I used this php script for the redirects when we migrated all items from an EPrints instance into a DSpace instance: https://gist.github.com/3541306 The script wraps a lookup mechanism that maps EPrints item IDs to DSpace item IDs. It redirects item links as well as links on a bitstream level, plus those for newsfeeds. What I have is incomplete because the lookup mechanism wasn't done by me; I'm not sure how the people who are actually running this do the lookup mechanism, but I suspect it's similar to the sqlite database mentioned in the comments. I'm not claiming that this is particularly elegant, but it works. At least for a reasonably small EPrints instance (~1000 items) with relatively low traffic. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand
