Comment(by hamish):

 Hi,

 for the archives, there were a couple of issues which needed to be dealt
 with to install ipython's custom profile correctly.

  * the ipython create profile command did not like being run with "sudo -u
 user", something inside it knew it was a lie and it didn't work. So we had
 to run it as root then migrate the files to /etc/skel/ and /home/user/ by
 hand.

  * in the chroot root's home dir was /roots/ not /root/

  * if ~/.config/ did not exist, it installed to ~/.ipython. If ~/.config/
 did exist it installed to ~/.config/ipython/


 Even if super useful, I would had preferred it if new optional software
 was not added after the feature freeze and instead kept for next time,
 especially because our disc space is so tight (50mb may make a really big
 difference at this point as to if we can have persistent 4GB usb sticks or
 not). It could be a choice between ipython and samba on the disc now, and
 I don't know the answer to that situation.


 cheers,
 Hamish
