[GeoNode-devel] Why "initial_data" has been removed?

[Alessio Fabiani]

Dear all,
I noticed that on a fresh geonode installation the old fixture
"initial_data" has been replaced by a new one "sample_admin".

sample_admin creates a superuser, which is good, but on the other side does
not populate GeoNode model with initial required data, like regions and
topiccategories.

Is there a reason for this choice?

I guess we should have back the initial_data, otherwise new installation of
master branch won't be able to consistently update Layers metadata.

We may envisage a merge of the initial fixtures, sample_admin and
initial_data.

Notice that right now if you try to import both of them the GeoNode fails
to start due to a missing profile for admin.

Opinions?

Best Regards,
Alessio Fabiani.
