[EP-tech] ChangeName script & trying out Objects, Languages, and Configurations.

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Hello lovely EPrints Tech community, =).

I love learning and trying out new things,
and recently had the opportunity to do a lot of that with Version 2 of
a ChangeName script,
now published on the EPrints User Group github here:

https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feprintsug%2FChangeName&data=05%7C02%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ca3b4df453dc24040f9e808dcf9e1858c%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638659994611973642%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C20000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=EVfvhHtzqaHRQOi2qO7Yx4BJABU6TmKkYd%2B%2FtOkzjGA%3D&reserved=0

It's a single file, you can run at the commandline, to change names of
eprint records in an EPrints repository.

I made an 8minute video about the aspects I was recently experimenting
with, as a coder/programmer,
and that's on youtube here:

https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dk3A0hFK5DL4&data=05%7C02%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ca3b4df453dc24040f9e808dcf9e1858c%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638659994611973642%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C20000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=YFGGjozX6ybozwipVpqSt0kPHheRVc6XEHdrtUSfoqg%3D&reserved=0

They were...

* Objects,
* Languages,
* and Configurations.

=).

As these were experiments for fun, there are plenty of flaws in my approaches,
and room for improvement(s), =).

You're welcome to post github issues, for any improvements you'd like
to see, =).

You're welcome to comment on the video, if I've got anything I'm
saying in the video wrong.
I realise I've lots to learn about Design Patterns and POD2, for
example, and may not have known what I was talking about there, =).
(Have since read up more on Strategy Pattern, and usually it's useful
when there could be a variety of strategies deployed - and this video
only talks of one).

You may be an EPrints user rather than a developer or programmer.

Would you be willing to test and share your feedback on the script?

You can read the documentation (presently in German and English)...

...at the commandline via...

perldoc ChangeName.pm

...in a web browser, by copy and pasting the script into the textarea
box here...

https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmetacpan.org%2Fpod2html&data=05%7C02%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ca3b4df453dc24040f9e808dcf9e1858c%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638659994611973642%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C20000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=gNth7Y0c85jf9cbsw26RmzL%2B2Z36UD%2Ble%2F%2BOl5w3v4c%3D&reserved=0

...and you can also generate a html page of the documentation from the
commandline via...

perldoc -oHTML -dChangeName.htm ./ChangeName.pm

...and then view the resulting ChangeName.htm in your web browser.

Typically, assuming you're in the same directory as the script,
you'd run the script in English via:

perl -CAS ./ChangeName.pm --language=en-GB

I've also added a German language version:

perl -CAS ./ChangeName.pm --sprache=de-DE

...and would be curious if the community wants to help translate it to
other languages too, =).

The script runs in dry run mode by default and doesn't actually change
anything in your repository without the --live tag applied.

Once changes are applied, you may wish to ensure your repository's
indexer is running, so the changes are noticed in subsequent searches.

Yours,
