Re: [platform-update-dev] Link files

Peter,

I know that this is in the section about native install/uninstall, and
that these items can not be updated.  As all the plugins I currently
have are not managed by the update manager but rather manually 
installed this seems very much the right thing to do until each
of the plugins I am using is set up so that the update manager
can handle them.

This however still leaves the question, what is the file format and are
they implemented?
