Allow dependsOn to contain a mix of Kustomize/HelmRelease

[dan-j]

Great project! I'm only a couple of days into learning the Flux ecosystem however I've just tried to create a Kustomization which dependsOn a HelmRelease and it appears that this isn't supported.

I can't find a similar issue so I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, is there any views to supporting this kind of behaviour?

You could introduce a new kind field to dependency.CrossNamespaceDependencyReference, which if not set defaults to the kind of the source resource (which maintains this feature as a non-breaking change), but if is set, will lookup that resource type rather than implying it's the same kind as the source.

Thoughts? I'm always open to making PRs to open source, but interested to see what the maintainers thoughts are, and how complex a change like this might be to make.

There is a discussion in the fluxcd/flux2 repo, this repo is for Flux v1 (which is in maintenance mode)

• Flux v1 is in maintenance mode #3320

fluxcd/flux2#730

This has been brought up before. There did not seem to be consensus that what we have done is the only way.

I would take a look through that discussion, for some background

fluxcd/flux2#1599

This one has been more recent, and probably more reflective of the maintainer team's current thoughts about the issue.
