Multiple packages

[Jan Ekholm <chakie@infa.abo.fi>]

Hi all,

This is my first post here, so I may be in the entirely wrong forum.

Anyway, I'm packaging a largish game we're making. It's a Python game
written using Pygame, and contains ~20MB of static data, such as graphics,
scenarios and audio. We'd like to package the thing into two or more
packages, so that we could easily change the code without forcing users to
download all the non-changed data. We'd also like to be able to add new
scenarios as packages. We could have:

	ourgame
	ourgame-data
	ourgame-scenariopack1
	ourgame-scenariopack2
	ourgame-scenariopackN

I know how to make single packages (at least they seem to work), but have
no idea where to start for a multipackage thing. What documentation could
I read in order to understand the procedure, or what simple existing
package could I have a look at?

Note that I'm not trying to get a sponsor/mentor/advocate or anything like
that, just packaging advice/RTFM-links.

Regards,
    Chakie
