GS2.84 to GS2.85 collections (srclink_file to srclinkFile)

[ak19]

Eduardo del Valle Perez rote the following to do with hyperlinks to original docs not working because of srclink_file to srclink_File changes:

It would be very useful if there is some way 2.84 and older collections can be automatically converted to 2.85 without requiring a rebuild.

srclinkFile not srclink_File

Dr Bainbridge suggested a simple sed operation that users can do from the command line:

The following works:

On Linux

source setup.bash

db2txt collect/<colname>/index/text/<colname>.gdb | sed "s@srclink_file@srclinkFile@g" | cat | txt2db collect/<colname>/index/text/<colname>.gdb

Then run the server and reload the collection page, and the links to the src docs should be live again.

For windows:

setup.bat

db2txt collect\<colname>\index\text\<colname>.gdb | sed "s@srclink_file@srclinkFile@g" | txt2db collect\<colname>\index\text\<colname>.gdb

Emailed Eduardo and added instructions as patch to Wiki.
