[De]activate scripts not working

[jakirkham]

Appears the [de]activate scripts are not working on Linux or Windows. See this CircleCI log or this AppVeyor log for details. @msarahan, any idea what is going on here?

Seems like this issue should appear on Mac too.

Have added all of these to the broken label and removed the main. This should allow the packages to still be inspected. Though they won't be downloaded by default. It will also avoid having new broken packages get uploaded in their place (i.e. as could happen with removal).

Appears there are only symlinks in bin. Guessing we are missing some crucial install step.

I don't know what's going on here, but my best guess is something like:

1. conda-build creates the build environment and activates it. This makes the symlinks that you are finding.
2. During install (build.sh/bld.bat), something should remove or overwrite those with the actual files. Is this happening? Apologies if I am not seeing it, but I think it might be a more manual process than just the python setup.py install.
3. the always_include_files stuff looks OK to me, but that's another area to double-check.

That was what I was thinking. Thanks for confirming.

👍 I think this is absolutely right. Was checking for this in the conda repo's recipe, but am not seeing it there either. Though it looks like this is is a simple matter of copying them in from the shell directory.

3. the always_include_files stuff looks OK to me, but that's another area to double-check.

Ok, will double check this after addressing 2.

Maybe PR ( #3 ) will solve this issue.
