n.b. (exercise left to the reader) I missed linking in updatemanager
itself. Oops :(
A problem with this patch-- and with this scheme as a whole-- is
that the gui modules don't lay out in the source base in the right
way to support the 'make link' style of operation--
/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg --> $workspace/src/modules
But then there's no way to create a link from:
/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/gui -> $workspace/src/gui
without creating a link inside of $workspace. And then Mercurial
doesn't like that.
So, I guess this may need further thinking.
