#manifest ⇒ Object

A manifest is a Mash that maps segment names to arrays of manifest records (see #preferred_manifest_record for format of manifest records), as well as describing cookbook metadata. The manifest follows a form like the following:

{
  :cookbook_name = "apache2",
  :version = "1.0",
  :name = "Apache 2"
  :metadata = ???TODO: timh/cw: 5-24-2010: describe this format,

  :files => [
    {
      :name => "afile.rb",
      :path => "files/ubuntu-9.10/afile.rb",
      :checksum => "2222",
      :specificity => "ubuntu-9.10"
    },
  ],
  :templates => [ manifest_record1, ... ],
  ...
}
