Guideline Question

[Christopher Stone]

There is a package up for review, glob2, found here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225010

The packager is putting the data files into a sub packge because of
this guideline in the Fedora Games SIG page:
"Package game files and data files separately, if possible, to reduce size of
bugfix updates. This must be done if upstream packages game data in separate
tarballs, and should be done even if upstream uses one tarball for game source
and data. See Nazghul and tong for examples."

This does not make sense to me.  Shouldn't the data package be in an
entirely different spec file instead of just a subpackage of the main
spec file?  If you are going to make a bug fix to the app, and do a
rebuild, the data package is also going to be upgraded at the same
time because they are both in the same spec file and get the same
release number.

Please clarify.

Chris
