3 years ago I plan to reorganize the PyPI packages even further for 2.0:
Design notes:
- People who just want reprozip shouldn't depend on reprounzip machinery (but code shouldn't be duplicated)
- reprozip should support multiple operating systems, so it should be possible to install reprozip but switching out the Linux ptracer component
- reprozip will contain significant OS-agnostic logic, to recognize distro packages and language packages
- It should be possible to add support for other package managers as additional PyPI packages, though I envision this will mostly be built into reprozip
Providing a library for reading and manipulating RPZ bundles would be a good idea. It would also remove the duplicated files.
Goes with #192
