Packaging of the system (RPM/Scripts) #182

Client would prefer having a system 'package' ie rpm for CentOS or dpk for Debian.

At the moment, we have bash scripts which need to be run which could be a trivial process for non-technical users.

We also discussed the requirement of having a VM template (ie virtualbox) with everything installed already. This would then require a special page on first run, to configure the system.

Documentation of creating a .DEB package: http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/How-to-make-deb-packages/

Note that the .DEB seems to be easier to package, while RPM seems much much more technical.
