[PsypherPunk]

Manual testing, full-scale if possible, resulting in deployment description along with feedback/fixes:

• Wayback distribution tested by: BL, IA, LOC, BNF, NULI, NLN
• Memento compliance tested by: LANL

Via Skype, Mat Kelly (@machawk1) verifies the following:

Success on build and install of OpenWayback 2.0.0B2 on OS X.9. Verified the data:// URI and uncompressed WARC fixes.

[machawk1]

MacOS X 10.9.2, required Maven and Java installation (neither are packaged with OS). Other than dependencies resolution, running 2.0.0BETA2 went smoothly in consuming pre-existing WARCs from multiple sources.

7 cases of testing have been reported so far, resutling in 3 new issues. A summary report is as follows:

Test 1. The National Library of Iceland, Reported by Kristinn Sigurðsson
The Icelandic web archive (http://vefsafn.is) is built against OpenWayback 2.0.0-BETA.1, using a WAR overlay. (https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/overlays.html)

This implementation almost replaced the entire user interface of OpenWayback, including a customised PHP search interface that interacts with OpenWayback using its XML query mechanism. We’ve also replaced interstitial screens for redirects and “resource not found”. The timeline banner is retained but extensively modified to match local look and feel.

It was our experience that the user interface of Wayback is too intertwined with the Internet Archive and the English language that we could not adapt it. Replacing it wholesale was necessary.

Our OpenWayback installation uses a CDX index. The back end is fairly standard for Wayback.

Test 2. The British Library, reported by Roger Coram
