A few weeks ago. I moved the real module to lp.app.widgets. I then discovered shipit was broken. I add a shim. The real history is in lp.app.widget. > (I hope to delete canonical.widgets) Update shipit to import the real widgets.

I too have asked this question. Many of the features that were in it were whittled away. Some parts just becoming unneeded, or parts were moved. I know webapp got some parts. I think the issue here is that canonical.lp does not need to move, it needs to be disassembled. > 4. How long do we need to keep the 'shipit' symlink for? How can we tell? Until ISD switched to django or they choose to fork Lp to freeze it. -- __Curtis C. Hovey_________ http://launchpad.net/
