[ckan-dev] Q&A for datacats installs?

Mon Jan 11 14:01:42 UTC 2016

Hi Ian

Thanks for the info.  I see you refer to the datacats git site for issues; but I also see some issues that are outstanding.

The specific issue I am interested in is the inclusion of CSW/pycsw into the datacats environment because that will be our primary source type for geospatial metadata.  I see there is one issue logged and one outstanding pull request (https://github.com/datacats/datacats/issues/301 and https://github.com/datacats/datacats/pull/303 ). Rather than reinvent any wheels; is there likely to be any movement on this in the near future (otherwise the only alternative seems to be to go back to a fully manual CKAN install process without all the benefits that Docker offers)?

Hi Derek,

We don't have a mailing list, but feel free to use the issues on
github for problems you run into.

Installing most extensions in datacats just requires dropping the
extension in your source directory and running "datacats install".
Anything else you might need to do to get set up can usually be done
with the "datacats paster" (run a paster command from the extension in
the current directory) or "datacats shell" (open a shell inside the
environment)
