Consistent naming conventions for deployment packages #

This is XOAP’s naming convention. All installation and configuration packages are named after this defined concept. The naming concept is mandatory for all packages because the frontend relies on that structure to show package information.

Naming convention structure:

TYPE_Manufacturer_Name_Version_OperatingSystem_Platform_Language
