Set `package_manager.allow_uv=true` when writing manifest

When publishing to Connect I would like to be able to use uv to install the dependencies on Connect, to speed things up. Our platform devs have set the AllowUV config option to true, so we have that sorted. In the Posit Connect release notes it says:

Deployment manifests can now provide a package_manager.allow_uv=true option to request the use of uv for deployments if available.

My question is: how can we set that option in the manifest? Is the only option to amend it manually?

Hi there!

Currently, there isn't a way to set this option via the publishing clients - so you're correct that you'll need to edit the manifest manually.

An alternative solution would be to set Python.DefaultPackageManager in your Connect configuration to always use uv by default.
