[ckan-dev] ckanext-archiver

Sat May 3 08:00:58 UTC 2014

I see, but I don't get why it updates the CKAN resources. In
/ckanext-archiver/ckanext/archiver/task.py
<https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-archiver/blob/master/ckanext/archiver/tasks.py>
 there is _update_resources that calls resource_update through the CKAN api.
