The file which drives the package system is the applications <app-name>.control file. Typically this is automatically generated by the build system using information from the <app-name>.pro and other development files.
When packages are added to a package feed available via HTTP, the <app-name>.control file is extracted from the .tar.gz package and concatenated on the web site directories packages.list file. If the package is not listed there with a valid entry it is not available for download by the Package Manager.
