#435: Switching between ckan instances causes orphaned postgres processes

dread — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 16:08:56 GMT

Analysis using pg_top reveals orphaed processes:

https://trac.dataco.coi.gov.uk/projects/datagov/ticket/460#comment:6

This followed switching ckan instances on the dgu machine. Do these hang around forever clogging up a db server? Can switching between instances be smoothed to avoid this?

#480: Catalogue service shall conform to specification

johnbywater — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:30:12 GMT

Common requirements for running CKAN behind a (e.g Wordpress or Drupal) front-end:

Unrestricted total read-only access to catalogue API for general public (e.g. voluntary organisation).
- monitored by API key
- not monitored by API key
Restricted total read-write access to catalogue API for authorized clients (e.g. front-end system, bulk upload clients).
- restricted by CKAN access controller
- restricted by HTTP Auth
- restricted by IP address
Restricted total read-write access to catalogue Web UI for authorized users (e.g. site admins).
- restricted by CKAN access controller
- restricted by HTTP Auth
Restricted partial read-write access to catalogue Web UI for authorized users (e.g. group admins).
- restricted by CKAN access controller
- restricted by HTTP Auth

#560: Deleted packages showing up in tag lists

rgrp — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:20:01 GMT

E.g. http://ckan.net/tag/lod contains musicbrainz_ (Musicbrainz) item (if you click you will get 403/login as deleted packages can only be seen by admins).

Also suggested that these are showing up in the API (courtesy of Anja)

#662: Can't put entity that is returned by posting to package register

johnbywater — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 10:29:06 GMT

It's because Package carries several out-of-band values, which are snagged on the way back out. Entity get response also can't be posted.

However, post response can be re-posted (because it isn't the same as the register-post/entity-get responses.

An issue for CKAN too.

Sub-ticket of #961 (form, validation, model sync meta-ticket) and depends on that work.

#663: Duplicate sibling relationships displayed

dread — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 08:32:49 GMT

Looking at: http://ckan.net/package/rkb-explorer-acm

'rkb-explorer-resex' gets display multiple times and shouldn't

#664: Sibling relationships shown for deleted packages

#893: ExtrasField should not overwrite more specific extras

pudo — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 10:09:43 GMT

At the moment, ExtrasField? cannot be used in conjunction with more specific extra fields, such as TextExtraField? or SuggestTextExtraField?.

#965: make migration testing plugin to nose

kindly — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 01:04:52 GMT

In order to test migrations properly, we need to test the upgraded database against *all* the tests.

To do this a special flag to nosetests should be added. nosetests --migrations

This flag will make sure that the database is recreated from scratch each time using the migrate repository, bypassing init_db.

#996: Run some basic load testing.

kindly — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 10:26:34 GMT

This will involve running a sample of real requests synchronously against real data.

#1012: Add package revision history to api

kindly — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 10:02:31 GMT

Revision history information is not accessible, dgu want this.

#1038: Authz tool - operate on all packages at once

dread — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:13:08 GMT

Add 'package:all' to authz tool to allow mass changes of authz.

#1039: Default user roles read from config

dread — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:13:42 GMT

(instead of being hard coded)

#1040: File system mounted

dread — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:30:55 GMT

Public file path code adds a trailing , and thus adds / as a static file app in the Pylons middleware cascade.

#1076: Improve revision and package purge system

rgrp — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 17:24:02 GMT

Purging Revisions

Delete button displayed on:
- /revision/list
- ~~(/package/history)~~
  - /package/history is problematic because html does not allow nested forms and we already have form for doing diff/comparison.
- /revision/{id}
Delete button submits to delete action on revision and changes revision state to 'deleted'.
- undelete button now displayed and revisions are marked as deleted in some way (e.g. greyed out?)
Sysadmins then visit /ckan-admin/trash which lists all revisions with deleted state. There is a large button: "Empty trash" (irreversible). Click button purges all revisions with deleted state.

Purging Packages

Put into deleted state.
Listed on /ckan-admin/trash
Separate Empty trash button which deletes all associated revisions.
- Should be separate from Empty trash for revisions

Current system

Single purge link on revision listing if a sysadmin which permanently purges the revision and all associated changes (without confirmation atm!)

#1088: content-type autonegotiation is wonky

wwaites — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 17:44:21 GMT

in ckan/controllers/package.py around line 130 it does some strange things...

perhaps replace with https://github.com/wwaites/autoneg

and handle redirection of these content types:

application/rdf+xml
application/turtle
text/plain
text/x-graphviz
