# Shift in Community Focus

During 2017, the [Samvera community](http://samvera.org/) consolidated [Sufia](https://github.com/samvera/sufia) and [CurationConcerns](https://github.com/samvera/curation_concerns) into [Hyrax](https://github.com/samvera/hyrax):

* [planning notes on consolidation](https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=87461232))
* [release notes on the bridge of Sufia to Hyrax](https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/releases/tag/v1.0.1)
* [release notes on the bridge of CurationConcerns to Hyrax](https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/releases/tag/v2.0.0)
* [Samvera documentation for developers and managers](https://samvera.github.io)

The Samvera Community effort has shifted its attention to developing out Hyrax.




















A Hydra-based Rails Engine that extends an application, adding the ability to Create, Read, Update and Destroy (CRUD) objects (based on [Hydra::Works](http://github.com/samvera/hydra-works)) and providing a generator for defining object types with custom workflows, views, access controls, etc.

## Prerequisites

Curation Concerns requires the following software to work:

1. Solr
1. [Fedora Commons](http://www.fedora-commons.org/) digital repository
1. A SQL RDBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL), though **note** that SQLite will be used by default if you're looking to get up and running quickly.
1. [Redis](http://redis.io/), a key-value store. The `redlock` gem requires Redis >= 2.6.
1. [ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org/) with JPEG-2000 support.
1. [LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/)
1. [FITS](#fits) version 0.8.5.
1. [FFMPEG](#ffmpeg)

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'curation_concerns'
```

Then execute:

```bash
bundle install
```

Then run the install generator. You will be prompted if you want to overwrite the default `app/controllers/catalog_controller.rb`, to which you should type `Y` (yes). If you don't want to be prompted on overwrite, you may run the generator with the `-f` (force) option.

```bash
rails generate curation_concerns:install
rake db:migrate
```

### FITS

To install FITS 0.8.5:
* Download [fits-0.8.5.zip](http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/fits/files/fits-0.8.5.zip) or possibly newer from the [project page](http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/fits/downloads). Unpack it somewhere on your machine. Alternatively, use homebrew on OSX: `brew install fits` (you may also have to create a symlink from fits.sh -> fits in the next step).
* Mark fits.sh as executable (`chmod a+x fits.sh`)
* Run `fits.sh -h` from the command line and see a help message to ensure FITS is properly installed
* Give your app access to FITS by:
* Adding the full **fits.sh** path to your PATH (e.g., in your **.bash_profile**), OR
* Changing **config/initializers/sufia.rb** to point to your FITS location: `config.fits_path = "//fits.sh"`

## FFMPEG

Curation Concerns includes support for transcoding audio and video files with ffmpeg > 1.0 installed.

On OSX, you can use homebrew:

```bash
brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis
```

Otherwise, to compile ffmpeg yourself, see the [CompilationGuide](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide).

## Usage

### Generator

To generate a new object type, use the `curation_concerns:work` Rails generator. Follow the usage instructions provided on the command line when you run:

```bash
rails generate curation_concerns:work
```

### Virus Detection

To turn on virus detection, install clamav on your system and add the `clamav` gem to your Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'clamav'
```

## Testing

If you are modifying the curation_concerns gem and want to run the test suite, follow these steps to set up the test environment.

```bash
rake ci
```

Or you can do all the steps manually:

```bash
solr_wrapper -p 8985 -d solr/config/ --collection_name hydra-test

# in another window
fcrepo_wrapper -p 8986 --no-jms

# in another window
rake engine_cart:generate
rake curation_concerns:spec
```

### Workflow

Load the workflows, workflow states, transitions and user roles:

```
$ rails curation_concerns:workflow:load
```

Now that the Roles are loaded, grant the appropriate roles to the users by visiting the "Workflow Roles" section of the admin dashboard

[Further documentation](https://github.com/samvera/curation_concerns/wiki/Defining-a-Workflow) for defining and customizing workflows.

_Something about notification should go here._

### Adding Sample Data to Test Application

Sometimes when working with the test application, it can be helpful to have a repository populated with some number of objects. Rather than having to create them all through the user interface, which can be timely, the test application bundled with CurationConcerns provides a rake task that automatically creates 24 objects in the test application repository with different titles, levels of visibility, embargoes, and leases:

``` bash
cd .internal_test_app
rake db:seed
```

### Configuring the Administration Panel

To configure the Administration Pane see [Admin Menu Guide](https://github.com/samvera/curation_concerns/wiki/Admin-Menu)
