I don't know – is ROAR still a trusted source? The record numbers of each repo haven't been updated since years.

The message "The statistics currently shown are wrong but the harvesting operations should restart over the summer."

is there since years. Which summer was meant? Statistics stopped in 2016, its now 6 years later.

Also, ROAR list 32 repos for Switzerland, OpenDOAR 42 (+31%).

Kind regards,

Martin

Hi all,

There is a script running on the Bazaar that requests /cgi/counter on all the EPrints repositories listed on ROAR to update usage counts of Bazaar plugins on a weekly basis.  The counter files are cached in a directory, so I ran a command to extract and collate the version numbers from all these cached /cgi/counter files, as long as they had been updated in the last 30 days. (I assume that it will have successfully cached once in the last 4-5 runs):

      4 3.2.5
      1 3.2.7
      5 3.2.8
      3 3.2.9
      4 3.3.10
      3 3.3.11
      8 3.3.12
      2 3.3.13
     20 3.3.14
      1 3.3.14eps
     52 3.3.15eps
     82 3.3.16eps
      1 3.3.6
      2 3.3.7
      1 3.3.9
     14 3.4.0eps
     21 3.4.1eps
     19 3.4.2eps
     46 3.4.3eps
      1 3.4.4eps
      1 eprints-3.0.3-rc-1(EPrints3.0.3-rc-1(Felix)[Bornon2007-08-28])
      1 eprints-3.0.5(EPrints3.0.5(Puffin)[Bornon2008-04-21])
      1 eprints-3.1.0(EPrints3.1.0(GreenTea)[Bornon2008-09-08])
      7 eprints-3.1.3(EPrints3.1.3(DolphinFriendly)[Bornon2009-05-13])
      1 eprints-3.2.0(EPrints3.2.0(TomatoSoup)[Bornon2010-03-10])
      4 eprints-3.2.4(EPrints3.2.4(VictoriaSponge)[Bornon2010-09-06])
      1 eprints-branch-3.1-2009-11-14-r4636(EPrintsBranchBuild-eprints-branch-3.1-2009-11-14)

I have noted that no new repositories seem to have been added to ROAR since 2019.  I am not sure why this is.  (I can see an 3.4.4 version above, which was only released last month, so the version numbers for previously added repositories are clearly getting updated).  The old physical server that it use to run ROAR did break and I have to recover it and put it onto a VM around about the same time.  It looked to be working OK after I did this but I did not extensively test.   I recently tested after I noticed no new repositories had been added in the last couple of years and I did not have any problems setting up and account and creating a new eprint repository record.  Although, I never attempted to put it live.  Has anyone on here had problems using roar.eprints.org to add new repositories?

Regards

David Newman

Dear Tomasz, dear Adam, dear List

 

hit me if this is too simplistic, but if you already have the list of URLs (by opendoar), just loop over all instances with curl and grep Version from cgi/counter:

 

$ echo "Universitaet Zuerich (UZH)"

$ curl https://www.zora.uzh.ch/cgi/counter 2>/dev/null | grep version

version: 3.3.16 eps

version_description: EPrints 3.3.16 (Gelato Blizzard) (EPrints Services)

version_long: EPrints 3.3.16

version_alias: Gelato Blizzard

$

 

We’re doing this to watch out our top-5 neighbour-Repos … just in case, we’re getting to old 😉

Betreff: Re: [EP-tech] how many EPrints repository instances running 3.2 or earlier

Feels like a quick script could use the predictable /cgi/counter path to collate this, starting with an opendoar export for the URLs.

Hi everyone!  I am coming back from an absolutely fascinating iPres2022 conference (https://ipres2022.scot/), finishing up the final draft of my conference paper about the EPrintsArchivematica plugin (https://github.com/eprintsug/EPrintsArchivematica) and I thought of a questions that I'm hoping someone might be able to help me answer: 

 

OpenDOAR reports 632 Eprints repository instances;  how many EPrints repository instances are running on a version of EPrints that is less than 3.3 (for example, EPrints 3.2)?  How many on a version that is than 3.3.12?

 

Tomasz
