# OpenTelemetry Packaging
The Packaging SIG delivers a streamlined, product-like experience for monitoring applications on virtual Linux hosts.
It combines the [OpenTelemetry Injector](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-instrumentation/tree/main/internal/pkg/inject), [OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI)](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-instrumentation), and the [OpenTelemetry Collector](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector) into modular system packages, enabling users to achieve observability through a single command:
```sh
{apt|yum} install opentelemetry
```
## Current Scope
Scope as defined by the approved [System Packages](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/projects/packaging.md) project.
### Infrastructure & Packaging
- Establish APT and RPM repository infrastructure for OpenTelemetry packages
- Publish modular system packages for the Injector, OBI, and language-specific auto-instrumentation (Java, .NET, Node.js, Python)
- Integrate existing OpenTelemetry Collector packages into repositories
- Define versioning policies aligned with Debian, Ubuntu, and Red Hat practices
### Design Principles
- Make declarative configuration a foundational element
- Enable vendor packages to provide alternatives to upstream offerings
- Ensure OBI and the Injector operate cohesively without double instrumentation
- Adhere to Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) and packaging best practices
### Out of Scope
- Operating systems beyond Debian and RHEL derivatives
- Profilers integration
- Container image building
