Previously, a package type attribute was intended to distinguish between package data that came from government depts. and publishers location information (GEMINI). Now there is an intention use a common set of attributes to support data from either source.

Hence, there currently a v.3 of the government attributes, a document about extracting the attributes from Gemini document using XPath, and a comparison documents mapping between governemtn attributes and Gemini attributes.

That means there are potentially four different list of attributes. I'm not sure how to go about reviewing the lists and converging any differences.

But we do want to end up with a list of names, a description of their purpose, and then perhaps the XPath which would reveal the value from a Gemini doc?

implement paster subcommand to delete harvest jobs

When getting a search results page (e.g. ​http://ckan.net/package/search?q=development&open_only=1&downloadable_only=1) and then using the on-page links to page through results, the next link / numbered page links go to ​http://ckan.net/package/search?q=development&page=2 rather than ​http://ckan.net/package/search?q=development&open_only=1&downloadable_only=1&page=2 meaning that the filter flags set (Download Only; Open Only) are not respected on the second page of listings.

Whilst going through the API docs for the revision search API, it was noticed that the "Gdu" SoS doc doesn't match up. It returns revision IDs (perhaps this is useful to note in the spec?) so the format is probably not 'limitedstring'. Also, they appear to be ordered youngest first, not oldest as stated.

And in the revision model, it refers to 'simplestring' which it doesn't define - I guess the names should be 'limitedstring'?

Could this be checked out?

Write a worker that scans all packages in a ckan instance and uploads the data to storage.ckan.net or another suitable storage system.

• Naming scheme?
  • Bucket: {ckan-instance-id}-{package-name}? {ckan-instance-id}-{package-id}?
    • What happens if names change
  • File: filename? hash?
• Store hash back on ckan instance?

The caching worker will consumer update notifications and fetch packages.

Extra points for:

• Properly checking for source file modification (Last-modified, Etag)
• Using PIP VCS Backends for retrieval
• OFS/S3 Storage

Factor out current downloader into dedicated download subpackage, abstract interface and make it pluggable so we can have downloaders loaded as per type of resource to download.

• Also rename InstallCommand? -> DownloadCommand?

And we should support interactive retrieving of resources ...

Implementation Ideas

for resources in pkg.resources:
    # datapkg/hg 
    load_storage_handler(resource.format)

This will be useful as an example consumer of the new queue notifications (#325).

• A user can register any URL to be notified upon an event.
• Possible extensions: GET with ID only vs. POST with serialized object
• E-Mail notifications are also hooks, essentially.

We need to have a UI module that allows for the hook CRUD and some feedback (e.g. non 200 status codes)

• Number of package page visits on ckan (can we get this straight from google analytics)
• Number of times url or download url is used - now ticket:937 (Record download stats for resoures)

How do we do this?

• Google analytics will miss a lot of this usage (and how do we get that data out anyway)
• Could use javascript but again misses usage.
• One option is to redirect link but that is kind of nasty (but may be only option ...)

The infamous ​exim bug only needs one mail with prepared headers to travel through a exim system infect it. All local processes could do that, and some services (e.g. cron, webapps) send messages and might be convinced by malicious remote users to produce evil headers.

We should either rule out that this could happen on our systems, or upgrade all exims regardless of whether they are localhost-only or not.

BTW did we already run a rootkit checker like ​Rootkit hunter on eu1? If not we should maybe do it now - there was already an exploit out in the wild. ByteMark? has (a) already observed infections and (b) notified us because they remotely fingerprinted our mailer to be exim<4.70 (our EHLO banner contains the exim version), just as anyone could.

With up to date statistics such as:

• total packages
• total tags
• total users
• most active users
• last update
• etc.

Could also be nice to have a more dedicated stats page - with information such as graphs showing rate of packages being added and such like. See ticket:184

Convert stats section to a ckan plugin.

Stats need not be in core and making it a plugin would make it easier to extend and expand.

There seem to be a few conditions under which either queue processing or the indexer fail in their current state. To get a more systematic picture of these failures, we should have a small testing tool to compare the index to the database of a live CKAN instance.

This is a meta-ticket to pull together all the work on SOLR as a backend for CKAN search. (Work on SOLR search has been going on since March of 2010).

