Dependencies

PackageDependencies specifies dependency information for a particular package. This includes dependencies for runtime, which will be installed along with the package by the package manager, as well as any dependencies needed to build and/or test the resulting package. Configuration for any additional package repositories which are required may also be added here.

Fields

Build: The list of packages required to build the package.

build:
  package_name:
      version: [">=1.0.0", "<2.0.0"]
      arch: ["amd64", "arm64"]

Runtime: The list of packages required to install/run the package.

runtime:
  package_name:
      version: [">=1.0.0", "<2.0.0"]
      arch: ["amd64", "arm64"]

Recommends: The list of packages recommended to install with the generated package.

recommends:
  package_name:
      version: [">=1.0.0", "<2.0.0"]
      arch: ["amd64", "arm64"]

Sysext: The list of packages to include in the generated system extension. No dependency resolution is performed when generating system extensions, so all required dependencies must be explicitly listed here.
```
sysext:
  package_name:
      version: [">=1.0.0", "<2.0.0"]
      arch: ["amd64", "arm64"]
```

Each of the above fields is a list of PackageConstraints.

Test: Lists and extra packages required for running tests. These are only installed for tests which have steps that require running a command in the built container. See TestSpec for more information
```
test:
  - package_name_1
  - package_name_2
```

ExtraRepos: Used to inject extra package repositories that may be used to satisfy package dependencies in various stages.

extra_repos:
  - keys:
      mykey:
        http:
          URL: "https://example.com/mykey.gpg"
          permissions: 0644
    config: 
      myrepo:
        http:
          url: "https://example.com/myrepo.list"
    data: 
      - dest: "/path/to/dest"
        spec: source
    envs: ["build", "test", "install"]

See repositories for more details on repository configs.
