Create a ZIP archive including IPC, PnP and ZIP file

How is this third file, the ZIP file, created? Is it necessary to have a zip file inside a zip file?
Or is it enough to just zip the files from step 2 with the ipc and mnt file?

And how to set the MPN and manufacturer data for the components automatically?
Should this data be included in the mnt file somehow?

The first question is answered, the ZIP file is read in step 2.
But how are the MPN and manufacturer data for the components transferred?
In which file should this data appear and in which format?

Why can’t I just upload a fusion board file? Gerbers add extra complexity.
