Needs maintainer about alpine-pkg-glibc

[andyshinn]

I've requested transfer to @sgerrand since they have previous experience and commits to the package.

[ysh7]

@andyshinn I am up for this

[sgerrand]

👋 @andyshinn: Happy to do so.

[ysh7]

@andyshinn alright! 😃

So where can we find glibc-2.21-r2.apk and glibc-bin-2.21-r2.apk since they no longer seem to be available at circle-artifacts.com?

[sgerrand]

I'm working to get those artifacts back in place now. The location will probably need to move due to the way CircleCI is coupled to GitHub repositories.

👋 @rlubke: You can download them from https://circle-artifacts.com/gh/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/8/artifacts/0/home/ubuntu/alpine-pkg-glibc/packages/x86_64/glibc-2.21-r2.apk (etc) I'm adding a GitHub release for them now.

[sgerrand]

Now available at https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/tag/v2.21-r2

[elsmorian]

Just out of interest, why are people using specific versions of this- namely 2.21.r2 instead of 2.23.r1?

[sgerrand]

I'm assuming this is being referenced in existing builds, i.e. non modified Dockerfiles.

[rlubke]

That's certainly the case I'm dealing with. I'm not very familiar with the GitHub releases mechanism. Is there a good way to view all available versions for this glibc package?

@rlubke https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases :-) All GitHub repos have the number of releases links next to the number of commits and branches at the index page at the top (Though not all repos actually have releases)
