On Monday, a project meeting to plan the release. Then I went back to working on the page for KF’s and DD’s Sonnet work, which needs to list sonnet sequences; got that working by the end of the day, which wasn’t trivial.
On Tuesday, added a sonnet genre control to the poem search page and tested it.
Then went back to working on the process to do a partial build, omitting some
periodicals. I’m now approaching this by making a partial copy of the repo in a
folder called purged
, and processing the XML into there to remove the
unwanted periodical, then initiating a full new build in that folder. Debugging this
turned out to be quite time-consuming, because for example the context is no longer
that of the svn repository, so svn commands need to be re-homed; quite a few changes
were needed to the main build process to support this new context. But by the end
of the day it was basically working, at least locally, and I was deep into tweaking
it so that it would run as a separate job on the Jenkins server so that we can proof
the future site.
Also on Tuesday, OCRed English Illustrated 1890 and 1900.
On Thursday, helped figure out an image naming issue.
On Friday, ran the complete set of link checks, put the result in a document, and started working through them. Very laborious but unavoidable.
