[ckan-dev] Call for testers: help us test the upcoming CKAN 2.7 and patch releases

[Adrià Mercader]

Hi Derek,

We definitely want to provide 16.04 packages, we just don't have the
capacity right now to build and test them before the 2.7 release. They will
hopefully be available at some point after the release (and 2.7 and other
versions could be packaged retroactively).

We know that CKAN runs smoothly on 16.04, it's just a matter of updating
the packaging scripts for Ubuntu 16.04 so if you or someone else has
interest on helping with this I'll be happy to provide guidance:

Cheers,

Adrià
