Thoughts on using docker to build?
I've lately been considering moving away from using `makechrootpkg` when building packages for ArchHaskell. I've been playing with docker, and the last few updates have been built using a few helper scripts I've put together. Does anyone on the list have any thoughts on docker? Would you consider it suitable and a good replacement for the chroots that have been used in the past? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus The results point out the fragility of programmer expertise: advanced programmers have strong expectations about what programs should look like, and when those expectations are violated--in seemingly innocuous ways--their performance drops drastically. -- Elliot Soloway and Kate Ehrlich

I think it is a really good idea. I used it quite a bit already as well. At some point I built stackage inside such a container. -- Best regards, -- NP
