[ckan-dev] linking data in private S3 buckets

[Anton Lundin]

Hello.

This choice is a showstopper for upgrading to 2.2 for us.

In our usage of Ckan, we make extensive use of S3 to store files and
have S3 do all the heavy lifting for us and that makes the database the
only state we need to keep on the machine.


I haven't had the time to dig in deeper into the new implementation, but
we would require to extend that to store the files in S3 before we can
upgrade.

I've seen the ckanext-s3archive extention, but that only moves the files
to S3, after they bin uploaded to local disk.
