[ckan-dev] Smoke test on Ubuntu 12.04

Thu Apr 26 20:20:03 UTC 2012

So I followed the instructions on [1] to install the CKAN package on
Ubuntu 12.04.

Here are my findings:
1. Postgres dependency must be increased to 9.1
2. Add explicit dependency on openjdk-6-jdk
3. Set JAVA_HOME path correctly in /etc/default/jetty prior to running
ckan-setup-solr
4. Fix import statement in ckan/model/package.py:
	File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/ckan/model/package.py", line 10, in
<module>
	from pylons import config, session, c, request
	ImportError: cannot import name c

The import error actually causes wsgi.py to crash so the web application
cannot actually be run by Apache. Consequently it returns a 500 error when
loading the page in the browser.

Should the correct import be `from pylons import tmpl_context as c`? There
are a handful of occurrences of this import statement.

Thanks,
Shaq
