[GeoNode-users] geonode importlayers error when metadata XML is present

[Daniel Victoria]

Hi Tom et al.,

I saw that you closed the issue. Great. Two questions though
1) Was the problem related to how the metadata was produced (incomplete)?
Or related to geonode not accepting incomplete data?

2) I'm a newbie when it comes to updating GeoNode. I have it installed from
the ppa repositories. How can I apply the patch you just comited? Should I
just convert the GeoNode install folder from my machine into a git
repository and pull from Github? Are there any tutorials on how to do that?

Thanks
Daniel
