Use bionic and update dependencies #67

Closed xrl closed 5 years ago

xrl commented 5 years ago

I had trouble building my CLI app with diesel/openssl support. Turns out it does matter the order of extern crate foo; does matter. While I threw everything possible at the wall, I tried building my own rust-musl-builder image.

One of the g++ dependency was failing to install, owing to something wrong in the Ubuntu archives no doubt. And I use bionic elsewhere in my infrastructure so I thought it would be helpful to upgrade to a new LTS release. It was pretty easy, the biggest change is dragging in gcc8 libraries vs 4.7.

I also upgrade the custom built dependencies. OpenSSL gets LTS release 1.0.2q, postgres gets bumped to 9.6.9.

I don't think the linked issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/34978 matters anymore. I have successfully built using this image and I'm happy with it.

Also, pro-tip to anyone who wants to build their own rust-musl for nightly, use docker build's build-args to override the toolchain:

docker build --build-arg="TOOLCHAIN=nightly-2019-01-09" -t rust-musl:nightly .

Thank you for this PR! You're right, we should upgrade this to the latest LTS.

I've upgraded to the latest LTS, OpenSSL, etc. You can find it on the experimental branch while I test it against various existing apps. Thank you!
