* [[The Server/Mace|mace]] tool that processes the configuration from sugar-server-base packages is designed to have several configuration sources for the same service, so downstream configuration packages might change/hide/complement upstream configuration.

* [[The Server/Mace|mace]] does not create any final configuration level logic and might be used to process any downstream configuration for services that it supports.

Core packages are per-[[#Components|component]] and might be reused as-is in downstream, in a way that is most practical for them.

* [[The_Server/sugar-server-base|sugar-server-base]] provides configuration only for basic external services that need to be installed and configured on bare servers at school,

* [[The_Server/sugar-server-templates|sugar-server-templates]] provides configuration templates that might be reused in downstream solution,

* [[The_Server/Mace|mace]] process configuration sources, e.g., from sugar-server-base.

* [[The_Server/Mace|mace]] process configuration sources, e.g., from sugar-server-templates,

The only relationship between them are:

The only relationship between them are:

* sugar-server might be configured from sugar-server-base.

* sugar-server-templates contain basic configuration for sugar-servers.

* sugar-server-base makes sense only after processing its content by mace.

* sugar-server-templates makes sense only after processing its content by mace.

These are building blocks for the final solutions in downstream deployments. Components are optional, meaning that

* sugar-server might be used in the singular manner; it doesn't need any special (outside of sugar-server) configuration, and can be started even from its sources directory;

* sugar-server-base might be used in the singular manner (but obviously with the mace) to configure only non Sugar services;
