I've got a large Visual Studio Solution which contains lots of Projects.  Each project is a standalone D/OpenGL tutorial.  I want to make it OS and IDE agnostic so it can be easily played with on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS so I thought it best to make it a dub package.

I've been reading the DUB documentation but can't seem to find a way. So in short, does DUB allow something like sub-packages?  Or collections of packages?

No is fine.  I just wanted to check before I go off and create a flat file system of dub packages.

I think you are looking for this:

Yes.

Advice: put the shared code in one package (eventually with sub-packages but this is a bit harder at the start) and put your project each in one directory with their own dub.json/dub.sdl

Then you can use "path-based" dependencies to the shared code.

You can check the organization of dplug or GFM, with the examples/ directory.
You can use sub-packages / configurations for each project but I find it less clear.
