packages_yaml.md

packages.yaml

This file is used to define which packages to make available in your WORKSPACE and finely control, among other things, dependency-resolution.

distros

This list defines from which debian-distros packages should be pulled.

Possible values:

• debian8
• debian9
• debian10
• debian11
• debian12

NOTE: It is expecting distros like debian11 instead of codenames like bullseye !

archs

This list defines for which architectures packages should be pulled.

Possible values:

• amd64
• arm64
• arm
• ppc64le
• s390x

packages

This list defines which packages to make available in your WORKSPACE.

exclude_packages

This list defines which packages (and their dependencies) to exclude while resolving dependencies.

This can be used to explicitly prevent packages from being included (e.g. "when adding git do not add perl").

package_priorities

This list defines which packages to prioritize over others when a package dependency states either X or Y.

Example

- distros: ["debian11"]
  archs: ["amd64"]
  packages:
    - busybox-static
    - clinfo
    - git
  exclude_packages:
    # generally excluded from distroless
    - debconf
    - debconf-2.0
    - dpkg
    - install-info
    - debianutils
    - media-types
    - mime-support
    # prevent git from pulling in perl
    - perl
  package_priorities:
    # force clinfo to prioritize libopencl1 over ocl-icd-libopencl1
    - [libopencl1, ocl-icd-libopencl1]
