[PDB Tech] peeringdb sync error

[Stefan Pratter]

We've pushed an experimental fix to 
https://github.com/peeringdb/django-peeringdb@0.2.2.2, which we believe 
should fix most if not all of the sync issues we have been seeing.

It also fixes the updated and created fields to be in sync with their 
actual values as they exist in peeringdb, as it related to the issue at 
hand.

Since this is experimental at this point we have not released it to pip 
yet, we plan to do so once there has been sufficient testing.

Until then if you want run sync with this fix you will have to pip 
install django-peeringdb manually from github:

pip uninstall django-peeringdb -y
pip install git+https://github.com/peeringdb/django-peeringdb@0.2.2.2

Since this fixes the updated \ created fields it is recommended you 
start from a fresh database, but in the tests we have done it didn't 
cause any immediate problems to just do an incremental sync on a 0.2.2 
database that has local times in those fields.

Finally i would like to note that this is not the proposed fix from #32 
(atomic sync), as that is requiring a complete refactor of the client 
and not ready for release.
