Hey Ben,

thanks for the offer. I have by now implemented at least some parts of the mar
based updater for Linux daily builds. We have some unique challenges that are
different to Mozilla that we need to solve (e.g. we distribute MSI on windows
and will need to generate MSP that we wrap in the MAR files).

Funsize looks like something I need to evaluate. We are still hoping to be able
get basic automatic updates based on the Mozilla updater code working in 6.0
