Packaging
Components are packaged in archive files. A number of archive formats are
supported: .gz, .tar, .tar.gz, and zip. There is no specific naming convention for
component archive files; however, the following is often used: com_name-version.
For example, the package for version 1.0.0 of My Extension would be called
com_myextension-1.0.0.
When you package a component, ensure you do not include
any system files. Mac developers should be especially vigilant
and consider using the CleanArchiver utility

Within the package, as well as the component files, are some special files, which tell
Joomla! what to do during installation and un-installation of a component. These
include the XML manifest file, an install, uninstall PHP script, and an install and
uninstall S???L file.
XML Manifest File
The XML manifest file details everything the installer needs to know about an
extension. Any mistakes in the file may result in partial or complete installation
failure.
