 Hi,

 the install_ipython.sh script pre-seeds a profile for ossim, but the funny
 thing insists on writing to $HOME but doesn't like being run as sudo -u.
 So the workaround for 6.5 was to run as root in the install script then
 move the files over to $USER_HOME. that isn't working anymore.

 {{{
 mkdir -p "$USER_HOME"/.config/
 ipython profile create osgeolive
 mv ~/.ipython "$USER_HOME"/.config/ipython
 }}}

 but it is causing an error: (chroot's "root" home dir is /roots/)

 {{{
 /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/utils/path.py:296: UserWarning:
 IPython parent '/roots' is not a writable location, using a temp

 }}}

 maybe "su -" as the $USER would work instead? someone with access to the
 chroot environ might have to play to see what works..


 thanks,
 Hamish
