Dear relentless RIOTers,
I would like to introduce an official repository for keeping Dockerfiles
used for building Docker images. The images can be used to build RIOT in
conjunction with the work being proposed in [1]. The images will contain
supported versions of tool chains to make getting started with RIOT more
convenient. I volunteer as maintainer for the Dockerfile repository and the
pre-built images which will be published at the Docker hub [2]. The reason
for making a separate repository instead of using /dist/XXXXX is that we
can more easily keep track of tool chain updates, and we can use the Docker
hub automatic build feature to automatically update the images. Using the
core RIOT code repo for Dockerfiles will cause an unnecessary amount of
rebuilds when watching it with the automatic build feature of the Docker
hub.

Best regards,
Joakim
