh I don't think it is docker related
19:21 pameyer think it's reasonable to assume they mean db schema?
19:21 pameyer and not some abbreviation that's not data defination language?
19:22 bjonnh that's what I guessed
19:22 bjonnh I think some java people use DDL
19:22 pdurbin not sure what the abbreviation means... to me a dll is a windows equivalent of an "so" file in linux
19:22 bjonnh not sure I've seen it anywhere else
19:22 bjonnh I may be wrong
19:22 bjonnh pdurbin: yes but they wrote DDL not DLL
19:22 pdurbin oh, duh, thanks :)
19:22 bjonnh :)
19:23 pameyer I *think* I know what's going wrong there
19:23 bjonnh I know that feeling :p it happens to me all the time
19:25 pdurbin I promised to pipe down at https://gitter.im/nds-org/ndslabs?at=57e2aec0df21a757301703dc
19:30 donsizemore @pdurbin you know mike conway? small world!
19:31 pdurbin donsizemore: oh sure: http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2016-09-16#i_41405
21:22 donsizemore joined #dataverse
21:24 pdurbin pameyer bjonnh ah, it's <property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="create-tables"/>... the DDL thing. All has been explained: https://github.com/nds-org/ndslabs-dataverse/issues/8#issuecomment-313523417
21:25 pdurbin now I'm looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_definition_language
21:26 pdurbin "A data definition language or data description language (DDL) is a syntax similar to a computer programming language for defining data structures, especially database schemas."
21:26 pameyer sounding like db schema was the right general area
21:26 pdurbin knowing is half the battle
21:27 pdurbin pameyer: yeah, you win a Dataverse sticker :)
21:27 pameyer non-interactive config for the installer *might* simplify some of the dockerfile prep
21:27 pdurbin hmm, true
21:33 donsizemore @pdurbin i plunked out most of those updates locally before these random issues started popping up =(  the thing left to think (i think) is that craig broke out the database table creation
21:37 jri joined #dataverse
21:45 pameyer @donsizemore probably because craig needed to hook up to a non-localhost postgres in a different container
