Fedora Updates System

[Luke Macken]

Hey guys,

I updated the UpdatesSystem[0] wiki last night with a bunch of tasks
that need to get done, and a couple of wishlist items.  For those
looking to help out, feel free to grab anything on there (even
if my name is on it), or add something you would like to see, and start
hacking.  Don't hesitate to speak up on IRC or onlist with any
question/comments/concerns.

Development has been going fairly smooth (except for a fun little
exception thrown after trying to bump SQLObject that I still need to
investigate).  Since the buildsystem stuff is currently in the air,
I setup the development environment to use a LocalTest Buildsystem (see
buildsys.py), which just points to a `pkg/ver/rel/arch` hierarchy for
pulling in built updates.

Once I polish up the push code, I'm going to write a bunch of test cases
and commit my test-build tree as well, with a couple of RPMS to be able
to run the tests and be able to push updates 'out of the box'.

I'm not really in a rush to get this running on publictest2 at the
moment, because you can get full functionality by checking out the
code locally and running `./start-updatesssystem`.  However, I will be
giving publictest2 some love in the near future, as I plan on reading
the 'Deployment' chapter in my TurboGears book very soon.
