Hyrax Questions

Hello everyone, some of our users would like to add links (URL) instead of files as the main content of their work. Has anyone of you ever tried to do this?
- https://samvera.slack.com/archives/C0F9JQJDQ/p1654159705489929
- This could only be provided currently using the descriptive metadata fields (e. g. related URL), however, one can have a Work in which files are not required for ingestion/submission
- Julie volunteered to follow up with this
can someone point me to where the hyrax statistics MySQL tables are consumed? I can only seem to find them in the schema and migrations for creating the tables. trying to figure out how to get our _stats tables under control
- https://samvera.slack.com/archives/CA8ANGLEL/p1654542710451699
- James will need to investigate the Hyrax statistics table structure, and is not certain what consumed means in this context

Fedora Questions

We have a hyrax repository (3.2 release) running on a Centos server (migrating it to Ubuntu and containerizing it, but that is a longer term project). I'm sure that I missed some setting in migrating from 2.2 to 3.2 (though everything worked in a local development environment), but now, when an object is submitted, the object metadata is written to fcrepo (4.7.4), but the uploaded files are not.
I have combed through the log files and cannot find anything that is of help. Is there a hyrax/fcrepo expert that could offer suggestions?
- James will contact the community member for more information, but this may well need to be fielded by another community member
Hi all, I am the release manager for Fedora 6.2.0 and was wondering if there was anyone here that might be willing to try the release candidate 2 out against the Valkyrie connector and let us know if you experience any problems. You can document your finding on the release testing page, or ping me in Fedora Slack or here.
- James will create an Issue on GitHub for this, but this should be a trivial update for CircleCI using a Docker Image
