[lsst-dm-stack-users] A test development version of Winter'14 stack

Hi Mario,

It looks interesting; I will try it on my Mac.  I'm curious though:

What does this actually do?  Will people have a "conda" based system installed or are you stripping continium's packaging system and installing the binaries and libraries which will then be managed via eups?

Also, could I request we get ds9 as an external package we install this way?

Thanks,
