I'm not familiar enough with Puppet's release cycle to know the distinction between a from source build and a from package build. Are "from source" builds essentially just nightlys? I think people are more familiar with keywords such as "head", "master", "edge", or "nightly" and the tag should include something like that. If they're not exactly nightly, but based on a tag in the source, what differentiates a from source build and a from package build?
If I were to look at these tags on Docker Hub, I'd expect them to represent the following: puppet/puppetserver:6.7 => The latest release in the 6.7 series, moving from 6.7.0, through 6.7.1, etc. puppet/puppetserver:6.7.0 => Exactly the release 6.7.0 and never changing puppet/puppetserver:latest => The latest release of Puppet Server, moving through minor *and* major versions. (Perhaps there's room for a puppet/puppetserver:6 tag here) puppet/puppetserver:edge => This one's less immediately obvious to me, but after a moment I'd probably realize that it was some kind of nightly or pre-release beta, especially given the tag date would be after the :latest tag. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
