Question about prefixes and dependencies #45

Open phunni opened 4 years ago

phunni commented 4 years ago

If I build an image called foo and specify the prefix bar:

darch recipes build -p "bar/" foo

and that image has a dependency based on another image called "base" - does the base need to also have the prefix "bar/" in order for it to build, or can darch just see that we mean "base" and figure it out from there? What if we're pulling images? I assume that an image that's been uploaded is complete and contains everything - including everything from it's parent images? If so, then, presumably, just pulling the "bar/foo" image onto a target machine will do the trick?

The prefix is appended to each dependency needed to build automatically.

Pulling images has no concept of prefix.

If so, then, presumably, just pulling the "bar/foo" image onto a target machine will do the trick?

Yup.

I agree it's confusing, it could have been done better. Hindsight is 2020.
