How to use routeControllers in a package

Question

My app is made of packages. If I set up routes with iron router in one package, everything works as it should :

Router.route('/sessions', {
    name: 'ride_sessions.list',
    template: 'RideSessionList',
    action: function () {
         this.render();
    },
    data: function () {
        templateData = {
            rideSessions : RideSessions.find()
        }
        return templateData;
    }
});

But if I try to use a route Controller like this :

RideSessionsListController = RouteController.extend({
    template: 'RideSessionList',
    action: function () {
        this.render();
    },
    data: function () {
        templateData = {
            rideSessions: RideSessions.find()
        }
        return templateData;
    }
});

Router.route('/sessions', {
    name: 'ride_sessions.list',
    controller: 'RideSessionsListController'

});

I get this error :

Error: RouteController 'RideSessionsListController' is not defined.

Is it a bug ? Or am I doing something wrong ? If I'm not in a smart-package it works fine.

You need to export all your global variables in package.js file:

Package.onUse(function (api) {

  ...

  api.export(['RideSessionsListController', ...]);
});
