Discuss https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/6694
1. This arose from multiple difficulties encountered in Hyku upgrade
2. See slack conversation that happened prior to the dev channel
3. This refactor is an attempt to name many magic arrays.
4. Vision is that the application would define the class names for the collection, admin_set, and file_set.
5. FileSet.find is referenced, and there would likely need to be an ActiveRecord adapter method for downstream implementations that still assume FileSet.find
Hyrax’s “double_combo” branch is working except for the copy of files from Fedora to another storage location.
Browser Stack integration for testing, as the open source project this should be free for Samvera. We would need to add to the readme that we’re testing with that tool.
1. Avalon has been using this for years, in particular for mobile and testing of AV support. They’ve been using the open-source setup. You are granted only so many active users at a time.
2. Heather will be getting this moving.
Avalon’s pushing forward a IIIF Manifest gem updates. There’s no product owner, so Avalon team minted gems.
1. Chris will put forward some PRs to remove Karen as product owner and indicate they are vacant.
Bulkrax upgrades are happening with a focus on Hyrax/Hyku backwards compatability; providing configuration options.
Hyrax’s application generation is building off of Zeitwork loading; and getting this on Rails 7.
