[ckan-dev] how may I add a new harvesting source?

Hi Elena,

Don't worry about the "sources" command not showing the type, it's just a bug.

Creating a source via the CLI works for me, for example using:

paster harvester source test-csw-source http://url.for.the.csw csw -c
../ckan/development.ini

Note the order of the params (You can get help for the command running
"paster harvester -h -c ../ckan/development.ini")

harvester source {name} {url} {type} [{title}] [{active}]
[{owner_org}] [{frequency}] [{config}]
    - create new harvest source

Does this work for you?

The CLI is not very maintained, so there may be some bug somewhere.
