It is part of the IPS software originally created for [[Wikipedia:OpenSolaris|OpenSolaris]] and now used in Oracle Solaris 11, OpenIndiana, OmniOS and other descendants of OpenSolaris.<br /> <br /> The process of building an IPS package starts with a simplified manifest file, to which tools are applied to fill in default values ([https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36870/pkgmogrify-1.html pkgmogrify]), add automatically determined dependencies ([https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36870/pkgdepend-1.html pkgdepend]), and then add the hashes of the files in the package ([https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36870/pkgsend-1.html pkgsend]). The initial simplified manifest can be created manually, or generated by pkgsend from a SVR4 format package, a tarball, or a prototype directory hierarchy.<br /> <br /> Manifest files are published as part of the package to either a online package repository or an [[IPS archive]] (.p5p) file.<br /> <br /> == Format ==<br /> Files are in a plain text format, with one line for each ''action'' in a file, representing a file to install, a directory to create, users or groups to add to the system, dependencies on other packages to verify, or metadata to store with the package. The first entry in a line is the type of action, the rest of the line is a series of ''key=value'' pairs for that action.<br /> <br /> == Specifications ==<br /> * [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36883/pkg-5.html#scrolltoc Oracle Solaris 11.2 man pages: pkg(5)]<br /> * [https://java.net/projects/ips/sources/pkg-gate/content/doc/signed_manifests.txt pkg(5): image packaging system: Manifest signing]<br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> * [https://java.net/projects/ips/pages/Home pkg(5): image packaging system]<br /> <br /> == Sample files ==<br /> Source manifests (before processing):<br /> * https://hg.java.net/hg/solaris~on-src/file/b23a4dab3d50/usr/src/pkg/manifests/<br /> <br /> Complete manifests (after processing):<br /> * http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/en/catalog.shtml?version=entire%400.5.11%2C5.11-0.175.2.1.0.2.1&amp;action=Browse - click on ''Manifest'' links<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Image Packaging System]]<br /> * [https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36856/index.html ''Packaging and Delivering Software With the Image Packaging System in Oracle® Solaris 11.2'']<br /> <br /> [[Category:Sun]]</div>
