Distro options in debian similiar to ubuntus #106

Open dionysius opened 1 year ago

Addition to #58:

Can we have other distro name options for debian like we have for ubuntu which follow future releases?

like the official debian notation: debian_testing, debian_stable, debian_oldstable, etc...
Docker has a special tag latest: so debian_latest = debian_stable
the numbers: debian_11, debian_10, etc...
some of the missing names: sid, bookworm, buster, ... (and/or prefix them with debian_)

where applicable?

I think you could use any base image now with https://github.com/uraimo/run-on-arch-action/pull/103 being merged.

That's true, but I'd rather not use that, according to the README:

Known limitation: Only one base_image configuration for each workflow if you use GitHub images caching.

Edit: Just to elaborate it further. Since emulating is already very expensive and time consuming, any caching of images saves time and github resources in the future.

If we could get a matrix full of individual base_images to be cached each, I'm happy to use base_image. If I understand this correctly this is not the case right now.
