obsolete_package: Obsolete a DataONE Package with a new version

In NCEAS/datamgmt: Data Management Utilities for Curating, Documenting, and Publishing Data

Obsolete a DataONE Package with a new version

Description

This function obsoletes a DataONE package with a newer version by merging the two version chains. The ideal use case for this function is when the only option to fix a broken package is by re-uploading a previous version and merging the two version chains. In other cases arcticdatautils::publish_update() should be used.

Usage

obsolete_package(mn, metadata_obsolete, metadata_new)

Arguments

mn	(MNode) The DataONE member node.
metadata_obsolete	(character) The metadata PID of the old, or broken, version. Any metadata PID from the obsolete version chain can be used - sets the PID to the end of the version chain.
metadata_new	(character) The metadata PID of the new version. Any metadata PID from the new version chain can be used - sets the PID to the beginning of the version chain.

Value

(logical) TRUE/FALSE
