[ckan-dev] trouble using harvesting extension

Mon Jan 7 15:45:59 UTC 2013

Hi Gregory,

ckan/authz.py is definitely present in ckan 1.8 [1]. Either you are
using master or there was a problem when pulling the sources and some
files were missing.
Note that if you are installing CKAN from sources, when pulling the
sources from github you need to specify with branch do you want.

>From the docs [2]:

"
Install the CKAN source code into your virtualenv. To install the
latest development version of CKAN (the most recent commit on the
master branch of the CKAN git repository), run:

pip install -e 'git+https://github.com/okfn/ckan.git#egg=ckan'

Alternatively, to install a specific version such as CKAN 1.7.1 run:

pip install -e 'git+https://github.com/okfn/ckan.git@ckan-1.7.1#egg=ckan'
"

To check if you are using the 1.8 branch, you can run this command on
the source ckan directory:

git branch

If you are not on it, the following command will check it out:

git pull
git checkout release-v1.8

Regarding your other issues, please report any particular problems
that you found, but yes, you need to load the "cswserver" plugin to
activate the csw server interface (to be replaced by a pycsw based
one, check other messages on the list for this). For displaying the
extent map you need to activate the "dataset_extent_map" plugin. Check
the ckanext-spatial README for more details.

Hope this helps,

Adrià
