Integration hell is a prime example of software evolution gone out of control. The Sisyphus continuous integration system is designed to prevent this situation in the context of component-based software configuration management. We show how incremental and backtracking techniques are applied to strike a balance between maximal feedback and being up-to-the-minute, and how these techniques enable automation of release and delivery.
