@Yethal perhaps you could write more about the issue, as you're the inventor

[Yethal]

In our current schema a nupac package may only consist of a single file, which is fine for the packages we have now since they're pretty simple but will be unsuitable for more complex packages containing multiple files which is why our current metadata schema needs to change.
Instead of storing file name, url and checksum as fields on root of the metadata object we should add a files field which contains a list of files (name + url + checksum) to be downloaded during package installation.

[Yethal]

This is what I currently have in mind (most fields omitted for brevity). Each file that is part of the package (other than the metadata file itself) is part of the files list. Each file has three attributes: url to the file, name the file should be saved as and the sha256 checksum. File name is kept in a separate field instead of being derived from the url to not force package maintainers to rename files stored in external repositories/cdns specially for us. It is a common practice for e.g apps distributed via releases page on GitHub to contain not only package name but also operating system, architecture, version number etc all embedded within the file name.
