Merging multiple package files into a merged package file is disclosed herein. In some examples, a processor device of a computing device retrieves a first package specification file corresponding to a first package file and a second package specification file corresponding to a second package file. The first package specification file and the second package specification file are next merged into a merged package specification file. Finally, a merged package file is generated based on the merged package specification file. The merged package file includes a first plurality of constituent files of the first package file and a second plurality of constituent files of the second package file, and in some examples may include a third plurality of constituent files of a dependency package file on which the first or the second package file depends. The merged package file thus enables more efficient and convenient software distribution and installation.
