Outdated rootfs about archriscv-docker-draft

OK, 3 days passed. You must be very busy. I'll create a fork first. If still no response in this week. I will push it to my own Docker registry.

[jaxvanyang]

I have published it to my own Docker repository. Anyone interested could check it over there.

@jaxvanyang Aye, due to a number of factors in live I haven't had time to continue with this "enterprise" RISC-V setup, so much so that the 2nd iteration of StarFive VisionFive came out, so I'm definitely lagging behind. Thanks for taking the interest tho.

[jaxvanyang]

Understood, hope you are well.

[AlexTalker]

@jaxvanyang Yeah, just busy. I've pushed the CI to build the latest image few days ago. I might look to automate this process(of tracking latest version) when I'll get some time =)

[jaxvanyang]

I have done that already, I can create a pr if you like.

[AlexTalker]

@jaxvanyang Feel free, I've personally thought about using something like https://beautiful-soup-4.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ to nicely parse NGNIX autoindex output and put it into GitHub Action that runs periodically(once a week say would suffice for most) that triggers the main action with new env but you do you =)

I use a silly curl approach, but it works fine. #3

@jaxvanyang that PR seems to have way too many changes methinks, I see where you're going with this tho. I think that docker-related things, if needed at all, should be in a separate Makefile file that can be included. Also, using make rule to compute the version is an overkill, in my opinion it is preferable to store such hacks in a separate script.

As I understand, you are trying to build & publish the image locally and/or on different CI than GitHub Actions but at this moment I doubt there's a need for that. I planned to support GitLab in the future also but oh well =)

[AlexTalker]

Thanks for taking a look tho

[jaxvanyang]

Just a hint, you can pick what you like. Maybe grab that curl thing to a shell script or something. I know my method is somewhat dirty. So if you have better idea, just do it.

@AlexTalker FYI, another person is maintaining an up-to-date Docker image.

• https://archriscv.felixc.at
• https://hub.docker.com/r/riscfive/archlinux

[AlexTalker]

@jaxvanyang nice that the ppl finally caught on =)

Anyway, I've added automated weekly update of the images, including bumping to new release version.

It has a room to be more polished but it works for now.

I'll see what comes out of it since I initially intended this image as an environment to package building but due to certain fundamental flaw regarding exec*() exit code in QEMU userspace, my thoughts now more in the direction of full-on emulation since I lack powerful RISC-V hardware at the moment.
