Issue was filed upstream for `bindep` here https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2008049 Ping @pabelanger, this can create situations which are _really_ difficult to debug. I mainly hit it where it would error without a...

I'm increasingly thinking that the best solution is to make `ansible-builder` depend on bindep as a python package and call it directly in code. ```python if depends is None: depends...

What environment variables would we need to forward into the container? The pattern we need is pretty off-the-shelf, we just apply it to the `galaxy` stage in our case. ```...

Copying from prior issue ---- We have a proposal that we would document certain bindep profiles that, if included by a collection, would trigger certain behavior by `ansible-builder`. We have...

We are using a stop-gap solution for several repos already. It's just that oVirt is the one that proves the general point because its repo is so specific to the...
