Way back in the late 1980's I worked with a bunch of very smart people doing Unix based office automation software (OFFICEPOWER forever!) at a company called CCI. These people had a wonderful nightly rebuild system that broke the builds up into small bits and would notify different people via email if a given bit failed to build. It was simple to set up, easy to configure and just worked.

Over the years I have taken those CCI ideas with me from company to company, rewriting the code at various times in the Bourne shell, C and Perl. What you have here with BusyB is the latest version, written in Python. I hope you find it as useful as I have.
