Where should the list of values for `platform` live?

Open rayankans opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

The platform value is OS-specific. Should the list of values live in this spec? Or in the Manifest spec? Or is it out-of-scope for specs?

Since GIRA is built on the Manifest ExternalApplicationResource structure, platform needs to be defined there, if anywhere.

I am personally opposed to defining platform-specific values for things in specs. Then any new platform that wants to participate needs to get itself added to the spec. I think we should just allow individual platforms to specify their own name and define what that means.
