juju quickstart does not deploy local: charms

[Charles Butler]

When deploying a bundle that contains local: charms - juju quickstart deploys the charms from the charm store just fine, however it silently fails to deploy the local: charms.

It would be nice if quickstart supported the same deployment routines that juju-deployer supports, which includes local: prefixed charms.

Here is a snippet of the bundle we are attempting to use with quickstart.

kubernetes-local:
  services:
    kubernetes-master:
      charm: local:trusty/kubernetes-master
      annotations:
        "gui-x": "600"
        "gui-y": "0"
      expose: true

[Richard Harding (rharding)]

This isn't possible atm because quickstart relies on the gui to deploy the bundle. The deployer is bundled into the GUI charm and not quickstart itself. It would have to find some way to upload the local charms and then update the gui to support the local charms.

It's not that it's not something we'd like to see, but just that this is a major feature request not currently on the roadmap.