3 key aspects of this:

• Index package information in SOLR - ticket:353 - SOLR search indexing (index CKAN)
  • Synchronously (generify Search Index update method to support SOLR or postgres?) - #317: Make search pluggable
  • Asynchroously: via worker with queue
    • #324 Search indexing using notifications
    • #669: Refactor Solr (indexer) to become a generic worker
    • #874: Extract Solr search backend into an extension
• In core support using SOLR backend as well as postgres for queries
  • #317: Make search pluggable (?)
• Integrate into WUI (if changes needed)
  • #672 - Facets in CKAN search results

Extras:

• Solr index testing tool #431

• Provide and include a "language.js" file.

Several questions to answer (and see file in email). To respond to the Finnish team and copy all Q&A to the ckan-discuss list.

1 ) I have played with two different datasets to get the metadata from those imported to CKAN. The other dataset is in PCAXIS format and other one is in Excel format. Please find the scripts + sample files attached in a zip file that contains instructions too to run the scripts. I looked at import scripts written in object oriented manner and getdata samples in CKAN but it was easier for me too write these from scratch (copied the unicrap function from CKAN samples). If I run the PCAXIS import script I get Unicode decode error (see errors file). When I use the unicrap function then the error does not appear in logs. I assume this is some Python environment setting issue. Of course I would like to run the script without unicrap function to get scandic letter imported correctly to ckan(and displayed in WUI). In Excel case there is no scandic letter issue which is kind of strange but this probably relates how the Excel library handles encoding.

To be honest the whole unicode/encoding/decoding issue has been quite difficult to deal with and debug. I hope I would get proper environment configuration to handle scandic letters.

2 ) It seem in CKAN by default the localisation file contains 462 strings. The transifex link Rufus sent contains 400 strings. Is transifex the one we should use as localisation file ? Where are the rest 62 strings then fetched from or are they needed at all. I have found that as I have been using the .po file coming in CKAN source (which has API translations too) this also causes similar unicode problems when an error in API occurs (the API error messages containing scandic letters provide the similar UnicodeDecoding? errors as mentioned above). So, it seems the unicode issues appear in various cases. Maybe a proper environment settings will be able to prevent also these problems... If transifex is the one to use I can prepare it and maybe then you could upload it to fi.ckan.net as there will be also other people checking the translations. To run the test and see the API translation errors especially in pcaxis case I would recommend to install attached FI translations to your environment and include lang = fi configuration. It looks like the API errors does not come when running default lang = en.

3 ) Is it possible to change the license selection/options available in license field drop-down ? Where are these located and can these be modified locally ?

4) It looks like the values stored in package extra fields are not searchable. Is this intentional ? It looks more or less that all other fields can be searched using free-text search in CKAN.

5) How package dependencies are defined and managed ? For instance we want to import some packages in a manner that the other package is a child package of another. Does API support this and/or is this possible to do in WUI ?

Best Regards, Henri

There are still some intermittent errors due to objects not having a revision_id, if you save an object at the same time as the revision. We add the uuid earlier to fix this. ​https://bitbucket.org/kindly/vdm/changeset/0050d023ca4e.

On ckan.net 1.3.1b, click on "Search" in the Navigator. Now both "Search" and "New Package" are highlighted.

Requires 0.4. 0.5 is a maintenance branch, 0.6 is current.

VDM appears to work correctly (all the tests pass) with 0.5. CKAN does not -- requires more investigation to determine exactly why.

It would actually be nice to be able to run with 0.6 or 0.5, though 0.6 will require some changes to VDM as well

e.g. ONS importer

This ticket refers to the form shown in Drupal. This doesn't have a preview function, but we don't have a requirement for it right now, so leaving ticket closed.

Run latest ckan on eu0. Automate some queries and searches. Check load and database connections / processes.

(Just like resource table, but extra fields don't need up/down buttons)

Nice to have: a blank field is added when you tab from the last filled-in field in the table.

• Ensure use case is in design - "an admin writes to the CKAN API" (and see JB notes on paper)
• Communicate how this is planned to be achieved in design to JF

Using use cases for security etc. Draw diagram to satisfy use cases. Communicate to Paul and therefore TSO.

Should return help for the harvester (currently crashes).

A link to the “register new package” page would be handy somewhere on the front page. As a frequent editor, I often go to ​http://ckan.net in order to create a new package. I don't want to hunt around for the link to the “new package” form.

The link could go into the bar next to “About / Statistics”. Or into the “More information” sidebar. Neither of these truly make sense, but it's a frequently accessed link and that's reason enough to put it somewhere onto the frontpage.

please ignore

We need a condition for 'disappears'. Asked AW about this (prob. in July) but should chase for an answer.
