Package Names

GPT has a specific way to refer to binary packages. The format is shown in this figure.

Package Name Format

GPT has some wild card conventions that allow groups of packages to be selected. Essentially you can use the asterisk character "*" for any component of the name you don't care about. In addition, If the flavor or package type is left off of the name then wildcards are assumed. See this table for some examples.
