We have some software for Linux, mainly Red Hat 7.3 or 9, distributed

number of custom "base" or "library" packages. These in turn rely on
"OS" packages, as well as some external freeware packages that are
somewhat non-standard and may or may not be installed already; we also
provide our own versions of these in case they are needed.
Have a look at either yum (http://linux.duke.edu/yum/) or apt-rpm. Yum
will allow things like yum install foo. [ ... ]
Seems to me that setting up tools like these will be far too complex.
Like I said, I am not the one that will install the packages, and I
won't be able to "prepare" the systems in any way before the actual
installation, with the possible exception of providing a 3rd party
installer via a *simple* install step (like one rpm command.)
