Hi Talat,

Thanks for your long and accurate post. We obviously can't support all
platforms and versions on our docs, but if you think that some
relevant stuff is missing do please send the details to list or better
yet a pull request to the CKAN repo and we'll be happy to add them.

Cheers,

Adrià
