A short name to identify the interface (e.g. "Foo"). Required! Short one-line description; the first word should not be upper-case unless it is a proper noun (e.g. "cures all ills"). Required! Full description, which can be several paragraphs long. The URL of a web-page describing this interface in more detail. An icon to use for the program. A category as defined by the freedesktop.org menu specification. Indicates that the program requires a terminal in order to run. Graphical launchers should therefore run this program in a suitable terminal emulator. An additional feed containing implementations of this interface. The implementations in this feed are implementations of the given interface. This is used when adding a third-party feed. This feed was replaced by another interface. This attribute gives the oldest version of the injector that can read this file. Older versions will tell the user to upgrade if they are asked to read the file. Versions prior to 0.20 do not perform this check, however. If the attribute is not present, the file can be read by all versions. This attribute is only needed for remote feeds (fetched via HTTP). The value must exactly match the expected URL, to prevent an attacker replacing one correctly-signed feed with another (e.g., returning a feed for the shred program when the user asked for the backup program). The URL used to locate the icon. The MIME type of the icon. This value is case-insensitive. The URL or local path used to locate the feed. The natural language(s) which the implementations in the feed support. For platform-specific binaries, the platform for which the implementations in the feed were compiled, in the form os-cpu. Either the os or cpu part may be *, which will make it available on any OS or CPU. The URI used to locate the interface. All attributes of the group are inherited by any child groups and implementations as defaults, but can be overridden there. All dependencies and bindings are inherited (sub-groups may add more dependencies and bidnings to the list, but cannot remove anything). The natural language(s) which the implementation supports. For platform-specific binaries, the platform for which the implementation was compiled, in the form os-cpu. Either the os or cpu part may be *, which will make it available on any OS or CPU. The version number of the implementation. A string to be appended to the version. The purpose of this is to allow complex version numbers (such as "1.0-rc2") in older versions of the injector. The date this implementation was made available. For development versions checked out from version control this attribute should not be present. The default stability rating for this implementation. License terms (typically a Trove category, as used on freshmeat.net). The relative path of an executable inside the implementation that should be executed by default when the interface is run. If an implementation has no main setting, then it cannot be executed without specifying one manually. This typically means that the interface is for a library. The relative path of an executable inside the implementation that can be executed to test the program. The program must be non-interactive (e.g. it can't open any windows or prompt for input). It should return with an exit status of zero if the tests pass. Any other status indicates failure. The relative path of a directory inside the implementation that contains the package's documentation. This is the directory that would end up inside /usr/share/doc on a traditional Linux system. A Command says how to run an implementation as a program. A single command-line argument to be passed to the executable. Will be automatically escaped to allow proper concatenation of multiple arguments containing spaces. The name of the command. The relative path of an executable inside the implementation that should be executed to run this command. Bindings specify how the chosen implementation is made known to the running program. Make a chosen implementation available by setting environment variables. The name of the environment variable. A static value to set the variable to. If this is set 'insert' must be empty. The relative path of the item within the implementation to insert into the variable's value. Use "." to publish the root directory. If this is set 'value' must be empty. Controls how 'insert' or 'value' is added to the variable. Overrides the default separator character (colon character on POSIX systems, and semi-colon on Windows). If the environment variable is not currently set then this value is used for prepending or appending. The absolute path of the item is prepended to the current value of the variable. The absolute path of the item is append to the end of the current value of the variable. The old value is overwritten, and the 'default' attribute is ignored. Make a chosen implementation available by overlaying it onto another part of the file-system. The relative path of the directory in the implementation to publish. The default is to publish everything. The mount point on which src is to appear in the filesystem. If missing, '/' (on POSIX) or '%systemdrive%' (on Windows) is assumed. Make a chosen implementation available by overlaying it onto another part of the file-system. The name of the environment variable. The name of the command in the implementation to launch. If missing, 'run' is assumed. Make a chosen implementation available as an executable in the search PATH. The name of the executable (without file extensions). The name of the command in the implementation to launch. If missing, 'run' is assumed. Switches the working directory of a process on startup to a location within an implementation This is to support legacy programs which can't properly locate their installation directory. The relative path of the directory in the implementation to publish. The default is to publish everything. A reference to an interface that is required as dependency. Restricts the versions that are allowed. The URI or local path used to identify the interface. Controls how important this dependency is (i.e. whether ignoring it is an option). This can be used to indicate that this dependency is only needed in some cases. This is the lowest-numbered version that can be chosen. This version and all later versions are unsuitable. A version of the dependency must be selected. No version of the dependency is also an option, although selecting a version is preferable to not selecting one. A reference to an interface that is required by an command as a runner. A single command-line argument to be passed to the executable. Will be automatically escaped to allow proper concatenation of multiple arguments containing spaces. The name of the command in the interface to use. Set by user as a personal preference overriding other stability criteria. Indicates that an implementation is provided as a package-implementation. No serious problems. Any new release. More extreme version of "testing", expected to have bugs. Known bugs, none security-related. Known bugs, some or all security-related. An implementation is a specific version of an application, e.g. Firefox 3.6 for Windows. A unique identifier for this implementation. Used when storing implementation-specific user preferences. If the feed file is a local file (the interface 'uri' starts with /) then the local-path attribute may contain the pathname of a local directory (either an absolute path or a path relative to the directory containing the feed file). Stores digests of the .manifest file using various hashing algorithms. A manifest digest is a means of uniquely identifying an implementation and verifying its contents. A retrieval method is a way of getting a copy of an implementation. A recipe is a list of recipe steps used to create an implementation directory. A step within a recipe. Represents an archive to be downloaded and extracted. The URL used to locate the archive. The type of the archive as a MIME type. If missing, the type is guessed from the extension on the 'Location' attribute. This value is case-insensitive. The size of the archive in bytes. The archive must have the given size or it will be rejected. The number of bytes at the beginning of the file which should be ignored. The value in the size attribute does not include the skipped bytes. This is useful for some self-extracting archives which are made up of a shell script followed by a normal archive in a single file. The name of the subdirectory in the archive to extract; empty or unset for entire archive. An implementation provided by a distribution-specific package manager. he name of the package in the distribution-specific package manager. A space-separated list of distribution names where the package name applies. Associates a command with a user-friendly name and description. Indicates that the entry point requires a terminal in order to run. Graphical launchers should therefore run this program in a suitable terminal emulator. Localized user-friendly name for the command. Short one-line description; the first word should not be upper-case unless it is a proper noun (e.g. "cures all ills"). Full description, which can be several paragraphs long. An icon to represent the command. The name of the command. The canonical name of the binary supplying the command (without file extensions). Used by desktop integration to better name stubs.
