Hooks script are not installed
Hi,
why are the hook scripts like "mailer.py" not installed when you run
"make install"?
Kind regards, Michael

-1.
A lot of scripts rely on the bindings. Installing these scripts and not
having the bindings == bug reports. Let the packagers handle this. And
our pre-beta users can handpick. Micheal is the first to complain about it,
I would expect more complainers if it were really an issue.
Furthermore, not all people want all the tools.

Is this mail on the dev list? Cc'ing the list. What do others think?

But that means they are not part of any binary distribution. Shouldn't a
binary distribution be "complete"? Why should you hide some
functionality from the public?

Because you don't need them to run a repository. Also, mailer.py
only makes sense when you build and install the bindings.
