Ken,

I think we’re generally in favor of including the new driver, but before I say so officially can you fill us in on the state of the additional external libraries it needs? I see pyngus on pypi, and you mention in the “Request to include AMQP 1.0 support in Juno-3” thread that proton is being packaged in EPEL and work is ongoing for Debian. Is that done (it has only been a few days, I know)?

I would like to avoid having that packaging work be a blocker, so if we do include the driver, what do you think is the best way to convey the instructions for installing those packages? I know you’ve done some work recently on documenting the experimental status, did that include installation tips?

Thanks,
Doug
