@lavalamp this is not fully ready to be merged yet but please check that the general idea is ok. Thanks!

ObjectMeta

[lavalamp]

This looks mostly correct, thanks-- just need to follow objectmeta/typemeta conventions-- they differ a little between versions.

[simon3z]

@lavalamp I am just using Kind/APIVersion, I think TypeMeta is the correct one for all the versions. Isn't it?

[lavalamp]

Ah-- actually I think you might be right. We don't need object meta, since we don't store this as a top level object.

[smarterclayton]

Brian was proposing the dependencies object for this use case, but it doesn't exist yet. That would be a list of object references (or object references with additional data).

[lavalamp]

LGTM, needs a rebase.

CLAs look good, thanks!

[simon3z]

@lavalamp I have no idea why Shippable failed. Anyway I expect travis to pass.

[simon3z]

@lavalamp ping, can this be merged?

[lavalamp]

Sorry for delay. We've added the pkg/api/v1 api version, can you add this in there, too?

[simon3z]

@lavalamp can you check if you can merge this today. Thanks.

[lavalamp]

LGTM

[lavalamp]

Will merge on green
