[EP-tech] Antwort: Re: Digital Preservation in EPrints

Hi Tomasz,

the command line version of DROID 6.x does not support the FileCollection XML report as it was created by DROID 4 and used by the Preservation Toolkit Bazaar package, see also discussion on https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/droid-list/odOGT7ccn2I

I have somewhere on my disk the tar file for DROID 4. Please contact me off-list if you want to have it. It runs with Java 1.6 or higher - we run it with Java 1.8.

DROID 4 is indeed outdated. We noted that even with the most recent PRONOM signature files, it does not recognize the format of about 4% of our PDF files, while spot checks revealed that DROID 6 does recognize the format.

It is still on my todo list (in the course of the SUK P-2 project Digital Life Cycle Management) to make the preservation toolkit compatible with DROID 6.

Best regards,

Martin

The preservation toolkit is really quite old now.  It it’s important, perhaps there’s some community effort that can be directed at it.  I’m happy to assist as much as my current job allows.

Subject: [EP-tech] Digital Preservation in EPrints
 
To use the Digital Preservation Toolkit (http://bazaar.eprints.org/142/), DROID (http://bazaar.eprints.org/143/) is required. DROID runs on Java.
The DROID bazaar plugin mentions “DROID v.4”
Meanwhile current version of DROID is on Version 6.2.1 (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/manage-information/preserving-digital-records/droid/)
Given that we are running EPrints 3.3.12, what is the recommended setup for this?
Should we try to find DROID v4 or can we run the latest version of DROID?  
If we need DROID 4, where do we get that?  Also, what version of Java does that require?
Current version of DROID  requires a minimum of Java 6 Standard Edition (SE), built and tested on Java 1.6 update 30.
 
Tomasz
