[ckan-dev] Group Addition

Tue Dec 3 19:35:27 UTC 2013

Thanks a lot for that!

I see that I have to upgrade to 2.2 from 2.1.1b before using the  
script, but unfortunately "git fetch" doesn't find any  
"release-v2.2"....

Any ideas on that?

Again thx a million for the script!

Warmest regards,

G.
