-The prototype for this is in the GEPS 026 branch.  It uses the setup.cfg and custom_setup.py files.  The src directory needs to be renamed to gramps in order for this to work. After a couple of tweaks to the setup.cfg file you can get this working in trunk.
+This now works in trunk.  Installation instructions can be found [http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=6093 here].
