The first weekly development report. Feel free to send PRs if you want to add to these reports (or correct them).
At the beginning of the week we removed all the remaining parts of the previous "monolithic" builds that we used for editions, in favour of the new build tool and yaml files. There are a whole lot of parts that need putting back, for example
Will get these restored over the next few days so the system is more useful and usable; it is rather minimal at present.
There is an open issue for more reorganisation of the repo structure see https://github.com/docker/moby/issues/1266
Tycho @tych0 joined Docker this week, working on the kernel and security. Thomas @samoht at Docker is working on privilege separation in userspace.
We welcome the IBM team, working on support for Bluemix, and look forward to their contributions:
Also three of the Docker Captains
Also the VMWare team
It is our first week bringing in external contributors, please ask for all the help you need on #moby in the community Slack and with issues and PRs on github, and we look forward to working with all of you (and more coming soon).
Added support for more output formats in the yaml config, see https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1279 and https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1277 for qcow2, GCE compressed raw image and VHD. More to come such as direct AMI support. You can add these to your yaml config eg
outputs:
- format: vhd
Support for setting the kernel command line in the output format, removing the hard coded edition defaults. https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1264
Support for generating configuration ISO images for hyperkit https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1276 part of the move to make the hyperkit emulation environment look much more like a real cloud provider with consistent userdata support so that the hyperkit infrakit support can be a close model for real world "works on my laptop" usage https://github.com/docker/moby/tree/master/tools/infrakit.hyperkit
The docs for how we maintain the kernel tree were updated https://github.com/docker/moby/blob/master/docs/kernel-patches.md
Initial support for running the kernel LTP test suite https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1282 as part of our roadmap for expanding testing.
