Does anyone besides Bazaar use PQM?

Well Robert Collins was one of the main developers of PQM. And the one who
maintains our installation. Unfortunately he is on vacation for the rest of the
month.

If it is urgent I probably can help you out a bit. I've at least played with
the PQM sources, even if I haven't set up a PQM site myself.

I also believe that Aaron Bentley has set up PQM, and he is also active on this
list.

I'm not sure what Continuum is, though I found:
http://maven.apache.org/

(Which seemed to have Continuum as part of it?)

However it looked like it was for only Java code. Or at least, it expected it
to be Java. But I only looked at their "5 minute test".

And even with that I didn't see how it would merge changes, run the test suite,
and then commit if the tests passed. Though it did seem to handle the "run the
test suite" sort of steps.

But that (IMO) would just be the "make check" phase of what PQM does.
