Many (most ?) Kolibri channels are populated by ricecooker which creates everything needed locally and then uploads this to a Kolibri Studio Channel
The scraper then retrieves this Studio Channel and creates a ZIM.
While convenient when the Studio Channel is well maintained, it proves to be a burden when we struggle to get Studio Channel updated (like we face with openzim/zim-requests#729).
We might want to consider to:
- run
ricecooker
in "dry-run" mode, where files are created locally but not uploaded to a Studio Channel - directly process these files with the scraper to create a ZIM
This change might be quite straightforward since what we download from the Studio Channel is maybe very close to what we would get locally from rice-cooker. And we would continue to benefit from the rest of the scraper enhancements (ZIM UI, ...).
