I don't think I've made myself clear with the paragraph above. Here's try number two: Uploading another catalog is the safest way to do it. The integration script is dumb and it's very easy to shoot yourself in the foot while using it. The generated shell script is calling low-level catalog operations and it performs no checks. csw-upload-pkg on the other hand, does perform checks and makes it much less likely to introduce a problem into a catalog. By "it could fail" I mean that it is not impossible that a csw-upload-pkg operation has undesired results, but it's much less likely to happen, compared to using the integration script. Maciej
