Kaltura CE Packager

To build a working Kaltura environment, clone the latest ce-packager and submodules from Kaltura's GitHub repositories, and follow the instructions in the README.

The packaging/package.php script uses the packaging/manifest.ini file to select which components are required for installation and then packages those into a php based installer from the git submodules included in this repository.

The installer package, once created, is used to install and configure a Kaltura server.
