Essentially, I'm trying package up all of the custom things we do to our linux machines here so we can version control the changes and be able to automatically update all the machines with the same configuration. What I'm doing now is creating a rpm called "our_org_changes". In it are sub-packages called "adjust_shared_memory_maximums", "create_automounts", "enable_ntp", etc. The sub packages are what create or modify configuration files and add services to the appropriate run levels. The main package doesn't really do much of anything. I guess it should depend on all the sub packages, right? Does my approach make any sense at all?
