I see now, thanks for clarifying. The next thought I had was to customize this tarball with additional packages (which live in private repos, no ssh keys on production server si git won't help) and include those in* /etc/julia/juliarc.jl* . Then repack the custom version and upload to GCloud. Does that sound like a reasonable workflow? What would be a good place for custom Julia packages within the tarball's directory structure?
