This is the first post of a series dedicated to XiVO packaging and its associated tools. This is my first attempt at understanding the subject and my knowledge mostly comes from interviewing Nicolas Hicher and Sylvain Boily. If I misrepresented the reality, I would be happy to fix my mistakes.
The XiVO server is available in many flavors :
virtual machines ( Gallifrey install cd, Xen Image … ), deb packages repositories ( as explained in Install XiVO From Scratch or Install XiVO With a CD … ).
