Guys,

I didn't make it as far today on charm-tools as I would've liked.  I got the helpers module added to the branch and a setup.py file working but couldn't make much more progress with the packaging.  Unlike the previous packaging (from scratch) this one is an incremental from an existing packaging and requires patches, etc.  I simply ran out of time before I could figure it out.

My branch is at lp:~bac/charm-tools/add-charm-helpers

I also spent some time working with pkgme.  It may be good (once you get it to run properly <What?  This is a packaging helper written by packaging experts and it has to be tweaked *a lot* before it'll run.>) but it is for initial packaging for a project that has never been packaged before.  As such, it would've been good yesterday (python-shell-toolbox) but of no use today (charm-tools).

I did finish my wiki page, which may prove useful to us in the future.  It is mighty long for something attempting to be straightforward.

Feel free to send me email tomorrow if you have questions.  I should have some time for reading email in the lounge in Detroit.  After that, not so much.
