Hi Juha,

Thanks for the announcement, great to see people publishing their own
addons, given that I (still) don't have the planned snippet sharing
site up. (It's coming, I swear :))

Couple of nitpicks/problems:

* You seem to have made a typo when uploading to PyPI -- "conrtib"
instead of "contrib" :)
* I can't seem to install it to check it out, for a few reasons:
  * The install instructions say to install "xfiles", but only
"fabric-conrtib.xfiles" seems to actually register a hit. (Probably
because you don't actually own the top level "xfiles" name on PyPI ;))
  * I can Distribute-easy_install or pip install
"fabric-conrtib.xfiles", but both tools complain that they can't find
a setup script. Sadly I don't have time to troubleshoot this right now
(plus my package-fu is rusty) but hopefully you can replicate and fix
this, or point out what I've got wrong.
* You might want to update your Sphinx docs so the link to BitBucket
goes straight to the project repo instead of the BB homepage. I had to
snoop around a bit to find the actual repository URL (thankfully you
did include it in your PyPI metadata so it shows up on the PyPI
listing). Not a problem per se, just a suggestion.

Regarding your question about naming conventions, you're probably
using the setuptools entry point / namespace stuff mentioned in
http://code.fabfile.org/issues/show/56 -- that's probably fine for
now. I haven't made any specific recommendations yet :)

Best,
Jeff
