Hi guys,

I just wanted to poll you for some advice.  My notification tool I maintain
supports more than 50+ services now, but the only package isolation I do
within 2 RPMs.  One for the actual CLI (for admin's who want to use it) and
the other is for the backend library (for Devs). I only ask because each
supported service is very modular.

I kind of like the way nagios-plugins breaks apart it's check_scripts into
many sub-packages, but 50+ subpackages seems a bit extreme... or is it? It
certainly seems like a bit of a nightmare to maintain; it would be one very
large .spec file.

You can see the directory structure here on GitHub:
https://github.com/caronc/apprise

Effectively every single file in "apprise/plugins/Notify*.py" is it's own
plugin-able module.  You can add/remove content into here and the tool
adapts. Thus the sub-packages would only include 1 file per RPM.

Is it advisable to go this route? I presume there is no easy way to
transition without breaking users existing setup? I don't know what the d/l
stats are; so there may not be a large enough audience to even need to
worry about this?

What are your thoughts and/or advice?
