Testing

• ab-pre-push on aws: http://selfservice.jenkins.delphix.com/job/devops-gate/job/master/job/appliance-build-orchestrator-pre-push/3382/
• ab-pre-push on esx: http://selfservice.jenkins.delphix.com/job/devops-gate/job/master/job/appliance-build-orchestrator-pre-push/3383/
• ab-pre-push to build images for aws, esx, gcp, azure, oracle: http://selfservice.jenkins.delphix.com/job/devops-gate/job/master/job/appliance-build-orchestrator-pre-push/3380/ (The "oracle" part failed because it's not a valid platform. See next test)
• ab-pre-push to build images for oci: http://selfservice.jenkins.delphix.com/job/devops-gate/job/master/job/appliance-build-orchestrator-pre-push/3381/

Maybe stupid question, but: With the removal of things like linux-aws from the list of dependencies, how does the build bring in the right linux kernel package now?

[sebroy]

It looks like with this change, all platform-specific kernel packages share the exact same set of dependencies. Is there a way to consolidate and reduce the duplication?

[pzakha]

Yeah, we can use a single file instead. I wanted to hold on this for now in case we need to add other packages for some of the platforms, but I can also go ahead with that change if you think it's better to do it now.

This is done by the Provides line:

Provides: delphix-kernel-aws, delphix-kernel

delphix-platform-aws dependds on delphix-kernel-aws.
