So is the convert-to-package.sh script something that should be run whenever the package is being built or should the results of this conversion be something that we commit to the SVN repository permanently. IOW, should the gmetad-python sub-directory be laid out differently in order to support the python package build. If so then just let me know how this directory should be laid out and we can make the changes in the SVN repository. Then I am assuming that we just need to add the setup.py.in file and apply the configure.in patch. Is this correct?
