Outer-package

An Outer-package includes an Inner-package and some other information needed to be provided to ept for use, such as signature files, QA test results, etc.; archiving these contents using tar will yield an Outer-package.

The general directory structure of an Outer-package is as follows:

│ {PACKAGE_NAME}_{VERSION}_{FIRST_AUTHOR}.tar.zst # Inner-package │ signature.toml # Signature file

Signature File

The signature file is named signature.toml, which stores the author and signature information for the Inner-package and other files.

A signature file might look like this:

# Signature information for the in-package [package] # Signer signer = '{SIGNER}' # Digest signature = '{SIGNATURE}'

You can find the complete definition of the signature file fields in Definition and API.
