If you try to GET a dataset, purge it then POST it again, it fails checking authz for the group:

                   location = None
                   if "id" in data_dict:

               logic_authorization = new_authz.is_authorized(action, context, data_dict)
               if not logic_authorization['success']:
                   msg = logic_authorization.get('msg','')

           else:
               raise ValueError(_('Authorization function not found: %s' % action))

               if not check2:
                   return {'success': False, 'msg': _('User %s not authorized to edit these groups') % str(user)}

Module ckan.logic.auth.create:90 in check_group_auth
<<      groups = set()
           for group_dict in group_dicts:
               id = group_dict.get('id')
               if not id:
                   continue
>>  id = group_dict.get('id')
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'get'

(using RESTful Model API)

The reason is the POST is expecting the group to be expressed as a dict, not the list of names that GET returns.

Using local image rather than the same image at assets.okfn.org reduces dependency on another server that may be down, slow or remote. James agrees.

paster db load ckan.pgdump will load in the database but not update the search index, no we're using SOLR.

implementation

We can't tack on 'rebuild' to this command, because it needs a 'db upgrade' first. I'm tempted to make 'db load' do the upgrade and rebuild all in one command.
