APERTIS - A Collaborative Industrial Grade Linux Construction Kit
summary
APERTIS is a Debian derivative construction kit maintained by Collabora and Bosch that targets industrial embedded products with a package‑centric CI: GitLab, LAVA testing, QA reports and cloud SDKs. It hosts ~7,000 packages, supports arm32/arm64/x86, follows yearly kernel LTS migration and two‑year kernel support, and uses ostree/RAUC patterns for production updates. A Bosch power‑tools team of 10–20 ports a hardened automotive Linux to a wall scanner, uses VirtualBox dev images that mirror target behavior, and ships successfully in prototypes.
