[EP-tech] Re: import "feature"

Am 30.08.2012 17:37, schrieb Paolo Tealdi:

Dear all,

as you know i'm testing 3.3.10.
Our repository is a "read-only" repository : all records are imported
from another internal software used to collect publication records from
authors. The importing method is via batch file XML.
When i implemented the past repository on 3.2.4 i noticed a strange
behaviour with import program, it seemed not to update records :
--update parameter didn't work when the record was already present. I
resolved deleting and importing new records also per records already
present.
Now with 3.3.10 version the situation seems to be similar: having more
experience with eprints source i debugged the import program again and i
think i'm resolving the problem with this little patch.
The patch below is official, cf. http://trac.eprints.org/eprints/changeset/7773. 

Regards,
Florian

What do you think about ? Am i missed something ? Is it acceptable ?

The import program is called with this parameters :

~/bin/import "EPRINTS_REPOSITORY"  --force --verbose
--enable-web-imports --enable-import-fields --update archive XML
"EPRINTS_XML"

Best regards,
