I have a distribution that includes several .exes. Currently, they're
built as onefiles (with separate .spec files), and live in a common
subfolder of the deployed distro. What I'd like to do, to reduce the
amount of extra space and the startup time, is to have the subfolder
contain the exes, minus the dependencies, plus a single copy of each of
the dependencies, so each exe can find what it needs on startup.
It looks to me like the multipackage function could help here, but I
found the description in the doc and the examples in the buildtests
insufficient to figure out how to do what I want. In particular, will I
need to go to a common .spec file for all exes, or one .spec for each?
I think I could get started if someone could come up with a simple
example of, say, two exes (each built from one .py) that would live in a
common directory, with the "union" of the files that normally go in a
onedir build in the same directory. (Note: there's no dependencies
between the two.)
TIA,
