Is there a way to have a single resource file shared between multiple distributions without having to create a resource (with specific name) for each of the distributions? [10:08 AM] we have a structure where we are using share code and have a top level BUILD which pulls in the specific needs for the wheel file. It looks like thus:

BUILD
    /model_files
    /server1
    /server2

Where the server1 and server2 packages are only

src

targets and

model_files

contains the singular resource we want to share.

@happy-kitchen-89482 do you happen to know the answer to this?

We purposely don't support this (at least when generating setup.py for you). Sharing source/resource files across multiple distributions can cause all sorts of problems unless you are absolutely certain that server1 and server2 will never be installed in the same virtualenv.

yeah, I ended up creating different resource targets for each of the services consuming it.
