I'm currently involved in a Debian-distro based project which aims to create an Internet caching product for schools which would hopefully take the form of a Debian install CD which would install relevant packages from CD and then update when required from the Internet via existing servers where possible and our own servers for deb packages which we need to create ourselves (This is a very basic description!).
We're currently debating which will be easier in relation to creating and maintaing the packages we'll need. From those in the know, are we better doing either of the following:
1) We alter existing deb's and from that point forth need to check the debian package list for updates, get them and their dependencies, alter them and host them
2) We use stable source code, create our own deb's, host them, check the web sites for the relevant package for updates important enough to make use create a new deb package and host that
How will we be affected by dependencies on other apps with either of the above? We currently have a blank canvas to work from which is based around the bf24 kernel install of Debian with only the C++ Development option installed.
ANY comments on this would be very gratefully accepted!
Regards,
nry
