[archived] The Package

We can start with the familiar ‘’package ‘’and subpackage, built as usual from a component (or source package):

We’re not changing anything at this level (yet… non-rpm packages are a possible topic for the future!)

It is important to distinguish the build of a package from the compose of a module; the build here is the step which includes compilation and creation of a reusable bundle of the compiled output. We might be building specifically to compile for a module’s contents; but the build step is still a distinct step.
