Hello John,

I’m aware that there is a way to prompt users to accept EULA on deploy time, 
but I’m worried about the fact the resources are downloadable from the charm 
home page.
I’m not sure this is fine as I think we redistribute the software this way and 
there are EULA’s that might not allow this.
Uploading a zero bytes resource and instructing the users in README how to pass 
the real resources, should do the work, but it’s just a workaround.
I would’ve liked to be able to release/publish a charm without specifying any 
resource and have them grayed out on the portal, the way they are right now 
before publishing.
This is an example of a charm that I want to publish and I don’t want any 
resources uploaded on the charm store:

Regards,
Ionut

Why can he not upload the resources? We have several mechanisms in place to 
allow for gating charms based on things like "accepting terms", and a general 
policy that "juju deploy SOFTWARE" should actually get you SOFTWARE running in 
a functional manner. Telling people "do this deploy, but then go get the real 
functional by visiting these websites" is not a good user experience, so we're 
unlikely to try and polish things like "don't allow people to see that there 
are 0 byte resources".

Hi all,

Ionut Balutoiu (in cc) would like to use the resources mechanism but he cannot 
upload the actual resources to accompany the charm. Instead he will prompt the 
users to attach their own binaries during deployment. To serve this use case 
Ionut can upload a dummy zero-sized binary to the store and use its size to 
detect if the user has provided his own binary. This works but has a side 
effect, the dummy binaries are available for downloading from the charm's page. 
Is there a way to hide the resources from the charm's readme page? is there a 
more elegant way to serve this use-case?

Thanks,
Konstantinos
