[Daniel Mercer <dmercer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks -- I'll check this out in the morning!

I've got a patch for multi-distribution bootstrap and some of the other things we've discussed sitting in our local github waiting for outbound review. I'll integrate these changes and hopefully be able to issue a pull request for you to review by Thurs at the latest.

This might get more involved, alot of anvils need for sudo is all the pkg stuff it does, all the files it adjusts, all the 'python setup.py --develop' and so on, the initial bootstrap is just like phase 0 of these kinds of commands. I'm sure there are ways around it (ie the user entering the sudo user all the time) just thinking that they may have to enter the sudo user so much we might as well start them off in the sudo user (as it does right now, where it starts as sudo then drops back down to the user running and re-elevates priviligies as needed). Thoughts?
