===========
|
|
|
|
This project is the source for the Docker perl repo; for more details,
|
|
take a look at https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/perl/.
|
|
|
|
The structure of this repo is to use the full version ID of each Perl
|
|
version, plus a comma separate list of extensions, followed by the
|
|
Debian release codename that the resulting Docker image will be based
|
|
from.
|
|
|
|
The Docker Perl image now builds and runs in architectures other than
|
|
`amd64`, such as [`i386`][1] and [`arm64v8`][2]; see
|
|
[docker-library/official-images][3] for the details.

## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
The individual Dockerfiles are generated via `generate.pl`, which uses
|
|
Releases.yaml to populate the individual files. This needs the
|
|
`Devel::PatchPerl` and `YAML::XS` modules, which you can install by
|
|
doing `cpanm --installdeps .` in this repository's root directory.
|
|
|
|
To regenerate the `Dockerfile`s, just run `./generate.pl`. Do note that
|
|
this might take time as it will download the Perl source tarballs for
|
|
each version to re-patch with updates from `Devel::PatchPerl` as needed.
|
|
Also, it is advised to update `Devel::PatchPerl` as soon as a new
|
|
version comes out.
|
|
|
|
For older versions of Perl, some patches may be necessary to build
|
|
properly on a current base OS. In those cases, perl -V will show the
|
|
locally applied patches. These changes should be limited to Configure
|
|
rather than to code itself, and will be a cherry pick or back port of a
|
|
patch from the mainline perl branch whenever possible.
