General format options?

[epage]

Currently the format is HashMap<PathBuf, Vec<Source>>

• Hierarchy is clear
• More complexity to expand
• More complexity to merge multiple stages (a default and a user stage)

Other possible options:

• Vec<PathBuf, Source>
  • Easy to expand
  • Easy to merge
  • But what do we call the PathBuf field in the struct (since we can't actually use a tuple)? We we'd probably flatten the Source struct into this, meaning we can't conflict with any Source names
• Vec<PathBuf, Vec<Source>>
  • Worse of both worlds?

[epage]

Current format is a Map<Path, Vec<Source>

[[stage."/usr/bin"]]
type="SourceFile"
path="./targets/release/foo"

Possible formats

Vec<{destinaton: Path, nested: Source}>

[[stage]]
destination="/usr/bin"
type="SourceFile"
path="./targets/release/foo"

Nested / Recursive which works better in yaml/json than toml

stage:
  - name: usr
    type: Directory
    content:
      - name: bin
        type: Directory
        content:
        - type: SourceFile
          path: "./targets/release/foo"
