Notes

Outstanding Wings PRs are reviewed

There were some PRs which were stale and closed

Should they be reviewed?

If somebody is asking for one of them to be reviewed, then we should; otherwise if no one is advocating for a review the perhaps we should not

#3479: LaRita authored a sizeable PR

It never received a review

Chris asked LaRita about this in a GitHub comment

Julie: Has one waiting for review, but has merge conflicts which shall need to be reviewed (#3760)

Wanted a more thorough review before continuing to work to resolve conflicts upstream

Rob Kaufman approved of it more than one month ago

Did nothing substantive, but did introduce changes which dismissed the approving review

Will need to resolve conflicts before approving of the PR?

Questions regarding riiif Gem support arose during the review

If users haven't installed riiif, there might be an issue; this might need to be tested

Inline the ImageMagickInfoExtractor into the Hyrax namespace in order to avoid a hard dependency for Riiif::ImageMagickInfoExtractor

Characterization information isn't extracted by the FITS alone; hence the ImageInfoExtractor step is needed in order to resolve this

Tom: It's okay to special in the Hyrax namespace temporarily

Then, introduce this into hydra_works and pin to the new release

Ultimately, the goal is that hydra_works won't exist after Wings for Hyrax work is completed

PR also makes assumptions about the image format (currently only handles JPEG and PNG formats)

It does make sense; clients can only request these formats from the Riiif IIIF Image Server

Developers might use another IIIF Image Server; they may wish to request a different format from that server

IP might return pyramidal TIFFs; should we be concerned about these other cases?
