Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-18249:
----------------------------------------------
I can think of three ways to handle this:
* Docker in docker (dind): this requires running in [privileged
mode|https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#runtime-privilege-and-linux-capabilities].
* chroot environments: we don't actually need a container to build packages.
Unfortunately this too requires running in privileged mode, and
maintenance-wise I think docker wins since we'd probably have to roll the
chroots ourselves.
* add a package building step to the release process
I think keeping the existing build system and adding a package building step to
releasing is the most attractive solution of these, not to mention the
simplest, and I'll start putting that together. /cc [~mck]
