Status: RESOLVED FIXED

This is a zip file containing the initial landing of the basic scripts and supporting data for the Sisyphus framework. It also includes the public parts of the download checker.

It currently expects to live in a directory /work/mozilla/mozilla.com/test.mozilla.com/www/ and expects a virtual web server with host name test.mozilla.com with DocumentRoot there.

Much more work is required to generalize it beyond the use I have been making of it, and much documentation needs to be written but it is time to get the basics into the tree so that some of the installation, profile management and talkback management can be reused.

Rob, if this is alright with you, we can land this today and you can start reusing, modifying the talkback code while we consider the next steps in making this more general in its setup.

there were a couple of backup files in the bin directory (*.old, *.pl2) but otherwise, this looks good to checkin based on my cursory walk through  588KB of files.

Bob, do you have even a few words you can put in a README.txt about this, what it is supposed to do, and how it is intended to be used, and what issues with using it might be? Really, anything would be helpful. Thanx.
