Deploying local code

[Tim Penhey]

Hi Alexander,

Great to hear fellow kiwis interested.

The dealing with artifacts is exactly the problem that resources were 
designed to fix. A charm defines the resources it needs and as the charm 
is deployed, it also has the resources fetched.

Personally I've not used any charms yet that use or defines resources, 
but I'm sure there are some eco team folks that could point you to some 
good examples.

Cheers,
Tim
