Learning to Think Like a Package Maintainer

Lots of great digital preservation applications and services exist, however very few are actively maintained and thus preserved! This is a big problem! By introducing the steps to develop these and engage the support of the community, this training course looks at what can be done to improve this situation. Specifically, this training course looks at how to prepare packages for submission into the very heart of many digital environments; the operating system and directly associated “app-stores”. Attendees will be given hands-on experience with developing and maintaining packages rather than software and key differences will be discussed and evaluated. Better preservation of preservation tools, means better preservation our digital history.

  1. Understand the complexities of package management and distinguish between the different practices relating to both package objectives and chosen programming language.
  2. Be able to carry out advanced package management operations in order to critically appraise current packages and propose changes.
  3. Understand the importance of clearly defined versioning and licenses and the role of clear documentation and examples.
  4. Apply best practice techniques in order to create a simple package suitable for long term maintenance.
  5. Evaluate a number of options for managing package configuration and behavior relating to package installation, removal, upgrade and re-installation.
  6. Analyse opportunities for automating package management and releases, maintaining a clear focus on the user and not the developer.
  7. Critically evaluate opportunities to generalise package management to allow the easy building and maintenance of packages on multiple platforms.
  8. Assess the potential to apply package management techniques in your own environment.

Abstract

Legal aspects of digital preservation activities and the legal risks that motivate digital preservation are often underrepresented in digital preservation and computer science conferences, tutorials and workshops. But legal aspects are influencing nearly all preservation activities, and at the same time provide a strong motivation for preserving digital artefacts. The TIMBUS project endeavours to enlarge the understanding of the preservation of business processes and services. One focus of the project is the research of legal questions
