Need Some Guidance



I am porting a package whose distribution file contains several tarballs within the single distribution file Each tarball can be thought of as a separate component, one for documentation, one for system framework and api source, one for sample application. What's the best way to fit the package into pkgsrc. My current attempt is to:

1) create a package to install the distribution file "dist" to "/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/dist" and unpack the distribution file into each of the separate tarballs, i.e. /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/tarball1, tarball2, tarball3, etc... 2) create one package for each of the separate tarballs that will install each piece, user can pick and choose which piece is desired.

Should I use a different approach to packaging this software?

...on sourceforge.net in pkgsrc-wip...
/wip/xspd <--- the distribution package
/wip/xspsys  <--- the package for the main system tarball

Thanks,
Kenneth
