Yes i know, but i am packaging them, and from the packager pov it's more
simple and i think the best way to to do as it is done right now.
There is no big files but a lot of files more or less large. Im not
dropping hudson as is but configuring things inside the exploded war
when you have asked the paster questions and making wrappers, init
scripts, logrotates & co around, it's a real integration.
I can upload them elsewhere of course but if it can be hosted on pypi i
would have prefered.
