I’m very surprised that there’s still not a released version with a fix for this. It effectively means that for 2 months EPrints has had a bug where you can not deposit an eprint in a vanilla install of the software. The user experience for people new to EPrints (and even those with experience) is very disappointing. There has been a fix for it on trunk for some time.

It does feel as though we’ve rather lost our pride in the quality of the software and concept of quality control when releasing new versions. When is the next planned release?

Hi Lizz,

 

In 

 

/usr/share/eprints/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Import/FlatSubjects.pm

 

try replacing the line

 

@vals = map { s/%3A/:/g } @vals;

 

with

 

@vals = map { s/%3A/:/g; $_ } @vals;

 

And give it another try.

 

Regards,

            Justin

Hi,

 

I’m trying to update the subject tree on my 3.3.13 install, and although it seems to complete the import_subject process (now I’ve updated the database), it imports no subjects or divisions.  I’ve copied over the file from my 3.3.12 server, where it works fine.

 

Has the file format changed?  I’ve just been using the default ascii file method.
