Also, as an update we now have Dataverse 6.1 installed on RHEL8.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 29 2024 at 16:50):Yes, that's right. I do this myself... I double-zip a file before uploading. I added a reminder to my README here: https://github.com/pdurbin/open-source-at-harvard-primary-data
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 29 2024 at 17:00):In #8029 I've been encouraging people to create a "small chunk" issue to allow the API to accept a flag called unzip=false (or whatever). If this is of interest to you, please go ahead.
Sherry Lake (Jan 30 2024 at 00:16):Just a heads up if at a future date you switch to S3 for storage - with direct upload. Zip files stay zipped on direct upload.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 30 2024 at 13:04):True, that's one way to disable unzipping. :sweat_smile:
