Hello, To support an in-house packaging format, we need to partition the root filesystem into a number of packages (called "internal packages" from here on to avoid confusion), where each internal package corresponds to a number of (e.g. IPK) packages.
The way this is currently done is by manually maintaining a database (implemented as a PACKAGE_CLASSES class) that maps files in the root filesystem back to packages, along with a list of what packages should go into each internal package. I suspect it is done this way so that post-processing steps on the root filesystem will be included in the internal packages. To me this feels pretty roundabout, and I suspect that there are much nicer solutions (suggestions welcome!). What I'm mostly curious about at the moment though is whether there's some nicer way to map files from the root filesystem back to packages, without having to maintain a separate database. Having the method be independent of the package format (e.g., IPK) would be a bonus, though I'm not sure if it's a strict requirement.
