[ckan-dev] Default CKAN distribution

Sure, that's great. But a canned image is suitable for people who
don't even really know about unix and want to poke at it. Then they
can hire someone and say, "make me one like that for real".

] Hi Will,
] 
] We have a "ckan" debian package we can use for this. As a bit of 
] background I've just refactored the packaging a bit so that there is a 
] new ckan-common package which contains a single file which it installs 
] to /usr/lib/ckan/common.sh which contains helper functions that other 
] CKAN related packages can call. As an example the ckan-dgu package has a 
] postinst script which makes use of a lot of them.
] 
] https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckan-debs-public
] 
] Going forward I'd like to see the ckan package in the repo above install 
] a typical CKAN installation so we can re-work its postinst to the same 
] form as the new ckan-dgu package but to use the dependencies below 
] rather than the ones ckan-dgu uses.
] 
] At that point a typical ckan installation is as easy as apt-get install 
] so there would be little benefit in a canned image, although we could 
] easily do that too. I'm happy to take on the creation of the ckan 
] package myself when I'm back if it can wait until then? CKAN 1.4 will 
] also be out by then so it makes sense to make a formal packaged release 
] anyway.
] 
] Cheers,
]
