Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[billinghamj]

Now that the current Ubuntu LTS is 16.04 ("Xenial Xerus"), could you possibly add it to your list of supported OSes?

Thanks!

Hey @billinghamj!

The short answer is "Yes!"

The long answer is, I'm building automated infrastructure that will magically detect these things and ship them for us without human intervention. This means new OS releases will become available within hours of them showing up in the NodeSource repos as opposed to within weeks.

The automated bits for this repo are done here: https://github.com/nodesource/docker-node/blob/automate/tools/get_releases.sh

I'm working on automating the build infrastructure now so the machines will be provisioned and kick off builds when changes are detected upstream. This may take a few days, but it's on the horizon!

Any progress on this? Need any help to get it running?

Hey @mansona

Sorry, I've been AFK for my honeymoon. The automated tooling should be picking this up, strange that it isn't. Taking a look today.

[billinghamj]

@retrohacker Did you manage to find out why it isn't being pulled in? :)

[mansona]

@retrohacker is the automated tooling opensource or on github? might be worth bringing the discussion to that repo if there is anything to be gained from our help 😄

(also congrats 🎉 🎊 )

[retrohacker]

Thanks @mansona!

And the tooling is opensource, it lives at https://github.com/nodesource/docker-node/blob/master/tools/build.sh

Running build.sh kicks off the chain of events that lead to a fresh batch of Docker images :smile:

[billinghamj]

So all that's needed is to just add three lines to the gen-dists.sh file...?

See #54
