Artifacts

The categorization of artifacts does not enforce anything on the structure of the associated files and key-value data. However, there must be some consistency and rules to be able to a make a meaningful use of the system.

The Available artifacts section documents the various categories that we use to manage a Debian-based distribution. For each category, we explain:

  • what associated files you can find

  • what key-value data you can expect

  • what relationships with other artifacts are likely to exist

Data key names are used in pydantic models, and must therefore be valid Python identifiers.

See the explanation for an overview, and below for technical details.
