As we replace our embedded Sparcs running Solaris with some version of Linux, the question has been asked: What should replace our package management? I know next to nothing about rpm and apt. We release new software once a year or so. Any recommendations?
Depends on what version of Linux you intend to support. RPM is the most
widely used packaging system. DEB, as used be Debian and derivates is
also very popular. I am not very familiar in building DEBs, but the
"Debian Binary Package Building HOWTO" at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO/ might be
a good starting point.
For building RPMs, see the (slightly outdated) "Maximum RPM" book (also
available as a PDF on http://www.rpm.org) and the "Creating Quality
RPMs" courseware from Guru Labs:
