Existing package splits into dependent subpackages -- best packaging practice ?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi all,

I have long maintained rpy2 (and rpy before) which provides a bridge from
Python to R (which I tend to care more for), and am on friendly terms with
its author. You can see my repo at salsa [1], it is pretty vanilla.

The upcoming upstream release will split into three packages, all in the same
source repo [2]. I am a casual Python user, and not all into packaging there
(source or for Debian). But I can wondering that this arrangement must exist
elsewhere. Is there a good pattern I can borrow to build (and then install ?)
rpy2-interfaces to then build (and install ?) rpy2-objects to then build
rpy2?

Python users see these as independent as they are in three different PyPI
packages.

Is there a best or recommended way to approach this?  CCs welcome, I am not
subscribed to debian-python.

Cheers,  Dirk
