EPrints 3.3.15 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) - Debian Package
Available under License GNU LGPL 3.0. 2MB |
Abstract
The current EPrints 3.3.15 deb package available at deb.eprints.org will not install on Ubuntu 16.04 because the apache-mpm-prefork package no longer exists. It is possible to create a fake package to meet this dependency but that will mean that EPrints will inevitably still be using Apache's MPM Event module. This has been known to have Segmentation Fault issues. It has been identified that Apache's segmentation fault is due to the LibXSLT.so shared object installed by libxml-libxslt-perl DEB package. As it has been ascertained that this package is no longer need to perform any core features of EPrints it has also been removed as a dependency. Therefore, this DEB package is simply the original 3.3.15 with the preinst file modified to replace the apache2-mpm-prefork dependency with just apache2 and remove libxml-libslt-perl completely. General testing as well as the unit tests have been performed on an installation using this DEB package. A couple of minor issues have been noted: 1. A deprecation warning for the use of '\C' in a regular expression the escape_char function of URI/Escape.pm 2. Unit tests for SWORD fail. Both these issues have been fixed in GitHub (https://github.com/eprints/eprints/) since Eprints 3.3.15 was realised.
