 <h3 class="section">Interfacing to an archive web server</h3>  <p>A web server providing access to a package archive must support the following queries: </p> <dl compact> <dt>archive-contents</dt> <dd>
<p>Return a lisp form describing the archive contents. The form is a list of ’package-desc’ structures (see <samp>package.el</samp>), except the first element of the list is the archive version. </p> </dd> <dt>&lt;package name&gt;-readme.txt</dt> <dd>
<p>Return the long description of the package. </p> </dd> <dt>&lt;file name&gt;.sig</dt> <dd>
<p>Return the signature for the file. </p> </dd> <dt>&lt;file name&gt;</dt> <dd>
<p>Return the file. This will be the tarball for a multi-file package, or the single file for a simple package. </p> </dd> </dl><div class="_attribution">
