When generating the Other Entries line in def, it should look like this:

Other entries containing this morpheme: 0 [not a link]

Other entries containing this morpheme: 3 [link which retrieves them]

Left early to get my bike tyre fixed.

This is a call to remove B587055A.xml from the coldesp collection, as it is a duplicate of B587056A.xml.

B587055A.xml is incomplete in its transcription of a private letter found in the 398/1 image collection. B587056A.xml, however, provides a complete transcription and, moreover, it follows the correct sequence within the 398/1 image-collection.

Started work on the literary references, and got this done:

• /data/litref now contains /drama/ and /library/, making it possible to search all of that content simultaneously.
• "Literary references" now replaces "Dramatic references" as the caption.
• Content is correctly being retrieved.

However, the chunks in the library are now too big, so we need to re-imagine how this is going to work. What we actually need to do is to use ft:query and return a bunch of KWIC segments, and make each KWIC segment a link to the source document with a search on that item.

I'll try to get this done by the end of the week.

MDH has put the Editing Manual, Notes on Definitions and Gloss-Tagging, and Editorial Decisions files into the SVN repository, and SMK has taken these files off Googledocs. We will now be editing our local copies and committing changes to the SVN repository.

361 new images (in three different sizes) have been added to the collection. These cover the second part of BC 1859 Despatches from London.

Implemented requests 1 through 3 in the Wishlist post, and also added parsing for informants so that their names are shown as tooltips when mousing over a <bibl> with which they're associated.

Re the other three wishlist items:

• Place Names to have their own page: Sounds reasonable, but we now have quite a few pages, so it might be a good idea to revisit our menu and see if we can subdivide it somehow.
• Personal Names don't appear in main entries, but only on their own page: I think the first part of this would be a mistake, for reasons I've explained in email.
• Mapping bibls to elicitation dates: Not practical right now, because we don't have the data.

Received from SB request for Announcement(s) updates.

I was following these instructions to enable unattended upgrades to Lucid, and I hit a known bug with the unattended-upgrades package: the default runlevels for Start and Stop are wrong. I found this page, which suggested the following fixes, which worked.

Symptom: after installing the unattended-upgrades packages, you get this:

update-rc.d: warning: unattended-upgrades start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (0 6)
update-rc.d: warning: unattended-upgrades stop runlevel arguments (0 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (none)

Solution:

sed -i 's/Default-Start:[\t ]*0 6/Default-Start:/' /etc/init.d/unattended-upgrades

sed -i 's/Default-Stop:/Default-Stop:\t\t0 6/' /etc/init.d/unattended-upgrades 

dpkg-reconfigure -u unattended-upgrades

Following that, I edited /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades to enable both security and regular updates, and to allow reboots when required. Jenkins seems to cope OK with reboots.

Updates to departmental websites, db backups, updates to Jenkins box including a kernel update, and waiting to confirm that Jenkins builds that had been broken were now OK.
