== Summary ==
GNU/Linux distributions integration is not intended to follow all requirements for native packages and in most cases cannot be reused for distribution official repositories i.e. Zero Sugar is '''NOT''' a meta-packaging tool.
There are only three major ideas behind distribution support:
* make packages, built on OBS, reusable for 0install deployment model;
* as a side effect, run Zero package in particular GNU/Linux distribution using native packaging system without interfering with official packages;
* support OBS based Sugar distributions.
Zero Sugar is designed to support primarily [http://build.opensuse.org/ OBS] workflow. Each OBS package is generated by {{Code|0sugar}} tool and might be built on bunch of rpm/deb based distributions within OBS. It is possible to follow regular OBS procedures for Zero packages e.g. creating links and branching them.
<!--
=== RPM support ===
Each Zero package has ''rpm.spec'' file to support building package on all RPM based distributions that OBS supports. File contains only one line {{Code|%zsugar_spec}} to invoke {{Code|zsugar_spec}} macros which generates spec file content on demand according to current ''0sugar.info'' and ''revision'' files content.
