Install custom system dependency #188

Closed fmannhardt closed 5 years ago

fmannhardt commented 5 years ago

I am trying to run a project via cloudml that makes use of the Cairo package. Unfortunately, the VM used by Google does not include the required system library libcairo2-dev.

Is there a simple solution to include additional system dependencies without forking the cloudml package?

As an example, I added the required dependency manually in this fork: https://github.com/fmannhardt/cloudml/commit/bf46cd6bab47922e393add79695df5499219662e Maybe this could be supported through package options or environment variables?
