I understand the rationale behind that decision of charmstore, which is OK I guess.
The charm I’ve made is really a dirty one. Its a “hooks only” bash version, which basically just install two packages with either yum or apt, depending on series/distro.
The purpose of this charm is to just install some specific packages needed at Scania which doesn’t fit well into the more general SLURM bundle we use. E.g. we don’t want to push these things upstream to OmniVector repos maintained by @jamesbeedy. We try to keep the nasty bits out from that…
However, we end up having to maintain multiple charms even locally where we would like to be able to push it at least to a private namespace…
