[ckan-dev] Adding a tag to a package

Thu Aug 13 13:29:26 UTC 2015

Thanks Dan!

I was trying exactly the strategy described in [1]. The problem was that I
didn't understand that I could pass the whole package, instead of the
separated meta-data, as pointed in the create_package docs.

Anyway, maybe in my case package_patch would really be the better option!

all the best,
alan
