Introduce

Of while for the project OpenSCADA was needed to create specialized builds of Linux environments kind of PLC firmwares, Live and installation disks for Automatic Work Places (AWP) and rapid familiarization of the OpenSCADA program. In begin it was enough to use standard Linux repositories, firstly it was ALTLinux and currently it is Debian. But in reason of needs to some packages of the Linux distributive fix, update and rebuild there was created self repository of this packages together with OpenSCADA packages.

1. ALTLinux

Actuality: 2008-2014, used into the automatic builder for some solutions compatibility
Repositories:
Distributives (solutions):

The ALTLinux distributive using by the author Roman Savochenko started from version 3 and for the Automatic Distributive it was from version 5.1. Into year 2014 for the Automatic Distributive and other was started moving to Debian package base mostly by reasons into appendix.

The Automatic Distributive as the packages repositories mostly end presents by PLC-firmwares and Live/Install/Service disks which build by the tool for creating the distributions mkimage of ALTLinux. mkimage is the tool for building Sisyphus-based system on basis of template. As an initial set of templates it was taken the set of templates of formation of ALTLinux distributions at "git://git.altlinux.org/people/boyarsh/packages/mkimage-profiles-desktop". The procedure of creating the firmware from the image is the following:
