Thanks for contributing. The Dockerfiles should be auto-generated from a template and the versions of Alpine to use come from https://github.com/corretto/corretto-docker/blob/main/bin/apply-template.py#L16.
We also need to do a fair bit of testing on new versions of Alpine internally before we can support 3.18, which will happen for an upcoming release.
Hi @lutkerd Do you have any kind of projected timeline for including Alpine 3.18 and when that might be available?
We're testing it internally now, and are targeting inclusion in the Q3 release on 2023-07-18. The usual caveats about blocking bugs apply.
@benty-amzn can the work in progress branch be pushed so we can see the staged changes? Is it more than bumping the FROM
line?
Waiting until the Q3 release is not an option for many that must react quicker to CVEs. An example is ncurses CVE-2023-29491 which is only fixed in 3.18+.
Could a release candidate image with 3.18 as an option be made available early?
Merged changes from @benty-amzn that use the template.
Provide images based on Alpine 3.18 so that downstream projects can benefit from using the latest version of Alpine Linux.
