However I really don't like the idea of splitting out -data packages. This is basically what Debian does. I remember they would take a single package and split it to *-bin, *-libs, *-dev, *-src, *-otherstuff, etc. It's a nightmare. --Kaiting.
This actually makes much sense: Imagine a game with 2MB of architecture-dependent executables and 2GB of grafics/sounds. In the repo this will look like this: 2GB somegame-i686.pkg.tar.gz 2GB somegame-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz total: 4GB When you split out the data part, it looks like this: 2MB somegame-i686.pkg.tar.gz 2MB somegame-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 2GB somegame-data-any.pkg.tar.gz total: 2.004GB -- freenode/pyropeter "12:50 - Ich drücke Return."
