Sisyphus

Sisyphus is a open project targeting the development and maintenance of free and open-source software repository, suitable as a basis for distributions and solutions. Sisyphus is developed by the ALT Linux Team.

Sisyphus consists of

• software repository (Sisyphus repository), including infrastructure (git.alt, Incoming)
• packages building and testing tools (hasher, gear, sisyphus_check, qa_robot, repocop etc)
• repository integrity checking and management tools (apt)
• solution-creating tools (spt, mkimage, Alterator, Installer).

Sisyphus is available for x86 and x86-64 architectures, ports to ARM and PowerPC are underway.

More conservative repositories based on Sisyphus are stable branches created on a timely basis.
