Well, thinking a bit more... often "packages" will be on web sites.
And the user might well not care about let's say source code, even if builder
wish to include it in the package.
Why force the user to download source code inside the package if he/she does
not want it?
So I would propose that each package would be inside a directory.
The content of it should be:
name.key [builder key, the only file not signed (not crypted)]
name.hdr
Program name
Program version
Builder name
Build day
Build hour
Type of public builder source: none, GIT, included
optional GIT_URL
included_src_type: none, ZIP, etc.
Author
Type of public author source: none, GIT, etc
option GIT_URL
The following are optional files:
name.lvm (LLVM code)
name.32b (32 bit code)
name.16b (16 bit code)
name.src (it is up to the installer to change extension to archive type
using info in name.hdr file if needed to decompress)
That way, the presence of the file indicate the presence of the previous
optional section.
And it is now possible to download only what you care for.
