The plan is to package up each Sailfish target into a Docker image to be used in a CI system. For my purposes, Docker is a easy-to-use chroot that's also easy to share and deploy as compared to a virtual machine with a toolchain in sb2.
I do know that sb2 is more than just a chroot with bind mounts, but thats all I really need: a pre-populated chroot with bind mounts. Docker fits that bill quite nicely. No, I don't want multiple targets in the same image. No, I don't need the management of multiple build targets within the same Docker image. I don't want any of the other sb2 features: I dont need Xephyr, I don't need to automagically run the compiled binary under qemu, etc. Necessity is the mother of this re-invention. Can you help?
