Outdated DockerHub images #236

Closed osalbahr closed 8 months ago

osalbahr commented 10 months ago

I am designing a problem for Open Kattis as part of a competitive programming class. I’m considering using https://hub.docker.com/r/problemtools/icpc to make it easier to verify that I have all that’s needed. However, I noticed the image hasn’t been updated for 4 years. Is using problemtools via the container method no longer supported?

You can always make your own container, that's what I did for my CI. I recommend you do the same with the dev version you want to use. I tend to use the latest version all the time.

I'm fairly certain that Kattis is running a version very close to the master branch, so the same as the docker image you linked.

It is very, very difficult to get problemtools to compile on most architectures; many problem designers therefore rely on some very outdated docker images.

The lack of a curated docker image of a canonical problemtools version (alternatively, a problemtools version that can be built on, say, a Mac) is among the bigger accessibility and outreach issues for problemtools and the problem package format.

Docker images are now up-to-date.
