We currently cache Google Chrome deb files in AWS. Since GitLab 14.8
Generic Packages have become generally available. So in order to remove
the dependency on AWS and to dogfood the feature, we are going to cache
the Google Chrome deb files with GitLab
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/generic_packages/
Every package manager should clean up after themselves in order to keep
docker layers neat and tiny:
apt (Debian/Ubuntu package manager):
- unneeded dependencies are cleared (autoremove)
- caches are cleaned (clean)
- package lists are deleted
yum (CentOS package manager),
zypper (OpenSuse package manager)
- should clear caches after installing dependencies
pip (Python package manager),
apk (Alpine package manager)
- should use no cache for installing dependencies
