Time	Nick	Message
11:32		donsizemore joined #dataverse
13:52		pameyer joined #dataverse
14:07	poikilotherm	pdurbin nice call :-)
14:07	poikilotherm	Maybe a bit technical for others :-D
14:50		pdurbin joined #dataverse
14:51	pdurbin	poikilotherm: it WAS a nice call. I'm still leaning toward merging Slava's PR more or less as-is and dealing with technical debt later. It's a nice feature.
14:52	pdurbin	Any PHP developers here? https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/iltyP_KGNMo/m/-SftjJ8tBgAJ
15:19	poikilotherm	Pdurbin so do I. The only thing we should fix is not rely on a bloated JS library.
15:19	pdurbin	Yeah, `fetch` ftw.
17:40		lincoln joined #dataverse
18:01	pdurbin	Ok, here's my solution to the PHP puzzle: https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/iltyP_KGNMo/m/Ia3qhoNKBgAJ
18:05	pameyer	pdurbin: diving into php should be extra kudos
18:05	pdurbin	meh, it's not so bad :)
18:09	pdurbin	Now to see if I can convince the original poster to write a PHP client for us. :)
18:15	pdurbin	pameyer: possibily of interest... I'm getting a new VM from FASRC on which to host iqlogbot and it'll be running CentOS 7. So weird that EOL comes first for CentOS 8, from what I can tell.
18:16	pameyer	pdurbin: we've seen the weirdness with EOL dates too. I wouldn't be surprised if we did some cent8 to cent7 transitions because of it
18:17	pdurbin	I'm looking at the dates at https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product
18:20	pameyer	those look like the dates I've been using
18:21	pameyer	do you know what Harvard Dataverse is on?
18:21	pameyer	just occured to me that the CentOS changes might impact amazon linux AMIs
18:23	pdurbin	I don't know. My gut is telling me 7.
18:28	pameyer	me either - but that's how I'd guess too
18:47	pameyer	on the topic of dataverse api clients in other libraries - am I remembering correctly that you've kicked the tires on the python one?
18:48	pdurbin	Yeah, I used it for sample data.
18:48	pdurbin	https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-sample-data
18:48	pdurbin	In practice, it depends on requests so I ended up just using requests directly here and there.
18:49	pdurbin	I'm using a pretty old version of pyDataverse. If it ain't broke.
18:49	pameyer	very true - updates might bring new breakage....
18:52	pameyer	I've been using requests directly too, with some ugliness for interoperating with metadata.
19:55	donsizemore	RockyLinux got pushed to the end of April
19:55	donsizemore	they're promising an RPM-swap for conversion from CentOS
19:56	pdurbin	It'll be interesting to see what people switch to.
19:59	pameyer	yeah - donsizemore is the only one I know who's been brave enough to try the centos stream switch
20:02	donsizemore	the switch was easy. the sssd update that broke system auth was more problematic
20:03	donsizemore	I think it was sssd_krb5, which by itself worked fine but didn't handle previously cached credentials
20:07	pameyer	breaking auth is never fun
20:49		pdurbin left #dataverse
