Couldn't Greg create an EPrints XML file (by scripting in his
favourite language) and use the EPrints import plugin (XML) to
achieve the same result? Of course the files should be placed in
the appropriate directory, pointed by the XML file. I'm asking
that because that's what I'm planning to do when migrating 10K+
records along with their files from my old DSpace repository,
using a python script. If not, I'll be the next with the same
problem, and don't take it as a motive to answer "NO" :):):).<br>

I generally script this kind of thing using the EPrints API, but
id does have to be run on the command line of the server. I've
done this quite a few times -- here's an example of one I did a
couple of years ago:

<div>If you code, or have access to someone who codes, it's
