Progress!

Now points to a build of remora from the git checkout.

Also, the git tree (/var/git/bundle-vault/) on that box is updated daily
(cron.daily).

Also also, the script /root/bundle-vault-setup.sh will

o Copy the latest git tree to somewhere in /opt/bundle-vault (based upon
the date and build #)

o Create a set of matching databasae, populated appropriately, and
configures the copy of the app to point to said database.

o Configures apache to point the DocumentRoot to the appropriate
directory.

o Restarts httpd

ie, everything needed to go from the git tree to a working app.

Next steps:

o Write a 'cleanup' script to clean up old builds.

o Figure out how to set up the 'services' stuff - right now I think just
the web UI is up

o Figure out how to set things up so we can access old builds (probably
something like bundle-vault-2007-05-29_8.olpc2.hosted.redhat.com with
vhosts).

o Get the whole build process going nightly.  Right now just the git
checkout is done nightly.

o Figure out how to run the included tests suite. (seems broken)


So, feel free to play with it, run the setup script, etc.
