UBOS Manifest

See also glossary entry UBOS Manifest.

Each App or Accessory on UBOS has a ubos-manifest.json file, which contains the meta-data that allows UBOS Gears to correctly deploy, undeploy, backup, restore, upgrade etc. the App or Accessory.

This manifest optionally also contains human-readable information about the Package that contains the App or Accessory and hence the UBOS Manifest file. The UBOS Manifest file augments the information in the PKGBUILD file used by the pacman package manager that UBOS invokes.

This section describes the UBOS manifest and how to use it.
