Assumptions

• Only tested on POSIX boxes, sorry no Windows yet.

• Drupdates is built assuming you can store passwords for 3rd party systems in it's configuration files. Drupdates will need to store system user names and passwords in the $HOME/.drupdates directory. This will mean that directory will need to be locked down.

• By default, Make file used to build a site will be named the same as the site folder. This is configurable using the makeFileName setting.

• Git is being used to track changes to the Drupal code base
