Great.

Thanks, Alexandre pointed me in the same direction, that's very useful
for development.

I'm currently struggling with the German version of Baldur's Gate 1. A
lot of identical files are named differently like

	
fa670e7810253e8dfba283f844d450b8c5f429e4  Music/Bd2/Bd2endb2.ACM
fa670e7810253e8dfba283f844d450b8c5f429e4  Music/Bf2/Bf2endd4.ACM

then there are many files which are different but share the same name

and of course there are also new ones. If I understand the current
work flow correctly, files with identical names should be renamed (for
ScummVM games there is also a "prefix" mechanism) and then installed
into the corresponding binary package with "install_as". That may be a
suitable approach for games which only provide few files but with a lot
of files this approach becomes quickly painful.

Perhaps I miss something. Is it already possible to assign md5 and sha
sums to binary packages like that:

Assumption: There is a directory baldurs_gate_1 which contains the
German version of Baldur's Gate 1:

baldurs-gate-1.yaml:

baldurs-gate1-de-data:
  install_to <path>
  install
  - file1
  - file2
  sha1sums:
  90deca7b26d7f477de5667236973fbcdd3f1e626 file1
  dc9b2590ae6a7576a4e12d9b8ab5ade231517e09 file2

baldurs-gate1-en-data:
  install_to <path>
  install
  - file1
  - file2
  sha1sums:
   e7bab3db4e542a32a601a164c666956441d10ef0 file1
   2f6378980d1af3e5a35f28d648a0fe7f6fca9ed9 file2

and g-d-p would try to detect whether the directory baldurs_gate_1
contains all necessary files for either the en or de version and then
builds the corresponding binary package?

Cheers,

Markus
