Manifest Schema¶

The file manifest-schema.toml at the repository root. It defines valid sections, fields, repository classes, and validation rules for SE-family repository manifests.

Repository Manifest¶

• SE_MANIFEST.toml
• MANIFEST.toml

Section¶

A top-level TOML table in a repository manifest. Examples include [repository], [layer], and [scope]. Sections are defined by [section.*] entries in the schema.

Field¶

A key-value pair within a section. Fields are defined by entries under [field.*] in the schema.

Class¶

A repository type declared by [repository].class. Class-specific requirements are defined by [class.*] entries in the schema.

Required Section¶

A section that must be present for a given repository class. Declared in a class entry's required_sections.

Optional Section¶

A section that may be present for a given repository class. Declared in a class entry's optional_sections.

Forbidden Section¶

A section that must not be present for a given repository class. Declared in a class entry's forbidden_sections.

Validation¶

The process of checking a repository manifest against manifest-schema.toml. A valid manifest produces no errors.

Breaking Change¶
