Welcome to SEPP
SEPP is a Software Deployment System which was developed by Tobias Oetiker.
On this site we publish the OETIKER+PARTNER fork of SEPP (also called OP-SEPP).
Initially SEPP was developed and used at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and since Tobi is working for OETIKER+PARTNER AG also used in our own and many customer installations of OETIKER+PARTNER.
Learning SEPP
If you want know more about SEPP, make sure to read the SEPP Documentation (outdated but still true in concepts).
Or take a look at the SEPP paper presented at LISA'98 in Boston.
And just in case you wonder, SEPP is still alive! Check out the package list of OETIKER+PARTNER or the package list of ISG.EE at ETH Zürich.

- An installation of rsync
