The bundles is stored in a squashfs image containing /, /bin, and /meta. The “meta” directory should contain at least the “snap.yaml” file with the name, version, synopsis (“summary”), and description of the package. For a first version this could already be enough. In later versions we could offer ways to customize the contents of the /meta directory.
