I was considering two things regarding timestamping (that could also ensure cache bursting and image rebuild on new ROS syncs) .
- Storing sync date in an environment variable e.g.
ROS_SYNC_DATEso that users can know from within the environment what version of the ROS stack they are using (something like the rosdistro tags stripped from the distro name:rolling/2024-05-24->2024-05-24 - Adding the sync date to the tag like done for ubuntu :+1:
WDYT ?
It'd be neat to add/rotate the same datetime pattern to the official ROS image tags as Ubuntu for dependabot:
Then folks could automate the version bump and rebuild of their child docker images whenever a new release is detected. Although, perhaps this can be achieved by pinning the tag via the image digest, so maybe not worth it.
