This directory contains build steps to create "cbpy", which is a standalone customized Python 3 package. This package will be installed on customer machines as part of Server, and will be used for all Python 3 scripts that we ship.
Therefore, if you write any Python 3 scripts that require a new third-party Python library, we must add it here to ensure that it is available in production.
This used to be part of the Server build itself, but as it grew somewhat more complex, it made sense to pull it out to a separate build. I'm making this a cbdeps 1.0 package (ie, here in tlm/deps/packages rather than driven by a separate manifest) because this actually IS effectively part of the Server build. This also means we can keep the couchbase-server-specific Black Duck manifest here in the same location as the environment files which define what python libraries are included, making it easier to keep them in sync.
