+# Konflux build system Files
+
+This directory holds the requirements.txt file use in the Konflux builds to pre-fetch the required packages.
+
+Here are two files that we need to keep:
+
+- **requirements.txt**: is the result of the `pip freeze` command (see example below).
+
+## How to update the requirements.txt file
+
+Once the final container is built, you can access it:
+
+```bash
+podman run <modelmesh-runtime-adapter-container-name> sh -c 'pip freeze'
+```
+
+Note, for `tensorflow-io-gcs-filesystem` it must be pinned to **0.34.0** manually after generating the `requirements.txt` file.`
+
+Then commit the changes and push.
+
+# Konflux configuration
+
+Build configuration, it requires the build be configured as follows:
+
+```yaml
+- name: prefetch-input
+  value: |
+    [{"type": "gomod"}, {"type": "rpm"}, {"type": "pip", "path": ".", "requirements_files": ["requirements.txt"], "allow_binary": "true"}]
+```
