How often are packages ~rebuilt?

[colindean]

How often are the containers built by this repo rebuilt?

This question came up from the author of Neuron in srid/neuron#528 (comment), which is in active development and sees frequent releases.

There is no programmed update so far.
There are some on-going tasks to support building multiple versions and hence be able to re-build packages when a new version is detected (see https://github.com/whalebrew/whalebrew-packages/blob/master/kubectl/Dockerfile) to see how the version pinning is currently working.

So far I have to admit that thee update of versions is done manually though

@tjamet how does one trigger the update for now? I.e. I would like to get a new version of neuron (1.9.7).

[tjamet]

builds are triggered when updating the package source files.
In this case any changes in this folder: https://github.com/whalebrew/whalebrew-packages/tree/master/neuron

Some things like curl are not pinned to a specific version, and because the Dockerfile never updatesit doesn't get updated.The current version of curl is over two years old. What if we make it automatically rebuild all images every week or something or had it upgrade them all whenever a new alpine image is available?

[parallels@fedora ~]$ docker run --rm whalebrew/curl --version

I am currently working on a mechanism to be able to bump those versions and provide constant version bumps
