Hi Markus
We are close to ready to publish our first service to VESPA so I spoke to Baptiste Cecconi to review it. Unsurprisingly my structure is not yet ideal. I setup a single git repo which contains multiple resources, leading to an additional folder layer when cloning it into /var/gavo/inputs. I called it “res”, so the command goes gavo imp res/ecallisto/q which works fine but DaCHS usually complains with a warning: “RD res/ecallisto/q: resource directory '/var/gavo/inputs/ecallisto' does not exist” which, well, yes, the 2nd directory is missing the /res/ folder, of course it doesn’t exist.
Baptiste advised to switch to a git repo for each resource, which seems a good idea as that seems to have become the standard way to do it. So my question at this point is:
Can I easily migrate the location of the resource descriptor (and python-metadata extractor) without having to re-import the whole thing (after all we have currently ~7.8M files). Is there any action needed at all or can it just be moved? If necessary I can manually adjust the rd-path in the DB (or other places where this might be stored?)
P.S. (as per our short discussion on github) I have to admit I am not a big fan of these old-school mailing lists... its not really searchable and finding related content is pretty much impossible, best bet is google-searching the archive-site. So at least for issues I find github a lot more convenient and accessible, also it allows sophisticated formatting such as code highlighting 😊 but of course there is no real benefit as long as I'm the only one using it :D
Support is another thing, but even there are (in my opinion) better ways. At least something like a google group would already be much easier to browse and search through topics that were already addressed.
Cheers
Silvan
