[GeoNetwork-devel] CFV / Version 4 improvements

Dear PSC,

here is a proposal to add improvements done with some of the supporting organizations of version 4 to GeoNetwork https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/pull/6188

This CFV ask 2 questions:

  • Do you agree to merge this work?

  • If merged, do you think it should be a version 4.0.7 or 4.2.0 ?

Looking forward to your vote.
Francois

Hi François,

Thanks for the PR.
Did you test your branch uppon main ? We are favor of the merge but we would like to avoid that it brings unexpected regressions, as we are planning to deploy it for geocat.ch.
The idea is to be sure that the merge will be safe and that it is almost the same as your fork which is tested in production.
In that condition, I am favor for the merge.
+1 for me.

I would personally stick to 4.0.x branch.

Cheers

+1 on merging - good improvements Francois, esp the batch update with regexp via the database.

I don’t have a preference on whether version is 4.0.7 or 4.2.0 - happy to go with the consensus on that.

Thanks Francois!

Simon

Hi guys,

I am back from Covid, I see no follow up on this important topic.
Could you please vote for the proposal please ?

I think it’s important to be more reactive, it’s a sign that the community is healthy, the project is active and that the core developers work hand in hand in a common direction :slight_smile:
Thanks and have a nice day.

Ps @Jeroen Ticheler what is the state of the monthly PSC meeting ? Do you take the lead on this or not ? Thank you !

Apologies, I missed this. +1 for it to be merged, +0 on whether it should be part of 4.0.7 or 4.2.0.

What are the implications of it becoming 4.2.0- will we continue to support version 3 installs? That’s pretty important for me.

Thanks

Jo

Hi Florent,

The branch was aligned with main regularly. I’ll align it again this week to fix the new conflicts.

About regressions, there is always a small amount of risk. But even simple approved change could introduce regressions eg. https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/pull/6147. The branch also fix quite old regression added by geocat.ch work eg. https://github.com/titellus/core-geonetwork/pull/39
So the more important thing is to detect as soon as possible and have maintainers to fix the problem.

Did you start your tests for geocat.ch and notice any issues ?

About the numbering, I would stay on a 4.0.7 as I don’t think anyone will have resources to backport changes from 4.2 to 4.0 and to 3.12 branches. Also it does not look that anyone really needs a 4.0.6 as it is now (?) - this PR does not change the database model, the record view is slightly different but that’s probably the only change a default user will notice.

Cheers.

Francois

Ok thanks all for voting.
Let’s merge it then, and let’s stick to 4.0.7, we don’t need useless maintenance work for intermediary minor versions.

Cheers
