Comment #1 on issue 725 by gerard.lledo: One install packet, with all dependencies inside
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=725

I think it's a better idea to have a repository only with the necessary .deb files (robot and ride, 32 and 64 bits). Of course, that deb metadata will contain the dependency requirements (python, for instance), but those can be pulled from the distro as necessary and don't need to be redistributed. Having it this way automatically solves Issue 726, and with only one extra configuration line in the users /etc/apt/sources.list

Ideally, after some time, these packages will be part of the official distro repos and the user will be done by simply "apt-get install robot-ide"

Same story applies for rpm distros with different packaging model.
