[EP-tech] DROID / Preservation Toolkit

Hi,

I have two questions about DROID, the DROID and Preservation Toolkit Bazaar plugins.

1) Has anyone been able to update the DROID plugin to work with DROID 6.1 ? DROID 4 is quite outdated (from 2009), but DROID 6.1 has changed the command line options and doesn't export anymore XML format directly.

2) Although DROID 4 works on our test server (tables file and pronom are being updated), it fills our indexer.log with many error messages (probably due to the fact that we use it with JRE 1.8). Any thoughts why these errors occur and what can be done to eliminate them?

Excerpts from indexer.log:

All directories and files were set to writable for user apache, the files  DROID_config.xml, log4j.properties and DROID_SignatureFile.xml are at their place where they should be (lib/bin/DROID/ ), and I have also fiddled  with Java CLASSPATH either in cfg.d/droid.pl  or directly before the exec("droid") statement in lib/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Event/DroidScan.pm by setting the Perl $ENV{'CLASSPATH'}  hash.


Best regards,

Martin
