== Components ==
There are several major Sugar Server Kit project components that will be mentioned on this page:
* [[Sugar_Server_Kit/sugar-server|sugar-server]] provides basic sugar specific services,
* [[Sugar_Server_Kit/sugar-server-templates|sugar-server-templates]] provides configuration templates that might be reused in downstream solution,
* [[Sugar_Server_Kit/Mace|mace]] process configuration sources, e.g., from sugar-server-templates,
The only relationship between them are:
* sugar-server-templates contain basic configuration for sugar-servers.
* sugar-server-templates makes sense only after processing its content by mace.
These are building blocks for the final solutions in downstream deployments.

Sugar Server Kit is designed to avoid patching its sources in downstream. Reusing upstream binary packages as-is from repositories on http://download.sugarlabs.org is how Sugar Server Kit is being designed. Downstream might create new packages, that don't have file collisions with upstream packages, to have tweaks for local environment. It is being accomplished by:

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