[Archive-access-discuss] heritrix-3.1.0-beta: tildas in warc filename

[Graham, L. <lg...@lo...>]

This is just a comment, as it may not be an issue for other institutions. But we have noticed in heritrix-3.1.0-beta that warcs are written with tildas in the filenames. From the documentation, these are to indicate host and port and pid values in the filename.

After consulting with our respository tool development team here at the Library of Congress, we will likely rename these files going forward, replacing the tildas with hyphens.

While our current bit preservation inventory tool accepts the tildas, and while there are lots of issues in filenames in general, which any system or set of tools will need to deal with, we've decided to take this extra renaming step. It only takes a moment, and it's one less possible issue to track in our work going forward.

Again, just a comment.

Thanks,
Laura Graham
