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.
