Story: [ipfs-pack] Create or Update a pack manifest file

[flyingzumwalt]

Use pack make to create or update a PackManifest file. See disussion about format for PackManifest files

[rht]

Would the resources field in https://github.com/ipfs/archives/pull/101/files#diff-c2efd16ce17aedc8d326b8740770ec13 count as a manifest file?

[flyingzumwalt]

Please refer to the draft proposal for ipfs-pack for technical details about ipfs-pack and its manifest files.

[rht]

If I read the proposal correctly:

• a manifest file is a flat hash table of the filenames, almost like the output of ipfs add
• No further metadata are specified, such as byte boundaries like in a .torrent file, permission string, no size, mime type

@rht if you have comments/questions about the draft proposal, please post them on that issue. Otherwise they will be lost from the thread of conversation.
