Platform

Platform is a minimal subset of RPM-based operating system that is enough to build RPM packages listed in test subject.

Platform is defined by one or more YUM repositories with a number of RPM packages that are taken from these repositories, along with their runtime dependencies.

Platform is only a small subset of the whole OS for two reasons: to improve build performance and to prevent new dependencies on OS packages from getting in unnoticed.

Machine-readable information about platform in XML format can be found in platform.xml. Human-readable information is included below.
