Wrong Dockerfile in docker-library

[m-dango]

docker pull still gets you 2016.11 as latest from the official repo: https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/blob/master/library/rakudo-star

There's an outstanding pr to update the docker library with 2017.0: https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/pull/2599

[m-dango]

Ah I see. Maybe master or a tag could have a Dockerfile with rakudo_version=latest, with other branches/tags pointing to specific releases? (EDIT: This goes against their expectation of repeatability i.e "rebuilding the same Dockerfile should result in the same version of the image being packaged." Ignore me, I'm no Docker expert 🙂)

Will try to take a look. Meanwhile, there are also unofficial images updated to 2017.01 https://hub.docker.com/r/jjmerelo/alpine-perl6/

[m-dango]

I think we'll either need to give them a well defined use case for https://github.com/perl6/docker/pull/6 or take it out, as we seem to be at a bit of an impasse with it.

Does anyone mind if I roll back #6 for now, just to get the new image built?

I think the markdown changes there are fine -- I was planning to comment later today recommending to roll back the Dockerfile change but you beat me to the punch. 😇

In the interest of getting the new image out there, I'm going to revert #6. We can always bring it back if needed.
