Going in that direction, it will be hard not to get, as you asked before, into the SUN/pkg vs. dpkg (or rpm or ...) discussion.
Just to give you an idea of what we wanted (I repeat, I failed this task): - seperate the blast from the system's goal - permits independant installation and run of concurrent set of packages - easy roll-up / roll-back of two concurrent running sets of packaging More details: - We looked at SUN pkg and prefered dpkg. - Then blasting production a system was made by usual scripts and SUN pkg, including a home made SUN pkg of dpkg. - And the rest (our home made products + GNU tools dependencies) were managed by dpkg Cheers, Loïc.
