[Gary Poster <gary.poster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Brad.  Have a safe and fun trip.

Graham, this would be useful and good to take (it is th card entitled 
"Convert our symlinks to packages that we grab during install"). 
Alternatively, also a +1 to pairing with Francesco on his upgrade-charm 
hook, if that makes sense.

Thanks

Gary

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.

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).
