Motutools status update

[Lucas Nussbaum]

What is motutools ?
===================
motutools is a package providing lots of small scripts useful to MOTUs
and other people interested in improving the universe's quality.
Currently, it particularly targets scripts dealing with lists of
packages (all software written in ruby, all science-related software),
allowing the user to get a global view of the packages it cares about.
But the scope of motutools might be larger in the future.

The motutools package provides /usr/bin/mts (mts as in MotuToolS).
This executable is a wrapper for a lot of other small scripts which
reside in /usr/share/motutools. Those scripts can be run directly, but
it is easier to run them through mts. 

More info is available on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTUTools

motutools and motu-tools (with a dash): what's the difference ?
===============================================================
motu-tools is a set of scripts written by Reinhard Tartler,
Stephan Hermann and others. Those scripts (lpbugs.py, lpmerge.py) aims
at easing the merge process. At some point, they might (or not) be
merged into motutools. This hasn't been discussed yet. 

Current status
==============
* waiting for friendly reviewers on REVU ;)
* can already do interesting stuff[0], but need comments and ideas
for other scripts.

example on the wiki page)

How can you help ?
==================
* review motutools on REVU
* bzr branch http://ox.blop.info/bazaar/motutools/ ,
include your own personal scripts, and improve existing ones

Thank you!
