slack file upload depreciation March 11, 2025

Slack will be depreciating the file upload call

pubarchiver/scripts/helpers.sh

Line 93 in edb545c

run_slack file upload --channels $SLACK_CHANNEL --file $log \

used in https://github.com/rockymadden/slack-cli on March 11, 2025. The slack-cli project seems to be abandoned, so we should figure out another way to send content to Slack.

I've replaced the slack executable on the server with a version I created (see rockymadden/slack-cli#126).

I had to update the SLACK_CHANNEL environment variable that is set in the crontab file to use the Channel ID instead of the Channel Name, as the new files.completeUploadExternal endpoint only accepts Channel IDs.

Seems to be working. Want to put a link to https://github.com/caltechlibrary/slack-cli/tree/files.upload-deprecation in

pubarchiver/scripts/README.md

Line 8 in edb545c

The actual scripts are [`archive-in-portico`](archive-in-portico) and [`upload-to-pmc`](upload-to-pmc). They rely on environment variables to set certain values. These include the paths where Portico and PMC outputs are stored (set by variables `PORTICO_OUTPUT` and `PMC_OUTPUT`), the account names and passwords for FTP uploads to Portico and PMC, and a Slack API token and channel name.

(and maybe link to this from the main README, since I wouldn't have found it if I didn't search for slack)?
