12:17 donsizemore @pdurbin Punishment, Glutton for is building R-3.4.4 RPMS for EL7
12:31 donsizemore @pdurbin and pameyer: how do we feel about a Dataverse yum repo?
12:32 donsizemore or in a grander sense, a cross-platform packages.dataverse.org?
12:41 pdurbin You don't like having RPMs in Sphinx? :)
13:49 donsizemore joined #dataverse
13:50 donsizemore @pdurbin if we wanted to say lock in R-3.4 it would be user-convenient to offer them in our own repo. debian/ubuntu package structure if things went that far. c.f. https://packages.irods.org/
13:50 tmonson joined #dataverse
13:51 pdurbin donsizemore: oh, I see what you mean now. More control. Seems like a maintenance burden though. I'm pretty sure there's a thing you can configure in yum to freeze certain packages.
13:52 pdurbin tmonson: welcome! Nice meeting you yesterday.
13:52 donsizemore @pdurbin there are multiple ways to freeze versions in yum but not the initial package installation - which is where the consortium(?) repo would come in
13:54 pdurbin How many packages would be in it? Just the two or so we have in the guides?
13:55 donsizemore @pdurbin for now it might be R and r-apache, maybe more down the road. would be sweet to package Dataverse à la Jenkins
13:56 donsizemore @pdurbin if you don't think it's worth the trouble i'll toss out the idea, but R for instance installs multiple packages which the user would otherwise have to manually download
13:56 pdurbin donsizemore: maybe you could prototype the idea on a unc.edu host
13:57 donsizemore @pdurbin absolutely volunteering. more fun than certain Other Tasks ;-)
13:57 pdurbin It's been a while since I hosted my own yum repo: https://github.com/pdurbin/greptilian-yum
13:58 pdurbin Ubuntu was still a new thing to me a few years back so I switched my home server to it. I've been using Red Hat stuff since forever. I thought I'd check out the other side. :)
13:58 donsizemore @pdurbin look at you!
13:58 dataverse-user joined #dataverse
13:58 pdurbin This old dog can sometimes learn a trick.
13:58 pdurbin dataverse-user: good morning
14:00 pameyer joined #dataverse
14:03 pameyer @donsizemore Dataverse yum repo sounds interesting.  I could see a couple of places where things could go wrong (configs, upgrades)... but if we could sort those out, it might improve the install process a bit
14:04 donsizemore @pameyer we can try it skunkworks-style, and if things don't work out, VMware can reclaim the storage
14:04 pameyer https://github.com/sbgrid/data-capture-module/blob/master/jenkins/Jenkinsfile was a big improvement over "use ansible to install, and let me know where it breaks for you"
14:05 pameyer I don't really know what I'm doing with rpm building / jenkins declarative pipelines - so I'm improvising ;)
14:07 donsizemore @pameyer I think that's called "devops"
14:09 pameyer :)
14:25 pdurbin heh

15:06 dataverse-user How does the dataverse deal with IRB related issues?
15:09 pdurbin dataverse-user: hi! There's stuff like "4) If you responded Yes to Q3, are these data sets totally de-identified or was sharing approved by your institutional review board ( IRB)? If you responded No to Q3 please enter N/A here" in this custom metadata block, for example: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.9.1/scripts/api/data/metadatablocks/customARCS.tsv#L8
15:16 pdurbin Does that help?
15:32 dataverse-user Yes
15:37 pdurbin dataverse-user: there's a lot of design work going on right now about sensitive data
15:37 pdurbin Please see https://dataverse.org/goals-roadmap-and-releases
15:41 pdurbin Do you have a question or comment about how to best deal with IRB related issues?
